"Girls, when are you going to uncover my eyes?"
"Right about… now!"
The darkness cleared from Kid's vision, and his eyes widened.
They were in the garage of the manor, and in front of Kid was a huge motorcycle which would make soul's look pathetic.
It was completely black, with a metallic finish. Four chrome afterburners rumbled slowly in the back. The seat and gas tank looked almost melded with the rest of the bike, like it was all one big, seamless machine.
In between the handlebars, facing front, was a white skull, glaring at anyone who dared to stand in front of the menacing motorcycle. The death insignia was painted on both sides of the gas tank, as well as on the seat.
Altogether, the motorcycle's seat must have been four feet off the ground. The wheels alone were two feet in diameter. The finishing touch was the license plate, which read "DEATHKID".
"It…" Kid said slowly. "IT'S A MASTERPIECE!" he ran over to the bike and inspected it all over. "It's EXACTLY symmetrical! The license plate even has eight letters! Father's gloves, it's the perfect vehicle!" He turned to his weapons, who had led him here. His eyes grew teary. "Girls, have I told you how much I love you lately?" he said even as he launched into a dual hug.
"Yes, actually. You have." Patty giggled.
"Since your car was crushed the other day, we thought we'd build a ride for you." Liz said. "We built it all on our own!"
"Really? ALL on your own?" Kid asked, standing back and raising an eyebrow at the girls.
"Yeah!" Liz said rather indignantly.
Kid's eyebrow raised further.
"Soul helped." Patty admitted.
"Patty!" Liz said, annoyed at her sister ruining the secret.
"No, no, that's what I thought." Kid said. "If you two REALLY built it, it'd either explode or fall apart the minute I turned it on."
"Hey!" Liz said. "We're not THAT bad at building things!"
"What about the time when you two tried to fix the waffle iron, but somehow turned it into a killer android?" Kid replied.
"That was an ACCIDENT!" Patty whined.
"Anyways…" Liz intervened, hoping to ease the tension. "I kind of wanted to get a pink hot rod, but then Patty thought of ghost rider's motorcycle, and I knew that was WAY too cool an idea to be ignored. So we gave Soul a ring, and he whipped up this sweet ride."
"Plus, there's special features, like this!" Patty said, skipping over and flipping a switch on one of the handlebars. The skull's eyes blazed with a burning white light.
"Headlights in the EYES? That's genius!" Kid cried.
"And there's a red version, for intimidation!" Patty added, pressing a switch next to the first one. The bright white light was replaced with a blood red one.
"There's even a concealed nitro tank somewhere, for superspeed!" Liz mentioned.
"This… this is incredible!" Kid smiled. Then his eyebrows bunched as he began to think. "But what if I need to drive you guys somewhere?"
"That's easy." Said Patty. She skipped over to a darker part of the garage, and pulled out two sidecars, same shade of black as the motorcycle, which could be attatched to both sides of the bike. "This way, when we're all riding, we'll all be symmetrical!"
"What if I only need to drive one of you?"
"There's a little seat behind the main one for us." Liz said, patting a smaller seat near the back of he motorcycle.
"Um…" Kid said, blushing, "…don't take this the wrong way, but will you FIT on that seat? It's kinda small…"
"Of course I will!" Liz said indignantly. She sat on the rear seat, to prove it. "see?"
Then Kid grinned wickedly. In one fluid motion, he leapt onto the main seat of the bike, turned the ignition, and the bike leapt out of the garage with a VA-ROOOOM! Liz yelped and wrapped her arms around Kid's waist so she wouldn't fall off.
Kid tore around the streets of Death City at speeds which might make one's face peel off. Liz was worried he'd fall, but Kid manipulated the controls of the bike like a master.
Kid rounded a turn so hard, the bike was at a 2:00 position with the ground. He made a leap off the slanted back of a tow truck, and wove between cars like they were orange cones.
Eventually, Kid pulled to a stop at the side of the road. Not because he was tired of it, he couldn't be more exhilarated. No, he was just prying Liz' hands loose from his waist for a moment; they were cutting off circulation to his legs.
"Kid, how'd you learn to be such a good driver?" Liz gasped, still trying to catch her breath.
"When I was only about 70, father trained me to do everything from tightrope walking to lockpicking to, of course, motorcycle riding. A reaper can't have too many talents." Kid said nonchalantly, straightening one of his cuffs. Then he looked ahead and grinned. "Oh, hey, check it out. Look who it is."
Liz looked, and she grinned also. "They're going to be SO jealous." She said, gripping Kid's waist again as he pulled ahead, to the next red light.
Next to them were Soul and Maka, on Soul's motorcycle, in a similar position to Kid and Liz; Maka's hands around Soul's waist.
To put it bluntly, if Soul's motorcycle was a wheelie, (google "Kirby wheelie") Kid's was a freaking rex wheelie (again, google).
Soul did a double take over at Kid. "Show-off…" he muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Do I detect a note of jealousy?" Kid questioned, grinning.
"Wow, Kid! Your bike makes Soul's look TINY!" Maka grinned.
"Hey! My bike is a good size nonetheless!" Soul protested. Liz had to struggle to hold in her laughter. "Besides," Soul continued, "SPEED is what REALLY matters."
"Oh really?" Kid asked. "Well, first one to the next stoplight wins, then."
"You're on!" Soul said, revving his engine. "VOOOM! VOOOM!"
"Hey Liz." Kid asked as they waited for the light to turn green. "You mentioned Ghost Rider earlier, and I was wondering… does his bike fly?"
"um… I think so…" Liz said, confused by the odd question.
"I thought so." Kid said, grinning.
Ding!
The light had barely turned green when the two bikes leapt forwards.
Kid's bike was fast, but Soul's was actually slightly faster, and sped towards the finish.
Then Liz felt Kid shudder, and saw his hands infusing purple death god energy into the bike's handles. "Um… Kid… what are you-" Liz began to say, but was cut short when she noticed something.
The rumbling of the bike as it flew along the aspalt… was gone. It was as though they were riding on a very noisy feather. Liz looked down, and gasped.
The bike was hovering two feet in the air, and even as she watched, it continued to rise.
"Kid, how are you DOING that?" She questioned in astonishment.
"I'm a god, remember?" Kid said, glancing over his shoulder and smiling. Then he yelled "SO LONG, SUCKERS!" at Soul and Maka as they soared clear over their heads. There was another cry behind them of "MOTHER####ING SHOWOFF!" as Kid and Liz soared into the sky.
Soon, they were seeing Death City as only a bird can. Liz looked down, and could just make out all the ant-people staring up at them, pointing. Then she looked up and grinned. "I can see our house from here!" she shouted over the wind whistling in her ears, pointing to Gallows Manor across town. Then she added, "I always wanted to say that!"
After a few glorious circles around the city's sky (and a few close encounters with some flocks of birds and a remote-control helicopter), Kid turned towards the manor, and began to go downwards.
As Liz looked down at the yard, she saw Patty relaxing in a lawn chair, licking some ice cream. "COMING IN FOR A LANDING!" Liz called down. Patty looked up, raising her sunglasses.
She was so stunned, she didn't even notice when the ice cream hit the grass.
After a few more seconds, the bike slowed to a hover, and touched down on the ground, light as a sheet of paper.
"That… was the most epic thing… that's ever happened to me… in my entire life…" Liz said quietly, stumbling off of the bike. Then she kissed Kid smack on the lips. He blushed. "Let's go again." she said, grinning.
Then she saw a pair of slim arms sneak around Kid's waist, and she looked around, and saw Patty sitting on the rear seat, putting her own arms around Kid's waist. "My turn now?" she asked, giving her cutest face.
Liz laughed. "Ok, fine. Don't go jumping off mid-flight, ok?"
She waved as her loyal sister and beautiful boyfriend flew into Death City's sky.
