The Fast and the Furious

Author's Note: Here's the first chapter. I hope you like it and review the story. It makes me happy when I get them and encourages me to write the next chapter faster, although I'll still update when I can even if I don't get them. When I have my own characters I like to assign an actor or actress to portray them. My character Nicole will be portrayed by Tsianina Joelson. She's not really well known but she was in Bring it On. In real life she's older than Jordana Brewster but oh well. Also I did say in the previous author's note that this would take place before and during the story but to avoid unnecessary filler content, I'm only going to include a few scenes that will lead into the movie.

Beep Beep Beep

The sound of the alarm clock woke the sleeping brunette girl. Rolling over, she reached her arm out to her nightstand to find the device that interrupted the girls sleep. Without opening her eyes, she hit the off button. She continued to lay there, opening her eyes to see the time she had set it for. It read 5:30 in bright green color. After waiting a few more minutes, she got out of bed, quickly changing into one of her simple black bathing suits. After slipping on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, she grabbed her keys and exited her room. Making her way to the bathroom down the hall, she tiptoed as to not wake her brother, Dom, his girlfriend, Letty, and her sister, Mia. She quickly brushed her teeth and put her hair up in a messy bun, not even bothering to shower.

After making sure the door to the house was locked, she made her way to her car parked in front of the house. Her 1997 deep red Jeep Wrangler stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the cars that surrounded it. Her siblings and their friends all loved cars and street racing but Nicole never got into that scene. Sure she went to the races occasionally but it was something she could do without. Nicole's idea of a good time was spending time with friends and family but also going to the beach to surf and just being at the beach, hearing the waves and the birds. After checking nobody was driving up the street, she got out of her spot and drove towards the beach.

Nicole parked next to an SUV, beeping her horn as she did so, laughing at the girl sitting in the driver's seat. As both girls got out of their respective cars, they greeted each other. "I sure hope you brought my surf board with you," stated Nicole. The last time she had been surfing, she didn't have her car with her and opted to leave it her board with her friend until the next time.

"And risk only being able to surf half the time sharing my board? No thank you." The girl replied, opening the back door to get the surf boards.

Early morning surfing before work or school was Nicole's daily goal. As long as the ocean was cooperating, she would get up early and spend an hour in the ocean. Most of the time she met one of her friends but when her friends couldn't, it didn't stop her.

The Toretto family diner didn't open until ten which meant Nicole had plenty of time after surfing before she had to be there. That was time for her to get home, grab a quick bite to eat and take a shower.

By the time she got home, it was eight but to her surprise, everyone's cars were still in the driveway and lining the street. The only exception was Mia, who was currently at school.

Nicole, or Nikki, as she preferred to be called, and Mia had worked out a schedule that worked for the both of them. Dom let Mia and Nikki manage the diner while he managed the shop, but he still wanted both of them to attend college. He didn't care what they chose to major in but he wanted them each to earn their college degrees so they could make something out of themselves one day and not have to rely on the shop and diner alone.

Nikki decided she would rather attend college three days a week and have shorter classes than have only two days but longer times in each class, like Mia had chosen. Four hours three days a week was nothing compared to spending all day in school. On the days they were off, the Toretto girl would spend the day at the diner, from open to dinner time which was roughly around five. The other girl would go from school to the diner after their classes and take over for the rest of the night. It had only been a couple of year's since they worked out that arrangement, it was only Nikki's second year in college.

As she made her way into the kitchen, she saw Dom sitting at the table finishing his cup of coffee. Pouring herself some cereal, she turned to Dom. "What is everyone still doing here? Shouldn't you guys be at the shop by now?" She asked him, as she put a spoonful of Cheerios in her mouth.

"Had a late night." Dom answered without any further explanation.

Nicole didn't have to ask him what the late night meant. She already knew the answer, although it bothered her she wasn't told about it happening that night. Putting the unfinished cereal down on the counter behind her, she looked back up at him. "Why didn't you tell me you were doing that last night? I'm supposed to know when it does."

Dom sighed, knowing he should have told her and not just Mia. "You weren't around." After a few minutes of silence, he got up out of his seat and walked the short distance to her. Putting his hands on her shoulders, and then hugging her, he apologized. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you this time. Next time I will, I promise."

Once he felt her nodding against his torso, he let her go. With that, she took her cereal and went upstairs to take her shower.

A/N: Next chapter will include the whole team and get into the movie. Please review even though not much happened in this first chapter, I would greatly appreciate it.
