"So what did your mother tell you about her background? You know her maiden name?" Ondine asked.

"This is my first true relationship," admitted Sapphire, "So I'm a little new at this and getting used to it too."
~~~~~
"Oh ho! I will, eventually," Boost chuckled, revving his engine and took off after Phoenix.
~~~~~
"Only that she says that uh... the one I don't want to call 'Dad' , took her away from her family and kept her from seeing anybody else," said Ebony, "He basically controlled her life is what she's told me."

"Thats good. Then we won't know if we screw up at something." Kitt chuckled.
~~~~~
"Yeah but not this time, I 'might' let ya catch me!" Phoenix laughed happily as Boost chased after her.

"Let's not worry about screwing up and just have a good time," said Sapphire, "The bonfire party is time to relax and we'd have time to get to know each other better."
~~~~~
Boost continued to chase after Phoenix and he was very tempted to use his nitrous to catch up to her.
"You 'might'? Now that's a challenge I'd take," laughed Boost.

"And so that we can escape torment I suggest we stay close to the fire." Kitt suggested. "A family friend Neil, he conciders himself a 'uncle'. He's that silver and black Shelby Mustang with the bad eye. He has a habit on picking on me or my cousin, Phoenix."
~~~~~
"Oh really," Phoenix said playfully. "Then see you can take it."

"What does he do to you and Phoenix?" asked Sapphire.
~~~~~
"I'm always ready to take on a challenge," answered Boost, as he sped up.

Ondine made a face. "Not a very pleasant picture. I imagine that after several years of that, she wasn't in very good mental shape to look out for herself, let alone several children."
"Almost sounds like my stepfather." Darcy scowled.
"Well, I can imagine those two rolling dumpsters would have a lot in common." Mike's expression was stone-cold.
Johnny and Trav had stopped their wrestling by now and perked their side-views at the mention of abusive partners. "What? Another scumbag?"

"He likes to play jokes and just teases us, like calling me Ikkle Kittitens and just embarass us in public." Kitt said. "And he likes to sneak up on ya and he'll honk at you. Sometimes he uses this foghorn of his."
~~~~~
Phoenix smirked as he sped up. "And you know I'm not gonna make this easy."

"He uses a foghorn?" asked Sapphire, "Now that would be a little bit more annoying than embarrassing to me."
~~~~~
"Like I said, I'm ready for the challenge," replied Boost.
~~~~~
"And I understand now why I and my brothers ended up the way we did too," said Ebony, "but, at least, Mom's gotten herself away from that sorry excuse of a husband of hers."
She paused, "Although, I'd like to see him pulling Bessie. It'd be like some long-awaited revenge for what he put us all through.
(((((OOC: Hmmm... what if, to stir up trouble, Ebony's father came to town, looking for his children, but with a different motive than Melody's?)))))

"Yeah that foghorn of his is annoying. But it scares the bolts loose when he uses it to wake ya up." Kitt said. "And Phoenix once went a ways and crushed it. But he found a much louder one. He thinks he's a little kid still."
~~~~~
Phoenix smilied slyly and speed up, waiting for the right moment.

<<< Greed would be a good motivator, Ebony. An inheritance or news of Ebony's affiliation with Zed's crew might draw him out of the woodwork>>>
"He could keep my stepfather company." Darcy snorted.

"Well, haven't you ever thought of getting back at him?" asked Sapphire, "Like teach him a lesson so he won't think about doing it again?"
~~~~~
Boost used just a tiny bit of nitrous to catch up to Phoenix. He was starting to sense that she was planning something.
~~~~~
"That's probably all that he is good for," agreed Ebony, "He doesn't deserve my Mom or us kids. Greed is what drives him, though, and I'm a little bit afraid of meeting him if he ever comes here."

"We all have," Kitt said. "Phoenix has come close but hasn't been able to. Even though he's blind on one side, he has the senses of a tuner almost."
~~~~~
Phoenix grinned as Boost caught up with her and slammed on her brakes suddenly dropping back behind him, a old stunt maneuver.

"Hmmm," Sapphire thought for a moment, "Have you tried asking a real tuner to do that? They're really good at sneaking up on people without them knowing it."
~~~~~
"Wha-?" Boost blinked several times as Phoenix suddenly braked, letting him shoot forward. Just what was going on?

"No I haven't, I could probably ask Boost about it." Kitt said. "That might work, put they'll have be real quiet about it.
~~~~~
Phoenix laughed. "I told you so!" And turned towards town to see if she could beat him back to the diner before he caught her.
