Prompt from oOStarryEyedOo: Toy Cars


It starts with a loud noise, like a gunshot, but less real. More like a pop.

"AAAAND THEY'RE OFF!" Percy's voice, with a weird 1920's announcer accent, booming through a microphone. "R2D2 is in the lead, with Doc and Galactica following behind!"

"Let's go Galactica!"

"C'mon R2!"

"Doc! Doc! Doc!"

Assorted voices, as if there's a large crowd.

"R2D2 is falling behind, with Galactica right behind him, and, oh, he's done it, Galactica is in the lead! R2D2 is in second, with Doc trailing behind."

"DOC! C'MON, DOC!"

"Rrrrrrrrr2!"

"Gal-ac-ti-ca! Gal-ac-ti-ca!"

"Galactica starts his second lap, R2D2 right behind. Doc's catching up, and, yes, he has crossed the lap! One more to go, folks!"

"R2D2! YOU GOTTA WIN THIS, BABY!"

"Grover, calm down."

"No! I will not calm down, that's MY CAR up there! He has to win!"

"And as Galactica reaches the next turn, R2D2 right behind, Doc is catching up! Galactica makes the turn, Doc shoves R2D2 right out of the way!"

"Nooo—!" A wacking sound cut off Grover's wail.

"Galactica is about to reach the lap mark, yes, yes he's done it! Galactica has won! Doc in second, and R2D2 right behind!"

A faint sobbing could be heard in the background.

"Oh, Grover, man up... It's just a toy car race..."

The sobbing only grew louder.
