Chapter 5

"Are you sure about this?" Victoria asked nervously as the car pulled up to the air strip.

"Of course I am sure. Besides, I wasn't about to play scavenger hunt with Tamaki's stupid bear. This is much more exciting!" Rose replied, still quite angry at Victoria. Victoria made no reply. The car came to a halt and Rose quickly got out of the car and joined the group which had followed them. Not only had the Host Club wanted to see the spectacle but their guests did too. That being the case Kyoya had proclaimed their club meeting to be at the air strip. After all with the increase of interested guests they would get many more customers.

"Are you sure?" Haruhi asked, "It doesn't seem safe. Planes do crash you know. Besides these are expensive jets!"

"Please," Rose said confidently, "We both have pilots licenses and these jets are legally ours! That being said we can do whatever we want to with them."

"That's true," Kyoya said, "They were gifts to the girls on their 16th birthdays. Each jet cost roughly 5 million dollars each."

"Hey! How do you know so much? That's private business!" Victoria was very suspicious.

Kyoya only gave her a devils smile and said, "I have my ways." Dismissing Kyoya's wide range of knowledge Rose began to walk into the private airport.

"Now since you guys are not authorized on the strip I would recommend that you stay in the parking lot. You will know when Victoria and I begin racing the planes." After her statement Victoria and Rose soon made their way in through the airport doors. The Host Club and their guests were left to observe their race from outside the strip.

"Rose you don't need to be so stubborn!" Victoria silently hissed at her friend. "For pete's sake Rose knock it off!"

"I'm sorry, I don't take orders from the likes of you." Rose boldly stated and then strode off two paces ahead of Victoria. Leaving her friend to silently fume. Checking in was no problem and the airport staff soon had the two jets ready.

"Your pilots are waiting for you. Where are you planning to fly today?"

"Thank you but we won't be in any need of pilots. Today we are planning to put our pilots licenses into action. We won't be going far. Our plan was to stay within the region." Rose replied.

"Very well then. I will inform the tower of your plans. The pilots will be dismissed immediately." With that the staff left. Victoria and Rose then made their way to the strip. Before entering into their planes Victoria asked.

"So what's our course?"

"Do you see that tower over there?"

"Yes."

"We fly there and then circle it three times at about a half mile radius. Then whoever touches down onto the airstrip first wins."

"When does the race begin? After all the tower won't let us both take off at the same time." Victoria pointed out.

"That's not my problem. I will take off when I want to take off. Besides, they wouldn't be too keen on having us race either." Rose said with a grin. As Victoria protested their plan once again Rose shut her out and made her way into the cockpit. Victoria then did the same seeing as how her friend would not back out of their dangerous plan.

Victoria was cleared for take off first while Rose was commanded to wait. Yet just as Rose had said she would She turned to the landing side of the airstrip and took off from their. The tower, obviously upset, commanded Rose to stop her nonsense. There was vehement cursing as she took off into the sky. Victoria couldn't believe that she was involved in such a stupid idea. But if this was the only way to settle their dispute then so be it. The two planes were high in the air and going at high speeds. Both jets were making their way to the tower.

Rose was slightly ahead of Victoria but Victoria was confident that she would be able to sneak up from behind Rose when the first turn came at the tower. As Rose approached the tower, she began to turn. "Ha-ha!" Victoria smirked as she passed Rose. Rose, upset sped up in hopes of gaining the small amount of ground which was lost moments ago. Victoria also increased speed, giving no leeway to her friend.

"There is no way Victoria is beating me." Rose said. She put the pedal to the metal and passed Victoria with ease. Victoria decided that it would be best if she allowed Rose to think she was winning, Than unexpectedly, she would take the lead at the last turn. This strategy was working out quite well. The second turn came and rose remained in the lead.

"What's wrong with Victoria's plane? She should be trying to beat me." Rose said. "Oh well, that makes it so much easier to win!" She added with a smile. Then came the third turn. Rose looked to her right. As Victoria passed, She smiled and waved. Then floored it and made the third turn before Rose. She went down for a landing. Rose was determined to beat her as she sped up. They were pretty even but Victoria touched down just a few seconds before Rose. Rose cursed as her plane touched the ground, knowing she'd been beat.

Victoria stepped out of the plane with her hands in the air, an arrogant look upon her face. Rose sat in her plane dumb founded. As Victoria made her way to the parking lot she could here the host club cheering for the winner. Rose watched from the cockpit.

"I'm done with Victoria. I'm done Japan. I want to go back to back home!" She said. Without a second thought Rose took off again, this time headed in the direction of the US. The plane would have to fly her as far as it could take her.

"Crap. Shes taking off again!" The people in the tower said before calling on Rose's plane. "This is tower control. You do not have clearance. Plane 144 I repeat you do not have clearance." Rose ignored there requests and continued on.

Victoria ran back to her plane and started the engine. "What is she doing?" The tower cried in disarray.

"Come on Rose. You are always a sore loser." Victoria mumbled to herself. She began to make her way down the run way but a beeping noise sounded on her plane. "Out of gas? Your kidding me!" With the small amount that she had left Victoria pulled out of the runway.

"What happened?" Asked Tamaki when Victoria stepped out of the plane. "Out of gas." Victoria grumbled. "No problem." Kyoya said, taking out his cell. "Leave it to me. My family police happened to be stationed nearby. We will send jets out to catch Rose. After all, she still has a debt to pay." Sure enough only about two or three minutes later three jets were sent out for retriving Roses plane. It did not take them long to catch up with the run a way girl. Contacting her radio Kyoya's police told her to follow them. "Why should I?" Rose saucily replied.

"If you don't we will issue order 1586 for leaving the country without permission."

"You will have to catch me first!"

"To late." They said as a fourth plane caused Rose to be boxed in. "We have you surrounded." Back on the ground the host club all waited for Kyoya's police to bring Rose back. When they did Rose was pulled out of her plane and held by the arms by several police. They brought her over to Kyoya and Victoria who looked upon her with great amusement. Victoria took no guilt in snapping a picture of her friend with her phone.

"Stupid police. What is with you Kyoya do you think I am a criminal? There was no need for police." Rose complained.

Kyoya just sent her the devil's grin while Victoria giggled. Rose, utterly defeated from the events simply grumbled that it was time to be getting home.
