I'm a fan of the Beetle so I used it in this fic. I'm happy I got two reviews and yes flames are considered reviews so flame away. I don't own the Initial D characters.

The Dark Horizons were enjoying a break, after successfully racing in Gunma. Aki was having a drink when she got a page from Masashi, and headed strait over to his shop. After she finished her drink of course. Getting out, he met her.

"Alright what's the trouble this time."

"Why do you think I'm always in trouble."

"Ah. I don't know let's take a look at what my pager said." She takes it off her belt. "Let's see "Aki HELP!" and it has your signature."

"Caught me, lying not my strong point."

//Damn strait, old men shouldn't lie// "It's alright, no worries."

"Let me show you why I need your help." Masashi lead her into one of his hangers and turned on the light.

//Woo ho it's an old bug, well what a surprise//

"Like it a rich customer wanted it fix, so it's race worthy."

Aki got one eyebrow raised before doubling over in laughter. She was laughing really hard.

"Aki, not nice. Anyway he got the idea off a bug commercial."

"So that why your going to paint it red with black spots and call it the "Lady Bug."

"No, I need you to test drive it for me."

"Sure why not." Masashi couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not. //You know I could have fun with this. Bet I'll have even more fun with it on Akagi// A plan was forming.

The Takahashi's were driving down Akagi in Ryosuke's car. "Hey aniki, ever notice how in the meetings, we start with something new and how we end up talking about the Dark Horizons."

"It is strange Keisuke, but then again that's all your minds ever on these days."

"Aniki that hurt." He noticed lights behind them. "Hey." Looking at Ryosuke, he pointed behind them. "There's a car tailgating us." Ryosuke looked back through the rearview mirror, and saw the car give indication it wanted to pass. So he let it.

"Aniki you're a wimp. How can you let." He stopped as he saw the car that went pass. "A Beetle go past us."

"Keisuke it's an old model, not very road worthy."

Good excuse but Keisuke didn't buy it. When the Beetle in front of them flashed it's lights and stuck a hand out the window before racing away, got Keisuke pissed. Keisuke sputtering "He fingered us, the nerve.... aniki your not going to let him get away with this are you."

"Keisuke it's an old Beetle, probably part of someone's collection."

"Yeah, if it belong to a pro racer, or how else do you explain its speed in pulling away."

//Ok good point// Ryosuke chased after it, finally catching up but could not pass it. //That was not normal//

The driver waved goodbye.

"Wow this is worse then being beaten by Takumi ten times."

In the bug Aki was having a good laugh at the Takahashi's expense.
