12/10/14: Hello, everyone! Sorry that I haven't been available for some time. I've been busy with schoolwork and my exams are on the horizon. So I might not be available throughout next week. Due to this, I will try to push out another chapter this week, if possible. Anyway, I wish to thanks those who've viewed my story as I've gotten 88 views as of this month. BTW, there might be some altered dialogue with this story, as your main Online character is technically silent in the game., but I'm giving mine a lot of freedom. Shoutout to those who've left OC reviews as some of them will be included in later chapters. Thank you so much! Now on with the story.

Chapter 2: Welcome to Los Santos

Time: 10:30 pm; Los Santos, San Andreas

I wake up a few minutes before the time I initially hoped for. I check my phone and it's 10:30 pm at night. As I adjust my body to stretch out, I hear the pilot over the intercom saying, "We are now entering Los Santos Airspace. We hope that you've enjoyed the trip. Thanks for flying on FlyUS." As the plane flys over Los Santos, I look at the window to catch a glimpse of the city and I'm fascinated by the sights; Then I think to myself, "I could see myself staying here a bit longer." Not long after, the plane lands and I manage to leave the airport.

So I'm waiting for Lamar to get here to pick me from here and I see a car coming up. Relieved, I then said, "Finally, the cavalry has shown up!" Then, I hear Lamar say, "What it do, you big ol' pimp you?"

"Hey there, Lamar. Never thought this would actually happen!"

Lamar laughs and says, "I see you up in this motherfucker now, huh? That's what I'm talking about come here, come holla at your boy. Man, it's good to finally meet you."

"The feeling is way mutual, my man!"

"After all that time on LifeInvaders, we friends in real life, huh? Look at you, dude… You're like much smaller than you looked in your picture. But fuck it, it don't matter." Said Lamar.

"Yeah, thanks for saying that. By the way, where are we going?" I said.

"Uh, yeah. We're going to North Los Santos. Going to do a race, my homie. With all the drifting, bumper crashing and all that shit." After that, he gives me a pistol and talks about some connections he has in the city, mentioning some guy named Simeon (who's some weird car dealer) and Hao, some mechanic Lamar called up to set us up for a race in Northern Los Santos.

While Lamar was driving, I took some sights of Uptown LS. I've got to admit, the Oriental Theater really looks good despite it being old! Vinewood must be doing something right, if they could do the same thing with those shitty TV shows and those crappy, "poor-excuse budget" films they've been releasing.

Lamar and I finally arrive at our location and we park close to the area where the race will begin.

"Yeah dog, this the spot right here. Go post up right there real quick while I make this call. We gonna get you a car or something to race in or stare at the back of my shit in cause you gonna eat my dust, punk."

"Yeah, yeah, keep talking, Lamar. We'll see whose last." I replied with a smug smirk.

Now don't get me wrong, I've done races before in my life back when I was in high school. Really wasn't the best driver on the block, but before I came down to Los Santos, I went into underground races in LC. Won a bunch of money and lost some on racing bets. Guess it was the need for speed.

So a couple of drivers come by and allow me to pick a vehicle to choose from. Well, Lamar's car is a four-door, so I would need something fast to outrace this fool. I then proceeded to pick out a red Vapid Stanier. From what people say, the Vapid Stanier is really reliable on tuning, turning, flexibility, and all that jazz.

So afterwards, we begin racing. Apparently, we're supposed to race from Eclipse Boulevard, through Rockford Plaza, past the golf club, and back. I am really going to smash out my windows if Lamar wins, that or flip him off.

We park out cars at the starting lines and a girl in skimpy, jean shorts with a white tanktop on comes out. She's carrying two white flags in both of her hands. We both then start our engines as the adrenaline rushes through both our veins. Then the race begins.

"Right up here, homie. I'm about to go nice and slow for yo bitch-ass!" said Lamar, with a cocky persona.

"Okay, then. Watch and see who's in charge!" I said with some smugness in my tone.

So we move uphill and I'm trying to dodge traffic as best as I can. Unfortunately, my car catches a few scratches and bumps from narrowly crashing into other cars, but I manage to catch up to Lamar.

"Okay, so now you want me to start trying to catch up?" Lamar said with surprise.

"Yeah, try harder, son." I said with enthuasism.

Lamar and I are nearby the gulf club and I see him catching up. Then an idea sparked up in my head. I noticed a car nearby and I performed a Pit maneuver to knock out Lamar, who was probably less than 3 feet away.

"Really, Thom? Alright, I see how you do."

"Hey, it's called looking around your environment, bro."

I make a few turns around a couple blocks and I finished first amongst us. Afterwards, I park my car and Lamar parks his.

"Yeah, yeah. If you don't get off my phone with this bullshit. Man, some people are so clingy." Said Lamar as he got off the phone.

"Hey yo, that race was damn good."

"I know, right? Hey, you trying to make some cheese? My boy, Gerald aka "G". He's trying to look for somebody lowkey right now. And to be 1000, I'm thinking you. Look, there's a big exchange of merchandise going down. The Vagos and the Ballas are squashing their 'cultural differences' or what the fuck ever. Anyway, why don't you go down there and shake up the free market economy a little bit and get some cheese."

So I readily depart for the job Lamar told me. Well, I guess I'm learning the ropes…

And that's the end of Chapter 3. I recently made a decision to update the story 1-2 weeks, if possible. Given the DLC's added to GTA Online, all the weapons, clothes, and so on will be included in the story. Also, to those who've been reading my story, I wish to say this. Thanks for your continued support over the weeks, along with those who've managed to put up with the story not being updated in quite a while. As for the reviewers who've kept up, I will feature your OC's 2-3 chapters within the story, less if possible. Thank you all and Godspeed. (12/13/14)
