Kitt pulled over to where Sapphire was. "I take it you're hungry after your practice?"

"Yeah," Sapphire nodded, "Ebony here knows of a nice little corner cafe that's run by tuners that welcomes everyone no matter who or what they re. Basically, it's the only place she feels comfortable in Smasherville. She's been getting a lot of hostilility from those who are discriminate and has a prejudice against tuners."

"Lead the way, madam." Strip grinned. "We'll be right behind ya."
<<< Doing housecleaning and dinner, that's why so slow again today >>>

"I'm all in for it," Kitt said. "And I'm sure Nix and Boost might enjoy it as well."

"They would," nodded Sapphire, as she fell into line behind Ebony.
Ebony called up Boost on her cell and told her brother that she, the Weathers, Tex, Ondine, and Kitt were all going to the corner restuarant for a bite to eat. She asked him to come with them.
Leaving the stadium was only half relief for Ebony. She also had to contend with the glares while on the street, but she managed to keep her anger in check until they got to the cafe, called Zip and Tuck's.
The proprietors, two Mazda RX-7s, grinned at each other when they saw who was coming in. Their cafe never had celebrities before and they were thrilled to be serving them. And they recognized the little black Dodge Viper that was with them, having served her before, and waved at her and gestured that her and her friends could take whichever stall they want.

Strip and Tex smiled to the Mazdas as they entered. "Nice place here." Tex remarked.
Ondine looked around, noting that the place was nicely decorated, though not pretentious and was clean and comfortable, obviously a well-managed establishment. "Anywhere you want, Ebony."

"There's a place that faces a patch of wild forest that I like to look out at," said Ebony, as she headed over in that direction, "and it's a bit private too, which I prefer."

"All right," Ondine followed Ebony around the corner, and raised her eyeshades at a ceiling-to-floor window fronting out on a wood with wild flowers, ferns and a small stream running through it. "Very nice. I wasn't expecting this."

At that moment one of the Mazda brothers come up. His voice had a sort of Japanese-English accent to it, "We make it a priority to treat our customers with the respect that they deserve and make them as comfortable as possible while they're here. When Miss Ebony was here on a prior visit, she wanted this place right here, so we decided to reserve it for her and any friends that she might bring with her."

"Well, it's lovely, thank you." Ondine answered.
"Name's Tex." the gold Caddy extended his tire in greeting to the Mazda gentleman. "Pleased to meetcha. And these are the Weathers, Strip and Lynda. You might have heard of them." he chuckled dryly.

Zip dipped his front politely, "You are quite welcome, Ma'am."
Tuck nodded his front at the Weathers, especially Strip, "I have seen you on the television. My brother, Zip, and I are honored to serve you. Would you like anything?"
Ebony, in the meantime, has already taken a place by the corner so that she could be in the best position to look at the scenery outside. She wiggled out of the harness and set the sleeping twins down in the basket beside her.

"I'll have a cider infusion," Strip said, "What about you, Lynda?"
"Cranberry, if you have it." the station wagon answered.
"I'll have what Strip's gettin'" Tex nodded.
Ondine looked over the menu quickly. "Cappucino, please."

"You alright, Vee? Sounds like something happened," said Kamui.
_______________________________________________________
Kyoshi's trailer was also there. She was busy talking to her crew chief, Chip. However, they were doing so in complete secrecy.
"Something is up, Chip-san. There is something greater happening than what was originally anticipated," said Kyoshi in a slightly awkard english.
In public, she portrayed a cute school girl persona. But it was for the most part, an act she put up to hide behind. As for who she really worked for, was a mystery.
"Yeah. I'm picking up on it too, Miss Kurosaki. I recon you're thinking that you already have a rough idea of who," said Chip.
"Hai. I do and it is very bad news, Chip-san. We must keep good watch on everyone still... like we have been. I believe I know who but yet do not know what or why. That remains a mystery. But I will soon uncover it," said Kyoshi.
Chip nodded.
"Alight. You becareful now, Miss Kurosaki. We can't have our cover blown or anything seriously bad happen," said Chip.
Kyoshi smiled.
"Need not worry. I can do this," said Kyoshi.
"Good luck, Miss Kurosaki," said Chip.
(OOC: FYI, Kyoshi's one of the good guys)

Sapphire ordered apple-cinnamon and Ebony quietly asked for a citrus.
Tuck counted up the tally of orders, "We'll be right back with your orders in a few minutes."
When the Mazda brothers went off to fill the orders, Ebony was still bothered by all the prejudice that she had gotten previously. She had a hard time getting her mind off of it.
~~~~~
Outside the corner cafe, a Ford Bronco has seen the Viper and her group go in. He is glaring in the direction of the cafe's entrance.
Tuners... Worthless little pieces of scrap... especially that Viper...

Eddie didn't realize that Annie's phone was in her trailer as he entered the stadium's service entrance. His parents had also been granted special passes to access the pit area. He only hoped he'd gotten there early...especially before...
"Awww, great."
The first trailer to greet him at the pit area was a big green trailer, numbered 86.
===
Glimmer slithered into pit lane, an aura of ice cold seeming to surround him.
((Has Glimmer and Kamui's street race happened yet?))
