Here's the next part…oh yea, the "Twas the Night Before Christmas" reference was when I wrote "…when what to their wondering eyes should appear, but a scantily clad Priya and her two racer friends." (Better known as: "When what to my wonder eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.")

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Letty was about to pop, "What the hell makes you think I would race for him?!" she asked furiously.

Priya kept her even tone, "You're not scared I'll win are you?"

"No I'm actually sure that if we race, you'll be eating the smoke from my tires. I just don't race for shit like that."

"So you're scared I'll win?"

"I'm sorry, I'll say it slowly, since you don't seem to be understanding me. Iffff, yoooooou…ra-ce meee, yooooou wiiiiill beeeee eat-ing myyyyy du-st," Letty replied, more impatient this time.

"Well then why don't you put your money where your mouth is?"

"Because we're not racing for money you idiot, do I have to go back to the damn slow talk again? Cuz your stupidity gets really annoying after awhile," Letty snapped.

"Fine then, you don't have to race me, but then I still win don't I?" Priya replied with a smirk. "I'll still be the queen."

Dom pulled Letty closer to him and pressed his mouth to her ear, "Smoke 'er."

Letty had a smile of her own then, and turned back to face Priya, "Not after this race honey."

"So you've changed your mind? Get ready to have your ass handed to you," Priya remarked.

"You're gonna need more than that piece of shit you have the nerve to call a car," Letty retorted.

Priya laughed, a belligerent laugh, but inside she wasn't sure of what this race's outcome was going to be. But if I win this…

"Are we gonna do this or not?" Mia asked in a bored tone, snapping Priya out of her thoughts.

"We still haven't decided which one of you ladies is going to race Julie, and which one is going to race Paola."

"I'll race," Jen suddenly burst out.

Everyone was a little stunned at her sudden outburst, Jen wasn't the type to do that. Leon pulled Jennifer aside and talked to her quietly, "What the hell are you doing girl?" he asked with large eyes. "Do you have any idea how good these girls have to be in order to be the top team? Have you ever even raced before?"

"Okay in order, I'm going to race, yes I know how good they have to be in order to be the top team, and what makes you think I've never raced before?" she replied with a small smile.

"Girl don't play games with me. That woman said it's "just for fun" but I know better than that. Priya doesn't do anything "just for fun," she does things just to screw people over," Leon replied gravely, stressing all the 'justs' in his sentence.

"Okay fine, I used to race when I lived in New Jersey, but I stopped after I moved here. I'm sure I remember how to, and anyway, it's not like you have much choice. How much experience does Mia have? Or Sandy?"

"Good point…well just talk to Letty, she seems to be the one handling this situation," he said looking over at Letty and Dom, then he added, "Damn my dawg over there looks like he's shittin' a brick. Hurry up."

"Are you done?" Priya said impatiently, referring to Leon and Jennifer.

"Yes, we're done. I'm racing," Jennifer said coldly.

Priya was a little taken aback by Jennifer's tone but she quickly recovered. "Fine, since you're so tough, you can race Julie," she said. "Who else? What about you Mia? Do you wanna give it a try?" she continued snidely.

"No I think I wanna take this," Sandy interrupted.

"Whatever, it's all the same to me," Priya boasted. Priya's tone made Letty want to just pop her in the mouth and make her choke on her teeth.

"Are we gonna do this or not?" Letty said, being impatient again.

"I've never seen someone so anxious to lose a race," Priya snickered.

"I've never seen someone so anxious to lose their teeth," Letty countered.

Priya visibly soured, she turned on her heel and walked towards her car. "Let's race." Was all she said before getting in and shutting the door. All the other racers who had been quiet spectators of the "scene" started talking again and got into their cars, ready to see a…most interesting race.

I am so sorry, I didn't mean to end this chapter there, but I realize I've taken a long time to update so I'm just putting this up so no one gets mad at me…then again, that's inevitable. But whatever. The next chapter will be up later on, I PROMISE! All I gotta do is watch the races in the movie again so I have an accurate idea of what they look like, how they work, and how to describe them. I'm doing this for your benefit so try not to be too mad! LOL. Please review! =)
