Five Years in the Future (Cars fanfic)

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

Start with the one's Ebony would have the most contact with. Or you could start with the one's who Ebony would'nt run into on an everyday basis.

[Kamui.EXE]

Okay. Take a six sided dice and assign each member's name to a number on the dice (EI RacingFan's characters take side 1, My characters take side 2, Zed's characters take side 3.....ect.) and roll the dice. The number that it lands on will be the one you will work on for that chapter and move on from there.

Although, I found a slight snag with my Kamui Exan character. She has a relationship with Thunder McQueen's Slick character and I'm not sure if Thunder's okay with adding Slick in to your story.... unless Thunder gave you full permission to use Slick anywhere.... ^^;;

If you're still stuck, you can always do the characters alphabetically too.

Anyways, I think I'm going to post a bit of a character update to help you out. Remember how Kamui and Slick are together? Well... I've been doing some research in to Slick's character and I think he's more meant as an NPC-styled character so I think that means he could be allowed in to your story, Ebony. Also.... there's Sonya's prediction of those two having a family together within two years which means that if you went five years in to the future, their kid would be about three years old, I'd think. The last background elements I'm going to bring up have been somewhat brought up in the RP. One of them is that a Term on Kamui's side of the family really only lasts about three months (Shooters have really strange biology!) and the other one is that within two years (Or there abouts... maybe a little less) the Shooting Star Clan finally gets Clan support and a factory to help in the processing (Shroder helps in the research for this) so meaning she'd only have to self contain for a month before processing.

As for what their kid's stats and name is going to be, we might have to talk on that. Do you think you can send a PM my way then? ^^;;

Chapter 2

While Ebony was resting from her latest relapse, her children were playing outside the tent. Then they heard the sound of a semi approaching and peered out by the side of the tent to see who it was that was arriving.

They say a large, blue semi pull up. Maven and Krill knew who he was just by the description that Ebony had given to them. This was Nevada Davenport.

Nevada set the trailer down so that the occupants could get out and stretch their axles. Three came out and the twins first recognized the black Honda CRX as Slick, then a blue and yellow Shooter named Kamui Exan, and a little navy blue girl named Hideki Exan.

Maven and Krill squealed with delight and rushed out to greet the small family. Kamui looked up and saw the two kids and grinned with pleasure.

"Well, hey," she turned toward the two Viper kids, "I'm a kid magnet."

Slick chuckled, "So, if Maven and Krill are here, so should Ebony. Where is she?"

"Good question," Kamui looked around, "She shouldn't be too far away, especially if she has her kids with her."

Maven tapped Kamui's side urgently and pointing in the direction of a small house with white shingles and green shuttles. This was Darcy's home as well as her studio, and that was who was coming out just now.

"Heya, Darcy," Kamui waved at the white 'Bird girl with her antenna, "What's shaking?"

"Oh, hi Kamui," Darcy came up to the blue stocker, "I didn't expect to see you here."

"I just came by for a visit," replied Kamui, as Slick came up beside her, "Kinda spontaneous, aren't I? So where's Ebony? I see her kids, but not her. Is there something wrong?"

"Come on," Darcy motions for Kamui and Slick to follow her to the backyard where the tent had been set up, "I'll take you to see her."

Darcy was the first to peek into the tent, hoping that Ebony wouldn't be startled by any sudden appearances. It would not be good for Ebony's health while she was in this state.

"Ebony?"

The aforementioned tuner roused slowly. She looked exhausted and sick, obviously deep in her relapse. It had already been six days and not a single improvement.

Kamui, knowing that Ebony did not like loud noises whenever she was sick, decided to speak in a much calmer tone of voice.

"Hey Ebony," Kamui greeted the Viper quietly, "How are ya feeling?"

Ebony coughed a couple of times before replying in a raspy, shaky whisper, "Lousy... and like... scrap..."

"Oh, that bad, eh?" Kamui came over to the invalid Viper, "and nothing you tried so far hasn't worked, right?"

"...It's been... almost a week..." rasped Ebony, "...no... improvements... at all..."

Kamui thought for a few minutes, studying Ebony and noting the Viper's haggard condition, before she came up with an idea. She turned to Slick.

"Remember when I was sick," asked Kamui, "because I've been having those psychic episodes?"

Slick nodded, "Yeah?"

"And Sonya made me that special bark tea to drink?" continued Kamui.

"I had it too," recalled Slick, "when I got near-electrocuted. It helped the both of us recover quickly."

"Yeah," nodded Kamui, "I'm thinking that it'll help Ebony to recover quicker from her relapse."

"That's a good idea," Slick replied, giving his girl a loving nuzzle, "I'd say go for it."

"Thanks, Hon," Kamui smiled, returning the nuzzle. She then turned to Ebony, "So what do you say, Ebony? Do you think that will work for you?"

There was a pause, as it seemed that Ebony was contemplating the idea, but in the end, she agreed with it. Ebony shifted her weight and looked over at Kamui and Slick.

"...If it had... helped you two..." said Ebony, "...then I'll... give it a try... as well..."

"Excellent!" Kamui shouted excitedly, causing Ebony to wince and groan, "Oh, sorry Ebony. I'll just go and get some from my trailer."

Slick watched the kids while Kamui went over to her trailer to retrieve the curative tea for Ebony. The others didn't have to wait long. Kamui came back through the tent flaps carrying the container on her hood and rolled over to Ebony.

"Here ya go," said Kamui, as she set down the container in front of the Viper, "Just take small sips and in about a couple of hours or so of rest you'll be feeling much better and we can go and have some fun."

Ebony nodded, but waited until Kamui, Slick, Darcy, and the kids left her tent. The kids were lured out by the prospect of getting some anti-freeze pops if they can catch Kamui.

Once she had the tent to herself again, and that her twins were well-looked after, Ebony took a few sips of the curative tea that Kamui gave to her, grimacing at the bitter taste. After awhile, she began to get drowsy again. Ebony drifted off to sleep, hoping that the mixture would help her recover.

Chapter 2's finished! Yay! Okay, bring on the comments.

[Kamui.EXE]

WOOTXORZ! It's up! XD And I just had to say "wootxorz" at some point. Anyways, nicely written, Ebony. Tee he he he! Kamui Exan's bribing kids with sugary treats again! But you did well with the characters, so keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to Chapter 3!

~Kamui.EXE

[Orca]

A well written installment. Like Kamui.EXE says, you did a very nice job of keeping everyone (that is somewhat pre-set) in character. Will be waiting to read the upcoming parts, whenever you're done with them.

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

Yeah you have could charaterization of them, and I can't wait for more.

*Pulls up chair and popcorn to wait for next chapter* I'm ready.

[ebonyviper]

Oh, yeah... I'll get that Chapter 3 up... *nervous laughter and big sweatdrop appears behind head* ...just as soon as I get out of this writer's block again.

I want to bring Phoenix and Boost in next, but I have no clue how I want to go about doing that. If anybody has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. ^^;;;;

[JustJones]

It's shaping up to be a real good fic. You've got a talent for writing - I guess all that time in the RP's paid off, huh?

Keep it up.

[taiomega]

Aw... hmmm yah could always have flashbacks.. where she thinks about them and they show up... Oo.. yeah that sounded stupid.. Awsome story by the way..

[Insane Pirate Dragon]

Are ya still stuck or are the creative juices flowing.

[ebonyviper]

I just finished writing Chapter 3. All I need to do is post it. That means I'm gonna be slow in the RPs so don't expect a quick response from me.

This is all just for entertainment.

Chapter 3

"So you had another relapse?" asked a faded black Pontiac Trans Am, "How long did this one last and how bad was it?"

"Nine days," replied Ebony, "but it wasn't bad as the first time."

Ebony was down by the waterfront of Miramichi, accompanied by her best friend, Phoenix StreamLiner. She had since recovered, thanks for the bark tea. She had been both surprised and pleased when Phoenix and Boost arrived, knowing that she now had someone she could freely talk to without having to mince words.

During her cruise, she noticed that some of the locals were giving her and Phoenix looks of distaste. Ebony knew it was about her tuned appearance, but tried to ignore it for the time being. She was bothered and couldn't help by be just a little bit apprehensive.

"So," said Ebony, changing the subject, "How are you and Boost?"

"We're getting along fine," replied Phoenix, "We just became parents too. A little son."

"Really?" What's his name?" asked Ebony.

"Chase StreamLiner Dodge," answered Phoenix like the proud new mother she was, "We added Dodge because of the bit of Viper in him."

She smiles at Ebony, "After all, he is your nephew."

"Yeah, "Ebony nods, "And I bet that he's gonna start calling me 'Aunt Ebs' in a couple of years."

"Hey, that's just the same as your two kids calling me 'Aunt Nixie'," Phoenix chuckles.

"Okay, ya got me there," Ebony says with a grin.

"Well, we are family now," addes the Trans Am, "So I think that it's appropriate now. Anyway, how are things going for the rest of your family?"

"Hydro's doing okay," replied Ebony, "He works for Zed now, building all sorts of technological gadgets for commercial use and even events some for his own private use. And Cade? She's gone to get her teaching degree in college. She likes working with kids. I guess that Sara Jaimeson inspired her."

Phoenix smiled, "Well, that's good to hear that you and your family is making a turn for the better."

Ebony stopped and looked down. Seeing this, Phoenix stopped as well. She could see the troubled look that Ebony had on her front.

"Hey, Ebs?" asked Phoenix, "Something wrong?"

"Not all of us are making a turn for the better," muttered Ebony.

"What do you mean?" Phoenix looked concernedly at the Viper.

Ebony hesitated for a bit," It's just that..." She falls silent. "Well, ya know how upset I get when I see or hear about some form of disrespect to tuners just because of what they are?"

"Yeah, I do," Phoenix nods, knowing what Ebony is getting at, "Any luck in trying to convince them all otherwise?"

"Not much," Ebony shakes her hood, "I've only just not sure what to do with the rest of those who still don't trust, or even like, tuners."

There was a few moments of silence before Phoenix replied to Ebony, "You know what I can tell you is to not worry about it. You already have a few followers and that would be enough for now. Eventually, you'll get more."

"Hey, thanks Nix," Ebony smiles at her friend, "It really feels good to have your support on this."

Phoenix nods, "That's what best friends are for. Besides, I had a lot of support from you and Boost when I finely got into the Piston Cup, despite my past as an illegal street racer. I'm returning the favor."

There was couple more minutes of silence before either car decided to speak again.

"Hey, Ebs," Phoenix had mischieveous grin, "Why don't we do something fun tonight?"

Ebony perked up, "That sounds like a great idea. But... what about our kids?"

"Oh, we can just leave them with Slick and Boost," replied Phoenix, "We can have a girls' night out. Just you, me, Kamui, and Darcy, if she wants to join us."

Ebony smiles and revvs her engine in answer.

"Now that's the Ebony I know and remember," Phoenix smiles at Ebony's enthusiastic response.

~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, Chapter 3 is finished.

What does everyone think?

[Orca]

Not bad. I enjoyed reading it. Let's see what the girls do on their night out.

The only thing I'm noticing now is you seem to skip from past tense (ex. "said") to present tense (ex. "says"). Is that intentional, or just how you normally write? There's nothing wrong with it; I'm only curious.

[Nitrohoney]

Aww, I can't belive I haven't been readin' this... Awesome, Dudette... *Looks around* Er, can I be stupid and ask if ya can bring in Wingo and me...? *Hides*
