Hey, this is Kimpisces, sorry about the late update. I'm not so great about the updating and then I couldn't find the chapter that I had typed up so I rewrote it...yeah so sorry and yes, it's a short chappie but I felt bad so I decided just to get 'something' out there before y'all hated me *nods*
Chapter Eight: On your mark, get set, GO!
Johnny sat in the car with Shanna and sighed. She was going on about some weird boring thing about make-up or something of the like. Johnny liked Shanna and all but what guy wanted to hear about his girlfri-, uh date's, make-up? None that he knew of at least. He could handle sitting with them at the store, watching them go through all the outfits they could while trying to find the right one (as long as they modelled for him) but he just couldn't stand make-up speeches.
Then Johnny got an idea about how he could make this ride a little bit more fun. Johnny looked back at the car that Tala and Bryan were riding in and swirved over and slowed down so that he was riding right next to the window that Tala was sitting in (Bryan was driving).
Johnny motioned for Tala to roll down his window and Tala did. "Hey Tala. Wanna race?"
Tala grinned and nodded. "Lets see if Kai's in for it and then we will." Tala smirked evilly. "And if he's not, then we'll just leave him here."
Johnny grinned and nodded. "You want to go ask him?"
Tala nodded and motioned for Bryan to slow down so that he could do what Johnny just did. Johnny then sped up a little bit and pulled over, waiting for Kai and Bryan to do the same.
Kai, Bryan and Tala all climbed out and Johnny did the same. They all walked a little bit away from the girls and stood in a circle. Kai yawned and stretched and then looked over Johnny's head and rolled his eyes.
"They're looking at us, wondering what we're doing." Kai reported quickly and then rubbed his nose. "God I swear they never shut up."
Johnny smirked. "Trust me I know, Shanna is going on and on about her make-up and I'm bored to death. So what do you say we have a little race and make this ride a little be more entertaining for us?"
"The girls will kill us." Bryan commented.
"Then we'll die." Tala shrugged. "I don't care. I'm sick and tired of hearing those girls giggle. Maybe this race will shock them into being silent for a little while. I swear I deserve the peace and quiet. There is nothing I've ever done that would be so bad that I deserve to listen to that for two days straight."
Bryan, Johnny and Kai nodded in agreement. "Alright then." Kai said with a smirk. "How about we all line up and then race until..." Kai paused. "What are we going to race til?"
"There's a turn-off a couple of miles from here. First person passed it wins?" Bryan suggested.
Johnny grinned. "I think I like that."
"Me too." Kai smirked.
"And me three." Tala agreed. "Alright then, we'll line up and go. Who should say go?"
"Tala." Kai said simply. "As long as he's not driving. Basically whoever isn't driving in your guy's car."
Tala nodded. "Okay, cool. We're going to smoke you."
Johnny shook his head and rolled his eyes. "That's what the losers always say before the race starts."
Tala glared and Kai hit him in the shoulder. "Come on, just live with it. It's not going to kill you to have him say that. Besides, it just proves that he's egotistical." Kai grinned. "Plus, I'm the one that's going to win."
Johnny hit Kai in the head and then walked back to his car. Shanna looked over at him curiously. "What's going on?"
Johnny just grinned at her. "Oh nothing, me and the boys were just having conference." Johnny waved at Kai and Bryan. This was going to be the funnest thing they've done all trip.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tala climbed into the front passenger seat and looked back at the two girls who were looking at him with suspicious looks on their face. Tala shrugged, too bad that they'd never know what hit them at the end of this.
Tala looked over at Bryan and grinned, giving him the thumbs up. "Alright, I'll do the five count first."
Bryan nodded and then pulled up along side of Kai and Johnny who were already lined up and ready to go. Bryan waved to them and noticed that everyone but Tala had his window open.
"Ready?" Tala asked quickly before he rolled down his window. Bryan nodded.
"Ready for what?" Kao asked quickly.
"You'll see." Tala motioned to the other guys. "Ready?"
"Yeap." Kai and Johnny yelled back.
"Alright then." Tala began his five count.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai looked over at Tala and rolled his eyes. "He's going to do the damned five count first."
"The what?" Dayaja asked. "And what in the hell are we doing?" Dayaja looked around her and her eyes widened. "We aren't having a race, right?" When Kai didn't respond Dayaja began to freak out. "KAI! We can't have a race! No no no no! Do you know how many people die in a race like this?"
"Then you'd better fasten your seatbelt." Kai said simply. "There's the four."
"NO KAI!"
It was too late, the race was on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All three cars leaped at the same moment, even though Tala had tried to make it Bryan's race. They all headed in a straight line for a while, so it wasn't too bad, just three cars trying to pull passed one another. Then they came upon opposition.
There was a semi-truck headed straight in their direction.
Kai's reaction was to go oh-shit and pull over further to the right side of the road, knowing that since the truck was going on their side, he'd be the least likely to be in trouble.
Johnny's reaction was to go oh-shit and try to go faster so that he could go past Kai and get on that side of the road. Unfortunately Kai wasn't exactly cooperating with that plan since he was picking up speed as he went, not caring what happened to the other drivers, knowing that this would probably be his break-away point.
Bryan and Tala's reaction was to go onto the dirt that was on the left side of the semi-truck. After all, it wasn't like anyone said that they had to use the road the entire time and certainly if they had, they all would have accepted this as the exception.
Dayaja's reaction was to scream and cover her eyes, declaring that she never wanted to die this way.
Shanna's reaction was similar to Dayaja's except she was screaming for Johnny to pull the hell out of the truck's way before he got them both killed.
Kao and Iolana's reactions were to cling to each other and scream. They weren't screaming anything intelligent but they sure in the hell were screaming their heads off.
The semi-truck came closer and closer and closer and Kai and Johnny were racing side by side, Johnny trying to pull up that extra car length so that he could get passed Kai but it never happened and Johnny growled. He was going to get hit if he didn't move now. So at the last possible second Johnny pulled back and behind Kai, watching as the other two cars went speeding down the road and the semi-truck rushed passed.
Johnny hopped out of his car to watch and cheer Tala on, though Tala couldn't hear him. While Shanna hopped out of the car so that she could throw up.
Kai and Bryan could both see the turn-off just a little bit ahead, they just had to get there first. Johnny was already out though none of them knew how and all they could think about right now was getting the hell to the finish line and then they could go back and see what had happened to Johnny.
Kai kept going faster and faster until he slowly pulled an extra two inches in front of Bryan...
and passed the turn-off line.
Then they both looked at each other, nodded and turned around, racing back to where Johnny was waiting for them.
"Who won?" Johnny asked as all three guys jumped out of their cars to go and see how Johnny was.
"I did." Kai said with a grin. "Just like I said I would."
"We would have won." Tala said with a glare. "If we hadn't had to give up momentium to get off the highway because of that damn truck." Bryan nodded.
"Where's the girls?" Kai asked suddenly.
They all turned to meet angry eyes.
"Uh oh." Johnny whispered. "This could be bad."
"We are NOT talking to you and from here on, you can go by yourself." The girls all said in unison and began to walk down the highway.
"They're pissed." Tala commented.
Bryan, Johnny and Kai just nodded.
