As the sun fades and the city of LA darkens, lights rush around the city roads like ants.
A pink-haired woman stands in a crowd of at least a hundred people watching an empty road for street racers to cross the finish line. She waits anxiously as others around her cheer and mingle with their cars. A woman in a crop top and jeans suddenly appears beside her.
"I've never seen you around here before" the woman speaks without looking directly at Amber.
She looks towards the mysterious woman. "Yeah, I uh, just flew in about 2 hours ago" Amber answers her tone slightly shaky.
"Oh?" she questions with furrowed brows. "Well people are normally in LA at a time like this to either race, show off their car or show off themselves. I mean this in the best way possible but you ain't picking up no hombre's lookin' like that".
The woman takes in Amber's leather jacket, jeans, and pink tomboy haircut.
Amber lets out a laugh realising what the woman means. "No, no, I'm not here for any of that and I am definitely not a racer".
Just as she speaks the crowd begin to cheer louder building up to a climax. "The race is nearly over" the attractive woman speaks with a chuckle.
A red and black spotted 1988 Beetle rushes through the finish line before it skids to a stop in front of the crowd. People surround the car as a short young girl wearing blue jeans, a blue long-sleeved checkered shirt on top of a black strapless crop top steps out of the car. The girl's outfit is finished with a cute black beret on top of fiery red hair.
"She's the racer" Amber points towards the girl before sprinting over.
Upon seeing Amber, the red-haired girl begins to squeal as she jumps up and down "I've still got it!"
"I knew you did!" Amber laughs as she picks the girl up and spins her around in circles.
Amongst the excitement the woman Amber had spoken to smiles, upon seeing a familiar face.
"Rissa!" she yells out over the crowd.
With her attention caught the mysterious girl walks over peering through the crowd and seeing her.
"Letty!" she tackles the woman to the ground in a hug.
"Holy shit what are you doing back here?" Letty asks standing up off the ground with Rissa.
"I missed you too" Rissa laughs hugging the woman. "I wanted to come back because it's been ages, plus I don't wanna lose my street racing to drifting".
"What'd you say?" Letty leans closer to hear the girl. "We'll head back to the house and talk there. Plus, Mia would love to see you."
"I'm not here by myself" Rissa yells over the mixture of cheering, music, and car engines.
It's then that Amber emerges from the crowd of people behind Clarissa.
"She comes too" Letty replies absentmindedly.
The pair smiles brightly at each other before making their way to 1327.

Pulling into the driveway Clarissa hops out of the car and pops the back of the car to reveal the engine, smoke slowly escaping from it.
"Shit, I need to change my tyres and my brakes. Plus, the radiator is worn out" Clarissa thinks aloud to herself.
"Huh?" Amber questions standing next to her.
"The radiator" Clarissa states only to be met by Amber's blank stare. With a sigh she continues, "The radiator transfers the heat from the fluid inside to the air outside, thereby cooling the fluid which in turn cools the engine and prevents it from overheating."
