Speed and Trixie Chapter 3: Meeting the Family, a speed racer fanfic

Chapter 3: Meeting the Family

All through out the next day, Speed found himself thinking of how the night before ended with the most powerful kiss he had ever experiened. He hadn't planned it to be as deep as it turned out to be, especially so soon, but he surely didn't regret it now. Later in the afternoon his fingers easily dialed Trixie's number again because he wanted to spend more time with her. Then the rest of the week they were just about inseperable. And though it might have seemed fast to most, that very weekend Speed brought Trixie to the home he grew up in to meet his family.

Speed's little brother, Spitle, was the first to see them walking up the driveway, which made him express, "Pops! Speedy is holding a girl's hand."

"What?" Pops asked surprised as he turned his head to see. "Speed hasn't brought a girl home in ages."

Sparky rolled his eyes because his best friend, Speed, had been driving him crazy talking about the new girl he had been seeing. "I knew he'd bring this one around sooner or later. I just didn't think it would be this soon."

"Oh...she's the one who flies!" Spritle said with excitement.

Shocked, Sparky said, "He even told you about her?"

Speed's Mom was there too just listening to them. She knew Speed had been seeing someone and now just hoped the girl was descent.

"Good. You're all here," Speed said pleased as he walked into the garage with Trixie by his side. "I want to introduce you all to someone. This is Trixie."

"So this is the pilot," Sparky said holding out his hand to shake Trixie's.

"You must be Sparky," she said making Sparky happy that Speed had spoken about his best friend.

"That's right," he said proudly. "It's nice to meet you."

"You too," Trixie said just before releasing his hand.

"This is my Father," Speed said walking her over to him.

Holding her hand out to shake his, she said, "Hello. It's nice to meet you, Sir."

"You too but call me Pops. Most do," he said politely as he shook her hand.

Spritle was soon tugging on Trixie's pants and then he said, "Can I ride in your helicopter?"

Trixie looked down at the cute, little thing and said, "That's up to your Mom and your...I mean Pops. They know best."

Liking that answer, Mrs. Racer walked up to Trixie and introduced herself. "Hi, Trixie. I'm Speed's Mom, Mom Racer."

"Hi. It's nice to meet you," Trixie said sounding a bit nervous.

Mrs. Racer was won over easily since she thought the last girl Speed attempted to bring to the house hung all over him a bit too much and dressed in a way that didn't leave much to the imagination. Luckily Trixie seemed to have brains and it was a plus that she knew how to dress.

Through out the next month, Racer X, Speed's so-called just friend, kept an eye on Speed and Trixie. He decided that he liked Speed with the young girl. Trixie impressed Racer X with her flying, and she was very loyal to the whole Racer family. She ended up being around the family a lot and because of that, she learned a lot about racing and about the Mach 5.

The extra confidence Speed needed, he got from Trixie. It was a week before his first race when one night he confessed to her that he was extremely nervous. They had been sitting on the Mach 5 just looking up at the stars. Because he was so quiet, Trixie squeezed his hand, which was holding hers and she said, "I'm sure you are anxious."

Shaking his head yes, he then said, "I don't want to disappoint everyone because I guess when it comes right down to it, I'm still inexperienced. I mean I'm lucky that you convinced Pops to let me race at all, and I don't want him wishing he hadn't agreed."

Trixie moved off the car to stand in front of her boyfriend; putting her hands on his shoulders as she gave him a smile. His eyes looked into hers as if waiting for her magic words to help him calm his nerves. "Speed. It's time to start your dream with this race. The only person you have to please is yourself."

"What if I lose badly?"

"I would never let the out come of a race bring you down."

"You'll catch me?" he joked with a smile.

"Yes," she said smiling back. "I'll guide you back on the right road. However, I just know that you won't lose. When you're in that race, think of me telling you that no one can stand in your way and then lay on the gas."

"You really have that much confidence in me?" he asked somewhat shocked, but really liking it.

"You better believe it," she said just before kissing him softly and then wrapping her arms around him to hold him.

Speed hugged her back and then moved to kiss her again just before saying, "You're right. I'm going to do my best."

"That's right," she said leaning her forehead against his.

His hands began to move up and down her small back. "Hey, Trixie. If I'm ever in a race that I need a navigator, I want you to be with me."

Smiling excitedly, she said, "Really?" After seeing him nod his head back 'yes', she said, "I'd be honored."

Within seconds the two were lost in their kisses under the stars above.

Trixie was cheering Speed on at that first race, which was on that tricky track. Wish his born talent, he actually came in second just behind Racer X. Speed was more than just satisfied with that for his first race that Pops had let him enter into. Before the reporters could even get to Speed when he jumped out of the Mach 5, Trixie ran into his open arms as the crowd applauded.

"Oh, Speed. You were terrific," she said in his arms, and he hugged her back even tighter.
