"I can't believe they'ed shut down a major highway just for a simple club race."
"There's going to be a SUPER GT race after my race.
Besides, the Japanese have a passion for racing."
"Can we go out after this?"
"Can't, I'm still gonna be busy after this.
I don't have time for a date"
"Aww 'cmon Alex."
"Sorry Erica but I just can't."
As Alex emerged from the garage door on the track, he recieved the shock of his life. He saw his driving school rival
Vladimir Vicarev
"Vladimir...."
"What do you want, Sanchez?"
"Nice Blue Skyline you got there."
"Too bad I can't say the same for your 🤬 Alfa."
"We'll see who's car is 🤬 on the streets
"Ok then!"
After the confrontation, Alex returned to his car.
"Who the 🤬 is the Russian?"
"Rival from driving school. He thinks he's the best out there."
"Just focus Alex."
"Yeah I know."

"I'll teach that piz-da a lesson not to mess with me!"
"Just because this car won a lot of rally races doesn't mean I can beat these guys on the streets too!"
"These guys are in for a big surprise!"
"Another Celica, no problem"
"It might not be a rotary, but it's still a Mazda."
"That Alfa is nothing compared to my Beamer"
"It's show time Alfa!"
"Time to show them what VTEC can do."
"I'll catch up to them thanks to the engine swap."
"I hope my wife doesn't watch this race."
"I'll show that Civic what a real Type R is!"
"I'm so gonna lose this race..."
"Green light!! Go! Go! Go!"
"Let's do it!"
"There's the first corner"
"Hmmm... Almost too easy."
"Nice passing!"
"Something tells me these guys aren't going to give up their places so easily. Especially Vicarev."
"Gotta catch up to that Celica..."
Meanwhile up front...
Vicarev's Crew Chief: "Sanchez already passed 2 cars on the first turn."
"His car's too heavy he won't catch up to my Skyline."
"What do I have to do to reach them?"
"Can't...reach...the Celica."
" 'Cmon!! 'Cmoooooonnnn!!!!!!"
"Almost there!"
"No! He's pulling away!"
"Try to brake late!"
"Whoops too wide sucka!"
"Now's your chance,go!"
"Gotcha!"
"1 down, 3 to go."
"Whoa! How fast is that Primera?"
"I guess that Celica's out of luck"
"Look out Vlad, your in for a fight!"
"Ugh! Your all gonna get it!"
"These guys are too close for comfort."
"Looks like these Celica's put up a fight more than the other car's"
"These guys always want it the hard way."
"But my way is even harder"
"Last two, keep going!
"🤬 there too fast!"
"Just a bit moooore!! 'Cmon Alex you got him!"
"Kanina pa ako na bubuwisit sa Primera na eto!" (Translation: "I'm getting pissed at this Primera for a while now!")
"There! How's that?"
Alex decided to sent a message to Vladimir by hitting his car from behind
"Here a little present for ya!"
"Oomph!"
Then suddenly the Primera was sneaking up from behind
"🤬 that car is annoying!"
"At least that's one thing we can agree on!"
"Sorry boys, but this is my race!"
"YEAAAAHHH!!!!"
"Thats what I'm talking about baby!"
But as Red-Line Racing was celebrating, Vladimir was furious
"Have to get away from him."
The rest aren't too far behind
(View from Alex's rear view mirror)
"Oh no!"
"*sigh* That was close!"
"Make sure he stay's behind!"
"Home stretch baby!"
As Alex raced by, the spectators went wild. Alex had plenty of fans in the stands
"WHOOO!!!! YEAH!!!"
Alex and the rest of the team were dancing like there dumb.
Reporter's, spectator's and every one in Japan we're shocked and in awe.
As the team was packing up Alex and Erica were enjoying a Venti-sized Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino.
Then as the two approached Erica's S2000, she suddenly tackled Alex forcing him inside the car and attempted to kiss him.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!"
"What? I was just helping you remember the old days."
"I told you, I don't have time for a date ok!? I'll have time for us to be together another time!"
"...Oh...Ok...Sorry"
"Hey...don't get mad. Ok"
"Don't worry I'm not..."
"Thanks for understanding. Now can you please let me out of this car"
"Ok...*Opens door*"
After that, Erica was silent the whole day.
She started to wonder why Alex acted unlike back then.
After pacing back and forth. He finally realized that the old Alex was gone. She wept silently, but was determined to get the old Alex back.
