(((((OOC: This is the first week time jump.)))))
She had gotten just a little bit bigger over the week and was sleeping a whole lot more because the twins had grown a bit bigger and heavier. She couldn't stay awake for as long as she used to a week ago and wasn't inclined to move about, as she would get exhausted completely and would have to rest.
Ebony was sleeping now, calmer now since Boost had explained to her the reasons for breaking up the DRH. She accepted it now, as she realized that the new lives that she was carrying would not survived in the world that she had lived in.
(((((OOC: And here, I have to leave. I've stayed on long enough. I'll be back tomorrow. Please puppet my characters responsibly. Thanks. Goodnight.)))))

Darcy helped out with Ebony however she could, and kept up with her schoolwork in the meantime, along with Johnny. She had started out doing laps at the Butte by herself, or sometimes with her boyfriend, to learn to better manage herself. She was what she was, and she had to be able to deal with that awakening part of herself that responded to emotional triggers with a snarl. full-out muscle car types could have a very difficult time in adolescence.
The Sikorskys, Buck in particular, had been in and out, particularly with Tex's comings and goings. They tended to stay in the area by Kamui's trailer, since Veronica and David were also there. The "rollers" felt instinctually protective towards the "skids" while they were on the ground.
The Weathers were either at the future camp site or in town, making their plans. Sometimes Strip would go with Doc and Lightning to the dirt track when the red racer re-started training in earnest about mid-week. Doc would only let him do slow laps at present, until he'd built his strength up again.

She wasn't sure about Meredith or Hydro, but Natalie hadn't breathed so much as a word about what Shawn had said in the ravine one week ago. She had focused instead on taking care of Boo when she was asked to, and tenatively gaining the aero hybrid's trust in the form of brief visitations and an occasional drink at Flo's.
The interest was purely social; even if she had the slightest interest, she could tell Shawn wasn't the sort to desire a significant other.
That made him all the more mysterious, though. What was it that drove him to shut that kind of emotion out?
Boo seemed to be expanding the number of people he was attaching himself to. Meredith was the big fixture in that area. The foxdog generally stayed away from the tent community, as he seemed to respect that space as Hunter's territory.

At the end of last week, Phoenix had left for the city to get the first of her racing mods that she would need for circuit racing.
Now the familiar black trailer was returning to its normal spot near the drive in, its occupant now no longer street for the most part.
"Come on Nixie, come out." Jet coaxed. "Neil didn't mean it. He was joking around." He glared at the Mustang.
"Yeah," Neil said. "Its not that bad."
"I'm not coming out," Phoenix growled

It was unfortunate that Boost had to be gone for more than a week, because, in truth, he was out gathering all of the DRH members to give them the news that they were going to be disbanded. This was a delicate process and one in which required the leader's full presence and attention at one of the chosen meeting places. He wasn't going to be back anytime soon.
This had left Ebony almost alone, except for Tempest and Hydro, who both very much agreed with the disbandment. The Enzo was now looking after the invalid Viper, keeping track of Ebony's health levels and the development of the twins.

After much coaxing Phoenix finally left the trailer. Her sideview mirrors had been removed, along with her lights as well, plates covered and sealed where her headlights once were. And while she was under they had fixed what damage she had to her body and given her a new coat of jet black paint.
It was easy to tell that she was quite uncomfortable without her mirrors. But she wondered if Ebony was up and willing to greet her best friend.

At times, Ebony would just want to be by herself in her tent and often asked everyone who was there with her to leave so that she wouldn't be crowded. She was starting to feel more and more uncomfortable as the twins grew and it was only a temporary spell that Tempest had cast to allow her to stay asleep without feeling the discomfort.
When she was awake, Ebony would try to keep herself busy with her literacy course, with some help from Darcy. Her progress in writing seemed to be improving and she was getting more comfortable at each new word she was required to spell. She was also developing an interest in earth science.
The Viper roused from yet another nap, again feeling that discomfort of being in term, and otherwise still sleepy. She had heard a semi trailer roll into town and wondered who that was, but she was too weak to move, so she bided her time in her tent and waited for someone to come visit her.

Phoenix poked her front slowly through the tent flap, "Hey Ebs," She said.

Ebony yawned, still feeling sleepy, but she smiled as Phoenix poked her nose in.
"Hello..." she said in a rather tired voice, "Nice to see you back, Nix..."

"And I'm happy to be back," Phoenix said slowly pulled in. "They took a lot more than I expected."

"For something like becoming a racecar... wouldn't they have to do that...?" asked Ebony, slowly shifting on her mat.

"Yeah, but I didn't know they'll go after my lights and my mirrors, almost seems like when you get a hood cold, I can't hear like I use to." Phoenix said trying to twitch her mirrors. "And they saw fit to give me a new coat too."

"Ugh... not very good for a tuner..." Ebony lay back down, "but as for the headlights... Have you seen Lightning... and Sapphire...? I think Lightning has stickers... and Sapphire has hers covered over... at least that's what I can tell... I haven't seen them that much lately... I suppose they were a little bit uneasy too..."

"Yeah I have," Phoenix said."They took the lights out and covered up with sheet metal. They're leaving the sockets for when I retire so I could have them back."

"So everything isn't lost for good...?" said Ebony, "but I guess there are valid reasons for everything to be taken away..."
