A.N: I just want to start this chapter off by fixing some things up from the last chapter. If you were early to read this you may have caught on that the main characters name was Jack this was because I had originally written this story for a different movie, so I have changed the names to be correct and some of the appearances of the characters to more fit the httyd image. Anyways hope you enjoy.

Born To Race: Chapter 2

There we were cruising forty-five heading off towards the garage. It had been a long time since we headed down the back roads towards our garage. The last time we ended up racing this old grumpy man with the rundown car he named fungus. Weird name if you ask me but who am I too judge. The garage is one of two places I've felt like I'm totally free with no burdens surrounding my life no bullies no school just me and my car. The second is when I'm behind the wheel racing, with the engine roaring in the background and heart beating out of my chest due to the adrenaline.

My car, we found it in the local scrap yard. A 1967 Stingray. We've built her up to where she's almost ready for the races just the final tuning is required before I finally put my name out onto the streets. I've been waiting for this moment for so long it's like a dream come true to finally be approaching the end of its rebuild.

We pulled up into the garage, I quickly jumped out of the passenger seat and jumped into my car revving the engine. The roar was magnificent, vibrating my bones to the core. "Sounds good, only a few tune-ups and she'll be ready for tonight." I hear Cameron yell over the engine. I just grin to myself at that statement. Tonight is the night, no more going and being teased for not racing, tonight is my night. Tonight is my night to shine.

It only took us an hour to get through the tune-ups, which in all honesty was faster than I thought it would take. Only a few modifications were made and a lot more arguing but we got through it. "Have you thought about your racing name yet?"Cameron called out. This made me think why wouldn't I just use my own name. "Why would I need that?"I replied trying to understand. "Because its what you'll get known as when your racing. It's better you come up with one before people make it up for you." Cameron says grinning. "Makes sense" I replied, "any ideas?"

"Don't know, you know mine is a speed demon, another example as to why you don't let others pick your name for you," Cameron said whilst looking away, I put a hand on his shoulder. "You may not have gotten it right but you can make sure I do," I said to reassure him. Then I saw his eyes light up, the same way it does when he's got a race all figured out. "I got it! Night Fury!" He suddenly shouted. "Hmm, catchy. Sounds great but why night fury?" I said wanting to know the reason behind it.

"Think about it you're about to get known for your fury behind the wheel, and all your races tend to be at night anyway," I admit I couldn't flaw his logic. Then I saw a new look come across his face. "Do you want to be Known or unknown?" He said in a quieter voice. "What?" I asked not entirely sure as to what he was talking about. "Known or unknown? Do you want your identity to be known or unknown? You know most of the best racers don't have their identity known to the public." I hadn't ever thought about it some of the best racers are known for not revealing who they were behind the mask. They come race then leave after they receive the prize money. The most notorious being Toothless, a racer is known for his aggressive driving style but clever tactical thinking. No one has ever seen him without his helmet off and he has never lost a race.

I quickly came to a decision. "Unknown," I replied. Cameron seemed to be surprised to hear my reply so quickly. "Are you sure? That means you can't drive your car in public." He said with wide eyes and gaping mouth, I hadn't really thought about that. I wouldn't be able to drive my car around but I would be able to have a new start. To not be known as the clumsy runt who doesn't know how to do anything right. "Yeah, I'm sure." I sigh out knowing that I wouldn't be able to drive in public as much, but that didn't mean I couldn't drive it on the back roads. "Ok then let's get ready to race." I got up and grabbed my helmet and radio. "You ready for this?" I hear Cameron say. "Never been more ready," I reply confidently, grinning from ear to ear. "Ok then let's race." I grin and run over to my car, Hop in and start revving the engine. I see Cameron in his car, he has his hand with five fingers up.

Four…

Three…

I rev the engine ready to take off.

Two…

One…

GO! We both take off with extreme precision. Then I hear over the radio. "Let the race begin."

A.N: well there you have it chapter two of Born to Race, the number of people who read the first chapter astounded me. We managed to reach a total visitor number of 180 separate visitors to the story, this inspired me to get this chapter out a bit faster then I had planned to. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it and please review to tell me what you think so far.
