Thursday night, the streets of Tokyo 2040 AD
Okay, Momoko had kind of gotten over her horror factor of this version of Tokyo. Mostly with a full day of exploring while chanting "it's not Tokyo City" over and over.
On one of her trips through the town, though, she discovered a street race, and she was almost immediately hooked. No not on the dancing or the partying, the guys hitting on her, or the... other things being offered. No. The actual racing! Well, before it was broken up by what passed for law enforcement there.
It wasn't until tonight that Momoko finally found them again on the other side of town (near where her elementary school should be!) and she dragged Scully along behind her to one of the guys she'd seen at the last race.
"/Excuse me! I know we're new in town, but can we join?/" Momoko was fairly bouncing. Scully... was not.
"/You got money, I don't care where you're from./" The man looked her up and down and Momoko was glad she had realized she stuck out when wearing something pink and cute, and changed into some boring clothes. Scully was... well, Scully, and really, that look she was leveling the man (and occasionally Momoko) more than made up for any outfit. "/How much you wanna bet and on who?/"
Momoko pouted, her shoulders sagging. "/I want to drive!/"
"What is going on, Momoko?" Scully asked with a sigh as the man laughed, hysterically at them. "I thought we were going to a race?"
"We are, he's just being a total jerk."
Finally the man stopped laughing and waved a pinky-missing hand towards one of the cars behind him. "/Sure, sure, baby. Go talk to the teams, and if you find someone willing, let me know. I'll up the odds./"
Momoko gave him a glare, then grabbed for Scully's hand again, dragging her off towards a pretty yellow car first. "Come on, we have to see if one of the teams will let me drive for them."
"Wait, What? You're going to DRIVE? Here?"
"If I can! Come on!"
For one, please!
