Speed and Trixie Chapter 15: Back To Europe, a speed racer fanfic

Chapter 15: Back To Europe

Even though it was unexpected and late planning, Sparky was able to go to Europe with Speed and Trixie. And though the plane ride was long, it was nice and relaxing as well. Later that day when Speed, Trixie and Sparky were about to exit the big jet after it landed in Europe, Gem was watching from a distance waiting to see Speed walk out. She smiled when she saw him and was determined to be with him. Trixie appeared next and Gem said to her self out loud, "Poor girl. I'll take Speed away from her once again."

The first thing the Go Team did after checking into their hotel was to rent a plane so that Trixie could take them over the track to study it. They flew over it for about a half hour.

I can handle this," Speed said confidently while winking at his wife.

"Yes. This should be easy for you," she agreed.

"Well then...let's make sure the Mach 5 got here safely," Sparky said ready to work on it.

"Sounds good," Speed said ready to practice.

While they were getting the Mach 5, Gem was again in the distance watching them. This time she whispered, "Speed, at the party for all of the racers tonight, I'll wear something extra special for you."

Later back in the lobby of the hotel, Sparky realized that he and his friends only had two rooms instead of three. They were sitting on the sofas when he said, "Speed. I guess since the hotel is booked, we can stay in one room and let Trixie have the other."

"I don't think so," Speed said looking at Trixie as he took her hand.

"Oh," Sparky said not about to give them a lecture about their personal life. "Okay."

"No. You don't understand," Speed said with a laugh.

"What do you think?" Trixie asked smiling at her husband.

"We should tell him," Speed said smiling back at his wife.

"Tell me what?" Sparky asked raising an eyebrow at them.

"Well, Sparky. We can tell you ... but then we'll have to kill you." Speed said seriously.

"Speed!" Trixie said hitting him lightly on his arm as she laughed and then he joined in on the laugh.

"Come on, guys! What's going on?" Sparky asked; sounding very aggravated.

"Okay, okay," Speed said taking a deep breath. "Trixie and I are...married."

"What!" Sparky asked very surprised.

"We eloped six weeks ago," Speed said and obviously not regretting it one bit.

"The three days that you two disappeared," Sparky said putting it all together; remembering Pops complaining about where his son could be.

"Right," Trixie answered.

"Am I the first one you told?" Sparky asked.

"Yes," Speed said as if Sparky should feel lucky. "But, we think Racer X may have figured it out."

"Okay. I feel privileged but why the secrecy?" Sparky asked raising his eyebrow once again.

"The press," Trixie answered.

"I couldn't wait," Speed said proudly putting his arm around his wife's shoulders.

Trixie made eyes at Speed and then said to Sparky, "It really has been sort of…fun sneaking around like teenagers, except that our neighbors think we're...

"Living in sin," both Speed and Trixie said at the same time.

Sparky smiled at the two of them, convinced that they were crazy for hiding this from everyone. "You two both think off the wall sometimes."

"Never a boring minute," Speed said smiling mischievously.

"When are you going to tell your family?" Sparky asked feeling kind of badly for them.

"We were going to tell them this weekend but now that we're here, it'll have to wait," Speed said as if it was no big deal.

"And, Sparky. You have to keep it a secret too," Trixie said very seriously. "We don't want Speed's family to think everyone knew before them."

"Okay," Sparky agreed. He then looked at their hands and said, "Y'all don't even have rings."

At the same time, they both pulled out their wedding rings, which were still hanging on their necklaces.

"I should have known that the champion race car driver and the courageous pilot would have it all figured out."

"Oh...there is one more little thing," Speed said.

"What?" Sparky asked almost afraid to find out.

"Two other people do know, but they were sworn to secrecy as well," Speed said getting himself ready to hear Sparky flip out.

"Who?" Sparky asked wondering who it could be.

"Your Aunt and Uncle," Speed said calmly.

"Aunt May and Uncle Jack?" Sparky asked feeling so betrayed.

"Yes," Speedsaid calmly. "We honeymooned in their little beach house."

"That's my Aunt May and Uncle Jack," Sparky said pouting.

"They still are," Speed said smiling.

"I can't believe they knew, and I, your good friend, didn't know," Sparky said pretending to be upset.

"Sparky," Speed said. "You would have shown up on our honeymoon."

"Probably," Sparky said making a sad face, but then he laughed and congratulated them.

That night, Speed and Sparky were downstairs at the party, which was in their hotel, waiting for Trixie. She insisted that they go ahead because she would be a little while getting ready. Speed didn't want to go without her but Trixie practically pushed him out of the door.

At the party, Speed and Sparky were again discussing something to do with racing.

"Don't look now," Sparky said changing the subject.

"What?" Speed asked actually taking Sparky's advice not to look.

"Gem just walked in and she looks goooooooooood."

She was a bit on the sleazy side, with her short, black dress.

"You know I have no interest in her," Speed said not turning his head to look at her.

"Damn!" Sparky said as his eyes popped out of his head. "Forget Gem. Trixie looks absolutely...gorgeous!"

With that, Speed turned around to look. He saw Gem, but his eyes became glued to his wife. In her high heels she stood above Gem. Trixie was also wearing a red dress that clung to her figure, which showed all of her shapely curves. Her lips were as red as her dress and her hair was swept up onto the top of her head. Her sparkling eyes were greener than ever, even from a distance.

"I've never seen Trixie look so...good. What a fox!" Sparky said admiring her.

"Hey. Get your own wife," Speed said walking off as Sparky laughed back.

Speed walked over to her and said, "You look...stunning."

"Thank you," Trixie said sincerely. "You look handsome yourself."

"I'd look better with you on my arm," he said holding his arm out to her.

Trixie took it, and they started walking back over to Sparky as Gem watched in disgust.

"Every guy in this place is looking at you," Speed said shooting mean glares back at them.

"Don't worry," Trixie said. "You're the one I'm leaving with tonight."

Totally turned on, Speed said, "Let's go back to the room now."

Trixie only laughed lightly as they kept walking towards Sparky.

"Nice dress," Sparky said smiling.

"I don't remember seeing it before," Speed said with one hand on her waist as he looked at it.

"It was the funniest thing," Trixie said. "It was a present delivered to the room while you and Sparky were working on the car earlier. I still can't believe it fits."

"A present?" Speed asked. "From who?"

"Your mother," Trixie said looking at Speed.

"My mom?" Speed asked surprised.

"Way to go Mom Racer," Sparky said as Speed was going into deep thought.

It all came back to Speed. He remembered a somewhat argument he had with his mother after the first trip to Europe. Mom Racer had been so upset that Trixie wasn't around anymore and that she didn't know why.

"I now understand what happened to Trixie?" Mom Racer had said one day while cooking in the kitchen.

"Mom. She obviously wants nothing to do with me so I don't want to talk about it," Speed said sitting at the kitchen table.

Mom Racer stopped cooking and threw a racing magazine onto the table by her son. In the picture Gem had her arm around Speed as if he was hers. "Anyone can see what happened, Speed."

"I was just talking to that girl," Speed said tossing the magazine on to the floor.

"Look, Speed. You're my son and I love you so much that it hurts. It's just that I became very close to Trixie. I knew she was crazy about you and I thought you felt the same way about her. She was smart, independent and perfect for you with her non-fear."

"I know, I know," Speed said aggravated. "I said I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"Well," his mother said upset. "It just makes me mad that Gem was dressed like a princess trying to win you over and poor Trixie was dressed in the Go Team clothes like, like...she was nothing special to you." Frustrated over finally knowing why Trixie disappeared, she left the room.

"What just happened?" Speed whispered to himself and then the magazine he had thrown onto the floor caught his eye.

Leaing over, he picked it up and looked at it again. His heart fell as his eyes found Trixie in the background holding her helmet with a loss look on her face as she watched him and Gem together.

Coming back to reality, Speed looked at his wife remembering that his mother wasn't too happy about this weekend trip. Now he knew Mom Racer was worried that Gem would cause a problem between Trixie and him. It was obvious to him that his mother sent the dress so Trixie could look extra good.

"Speed...Speed," Trixie said. "Your eyes are on me but I think that you're in another world."

"No...I was just thinking about how beautiful you are…inside and out."

"Oh, Speed," Trixie said very flattered.

"Okay you two. I'm standing right here," Sparky said. "So, Speed. Why'd Mom get Trixie the dress?"

"Because she likes Trixie...a lot," Speed said smiling at his wife.

"It was so sweet," Trixie said smiling back. "I didn't tell you about the dress being delivered because I wanted to surprise you."

"That you did," Speed said letting his eyes admire her.

"Yeah," Sparky added, "And every guy in this place as well."

"Yeah...well, she's mine," Speed said almost sounding possessive for the first time.

Trixie raised an eyebrow at Speed and said while pulling on the collar of his jacket, "Then you are all mine."

"Like you didn't know," Speed said putting his arm around her waist.

"Calm down you two," Sparky said. "No one here knows that you are married but most of them do know that you are together."

Through out the night, Speed noticed the other racers staring at Trixie quite often. Some how he controlled himself from telling them that she was his wife. It helped that every time she looked at him her eyes lit up saying she was more than happy to be with him.

Later on while Trixie was talking to some of the other driver's girlfriends and wives, Racer X walked up to Speed. "Glad you made it. I was wondering if you'd show up."

"Trixie talked me into coming," Speed said watching her.

"Really," Racer X said not surprised since Trixie always put Speed first. "You are lucky."

"I know," Speed said very seriously as he looked at Racer X. "I should thank you for telling me what a jerk I was to her the last time I was here in Europe."

The Masked Racer just smiled before excusing himself.

Gem was on the other side of the room waiting for Speed to go into the men's rest room. Besides the switch for the lights in the restroom, there was one also in the hall. Gem got her wish when Speed started to head there. She didn't waste any time when the bathroom door closed behind Speed, to turn off the lights from the hall switch.

The bathroom became pitch black because of no windows. Before Speed even had time to feel the wall to flip the switch back on, Gem quickly let herself in and closed the door.

In the darkness, she bumped into what she wanted as planned. "I've got you now all to myself," she said wrapping her arms around him.

He tried to pull away at first but when her lips touched his, he couldn't. He didn't move at all as she began kissing him. Without being able to control himself, his arms moved up and around her as he kissed her back; loving the feeling.

It would have been a longer kiss but then suddenly the lights were switched back on.

Speed smiled big with his hand still on the switch when he saw Sparky and Gem embraced in a major kiss. Gem opened her eyes and looked shocked. All she could say was, "I...I...thought you were..."

"Wow...That was great," Sparky said in la la land as he pulled his arms from around Gem.

Embarrassed, Gem quickly left the rest room. Too bad for her that she hadn't noticed that Sparky had gone into the bathroom before Speed.

She was still very upset when something red caught her eye. "Trixie," she said making Trixie turn around to her.

"Hello, Gem," Trixie said surprised that she was talking to her.

"You think that you still have Speed. Don't you?"

Trixie smiled and being classy she stayed calm as she said, "I know who doesn't have Speed."

With that, Gem stormed away from Trixie.

Mrs. Speed Racer just laughed under her breath as she began to talk to the other women once again.

When the first slow song of the evening played over the speakers, Speed walked up behind his wife and put his hands on her waist. "Excuse me ladies, but I'm going to steal my...uhm, Trixie away for a dance."

Trixie gladly walked with her husband onto the dance floor.

After he took her into his arms, she said with a smile, "You almost slipped up."

"I caught myself," he said with a smile.

"Yes. You did," Trixie said as he began to stare back at her so seriously. "Speed are you okay?"

"God. You are so beautiful."

Trixie blushed and said, "Thanks, but I've never been the popular, beauty queen type."

"That's what's so special about you. You're not a vain person and you really don't know that you could have any guy you want in this room right now."

"Yeah, right. But anyway, I only want you," she said sincerely.

With that, Speed pulled her even closer. She was truly his and he loved that.

They danced while listening to the beautiful lyrics of the love song. During this very close dance they forgot where they were, which always seemed to be easy for them, until someone tapped Trixie on the shoulder and said, "May I cut in?"

Both Speed and Trixie looked to see Gem standing there expecting to dance with Mr. Racer.

Before Trixie could say anything, Speed tightened his arm around his wife's waist and said, "I'm sorry, Gem, but I can't pull myself away from Trixie."

Before Gem could get too embarrassed, Racer X asked her to dance.

Trixie kissed Speeds lips softly a couple of times because she knew he meant it. When the song was over Speed held her in his arms a little longer and whispered in her ear, "I love you."

"I love you too," she whispered back.

Through out the rest of the night at the party, Trixie caught Gem staring at her a few times but blew it off. She really blew it off when Speed insisted they go back to their room, and in a flash they were gone.

They were in the elevator when Speed wrapped his arms around her once again and said jokingly, "This elevator better move fast." He began kissing Trixie's soft lips and then made his way down to her neck.

"Speed," she whispered as he continued to kiss her.

"What?" he whispered between kisses. He just knew she was going to tell him to control himself till they got to their room.

"Why won't this elevator go faster?" she asked frustrated because she had been carried away as well.

With that, Speed had to kiss her lips again.

A few seconds later and unknown to them, the doors to the elevator opened. Trixie's hands were in Speed's hair while Speed had her in his arms practically pinned against the wall of the elevator as they continued to kiss. Rusty, the driver who wanted to get onto the elevator, finally said, "Excuse me."

Abruptly the kissing stopped as Trixie buried her face in Speed's shoulder to hide from embarrassment.

"Hello Speed, Trixie," Rusty said smiling.

"Rusty," Speed answered; his voice hoarse.

Trixie finally just bowed her head to acknowledge the man.

Luckily, Speed and Trixie's floor was next so they could get off as Rusty fought hard to hold in his laugh at catching them.

The two love birds finally made it to their room where they shared another beautiful, passionate night together.
