"Okay, fine. Win a few more races, and you'll get the money. In the meantime, let's upgrade your Cobra. You're lucky you weren't hit, by the way." Carter pulls out the new upgrades, replacing the old ones.

"Kelas and Tyrako went out for lunch a while later after finishing the repair.

 

[hisokun]

Vanessa is sitting alone in a cafe, looking over car magazines, when she sees Kelas and Tyrako.

 

[Telios]

"Coming out here for lunch too, huh?" Tyrako asked when he noticed Vanessa.

 

[hisokun]

"Yeah. I bought this on the way here, too." Vanessa gestures to the magazine in her hand. She bites her lip.

 

[Telios]

"What about the Audi R8?" Tyrako asked. "Mind if I sit here?"

 

[hisokun]

"Oh, be my guest." She fiddles with her fingers until he finally settles down. "I'm thinking of buying the R8 this weekend . . . Wanna come?"

 

[Telios]

"Yeah. I'll give you the money too." Tyrako nodded. Kelas came over with his and Tyrako's food. "Oh hey Vanessa. Want something to eat? On us."

 

[hisokun]

"Nah, it's okay. I just had my lunch." She watches the both of them sit beside each other. They're so different, but also very alike. It's weird.

 

[Telios]

Tyrako and Kelas started to eat while talking. "The prize for the tournament is 100 grands. So if we win, we can buy two 2015 GTRs and parts with a lot to spare."

 

[hisokun]

Vanessa listens to them talk over her magazine. She zones in and out of the conversation, her mind flooded with thoughts of her father.

 

[Telios]

Tyrako asked suddenly, didn't noticing her spacing out. "How about you, Vanesa?" It was something about a car...

 

[hisokun]

"Hmm?" Vanessa drives her attention back to Tyrako. "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just really excited to buy the R8."

 

[Telios]

"Still determined about the R8 Huh." Kelas smiled.

 

[hisokun]

"Of course I am." Vanessa smiles back. "I'm looking forward to it a lot."

 

[Telios]

Tyrako and Kelas finished their lunch. "Also..." Tyrako started. "We need to think of a new name for our crew. It can't be 'The Twins' anymore since you joined."

 

[hisokun]

"So, what will it be, then?" Vanessa questions.

 

[Telios]

"Thunderstorm?" Kelas suggested.

 

[hisokun]

"Hey, that's really cool!" Vanessa's face brightens up. "It has a nice ring to it."

 

[Telios]

"Alright. Thunderstorm it is." Tyrako nodded.

 

[hisokun]

To be part of a crew - this is what she has always wanted. She can't thank them enough.

 

[Telios]

"The next race is on Wednesday at 11." Tyrako said.

 

[hisokun]

"All right. I'll be there." And she'll be training before then. She starts to gather her things. "Guess I'll be going. See you."

 

[Telios]

"Cya." Tyrako said and also stood up, paying for their lunch before heading back to their home.

 

[hisokun]

Vanessa starts practicing even more, Carter guiding her when the car slides unnaturally.
