"Shi Long! Watch it, you almost got hit by that car!" Qilin screamed as Shi Long swerved from a car. He smiled seeing that panicked expression as he swerved past another car.

"Don't worry Qilin, I drive like this all the time."

"Then? Drive slower dammit!"

Franziska sat in the front passenger seat as Miles drove.

"Miles Edgeworth, you drive too slow," Franziska remarked exasperatedly.

"Well Franziska, I suggest you take the wheel, but wait, you don't have a driver's licensce," Miles retorted, tired of hearing Franziska's complaints.

Franziska glared at him and touched her belt to where her whip was attached and realized it wasn't there. Fiona took it, she remembered, as she pressed herself against the chair upholstery. That eccentric girl with a heavy Irish accent was rather cunning but not as cunning as Liuxang, she thought.

"By the way Franziska, what was it that Fiona told you that made you so shocked?" Miles asked.

Franziska jolted at remembering the very words that Fiona uttered that blew her cover. Franziska blushed crimson as she clenched her driving belt hard. Miles would have dropped the issue, but he was too much concentrated on the road to notice her discomfort.

"Fiona said that my shoes in slang were called foomi heels, or-or ...um..."

"Or?" Miles turned right to avoid a truck.

"Or ... um ... f-"

"Wait, foomi shoes? What does foomi mean?

"No! I mean ..." Franziska didn't want to mumble, but she really, really, didn't want to say the words.

"Franziska, you're an adult now, stop mumbling," Miles said impatiently.

A flashback of her Papa glaring at her when she still had that speech impediment.

"It was called do me heels or fuck me heels, alright?" Franziska snapped as she remembered Papa.

Hearing profanity from Franziska had never happened before and it caused Miles slammed the brakes and looked at her shocked.

"They are called what?"

Fiona tapped at her pen impatiently. There weren't much patients anymore and she was bored. She saw Hua Tuo crouching to speak to Liuxang under the shade of a tree. She couldn't find his brother, and she was angry at that. He was her boyfriend, why should she be kept in the dark? She marched out of the clinic and went to Liuxang.

"Liuxang, I haven't heard any news from them, how is he?" she demanded as Liuxang continued to lean against the tree, ignoring her probably.

"Liuxang, you should know how worried I am about him," Fiona continued clenching her fists, so that was his angle, ignoring her. What a coward. And a greater jerk.

"Are you even listening to me?" she asked as she glared at Liuxang, his eyes were closed. He was trying to shut her off, wasn't he? It boiled her blood and she tried to count one to ten to cool her temper, in vain.

"Listen when a girl's talking to you!" she seethed and slapped him. Liuxang continued to ignore her and knowing it would be hopeless so she left him there sitting by under the shade of the tree.

Liuxang continued leaning against the tree but the slap was harder than Fiona thought and he slowly tittered to his left side and then he fell.

"So you want me to be a singer?" Kay asked incredously.

"Oh come on Kay, it'll be fun! You did say you want to make a band, right?" Luna asked as she narrowly missed a large boulder.

"Watch it, Luna! Why did you have to have driving lessons from Shifu?" Ralos asked almost hyperventilating from all the dangerous swerves and turns that Luna had done and her almost light-speed pace. He had asthma from his mother, and it was another way to distinguish the twins from each other.

"Why do you want ME to sing? I get stage fright," Kay continued, ignoring Ralos.

"You've got THE voice girl, Ralos could hear you sing forever," Luna replied with a smile.

"We're going to crash with that brick wall!" Ralos shouted.

"Cowabunga, babe!" Luna shouted as she accelerated, in the speed she was in, they could crash into the wall and become smithereens.

"Luna, if we survive this, I'm going to kill you!"

"Luna, what are you doing?" Kay cried as she braced herself for imapact.

"Doing what I was trained to do," Luna replied with a serious smile.

Just meters away from the brick wall, and Luna's eyes shined with excitement and ...seriousness?

Just before they could crash, Luna pressed a button and the brick wall turned ninety degrees, just giving them enough space to squeeze out. Out they launched like a cannonball from a cannon and landed with a thud, probably causing a small tremor.

"Is he safe?" Luna asked as she turned facing Kay who was in the backseat.

"He's safe and unconscious," Kay replied.

"Kay, he's already unconscious since we made this road trip."

"You call this a road trip? A road trip of death maybe," Ralos shot back.

"Ralos, if you dare criticize on my driving, I suggest you take a hike," Luna retorted with a glare.

Ralos grunted and looked at the door.

"Ralos?" Kay asked but Ralos ignored her.

"Ignore him, Kay, he's just processing how he can walk to Pailong districts without blowing his cover or tiring his legs."

But Ralos just stared at the door motionless as ever, like a statue. It was obvious he was hatching up a plan, Luna thought, but knowing Ralos, he wasn't like her doing crazy things, he would always be that nitty-gritty killjoy.

The unconscious man's head was on Kay's lap, not that Ralos was jealous, it was because it would be dangerous to put him in the cargo area, but he did feel a bit envious that he was resting on her lap.

"Look Luna," Kay said forgetting that Luna was driving. She gestured Luna to look at the man's face.

"Yeah, peaceful, isn't he?" Luna remarked.

"What ever happened to Liuxang's brother?"

Luna gripped the steering wheel hard as she remembered what had happened, she saw it happen before her eyes. A pillar was about to fall on her, Ralos and Qilin, but he shielded them from the brunt of the force using himself as a shield, it cost him his consciousness, and he would never wake up. Saving Qilin in vain, Luna saw Qilin die and could hardly believe that she was still alive.

"Luna?" Kay asked.

"Oh, sorry Kay, Liuxang's brother had a pillar fall on him –"

"NO! Luna!"

It was too late, Luna hit the motorcycle that was speeding. It was a good thing that the road was desolate or it could have caused a major accident. It seemed that there were two passengers on the motorcycle and in the sidecar attached to it. They had been tossed to a dirt wall that had fortunately cushioned the impact.

"What the hell?" Shi Long muttered as he rubbed his aching back. Qilin just stared at Luna, who hastily got out of the truck to help them.

"It's you!" Shi Long snarled at Luna.

"Hey, it wasn't intentional! Plus I didn't know it was you, if I did I would have just left you lying here."

"Shi Long, you drive too fast," Qilin sighed.

"Qilin, you're on her side too?"

"If Luna had concentrated on the road this wouldn't have happened," Ralos said wiping away the dust of his clothes, the crashed had ejected him out of the front passenger seat.

"Shut up Ralos, you should have helped me look at the road!" Luna seethed.

"Oh, so it's my fault now?" Ralos retorted.

"What's happening?" Franziska asked as she saw the two wrecked vehicles.

Miles didn't answer, he parked the car at a safe distance and ran to them along with Franziska.

"What happened here?" Miles demanded.

The four faces looked at each other and gave him the version of how the crash happened, at the same time.

"He was speeding ..."

"I was just ..."

"She ignored ..."

"And then Shi Long ..."

"Please!" Miles raised his voice, it quieted them," Let's not act like children, shall we?"

The four looked at him with blank faces, until they all heard a sniffle. Miles remembered the same sniffle from Kay when she learned her father died.

Miles approached the truck quietly.

"Kay?" Miles asked in the same soft voice he used six years ago," Is everything all right?"

Kay sniffled, her eyes filled with panic as she looked at the unconscious man. He was convulsing.

And that was the second time Franziska swore. "Shit."
