The car of eternal friendship

2

"What just happened?" Mick asked the others scared for the answer. "I... I don't know what happened" Seb said. Everybody looked scared at Seb. "If you don't know it Seb, then who knows?" Asked Lando on the verge of his tears. "a curse... A CURSE! A CURSEEEEE"  Charles started to scream. Charles started to panic and run around the podium. "Charles calm down" Max said. "WHERE IS DANIEL?" Pierre suddenly screamed. Everybody started to shout Daniel his name but no reaction. 

"HAHAHAHAHAHA" a mysterious voice suddenly laughed. That definitely wasn't Daniel. "WHO IS THERE?" Seb screamed. "That you don't know is a shame, Vera Kotcha is the name" the voice said. "Vera Costa..." Charles started. "No Vera Kotcha, he is the god of the incas" Seb said. "That time is passed, i appear to you as his ghost" Vera Kotcha said. Everybody looked shocked and scared around them. Then they see it, in the mirror was a silhouette of a man with a cape. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH THAT IS DANIEL, HE WAS RIGHT IT IS A GHOST" Charles screamed pointing at the silhouette. "In the dark i was really alone, but then one of you gave me air. The question that i have for you is simple, what is your friendship worth?" Vera said. "Everything, where is Daniel?" Lando said crying of fear. "Back to it all was IF you find the key to eternal friendship" Vera said. "And where is that exactly?" Max asked. "Search and you will find, hidden in a box. This keeps the key until you make a mistake" Vera said. "What exactly happens if we make a mistake...?" Seb asked. "You meet the same fate, like me for many years, and will be just like Daniel stuck in a painting" Vera said. "what..." Carlos started but at that moment a light appeared in the painting of the Shiva causing the glimpse of a person trying to get out of the painting. It was Daniel... "DANIEL" Max and Charles screamed at the same time while the others already tried to get Daniel out of it.

"Daniel can you hear me?!" Max screamed. "You can not hear him, he speaks to deaf ears" Vera said. "Guys we need to open one of those boxes to get Daniel out of there" Carlos said. Carlos walked up to the boxes but got hit with something that looks like lightning. Carlos falls on the ground and Lando runs up to him to check if his boyfriend is okay. "Just opening a box, i don't think so, before you open it you first have to finish the command" Vera said. "A command?" Mick said. "We are not really going to do that right?" Pierre said. "Of course we are going to do that! We want Daniel back. Look how broken Max looks right now, we cant just leave his lover here in a painting. but more importantly we can't leave OUR friend in a painting. " Seb said. "Think about it, i will hear what your friendship is worth" Vera said and with that he disappeared. 

"What are we going to do now?" Mick asked unsurely. "Well at least not just a random command, you don't know what will happen" Pierre said. Everybody looked unsure at Pierre. "Guys he locked Daniel up in a freaking painting, who knows what he is capable of?" Pierre said. "Because of that we should do it" Mick said. "Max, what are you doing?" Seb asked. "He has to be somewhere here right...?" Max asked with tears in his eyes. "Are we going to do that command or not?" Lando asked. "Yes of course we are going to do that command" Charles almost screamed. "Mick what do you think?" Seb asked. "I say we should do it" Mick said. "What about you guys?" Seb asked Carlos and Lando. They looked at each other and said unison "We do it." "Pierre?" Seb asked. Pierre still looked unsure but eventually said: "okay fine we will do it..." "Max?" Seb asked. "Absolutely!" Max said. "okay then it is up to us to prove our friendship" Seb said.

"Ghost Vera Kotcha? We want the first command" Mick said. "As you wish, here is the first command, it is a riddle, solve it and you will find with the solution the right box." Vera said and he disappeared again. "wait what? a riddle?" Carlos asked. "wait look!" Mick pointed to the mirror. There was standing a riddle. After every image appeared all the drivers started thinking about the solution. They all called in unison "FLOWER, IT IS FLOWER" except for one. "wait why is it flower?" Charles asked confused. "You ever had english?" Max asked annoyed. "Yes" Charles said with a thick British accent. It took 5 seconds before Charles exclaimed: IT IS FLOWER!" "Great work Charles" Max said sarcastic."Well then we know it right, it is this one" Charles said and he walked up to the mirror of Vera and said: "It is flower!" "Wait Charles"Seb said but the light already turned green. The answer was correct. "okay we can choose a box but which one?" Seb said. "one with a flower?" Lando suggested. "Ahhh here is the rose!" Charles said and walked up to open the box. "WAIT!" Carlos screamed. Charles stopped instantly. "Here is standing a sunflower" Carlos said while pointing to it. "Charles come back here" Mick said. Charles didn't know how fast he could run back but it was fast. "Which one do we choose?" Lando said. "Sunflower" Max said. "Why?" Charles asked. "Well, incas that is always with sun right? sun, sunflower" Max said while looking at Seb. "Well he has a point" Seb said. "So?" everyone said while looking at Seb. "Well it also could be roses, i don't know either" Seb said. "wait who is going to open the box anyway?" Pierre asked. "I... I will do it" Lando said unsure. "really?" Pierre asked. "y...yes?" Lando said and with that everyone gave Lando a hug. Just before Lando wanted to walk away, he run back to give Carlos a kiss on the cheek. Carlos started blushing. "Man up" Pierre said laughing to Carlos. 

Lando was standing in the middle of the two boxes. "Okay i'm going to choose" Lando said. "Which one are you going to open?" Carlos asked. "The sunflowers, they are my favorite flowers" Lando said and he walked up to the box with the sunflower on it. Before he opens it he turns around to the others and say: "If it goes wrong, i love you guys" He turns back to the box and opens it slowly. "And?" Carlos asked. "Empty..." Lando said. "Noooo we have the wrong box, Lando come back here" Seb said. Lando started to walk in the direction of Seb. "No Lando come here" Carlos said and Lando turns to the direction of Carlos. "No Lando quick this way" Seb said and then there was a boom and a bright light. Everybody started screaming. "LANDOOO" Carlos and Seb screamed. "He made a mistake and choose the wrong box, now he is also stuck in a painting" Vera said. At that moment the silhouette of Lando appeared in the Milkmaid. "NOOO LANDO" Pierre screamed while Carlos just stood there in shock. "Are you still playing or does your friendship fail you?" Vera said.
