"This is it. Tomorrow's the race." Sage smiled.

"I just can't believe it's going to be my birthday tomorrow." Racer Z said looking up from her car. They were waiting for Racer X to finish up his practice lap.

"Don't do anything that I would do, okay?" Sage asked kissing her.

"Get a room."

"Leave us a lone, Racer Y." Sage laughed, though slightly sad. He and Mollie really had very little time for each other. Both knew Rex wasn't entirely used to her actually having a boyfriend, so they don't do much to make him worry.

"Calm down. I just have something for you guys that's all." Racer Y smiled handing them a letter.

"Thanks." Racer Z smiled as Racer Y left.

"Later." Racer Y and Sage said at the same time. Racer X soon came in and they handed the letter to him to read.

"It's a message from the agency. They want to see one of us tonight, it's nothing bad by the looks of it." Racer X smiled.

"Please don't send Sage. He'll forget some of the important facts." Racer Z laughed.

"Love you too." Sage smiled. She stuck her tongue out and laughed.

"Don't worry, I was actually going to go up there today." Racer X said. Racer Z and Sage looked at each other and smiled. Racer X then said, "Don't get yourselves into any trouble tonight."

"That's Spritle, not me!" Racer Z looked up.

"When you two are together you are just like him, sis." Racer X laughed.

"We won't do anything TOO bad." Sage smiled.

As Racer X left, Mollie and Erik were left alone. At first they were doing some stuff to help out then they got bored.

"What do you want to do?" Mollie asked.

"Prank phone call?" Erik asked.

"Like who?" Mollie asked.

"Toby."

"He has caller I.D. remember?"

"Forgot 'bout that."

"Obviously." Mollie smiled.

Erik had an idea as he got up to go into Mollie's room. She followed and stood next to her bed waiting to see what he was doing. His back was towards her so she couldn't see what he was doing. Next thing she knew he turned around with a Halloween mask on. It was one of the only things that she was scared of.

"You still have that?" Mollie laughed, even though she was scared.

"I forgot that I had it in my backpack." Erik laughed coming towards her.

"Don't you dare come closer with that." Mollie said backing up. She backed into her bed and fell.

"Sorry." he said giving her his hand and helped her up.

He took the mask off and they went into the living room to watch a movie that they wanted to watch. By the time Rex got home he found the two asleep on the couch and the movie still going on.

'I'll tell them tomorrow.' he thought as he went to bed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rex came into the kitchen and was surprised to find Mollie cooking breakfast.

"When did you learn how to cook?" Rex asked.

"Momtaught me remember?" Mollie asked.

"Yes I do actually." Rex smiled remembering when she learned how to make spaghetti.

"You know her spaghetti has gotten better." Erik said joining them.

"That's good." Rex laughed.

"It wasn't that bad." Mollie smiled as Rex and Erik laughed.

"Well I found out what they wanted to talk to us about." Rex said getting serious for a moment.

"What?" Mollie asked as she put the plates in front of them. When she was done cleaning up the pan that was left, she sat down.

"Remember when you asked if you could tell the family what was going on?" Rex asked and Mollie nodded. "Well they said that it was about time the family knew about it just incase if something happens to us."

"You mean it?" Erik and Mollie asked in shock.

"Yes. We can tell all them after the race." Rex smiled.

"I could see my family again?" Erik asked.

"If you want you can even live there again." Rex said.

"Score!" Erik smiled and Mollie laughed.

"We have to go in a couple of minutes." Rex said as they finished.

The race soon started and Racer X and Z were trying to get up front. Soon Racer X was in second, but Racer Z was still in the middle of the field. Even with the pit stop, she till didn't gain any track positions, but lost some instead.

"Big One! Go to the bottom!" yelled her spotter in her radio.

She followed the directions. Unfortunately the two racers in front of her, who were side by side, did the same and crashed right in front her. She had no where to go and was involved. She went into the wall as she tried to save the car. Next she felt someone hit her side of the car as she went into the grass where she slowed to a stop.

She got out of the car as fast as she could as some one else helped her get out. Racer Z looked up to see Ice next to her. Ice had helped her get out. She looked around to see Speed coming close by to see if she was okay.

"Thanks Ice." Racer Z mumbled.

"" Ice didn't say any thing.

"You two okay?" Speed asked, "Sorry for hitting you Racer Z"

"I'm fine. It's okay."

"You sure. You don't look too good."

"I'm just in shock of what happened." Racer Z said trying to get up.

Ice had already went into the ambulance as another came over to pick up Speed and her. As she got up she lifted her left leg up after some pain.

"I think I sprained my ankle. On the same leg too." she laughed.

"I'll help." Speed said grabbing her left arm and helped her get into the ambulance.

"Is Mollie alright?" Race X and Racer Y asked through their radio.

"She's going to the care unit right now." Sage's voice came over the radios.

"Could you check on her?" Racer X asked.

"Speed's with her and Mom Racer is going to see how they are doing. I'll tell ya more when I can." Sage replied.

"Thanks."

"Thank you Speed." Racer Z said coming out of the care unit.

"Is your leg okay?" he asked as they walked over to the garage area. Luckily they were next to each other and close to the hospital unit.

"It's okay. It's just bruised that's all." Racer Z smiled.

"Speed! You're okay!" Mom Racer and Trixie yelled running over.

Trixie kissed him as well as Mom. Racer Z blushed as she left to see Sage.

"Can I talk to Rex?" Racer Z asked.

"Yeah. The race is on a Red flag at the moment. So we have a bit of time." Sage smiled as he gave her his head set for a minute.

"Racer X?" Racer Z asked.

"Yeah sis?" Racer X asked. He could tell she was scared to death by what happened. She was handling it very well though.

"I'm okay. I just have a bruise on my ankle." Mollie asked.

"You're sure." he asked.

"I'm fine. I'll try better next time." she said trying to convince herself more than him.

"You'll do just fine. You sure you're okay?" Racer X asked.

"No. I'm scared to death actually." she said just loud enough for Sage and him to hear.

"It's okay. I was on the other side of the track and saw a bit of it. It wasn't as bad as my crash at all."

"Still"

"We'll talk later. The race is staring up. Stay there. Talk to Speed about it, he'll have some helpful stuff. I'll try to win this one for you."

"Thanks." She said handing Sage his head set.

"I'm going to talk to Speed." Racer Z said.

"Later." Sage said. He gave her a small kiss and hugged her to stop her from shaking. She calmed down as he covered the mouthpiece and said, "Love ya."

"Me too." Racer Z smiled as she went next door.

To her surprise Pops wasn't mad at Speed when she came in. Pops was telling him to be careful next time and went to fix up the Mach 5.

"You okay, kid?" Pops asked as he finally noticed her.

"Yyes ssir." she said shaking again.

"First crashes are a shocker, but they happen." Pops said putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. She looked up and smiled. She wanted to hug him, but didn't.

"I know. I just" Racer Z trailed off.

"I remember mine. It was exactly like this one actually." Speed laughed. "They make this sport kind of interesting if you ask me."

"I know. Thank you all." Racer Z smiled.

"You know. Your smile is like my daughter's." Mom Racer commented as she came in. She had two cups in her hands.

"Thanks Mom." Speed said taking one.

"Here you go dear." Mom said handing Racer Z a cup, "It's hot chocolate."

"Are you sure?" Racer Z asked.

"We were going to check up on you and give that to you actually." Pops said.

"Thank you." Racer Z said taking the drink.

"Sit." Mom said as she helped Racer Z to a seat. An hour later Sage came in.

"Racer X won with Racer Y in second and Tommy in third." Sage said sitting next to Racer Z.

"He kept his promise. He won it for me." she whispered to Sage.

"I hope they are okay." Mom said, "She would've been happy that he won on her birthday."

"She's okay, honey. We'll find them soon." Pops replied.

"Sooner than you think." Racer X said.

"What do you mean, Racer X?" Pops asked.

"Can we go into the trailer?" he asked.

"Sure." Pops said as they all headed to the trailer.

"What did you mean?" Pops asked.

Racer X took off his mask.

"Rex!" Mom yelled hugging her eldest son.

"I'm sorry. I had to do this when I was younger. I'm sorry." Rex said as she stopped.

"Son." Pops said.

"Dad?" Rex asked.

"Welcome back. You did prove me wrong didn't you?" Pops asked pulling his son into a bear hug.

"What about?" Mom asked.

"I'm here Mom." Racer Z said taking her mask off.

"You're okay!" Mom cried hugging her daughter, "I'm so happy you're alive."

"Rex took care of me. That's why I went. I'm so sorry Mom." She cried hugging Mom Racer.

"You know how worried we were about you?" Pops asked.

"I'm sorry." Mollie said looking down.

Pops too hugged her. "We'll just say that the crash was good punishment."

"Thanks."

"You must be Erik then." Trixie asked. She had been in the trailer during this the whole time.

"Yep."

"Happy Birthday!" Sparky laughed.

"I forgot again." Mollie smiled sheepishly.

"That's twice this year." Rex laughed, "Where's Speed?"

"He didn't want to hear you tell us the news." Sparky said.

"We should tell him." Rex said to Mollie.

"You first. I'll come out in a minute." Mollie smiled. He nodded and went out.

"You should go too." Pops said.

"Yeah but he needs to explain this to him first." Mollie replied.

"I'm soo glad my baby girl is back." Mom said hugging her again, "Especially on her birthday!"

"I missed you all."

"So what is Racer X, Sage, and Racer Z anyways?" Pops asked.

Mollie and Erik explained to them what they are doing.

"We don't know anything else at the moment though." Erik said.

"I think it's safe for me to go out." Mollie said. Just then there was a nock on the door.

"Erik. I think there's some one who wants to tell ya something." Mollie said trying not to laugh.

"Who isKris!" Erik said as he saw his brother. Next to him was his mother. They came in as Rex and Speed still talked. They were to far away to be heard and Speed was a bit audible. Mollie knew to stay back a bit longer.

"Ohyou're okay." his mom said.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to go with Mollie and I wanted to tell ya soo much though. I was safe though. Rex protected the both of us."

"Erik saved me too." Mollie said apologetically. She was trying to help keep him out of trouble.

"I'm so happy you're alive." Kris smiled. He looked at Mollie and smiled. He knew she loved to be around him.

"Will I be punished?" Erik asked.

"No. Not at all." Erik's Mom smiled.

"Thanks." Erik smiled, "Let's go see if Speed's done shouting."

"Sure. Then we'll see Toby again." Mollie smiled. She went out side as Rex and Speed came over. Rex went in to talk to the others while Speed and Mollie talked.

"I'm really sorry Speed. I did want to-"

"You're okay which is the main thing." Speed said hugging her.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you worry. My life went down hill when Rex left and then he came back. I felt bad, but-"

"He explained why you went with him. I understand perfectly. Don't worry. I was just worried. Even though we weren't as close as you and Rex were and you're still my little sister." Speed smiled.

"Thanks." Mollie smiled back hugging him.

"So you're seventeen now right?" Speed asked.

"Yeah I am." Mollie laughed.

"This is going to be interesting."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see." Speed ruffled her hair as they went inside.

"So you want to celebrate tomorrow?" Sparky asked Mollie as she came in.

"Are you trying to confuse me again? If you are it's working." Mollie said.

"You're birthday. We're having it tomorrow since the race was today." Mom said.

"Oh okay." Mollie smiled. Mollie and Erik decided to walk to Racer X's home that night and discuss what to do next tomorrow.

"Who would have thought that we would get to see them again?" Erik asked putting his arm around her.

"What was Rex talking about with you guys. He won't tell me." Mollie asked looking at him.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"What is it?"

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"Erik, please tell me."

"It's a surprise."

"Meanie."

"Hey! I would tell ya but I promised not to."

"Fine."

"Where do you want to go tonight?"

"What?"

"Rex said we can go anywhere tonight. Where would ya like to go?"

"How 'bout the"

"Where?"

"I don't know actually." Mollie said looking down.

"What's wrong?" Erik asked looking down.

"It's weird. I should be happy that we got to tell our family, but what does that mean about the agency? Are we out of it?"

"Don't worry. We'll still be in. It's justCome one where do ya want to go." Erik said looking at her. He grabbed her hand and they started heading to the park up the street.

"It's just what?" Mollie asked.

"Tomorrow." Erik said kissing her.

Mollie looked at him smiling, "Fine, but you'll tell me tomorrow promise?"

"Promise." Erik smiled as they hung out at the park during the night.
