"Get...away...from...me..." Glimmer muttered, sounding very much like a car that had lost something precious. The maniacally depressed glance he showed Kamui was just as convincing...

"Alright... now THAT was just not nice. You know, I didn't have to ask you that, but I did because you know.... it looked like something was up in Glimmer-world and you seemed upset and depressed about it and I've never seen you upset or depressed before.... and it's a question I'd ask my friends if they were in the same spot. Besides, it's alright to tell me.... I'm not going to sell you out. I'd be an idiot to do that since you already have one of my secrets that you could quite possibly hold over me if I told anyone about your's," said Kamui.

"As long as both of us benefit, I'm willing to continue business with you." Andy replied to the Managers, his mood more relaxed now. He came upon the on-ramps of a small highway...one ramp led out of the city, where his driver's hotel was located, and the other to the city center, where the Speedway was.
After making sure no one was watching, the Audi took the ramp leading back into the city.

((What was that secret again? XD))
"I told you...and you found out...everything you know about me..." Glimmer growled, slowly approaching Kamui with that maniacal glare in his eyes. "If you want to humiliate me...before you sell me out...I prostrate myself to you."

"Eh....? Uh..... I'm NOT out to humiliate you, alright? I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong so I can help you get back up on your tires. I mean you can just not say much if you don't wanna. But that just makes it harder for me to help," said Kamui, "if I didn't, I would have moved on without you and left you here alone. You've seen that in the past bunch of hours that according to you, I've had many opportunities to totally finish you off. You've even mentioned those opportunities yourself. But I never did. Why? The answer's as clear as the markings on my hood. Those triangle patterns on my hood aren't there for decoration. They have meaning to my People. It's the Triple Triangle - a marking rarely granted anymore. But I'm one of the few who have it. It means spirit, bravery, and HONOUR. I have a sense of honour and respect, Glimmer. That much, you already had from day one even if it wasn't so obvious at first, it's always been there. That's why I never took those opportunities. If I did, I would want to be stripped of my markings, my number .....everything because I wouldn't deserve it for being a dishonourable coward."

((Sorry, overslept. X.=.x Going to the gym in bout 45 minutes too. D:))
Glimmer snarled. "Honor...something your kind seem to apply to back-stabbing, name-calling and whatever everyone else doesn't. Of course...I've let my own special marking down..."
It was then that he tried to look down at the tip of his hood, where a scratched Mercedes-Benz decal still managed to stick where once there was a proud Merc ornament.
"This star...for which you called me "starbutt"... represents everything you said your little triangles do. But it also represents tact. Charm. Wit. Prestige. Everything you've just seen me lack. My number is just that - a number. But like you...once I lose it...it's gone...all gone..."

"Back stabbing? Alright.... when the hell did I do that? If anyone did anything like that, I'd think it was Kyoshi because she played you pretty well from what I heard. Pft! Alright.... this is getting no where fast. But as for your star..... where did all the charm and wit and stuff go? Why'd you give it up so damn easily?" said Kamui.
The burning itiching pain of her mirror slowly came back. She tried scratching at it with a bit of a wince. If she further scratched at her injury too much, it would become much worse than what it already was.
(OOC: Uh.... I thought Kamui was supposed to be HELPING? Can you throw me a bone here and help me out? ^^;; )

((Uh...I'll try. XD))
"You attacked me from behind...you plotted with your...tuner friends to bring me down in Miami..." Glimmer practically spat out the word tuner... "I hope your friend Ms. Steele hasn't headed off the authorities to wherever the hell this tunnel exits."

Kamui couldn't contain herself this time. She briskly and firmly slapped Glimmer.
"GET THIS THROUGH YOUR DAMN THICK HOOD! I'M NOT STEELE'S FRIEND! SHE'S MY WORST ENEMY!" Kamui shouted.
She snarrled.
"Anyone who takes my kind and turns them in to mindless killing machines is NO friend of mine at all! As far as what happened in Miami, that's called a street race. I figured you'd already at least KNOW how they work unless they don't have them over there!" Kamui growled.
She slapped him again... twice.
"THAT'S FOR SAYING I'M WITH THAT SADISTIC STUPID WOMAN WHEN I'M REALLY NOT AND I ABSOLUTELY HATE HER TO THE VERY CORE! AND THAT'S FOR BEING A HUGE IDIOT AND WANDERING OFF ON YOUR OWN IN THE DARK! YOU SCARED THE LIVING SCRAP OUTTA ME WHEN YOU DID THAT! I THOUGHT I LOST YOU!" Kamui shouted.
El Bandito was even taken back by Kamui's outburst. It was almost the same reaction that Kamui had whenever someone brought up a certain slur infront of her. Kamui scratched at her mirror again, but didn't take her eyes off of Glimmer.

It was hard not to argue that Kamui's doubleslap ((it's super effective!)) had pretty much the desired effect. There were quite a few seconds of silence after she had finished speaking, through which pretty much anything could be heard. Then...
...Glimmer started to cry. It wasn't an overly dramatic sobbing session, more like the scared whimpering of a little lost child. There were no tears, as the Managers had re-routed his wiper ducts to cool his engine, as part of a Piston Cup technical loophole.
"But...you...I...lost..." Even his babblings were incoherent.
====
"Glimmer's GPS has stopped." "He must have hit a dead end. Can he find his way back?" "I hope so...it must be pretty dark in there..."

(OOC: POKEMON! Fwee! XD )
Then it was Kamui's turn to be a little taken back.
Uh... alright.....? This is now gone to the levels of extremely awkward! Maybe I was TOO rough on him? How do you handle a grown car crying?
"Er.....uh....um.....er....listen.... I uh.... I'm sorry I slapped you. I just got extremely fustrated....." said Kamui a little awakwardly.
How do I calm him down?

"Just...get...let's...out..." Glimmer whimpered to Kamui. "Please..."

"Eh....? Yeah.... we'll get out," said Kamui.
I'm going to regret saying this.....
"But.... I will say, you were only half right about the path you took in the dark earlier. There was a turn you missed where I could half swear I heard a small stream. Following that will take us to the exit," said Kamui.

"Stream...let's...just...out..." Glimmer added...before crawling back toward Kamui. He didn't care whether he was right or not anymore, he just wanted this nightmarish day to end. And even after they got out, there was still the matter of dealing with... the Managers.

"Yeah.... out. Everything'll be alright... when we get out, we'll go our own seperate ways and stuff'll be fine..." said Kamui.
If there's no one bad out there waiting for us....
Kamui double-backed and went in the direction she heard the stream....
