The Revenge Of The Ice-Queen
Chapter Two: New Cars And Horses
The next day Crystal was just wondering whether to go into a sports car showroom to look at cars as she was thinking of getting a new one when she saw Chad. She whimpered inwardly and quickly making up her mind, darted into the place. " I would like to see all your Ferraris please." she stated clearly. " All of them... madam?" gasped the salesman, surprised. " Yes. All of them please." Crystal nodded in reply. " We have got Ferrari GTOs, Ferrari GTBs, Ferrari F-40s, Ferrari F-50s, Ferrari F-60s, Ferrari Testarosas, Ferrari 348s and Ferrari 355s currently." declared the salesman. " Which ones have tinted windows?" she queried. The salesman blinked then replied: " They all do madam." Crystal pondered for a moment, deep in thought. " Can I see the GTOs please?" she said, finally. The salesman nodded and responded: " This way please madam." He walked with her over to a far part of the showroom, away from the doors and the windows, preventing any-one seeing into the showroom. " Here are our selection of GTOs. They are all imported straight from Italy as soon as they are made. These ones just arrived a few days ago." He said. Seeing a jet black Ferrari GTO, Crystal gasped, pointing to it: " I like that one." The salesman inwardly face palmed then said, calmly: " Which one madam?" Crystal walked over to the one that she wanted and said, grinning: " This one. I will take it!" She paid for it then, as well as signing all the necessary forms and the salesman handed her the keys. " Enjoy your new car Miss Black-Wood." he smiled. " Oh I will do." Crystal chuckled. She got into it then, proudly before asking: " Just by the way, what can the GTO do that makes it different than the other Ferraris?" " Well...." began the salesman, a tall, fair skinned, blue eyed, slim built, and white blond haired man called Rick." It is a diesel fuelled car and it can go over two hundred miles an hour." " Cool!" exclaimed Crystal. " The top can also go down." finished Rick. " Nice!" she chuckled." See you!" " Bye." laughed Rick. She sped out of the showroom then and down the busy main road. ~ I am untouchable unless a Porsche comes by.~ she thought, chuckling softly. ~ Perfect! I just wish that it was a hot sunny day.... Then I could put the roof down.~ Sometime later Chad saw the Ferrari and sighed as he got into his old Range Rover: " That is a nice car. I wonder who owns it? They are lucky who-ever they are." Crystal meanwhile was having a brilliant time, loving the awed look on the faces of the few people she saw that she knew. " Just to think that they don't realise that it is me, is laughable," she giggled softly as she stopped at a set of traffic lights, eyes sparkling with amusement." Life is good when you are rich and have a Ferrari!" When the lights changed, she sped on, staying well within the speed limit though. ~ I think I should give them a hint.~ she thought, smirking a bit. ~ I mean... they aren't that clever after all. Not really~ she mentally laughed, coldly. ~ I mean... really...~ So, laughing softly, Crystal slid one of her Roxette CDs into the CD-player and put down one window. The CD played, almost instantly. Further down the road three of Crystal's friends were talking. " Have either of you seen Crystal lately?" asked a very tall, slim-built, dark skinned, green eyed, brown haired man, Lucian. " I would like to ask her something." " So do I." agreed a very tall man with medium build, silvery blond hair, tanned skin and silvery grey eyes, Morgan. " I want to ask her if she wants to buy Finch." " Knowing Crystal, she probably will buy the pony from you for double what he is worth Morgan." laughed a tall, tanned, big built, black haired and blue eyed man, Josh. They all laughed then, fondly. " Hey! Look at that beautiful Ferrari!" gasped Josh, pointing to it. " Can you two hear what I can hear coming from that car?!" Lucian asked, surprised. " That is Roxette and if I am not mistaken that is her Look Sharp album playing and that song is The Look." " It can't be Crystal. No way." decided Morgan. " She has not got a Ferrari yet." " I agree." said Josh. " Crystal may have a Porsche but she does not have a Ferrari and I think she said she did not want one." " No she said that she would think about it." chuckled Lucian. " But even so, I don't think that is Crystal driving that car." " It is just pure co-incidence that the driver, likely male, likes Roxette." declared Morgan. The other two nodded a bit, watching the car. Seeing them, Crystal smirked and carefully skidded across the road and slid to a stop nearby. " Heya guys. Want a lift?" she laughed. " It is Crystal!" gasped Lucian, gob smacked. " How the?!" " I saved money and do please remember that I have shares in various big companies too as well as running some." Crystal chuckled then. " I still have a couple of billion, at least, saved up too." The three blinked, totally gob smacked. " A couple of billion? At the least?!" gasped Josh. " You are rolling in it Crystal." chuckled Morgan. " Yes. Do you three want a lift?" she grinned. " Of course we want a lift." they all said, piling into the car. Crystal laughed again, running one hand through her fringe. " Where to guys?" she smiled warmly. " Anywhere you want to take us Crystal." said Morgan, sitting in the front passenger seat. " It is your car." " Okay." she grinned." Keep your hair on." Crystal pushed the pedal nearly all the way to the floor and the car leapt forwards. The speed limit in Canada, on the highways at least was well over one hundred miles an hour. Of course on the lesser roads it was far lower not even reaching forty miles an hour. When they were a couple of hours out of Vancouver, to the east, Crystal slowed down and pulled off the road into a lay-by before stopping the car. " So Crystal, would you like to buy Finch from me?" asked Morgan " Yes. Of course I would." said Crystal, nodding. " I have had a nice stable and a beautiful field waiting for him for two whole years, Morgan my darling." " Well I am selling him for $3000." said the man, fondly. Crystal pondered for a second. " That is not a bad price." she finally decided. " I will double that and take him. You get $6000 for him." Morgan blinked and then nodded: " Okay. I will be down on Saturday with him then." Lucian and Josh stifled snickers. " What is up with you two?" asked Crystal, turning to look at them. " Oh... uh..." stuttered Lucian. " Josh said you would pay double for Finch and well, you just did." Crystal laughed: " I see. And of course I did. Finch is a dear beautiful pony." Morgan chuckled. " Oh Morgan. Another thing." Crystal remembered. " You don't know anyone that is selling an Arab stallion do you? I am thinking of setting up a breeding program thing and maybe selling the foals etc. Maybe, I don't really know as yet." " I do actually. They live not far away from me." Morgan replied. " They are selling their youngest stallion at the moment. He is old enough to breed but has not yet. I will give you the address at the weekend." " Okay, thanks Morgan." Crystal smiled. " What colour is he and how much are they wanting for him?" " He's black, completely and they want $5000 for him." said Morgan in reply. " It's a pretty good price hmm?" Crystal nodded, agreeing then said: " Definitely. It's a very good price. Cheap too." Lucian and Josh blinked in surprise but remained silent. " Crystal, I'd like to ask you if you would like to come to my Jeet Kune Do Hall some-time?" Lucian asked a little while later. " Maybe some-time in the future, Lucian, when I have more time." Crystal replied, smiling fondly at him. " Thank you for asking me anyway. I feel honoured." Lucian blushed and smiled: " It is okay. The offer will always be open to you just in case you change your mind." " Okay Lucian I will keep that in mind. Thank you." she grinned. A couple of hours later they all arrived back in Vancouver and Crystal left them all at their various homes before going home herself.
