"So, you date Dally?"

Rainn's P.O.V.
(May 14, 1953)

I stood with the gang at the race, we got here a little before my race. Me and Dally are going together to the Nightly-Double tonight and Steve and Evie with us. Soda was still kinda upset with this whole Sandy thing, but I really don't know what to tell him. I mean the girl cheated on you, got pregnant, and she doesn't want to be with you anymore.

I held on the railing keeping us away from the track. I never stood over here, I'm always in a pit or in a car racing. I look over at the gang seeing them in their own conversation. I shook my head looking back on the race. Soda stood next to me in his own world. I sighed, getting his attention, "Come on, we need to talk." I grabbed his arm pulling him threw the people. When I finally got to a place that was isolated from everyone and quiet, I started, "Soda, why you still stumped over that girl?" He looked up at me, "She's not some girl she's the love of my life." I crossed my arms, "She obviously wasn't in love with you." He huffed, "Just leave me alone Rainn." I nodded, "No can do sir, we are friends, and friends can never let them fall," I paused, "Now tell me Sodiepop, what else seems to be the problem?" He looked anywhere but at me, "I really don't want to talk about it." I nodded, "Mmm tay, whatever ya' say." I walked back to the group and stood where I was.

"Rainn?" I turned around to see someone I've never seen. "Yeah? Who are you?" This person was a girl, about 5'3" and was very skinny. She had short curly brown hair and brown eyes to match her hair. She wore glasses, a green blouse and a black skirt. She held her hands to her side and looked at me and the gang that took a notice to her. "I'm, uh, I'm Jen, I was friends with your younger sister, Princess." She explained. "Hello, what are you doing all the way down here?" "I could be asking you the same thing." She smiled, "I'm down here visiting some family, what about you?"

"Getting away." I slowly stated. She nodded, "After everything that happened, I would too. It was nice seeing you Rainn, I might see you around." I smiled and waved her off. I turned back around. "Rainn, who was that?" "Friend of my sisters, nothing big." I rested my head in my hand that was on the railing.

The race was coming close to an end and that means mine was next. I walked away from the audience and to my car. Soda decided not to race with me, but instead watch me. I didn't have a problem with that, racing alone is better then racing with someone. I pulled up to the line, doing what I normally do which is looks at the people I'm racing.

I saw someone that was very odd, kinda weird but normal at the same time, it was a purple car, the outside wasn't the thing that confused me, it was the driver. Her hand extended out the window beating the door, she wore black sunglasses that almost took over her face, and gloves that I got but different. Nothing was a huge difference from me but I have a feeling that something was different.

A girl came out with a scarf and teased us. I rammed up my engine, she then waved us off. I sped off trying to get into the front but these guys were good. I turned on the radio and blasted it. The wind in my hair and the adrenaline pumping in my veins. I smiled passing everyone, till I got stuck behind the weird yet normal person.

"Dang it." I mumbled and kept trying to get around her. Once again she did everything I did. "Okay fine, want to play that way, 2 can play at that game." I looked at them through their rear view mirror. I norrowed my head and thought of getting into theirs. I made them think that there was a person walking in front of them but they didn't move.

"What the hell?" I mumbled, the finish line was right there in front of us, "No, no." The only thing I could think of was do jam my car into them. I need this, I need this for me and Johnny. I closed my eyes, I sped up jammed my front into there back. She slammed on the brakes holding me back. "No!" I yelled, I jerked the wheel to the right speeding around. The dust of the road made a dust cloud behind me. I looked in my mirrors and saw them slowly getting to me. The finish line was about 11 feet in front of me.

I heard something come off the car, I looked behind me seeing it was my front bumper. I put my the car in four wheel drive and went even faster. Then I felt a hit in the back of my car, to once again, seeing the weird girl. My eyes glowed red in anger, my hands gripped the wheel harder, my teeth closed. My cut on my face burned as it pulled apart. She did it again, and again, till my back bumper fell off. I saw the flagger right in my vision, I smirked, seeing the girl in the back getting mad. I sped right off going past the line.

I started to slow down going back to the middle and got out. "Basket case! Basket case!" They yelled. I smiled, the boys walked over to me looking at the car then me. "Rainn what did you do?" Two glided his hand across the car. "Just more work I have to do." "Damn right it is." Soda scoffed. The guy from the table come up to me giving me my bets. "Thank you." I looked back at the guys, "So you boys ready to go?" I looked at Steve and Dally, "We are not going out with you in a beat up car." I rolled my eyes, "Fine Dal, do you have a car that we can drive?" He nodded, "As a matter of fact I do, let's go to Buck's." "Bye guys, see you later. Steve, Dal, let's take my car and then we can go to Buck's." I waved to the others and got into my car with Dally and Steve following behind me.

I pulled out going to the main road and followed Dally directions to Buck's.

-At Buck's-

I looked at the building in front of me. All I could see were drunk people, stumbling out the door. I glanced at Dally and Steve, "What da' hell is this place?" Dal got out walking up to the bar, and Steve got out. I slowly did, "So no one is going to answer my question?" Dal walked back out going around to the side of the building getting into a car and driving back to us. Steve got in the back and I got in the passenger seat.

With Dally's very fast driving and Steve screaming the lyrics of the song's playing on the radio, we finally got to Evie's. Steve got out to go and went to get her.

"So..." Dally started. "So." I answered back. He lightly tapped the steering wheel to the music that was playing and looking ahead of us. "You are a mystery, Dally." He looked over at me, "A mystery?" I nodded. "How am I a mystery?" "You never talk, the only thing that you say at a time is 'Broad'." I explained, he shrugged, "Maybe I just don't want to say anything to you." "Ouch, that hurt." He looked away, smiling. The back doors opened and Steve and a girl got in.

Dally sped off going in the direction of the nightly-double. "Rainn, this is Evie, Evie this is Rainn." I turned around and looked at the girl sitting next to him. I smiled and waved, "Hi." She smiled and waved as well, "So you date Dally?" I chuckled, "Yeah, no. I'm single, I just came with Dally." "What happened to Sandy?" I looked at Dally, Steve cleared his thoat and started talking, "She cheated on Soda." "Oh." She mumbled and we all left it with that.

---Nightly-Double---

We all were in a disagreement of what to watch and Dally didn't want to pay for his ticket so we had to climb under the fence in the back. Steve and Evie stayed and payed for there tickets. "What movie are we watching?" I asked following behind him. He stopped and turned to me, "Listen to me broad, we aren't on a date so don't start to think we are. I'm going to the other theater to go and pick up some girls. You can stay with Steve and Evie." He walked off leaving me there. I rolled my eyed and crossed my arms.

I walked off. There was no way I was about to stay here with Steve and Evie, and I sure as hell am not going to be here with Dally. I walked back to the fence area and walked away. I left my things back at Buck's and that really far to walk. I looked at either ends of the road and went with my gut. I don't know where I am, nor do I know where to go. Let's just hope for the best.
