Chapter 20

Rodimus Convoy soared through the skies of Speedia, often going into a roll or loop of some sort for his amusement, and the amusement of his only passenger. Lori laughed in exhilaration as he dived, pulling up at the last possible moment. They glided inches above the pavement of one of Speedia's highways, and then touched down as Rodimus shifted into his racecar form and began to drive. Lori didn't feel a single bump.

"Nice transition," she complimented. "I didn't feel a thing."

"I'm just as fast on or under water too," Rodimus told her. "No need to let Chromia have an advantage."

"Advantage?" Lori snorted. "Some advantage, considering what I did to her on Gigalonia." Rodimus laughed as well. It was early in the morning, so the highway was almost bare. A few early morning Speedians were already hitting the pavement, but no one bothered Rodimus and Lori. At least, no one until…

"Hey! Who are you?"

A white, blue, and orange Transformer drove up next to them. Rodimus laughed, "Long time, no see, Skids."

Skids almost skidded off the road (Author's Note: No pun intended). "You know me?" he gasped.

"Yes, we do," Lori answered.

"My name is Rodimus Convoy. I've heard a lot about you from Coby and Lori," Rodimus said.

"Oh. Why are Coby and Lori here?" Skids asked.

"We're here for a little Rest and Relaxation," Lori answered. "Rodimus is here to get his butt whooped in a race or two."

"Hey! I resemble that!" Rodimus laughed.

"Well, if you want, you three could stay at my place. Autolander gave it to me after he left," Skids offered.

"Okay. Thanks, Skids, we know the way," Lori replied.

"Do you know where Exiguiser is?" Rodimus asked.

"Probably at the Planet Cup Track," Skids answered. "He likes that layout. I was just heading there myself. He was going to teach me some technique."

"A good idea," Rodimus said. "Could you put any racing on hold until I get there?"

"Sure," Skids said. "See you there!" He drove off, heading for Velios.

"Why can't I come?" Lori asked. "I want to see how well you do."

"No one is supposed to know that I'm both Coby and Rodimus, Lori," Rodimus answered. "I can't be in two places at once."

Lori sighed. She didn't like it, but he was right. "Okay. I'll stay at Skids' place." This time, she added to herself. She didn't like being left out.

"Tell you what," Rodimus said, "As soon as I get back, we'll go for a drive wherever you want."

"I'd like to go shopping, but I don't think they have anything a Human could use on Speedia," Lori laughed.

Rodimus mentally rolled his eyes, "You and your hobbies. Okay, I'll let you fly me for a while."

"Deal!" she exclaimed, excited. She was the only person her age who could legally fly any craft, Human or Transformer, and the idea of being at Rodimus Convoy's controls sparked her imagination.

Rodimus sighed. I get the feeling I'm going to regret saying that, he thought to himself.
