One Week Later.....
Wakka gave the nine tickets to the clerk at the airport.
"Thank you sir, you all may go." said the clerk.
"Yay!" said Rikku. The whole gang left the waiting room and entered the long hallway to the plane.
"Wow, this is one long hallway. I'm not in the mood for a marathon..." said Rikku.
"Hush, Rikku." said Gippal. Rikku stuck her tongue out at him when he turned his face. They began to walk down the hallway.
"Anyway, that was one nice vacation..." said Lulu.
"Yeah, my favorite part was when we went to Hurricane Harbor." said Rikku.
"I loved the shooting we did at the rifle arena." said Gippal.
"Ya sure, the best part was going to the Blitzball tournament." said Wakka.
"I liked the black magic museum." said Lulu.
"I visited my uncle. He lived here." said Yuna.
"I still can't believe that legend let me race him..." said Tidus with a dreamy look.
"What!? What legend? And when did you race?" asked Wakka with a curious look. Tidus glared at him.
"Why do you care?" asked Tidus.
"Tell me! There's a racing superstar here?" asked Wakka. Tidus stared at him until he decided to talk.
"Yeah, I raced with Takahashi Ryosuke." said Tidus. Wakka's eyes widened and looked like they would burst.
"WHAT!!!!??? Did you say Takahashi Ryosuke!?" yelled Wakka.
"Whoa, chill Wakka." said Tidus.
"What the fuck are you talking about!? He's a legend! How could I not be excited! AND HOW DID U RACE HIM!!!" yelled Wakka.
"This may sound like a lie, but I'll tell you." said Tidus.
------------Earlier------------
Tidus went out into his Eclipse. He opened the door and stepped in and started the car.
"I need to go for a drive." said Tidus. He burned out and sped out the parking lot. Tidus sped at 100 MPH up a large mountain.
"This is one hell of a mountain. I could pretty much have a nice race here. Maybe I should practice my technique here for a while. I have nothing better to do." thought Tidus. He sped up to 150 MPH to the top of the mountain.
"No cops...nice." said Tidus as he examined the scenery. Tidus turned across the many consecutive tight turns.
"This is a diffcult course." said Tidus. He continued up the pathway until he reached the top. Tidus sped up and used his handbrake to make a tight and fast u-turn.
"Time for some drift..." thought Tidus. He checked his seatbelt, and adjusted his seat. He took a heavy breath.
"GO!" thought Tidus. He stepped on the gas pedal and shifted to the second gear. He sped up from 30, to 50, to 80, and to 100 MPH on the straightaway. He kept speeding up until he saw the first turn. He immediately shifted to third, then to second, and then drifted across the corner. The Eclipse skidded across the corner infalliably.
"Perfect!" thought Tidus. He flawlessly skidded across the corner and sped up again on the next straightaway. As Tidus was speeding, a white FC vroomed up behind him. It used its power to catch up to Tidus, right behind his back.
"An FC, eh? I could use a sparring partner." said Tidus. Accepting the challenge, Tidus sped up even more, to 160 MPH on the straightaway. As the next right turn corner was coming up, Tidus immediately slowed down and drifted across the corner.
"Wow, he's pulling some nice drifting." thought Tidus as he was checking his rear mirror. The FC drifted even better than Tidus, and was drifting outward, away from the corner. Something Tidus could never do currently. Tidus sped up again, still in lead, drifted across the next corner. But this time, the FC took the outside lane.
"What makes you think you can pass me from the outside..." thought Tidus. Tidus drifted quite well across the inside of the corner, but the FC used some marvelous skill and drifted past Tidus from the outside.
"What the....fuck!?" thought Tidus with a tense look. The FC easily passed Tidus from the outside and took the lead. Once on the straightaway, Tidus used his power to get right behind the FC, going at 190 MPH. Tidus noticed the next corner was closer than he thought.
"Crap!!! Gotta slow down!!" thought Tidus. He immediately pushed the brake very hard, causing the car to move strangely. Tidus attempted to drift, but drifted horribly, and failed halfway through. Tidus spun out in the middle of the corner, watching the FC vroom past. The Eclipse came to a complete halt.
"I won't let him get away with this!" thought Tidus. Tidus immediately pushed the gas pedal and turned his steering wheel back to the road. He immediately sped up and drifted across three different corners flawlessly, desperately trying to catch up.
"Ah hah!" said Tidus as he saw the FC. The FC was going slower than before.
"I bet he's wetting his pants now that I'm back. He'll speed up any minute now." thought Tidus. He waited and waited but the FC didn't speed up. It kept driving normally at 60 MPH.
"You trying to mock me by going slow!? I'll show you!" yelled Tidus. Tidus stepped on the gas pedal, trying to pass him, but the corner already came, causing Tidus to quickly change his mind.
"Shit!" thought Tidus. He quickly shifted gears, and once again, made the same mistake of going too fast before a corner. Tidus attempted the drift and failed once again. He was still angry, as he spun out, watching the FC drift flawlessly across the corner at only 70 MPH.
"Fuck, I'm an amateur compared to him. Who is this guy? He's probably as good as my old man."Tidus thought. As if reading his mind, the FC reversed right next to Tidus' Eclipse. There was a long moment of silence before Tidus decided to emerge from his car. Soon after, a man wearing a blue undershirt, white suit, white suit pants, and luxery shoes stepped out. He was also wearing sunglasses, and a shiny Relic watch. He had dark blue hair.
"Haven't I seen this guy before?" thought Tidus as he stared at him.
"Hey, what's your name?" asked the man.
"Tidus Sakegura, you?" asked Tidus. The man sighed and looked at Tidus.
"Ryousuke Takahashi..." said the man. Tidus stared blank-eyed at him. Then Tidus' eyes grew wide.
"Ryousuke...Takahashi?? The racing legend all over Japan!!!???" thought Tidus.
"Yes, I am the legend. And as you might have seen in magazines, this is my white FC, or RX-7." said Ryousuke.
"Are you serious!? You're THE legend!? No wonder I couldn't get anywhere near you..." said Tidus.
"You were doing fine, but don't get cocky in a race." said Ryousuke. This angered Tidus a little.
"What are you talking about, cocky...I'm not cocky! I'm one of the best racers in Japan!" yelled Tidus.
"Never heard of you..." said Ryousuke. Tidus' hands curled into a fist.
"I'm not famous, but I will be someday. I will be the most famous warrior AND racer. And I'll prove it to you someday..." said Tidus.
"I'm not saying I'm invincible. There are better people than me..." said Ryosuuke as he turned around and looked up at the sky.
"Better...than you?" asked Tidus.
"Not currently, but there will be. Listen...Tidus...a new generation will take over my generation." said Ryousuke.
"Generation?" asked Tidus.
"Someday, I will be defeated too, and a new generation will take over. No one lives forever. This applies to racing, women, money, and life." said Ryousuke.
"Why are you giving me a lecture?" asked Tidus. Ryousuke turned his head toward him.
"Because you will grow strong." said Ryousuke. Tidus simply stared blankly at him, clueless.
"Hope we race again sometime." said Ryousuke. He got back into his RX-7 and drove off down the mountain. Tidus stared at his car leaving as the wind blew crazily on him.
"I will grow strong...." thought Tidus as he still stared at the path Ryousuke took. Tidus' expression changed immediately and he became excited.
"That's right. Tidus Sakegura, will be known! I won't give up at all, and I'll surpass you, Ryousuke. Also, I will become so strong, defeat Yolga and make my name up in lights. You'll see..." said Tidus with a very excited look.
----------Back In Present---------
Everyone simply stared at Tidus when he finished his story.
"I wish I was that lucky." said Wakka with a dissappointed look.
"Even if he did race you there's no way you'd win if I had no chance." said Tidus.
"Remember Tidus, don't forget you can get good at racing all you want, but don't forget you're still in SumWaRs. You need to be strong too." said Gippal. Tidus nodded at his comment. They made it to the seats in the airport and sat down.
"This'll be one ride." said Lulu. They all nodded and sat back in their seats.

Author's Notes:
Hey guys, its me hassan. took me some major time to do this. I tried to make this long. Most of you shold like this, but if you arent into racing, you won't but there is a real abstract meaning to this big race. I'm not just throwing random things. Also if you watch initial d is, you'll know who Takahashi Ryousuke is. If you don't watch anime, you're probably wondering why Tidus said Takahashi Ryousuke instead of Ryousuke Takahashi. In Initial D anime they say Takahashi Ryousuke, or Fujiwara Takumi. For some reason they say the last name first. Like in Full moon wo sagashite they say Kouyama Mitsuki. It's strange, but its still kool. Read and Review please.
