A/N: Hi! Kawaii Petal-chan here! Sorry for not updating, I've been busy with my Megaman NT Warrior story! Sorry for the delay! Please, please review! Please!
Disclaimer: I don't own Speed Racer, but Victory Atalanta Racer and Jamie Trotter-Wilkes are my own characters. (And some other charaters later on, too! )

Hi! It's Victory again! Last night I wanted to write more, but Mom told me on no uncertain terms to 'Get to bed!' and I had to listen, you know how Moms are . . . Today was actually good, because Rex left at about 11:00 to go to a friend's house, and came back about supper time, so I had all day to putter around and feel like an only child. That was great! Now if only I can get him to do that when school starts . . .
Jamie Trotter-Wilkes came over today. She's my best friend, and really cool. Dad was out teaching people how to drive, and and after work, he was grocery shopping for Mom, so the two of us got to spend practically the whole day uninterrupted by others. Mom was working on a story for the newspaper, you see. Jamie and I talked for a while, then 'borrowed' Rex's SNES to play some games. That's what I like about Jamie, she plays the car racing games with me. And she's GOOD! I prefer playing agains her, when I have a chance to win, than against Dad, because he almost ALWAYS wins! I can't believe it! He's a Chemestry teacher! He's not supposed to be good at video games!
Everyone, usually grown-ups, constantly asks Rex and me about what we want to do when we grow up. Rex wants to be a lawyer or an accountant or something boring like that. I can't belive him! How could he ENJOY spending his life in an office building when there are so many awesomely cool jobs out there, just waiting to be had! He's so odd. I know exactly what I want to be. I wanna be a RACE CAR DRIVER! Daddy says it's a good dream, and that I should never give up on it, because it just might come true. I believe him. He knows a lot.
Rex definitely doesn't want to drive race cars. He doesn't even like racing! He constantly complains because Dad likes racing video games, and he (Rex) doesn't like them. He never even plays with them! He likes adventure games more. I like those too, but . . . it's just, racing holds a strange fascination for me, and when I told Mom this, she looked slightly sad and said that I'd probably be a champion. I wonder why?
