Kamui had made her way to the rec area.
GACK! Sally's here! Uh.... er.... HIDE!
She quickly grabbed up some bushes and hide behind them.
Alright! Mission Get-Idiot-Boy-To-Propose is in progress!
Kamui watched and listened. She kept her treads crossed.

"They are. It make no sense as why they not and why you not," said Kyoshi.

Doc rolled his eyes and sighed, "I'd best leave you two kids alone." The Hudson Hornet drove off.
Lightning bit his lip. He had the hood ornament somewhere back in his trailer and forgotten to bring to the banquet. He had this whole plan going that he would propose to Sally in front of everyone here, but it seemed that fate was against him.
But that didn't mean he had to give up.
"Uh... Sally? I have something to show you, but I left it in my trailer," Lightning said rather nervously.
"That's okay, Stickers," replied Sally, "You can show me later."

"It's society that makes it that way," sighed Ebony, "There's supposed to be this certain cliche that you have to be a part of, but tuners have the lowest rank in the system. Everyone else sees us as nothing but trouble-makers and they think that the children would be same as the parents. But that is not true. It's just a very large common misconception that people have about others when they don't even know them too well."
She sighs again and wraps her antenna around the twins, "I hate cliches because that's what sets everyone apart from everyone else. There's no equality in it at all. It annoys me when everyone wants to be blind to this problem."

Ondine came up to Ebony. "I think they're about to start." She waved her antenna at the infants. "In other news, Tex and Strip are working on choosing our company's next racer. They want to get this out of the way by the end of this season."
Buck was back in Miami, and met Veronica and a companion there. He was surprised to see that this was the LEO who had stopped by the helicopter compound at Palm Mile. The Agusta woman, if anything, seemed a little more upbeat and curious than she had been a few days earlier. And she had brought a few cast-off items that had belonged to a certain Lt. Kim.
"Yes, this will do nicely." Veronica grinned in anticipation. "I'm not gonna HURT him any, mind you, but he's not going to be a problem for Kamui and Ebony any more."
"Whatever." Buck whuffed. "I don't want to know, OK?"

"Oh, that's right. I always thought it would be Sapphire," said Ebony, "She's Strip's daughter, but she has a different sponsor. I just wonder who it is."

(((Ugg, back from work.)))
"Really," Kitt asked. "And may ask, what it is?"
~~~~~
"I understand, she was sick." Phoenix said. "It's not like it was my last race, and there'll be plenty of races for you guys to watch."

"I just... don't feel so victorious," explained Sapphire, "So many things have happened besides winning the Piston Cup. Harassment from Norman. Amber getting kidnapped and then we discover she's in term, which, for me, would not be a good thing. I'm happy for her, really, but I would be without a crew chief in the next month or so. Kamui's offered to let me borrow Nightshade, but I really don't want to take him away from her. I just... don't know what to do..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hopefully she'll be well enough to come to one of them," said Boost, "But we can always watch it on television if we can't make it to the real thing."

"I can't say much right now, but who they've got an eye on may surprise you." Ondine grinned conspiratorially. She glanced back at Tex and Strip, who had gone off on their own and were talking quietly in a corner.

Kitt though for a moment. "My grandfather still keeps contact with his old racing buds, we could call one of them up to be your crew chief. If not... Maybe I can fill in until we find someone."
~~~~~
"I hope so, and when the twins are old enough they might like to come and watch too." Phoenix said.

"Oh, wonderful. Something tells me that look you've got that something's going on," Ebony rolled her eyes, "Oh, c'mon, please, Ondine, just one tiny little hint. You know I don't like to be kept in the dark about things and I hate surprises."
Slaytor rubs her side, "Just be patient, Darlin'. You'll know soon enough."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well, I think it wouldn't hurt to ask them," said Sapphire, then she leans closer, "but if you are willing to keep me abreast of what's happening on the track while I'm racing... I wouldn't mind..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That is, if Ebony stops being so overprotective of them," replied Boost, "She hasn't let them out of her sight for a second since that night at Miami. But I'm surprised she's letting that Kyoshi-girl close to them."

"Then it would be my pleasure then to fill in for as long as you want me to." Kitt said. "Gives me a excuse at work to spend more time with ya."
~~~~~
"Yeah, Kyoshi. I don't know about you, but her being all 'fan-girly' like that almost feels like an act." Phoenix said. "Like she wants to get close to her opponets and trying not to pass as a threat."

"You're not shirking your work for me, are you?" asked Sapphire, "because, otherwise, who should I go to if I have a legal case on my tires that I want taken care of?" She smiles a bit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "But it looks like she's getting all 'fan-girly' on Ebony and the twins," observed Boost, "and Ebony doesn't even race in the circuit." (((((OOC: May be slow. Watching my Cars DVD. ^^; ))))

"Hey, I could be 'KnightLawyer' Crew chief by day, lawyer by night." Kitt chuckled. "Besides I think I should start up my own firm, go off on my own."
~~~~~
"Well the twins are cute." Phoenix said. "Most everyone can't help but go 'Aww' over them."

"Haha... very funny, Kitt," Sapphire laughed, "For some reason I find it amusing picturing you in a cape and a mask. Anyway, starting up your own business is a good idea. But you'd need the money to do that."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"They are cute, especially when they're laying against their mother like that," Boost pointed to the twins curled up against Ebony, while she talked with Ondine and Kyoshi.

"I'll give you one hint." Ondine smiled. "The esteemed Mr. Hicks is NOT going to like this."

"It's what I've been saving for these last few years." Kitt shrugged. "Though I might not be able to afford one in Manhattan anytime soon. I was thinking about taking it more out west, maybe in Radiator Springs."
~~~~~
"Yeah," Phoenix said. "The image of a great mother. She's a good mom to them."
