3rd POV
The night of Langa's race against Miya had arrived. Miya, Langa, and (Y/n)-- already in her skater outfit-- are already standing by the starting line of the track. The only person who was missing was Reki. He's busy working on the finishing touches to Langa's skateboard.
As they were waiting, a lot of people were talking amongst each other about Langa and wondering how he managed to go up against a pro skater. All the while, (Y/n) was feeling a little nervous standing there. It's been a while since the last time she showed herself to everyone at "S," the last time being the time when she beat Shadow in a "beef."
In all honesty, everybody wanted to see Phoenix skate again, but not now at least. Now everyone is asking questions about the rookie, aka Langa. Everyone was there to witness the race-- Cherry Blossom, Joe, even Shadow. Figuring out that Shadow was there made the nine-year-old nervous. She still thinks that the clown skater hasn't gotten over the fact that she beat him in a race. Heck, he's probably staring daggers at her right at this moment.
'I'm afraid to look, but I have to if I want to know if I'm certain that he is looking at me,' (Y/n) thinks to herself, and then makes a quick glance at the clown skater. And one thing was for sure, she was right. Seeing the flames of anger in his eyes caused her to lightly squeak as she turns back around. 'Oh, dear lord! He IS staring at me...! But now I'm starting to debate whether or not Shadow is still my idol.'
Remembering that there could be a possibility that Langa may win this race causes her to look up at the boy as he stares at Miya with a blank look on his face. A sudden idea gets in her head as a smile creeps onto her face, stars sparkling in her eyes and around her. 'If Langa wins, then I'll just replace him and he'll be my new idol! Yeah!'
Langa looked down at the girl and he notices that she was smiling at him with those starry eyes. Not knowing what was on her mind, he just smiles back with his eyes closed. But as they were doing that, Miya notices that Langa didn't bring his skateboard with him. Having the courage to do it, he speaks up mockingly.
"If I wasn't so disgusted, I'd laugh," the cat boy says, which gets the two's attention. "Is this some sick joke?" "My board's still being made. I didn't forget it," Langa simply tells the boy, which he had a hard time believing.
"Are you sure," the said black-haired boy asks.
And right on cue, (Y/n) and Langa were able to hear the familiar sound of a certain redhead's panting. Looking at where they hear the sound, they both smile at the sight of him holding Langa's newly developed board as he runs in their direction. "See?" Langa says.
Reki stops running in front of his two friends with his hand on his knees, panting as if he had just run a marathon. "You made it, Reki," (Y/n) says, happy to see her redheaded friend. "Made it!" Langa then says, in a way of translating what the nine-year-old just said.
"Yeah. Sorry, I'm late! It's finished," Reki says as he gives the skateboard he was holding to Langa. He then looks up at the sky-blue-haired boy with a confident smile. "Nothing's gonna stop you now."
Langa seemed astonished by his skateboard. Looking back down at Reki, he gives him a nod, as a way of showing his thanks and confidence. The sound of Miya's voice then catches the trio's attention.
"You plan to try it for the first time during a race? Like the power of friendship will keep you from losing tonight?" he teases. After saying that, he looks at (Y/n) with a smirk, who was standing there holding her skateboard close to her as she looks back at Miya, not understanding why he's looking at her in the first place. "Speaking of friendship, I wanted to add something to my prize. If I end up slaughtering you..." his eyes land on Reki as he points a finger at him, "...then you're gonna become my lap dog."
