Gianna
Los Angeles, CA

Gianna enters her house to see it filled with people, instantly the smell of alcohol and sweat filled her senses. She rolls her eyes, she has never been a big people person and the amount of people in the house is too much for her. Dom walks in shortly after her, slipping his jacket off.

He spots Leon with a girl on his lap "Yo, Dom. Hey, man.we were just about to go lookin for you brother." Dom slaps the beer out of his hand and walks towards Vince who is playing my with a guitar. "Where were you?" "There were mass cops there. They came in from every direction. That shit was orchestrated." Vince defends. "This your beer?" Dom asks. "Yeah, thats my beer." Vince responds confused. Dom picks it up, turns around and spots Jesse making out with some girl "Yo Einstein, take it upstairs. You can't detail a car with the cover on"

Letty stands next to a pillar "Are you alright?" she asks. Dom repeats "Am i alright?" "It was just a question." The door opens a Brian walks in. Gianna offers him a smile to which he returns. "Yo, Dom! Why'd you bring the buster here" Vince yells. "Cause the Buster kept me out of handcuffs, he didn't just run back to the fort. The buster brought me back" Dom yells back at him before walking over to Brian and handing him Vince's beer "You can have any brew you want, as long as it's a Corona" Brian takes it "thanks man" Dom points at it "That's Vince's, so enjoy it" Brian takes the cap off and takes a sip "Hey bro you got a bathroom?" "Yeah, upstairs. First door on the right" Dom answers still looking at Vince.

Gianna sighs walking into the kitchen, that's also overflowing with people, opens the fridge to see its filled with beer, and grabs a water. As Gianna walks out of the kitchen she sees Brian coming down the stairs and Letty and Dom heading towards the stairs "Yo. You know you owe me a 10-second car, right?" Dom rests his one arm on the end of the stairs, Letty laughs "ouch." They head upstairs "did you wipe the seat?" Vince asks Brian. Gianna shoves him "Leave him alone Vince" Mia runs out and also pushes him away "Would you cut this shit already, come on"

Gianna makes her way upstairs towards her room. Shutting the door behind her, she flops down on her bed, feeling herself falling asleep.

The next day, they're all at the auto shop

The next day, they're all at the auto shop. "What about the parts and service?" Gianna asks Dom. "Hold off on that." He responds. "Dom I don't know what to do with this." She stresses. Dom spots someone with a tow truck pulling up "All right, What the hell is this? What do you got there?" Brian points at the car "This is your car" Gianna said " He said 10-second car, not a 10-minute car." "You could push this across the finish line, or tow it." Jesse suggests. Letty, Gianna, and Mia all let out a laugh "Couldn't even tow that across the finish line."Gianna jokes "No faith" Brian says. "Oh I have faith but-" "This isn't a junkyard. This is a garage" Dom finishes for her as he looks around.

"Hey pop the hood" Brian tells Dom "Pop the hood?" Dom repeats "Pop the hood." "Two J.Z. engine. No shit."Jesse tells us, Gianna raises her eyebrows, surprised. "What did I tell you" Brian smiles. "I retract my previous statement" Dom says. "You know what, this will decimate all after you put about 15 grand on it, or more, if we have to overnight parts from Japan." Jesse tells Dom and Brian. "We'll put it on my tab at Harry's." Dom tells Jesse. "Yes!" Jesse laughs. "I gotta get you racing again so I can make some money off your ass. There's this show down in the desert called Race Wars, and that's where you'll do it" Dom says to Brian. "He owns you now" Gianna tells Brian before walking away.

Back at the house, Vince notices Brian, drops the bag he's carrying in Leon's hand and walks away"Vince give us a hand" Gianna yells at him

Back at the house, Vince notices Brian, drops the bag he's carrying in Leon's hand and walks away"Vince give us a hand" Gianna yells at him. "Looks like you got all the help you need Gianna" He jumps in his car and takes off. "Asshole" She says. Dom yells out, "Mia!" "All right" She sighs coming outside. "The chicken's dry already." Following her is Jesse and Brian.

We all sit down. Jesse reaches for the chicken "Because you were the first out of everybody here to reach in and get the chicken you say grace" Dom says. "Dear heavenly, uh"He starts "Spirit" Leon fills in "Spirit. Thank you, uh thank you for providing us with a direct port nitrous, uh injection, four-core intercoolers and ball-bearing turbos, and um titanium valve springs, thank you" "amen" we all say laughing. "He's praying to the car gods." Gianna jokes. "not bad" Dom says. "Look who it is, old coyotes R' us, I thought you weren't hungry pumpkin" Leon laughs. "You know, I gotta eat." Vince shrugs. "He's always hungry." Letty glares. "All right, sit down" Dom waves him over, Brian glares at him. "How you doing Mia?" he mumbles.

Mia
Cha, Cha, Cha

Mia told Brian to take her to the Cha, Cha, Cha which is where Vince originally wanted to take her but it never actually happened. "So how is it anyways the gang came to be?" Brian asks making Mia laugh "the what?"Brian repeats "the gang" "the gang? no they don't call themselves the gang" Mia tells him "so what do they call themselves?" Brian asks "They're a team, they call themselves a team" Mia says. "Alright so how is it that the team came together" "Well that's a whole lot of history" "I've got time" Brian smiles at her.

"Ok, Vince grew up with my brother. Actually he never grew up as you can tell. Uhm they were friends, and Letty, she lived down the street always into cars since she was like 10 years old so naturally you know my brother always had her attention then she turned sixteen-" Brian interrupted "then she had Dom's attention" "Yea, yea it's funny how that works isn't it." Mia nods scrunching her eyebrows together."Gianna's always been into cars too, she's more into computer and hacking though. Her and Letty have been friends since they were able to talk." She adds"How is it that Jesse fits into the whole thing" Brian changes. "Jesse and Leon just sort of showed up one night and never ever left. It's just the way my brother is though you know, Dom is like... he's like gravity every thing just gets pulled to him, even you" Brian shakes his head "No, no. The only thing that pulled me in is you, your brother is just a bonus" Mia smiles "That's good, its nice to come first every once in awhile" Brian and her hold eye contact before Mia asks "wanna go for a drive?"
