The Speed Of The Stars

The following morning at Lyney's gas station. Beidou Seele Collei And Pela are surprised at what March is leaning against on. March Smiling away.

"So? What do you guys think eh?"

She is leaning against a Blue Pearl metallic Toyota Supra MK4. Beidou inspects March's Supra and looks around it.

"Damn March! You actually went through this! Did you finance it or bought it out right?

March plays around her keys, smiling away.

"I got a sweet deal with the Dealer, So i used my Savings for this bad boy!"

Collei is impressed and looks at march's car closer

"I gotta hand it to you March. I'm quite impressed"

March then proceeds to show everyone else the best part about it.

"Wait a minute! Let me show you something!"

She then removes the roof of her car. tucking it away in the back seat.

"This is the best part! Its A Targa Top! Which means i can remove the Roof on a clear sunny day!"

Seele Crouches and looks at March's Supra

"That definitely is better! Even Has the stock wheels and 90's tires! Say March. Is she the Turbocharged variant?"

March then rubs the back of her head.

"Well. Umm... It's not. You see they have the Turbocharged variant of the Targa top. But the thing is. Its way beyond my budget..."

Beidou then Pats March's shoulder.

"That doesn't matter at all March. You can always put a turbocharger in the future. Besides Its still a 2JZ motor!"

March's eyes sparkle with excitement.

"Cant wait for that! But for the time being, Maybe remapping the ECU might be a start. and maybe change up the Exhaust and wheels. Even Lower it a little!"

Beidou gives March a thumbs up.

"That's a great plan! Say. Tomorrow you can bring your Supra over to my mechanic. He also knows a thing or two about supra builds"

March then clenches her fists in excitement.

"Sounds Like A Plan! Oh this is so SWEET!!"

March then turns to Collei to ask her something.

"Say Collei? How about we take her for a spin at Yougou. Want to come?"

Collei nods her head.

"Sure thing March, We can go to Yougou tonight."

March clenches her fists once again out of Excitement.

That night Collei and March drive up Yougou In March's Supra, Herself being behind the wheel shortly after, they park up at the summit and take a breather. March and Collei then step out. March stretches a little.

"Yes! That felt fantastic! It does lack the oomph in the straightaways but but it does take the corners like a dream doesn't it Collei?

Collei smiles at March

"It sure does."

March then giggles and opens the hood of the car. She then inspects the engine. Collei inspects it with her. March still wants to add a turbocharger in the future.

"This engine is the Naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE engine. Its Turbocharged sibling is the 2JZ-GTE But cause the GE is similar to the GTE. Converting A Supra with the NA engine to the GTE is much cheaper so in the long run it will be a great financial decision for me!"

The sounds of a turbocharged Six-Cylinder echo's from Lake Yougou. Moments later, A Red Supra Parks by the side of the road at the summit. A girl with dark blue and green hair steps out. And approaches them

"Greetings. Nice to see another Supra owner around here. My name's Xianyun by the way"

March then puts a hand behind her back.

"Heh Thanks Ms. Xianyun"

Xianyun notices the hood of March's supra open and takes a peek. She is shocked at what she sees and steps back.

"Don't tell me you got the Naturally aspirated version?"

March backs off a bit from Xianyun.

"Well. i didn't have the budget for the Turbocharged version. And besides i plan on turbocharging it in the future"

Collei hold of her anger. clenching her fists. While Xianyun scoffs.

"Hah! If you had the budget. You would've gotten the turbocharged version easily!"

Xianyun then heads back to her Supra. And before leaving she rolls her window down.

"Try not to to eat my dust when i leave you in my mirror."

Xianyun launches off the start line, heading down Yougou. Collei looses it.

"That's It! Now she's gonna pay the price! I hope you don't mind if i drive your car. Come on! Jump in the passenger seat!"

Collei immediately jumps into the Driver's seat of March's supra. March is caught off guard and jumps into the Passenger seat.

"What are you doing Collei? Just leave it!"

Collei starts up the engine but an aura of anger surrounds her.

"I don't care! Nobody talks to my friends like that!"

March straps herself in.

"Really Collei! Just let it slide. Beside my car doesnt even have a limited slip diff, let alone have tyres from the nineties! 

Collei then looks at March

"I have to warn you, I might be a bit rough to your ride but trust me it wont be anything that she can't handle. You trust me?"

March gulps and gives collei a Nod. Collei then Puts the car into first and slams the accelerator. Launching off the start. Giving chase to Xianyun's Supra. March hanging on to anything she can hold.

"Collei please! I'm too young to die!!!"

As they race down Yougou They reach a couple of hairpins Xianyun notices headlights in her rear view mirror.

"They just cant leave it alone... Time to teach them a lesson"

Xianyun drifts across a hairpin with precision March's supra is approaching the hairpin with blisteringly high speed. March braces.

"Collei please slow down!"

Collei doesnt listen March tries again.

"Collei!! HIT THE DAMN BRAKES!" 

Collei initiates a braking drift and Drifts right through the Hairpin turn with lighting speeds. March Screams. Her voice echo's around her surroundings. As they catch up to Xianyun, They reach another hairpin. Collei initiates a new technique called a Scandinavian Flick. The car slides but the lack of grip is noticable and the car starts gliding nearer and nearer to the guardrail. March notices it and Closes her eyes. Collei too notices it and performs a clutch kick. March's Supra Narrowly avoids the guardrail. March slumps to her seat. Sweating.

"Is this really my so called crappy supra?"

As they continue to race down. Xianyun notices that its the Supra she saw a while ago.

"Impossible! How is that Naturally aspirated Junker catching up?!" 

As they exit another hairpin Collei accelerates hard but Xianyun's supra starts gapping them again. Collei notices this.

"Huh. When i step on the gas, its not accelerating as much as i expected it to be."

They reach another hairpin and Collei also notes about the tyres.

"And these tyres. They're not bald but they aren't gripping at all."

Collei nears the guardrail and March Screams again, They miss the guardrail by mere centimeters. Xianyun notices it in her rear view mirror.

"She's got some skill i'll give her that.."

Collei straightens out Putting on her game face

"This isn't over. Its time to pull out my signature move."

They race down the five consecutive hairpins, Giving an illusion to Xianyun that she's got the race. But on the final hairpin before the straightaway. Collei pulls her signature move, "The Gutter Run" And passes Xianyun with Insane speed in the inside line.

"That's impossible! How can that NA Supra Overtake me!?"

Xianyun tries to catch up but March's supra disappears into the next corner at flying speeds. Xianyun is speechless and eases her foot of the gas, And shakes her head in disappointment.

"Damnit! I should've kept my mouth shut! I should've encouraged her. Not angered her. Those kids have skill. I'll give them that..."

The Supra Disappears into the night. A small battle, Comes to an end.

Time passes by and Collei is grabbing a coffee at a convenience store at the base of Mt. Yougou. She walks out of the Convenience store and gives the Can of coffee to March, who is sitting by her Supra.

March then speaks up after being silent since Defeating Xianyun.

"You know Collei. Beidou told me about your downhill skills. She said they were a freak of nature."

Collei raises an eyebrow

"A freak, huh? Hope she meant it as a compliment."

March giggles a little.

"Of course she did! And she's right. You are way too good. I never though my supra could even run like that. You know that's scary.

Collei rubs the back of her neck.

"Sorry if it scared you. I didn't mean for it to be intense."

March waves her hands dismissively.

"No way, its cool. This is the happiest i've ever been, you know."

Collei looks at March

"Huh?"

March takes a sip of coffee and stands up beside Collei.

"Its not just what my car can do. But its also what the driver can make it do. You've completely changed my perspective on racing in just this past hour Collei."

Collei giggles softly

"Mhm. I guess I did, didn't I?

March walks towards her Supra

"You have to realize it Collei. You have amazing skills. Don't let anyone underestimate you for that. You got the skills to bring out the full potential of what it can really do. Supra Or Eight Six. It doesn't matter. All you gotta do. Is drive your damn best out there.

The blissful bright night sky with stars shining bright. Another day comes to an end on a good note.
