The Cross Dimensional Traveler

Chapter 20: Practice For The New Season

A few minutes later, she pulled into the practice track she was talking about.

Lightning's eyes go wide in awe as he looked around. The view from his point of view in his world looked good as it was, but the view of the track from Mizuna's point of view in hers was something else.

Mizuna glanced at him and smiled as she went and parked in a parking garage. She turned her car off and got out, locking it after Lightning got out too. "Whatcha think? Beautiful right?"

Lightning immediately nodded. "That's a given." He was currently taking in the sights.

Mizuna took his hand. "Come with me. I'll show you around a bit." She walked him around the pit area for the practice track, which was mainly a storage area for everything. Some of her old man's racing gear was there along with his vehicles too. There was even some spare garages for friendly races.

Upon seeing all the sights he saw and took in, even listening to Mizuna's explanations, he loved every single second. Racing was of course something he was passionate about just like her, and listening to how things worked in her world just made him more interested. He gave her an anticipated look. "When are you gonna show me your baby?"

"I mean you're already here." She said as she shot him a flirty grin.

Lightning chuckled. "You know what I mean."

Mizuna smiled, then opened one last parking garage. It showed a sleek red and black race car with her major sponsor, Target, on there in a silver coloring. Her other sponsorships were also on there, which were big for her, but Target was her top one.

Though he loved the car, there was one key feature he noticed the most out of it all: She had HIS number, 95. It was also in silver. Upon seeing it, he looked at her shocked. "Why in Chrysler's name did you not tell me you had my number here?" He asked in genuine curiosity. If anyone could have his number in her dimension, he's glad it's her.

Mizuna couldn't help but laugh at the shock it brought him. "I wanted to surprise you. How do you feel knowing that now though?"

"I had no idea that we'd share a number, but I'm happy it's you I share it with. Nobody else is worthy enough." He said with a soft tone.

"There's actually something I wanted to ask." Mizuna said gently.

An eyebrow raised curiously. "Uh huh..." He said, wanting her to continue.

"Do you think Tex giving me the number 94 in your world was a coincidence?"

"What makes you think that?"

Mizuna smiled a bit. "Obviously nothing wrong with it. Maybe he thought I would've been a good influence on you? Who knows. Knowing him, he'll probably say so eventually."

Lightning just nodded. "If it was, he sure was right. You've affected me more than you might realize." He said with a smile as he gripped her hand a bit tighter.

Mizuna leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips. "I'm sure and I'm thankful I have." She then started pulling him towards the car so he can take a better look.

He didn't try and pull back or anything and went with her. Once they were standing next to the car, he looked at her. "What are some of these sponsors anyways?"

She told him about some of them which took her a bit but it got done. "Enough talking. Ready for a new experience?" She let go of his hand and walks around, grabbing the keys. "Hop into the passenger side. You've seen how I get in to drive you in your world."

He pulls the flap down and jumps in. It was his first day in this new body but some of it was muscle memory that got transferred from his actual form in his world as the car itself. He looks around, observing what she may have seen when she's driven him before. It interested him.
