Darcy waved to Ebony as she passed by once again. "Did you find Hunter?"

Ebony paused. "Yep. And he's found himself a mate. Looks like he's going to be staying away for awhile this week unless he gets hungry."

"Well, that'll make things easier on Shawn and Boo." Darcy glanced in the direction she'd seen the "hermit" heading. "I wonder if we'll be seeing any kittens in the future?"

Ebony shrugs, "We probably will, although I only got one glimpse of her, she's pretty-looking. A pearlescent white. Hunter will stick around the densite and hunt for her, but I think he may pay a visit in town if he's hungry, but you all have to be careful when you see him. He's a bit highly aggressive now. It wouldn't do now to treat him as a pet."

"That's the way of nature." Darcy shrugged. "Maybe later when he's not so hormonal he'll get back to normal."

"He'll get back to normal eventually," Ebony concurred, then smiled, "And I'll have him back on my roof again."
She paused, "Anyway, I have to get back home. Busy day tomorrow. Goodnight."
With that, Ebony returned home, quietly entering through the front door. She made sure that the twins were really asleep and then went to her own room that she shared with her mate, Slate Walker, curling up against him underneath the nightcover.

The next morning found the Viper writing in her journal.
June 16, 2010
Today's the start of the Rally and it appears that there's already a large gathering here, not just the Sore Nose Society. I bet this is going to be a good turnout, at least everyone's hoping so, for the town.
I've woken up early so that I can join Sheriff and Ed to get a debriefing on what we are supposed to look out for during this big event, since there will probably be those who want to disrupt or crash an event. We want to keep that to a minimum, as I am told. I'm good at handling this kind of thing and it's the very reason that I volunteered to act as part of the security while the Rally is going on.
Looks like today's a beautiful day to start of the first events.
This could be enjoyable for me as well.

He had woken up exceptionally early. After a quick shot of fuel from the V8, Shawn had pretty much confined himself to the alleys. Mostly out of need to stay hidden, partially to make sure Boo didn't cause a racket with his whining and whimpering.
He observed what he could from a distance, by way of ears, eyes and nose. The crowds were about 90% Mopars, with non-alike spouses and kids making it a slight mix.
If Radiator Springs hadn't been crowded before, it sure was now.

Earlier, their families had drove in together, which accounted for Enrique Santos and Lavern IĆ©nz to have already seperated themselves from their parents. The two teenage Challengers had moved off to the edge of the festivities, or the edge of town, in other words. Neither was particularly happy of being dragged along when they both had had plans for the beginning of summer vacation.
"Did you hear if Jaspar was coming to this one?" Enrique finally asked, his Spanish accent highlighting each syllable.
Lavern, the T/A, shrugged lazily. "He probably will. The S.N.S. has some matters to sift through. Their the whole reason this particular event is existing."
Enrique tried not to sigh. He had nothing against aeros; Jaspar was one of his best friends. He just wished that sometimes his parents weren't so hell-bent on attending every kind of Mopar convention in the southwest.

(((((OOC: Went for a quick ten minute walk to refresh my mind. Okay, let's see if I can do a good Sheriff... ^^; )))) "Alright," the old 1949 Mercury cruiser turned to the similarly marked Nissan Skyline and the black Dodge Viper with security stickers on her sides, "We gots this 'ere Rally bein' held in our town an' you both know it's a big event." Both Deputy Edward Teague and Acting Deputy Ebony Sanders nodded solomnly. "Yes sir." "And as you both very well know, these kinds of big events attract large crowds," Sheriff continued, "They also attract the no-goods, the criminals, and the lowlifes. In fact, anybody who might be thinkin' of crashin' the events. Now, I know we had some trouble in th' past, but I don't want to have any trouble here. Th' last thing we need is some delinquent messin' up the festivities an' the town jus' fer their enjoyment. I don't want to have anybody thrown in the Impound if I can help it." He turned to Ed and Ebony. "What I want you two to do is to keep a sharp eye out fer anyone of that nature," he told the two younger cars, "Don't do anything drastic to 'em, but give them a stern warning to behave. This is our town an' we mean fer every visitor ta leave it as they found it." "Sir," Ebony spoke up when Sheriff was done speaking for the moment, "How about we impliment the 'Three Strikes' system?" "That's a good idea," Ed concurred. "I was jes gettin' to that," Sheriff looked at Ebony, "I know ya have a good handle on such a situation because of yer leadership background, Ebony, so I trust ya to do what's right." "I will, Sheriff," nodded Ebony. "Now, we'll be rotatin' shifts, so neither one o' us won't hafta be overworked," said the old Mercury, "Is that clear?" "Yes sir," nodded the Skyline and the Viper. "Good," smiled Sheriff, "dismissed. Go an' enjoy yerselves too. Ya never know when yer gonna have another chance." Both Ed and Ebony nodded at this too and drove back into town.

I've hadn't seen a gathering like this for a long time, "Phoenix said as she and Boost worked their way through the crowds. "I don't think its been like this even after Lightning came to town."

"Times have changed, haven't they?" chuckled Boost as they weaved through the crowds, "I just hope we don't get any trouble like we did a few years ago. Good thing that Ebs is handling the security part of the Rally."

"Mostly because no one wants to argue with her spikes," Phoenix smiled.
She stopped when she heard a familiar 'beep-beep' of a Road Runner's horn. "Hey Birdie, hold up." Shouted the green and black Road Runner as tried to catch up to the pair.

Boost heard the horn and the voice. "Who's that?"
~~~~~
Ebony and Ed had split up and could be anywhere in the town right now, if anyone cared to check. The Viper herself was just casually cruising through the stands, not looking for trouble, but making sure that there wouldn't be any trouble, smiling and nodding at the visitors who were milling about. She saw the Mopar couple that she had seen arrive last night, the Barracuda and the Coronet RT, checking out the consession stands.
She gave a wave to Red as the firetruck was watching the crowds on Main Street. Red smiled and waved back.

Phoenix turned around to see the Road Runner. "Vince? Wha- what are you doing here?"
"Well," Vince smiled as he pulled up to them. "You leave for Hick Town USA after we broke it off, saying that you'll wouldn't be gone for long."
"Next thing I know, you pack up and move and I'm seeing you on TV racing. And..." He trailed off when he saw Boost. "... Hello."

"Hello," Boost said in a guarded, yet polite manner, his senses working, "And who might you be?"

"Vince," The Road Runner nodded. "Coopers... Vin for short. With the rally, and thought I'd come and see how Ol' Birdie is doing away from the sunset strip."
"Fine actually." Phoenix said and turned to Boost. "He's a dragster back in L.A. he was a consultant on set once in a while."
"One of the best," Vince said proudly.
