Right off the bat, I want to say I'm really sorry for the huge delay in my updates. I can't even come up with an excuse, I'm really sorry!

I have a little writers block, but it will pass soon as usual.

I love you NKingy! The she is the best and has decided to draw a picture of Tala from this story! I'll let you know when it's done…

Also, I'm going to put hints to songs and bands in this story. There's one in this chapter, and I'm interested to see if anyone can get it. I'll make them harder each update, but I think this one is pretty easy.

Flying past turns at amazing speeds and leaning low to the ground below them, the rock star and the Goth surged foreword. Cars honked angrily at them and people yelled from the sidewalks as they were cut of by the two speed demons.

"Nice town…" Kai thought sarcastically rolling his eyes. This kid was good, damn good.

Tala sighed knowing that he might have to get a bit dirty in this race. The stakes where so high, he couldn't afford to loose. Sliding low into the seat and holding on with his knees, he pulled himself up into a wheelie and cut right in front of the rock star beside him.

"Hey!" Kai yelled in anger, swerving to the side making him loose speed and fall back in the race.

Tala smirked and set his other wheel back down on the ground, looking behind at Kai for just a second.

Just then, a car pulled past a red light and zoomed past him at eighty, going past a red light.

Tala's eyes widened and he swerved away in the nick of time to avoid crashing. "Damn car!" Tala yelled through grit teeth, the blasted moron was going to cost him the race!

Kai smiled darkly as he pulled ahead of the red head, waving as he did so.

Tala glared and flipped him off promptly; trying to get back his speed and get back out in front of the race.

An intersection was coming up, cars flying past at high speeds. Most of the people ignoring the light and doing as they pleased. What do you expect? It was the slums, no one gave a damn.

Neither did Tala.

Two trucks at the intersection where heading towards each other, the gap between them closing fast.

Kai was comfortably ahead and turned around the back of the truck, not bothering to go through the center. He was winning anyway.

Tala didn't have that luxury. He revved the engine and surged forward, cursing as his legs grazed against the metal of the truck. He prayed that it wasn't bleeding, Rei would kill him if he knew he was racing again. His leg stung like a bitch.

Kai's eyes narrowed as he saw that Tala had caught up to him. Blasted little rat.

The two where neck and neck, flying down the street.

That's when the elderly woman living on Tonic street decided to go out to a store on the other side of the road. She had poor vision. She didn't see the two petrol heads coming towards her.

Kai swerved to the side, barely avoiding her. Almost stopping completely, "Argh! Stupid woman!"

"If you could only see!" Tala thought bitterly, the woman always made things difficult.

He prayed silently that he wasn't as insane as Rei thought him to be and pulled himself up into an Endo, or a nose-wheelie and Kenny called it. He leaned foreword, pulling the bike with him, falling head over. He closed his eyes tight; maybe this wasn't a good idea…

The back wheel hit the road perfectly, flipping Tala right side up and continued to move foreword.

Tala blinked a few times as he tried to figure out why he was still alive. He should be dead. He brought his hand off the gas and slowed down a little. Looking behind him, he saw Kai starting up his bike and coming after him.

After him.

Tala grinned, he was in the lead! He surged forward, home free.

Pulling into the driveway of the first house on the finish street, Tala smiled and pulled off his dark black helmet. He shook his hair, which plastered to his head in light sweat. He grinned as Kai pulled in behind him. "That's how we race around here rich boy."

"Shut up." Kai growled, yanking off his helmet. "There is no way in hell you should have pulled that off. No way in hell. You should be dead. Not standing there before me." Kai crossed his arms and squeezed his biceps tightly, "No one turns an Endo into… that."

"I call it an Insane." Tala said thoughtfully, since he came up with it, he should be able to name it right? "By the way…" Tala smiled and rubbed him thumb and forefinger together, "I think that was a two million dollar stunt I pulled off there along with the race."

Kai grunted and pulled out the wad of cash from his pocket, bitterly tossing it to the read-head. "This isn't the end I hope you know." He walked back to his bike and put his helmet back on, the glass visor still up, "I plan on coming back to that quaint little bar that you work at."

"Be my guest." Tala shrugged, pocketing the money. "One thing though, leave the kid alone."

"The kid?" Kai asked, "You mean the black haired boy?" he scoffed, "I'm surprised he isn't famous himself. Even more than that, he acts as if he's never been close to some, like what I did with him on stage. Leaving him alone is insane. Even more so than that suicidal trick of yours." With that, Kai pulled down his visor and sped off angrily, still fuming about his lost cash, Bryan was going to kill him…
