The roar of the engines and smell of the fuel surrounded her as she entered the helicopter. Getting inside, she started it up, letting the soothing feel of the engine roam her mind. She soon took off into the blue, slightly, windy sky over the race, track.

As she looked out she smiled as she saw the familiar white car with a red M marked on the front. A young man, dressed in a racers outfit with a white helmet on, was walking towards the powerful car. As the sound of the helicopter drew closer to him, he looked up and smiled, blowing a kiss to the pilot.

The young, beautiful pilot giggled and waved down to the man. Soon it was time for the race to begin, the gun was shot and the cars took off at lightning speed. The Mach 5 quickly, took the lead. The helicopter flew ahead of the cars just enough to see the roads below, examining anything that may be dangerous to her respected drivers health. Her concentration was broken as a voice came over the radio.

"Trixie, hey, Trix you there?" The voice was that of a young man's it was scratched by the poor service. Trixie quickly took hold of her radio and spoke into it.

"Yeah, Speed I'm here, what's up?" The question was asked quickly yet clearly"

"Not much, just making sure you're there, hey want to give me a report on how I am doing?" It had been more a request than a question, but it was answered either way.

Trixie looked down at him and smiled seeing where he was, " Uh-huh, your doing great, your in the lead, there are only two cars you would want to worry about at this point, # 45 and #67 there pretty much just trying to block each other, but if they ever figured it out, they could catch up pretty easily, also watch the turn after this it's a soft corner you should slow down a bit, and by the way, when have I never not been there, huh? Mr. Speed Racer". Inside his car, Speed smiled at her report, and added spunk glad to see he was doing well, at the warned turn he did as he had been told to do.

After the turn Speed sped up, as he rounded another turn, he saw a cave ahead and contacted Trixie, "hey Trix, baby how long is that tunnel?" He started to slow down as he approached knowing once he entered the two would no longer be able to communicate until he once again emerged.

"Wow, Speed that tunnel goes all the way through the mountain. When you come out you're going to have to go over a Mountain pass, instead of through, it." Trixie took a moment to look at the coarse outline " the tunnel is probably about seven to ten miles long." Speed grimaced remembering Pops had told him about this tunnel but he really hadn't listened. Oh well, it was too late now.

"Hey, Trix, why don't you go over the Mountain and check out the pass, I'll contact you when I get through the tunnel." Trixie's voice came over the radio but the signal was blocked when Speed entered the Tunnel. "Shit, oh well, might as well get going" Speed then took off at full speed, not worrying about Trixie at all.

Outside the Tunnel, Trixie was desperately wishing she could contact Speed. She had heard the emergency buzzer go on, and had found out that she had an oil leak, Speed was talking, and had been about to inform him when she was cut off. "Man, how could I have not noticed this before? I should have checked it out more carefully"

Trixie looked to see how much oil she had left, after checking it she decided to try and get over the Mountain, she had never let Speed down before, and she wasn't about to start now.

Sure that she could make it at liest over the Mountain pass to retrieve the information for Speed, Trixie headed off into that direction. As she flew over the Mt she never noticed a small spark coming from the radio. The spark was heading down to the oil leak, though Trixie was preoccupied with the view, which had momentarily stolen her attention.

Minutes later, she smiled as she reached the Mountain pass, now all she had to do was retrieve the information for speed, after that she promised she would land the helicopter safely.

"Ok, almost done, Speed should be getting close to the exit soon, all I need to do is find the information about the bridge he has to pass and I'm do---" She was cut off by a huge spark that filled the cockpit along with a terrible, burning, smell.

"Oh, my god, it's on fire" with the terrifying realization, Trixie started to panic. She tried as best she could to gain control of the machine, though she failed, and started to loose hope.

As the machine headed down towards the Earth, smoke rose coating the sky with darkness. To save herself, she desperately tried the first thing to come to mind. She took a hold of the radio, which had started shooting out electricity and screamed for help.

"Please if anyone can hear me I need help please someone, oh god I'm going to die, SPEED!!!!" Trixie shut her eyes tightly as she grew closer to the Earth. The sound of a deadly crash filled the air as sirens started up, along with screaming people.

Speed had just exited the tunnel and had been reaching for the radio to call Trixie when her terrified voice filled the cars cockpit "SPEED!!!!" He immediately slammed on the brakes and grabbed for the radio, "Trixie, Trix come in, I mean it, and this isn't funny, what's wrong? What happened? Why aren't you answering? TRIX" Speed kept screaming until the corner of his cobalt blue eyes spotted something he never imagined finding, the trees were burning with red hot flames growing up to the sky, as they surrounded a destroyed helicopter "Oh God NO TRIXIE"

Speed turned the car in the direction of the crash and hurried to the site of the crash, faster than he new was possible. Once he arrived at the site the flames warmed his skin and he had to cover his face to protect himself from the smoke. Officers that pushed them back were holding off people.

Speed vaguely recognized his family in the distance, but chose to ignore them. His main problem now was finding Trixie and getting her out of hear. In the distance Speed saw an ambulance being loaded, Speed hurried over seeing a patch of brown hair flow from the injured person.

An officer, who pushed him back, away from the ambulance, stopped him. "Sir I'm sorry but you're not permitted any further than this." Speed didn't even look at the man, he watched Trixie being loaded into the vehicle with a gas mask on.

" Let me by, she's my girl friend, and I have to see her" before the old man could say anything speed had pushed past him and jumped inside the ambulance by Trixie's side holding her fragile hand, ignoring the paramedics.

Trixie was unconscious and being treated as they rode off the hospital. "Oh god, Trix, you can't leave me, please I need you." Speed pleaded as tears slid down his face. Within fifteen minutes they arrived at the hospital, though Trixie seemed to only be getting worse.

As they entered the hospital they would'nt allow Speed in any further than the waiting room, though they handed him paper's to sign and give information about Trixie. Speed was frantic, and was embarrassed when the question when was her last cycle came up, though he had been even more embarrassed that he knew the answer.

As he handed the paper work to the nurse, she smiled "you and the little Missy must be quite the couple, if you know all this huh darling?" Speed knew she was just mocking him but blushed anyways. Feeling he should protect Trixie's good name, he responded promptly.

"It's not like we've done anything, uh like uh that, it's umm well it's just that she has these uh mood swings then and umm it's just easy to tell, umm so don't uh get the wrong idea." Speed stuttered and blushed a nice crimson red color as the nurse smiled at the younger man's predicament.

"Yep, sure you just keep saying that, I'm gonna give these to the doc, you just wait here ok sweet thing" She turned around and started to leave the room. Until, Speed grabbed her shoulder.

"Trixie is going to be ok, right? I mean nothings going to go wrong right?" Speed's voice was unsure and started to crack, tears were rolling down his face as he wiped them off.

The Nurse gave him a sad smile, " I sure hope so honey, she was in a really bad accident and I'm not sure but were trying everything we can, so you just have to be strong and patient, wait for her, and I'm sure she'll be fine, eventually." The nurse paused for moment thinking on whether to keep talking, "just remember, the trauma received from a crash, can be worse than the injuries." With that said, she turned and scurried off.

Speed slumped into the seat and covered his face with his hands, "I'll always wait for her, and never leave her, no mater what." The statement was meant more for him, then anyone else, as he waited he kept remembering the good times they had shared, and hoped those times would return once more.

It had only been about 17 hours, and was early morning now, Speed was still in the lobby, surrounded by Mom, Pops, Spritle, Racer X and Sparky, who were all thinking about the happy go lucky girl in the operating room.

A doctor came out and everybody were on there feet faster then he could blink an eye. Before the doctor could even introduce himself he was interrupted by Speed.

" How is she? Can I see her? I need to know will she be ok?" Speed asked. He was silenced by the doctor's hand.

"Don't worry son, Miss Trixie will be fine" After this was said the room became filled with unheard joy. "However, because of the surgeries and other reasons she will need to use a wheel chair for a few weeks, until she regains her strength."


Speed smiled happy that she had not lost her use of her legs permanently. "Although, I'm afraid to say that because of the gasoline that entered her eyes on impact her retina's are destroyed, and she is permanently blind" The doctor's words seemed inhumane and untrue.

Speed backed away shaking his head from side to side, no it wasn't possible, she was Trixie, his best Friend and Girl Friend, his partner, his reason for getting up that one hour earlier. How could this happen? How could she possibly be blind? His legs shook and collapsed underneath him, he no longer had the strength to stand, and he no longer had the will to know what the world had in store.
