Chapter One: Reunion.
Both drivers ready
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Green ,GO!
Both cars took of down the quarter mile strip. An Orange 67 Chevy Camero with two white stripes flowing from the hood to the wing; in the left lane (lane 1), and a Black 72 dodge charger with silver ghost flames; in the right lane (lane 2). The Charger pulled free of the Camero as they reached the 1/8 mile point with defining sound. At the quarter it had a time of 9.3. The Camero came in tail with a 11.4.
A lone figure stepped from the rail on the race side (lane 1) in hopes to catch the victor. The two cars pulled down the side of the track into their places. One was satisfied with his time strip, and the other wasn't.
"Man, Heero! What did you put in that car? It ran a 10.6 last month," Jake said.
"Large tank a' nitrous," Heero said popping the hood to check everything again, and cool of the engine.
"That's illegal here," Jake said.
"They haven't found it yet have they?" Heero replied.
"Alright I'm not on to rat, but still, next time tell me when you turn that tank on," He said a bit hurt.
"I think I may add a turbo charger, what do you think?" Heero asked fiddling with cooling plug (It's not the easiest one he's had to take off before).
"I think your going to kill your self," Jake said walking up to his car. "I still have yet to name this car. Heero you got any suggestions?"
"That's your choice not mine," Heero said.
"Zero fits yours, but I can't find a hint about thins car to name it," Jake continued.
"Zero," Heero mumbled. The light of the car glowed faintly. Heero found a way to customize the car to out in the Zero system. This made the car inherit Zero's personality if you would call it that.
"Hey, Heero! How ya been?! I could have never guessed that I would find you on a track!" The familiar voice of Duo came threw the wind.
"What do you want?" Heero growled.
"Well nice to see you to! I'm just checking up on my ol' buddy, that's all," Duo said a bit down.
"Hn, whatever," Heero paid hardly any attention.
"So, this is you car? Nice. Mind if I take it the next trip?" Duo asked with puppy eyes. He had a thing for cars.
"No," Heero said shortly.
"Why not buddy? Please?" Duo begged.
"It has the Zero system in it," Heero said in turn.
"W...What! You've got to be kidding me! Never mind, I will never drive it," Duo said as Heero saw his chance.
"You can ride along," Heero said. 'This is to be fun. That baka will never know what hit him.' Heero thought.
"Ok!!!!!" Duo was more than pleased to ride with. So long as he wasn't driving that is.
"Hey, Heero! Seems I need a new belt. Did you bring one from the shop before we left?" Jake said completely unaware of Duo presence.
"Yeah," Heero answered heading to the trailer.
"I'll come with ya bud!" Duo wanted nothing more than a chance to see the inside of the trailer.
The trailer was only for one car. Jake hated driving his on the road, even though Heero thought of a car for no other purpose. He hated to have his in a trailer, but Jake loved it. It had a classic black and white checkered tile floor. The walls were white, and the tool boxes were black. It was very simple.
"Here," Heero handed Jake the new belt still in the wrapper. Jake NEVER waited until it broke to replace it.
One thirty six and One thirty nine. The numbers were called. Heero was 136.
"Get in the car," Heero commanded Duo.
"Why?"
"That's my number, baka," Heero said coldly.
"Oh!"
They still had to wait in line, but apparently he was challenged. The colonies had a different way of racing then Earth. If a challenge was issued your number was called.
Finally it was their turn. The challenger was none other than a white 72 challenger. It had a dragon painted on the side. It would be more of a challenge with a one stage then three, but that's how Heero perered it.
Drivers were ready.
Stage
Green ,GO!
Both cars started at almost the same time. Heero with the preferred left lane had a 0.003 reaction time. The driver in the right lane had a 0.015 reaction time. They came nose to nose at the eighth mile point, and Heero flipped the switch and changed gears. He came out on top. The white car came up on his tail and was just to the door as they hit the finish. Heero just made it with a 9.01 time, at 162 mph, the other with a 9.18 at 160 mph. It was a good race.
"Oh shit! That was fun, can we do it again!? Got to go, got to go, got to go right now!" Duo said and begun singing that song.
They came up at the spot a pot and Heero let Duo out. The other car was coming along side him, and stopped.
"That was a worthy race Heero," the driver said.
"Wufie? Yes it was," Heero replied realizing he raced his old comrade.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!" Duo said coming out, "Its rank in there, next time take me down to the stands. Wufie!?"
"Maxwell," Wufie wasn't a big fan at all of his.
"Wow, it's like a reunion! So you come here often?" Duo asked with glee.
"I heard Yuy was the best racer around, so I had to see for my self, I'll be back next Friday" He said pulling out.
"Wow! Wufie was here to. I'll have to get the others to come next time," Duo began to plot.
"It's getting late, I'm going home. You can stop by or come along if you want," Heero said as Duo jumped in.
"Sure, I didn't bring a car so I'll ride with you. That was fun, we have to this more often. Just don't tell Hildi, she'll have a fit," Duo said. Heero looked at him in question.
The night passed, and Duo went home around 4. They were to meet up at the track the following week end.
