"After this... I can't see going back to Nitropolis again." Boost exchanged nuzzles with Shrike. "Too much baggage there."
"It was commissioned as a custom job for my predecessor, Cleavous McGrabhook, "El Bandito." Kamui said. "So we're really conscientious about keeping it up. He raced under the same number for Flo N' Go for years, until his death in a track accident. Funny thing was, anyone else who tried to replace him had all kinds of misfortunes, until Senor DeLaToyas gave me a shot at it. The Bandito still floats around with us, and he's mighty particular about who gets to keep up the legacy."

"Not much I can say for Vegas, either," Ebony said, rolling her eyes at Boost and Shrike, "but because Nix's hotel is there, I'm still gonna visit every now and then."
*****
"So that means that you're the only one to race under the number and not have anything negative happen to you?" asked Delfina.

"That's right." Kamui nodded. "I guess he likes me, but I think it has the most to do with selecting someone who had a sense of honor like his own."
"Of course." Boost nodded. "I can see how you're getting to be like sisters."

"And I guess you have that," said Delfina.
*****
"Technically," answered Ebony, "we are. We agreed to treat each other as sisters because at the time we had no family to speak of. So, we needed each other."

"That's really... something." Boost said. "I had almost nobody growing up, except for Wingo who was in the same youth shelter with me. DJ and Snotty came later. Did you know that DJ had classical music training and a prep school education?"
"I guess." Kamui shrugged and grinned. "We get along pretty well, actually."
In the meantime, Misty, Robin and Ivy were coming over to check out Kamui's camp.

"No," Ebony shook her front, "I haven't."
The twins chirped loudly, bringing their mother's attention to them. "Oh, dear, they're so restless now. They want down."
*****
"Kinda reminds me of my relationship with my crystal demon," said Delfina.

Kamui was intrigued. "So exactly how did that come about?
Boost waved a stuffed toy in front of the twins. "Take it easy, now."
"I'll see what I can do." Ondine went into the back rooms and came out with a folding playpen-like enclosure. "This place used to be a shop for baby needs and this was left over from their inventory."

"It's quite a long story," said Delfina, "and is there a place I can sit down here? Humans aren't known for standing for long periods of time."
*****
Ebony looked at the playpen suspiciously. "I don't know... I never really liked those things. I don't really like seeing the twins restricted like that."
Kestrel and Falcon wanted the stuffed toy that Boost held out to them.

Ondine placed it, folded, behind the counter. "I'll pass it on to anyone who needs it."
Boost let the twins play with the toy.
"We could go somewhere else for a bit." Kendall suggested. "Mike has another partner to work with so I could go with you."
"Lessee..." Kamui went into her trailer and rummaged about, coming up with a hard, sturdy trunk that was perhaps above knee-height. "Would this do?"

Daniel stretched a bit. "I really need to let her have a ride with someone else than me riding her." He said. "At the moment, it seems I am the only one who can ride her. She's young and hot, as you probably noticed during your stay in the dumpster." He smirked.
Aron came out, dreading what he had to do now. He had never been on a ATV. He had been on trail rides on dead broke horses, so that quelled his desire to go off-roads where the Rover couldn't.
"Aron, you been on ATV before?" Jeff, the lead scouter for the ATV team asked.
"Can't say that I have." Aron replied nervously.
"It's fairly simple." Jeff smiled. "We will let you get the hang of this on flat land, then we can do the hills. We won't let you go alone completely green. We will begin with the basic ATV, but if you catch on quickly, you can ride the modified one today."

The twins were becoming excited as Boost gave them the toy. It seemed that they were ready to jump out of their slings, which worried Ebony.
She turned to Kendall as he mentioned going someplace more quieter. "I would like that alot," she said, "the twins want to get out of their slings and explore."
The Viper turned to Phoenix and Ricardo. "How about you guys? What do you think?"
"We wouldn't mind," said Ricardo.
"Yeah," Phoenix nodded, "We wouldn't. And Gryff seems to be wanting to do to the same thing as the twins."
*****
Delfina checked out the trunk that Kamui brought out and sat on it, crossing her legs and folding her wings. "It's okay," she said, getting comfortable, "So which part of the story should I start at first?"

"Wherever you want." Kamui settled on a pad of her own.
"How about that little park where we were before?" Kendall ventured.
"And she's got a wicked hind end." Shroder winced at the memory.

"I guess I'll start at the beginning then," said Delfina, "It all started when I stumbled upon this chamber of crystals. My amulet, the one I'm wearing around my neck, reacted to them for some reason and when Phoenix was with me one time, I touched one of the crystals and sometime later I shifted for the first time. That was when I met my soul demon. We fought each other at the beginning, but as time went by, and with help from Kathleen and Phoenix and the other users here, we soon agreed to make a pact to help each other. Our individual lives depend upon each other. My demon is intertwined with my soul. Anything I feel physically, she feels it as well. And if she is killed, then I die."
*****
"That sounds fine," nodded Ebony, "It's one of my favorite places."
"We know," smirked Phoenix, "and we don't mind going there as well."

"OK, ready to go?" Kendall held the door open.
"Thanks very much for coming." Ondine waved.
Kamui listened attentively. "Must be interesting, living together in the same mind."
"Almost like me and my subconscious sometimes." Veronica murmured before laying her head back on her pad.

"Interesting, yes," nodded Delfina, "but it can get frustrating sometimes. I can barely get any privacy or intimate moments with her always watching whatever I'm doing."
*****
"Yeah," nodded Ebony, "I'm ready to go."
"So are we," said Phoenix as she checked the harness straps again.
