Daisy had spent most\nof the time doing her best to keep the car under wraps as well as secretly\ninvite everyone she could think of from the school to the small mouse's\nupcoming party, and keep her in the dark about the event. Lilliana had\napparently seen the stress building in the moose over the past week or so, or\njust listened to the repeated comments about needing to fine tune the Charger\nbefore Cecily and the other girls had to take it off the cool driving range. \n \nThey had pulled the Camaro on to the car dolly and hooked it\nup to the Charger and were now headed to Lee USA Speedway for just that and\napparently to let Lilly pull out the stops on Fefnir. The liger had stretched\nout in the back seat and had apparently dozed off for the ride while Daisy sat\nin the passenger seat so that Cecily could get as much practice in the car as\nshe could before hitting the Drivers test at the end of the month. Cecily\nherself sat in the drivers seat, her thumb on a small clip on rig on the\nsteering wheel that held the radio remote, her eyes locked on the road save the\nquick glances in the mirrors. \n \n\"You know you won't be able to play with the radio during\ndriver's ed,\" the moose said casually glancing over at the small mouse. \"Before\nyou even say it short stack, I'm not gonna debate it with you. I know you don't\ntake your eyes off the road, but that's not what Mr. Burke is going to look at\nwhen he's sitting here in this seat. As far as he's concerned, it's a\ndistraction.\"\n \n\"I know,\" the mouse replied as her thumb glided over the\nbuttons. \"Won't be able to listen on the test either. Alex doesn't let me\nlisten when we are out in her car either, mostly because I change the channel.\nBut at least all her controls are built into the steering wheel this still\nfeels a little awkward. not as intuitive.\"\n \n\"You take the mission and parameters as given,\" the groggy\nvoice said from the back seat. \"If Mister Shortbus doesn't want her to use the\nradio and she freaks out it's on him. But I think she has it made, who else has\ndriven the heap across the country and around town?\"\n \n\"Lilly,\" Cecily said glancing in the rearview for a moment.\n\"This car is on par with the corvette as far as safety and basic features go.\nThen Hank said...\" She trailed off as if she started to say something she wasn't\nsupposed to. \"It's a good car, and you know it.\"\n \n\"Don't even worry about it Sisy,\" the moose herm said\nflatly. \"It's not a shove me so she doesn't like it, fuck if I even care\nanymore. It's my car, paid for by me not my asshole father and I had to work my\nfurry ass off to pull that off. Not too shabby for a sixteen year old moose\nherm in my book, fuck what anyone else thinks.\"\n \n\"Yeah, Yeah,\" Lilliana said shifting her weight in the back\nseat. \"It runs on gas and goes fast, new model with all the 'Standard Safety\nFeatures' and fancy shit like that. It can go from zero to who gives a fuck in\nten seconds. Just be glad that Blackfoot kid gave it a good bill of health.\"\n \n\"Whatever, you wanted to exercise your 'beast' and you're\ngetting your chance. I wouldn't have given a shit about coming here but I can't\ntune this thing in on the streets and it needs to be done. Being set flat zero\nit's eating into the fuel milage like a beaver on a tree and if I don't get it\ndone it'll just fuck up the work Jimmy did on the engine. Hell the oil turns to\ncrud in fifteen hundred miles as it is now,\" Daisy complained. \"Besides, with\nSisy, Midori and... shit... \" she said trailing off searching for the other girls\nname. Elena yea that's it, with them having to use it for drivers ed they don't\nneed it throwing craps because it's fouling itself up.\" Turning her head to\nlook back at the liger she ended with, \"so for all I care, blow me LIlly.\"\n \n\"She's just giving you a hard time,\" Cecily said, as she\nswitched the radio off. \"Hank told her he wouldn't touch it. Too much TLC went\ninto...\" She trailed off again. \"I think we're here.\" The small mouse said as\nthey pulled into the line of cars and trucks outside the lot waiting to get\nparked.\n \nThe liger sat up and leaned forward as she said, \"Don't\nworry about this Cupcake, I've got the entry fees. All you should need is your\npapers and to sign the waiver if you want to run any races.\"\n \nThe small oval track was a bit out of town in a clearing in\nthe woods. The group there seemed small, seven or eight cars and trucks\ncarrying other cars. They slowly followed the line as they all pulled into a\ndirt lot in the middle of the track inside the pit loop. As soon as they had\nall gotten out of the car and stretched Lilliana looked at Cecily quickly then\nto Daisy. \"You two go ahead and drop the Camaro, I'll get the paperwork\nstarted.\"\n \nAs she walked back to the rear of the trailer and started to\npull out the ramps to unload the classic Camaro Daisy looked at her girlfriend,\n\"you mind telling me why the fuck Hank would be touching my car in the first\nplace squeaker?\"\n \n\"Well,\" the small mouse said not making eye contact as she\nhelped Daisy with the ramps as much as she could . \"You know he's a bit of a\ngear head... at times... and um...\" She looked up at her. \"The other day I kind of\nwalked in on them trying to get him to do something and he wouldn't do it.\" She\nsat down on the extended ramp as she continued, \"It was after you left for\nwork, and he said he wouldn't touch the Charger, it was... um put together with\ntender loving care and it would be wrong to mess with it. Then he went on to\ntalk about stuff I didn't really understand, got all technical. He lost\neveryone but Lilly after he started talking about a sleeper. It was the same\nday she said we were going to come out here for your tuning and to stress test\nthe Camaro.\"\n \n\"Can't get to me as bad directly so they go after my car...\nfigures,\" Daisy said. \"Knowing Hank even a little I know he wouldn't let them\ntalk him into doing anything dangerous no matter what, so probably just more\nmind fuck from the others.\" Walking up the other ramp to start removing the\nchains holding the Camaro in place Daisy sighed softly. \"From the sound of it\nthough, whatever they were trying to get him to do Hank figured out what I knew\nall along.\" Turning to the small mouse she said, \"come on short shit, you can\nreach under this thing and drag out the binders when I get the tension off the\nchains better than I can while I fill you in on something.\" As the first chain\nwent slack the moose herm started talking again. \"Jimmy, the guy that I was\ndating when I got the Charger was more than a good mechanic. His dad races at\nPikes Peak Raceway, semi-pro class. Jimmy, his son, was always in the pits and\nlearned a lot from the guys his dad hired for his team. Long story short he's\nan ace mechanic, certifications out the ass, and he builds racing engines,\nthats how he earns his living. The charger isn't just a little more than stock.\nThe engine has had a shit ton of machine work done on it, and a shit ton of\nbolt ons that unless you know where to look you won't see, a sleeper as they\ncall cars built like that. It's way more than what it looks like it is when you\npop the hood. He didn't do it to be an asshole, which is why some people build\nsleeper cars. He did it to give me a fast car that would still be street legal,\npass safety and emission tests, and with the on-board ECU and a laptop be\nprogrammable to hit either end of the spectrum but not look like it had been\nsetup for speed so I wouldn't have to constantly be dealing with the cops\ntrying to impound it on the street. I hardly ever run it hard so honestly I\nreally don't think about it much. Fuck even back home I didn't go around\nbragging about the damn thing because I didn't need the hassle,\" Daisy\nexplained as the last of the bindings went slack.\n \n\"So um... like the cutoffs Hank put in Fefnir to keep lilly\nfrom unintentionally drawing attention to it on the street.,\" Cecily said as\nshe hopped into the driver seat to back the freshly washed and polished car off\nthe trailer. \"They didn't try to hide anything, just turn it off or what ever\nin the city, even though Hank said it passed emissions and Safety with it all\non.\"\n \n\"Yea the same idea, but the Camaro passed here, in New\nHampshire, out in Colorado the safety inspection is more than Derek did to pass\nit for you to use it for drivers ed. They go over a car thoroughly out there\nbecause so many young guys do hop them up beyond what's legal on the streets.\nOr get really stupid and try to swap the plates from their road car to a car\nthey built to take up to PPIR and run. Shit like that is what made them crack\ndown on it so hard. But the way Jimmy set up the Charger even if they found it\nduring inspection it's nearly all controlled through an advanced computer in\nthe car that can only be accessed with a laptop and a specific program. No way\nto change anything on the fly. And it's illegal for anyone in the car to be on\na laptop if the car is moving. If I did run it it was only on the tracks at\nPikes Peak so I didn't have to worry about shit,\" Daisy said as she stepped over\nthe side of the trailer. \"You set squeaker, roll it off and make the liger\nhappy.\"\n \nCecily checked all the switches and gages before turning the\nengine over then checked them all again before dropping it into reverse and\nletting the beast begin to roll slowly off the trailer. She stopped it and\nkilled the motor as soon as all four wheels were on the ground. She looked out\nthe window at the moose with a smile as she said, \"I wonder what Lilly is going\nto do with fewer rules to stop her.\"\n \n\"Few rules?\" the moose said laughing, \"girlfriend here as\nfar as I know there is only one rule she'll give a shit about... go fast.\"\nLooking across the track for a moment she said, \"that's what she brought fafnir\nhere for, to go fast and break in that engine. All that lugging it around town\nwas little more than to get the slow motion break in done. Keep it under three\nthousand RPMs for the first 500 miles to give the rings and lifters time to\nsettle in. Then take it someplace and open up a can of whoop ass to see if it\nstays in one piece.\"\n \n\"And to make punk kids run home crying to their mommy about\ngetting their riceburner whooped by classic American Muscle,\" the liger said as\nshe walked up behind the moose. \"But I need to run it a few laps with four and\neight cylinders running before I let the beast loose. Don't want them to get\nthe wrong idea about her or anything.\"\n \nSnickering as the liger spoke daisy turned around when she\nfinished and said, \"so a bait and fuck you run huh? That should be funny as\nhell to watch, always was at Pikes Peak.\" Turning back to her girlfriend daisy\nadded, \"oh one other thing I didn't tell you about the races out there\nsqueaker, and one of the reasons Jimmy built the Charger the way he did. Those\nraces? They were run and overseen by the Colorado state police. The race rules\nwere simple, you race against their interceptors, if you beat them... your car is\nwatched every inch, and you better keep it legal or they impound it and use it\nfor parts. That's why he worked it all through the computer, reset it for\nstreet and no way to get them on your ass unless you did it intentionally.\"\n \n»-(¯`·.·´¯)-\u003eBaseline\u003c-(¯`·.·´¯)-«\n \nCeily drove the Charger around the inner lane of the track\nand pit loop as she watched the other cars race around the track itself, as\nDaisy sat in the passenger seat watching the screen on the laptop. \"Okay Sisy,\nBring it up to freeway speed so I can get a baseline on it., before we pull out\nonto the track.\"\n \n\"Okay,\" the small mouse said as she watched the other cars\nwhizz by on their own practice laps. \"Can... can I turn on the radio?\" she asked\nwith a little bit of shake in her voice.\n \n\"Not yet hot stuff,\" Daisy said as she punched in several\nseries of numbers on the laptop before hitting the enter key. After a few\nmoments pause she said, \"okay, got the new low end set up, one more round to\nget us back into position then punch it and get us on the track, then you can\nturn on the radio.\"\n \nThe small mouse nodded and moved to the outer lane of the\npit loop and watched for her opening. Daisy saw her hesitate for a moment as\nher paw started to move for the shifter then returned the the wheel. A moment\nlater the Charger leaped forward as Cecily laid on the accelerator. Her head\nwhipped around to her blind spots in quick snaps as she moved onto the track.\nOnce the car was in a smooth roll and mixed in with the other cars all running\nabout the same speed she shot a fast glance to her girlfriend as her thumb\nrested on the remote button.\n \n\"Twenty laps, stay with the pack... and turn that bitch up to\neleven sweet stuff,\" the moose said with a huge grin on her face.\n \n The mouse tapped the\nbutton, flooding the driver's compartment with sound as she raised the volume,\nall but drowning out the sounds of the high speed cars around them. Daisy\nwatched Cecily as she easily relaxed into a calm state, even with the chaos\ngoing on around her with the high speed cars passing and being passed only\ninches apart. Her ears swiveled and twitched independently, like radar dishes\nhoming in on everything around her. She calmly managed the car within the\nhuddle, even avoiding a few close calls with other drivers nearly clipping the\nfront corners of the Charger. Her eyes moved across the front, side, and rear\nview mirrors as she used her left paw to make slight adjustments to them while\nthey moved.\n \n\"It's a little different when everyone is going fast,\" She\nsaid just above the sound of the music. Even with the change in environment\naround the car, Cecily seemed collected and in control of the situation.\n \nAs the exit of the pit area whipped past daisy turned her\nhead slightly as she said, \"that's nineteen, next one is twenty and should give\nme the best data for the resets. After the next one work to the inside and let\nher slow down on her own and head us into the pits. This is going to take a few\nminutes to do the calculations, and it's nearly impossible to enter them at\nspeed. We'll get it done and take her out again if you want, see if I need to\ntweak anything before I let you open it up.\"\n \nAs the lap progressed Cecily pushed her way through the\nhuddle to the inside of the track and let the car slow as they pulled around to\nthe pit. Soon she pulled next to the Camaro were Lilliana leaned under the\nhood. The liger stood up and looked at the pair as she asked, \"Everything going\nwell?\" nearly shouting over the sound that poured out of the car when the doors\nopened, cut off by the automatic car audio system.\n \nDaisy pushed the small yellow button just inside the glove\nbox popping the trunk open before she stepped out of the Charger. \"Yep, got\neverything recorded,\" she said holding up the closed laptop as she walked to\nthe rear of the car and pulled a black cloth case from the trunk. \"Just need to\nsit down and do the math and get the new numbers punched in. Hey Sisy, grab us\na drink from the cooler when you get out if you would hot stuff,\" she hollered\nas she walked over to the liger.\n \n\"See, that's what a spotter is for,\" the liger said as she\nslipped a screwdriver into her pocket, \"doing all the math.\" She glanced over\nat Cecily for a moment before looking back at the moose and asking, \"So how is\nshe doing?\"\n \n\"Pretty well,\" the moose said before looking the liger\nstraight in the eyes. \"In fact I'd say she's doing exactly as well as you\nalready know she is Lilly. Why the hell wouldn't she? Okay, I'm dense, and hard\nheaded, even for a moose and I know I'm not even close yet. I'm green and still\nnew to being her spotter, and I have a long way to go yet. But I am starting to\nlearn my job. You know exactly how\nwell she's doing because you're trained for this shit and way the fuck better\nat it than I can even hope to be. Recording this shit is mostly automatic, so I\ndid what I should be doing a better job at. Watching her and learning her. She\ndid great, like she always does when she's the one in control of the situation.\nThere's still a hell of a lot I don't know about her or her past, but I've\nfinally figured out one thing. What ever is back there, she didn't have control\nover a lot of it, and that's what set's her off because it scares the hell out\nof her.\" Seeing the look in the ligers eyes Daisy shook her head slightly, \"no\nI don't even think I know it all when it comes to her, fuck I know next to\nnothing, but I am learning. I don't have any choice, for her sake and for mine.\nI've given up on trying to figure the rest of you assholes out, it's a waste of\ntime. She's the only one I need to worry about, she's the one that's important,\nI get it. I'd just appreciate it if the rest of you would get up out of my face\na little bit and give me a chance is all.\"\n \n\"Trust me, Mousebait,\" the ligert said with a smile, \"You\nget every pass you earn. Besides, it's not like they dyed you pink or anything\nin the past two weeks is it? And you have all your cloths.\" she leaned against\nthe car as she looked at Daisy. \"Hell, I even think Hank might be defecting\nafter he got a look under that hood of yours, and thats saying alot. But you\nare right on point with what's important to everyone. You're filling a gap in\nher life that none of us will ever be able to fill. You are the link to things\nshe has buried that isn't in any paperwork, and I think you know what I mean.\nAnd I do appreciate what you are doing for her, and yourself. Now if you could\nonly keep her in one piece and out of harms way when we're not  there, that would be an achievement. Good\nthing she seems to be healing well. You know how hard is was to convince Boomer\nthat it wasn't your fault her arm was broken?\"\n \n\"No idea at all, but to get her to tell me about all of the\nthings you want to know...you better get the pink dye ready. The only way she's\ngoing to tell me is when, where, and how she's ready and in control of things.\nWhen she's ready to come to the mountain it'll happen, but the mountain may\nhave to not always be there for the small stuff to get her where she needs to\nbe for the big stuff to come out. I know that means more of the same kind of\nshit so I'll deal with it. Because in the end the only thing that matters is\nCecily and realizing her dream is a part of her that has to happen, even if it\nmeans breaking the mountain.\" Daisy looked over her shoulder to see the small\nmouse sliding from the drivers seat of the Charger. \"What ever it takes, she's\nwhat matters, I need to get this shit done and straighten out the Charger, straightening\nout her, is gonna take longer,\" the moose said as she walked over to the parked\ntrailer and sat on the end, opening the laptop to work on the cars settings.\n \n»-(¯`·.·´¯)-\u003eDriver's\nTraining\u003c-(¯`·.·´¯)-«\n \nThe trio was still busy with their calibrations when a\nToyota Prius rolled up and a familiar face stepped out. \"Good afternoon, Miss\nFargos,\" he said, using the plural form of Lilliana's last name. \"Hello, Miss\nDaniels. Fancy seeing you all here.\"\n \nPrompted by the sound of her driving instructor's voice and\nthe groan from under the nearby hood, Cecily looked up from watching Daisy type\nat the small laptop. With a smile she said, \"Good afternoon, Mr. Burke. We're\njust recalibrating  the Charger for the\naltitude change from Winter Creek to here. And I think Daisy is locking the\nprofiles so I can't have any fun.\"\n \n\"That's exactly what I'm doing short stack,\" the moose herm\nsaid with a grin on her muzzle. \"Not about you having fun or not, but the other\ngirls have to drive the same car. I'm not gonna be the one responsible for\nanyone getting hurt.\"\n \n\"I can handle it,\" The small mouse said. \"It's under 800\nhorsepower.\"\n \n\"It doesn't matter if you can or not Sisy, it stays locked\ndown for driver's ed to keep it within the safety rules. The last thing I need is\nthree teenage girls getting hurt in my car. And I'm pretty sure that if it's\nnot locked down Mr. Burke will have to pull it from use,\" Daisy said cutting\nher eyes at the mouflon.\n \n\"Probably,\" the ram said, nodding slightly. \"That's one\nreason why we have these Priuses. They accelerate pretty slowly, so if someone\naccidentally steps too hard on the gas, the damage is less severe. They're ugly\nas sin, but practical for their intended use.\"\n \nFrom under the hood of the nearby camaro  came the liger's voice, \"Yeah, they learn to\ndrive a toy car, then their parents buy them some real car and they don't know\nhow to handle it and plant it in a ditch or drive it up a tree.\" The liger\nstood up and looked at the mouflon, wiping her paws on a blue rag, \"And what\nbrings you out here, goat boy? Give the drivers pointers on how to obey the\nrules of the road while on the track?\"\n \nColin laughed at Lilly's attempted insult and replied,\n\"Hardly. I come out here once a month and push the Driver's Ed cars to their\nlimits, making sure they can handle whatever punishment the students dole out.\nBesides, I'm not all work and rules. I know how to cut loose and have fun, when\nit's appropriate. And this...\" He patted the roof of the hybrid with his right\npaw. \"This is a nice mix of work and play.\"\n \n\"Fun in a Prius?\" Lilliana snickered. \"Want me to give it a\npush so you can get it on the track without getting run over by an old lady in\na walker?\" She slammed the hood down on the shiny clean classic. \"Now if you'll\nexcuse me. I need to get Fefnir out on the trace so I can be sure  she is ready for turning up the power.\"\n \n\"You riding with Lilly this round squeaker?\" the moose said\nas she stood up and started walking over to the Charger. \"Drivers seat is mine\nthis time around.\"\n \n\"No, I'll just wait here at the trailer and get some\npictures,\" Cecily said as she pulled the camera out of her backpack. \"Besides,\nI've driven it with only four cylinders running already, I'll wait till she's\nready to  run it hard.\" \n \n\"Works for me,\" Daisy said as she got into the Charger\nplugging the laptop into the cars computer system. \"now to see how close the\nnew settings are and what fine tuning needs to be done.\"\n \nCecily looked up at the mouflon as the other two from her\ngroup pulled out on the track. \"Mr. Burke,\" she said softly, \"Do you really\ncome out to push the Driver's ed cars? That... seems a little strange. It's not\nlike they are really going to get all that much excitement. Most of the others\nin the class seem a little scared of them.\"\n \n\"Once in awhile, I'll get a rookie driver that gets\noverconfident,\" the mouflon explained. \"They get it into their heads that just\nbecause they can drive a certain way in Gran Turismo, they're ready to drive that\nway in real life. I've had to kick more than one student out of the class for\nreckless driving. Just in case, though, I need to make sure the car is up to\npar.\"\n \nCecily shrugged as she said, \"There is a time and place for\neverything. And driving on a game is nothing like getting behind the controls\nof a real car. You need to know the cars limits and your own. Besides, it's\nmore fun to do it when you're not going to get into trouble for it. This will\nbe the first time I get to drive the Camaro over sixty-five on a paved track.\"\nShe paused a moment while snapping some pictures of the Camaro and Charger as\nthey rounded the turn. \"What else do you do for fun?\" \n \n\"Soccer, hacky sack, ultimate frisbee, disc golf,\ntailgating,\" he explained. \"Give me an outdoor activity, and I'm all for it.\"\n \nWithout looking away from the track as she snapped a few\nrandom pictures she asked, \"Do you like shooting? Like sports shooting or\nhunting? Maybe camping?\"\n \n\"I love camping,\" he said with a smile, watching along with\nthe little mouse as the liger and moose took their respective cars through\ntheir paces. \"I'm not much for hunting - I don't believe in killing unless\nnecessary - but I do go down to the shooting range regularly.\"\n \n\"Hank usually cleans and cooks anything we bring back,\" The\nsmall mouse said.\n \n\"I get that, and at least it isn't wasteful killing,\" Colin\nanswered, \"but population control or not, I can't justify going out and killing\na deer when I know that I can buy venison, or a suitable substitute, at the\nstore.\"\n \nJust as Cecily was \nready to ask another question, the Camaro road up into the pit area with\nthe liger leaning out the window. \"Hey Squeaker,  I need a paw with a few more adjustments,\nthen we can take it out.\" \n \n\"It was nice talking to you, Mr. Burke,\" The small mouse\nuttered as she trotted over to the Camaro and switched places with Lilliana.\nWhile the liger opened the hood and leaned in, Cecily watched the mouflon get\ninto the Prius and pull out onto the track. \n \nLilliana's attention was soon drawn to the sound of\nsquealing tires as Mr. Burke began putting the economy car through a vigorous\nworkout. Looking out at the infield, they saw the small sedan doing donuts,\nthrowing up a cloud of dust in its wake, before he took the car back onto the\noval track. The mouflon soon had the car up to top speed as he barreled down\nthe straightaway, and went into the curve. The sound of squealing tires\nreturned as he drifted around the bend, smoke and dust flying up behind him as\nhe adjusted his trajectory and drove back towards the grass and dirt.\n \n\"This is the guy that is teaching you to drive?\" Lilliana\nasked as she walk around to stand next to the driver side door. \"And he's\npreaching safety. I wonder what he'd do if one of his students tried to the\nsame thing.\"\n \n\"He said he kicks them out of class,\" Cecily responded. \"He\njust takes the cars out to put them through a little stress for when someone\ndoes try.\"\n \n\"Makes sense,\" the liger said with a shrug. \"and he has\nenough skill to keep it on the track. I guess if he can do that in the little\ntoys they have you guys driving he can show you how to use a real car at normal\nspeed.\"\n \n\"He likes camping,\" the small mouse said as she looked up at\nher adopted mother.\n \n\" What exactly does that have to do with you getting your\nlicence?\n \n\"Nothing,\" she replied, \"just saying he likes camping. And\nFrisbee football. We play it a lot in the mornings. And other sports.\"\n \nLilliana looked down at the mouse as she asked, \"What are\nyou trying to get at?\"\n \n\"Nothing,\" she said softly as she leaned down in the seat to\nadjust the pedal extenders.\"\n \n\"Sisy, \" I want you to watch what he's doing,\" Lillliana\nmotioned to the trun as the Prius slid around the bend at near top speed. \"Remember\nhow I showed you to control a skid? He's just waiting till the last moment to\npull out. It's called drifting and should never be done off the track.\"\n \n\"I know,\" Cecily said with a sigh. \"Safety first on the\nroad. Know my limits and always maintain control. You all have been telling me\nthe same thing for  two months. Mr. Burke\nis going over defensive driving in class before we  start the driving range next week. and he's\nbeen showing us movies like 'Bloody Asphalt.'\"\n \n\"Good, now you ready \nto get out there and let  this\nthing  show us what she has?\"\n \nAs Colin shot down into the infield, he executed a forward\n180 and threw the car into reverse, and began doing more donuts, backwards this\ntime. After a few minutes of hard driving, he pulled the car back off the track\nand into the pit area. As he pulled up to the three women, he rolled down the\nwindow and looked at Cecily. \"Not that I think you need the warning, but as\nyour Driver's Ed teacher, I feel obligated to tell you that I'm a trained\nprofessional, and advise that you not to try that... At least, not yet. It's fun\nas hell, though.\"\n \n\"A trained jackass maybe,\" Lilliana said as she walked\naround the passenger side of the car. \"Do as I say not as I do. Awesome\nteaching methods you have there.\"\n \n\"Excuse me, but I'm not on school grounds, nor did I know\nyou would be here,\" he shot back. \"I did what I came here to do, and would have\ndone it even without you watching. The only difference you being here made was\nmaking feel like I needed to be a responsible instructor and give the proper\ndisclaimer.\"\n \n\"Whatever, looked like showing off for the hot chicks to\nme,\" Lilliana said as she closed the door and looked over at Cecily. \"You heard\nthe goat. No donuts or drifting. If you feel it start to slide pull it out\nand  try and stay at the front of the\npack. I don't want you to have to dodge an unexpected blowout from some  assclown overheating their tires like they're\nplaying Gran Turismo or some shit.\"\n \nHe cracked a grin as Lilliana repeated his warning to the\nsmall mouse. \"Anyway, now I need to go wash the dirt and dust off the car and\nget it back to the school. It was nice seeing you, Cecily. You as well, Miss\nFargo. Tell Miss Daniels that I said 'good-bye,' and I'll see you all on\nMonday.\"\n \nCecily smiled and nodded as she cranked the car. Her voice\nwas drowned out by the sound of the engine, now several octaves louder than\nonly a moment ago, as she mouthed something before shifting it into gear with\nher arm in a cast and letting the tires squeal and the car launch forward\ntoward the pit exit and the first turn.\n \n»-(¯`·.·´¯)-\u003eSmall\nTalk\u003c-(¯`·.·´¯)-«\n \nCecily glanced in the rearview mirror after hearing the\nsnoring from the liger in the back seat. She looked over at her girlfriend from\na moment as she said, \"I think Lilly likes Mister Burke.\"\n \n\"I feel sorry for him already,\" the moose herm said cutting\nher eyes over to the small mouse behind the wheel.  \"I really don't think he's anywhere near\nready for that kind of crazy.\"\n \n\"They like doing some of the same things, I think they'd\nmake a good couple,\" the mouse said. \"And he's a nice person. I think Lilly\nneeds someone. She spends too much time alone. Besides, If Alex would admit she\nhad a thing for Steven and Lilly was preoccupied with  someone else, that would leave Susan by\nherself to come up with stuff to do to you.\"\n \n\"Maybe, but I somehow find that highly doubtful short stack.\nIt would be nice, but hell if I'm gonna hold my breath on that one,\" Daisy said\nturning to look at her girlfriend. \"Fuck I'm already dreading the next couple\nof weeks, my so called immunity is about up and I just know they have something\nup their sleeves.\"\n \n\"I haven't heard anything yet,\" Cecily said as she tapped\nthe radio remote with her thumb. \"If they do it's something good.\"\n \n\"Yea, something good... as long as you're not the target that\nis squeaker. I still owe you one for that damn video skype call by the way\nfuzzy butt,\" she said as a grin spread across her muzzle.\n \n\"I told you, that was Susan's idea,\" Cecily said with a\ngiggle. \"But it was fun dying you brown again. I got to touch you in places\nwe  don't think about often.\" She glanced\nover at Daisy for a second as she switched topics. \"You know my birthday is\ncoming up. I don't know when it really was, but I've always celebrated  on September sixth... when I got to celebrate.\"\n \n\"Yea I know it's coming up, you've been dropping hints like\na feral squirrel bombing a raccoon with acorns. Thing is you really haven't\ngiven anyone any ideas of what you might want to do for it this time. I don't\nthink you're well known enough in Marble Cliff to get a parade thrown together\nsoon enough though,\" the moose herm said with a slight giggle.\n \nCecily giggled as she said, \"I Don't want anything like\nthat. I guess it's kind of silly to want a big party at my age, with cake and\nclowns and stuff.\" She started to mock male voice, \"So where's the birthday\ngirl? Oh, aren't you so cute, how old are you now , ten?\" She sighed as she\nwatched the road ahead of her. \"But I know Boomer's going to do something, I\njust don't know what. You'll tell me when you know, right?\" \n \n\"Of course I will,\" Daisy replied shaking her head from side\nto side slowly. \"You betcha' give the crazy eagle yet another reason to think\nup shit to torment me, yea sounds like a good idea to me... NOT.\" Wiggling in her\nseat a bit to get more comfortable she said, \"besides, like they're gonna tell\nme shit in the first place? Even if they did I'm pretty sure Alex and Susan\nwould lie to me just to make me look stupid\"\n \n\"They wouldn't do anything to make you looks stupid, Daisy.\"\nthe small mouse said softly. \"Silly yes, but not stupid. They do like you, you\nknow. Even if they don't tell you to your face.\"\n \n\"Oh yea I can see that, nothing says 'we like you' like\ndrugging someone and dying them pink. Oh almost forgot to mention they had to\nhave bleached me fist to pull that shit off... and goddamnit I'm still finding\nspots we missed, I think you got too distracted when you were helping me with\nthe brown dye sweet stuff.\"\n \nCecily glanced over at the moose with a smile. \"If you got\nthe chance to just feel me up all you wanted, would you be looking for all the\npink spots? Besides, the moans didn't sound like protests to me, and I got a\nlittle darker brown myself. But I would be more than happy to try again.\"\n \n\"I just bet you would,\" Daisy said with a broad smile on her\nface. \"May just have to take you up on that. So what do you want to do tonight\ntrail mix, since I have the night off and nothing to have to deal with?\"\n \nDaisy saw a smile cross her lovers face as the long, slender\ntail flicked up over the center console and dropped the fluffy tip in the moose\nherm's lap. \"I think we can come up with something, even with the cast.\"\n \n \n"}
