An old friend
Chapter 5
- I come from the turbo game time, I was their mechanic, I fixed their cars, when they had crashed, or if they were broken, they were like a family to me. Turbo of course, was always the star, but he was a really bad loser, but I liked him, he was always the one who stood up for one, and he always cared about me. If he only knew what he meant to me. But when roadblasters, was programmed in, everything got wrong.

: 1985:
- Have you heard about the new game? I ask Ted
- Yes, I heard about it this morning, the players love it!
- We should go visit, you know, so that they feel welcome, I give him a big smile.
- You could bake a pie or something?, your cheesecake is surely the best in game history!
Ted looks up, I can see how his face becomes pale red. He has always been difficult, to praise (though he knows it's true), I ask him, because he is the only one of us who can cook.
- We have all the ingredients? . He opens the refrigerator. milk, butter, eggs. Do we have any crackers?
I stand on tiptoe to reach the top shelf (where I know Turbo has its secret storage) I take down a biscuit packet and opens it. The lovely smell hit against me. I cannot help to stop a few of the mouth.
- Do you know how sour Turbo will be now? When he discovers that his cookies are gone.
Ted gives me a look and put his arms crossed.
- -hmmf.. he'll have to learn to share.
I give him the packet
- By the way, it is not healthy to eat too much candy.
Corners of his mouth go up and he gives me a big smile.
- You're right, he laughs
- Turbo probably should not eat so much sugar. He begins already to look like a meatball!.
I cannot help but laugh, he was partly right, the turbo is a bit more rounded than the twins, but now he was ousted.
- Shall we begin? If I ask him, and put your hair up in a messy bun.
- Refer it to me, I'm a master at baking cheesecake.

An hour later, remains a hot cheesecake on the table. I wipe away batter blobs from my clothes, with a wet towel. Ted brush the flour off her hands and looking at reviewing the cheesecake.
-It's a masterpiece!

Ted took the pie and put it in a basket, it was still warm, and Ted snatched his hand and stopped the finger in her mouth.
-AAAAaahh ...
- We have to go now, the arcade opens soon!, I take the basket and goes to the door.
Where are you?
I turn around and face Turbos yellow eyes (he did not look happy)
- eh.. we would just going to greet our new neighbors, so they feel welcome.
His gaze wanders down to the basket in my hand.
What is this! ?
I take the basket and show him the contents.
- Cheesecake? I didn't know you could bake?
- I cannot!, I knew how Ted grabbed my shoulder.
- We did it together.
I see how Turbot's eyes fill with envy, he walks towards his room and closes the door with a bang.

At the central station, I feel the anger welling up.
- God what he is childish, we'll just greet our new neighbors welcome. And he behaves as if it is wrong?
Ted looks at me with a puzzled look.
- I think he is jealous
I look at him in surprise.
- Jealous of who?
- That you hang with me, of course !, he likes you, it shows.
I can feel my cheeks get hot, and I pinch myself in the arm.
- How do you know that?
he laughs
- That's my brother, I know him.
We go imot tunnel, where the top stands (ROADBLASTERS) with large gold shining letters.
- But how long have you known it?
Wiljam pops up in front of us.
- Oh no not you! shouts Ted
he give us a tried look us
-name ..
- Ted, Turbo-Time, says Ted.
- -Tanja from turbo time, I say, and put one hand on my hip
-pass by
- Finally, I really hate that guy.
I heard that!, we heard behind us

Arriving in roadblasters, we discovered that there was someone there.
- HELLO!?
Ted pointed to some houses.
- I hear the music from there ,follow me.
We ran over to the large house, the loud music subdued all imagined sound. We knocked on the door.
- Hello!
The music turned off. And after a few seconds the door opened. He opened, was very tall, Tanja got to bend her neck to see his face. He wore a red racing suit, with white and black flags on the sides. The long black hair hung over half his face like a long fringe. He had big ice blue eyes that loomed like little blue light under the pile. He was incredibly handsome!.
- Oh well.. What do you want?
She returned back to reality.
- We are your new neighbors, and we just wanted to visit so that you feel welcomed.
She holds out the basket imot him. And he gives her a heavenly smile.
- Thank you! I and the boys are so hungry, after the rejvet yesterday.
He takes the basket and is about to close the door before he hurriedly opens it again.
- Incidentally we're having a inauguration party tomorrow night, it will be the biggest party ever! would you like come?
He gives us a charming smile.
- Of course we will. i say
- Nice! See you there then, he says before he closes the door. Well back to Turbo-time, I run and knock on Turbos door
- No response that was strange
I open the door gently, and get to see Turbo wrapped in his blanket on the bed. With your face is buried in the pillow.
- How are you?
I can feel the joy in me dies out
- I'm feeling damn turbo-tastic
he sputters and press against the wall.
- Why are you acting so weird?, you've been like this ever since Roadblasters was programmed.

I sit beside him on the bed -Nothing you need to worry about!
He presses his head hard against the pillow.
Are you jealous or something?
I know how he sets to.
I'm not fucking JEALOUS!
He sits up abruptly and kicking off the covers. He pressed his arms against the stomach and bends your head down.
But why are you so angry, I was just wondering!.
- BUT THEN stop wondering!
He takes the blanket as he, just kick off and wrap it tight around him. I can feel the anger boiling in me.
But I just want to help you!
He pulls the covers up over his ears.
- Help yourself!
Now she could not hold back the anger, she walked quickly toward the door.
- YOU ARE FOR THE HELL quite disturbed!
She slams the door and goes to his room. She lays down on the bed and feel the tears burning against her cheeks upset. She holds his breath and pressed his head against the salt drenched pillow. She hears a door opening. she turns around, it's Turbo who want to ask for forgiveness ?. She looks to se Teddy in the doorway. She feels the disappointment wash over her. He goes back and sits down next to her.
- Tell, Ted about the party for you?
She asks, trying to hold back the tears.
- Yes, but everyone in the arcade is talking about it , so they're kind hard not to have heard about it .the, it's supposed to be the biggest party in the gaming hall's history.
She turns her face imot him.
- does Turbo? Know about it?
He gives her a puzzled look.
He was one of the first to be told,why do you ask?
She sighs and closes his eyes.
- Do you know if he's jealous or something? He behaves so strange
He's jealous of the new game, you have well noticed. He's pissed that we're not as popular as the new.
I feel a relief in the body for about a minute ago; I thought it was unfortunately, because of me he was jealous over.
- So he is not jealous of me to meet the new guys from Roadblasters then?
- No, I think not, why would he be the?
Teddy looks questioningly at me.
-i don't know, forget it

It was evening in the arcade, the night of consecration party would be, I, Ted and Teddy would go But Turbo come along, he lay in his bed and sulk, none of us had been able to persuade him to come when he's decided then you cannot, get him to change his mind. But we should at least go to the party, with or without him.
- Teddy, you have way my lipstick?
- The pink or purple?
- The pink!
- The Agency, I believe
- Okay. thanks
- Do my hips large in this?
- No, you look absolutely perfect!
When we were finally ready, I'd go check out Turbo, the door was closed, and the light was off when I entered. I fumbled in the dark to find their way to the bed. I could make out some black outlines in one corner of the bed. His bright yellow eyes looked tired to me. I lay down beside him and stroked his hand through his messy black hair.
- Ensure that you do not want to come?
He shakes his head and pressed against the wall
- Ok. ... I say and sit up
He grabs my hand.
-please don't leave me
I can feel my cheeks become red, i pull my hand away from his grip and gives him a weak smile.
I will not leave you, promise.
I get up from the bed walked to door.
I'll see you later, ok? He gave me a sad look before i shut the door.

It was the biggest party in the game hall history. Everybody from the arcade was where!. MR and MS Pacman, Mario and Luigi, Sonic, Ralph and Felix
The music boomed from the big speakers.
I I WISED TURBO WAS HERE ,HE MISSES ALL FUN!
Teddy calls out to me.
-VA ? ! I CAN NOT HEAR YOU THE MUSIC IS TOO HIGH !, I scream BACK.
I noticed that one of roadblasters guys looked at me .it was him I had met the day before. I went to him, he took my hand and kissed it
I am allowed a dance?
I does not answer before he took me away on the dance floor. He held me firm grip on my hips me and stroked his fingers through, my hair (he smelled strongly of alcohol) he said something, but the volume of the music drowned his voice.
-WHAT?!
I shout, but the next second he pressed me against his lips. his breath made me feel sick, he pressed me against him. I tried to look myself out of his grip but he pushed me even harder. I could not breathe; vapors from his mouth rose up through the nose. I was about to puke. I felt suddenly someone was standing behind me and finally he broke the kiss I pulled hastily Inn air, burned my lips, and glanced behind the axle. It was Turbo !. His yellow eyes glowed with despair and hatred. He showed his yellow teeth in an angry grimace. I tried to say something, but he just walked away into the darkness without saying anything. And I never saw him again.
