I'm back, and don't worry, this chapter should be longer than the last! This chapter will cover the whole Grand Prix Weekend, and remember, you get a cookie if you guess the right circuit this time ;D

Hint, just because it's Forever Fall, doesn't mean the real life track is in a forest.

Oh, and there is an OC, belonging to vcdm, who is from Canada, but obviously Canada doesn't exist in Remnant, so we'll just say it's a region of Remnant.

Also, another OC, which was submitted by Arieko (Who writes amazing stories) will be introduced here, perhaps as a possible rival to Ruby... Tension will rise.

And to Passerby, I'm so sorry xD

Saturday- 10:AM: Practice 3- Forever Fall Grand Prix.

As Ruby drove her warm up lap in practice, she couldn't help but take in the beauty of the forest that this Grand Prix track was in. It provided a different atmosphere, and Ruby found that it calmed her quite a lot. Red leaves were falling from trees constantly, although none got on the race track.

Soon, the hour was done, and Ruby had managed to get second place in Practice, finishing only behind a new driver, replacing the injured Ryan.

Her name was Victoria Urshman, and she had instantly taken up the track by storm, managing to finish ahead of Ruby and Ren. Her team mate, replacing Murray from the same team, was called Vincent Marsh, a driver from Canada. He had finished fifth in practice, and from what people had seen, he had quick reflexes, as he'd had to avoid a crash earlier in the session, and he'd managed to get through several cars that were spinning all over the place.

Ruby had decided to get changed into casual clothes, and walk around the forest with her older sister and brother. As she waited outside Team BY's garage, she saw the new driver, Victoria, walking across, getting swarmed by reporters, who all wanted to hear from this new driver that had gotten first in practice in her first race.

Ruby felt something inside of her, but she wasn't sure what. Jealousy? She hoped not, because it wasn't in Ruby's nature to be jealous. But she couldn't help but watch as Victoria headed to her trailer. She had short black hair with purple highlights, with it barely reaching her shoulders, although she had long bangs that covered her left eye.

Ruby suddenly felt someone tap her on the shoulder, and saw that her brother Chen was looking at her with a smirk.

"What?" asked Ruby.

Chen's smirk grew wider. "Getting a little feisty are we Rubbles?"

"Firstly, don't call me that, and secondly, I am not jealous..."

"I never specifically said that you were jealous," said Chen, smirk still present on his face.

Ruby sighed. "Look, I'm just curious to what she looked like, and now I know, okay?"

Chen nodded, smirk vanishing off his face. "Whatever you say Ruby..." he said, not entirely convinced.

By now, Yang had made her way out of the garage and joined the other two.

"Alright guys, you ready to go?" she asked boisterously.

"Yep!" said Chen.

Ruby nodded and followed her two older siblings as they made their way into the forest. She was still deep in thought. Why was she so bothered by the new female driver? Why did she feel like she was being threatened? It wasn't like she was even the best driver anyway, Ren and Yang were both better than her. She was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt a flurry of leaves land on her head, knocking her to the ground with an indignant shout.

She looked up as she hurriedly wiped all the leaves that Chen and Yang had dumped on her. The two blonde twins were rolling around on the floor laughing at Ruby's reaction when she'd had the leaves dumped on her. All thoughts about Victoria were gone, and a childish grin spread on Ruby's face. She picked up her own pile of leaves, and dumped then on Yang and Chen while they were still on the floor laughing. This lead to a fully blown out leaf fight.

Chen grabbed a handful of leaves and dumped them down Ruby's shirt. Ruby retaliated by smacking a bunch of leaves right in Chen's face. Ruby then found herself being picked up and marched towards to huge pile of leaves.

"No! Yang, please no!" cried Ruby struggling, but Yang didn't relent and dropped her head first into the pile of leaves.

Ruby quickly shot out of the leaf pile, absolutely covered by them, and lunged at Yang, tackling her to the floor, and the two sisters just rolled around childishly in the leaves.

Chen saw the perfect opportunity, and used his telekinesis semblance, to whirl up a huge storm of leaves, and ran it over the two girls, who were being hit by leaves from all sides. Then, Chen stopped, and all the leaves dropped onto his two sisters. Giggling like a child, Chen quickly turned head over heels and ran off, before his sister's could catch him.

He was halfway back to the race track, but then he heard a whistling wind, and knew that Ruby was using her semblance to catch up. Before he knew it, Ruby had jumped onto his back, and forced him to his knees.

A devilish grin appeared on Ruby's face, and she shoved Chen's face into the leaves.

"Haha! Eat leaves you fiend!"

She ignored Chen's muffled shouts, and continued rubbing his face into the leaves. But then to her horror, she felt Chen go limp. Panicking, Ruby quickly got off his back, and was about to start calling for help, but she saw Chen suddenly shoot up and pick her up by her feet. She squealed as Chen began to march back to where the trailers were.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I walked in with you like this?" asked Chen with a smirk.

Ruby flailed around, to no avail, and found Yang had finally caught up. "Yang! Help me please!"

Yang pretended to think for a moment. "Hmm, it could be rather funny... I'm good Rubes."

"I'll get you both!" shouted Ruby as the trio walked into the pavilion, and Ruby's cheeks flared red as she saw everybody turn to look at her.

"Chen, please I'm sorry, just let me down!" said Ruby, but she was still unable to hold back a few giggles.

Chen finally relented and let Ruby back down on solid ground. Ruby pouted as she dusted off some left over leaves off.

"I will get you both back for that, Chen Xiao Long and Yang Xiao Long," muttered Ruby.

Yang smirked. "Whatever."

Ruby sighed and walked back to her trailer to get changed into her racing gear again, muttering curses underneath her breath.

Ruby growled as she was yet again blocked off by Victoria. The new driver had managed to get pole position, ahead of Ren, but earlier on Ruby had overtaken Ren, leaving her in second place. Ruby tried to overtake Victoria again, but was blocked off once more, and she almost got caught in the gravel trap. She rounded turn nine, and it straightened out. Ruby saw that she was creeping up on Victoria, but then she suddenly found Victoria slowly getting more and more ahead of her. It was like she was teasing Ruby!

Ruby braked sharp for turn ten, and tried an inside overtake, yet that didn't work either. She tried again at turn eleven, and at turn twelve, and then again at turn thirteen. She saw a chance to pass at turn fourteen, and tried to take the inside. She actually found herself level with Victoria at that point, but as they approached turn fourteen, Victoria had the inside lane, meaning that Ruby fell behind once again. Ruby began to accelerate out of turn fifteen, in another overtake attempt, but was cut off by Victoria. However, Ruby couldn't brake in time, and the two cars collided, both hitting the annoying kerb, and they both spun off the track. Ruby tried to get back on the track, but watched dismayed at Ren, Yang and Weiss all passed.

She got back onto the track ahead of Victoria, but had fallen down to fourth, with Victoria further behind in sixth. Ruby wasn't quite sure how she felt. Annoyed, yes, but she had to concede the fact that it was both of their faults. No doubt Victoria would be mad at her though.

When that Ruby girl had knocked her off at first, Victoria felt anger rising, but she forced herself to calm down and get back onto the track. No use in being angry when you had a race to win. She started to hum again to calm down, and she soon found herself quickly overtaking Pyrrha at turn one, having braked later, and she managed to get the inside on turn two, and began to accelerate around turn three, where there was long bend, and your speed had to be spot on in order to stay to the racing line.

When she had passed Pyrrha, she had shouted "Tomato!". She didn't know why she shouted out random words after overtaking someone, she just did.

Victoria was still humming as she tried to catch up to Ruby. Humming helped her to get in the zone, yet it annoyed some of her crew when they were giving team orders.

Anyway, Ruby Rose. Why did people think she was so special? She had finished fourth overall last season, but even if it was her first season, there were drivers, such as Ren, who'd won the title in their first season. She didn't even get pole position at all last season. Victoria had managed to get it in her first race. And why was she sounding like such a bitch?

Victoria shook her head to clear her mind of these thoughts. She wasn't normally this stuck-up, in fact, she was never stuck up. Even though that just sounded very stuck up...

She couldn't think of any other reason, than that she was jealous of the so-called 'Young Prodigy'.

It was affecting her concentration, so she started humming again to get herself in the zone, and chased after her possible soon-to-be rival.

Ruby was catching up to Weiss, and almost passed her with the DRS. She stayed behind Weiss for the remainder of the lap, waiting to pounce on any mistakes the former Heiress made. And soon, she made one. On turn ten, Weiss braked a little to late, so when she turned the corner, she ran wide. This was all Ruby really needed, and she zoomed through the gap, and was ahead of Weiss at turn eleven. By the time she had finished the lap, she was more than a second ahead of Weiss, and saw Yang rounding turn two as Ruby approached turn one.

Come on Ruby, you can catch up.

Ruby had managed to finish fourth, which was pretty good, but she'd missed out on the podium, and on the last lap too. And to Victoria Urshman of all people. Ruby at this point couldn't deny that she was annoyed. Definitely not jealous, Ruby wasn't petty like that. Ruby was in third for most of the race, and she had always been at least a second ahead of the new driver, but on the last lap, she'd just breezed past Ruby with ease, and finished two seconds ahead.

Ruby sighed as she leaned against Yang's trailer, waiting to go home with her. It would be a long flight from Forever Fall, as it was far away from Signal, Beacon and the other tracks near their home.

Victoria was still celebrating, and was still being hugged by her sister Arianna. Sure, she hadn't won, but ever since their parent's deaths, her sister and herself had gotten much closer, and Victoria was grateful that she had a sister that loved her no matter what happened.

She'd eventually managed to free herself from Arianna's grasp, and she was walking back to her trailer, when she saw Ruby Rose, the driver that she had been battling with almost the entire race. She had a slightly sullen expression on her face, and Victoria suspected that it was caused by the fact she had been beaten to a podium, and earlier, winning the race.

She wasn't sure if this meant that there was a rivalry between them, but she didn't really want one, because having a rival would just put her under more pressure. And Victoria hated being under pressure.

So, she decided to walk over and talk to Ruby, and see where the two stood with each other.

Ruby checked her watch for the umpteenth time, before seeing Victoria coming over.

'Oh, great, has she come here to gloat? Wait, come on Ruby, you don't even know her properly, so why are you judging her?'

Ruby forced a smile onto her face at the approaching Victoria, and it was returned.

"Hey," said Ruby simply.

"Hey," replied the other girl with another smile.

There was a short awkward silence between the two, before Victoria spoke up, trying to break the ice.

"So, pretty exciting race today, huh?" she asked with a grin.

Ruby nodded with a small smile. "Certainly was, you drive like a pro though," she said, but not bitterly, because she had to admit, Victoria seemed a very talented driver.

Victoria blushed a little at the unexpected, but seemingly genuine, praise. "I'd like to think that's why all of us are here though. I mean: Ruby Rose, the young prodigy," she said with a little giggle.

Ruby smiled. "I hate that people say that though... I mean, the attention's flattering, but I'm just a normal girl that loves racing. I hate it when people treat me like something special, when at the end of the day, I'm just a normal person, like everybody else," she said, a little sadly. "At least I hope I'm a person, and not some alien," she added with a laugh.

Victoria giggled at the last bit. She thought that all the praise would get to Ruby's head, but in fact, she seemed really down to earth. She started to think that Ruby and her could be friends, instead of rivals.

Ruby had similar sentiments. She had maybe judged too quickly. Victoria seemed to want to genuinely talk with Ruby, and Ruby found herself liking her even more as they talked about more random stuff, mainly about Formula One cars.

Eventually, the conversation died down a bit, and Victoria spoke up again.

"So, like I know we might seem like rivals to each other and other people..." she began, looking down, while Ruby nodded her head also looking down. "But I hate rivalries, it just puts me under pressure and all, and I hate being under pressure... And also, we seem to have hit off quite well, and... I'd prefer it if we were friends before rivals..."

Ruby nodded and a genuine smile spread across her mouth. "You know, I'd really like that too..." she said. "Vicky..."

Victoria blushed at the nickname. "That would be awesome... Rubes," she shot back with a grin.

They both shared a laugh, and by then, Chen and Yang were ready, and the three walked off, and Ruby was overjoyed that she had made a friend in Victoria.

Yang watched her sister as she bounced around happily, playfully attacking Chen. She had managed to catch the last parts of Ruby and Victoria's conversation, and Yang felt immensely proud that Ruby had handled the situation well, and made a new friend in the process.

'She's all grown up,' thought Yang with a smile.

Woohoo, they're friends! :D Anyways, not much to say, so see you guys soon!

Until next time,
