All in the Voice
1 Chapter 2
Sorry this took so long. Exam season….shudder…Oh well! Yes, I realize some of these scenarios are physically impossible. But then, so are half of the stunts in the game. Which I don't own, by the way. Oh, and before you ask, I figured because Tokyo Megaplex was already in Tokyo, I'd let Snowdream be near Yokohama.
~*~*~*~
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time could pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight…
~*~*~*~
The crowds were roaring, and Brodi stood poised, analyzing the many signs. There were the 'Brodi 4Evah!'s, and many of them had big red felt hearts. However, a greater population said 'Kaori wa ichiban!' in Japanese, and a lot of people were screaming her name. He gazed over at the young girl-she was deeply involved in her stretching, but her eyes were on Mac. He didn't seem to return the favour.
"You have a large crowd tonight, little one." Kaori looked up in surprise, and flushed.
"I'm not that little, Brodi-san." She smiled somewhat nervously, and he smiled a slow smile.
"I know. But then, when you're as old as I am, everyone looks little." She crossed her arms and pouted, and as he got to his position, he turned around one last time.
"You're not old to me." Her tone was different than any other he had ever used. Still not facing her, he said:
"Kaori-san?"
"Hai Brodi-san?" He paused slightly, his mouth ajar before saying simply:
"Good luck."
She just beamed.
***
The six racers' eyes were only on the lights as they flickered. Kaori dared not look anywhere else. Her mind, however, was far away.
"GO!" Suddenly, it was as though Kaori was in autopilot. She zoomed out of the starting gate, and felt the adrenaline rush push her forward until only Mac was in front of her. Brodi was only a short while behind, but JP was punching wildly, and it was only a matter of time until he was knocked down. And with a sickening crunch, he was. She gasped.
"Daijoubu ka?" He got up, and winced in pain.
"If I had an ego, I'd be embarrassed by that." He smiled, and with a start, she realized that if they didn't move, they'd be lucky to get fourth and fifth.
"Come on!" She grabbed his hand, and the two jumped over the chain fence to reach the ski jump. They were moving fast, and Kaori screamed.
"HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PIROUETTE GRIND!?"
"NO!"
"GOOD!" The end of the jump was near, and the air rushed around them. As the slope ended, she knew she could do it. The announcer screamed out:
"PIROUETTE GRIND!" Brodi nodded, and smiled.
"Talented little one." He said softly to himself, and realized something. Mac and JP had just collided! He practically flew to catch up with Kaori, and the two zoomed into first and second. The crowd went wild.

Kaori collapsed on her hotel bed. What a day! A new voice actor, a place in the finals, and she had pulled off the Pirouette Grind for everyone to see!
And then the phone rang.
"Great job, koneko." She clambered to sit up.
"Otou-san!" She beamed, and sandwiched the phone between her shoulder and ear as she let her pigtails out.
"You were great out there! But , hey, while you're near Yokohama, I was thinking you could come and do the voicing session with that replacement you found." She was shocked—how had he known? She asked as such.
"Well, I didn't know, I kind of just assumed." She sighed in relief.
"Okay then. I'll ask him, to see if he's available."
"Available, eh?" Kaori flushed.
"Otou-san!"
"Gomen! Ja ne, Kaori-chan!" She hung up, and fell asleep immediately, having sweet dreams she would not remember in the morn.
