"Ah so you're not one of those 'high-matienence girls' are ya. Those are the ones that really understand all that lawyerness." Neil grinned. "He at least made a good choice then."
Kitt nodded. "Yes, sir. Kitt-Kitt Streamliner."
~~~~~
"Understandable," Phoenix said. "Lets go see him then. I can deal if any of the riff-raff says anything."

"I'm a racecar," replied Sapphire, "I can deal with the really tough and gritty stuff out on the racetrack, but I'm also intelligent enough to understand the legal issues to a certain degree, although I usually let my sponsor deal with that stuff. But it's interesting."
~~~~~
Boost nodded, "Yeah. Edison's probably our best bet right now. And I don't care what those prisoners say either. Let's go."

"Oh, I've seen you around with Phoenix, and I figured you were one of her relations, but I wasn't quite sure how related." Strip relaxed a little. "Hey, I don't bite, unless it's Tony Blitz, and he's enjoying the hospitality of an impound in New York right now."

"And Kitty's one of the best," Neil said. "He's good in court as Nix, Phoenix, is at racing."
~~~~~
"Yes Sir, she's my younger cousin, second. Born and raised in Manhattan." Kitt nodded, relaxing a bit. "And its-its guys like Blitz that can give us a bad rap. Not-not all us New Yorkers are bad."
~~~~~
"Right behind ya," Phoenix said as she followed Boost to the Impound.

"I know lots of good people from New York," Strip nodded. "And Phoenix is a good sort. I'm pleased to meet you, Kitt." he extended his tire in the manner of one who had lived in a stock-modded state for decades, with no other appendages to offer. "Pardon my dirty tire."
The "guests" of the impound made themselves heard as they saw Boost and Phoenix approaching, mostly with lewd propositions and catcalls. Skippy, the Humvee who was watching them in the absence of Lyle and Huntress, glared them back into silence.

"Well, that's good," nodded Sapphire, "You're good at what you like to do is what I like to believe in. Kitt's a good guy to have."
~~~~~
Ignoring the prisoners, Edison Axle perked up when Boost and Phoenix approached the Impound.
"Hey, what brings you two here?" asked the pace car.

"He is, once he gets past the nerves, suttering, and the occasional klutzy moment." Neil said. "One time drove straight intoa pole."
~~~~~
"Nice to meet ya Sir." Kitt said taking the tire and gave it a good shake, not bothered by the dirt. "And I'm use to it, I grew up around racers in the family."
~~~~~
Phoenix took a second to glare at the ones who catcalled at her than turned to Edison. "We wanted to ask ya something. You have twins right?"

"Well, I don't see nothing wrong with that," replied Sapphire, "I like that about him because that's what makes him Kitt."
~~~~~
"Yeah, Mia and Tia," answered Edison, then added with a smirk, "Although, I bet you still can't tell them apart. So what reasons did you bring up my girls for? You got something to ask me?"

"It does. Though don't let him get to much to drink at Chrylsmas party," Neil chuckled. "Do I have some stories If the stuntcar had a chance to embarrass Kitt in front of his new girlfriend, he was going to milk it as long as he could.
~~~~~
Phoenix nodded. "With Ebony in term with twins we want to cheer her up, cause she seems a little unhappy. What you do for your wife when she was carrying your daughters?"

"I do recall hearing of the name, might even have raced with one or two Streamliners in the 70's." Strip settled across from Kitt. "I think there was one race in New Hampshire, about '74 I think, I was up against one of'em. We almost had a tie for first place."
Skippy listened with interest as Edison talked with Boost and Phoenix... he had heard of Ebony's situation, but only second-hand.
Hunter brushed past Ondine and Darcy and rubbed up against Ebony's bumper. "He's been missing you," Ondine noted.

Sapphire smirked, "Oh, that's not likely going to happen. It rarely does at some of the parties that Dinoco holds that I have gone to."
~~~~~
"My wife?" Edison paused for a few moments, remembering his recently deceased Joanna, "Well... I do recall that I treated her like a queen... like she was the most important thing on the planet... I let her know that I loved her and that I would do anything for her if she so asked me. That made her feel special and loved. Ebony, I think, would feel the same way if that treatment was bestowed upon her. Does that help?"
~~~~~
"Hunter..." Ebony smiled a bit and reached down to stroke the kit, "I missed you too. I was so lonely without you. Where'd you go off to?"

"Probably was my dad, Wilton, he raced for a bit, but stopped." Kitt said. "And Phoenix's father, Chase, was more of the cross country distance racer than anything. He ran a lot of Cannonball runs."
~~~~~
Neil pouted rather childishly. "Then what kind of parties are they. You should come to the next party I have. They lossen you up."
~~~~~
"It does," Phoenix said. "Thanks, now we have a better idea of what we need to do for Ebony. Don't we?" She said turning to Boost.

(((((OOC: Sapphire's not making it easy for Neil, is she...? XD)))))
"I loosen up at the Dinoco parties," replied Sapphire, "It's where I don't have to worry about running a race and just spending some time with family and friends and having a good time. At the last party, my friend, Leslie, and I got into some mischief and caused a great ruckus. Her dad was mad at her afterwards, but I told Buck it was my idea. I took the blame for the entire thing."
~~~~~
"You guys take care now and tell Ebony I wish her well," Edison replied, as the couple left.
"We will," Boost answered back. He then turned to Phoenix and nodded, "Yep, we do. Maybe we can make tomorrow "Queen for a Day" for Ebony. She'll probably like it."

"Ah so you do know how to have fun," Neil smirked. "I have a feeling that you and Phoenix could find all kinds of trouble."
~~~~~
"She would love it," Phoenix said. "When was the last time someone took care of her like that?"

Leslie raised her head as she heard her name mentioned. Even at the other end of the lot, she could hear conversations.
"Ooh, your last shining moment at the company party." Treece grinned smugly, recalling their father's tongue lashing of Leslie with some not-so-subtle sisterly sadism.
"Oh, shaddup!" Leslie growled.
"So how is your dad these days?" Strip asked. He'd had no idea what had become of Wilton. He hadn't been the fastest or most naturally talented car around, but he was a tenacious competitor, game for any challenge, and often, that was enough to carry him to a podium finish. Strip had great respect for that sort of character.
