We all drove up and found a street race. We took our places and kept one hand on the shift.

GO!

I pulled up neck and neck with Royal, Karol, and Coconut just behind us, and... Chocola... Just behind them, and everyone else was just behind them. I turned on the voice synthesizer. "Maybe Choco can drive after all." I said. I pulled slightly in front of Royal. We almost reached the end. "Cops!" Vanilla said. I heard the telltale siren. I floored it, and everyone else did the same. The cops were still chasing. I heard mention of a stinger strip from the cops' radio. "Everybody look out for the strip!" I said. "What?" Azuki shouted. "I said, look out for the-" BLAM! Her tires popped and she cursed. "I can't just leave her to get busted!" Ox said. "Oxy clean! Keep driving!" I shouted. "I can't leave one of my girls to the dogs!" Ox said. "Fine, let me do it! Saving people is my job, just keep driving if you wanna keep yourself a clean record!" I said. "God dammit Blackfeather! If she gets busted I'll have your head on a spike!" Ox sped off and Vanilla hopped into Royal's car quickly and I stopped. I sprinted as fast as I could and reached Azuki just as they were about to take her helmet off and stuff her in a cruiser. "I don't think so." I said, picking her up and dashing back to my car. I set her in the passenger seat, hopped in the driver's seat and floored it again, blazing off after everyone else. "Not that I don't appreciate the save, but what're we going to do about these cuffs once we get back to the warehouse?" She asked, jingling the chain. "I may have ended up busted, but at least the ride would be more comfortable." She said. "Actually no, the indentations for the arms are designed for someone more of my height. Not your stubby midget body. If anything it would be even more uncomfortable. As for the cuffs, they won't be hard." I said. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!" She replied. "Seems your fuse is just as short as you are." I said, laughing. She was only angered even further. "Hsss. When I get out of these cuffs I'm going to teach you a thing or two about messin' with this cat." Azuki said. "I can always just leave them on." I said. She hissed again. "Man these jokes are so good I bet you couldn't even reach the punchline." I said, laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. "I swear I'll kill you in your sleep." She growled. "You couldn't reach my throat." I replied. She got even angrier. I hit a spark on the fuse for Tsar Bomba (The world's biggest nuke) now. "All right calm down short stuff, I'll stop with the short ended jokes." I said. Still laughing. She seemed like she was about to literally explode. "I'll stop now, calm down, deep breaths in and out." I said. She slowly calmed down. I met TJ at the warehouse. "TJ we're down a car." I said. "Which one..." He sighed. "Azuki's, I luckily saved her from getting busted, but her wheels were popped by a stinger strip and her car was taken." I said. He cursed. I handed him some cash. "She's going to either have to ride with someone, or sit it out until I can get her a new one." He said. I met Ox inside. "Did you get her?" Ox asked. I looked down, faking a sad expression. "No, the cops got her..." I said in a saddened voice, taking off my helmet. He walked up to me, hands balled into fists. He swung at me, and I caught his wrists, lifting him up by his wrists. He kicked at me. "It's just a prank bro calm down, she's in my car." I said. "You have a terrible sense of humor!" Ox said. "I'm sorry but making terrible short jokes about Zuzu wasn't funny enough." I said. I put Ox back down, and put my helmet on. I headed back to my car and carried Azuki over to Ox. "I'm glad you're okay." Ox said. "Oh yeah about these cuffs." Azuki said. I grabbed a hacksaw. "Close your eyes and clench your teeth." I said. "WHAT! Don't cut my hands off!" Azuki said. I fell onto my butt laughing. "Okay, now I'm done making jokes." I said. "You sick twisted ba-!" Ox cut her off. "Your twisted sense of humor makes me sick." Ox said. I picked up Azuki and set her down in a sitting position on a table. TJ brought me a lockpicking kit. "Sit tight, this is gonna take a while." I said, taking off her helmet. She groaned in annoyance. After a few minutes of attempting to pick the lock Azuki yawned and tried to stretch, causing me to lose what progress I had made. "Forget this." I said. I packed up the lockpicking kit and grabbed some bolt cutters. I cut through the cuffs and Azuki stretched. "Why didn't you just do that in the first place? Now I have shoulder cramps. You owe me a massage." Azuki said. "I was hoping to take them, but I guess not." I said. "You owe me a massage anyway." Azuki said. "When we get on the tour bus." I said. We all put on our helmets and hopped on our tour bus. On the inside it had a small kitchen, several bunk beds, built in little alcoves, each big enough to fit two of me and for me to stand on my knees and still have about half a foot of room between my skull and the ceiling, all of which were soundproofed for privacy. (so one male, and 1 female, if you're Cinnamon or Coconut, or 1 male and 2 females for everyone else. Or just one person, if you're Azuki, who according to Coconut thrashes around in her sleep.) They had a curtain and a hatch-like door which could be brought down for extra privacy. (You may be thinking, the hatch is a fire hazard though. What if it gets stuck?) Indented into the ceiling of each was an easy to pull lever, which unpinned the hinges on the hatch, causing it to drop off, or made it so the outside wall of the tour bus could be pushed out, and they were oiled and tested twice a month. There was also a small livingroom-like area with a medium sized flat screen TV and a gaming console, with an array of racing, fps, strategy, and card games, as well as a bookshelf, and a collection of playing cards for a variety of games, such as; several Magestone decks, a poker set, and a plethora of collectors edition playing card sets for all sorts of well renowned franchises. "You. Massage. Now." Azuki said. She grabbed hold of my wrist and brought me to the bedroom area, I could have easily broken free of her grip if I wanted to, but I followed anyway. She took off her helmet, her jacket, and her shirt, and lay face down in her pillow. I turned off the voice synthesizer, then pulled off my helmet and felt around Azuki's shoulders and back. "Damn no wonder your back was hurting. Your muscles are knotted so much they'd give someone with dreadlocks a run for their money." I said. "Then hurry up." Azuki said. Karol and Royal took off their helmets and set them off to the side, cuddling up together. I continued massaging Azuki's knotted muscles, one by one slowly loosening them. I finished up, and she fell asleep. Royal kissed Karol and went into the living room area. "Your massages must be nice if she fell asleep." Karol said. "Would you like a massage?" I asked. "Umm. O-okay..." She said. Since Azuki was asleep I carefully slid out, and closed the curtain behind myself. I slid up behind Karol. I began feeling around her back and shoulders for knotted muscles. She gasped. "Is something wrong?" I asked. "Your hand is, so cold. Like the feeling of a cold stethoscope, but it was... Colder, than anticipated..." She said. I grabbed my plain black leather gloves. "I still have that uneasy, vulnerable feeling. Perhaps you would prefer someone more familiar?" I asked. "What do you mean?" Karol asked. "Maybe Royal?" I asked, shapeshifting into Royal. "What... Just happened...?" Karol whispered, looking back at me. I pulled off my eyepatch. He was only slightly shorter than me, so I was able to reproduce his other eye. "It's not quite him though..." I said. "That's just weird." Karol said quietly. "Maybe I can try my brother, he's quite small and certainly not intimidating, although he won't be a familiar face, it's the only other humanoid form I could try, other than my son, but that would be weird... I shapeshifted into my brother. "Your brother looks like a nice guy." Karol said. My brother was small enough I was able to reproduce him in his entirety. "Shall we begin again?" I asked. "Go ahead." Karol said. I felt around her back and shoulders for knotted muscles. "Do you have anxiety or stress issues? You're easily five times more knotted up than Azuki was." I said. I carefully and gently caressed each knotted muscle. I couldn't stop yawning. It seemed to loosen her knotted muscles a bit, though, so I went with it. She seemed to be really enjoying the massage. By the end of it Karol fell asleep as well. I folded up her jacket and had Vanilla help her out of her jeans, and into one of my extra shirts. I folded up her jeans and set them with her jacket, quickly writing down a note and setting it on top of them.
