Chapter 12 - The Yukamobile Returns

Dave pulled up at TJ’s garage.

“TJ!”
“Dave, you’re back already? You finished work two hours ago, you don’t need to be here for another twelve hours yet.”
“Who do you know that owns a modified blue sedan?”
“A modified blue sedan? That’s the sort of thing my mother would say. I thought you knew your cars, man.”
“It shot past me at god knows what speed!”
“How fast were you going?”
”170-ish.”
“Could be anything then. Probably some BMW driver. Why are you so shaken up about it?”
“I didn’t even see it coming…”
“Surely you saw the back of it?”
”Disappeared as fast as it appeared.”
“A ghost?”
”TJ.”
”Haha I’m sorry man. It’s nothing to get worked up about, go get some rest.”
”Alright…”

Dave walked back to the Vitz and drove home.

“Modified blue sedan… Hahaha. I know of only one modified blue sedan that could be hammering it down route 7 and it sure as hell aint no BMW.”

Later on…

Kei was laying down on the sofa, bored of waiting for Yuka to return.

“Come on Yuka… I’m starving!”

A car pulled up outside. Kei couldn’t recognise the sound. She went out to the window and peered outside.

“No way…”

Kei rushed outside.

“Yuka! You’re back!”
“Hey Kei, sorry I’m late.”
“Is that…?”

RSG-0268.jpg


“Yep.”
“It looks so aggressive now.”
“Matches the performance.”
“Does this mean the old Yuka is back?”
”Oh hell yes it does!”

RSG-0269.jpg

“Anyway, I’m hungry. What’s for dinner?”
“I didn’t make any dinner…”
“Why not?”
”I thought I told you to grab us some sushi on the way home…”
”Oops.”
“Oh Yuka, what am I going to do with you?”
“I was just excited about getting my car back and I forgot.”
“It’s alright Yuka.”
“How about I make pancakes?”
”You? Make pancakes?”
”Yeah! How hard can it be?”
”I’ve got to see this…”

They entered the apartment, Yuka looked back at the Civic.

“Welcome home, Civic.”

The next day…

Yuka pulled up to the entry gates at the Suzuka circuit.

“Welcome to Suzuka, do you have your entry form Miss?”
“Yeah, here it is.”
“You’re entering the feature race, in this car?”
“Yup.”
”I wish you the best of luck. Have a safe race.”

Yuka shook her head and headed over to the pit lane.

“The nerve of that guy. You’d think a guy who works at a race track would learn to respect all types of car.”

Yuka pulled in to an empty parking space behind the pits. A group of cars had already started leaving the pit lane.

“Guess I’m watching the newbies first.”

Yuka eyed up the group. She spotted a familiar red car.

“Is that…? Wow, it is. It’s Dave’s Vitz. I wonder if he’ll win, he only came second to me last time.”

The cars came around the final bend for a flying start.

”Looks like they’re about to begin.”

Starting Grid
1. Grey Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder
2. Orange Ford Focus ST
3. Blue Ford Focus ST170
4. Red Citroen Xantia
5. Dave’s Red Toyota Vitz
6. Silver Honda Civic Type R EK9
7. Yellow Fiat Coupe
8. Red Honda Integra Type R


Yuka took a closer look at the cars whilst they passed by.

“Ugh, an Eclipse. At least it’s not over done like it’s a 2 Fast 2 Furious reject.”

RSG-0270.jpg


“A Focus? Seriously? That’s a grandmother’s car. In orange too, yuck!”

RSG-0271.jpg


“Another Focus… Wait, didn’t I race him down route 7 a few weeks ago?”

RSG-0272.jpg


“Another grandma car, ugh.”

RSG-0273.jpg


“I have to admit, that Vitz doesn’t look too bad with those wheels on it.”

RSG-0274.jpg


“That EK9 looks good. I wonder if it’s tuned.”

RSG-0275.jpg


“What the heck is that? It looks Italian, so it’ll be fast.”

RSG-0276.jpg


“Integra Type R! I get weak at the knees every time I see one…”

RSG-0277.jpg


“And they’re off!”

RSG-0278.jpg


“Dave is in trouble already.”

RSG-0279.jpg


“What a bunch of… You can’t brake like that when you’re all bunched up! Sheesh!”

RSG-0280.jpg


“Dave must be crapping himself down there.”

RSG-0281.jpg


“Way off the racing line there.”

RSG-0282.jpg


“Well he’s sort of doing better now.”

RSG-0283.jpg


“He’s really flying now.”

RSG-0284.jpg


“That Eclipse will be tough to overtake.”

RSG-0285.jpg


“That’s a perfect overtaking spot if you’ve got power.”

RSG-0286.jpg


“He actually pulled it off, impressive.”

RSG-0287.jpg


“You need to focus harder! The Vitz is up your exhaust now!”

RSG-0288.jpg


“Told you!”

RSG-0289.jpg


“Just this guy left to overtake. Go on Dave!”

RSG-0290.jpg


“Way too late Dave!”

RSG-0291.jpg


“And into the kitty litter…”

RSG-0292.jpg


“His tyres must be covered in crap now.”

RSG-0293.jpg


“At least his position is safe.”

RSG-0294.jpg


“Cutting it a bit there eh?”

RSG-0295.jpg


“Grandma Grand Prix!”

RSG-0296.jpg


“Are you close enough yet, Dave?”

RSG-0297.jpg


“Is he going to pull off the same move twice in a row?”

RSG-0298.jpg


“Nice!”

RSG-0299.jpg


“Run Dave! Run!”

RSG-0300.jpg


“Don’t brake too late again!”

RSG-0301.jpg


“Oh! Bad luck.”

RSG-0302.jpg


“What are you going to do about this then, Dave?”

RSG-0303.jpg


“Around the outside? No?”

RSG-0304.jpg


“Inside! That should be the winning pass.”

RSG-0305.jpg


“Last turn! Stay in front Dave! Don’t lose it now!”

RSG-0306.jpg


“I said don’t lose it!”

RSG-0307.jpg


“Nice recovery at least.”

RSG-0308.jpg


“Nice win Dave!”

RSG-0309.jpg


Yuka walked towards the Civic.

“Our turn.”
 
I'm glad to see this wasn't an April Fool's chapter.

I suppose that after Yuka said, "How hard can it be?" she ended up getting the pancakes all messed up. :lol:

I was considering it but I didn't want to mess up my release schedule. :P As for the pancakes, well lets just say if Yuka was my other half, we'd be going out every day for dinner. No home cooking. Ever. :lol:
Another great installment. My fav character is Cooper, hope he continues to play a part in the narrative :)

I cant promise anything, but if you want more Cooper, I'll try and add more Cooper. :P

Good to know I'm not the only one here that has disastrous cooking. :lol:
 
Just a quick show of hands, who would be interested in a mini-chapter between main chapters? Not like a chapter 12.5, but rather the telling of events that were skipped over in previous chapters. Like Yuka's pancake making or TJ working on the Civic. Little bits like that.

If you want something like that, just give me a positive reaction and maybe suggest an event you'd like to read. Oh and as much fun as it would be to write it, I'm not doing any steamy scenes with Yuka and Kei. :P

Well you could do that to keep things interesting. Some of us want to know how good is Yuka in making pancakes... :lol:
 
Go for it! Pancakes, maybe TJ and the Skyline unless that's planned for later. Give us some good character development stuff! :D
 
Chapter 13 - It’s Over 9000!

“Please bare with us while we move the barriers! We will be using the full length of Suzuka for our feature race!”

Yuka sat in the boot of the Civic, enjoying a cup of hot chocolate before the race. A man approached her.

“Baby, hey baby.”

Yuka ignored the man.

“Don’t ignore me baby. I just want to ask you out.”

Yuka looked up briefly, before returning to her drink.

”Hey! How dare you ignore me!”
“I’m not ignoring you, I’m giving you a hint, but since you cant understand, I’ll spell it out for you. I’m not interested.”
”Hah! No girl isn’t interested in me!”
”Well this girl is, so deal with it.”
“Lets make a bet then.”
“Okay, I’m listening.”
“If I win, you go out with me. I choose the place and what you wear.”
“Pfft. Sure. And if I win?”
”You tell me.”
“Alright. If I win, you buy me a car. I choose the car and where it’ll be purchased from.”
”Whatever, deal. My NSX will thrash this Civic.”
”I’ll see you on the track then.”
”Mind giving me your name baby? I’m Dex.”
”I’m Yuka. And if you call me baby one more time, I’m going to castrate you with my front bumper.”

Dex walked off.

“Racers involved in the feature race, you have ten minutes to get ready.”

Yuka finished her hot chocolate and closed the boot.

”Show time!”

Yuka joined the group of racers and began the rolling start.

Starting Grid
1. Dex’s White Honda NSX Type R NA1
2. Black Nissan 300ZX Z32
3. Black Nissan Fairlady Z Z32
4. Blue Nissan Stagea
5. Silver Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo
6. Red Nissan Skyline 350GT
7. Yuka’s Blue Civic Type R
8. Silver Nissan Skyline GT-R R32
9. Blue Nissan Fairlady Z Z33
10. Red Honda NSX Type R NA2
11. Green Honda NSX NA1
12. Silver Honda Accord Coupe


“Finally! I’m going to get a date with a pretty girl! No more desperate girls!”

RSG-0310.jpg


“All we need to do is overtake this NSX and Team ZX can get a 1-2 finish.”

RSG-0311.jpg


“Lets tag team this NSX.”

RSG-0312.jpg


“What these people don’t realise, is that the Stagea is essentially an R33 wagon!”

RSG-0313.jpg


“My GTO will win with minimal effort.”

RSG-0314.jpg


“You don’t need a GT-R to be the best!”

RSG-0315.jpg


“That Dex makes NSX drivers look bad. Lets see how cocky he is when he’s chasing a girl he cant catch.”

RSG-0316.jpg


“The original Godzilla! No modern crap for me!”

RSG-0317.jpg


“Don’t count out the Z33 because of the Z34.”

RSG-0318.jpg


“I hope Kyle doesn’t mind me borrowing the prototype, it’s just a shame to see it collect dust just because the finished settings are on a different car.”

RSG-0319.jpg


“Amazing. In twelve years, Honda barely changed the NSX. Just goes to show how amazing it really is!”

RSG-0320.jpg


“I’m rooting for that Civic driver. Show these guys the might of the FF chassis!”

RSG-0321.jpg


“Go go go!”

RSG-0322.jpg


“Oh hell yes! This acceleration is nuts!”
“She’s passing me already?!”

RSG-0323.jpg


“I can brake so much later than everyone else, this tune up is fantastic!”

RSG-0324.jpg


“Holy crap that Civic is fast!”

RSG-0325.jpg


“The steering is so sharp!”

RSG-0326.jpg


“There’s that acceleration again!”

RSG-0327.jpg


“The Civic is already on my tail!”

RSG-0328.jpg


“She walked me!”

RSG-0329.jpg


“No way! That Civic is taking everyone down so easily!”

RSG-0330.jpg


“Well not me! I’ll keep running away until the end!”
“That Z is fast, but it’s relying on turbo power far too much.”

RSG-0331.jpg


“I’m out-accelerating you on the shorter straights.”

RSG-0332.jpg


“I just cant get over how much more agile you’ve become!”

RSG-0333.jpg


“It’s like falling in love all over again!”

RSG-0334.jpg


“That crazy girl! She’s too damn fast! I’m barely holding onto the road!”

RSG-0335.jpg


“I’m not even breaking a sweat, are you?”

RSG-0336.jpg


“You’re finished now!”

RSG-0340.jpg


“All clear! Move over!”

RSG-0337.jpg


“Damn it!”
”Woooooooooooooooo!!”

RSG-0338.jpg


“Too easy!”

RSG-0339.jpg


“I didn’t expect him to be so far ahead… Damn. I guess we’ll have to go faster then.”

RSG-0341.jpg


“I’m closing the gap little by little!”

RSG-0342.jpg


“I’m beginning to think you’re good Dex, but in all honesty I think it’s the NSX doing all the work.”

RSG-0343.jpg


“Keep running boy!”

RSG-0344.jpg


“I need to clear corners faster so I can gain faster!”
“You aren’t taking sixth from me you stupid NSX!”
“The lead NSX is far ahead with the Civic not far behind, I need to pass these midfielders already…”

RSG-0345.jpg


“Closer… Closer…”

RSG-0346.jpg


“Are you braking early? Or are my brakes just freaking awesome?”

RSG-0347.jpg


“Keep running Dex! Keep running!”
“Yuka, save your energy for our date!”

RSG-0348.jpg


“Want to get closer, Dex?”
“Get off me! Save it for tonight!”

RSG-0351.jpg


“Damn I’m losing him!”
“You can’t keep up with me Yuka! You should’ve taken my advice!”

RSG-0352.jpg


“Faster, faster!”

RSG-0353.jpg


“Missed me?”

RSG-0354.jpg


“Rawr!”

RSG-0355.jpg


“We’re even down the long straights.”

RSG-0356.jpg


“But when it comes to corners, I’ve got a clear edge which lets me hang onto you and pressure you the entire circuit!”
“Don’t you have anything better to do than breathe down my neck Yuka?!”

RSG-0357.jpg


“Alright! Here’s my chance!”

RSG-0358.jpg


“No… Don’t you dare overtake me!”
“This one is mine!”

RSG-0359.jpg


“Bye Dex!”
”Noooooooooo!!!!!!”

RSG-0360.jpg


“Come catch me!”
”Damn she’s passed me! Who’s that behind me now?”
”Ah, this is where you two have been hiding.”

RSG-0361.jpg


“Final lap!”

RSG-0362.jpg


“That blue Civic, didn’t we tune that?”
“Damn where did this red NSX come from?!”

RSG-0363.jpg


“Cant keep up, Dex?”

RSG-0364.jpg


“This Civic just keeps going faster and faster!”

RSG-0365.jpg


“I’ve already lost a date! I’m not losing my pride too!”

RSG-0366.jpg


“Just another kilometre or two and I’ll have a new car!”

RSG-0367.jpg


“Damn that Civic is fast. I’ll settle with taking second. Losing to one of our own cars isn’t so bad.”

RSG-0368.jpg


“Don’t scratch my car buddy, Kyle will kill me if I spend any more cash on resprays.”

RSG-0369.jpg


“Yes! We won Civic! We won! You’re back and faster than ever!”
“After all that I came third?!”
”RKM first and second? Eh I’ll accept that.”

RSG-0370.jpg


Later on…

“So Dex, how was the race?”
”I don’t want to talk about it.”
”Oh you’ve changed your tune! So anyway, you’re lucky because I’m happy enough with my Civic so I don’t want a new car.”
”Really?”
”So instead, you’re going to buy my friend a car. She cant drive so it’ll have to be a Kei car or something small.”
“Great…”
”Give me your number. I’ll call you when I find something.”
”Can I have your number?”
”No.”
“Okay…”
 
Loved this chapter. It's kinda funny.

Lol at Dex failing in being with girls and you driving teh red NSX Roj. :lol:
 
Nice cameo, Roj. ;)

Can you honestly blame me? :lol: A red NSX shows up with semi-racing (might be sports) exhaust, starts further back than Yuka's Civic and ends up finishing in second place. I just had to. I just had to! :lol:
 
I can think of 2 different types of cars coming up:

1. super-fast supercar (NSX, GT-R, etc.)

2. a Kei car for Kei because Kei likes that Kei cars are called "Kei" cars

I'm going with #2.

Funnily enough, these are the two scenarios I came up too. Which one did I choose? You'll just have to wait and see. :P
 
Odd, I just recently made a Civic like Yuka's!
Only tuned to 500pp and the suspension ripped from your RKM civic.
I think that a super-car race would be the popular vote(at least it's my vote!)
 
Meh, the story's alright so far but to be honest, every time I read a chapter I get bored quickly because of the fact that a 317 BHP Civic flies by the majority of racers like they're not even moving. I also don't grasp how a VTEC with a body kit fetched from the bottom of a cereal box can outmaneuver a dedicated sports car like it's nothing. It's uninteresting that way because you know exactly what's going to happen before you begin the plot: The main character of the chapter is going to win, or accomplish something extremely difficult like they're having a cup of tea. And even better; before a loss could be accomplished in "the little VTEC that could," it'll be replaced by something even more ridiculous that can probably run in circles around a sports car like a GT-R somehow.

Good luck with the story anywho, this is just me ranting like always. 👍
