Here's the next chappie with everyone with questions. Be prepared for repetition and embarrassment. Me own not Oban. Me own Kailua, Izzy and plot. That it.

The next day, Molly went out early to town to look around better, and to avoid questions about the race. She knew when she got back she'd have to explain. Rick already knew and hadn't told anyone, for which she was grateful. But the main person she didn't want to see was Aikka. She'd have to admit she like and he might not like her after that, after all, Nourasians were honorable people. Kailua knew she'd lied and knew all the reasons, but didn't care. Jordan wasn't the type to get upset over that; after all, she'd knocked him unconscious and injured him in her little vendetta and he'd forgiven her.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts, her feet walking on autopilot, that she didn't hear Aikka calling her until he laid a hand on her shoulder, making her jump about two feet in the air and spun around. Aikka was wearing a maroon cape over his usual robes and a frown on his face.

"Molly, are you alright? I called you three times."

"Yeah I was just thinking about yesterday's race."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. What happened? What made you act like that?"

Molly bit her lip and looked at the ground.

"Come with me." She led him back to her hanger to a rock on the nearby cliff. "My mom was killed ten years ago in a rave against Spirit and I've thought he'd done it on purpose this whole time. But he showed me that the fuel line leaked and the engine short circuited, blowing it up. He was trying to save her. My dad abandoned me at the boarding school after that. Aikka, I lied to you. My name's not Molly. It's Eva Wei; Don Wei, our manager is my dad. I ran away to find him but when I did, I was ashamed when he didn't recognize me, so I lied and said who said my name is Molly. I stowed away when he was called to race on Oban and the rest you know but he doesn't know any of it. Please don't tell him, but I lied to you and I'll understand if you're angry." The last of it she said in a rush, head down afraid to look at him.

"I'm not angry Molly. I'm sorry for your loss, both of your mother and father, and I can understand your motives, I just wish you'd told me sooner."

She looked up, startled and saw him smiling, causing her to blush. He opened his arms to her and she went gratefully. He held her, resting his head on hers, whilst her head was on his shoulder.

"I was wondering when you were gonna tell him." They looked up to see Kailua on a tree branch, sitting upright for once, her shoulder bandage gone. She hopped down to them.

"How long have you been eavesdropping?" Molly demanded.

"I don't need to eavesdrop, remember?" She tapped her forehead.

"You knew? For how long?" Aikka asked.

"After all these years, I'd've thought that by now you'd know I know everything. I read her mind the day we met which was give or take a week ago." Molly looked down, remembering the impending lecture she was sure to get and all the questions and she'll have answer. Aikka looked down at her and saw the anguish all over her face.

'Don't worry Eva. They won't reject you or hurt you. Your father least of all.' Molly looked at Kailua who had an expressionless look on her face. She and Aikka accompanied Molly back to her pit. Waiting outside were Rick and Jordan, the latter of who smiled when he saw Kailua, the former simply smiled.

"Where've you been, Little Mouse? Don Wei wants to talk to you." Rick patted her on the back as she passed.

Don was in his office looking at the picture of his family, Stan and Koji were working on the Arrow, so when he heard a knock he knew it was Molly. He put the picture away and told her to come in.

"Well, young lady, thanks to the stunt you pulled we now have only two points and if we lose the next race we lose our chance at Oban. Now why did you do that? You injure yourself, your partner, and almost destroyed our last star racer beyond repair. Explain!"

"Because ten years ago my mom was killed in a race against Spirit and my dad abandoned me." She took a deep breath and looked him in the eye. "It's me Dad, Eva."

Don was dumbstruck. The little girl he'd left at boarding school was the rebellious young woman in front of him?

"But, how-"

"After ten years of never hearing from you, no letter, cards, calls, nothing I figured I had nothing left to lose so I broke out and went to find you thinking you'd be the same nice, caring dad I remember. But you didn't recognize me; you first thought I was a boy. You weren't kind anymore so I became Molly to hide. When Rick got hurt and became the Earth team racer, I thought that since you didn't know I was your daughter I thought you might love me as Molly." She was starting to choke on tears she was trying to hold back. Don came out from behind the desk, walked over to Eva and hugger her tight. He had missed his daughter, but after Maya died, he'd had to bury himself in work to save his sanity and he sent Eva to boarding school to keep her from racing, and ending up like her mother. That plan was no down the drain.

"I'm truly sorry, Eva. I just wanted to protect you."

"I still get to keep racing, right?"

"After yesterday, are you out of your mind?" She raised an eyebrow and gave him a look that said 'I'm all you got.' He sighed. "Alright. Come one. I'll introduce you to whomever's left that doesn't know."

"That'd be Jordan, Stan, and Koji."

They walked out and, seeing the happy looks on the pilot's and manager's faces, everyone looked towards them.

"Gentlemen, this is Eva, my daughter. She's been hiding from me as Molly but had just told me the truth. She will still rave with Jordan so let's finish the repairs and win the next race."

Stand and Koji went back to work, Eva went downstairs, and Don retreated to his office. Jordan came up to Eva.

"Why'd you lie to us?"

"Because my dad didn't recognize me and I didn't want to tell him before it was absolutely necessary. And I thought if he knew he'd forbid me racing."

"You hid very effectively, Mouse." Rick said from beside the ship. "Now all you have to do is win against Toros and on Oban and you're set."

'Why do I find no comfort in that thought?' Molly asked herself.

Kinda boring, no racing or fighting but revealing. I shall now leave you to your thought and/or your miseries.
