The Wolf's Heart Of Change

Chapter 3 - Racing around

Rather than going far away 'he' decided to just go to the other end of the room and hide behind one of the curtains. A little while later, Roxy walked over to the curtain with Chica following behind as Roxy was once again using her nose to find 'him'.

Roxy: "You can come out now."

'Him': "Good. The curtains are nice, but it does get a bit dull with nothing else to look at."

Roxy: "Well, how about we go to my raceway, and you know, race."

'Him': "But of course."

Roxy: "Race you there!"

Roxy was much faster than 'him', but it didn't discourage him one bit. Roxy still beat him, though.

Roxy: "Aww, are you tired already?"

'Him': "Nope, I have good stamina."

Roxy: "Probably because you'll never get a real girl."

'Him': "What? No, that's not what I meant."

Roxy: "Suuure."

'Him': "Are we going to race or not?"

Roxy: "Yea, calm down. I'll just check to see if anyone is in there."

'Him': "I forgot about that."

Roxy: "Good thing I didn't then, isn't it."

'Him': "Indeed."

Chica eventually caught up just as the race was about to start, walking up to the railing to watch.

Roxy: "I don't need to tell you which peddle does what do I?"

'Him': "No."

Roxy: "Good cause I wasn't going to tell you anyway."

'He' just rolled his eyes at this, watching the lights with intent.

Roxy: "You better not think that you will beat me."

'Him': "I'll give it a damm good go."

Roxy: "Then prepare for disappointment because I always win."

Focusing on the starting lights once again, they waited. Three. Two. One...

GO!

Both slamming their feet on the peddles, flying off the starting line. Roxy knew the track inside and out. 'He' didn't know it at all, but that was fine. It wasn't going to stop him. Roxy kept mocking 'him' in hopes of deterring him, but it had no effect. Corner after corner, they were level. This worried Roxy more than anything else had ever. She tried everything in her power to gain distance, falling into desperation to win. 'He' was having none of it, powering through, ignoring Roxy's insults while she was breaking down at the possibility of drawing or worse, losing to someone who had never even driven a car before. Normally, people would be scared on their first time but not him. Keeping a straight face the entire time seemingly unfazed by anything in the room, 'he' just kept going. Upon nearing the end of the final lap, he just pushed it as far as he could without losing control, surfing on the fine line of disaster. Chica was stunned mouth agape as the other two band members entered the raceway stand beside her to watch. Roxy was losing her mind, crying out every insult and demoralizing thing, just doing anything she could in the hopes it would let her win...

Chica: "He won... How? No one ever beats Roxy."

'He' pulled off the track, stopping the kart and getting out. Roxy trundled around to him in silence with watery eyes, not paying attention to anything stopping a few feet away from 'him'.
