The camera focuses on the sleek and modern headquarters of Honda Canada Racing. Liam stands at the entrance, his heart pounding with excitement as he prepares to take the next step in his racing career. Barrett and Hope stand by his side, their faces beaming with pride and anticipation. Barrett pats Liam's shoulder.

Barrett: You ready for this, kid?

Liam nods enthusiastically. He can't believe he really is achieving his life-long dream. Here, he is in front of a big racing team ready for his first signing.

Liam: Absolutely, Barrett. I've been dreaming of this moment for as long as I can remember.

Hope smiles warmly. She feels so happy for Liam. Seeing the person you love lit up and achieving their dream is something else to her.

Hope: We're all behind you, Liam. You've worked so hard to get here, and you deserve every bit of success that comes your way.

With a deep breath, Liam steps through the doors of the headquarters, his heart racing with excitement as he takes in the bustling activity around him. The air is charged with anticipation as reporters and camera crews mill about, eager to capture the historic moment. A reporter approaches Liam with a microphone and asks him a question.

Reporter: Liam Allard, can you tell us how you're feeling right now?

Liam nervously grins from ear to ear. He's nervous but also super excited about what's about to go down for him.

Liam: Ecstatic, to be honest. Signing with Honda Canada Racing has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity.

As Liam makes his way through the headquarters, he's greeted by the members of the Honda Canada Racing team, each one offering words of encouragement and support. Finally, he arrives at the conference room where the signing will take place. An executive of the team extends his hand out for Liam.

Executive: Welcome, Liam. We're thrilled to have you on board.

Liam shakes the executive's hand firmly amazed at the opportunity that was given to him.

Liam: Thank you. It's an honor to be part of the Honda Canada Racing team.

With a sense of pride swelling in his chest, Liam takes his seat at the table, flanked by Barrett and Hope. The room falls silent as the cameras begin to roll, capturing every moment of the historic occasion. The executive addresses the camera and all the people tuning in.

Executive: Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today for a momentous occasion. Today, we welcome Liam Allard, the newest member of the Honda Canada Racing team, to the family.

Applause fills the room as Liam signs his name on the contract, his hand steady with determination. The cameras flash, capturing the signature that marks the beginning of Liam's professional racing career. The executive smiles and speaks back to the camera.

Executive: With this signing, Liam Allard becomes the youngest professional racer in Honda Canada Racing history.

The room erupts into cheers and applause as Liam's achievement is celebrated by his teammates, friends, and family. Barrett and Hope rush forward to congratulate him, their pride evident in their eyes. Barrett slaps Liam on his back playfully, smiling proudly for the racer he's trained to find success.

Barrett: Well done, kid. You've made us all proud.

Hope wraps her arms around Liam and hugs him passionately.

Hope: I knew you could do it, Liam. I never doubted you for a second.

As Liam basks in the glow of his accomplishment, he knows that this is just the beginning of his journey. With the support of his friends, family, and the Honda Canada Racing team behind him, the sky's the limit for Liam as he embarks on his professional racing career.

After the ceremony, a racing trainer comes forward and greets Liam in the hall of racers at the Honda Canada Racing headquarters.

Liam is seen by himself looking at all the photos of the racers that were a part of the Honda Canada Racing team.

Trainer: Those are some great racers, aren't they.

Liam is taken by surprise by the trainer but smiles through it.

Liam: Yeah, it's crazy that I'm actually here. I'm just a basic 16 year old kid, but here I am in the big leagues of my favorite sport.

The trainer chuckles

Trainer: Well, I'd say you're far from basic kid. We've seen your racing clips and Holy. You are one hell of a street racer.

Liam smiles at the trainer.

Liam: I'm sorry, I never got your name. I was told I would meet someone here. I assume that's you.

The trainer nods

Trainer: Yup, that's me, Logan Boley. I'm your assigned trainer and handler. Don't worry about introducing yourself. I already know who you are. Mr Allard, or should I say The N Demon, hehe.

Liam is taken by surprise by the name that Logan dropped. Did people really call him that? It sounds kinda cool.

Liam: The N Demon? Really, that's what people called me? I had no idea.

Logan: Yeah, cool name if you ask me. But, anyways I'm here to teach you the ways of the pro racer. First things first though is sadly some schooling but, I'm sure you'll do fine.

Liam: Schooling? Like classroom and teacher schooling?

Logan: Yeah, I know it sounds boring, but it's really important. We here at Honda Canada really want our racers to be taught as much as possible. So here I am.

Liam: Wait. Does that mean you used to be a racer?

Logan smiles and nods

Logan: Yeah, I was a rally racer for Monster Energy Honda. But I dwelled everywhere a bit. So I know a lot about this whole racing thing, hehe.

Liam feels impressed. Is he really getting taught by an actual race car driver and a rally one? This must be a dream.

Liam: Wow. How long?

Logan: About 15 years. I joined when I was 18, and I was a damn good racer.

Liam: Why'd you become a trainer?

Logan: I had a bad accident and shattered my entire leg. Took me out of commission long enough for my contract to run out. I'm signed as a trainer, so here I am now.

Liam: Jeez. I'm so sorry.

Logan: It's fine, but uh, let me show you around the facility. We've got one of the highest rated quality of life facilities here. You could practically live here, haha.

Logan beckons Liam to follow him, and they begin to walk together throughout the facility.
