*the scene above is very similar to what I wrote. All credits go to the director and writer of the scripts in the movie Herbie Fully Loaded.*

I'm walking into our garage, where my amazing co workers are working on my brother's, Ray Peyton, stock car number 56. Right before I got to Ray, my eye made contact with Trip Murphy, my ultimate crush. Who is watching me for a brief second before turning his eyes back to the camera. While he is doing an interview on himself with his car.

"Hey, Ray. How's it going?" I asked, not noticing his car yet.

"You know your boyfriend is over there doing an interview, right?." I glared at Ray and exclaimed,

"I had a crush on him since I was 13. I'm over him now. Then I noticed the stock car.

"Poor baby! What did he ever do to you?" I walked over to his car and feel the paint is all scratched up and rough.

"Lex, I don't want to hear it, ok?" exclaimed Ray, annoyed, holding his hand up to me that he is serious before crossing his arms over his chest. I ignored the question and grabbed a wrench. About to touch the paint of the car.

"Hey, Lex. Don't touch the car. You hear?" I do the opposite and put the wrench to the car and start making a swinging motion on the car. Hoping to maybe make some progress on the car. Ray came over to me and tried grabbing the wrench from me, hoping to get it out of my hands. I moved my arms away from Ray and tried to put the wrench on the car again, but Ray grabbed the wrench and started tugging it. Not giving up. I lost my balance right there and crashed into the tire rack where the tires ended up falling off the rack and onto Trip Murphy's stock car. Trip looked over at us, and then back at the camera saying,

"Excuse me for a moment." Trip starts coming over to us. Upset.

"This isn't a playground for kids. This is a garage, where people work on cars, for serious racers." He right there notices me.

"Alexis Rounds. I haven't seen you since you were 13. I remember you used to hang around me like you were my dog." I felt my face started turning red, remembering those days. Silently praying that Trip didn't notice.

"It's nice to see you, too." I exclaimed.

"Would you come over here, Crash." Crash comes over and looks at Trip.

"Tell everybody what you said about Ray." Trip looking back at us.

"In the way, Ray."

"Oh, that's harsh."

"Why don't you dare say that to my fist!" Ray comes at Trip, but is being held back by Sodapop, and Steve.

"Hey," Everyone turns around to see my step dad come up to Trip.

"Skip, I mean Trip. We got that big speedway race coming up in about 3 and half weeks. How about you take the circus down the road and we'll settle are arguments there. Ok?"

"Whatever you say, Mr. Peyton. You know, I got nothing but respect for you,"

"Well, thank you."

"I just feel bad that you gotta watch your family dynasty go down in flames." *winks at Alexis and walks out of garage* I look over at my step dad, to see he was sad. But quickly recovered, putting a smile back on his face.

"Let's go get you a graduation present, Alexis." said Mike, as he headed to his pickup before I could even protest.
