Holy hell! I- I UPDATED!

So so sorry! I mean at one point I didn't think this was going to get finished! I've started University so I have mega piles of work for that! But I read a few fic's lately and just inspired me to write! ALSO! IMPORTANT NOTE: During this chapter I added a little section in or a bit of a 'comin relief' scenario, I feel this story was a bit too serious compared to my other stories.

So I really hope you enjoy this and haven't forgot the story! D:

AND! don't worry I AM working on Take Two! I've created a short chapter which i'm working and building on now! So that is in development!

Okay here we go eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything *sigh*

"Right then it's settled"

"So it is"

"See you later"

"You can count on it"

Blossom flipped her phone down with force, she closed her eyes tight and threw her phone on her bed. She was currently sat in her room, She and Brick had parted once he dropped her off at her house. When the professor was killed, herself and her sisters occupied their family home. The authorities never got involved as Blossom cunningly wrote a letter telling them that she and her sisters and gone to live with her aunt and another letter saying that these premises where occupied by an unknown tenant. Blossom then got into the street racing gig mainly for the money, then adrenalin that fuelled her passion and then her ultimate goal... killing Tony.

Blossom was clad in a salmon pink tank top and white shorts and slipper booties, her copper hair was up in a messy bun and all her make-up had been removed. She laid back on her bed and turned to look at her alarm clock. 4:34am. Ugh school in 4 hours Blossom moaned,

Blossom allowed this time and this time only for her to truly take off her mask as the strict faced, cool, calm and collected leader of the DRL. She would write in her journal (when she had time) she would stick pictures up of her friends and family that can be seen hung in various places around her room. Being the eldest she was 'supposed' to take the largest room after the professor died, but she couldn't change his room to one of her own, so instead she kept her small room with pink walls and a blue and green mixed furry carpet to herself. Hardly anyone came in only Bubbles and Buttercup have peeked there heads in now and again, and that was a couple of years ago! They know better to knock these days.

In her room Blossom also took time, to strategise plans, formulate ideas to improve her cars and drivers abilities; she did endless research on the web and kept a big thick file hidden in her room with all her notes, scrawling, pictures, ideas, plans, strategies, manoeuvres in there and no one was to ever find it. Ever.

Slowly crawling into bed she hoped sleep would elope her. If only she where that lucky. Her mind and brain where speeding at the days events; the horrific and tragic death of her dear and close friend Jade brought tears to the eyes of the red headed beauty, her heart felt so heavy and saddened. Brick. Brick seemed to have brought an unexpected uplift in her life which she so desperately needed, he seemed to be able to equal her in many ways, wit, courage, leadership, skill, and one heck of a beautiful face. Blossom allowed herself to meekly smile at the idea that he belonged to her now.

Finally the thing that kept her mind most occupied was the plan she just set up on the phone a few minuets ago, mulling over the possible outcomes, who would be involved, how to ensure it goes her way, how to make sure she kept everyone safe.

Groaning to herself Blossom flipped over hoping she'd fall asleep better this way. Knowing what she had to do she structured how she was going to tell her team what she's set up for them that very day. She would do it in her racing den where all the cars were and where they were fixed up and built (not to mention that's where Josh, Leah and Stephen live.) She would sit them all down and make sure they listened.

'So I want you all to listen because I'm only saying this once.' Blossom thought, yeah that should get their attention.

'I've got something planned... Something big"

Blossom looked round and looked everyone in the eyes, her eyes resting longer on those beautiful blood red ones she found herself thinking about last night before she finally fell asleep.

Brick looked at her in interest, Blossom had told everyone to leave school at lunch period as they had some very important plan to set out. Butch and Buttercup happily ditched as did the rest with a little reluctance from Bubbles and Boomer, not to mention Brick himself (he hated been taken away from routine.) Blossom looked every part as serious as she was speaking. Her luscious copper hair was up in a high ponytail with her bangs hanging down to frame her face; she had a light pink tight top on underneath a black blazer, she had either black shorts or trousers on (Brick couldn't see where the table had cut off) and black flat boots that went up to her knees from what he saw at the bottom. And as always she looked absolutely smoking hot and she's all mine Brick thought greedily and rather smugly. Blossom's words then snapped him out of his mischievous thoughts.

"What you done?" Buttercup gets straight to the point looking her sister dead in the eye. Buttercup hated situations like this, they never started off good (you see it all the times in movies.) Suspecting a hint of worry in Blossom few words as only a sister can she urged her to continue.

"I've done a deal with Aiden-"

"WHAT?" Butch, Boomer, Leah and Stephen yell

"and Tony..."

"WHAT?" The rest of them including Brick jumped up.

"Will you just shut up and LET ME FINISH!" Blossom's belle like voice rising an octave forcing them all to focus.

"This is what is going to happen... we are going to compete in a two person a-side race, so two from our team and two from there's. It will be a race across the city from Brook Street to Townsville town Bridge"

"Well sound simple enough, get us the cars we'll get you the money" Butch said eagerly

"You didn't let me finish" Blossom said looking at him under her lashes, not one to be intimidated and especially by a girl, Butch clenched his jaw allowed her to continue.

"This will be a no-holes barred race, meaning anything goes; no rules, no restrictions no nothing"

"Okay, seems standard, simple we can do this Blossom" Bubbles says in confidence, but Brick didn't share the same enthusiasm.

"Who's the drivers for their team?" Brick asks his eyes never leaving her face, Blossom looks right back at him dead in the eyes

"Aiden and Tony"

Brick takes a big sigh and leans back a bit in his chair, Boomer, Stephen Bubbles and Leigh looks disturbed, Josh looked slightly worried and Butch and Buttercup had a look of revenge stricken across there features.

"And it doesn't end there... I wanted this ending, this feud this hatred this- this fear. I want them out of our lives for good so we agreed, who ever wins must leave the country or..."

Blossom left the question hanging daring or not to tell them the rest, but her team needed to be fully in the know to work to their full potential.

"Death match."

You could hear a pin drop as the room went deathly silent, no one blinked, no one spoke, no one breathed. You could see them all process this information then one by one as they all looked at each other thinking this could be someone's last match. Brick kept his eyes locked on Blossom's and her's on his, there was absolutely no way he was going to let her race, well her and Boomer. Blossom had given him so much and it helped him strive. He would not lose her, no, life with out Blossom wouldn't be called life at all.

Blossom was feeling the exact same for Brick, she was not willing to let him put his life at risk, she wasn't willing to let anyone but herself go but she knew she needed to take both Aiden and Tony out at the same time or else the other would only become stronger. That decision torn Blossom apart but no one absolutely no one could she her anxiety; if she went down so did the whole ship.

"So what's the plan?" Josh found his voice first, breaking the deafening silence

"Well first of all we need to decide our racers" Blossom said "So who's joining me?"

"Whoa whoa whoa, no, no way!" Brick jumped up

"Excuse me but-"

"He's right Blossom you can't be the one to go" Bubbles jumped in, Blossom looked at her most innocent and caring sister as if her brains had fallen out.

"No you can't" Buttercup stood this time, slowly Josh stood too as did Boomer, Butch and the rest. Blossom was in absolute shock, her own team where going against her orders in something so stupid! She wanted her own personal revenge on Aiden and Tony for Jade, for her father, for her team for herself. Why where they doing this?

"What?" Blossom yelled in rage

"Blossom, your too emotionally connected, remember what you always told us? Never race out of hate, you only get hurt yourself. And this time if your hurt.. you die." Bubbles said her voice cracking towards the end

"And I cannot and will not let you anywhere near that driving seat" Brick walking up to Blossom and taking her hand in his. " Your too important to lose, we can't lose you... I can't lose you. Bubbles is 100% right, you can't race out of hate or revenge your head isn't in what your doing and that would lead to silly mistakes, mistakes that will cost you your life, your not racing Blossom" Brick said looking her deep in the eyes.

"Well who will? Leah and Stephen aren't experienced enough, Josh doesn't race because of his leg injuries, Bubbles and Boomer no offence aren't our most ruthless or strategic drivers, is more logical for me and Butch or Buttercup to race" Blossom explain frustrated.

"And what about me?" Brick said shocked

"Hey! you think I would let you get into a life threatening situation that I set up? To hell with that! Your too important to lose. So no your not racing!" Brick gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw, unable to come up with a quick enough response before Buttercup interrupted

"Well then why don't me a Butch race?" Everyone looked at her

"Come on I mean where both the toughest racers, it will take a LOT and I mean a LOT to knock us out for the count" Everyone then looked at Blossom, for the final decision, looking at Bricks his eyes held strength and courage and bravery, everything Blossom wish she possessed right now. Turning away she scowled and walked to the side her arms folded and after a few moments of though she nodded her head.

"YES!" Buttercup and Butch cheered high-fiving, Brick looked at Blossom his eyes comforting, which is just what Blossom needed.

Suddenly Josh hits a speaker and suddenly loud music (We Speak No Americano ) A/N: I strongly advise you put the song on a read before you go any further! begins blasting throughout the den, Blossom looks round irritated while the rest jump at the sudden impact of noise however when the familiar of the beat kicked it the 3 brothers eyes widened and a big grin stretched across their faces.

"LEAVE IT ON!" Butch yelled as he and his brother form a line facing Buttercup, Bubbles, Leah, Josh and Stephen dead serious. Just then the beat kicked in...

'PA PA AMERICANO'

The three guys then stepped twice too once side while lifting there arms up the did the same but the other way, they did this a few times the put the left arm stretched out in front of them while shaking their other hand in front of them on the beat. Such a simple dance, however being performed by these three guys the others found it completely hilarious... all apart from one.

The rest then began to join in this little dance standing a the side of the 3 brothers copying there movements perfectly (wasn't exactly groundbreaking hard anyway) after a few moments they all began to freestyle dancing with the sound of the beat. Most of them probably just needed a stress reliever after the blow Blossom delivered and the size of the task in front of them.

Blossom however remained behind the table looking straight ahead at the scene unfolding, that was however until she felt two arms snake around her waist.

"Come on Bloss, for once in your life stop being so serious and have some fun!... be flexible" He whispered the last part into her ear seductively leaving Blossom with a small smirk on her face. Ah what the hell she thought I need to have some fun while it lasts

"Well then if that's the case!" Blossom laughed, her first real fun-filled laugh Brick had heard and it was music to his ears, she went over to the stereo system and flicked it a few times before facing the team.

"This is how its done!" Blossom yelled grinning, Just then 'Duck Sauce - Barbra Strisend' Smashed through the speakers...

'BARABRA STREISAND!'

Blossom then began by doing the 'running man' turning all the way round then shaking it out while her group 'Ooooo'ed' with mixed cheers 'Go'on Blossom!' 'Smash it' Blossom turned to face her team mates and friends laughing while they all had a dance.

Needless to say in a matter of hours they could possibly facing one of their most life changing races to date, but the infectious beat built their sprits as they danced together in the small garage, while there enemies drew closer.

REVIEW REVIEW PLEASE!

LOVE LOTS!
