"Heh! I'd love the extra tire, Slick. Since we've got time before race day.... how about we try out a few of them," said Kamui to Slick in a low tone.
She had out her trademark devilish grin out.

Slick grinned too, almost matching Kamui's grin.
"How about we loosen the bolt of his trailer?" Slick said, "Then expand from there? I don't want him to think that he was being pranked. I'd like to see a little bit of confusion from him."

"Oh! Messing with his mind? I'm cool with that! Loosening bolts, misplacing his pitties tools, and maybe some outside forces like a certain cPod wielding dump truck I saw near here as the grand finaly," said Kamui with a grin.
(OOC: cPods = like iPods. XD )

"Watch it out there, Jim." Jimmie perked up when Chad's voice came over his radio. "Looks like the 86-er's here."
Jimmie frowned, hissing out, "That son of a street sweeper. Still can't believe what he did to his driver. How is Jake, anyway?"
"Oh, they found him a new job t'drive for. He's still workin' for Zedd, but he's being contracted out to a new racer under Tron Inc... Angie Carrera, I think her name is." Chad paused. "Keep your wits about you, Jim. You ran good last year. Let's see you win a Piston Cup this year!"
"Oh, I'm on it, Chad..." Jimmie revved his engine playfully. "Make no mistake about that!"
Angie started a bit when the truck finally stopped near her pit area. This was it... her first time out of the amateur league. It was so exciting... and yet, at the same time, terrifying. "You holdin' up okay, Jake?"
"I'm jes' fine, Miss Angie," the Sterling rig replied cheerfully. "Glad t'be helpin' out."
Angie couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, let's give ol' Chick an eyeful, then... maybe this'll teach him how he should really treat a driver!"
Smiling still, the little Monte Carlo stocker rolled out onto the pavement, stretching and shaking out her tires.

Phoenix slowly pulled off the track to let Jet tighted her supsension. She wanted off the track before Chick got on.
Jet finished and looked her over. "You still have time before qualifiying go, go spend some time with Boost. You might need to save him from Neil."
Phoenix laughed and worked her way over to where she'd left Boost.
"Hey." She said pulling up.

"Sapphire," said her sister over her radio, "be careful. Chick's around, but don't let him get to you."
"Well, Sis, if he tries anything, I'll break his axle," growled the cobalt blue stocker, "After what he did to Dad and to poor Jake..."
"Don't do anything drastic, okay? I don't want you to get disqualified," answered Amber, "In fact, Jake's doing okay. I just saw him and he looks happier now."
"Well, good thing he was able to get a job with Zed when he did," replied Sapphire, "I'm happy for him. Who's he hauling now?"
"Angela Carrera," replied Amber, "And it looks like he's happy with her."
"Well, that's great," replied Sapphire, "The best of luck to them both this season."
"Better get a move on, Sis," said Amber, "I see more racers joining the pack."
"Gothchya," replied the stocker as she sped up.
~~~~~~~~~~
Boost was doing his best to remain calm around Neil.
Then he smiled when Phoenix pulled up.
"Hey," he said back.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Sounds like a plan, Kamui," Slick grinned at his girlfriend.

Jake bade his new employer a wave as she headed out onto the track, making sure to wish her luck in her first pro race. He knew she'd see Lightning out there, but was unaware if he knew Sally's stepmother. That was okay, though... friendly rivalries were often what drove the racers.
He gave a shudder when he saw Chick and the htB crew, doing his best to remain unseen by them. Even in his new colors, almost all black with a white stripe across his hood proclaiming the Tron Inc. team's logo, he was still the same ol' Jake.
Out on the track, Jimmie pulled up next to Sapphire, revving his engine playfully. "Hey there, girl!" he called. "You look like you're ready to go!"
If there was one thing Jimmie was not, it was unfriendly to his fellows. He always liked to extend a good luck wish to them before each race, and congratulate the winners after.
((I'll be going poof off and on for the next few hours (graphics class), and after that I won't be on until ten. So feel free to puppet whenever I go missing.))

Kamui glanced around for a second before speaking.
"If we do it carefully, we can start now. I wanna save the night for us and have a little alone time together if you get my drift," said Kamui with a bit of a grin.

"Hey, Jimmie!" Sapphire called back, "I'm as ready as I can ever be. How about you?"
~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright," Slick nodded, "he's out on the track now. This gives up the perfect opportunity. Let's go."

Kamui grinned.
"Alright! Let's rock!" said Kamui.
She was careful to make her movements casual and calm as though she and Slick weren't up to anything at all as they made their way to Chick's pit.

"Neil's not sccaring you for life, is he?" Phoenix asked playfully and nuzzling Boost and giving Neil a look.

"About as ready as I'll ever be," the blue and bright yellow stocker replied, grinning. "Don't know if you heard, but my wife and I are expecting... I'll probably miss a couple of races depending on when the baby comes."

Slick was pretending that he was just wandering around and just exploring the place. He made his way over to Chick's trailer with Kamui. The Honda came around the side, keeping himself unnoticed, and took out a screwdriver.
"Operation Mess with Chick now in progress," he whispered to Kamui, smiling conspiratorily.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh, congratulations, Jimmie," replied Sapphire, "Best of luck on being a new father."
She paused for a bit as she listened to her radio, "And Amber gives her congratulations too."
~~~~~~~~~~
"No," Boost shook his front, "he's not scaring me for life."
He then leaned closer to Phoenix, "but I'll tell you later when we're alone."

Jimmie grinned brightly. "Thanks, Sapphire. And tell Amber I said thanks too. Tell ya what, if that kid's anything like me, I'm in for a rough sixteen years." He winked, revving his engine again. "And hey... good luck on the track today."
He paused briefly as they went around one of the turns. "Oh, hey, there's one of this year's rookie. Her name sounded real familiar to me... not the first but the last. Angela Carrera. You know her?"

"We should be tonight." Phoenix said. "Nothing much is going on after everyone settles in."
