May 8th.
"WHOA…this is going to be boring!" Sakurako yawns as she stretches her hand upwards in the cafeteria. "I thought the visit to the theme park days ago would be fun, but it's too BORING! And heck we can't go for karaoke today…"
"We feel the same with you," Madoka sighs, while putting down a magazine she was reading. "At least Misa gets to hang out with her boyfriend today…what a sad life for us who are single," she sighs. It was obvious that Misa are not around the cafeteria today.
"Very very true…" Sakurako adds as she puts her head on the table. "Haih…" she makes it as she was almost asleep, but then rise up when she heard some people are coming into the cafeteria.
"Kugi-chan! Kugi-chan!" suddenly a pair of twins appears from nowhere. "We want to play hide and seek with you!"
"Stop calling me that, Fuuka and Fumika!" Madoka becomes agitated at hearing that the twins called her 'Kugi-chan'. She never liked it when the Narutaki twins calls her any strange nicknames.
"Oh, Kugi-Kugi is now angry…" one of the twins, having 2 tails on top of her head says.
"Onee-chan, maybe we're a bit too much this time," the other twin, wearing buns on her head says. "On the other hand…"
"It's both of your fault, you 2!" Madoka becomes really angry, and stands up with anger in her eyes. She certainly looked frightening by then, making the twins tremble in fear.
"Onee-chan, Kugi-Kugi really got angry this time," the twin wearing the buns on her hair exclaims, while she begins to drag her older sister away. "RUN!"
"You 2 will never escape from me!" Madoka screams as she chases the twins out of the cafeteria, with herself disappearing along too from the area.
For a minute, Sakurako was pondering what to do, until she sees a girl with her long brown hair tied into a long tail at another table. The girl is busy working on something on her laptop. Sakurako decides to sneak behind the girl and…
"HI CHISAME!" she screams at the girl while patting her back, causing the girl to almost lose balance. The girl called 'Chisame' looks back at Sakurako with a bewildered expression through her large round glasses.
"Shiina Sakurako, stop calling me that in front of everyone, you idiot…" the girl replies in a very serious tone.
"Oh, sorry Chi…, err, I mean Chisame-chan…don't know you are busy," Sakurako says in an apologetic tone. "Looking at Chiu-chan's site again, huh?" she adds as she points to the laptop's monitor, showing a picture of a girl resembling Chisame with a few click able menus, and happily giggles to herself.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Chisame becomes even angrier with that, since she would never let her little secret, that is as a popular net idol, out to the knowledge of her classmates.

PSSSH! PSSSH! VRRRRRNNNNNNGGGGGG…PRAAK! PRAAK!
The sounds are heard as Shun slows the Chaser and goes a gear down in Tuchizaka in daytime, and the exhaust of the car fires a stream of fireballs. He tries to see how much he have actually improved over these past few weeks, as Saniro's RX7, now having a Border Racing carbon fibre GT wing on it's boot, trails the Chaser closely. The Chaser begins to pull a drift, as it's nose closes into the apex, with the front wheels in the opposite direction. Tyre smokes are generated from the rear wheels, as the RX7 behind goes inches closer to the Chaser. The Chaser exits the corner, as the tail threatens to trade paint with the walls, with the RX7 following right behind.
Minutes later, the RX7's front gold Advan TCII wheels come to a stop behind the Chaser in a car park next to the road.
"Other than the GT wing, you seem to be very rich to be able to afford those Advans too?" a curious Shun asks, noticing that the wheels of the RX7 have been completely changed, when Saniro was coming out. "Thought you still want to mix and match wheels, like last time."
"No more," Saniro says, closing the door of the coupe. "Time to make it look proper, so those BBSes go away…and come the Advans in front," he grins, proud of his latest acquisition for the car. "They look good on the 7."
"I see," Shun says as he sips some water from a mineral water bottle. "Speaking of exterior, still have yet to put on those side skirts and rear skirt on the 100."
"Oh Shun, I wonder why you didn't install those yet?" Saniro becomes puzzled. "I remember you keep all the stuff in your room right?"
"True," Shun says as he is screwing the cap of the bottle to close it, and puts it aside. "I will only put those on when the time comes, for example a turbo upgrade."
"Oh, ya…speaking of that, wonder which one should I use now?" the large build boy begins to worry about something. "That guy says that my twin turbo is going to die soon if I still uses them, since it's running high on boost right now. He advised me to go for something else, since it will be never easy to tune the standard turbos."
"No idea," Shun answers straight back to Saniro as he sweeps his hair back. "But I hear TDs can reach more then 450ps with the proper modifications. If you no grey matter inside your skull, you can go for the T88."
"Hey, T88s is way too powerful for me right now, since this is still a full-fledged touge car," Saniro says while brushing the idea of a very large turbo off.
"Wonder where that guy went," Shun scorned at the prospect of one of their friends not being here.
"Speaking of which, wonder what he's so excited about yesterday," Saniro says, while putting on his shades. "Hey, let's get off here man. It's getting late now."
The cars rumble off the car park, as the sounds of the cars echoes throughout the mountains of Tuchizaka.

"So this is the thing?" Yuuna asks Choo Tin in the car park of the males' dormitory, who went out for some business. He was standing next to something covered in a grey cover. It seems that he has invited her to show something to her regarding the car.
"Yup," the tall boy says poiting at the covered car. "It's the one. And you have the honour to be the only one to have a look at it."
"What about your friends?" the girl asks him in a puzzled tone. "Don't you want to share the good news with them?"
"No, since I'll be quietly selling it off," Choo Tin answers as he pushes some of his hair back, and crosses his eyes. "It's not the right kind of car for me anyway, or that I'm not ready for it yet."
"I see…let me take a look," she says as she slowly goes to the covered car, trying to see what it is.
She was surprised to see what is underneath the covers. Oh my God…this thing looks expensive…
It was a curvy coupe, with a gaping front air dam and large wheels. The words '350Z' are visible from her view.
"Alright, show's over," Choo Tin says as he opens the boot of the car to take out a green box, and quickly covers the 350Z. "I don't want anyone to notice, since this is going to disappear by tomorrow."
"It looks so cool…too bad you're selling it off," Yuuna sighs as she sees that the senior boy finished covering the car. "I wonder why?"
"Well, I don't do coupes. Plus, my own car is more fun than that, for now," he tells her the reason why, while leaning on the Proton sedan. "Although, I actually wanted to move on to another car…"
"That is?" she becomes surprised at hearing that, since he told her he likes his car very much.
"A Nissan Skyline. Ask anyone that played the PS2 racing games and they'll know, though I wanted the sedan ones," he tells the girl with a rather gloomed expression. "Although I don't think you know what it is anyway."
"Obviously…I see…it's your choice anyway…" Yuuna says, acknowledging that she really know nothing about cars, as she notices something on Choo Tin's back. "What's in that box anyway?"
"This?" he answers as he takes it down and put it on the boot of his Perdana, which is parked next to the covered 350Z. "Something for club activities, and no, it's not a toy like those advertised."
"Whoa, is it some cannon or something?" Yuuna scratches her forehead as she is at a loss over what it is.
"Close. It's an assault rifle. And no, it's not a fake or those airsofts," he says as he unlocks the box, and lifts the cover up. "There it is," he points to the G3SG/1 kept in the box, with a few magazines lined up in a compartment next to the rifle.
"OH…MY…GOD…" Yuuna becomes very shocked at seeing the scoped rifle in the box. "That is like…oh my …you want to kill someone?"
"Nope, only for club activities, you know, the Military Research…" the lanky Chinese boy smiles as he says that.
"Oh, that club…" she rubs her chin with a finger or two, and suddenly sports a surprised look. "Whoa…I thought one of my classmates is already crazy enough to own some guns in her shrine, and yours looks like those used in those police-type action movies."
"Oh, you must be talking about the priestess in the Tatsumiya Shrine. And ya, I just love those counter-terrorism movies."
"How did you know about her?" Yunna was a bit surprised when she hears that, since he only knows her well enough along with her close friends.
"The store owner tells me that a priestess at that shrine is his most frequent customer," he says as he closes the box, and locks it. "He told me that she's a mercenary, and told me to ask her for a job if I want some income."
"Whoa…?" Yunna says in amazement. "You want to become a mercenary of sorts?"
"Well, things like this doesn't happen all the time," he says while winking at the girl. "Want a demo of how this thing works?"
"Er, no, I don't need that. It's obviously dangerous to fire a rifle here," she says a warning to him.
"OK then. Hey, got to go now. Obviously you don't want people to see you around here…so see ya next time…ciaoz!"
"OK, see you then, senpai," Yunna says as she waves goodbye to the boy, and quickly disappears to her dormitory.

"Whoa, where the heck you went all day!" Saniro exclaims while Choo Tin just remained quiet at the table in the cafeteria.
"Me? Went to buy some stuff," He replies calmly.
"Oh, whatever…" Saniro brushes it off, obviously not interested in what his friend bought. "Any ideas on what turbo should I use for the FD?"
"Erm…if you are prepared for a slight lag, then go single turbo," he answers, as he pauses for a while. "Get something like the TD06 from GReddy, since they will respond very well."
"Oh man, no, no, not even you…"
"Why?" Choo Tin pauses as he hears his friend's reaction.
"That faggot suggested something from GReddy too," Sanior points to Shun, who was reading a newspaper.
"Since you love to stuff in everything from the GReddy catalogue, it should fit you anyway, hehehe," Choo Tin grins. "Beware though, the kick is massive for people like us. Why, you want to go T88?"
"I just love everything massive!" the big guy exclaims in excitement at the mention of 'T88'. "Nah, T88s are just too extreme for people like us anyways," he said, changing his expression changed to a sigh instead. "I can't afford to do that…that will be a lot of money."
"Whatever is massive sure fits you," Shun adds in a rather sly manner. "It's your style anyway."
----------------
Note: More practice for the drift boys in Tuchizaka. Those who have watched Initial D would have noticed where it is, and for Choo Tin, the 350Z is definitely a no-keep. It will be a big mistake later.
