Chapter 28 - Déjà Vu II
TJ followed Dan to his garage in Tokyo. Parked outside was TJs new acquisition.
There is it, your new car.
Youre kidding me. It looks like someone vomited on an Atenza and let it dry.
I did warn you about it being a ricer.
Its green too, how funny.
Before you jump to conclusions, this car hasnt been driven since a fortnight ago.
Its too straight anyway. I doubt its even been in any accidents. Apart from the garish paint, I reckon its a good car underneath. Ill take it.
Plus its a new Atenza too so itll still be worth a fair bit. Youre a sneaky one Dan.
Aint I just? Haha! Here, Ill throw a million Yen on top. Call it an act of kindness.
Dan passed the money and the keys to the car over to TJ.
I guess its better than nothing. Ill pick it up later with the truck. I need to sleep, its been a long night for me.
I understand. Ill leave it parked here for you then. Hopefully no one steals it.
Dan laughed and waved at TJ as he walked off, leaving TJ with the Atenza.
Damn, what am I going to do with this ugly piece of crap? Guess I could always give it to Dave to replace his Vitz. Ha
Later on
Hitomi woke up to the sound of the doorbell. Yuka was still fast asleep.
Damn it, I was having a good dream. Dont tell me the suspension has arrived already?
Hitomi quickly put on her skirt and T-shirt and slowly walked towards the front door. She quickly fixed her hair and opened the door.
Yes? Do you know what time it is?
Hello Miss, there is a package downstairs for you. We apologise for the inconvenience, but the package is rather large and heavy so we wanted to inform you that its downstairs. If you would like it brought up here, it is no problem.
Oh right. Could you keep it safe downstairs for a while? Its a part for our car so we wont need it brought up.
I understand Miss. Again we apologise for troubling you. Have a nice day.
Yeah, bye.
Hitomi closed the door and walked over to Yuka. Hitomi began to shake Yuka gently, in an attempt to wake her up.
Yuka. Yuka sweetie. Wakey wakey.
Hitomi shook harder.
Yuka!
Yuka woke up and grabbed Hitomi.
Kei
I
I
Hitomi?!
Yuka quickly let go of Hitomi and cuddled her pillow.
Hello sleeping beauty. Did I interrupt your dream?
No!
Yukas face went bright pink. She covered it up with the pillow.
Oh really? Well I feel better now that you and Kei finished up before I woke up.
Hitomi! I
! Grr!! I cant stand you sometimes!
Oh youre as cute as ever! Anyway, our suspension arrived just now. We should take the C4 to Luis so he can help out.
Now? Im sleepy
We cant leave it too late Yuka. Weve got to drive all the way to Rome.
Fine, fine. Just give me another hour, please?
Oh Yuka. What am I going to do with you?
Youre going to let me have another hour of sleep. Night!
Yuka wrapped up in her bed sheets and resumed sleeping.
Lazy cow.
Hitomis phone started to ring on the dressing table, with the latest Rhianna song blaring out of its tiny speakers. Hitomi walked over to her phone and picked it up. She looked at the caller ID.
Unknown? Sigh, I usually dont do this
Hitomi answered the call.
Hello?
Hitomi, whats up?
Hitomi instantly recognised the voice on the other end of the call.
Shin?!
Didnt you know
? I thought you had my number?
It came up as unknown.
Oh. Typical. Where are you anyway? Ive been looking all over Japan for you.
Youre in Japan?! What the hell Shin, why didnt you tell me?
I was hoping to surprise you.
Well Im surprised, happy?
You dont sound pleased to hear from me.
Of course Im not pleased! You always pull this creepy crap on me!
Creepy? This is hardly creepy, Hitomi.
Whatever. Im in Europe with Yuka. Were racing a few championships here.
Interesting. Perhaps Ill stick around in Japan until you get back. The racers around here are weak to say the least. Perhaps I should see if any of them have the balls to race me for keeps.
As long as your old habits dont show themselves, go ahead. You havent gone and done anything stupid already, right?
Of course not! You know me, Im like an angel.
Right
Well I best leave you and your cousin to your racing. Give those European-types hell for me. To be honest Im jealous, Id love to go travelling around Europe for some organised racing.
We already are. Yuka is as fast as me so were cleaning up the first few stages really nicely. Id say shes faster than you actually.
Heh. Well have to see about that when you get back here.
Yeah, definitely. See you around Shin.
Later.
Hitomi hung up the call. She looked back to Yuka, now sat up in her bed looking back at Hitomi.
Who was that on the phone Hitomi?
I thought you wanted to sleep for another hour?
You woke me up. Who was on the phone?
Im sorry for waking you Yuka.
Boyfriend?
Ugh!
Potential boyfriend?
Dont you pull that on me!
Then who was it?
Sigh
Hes an ex but isnt.
What? Hes either an ex or hes not an ex, he cant be both.
We had a short fling then I called it off.
I see. Arent we the naughty one eh?
Yuka began making suggestive gestures with her hands.
No!
No?
I mean
Fine. Yes, but it meant nothing!
I always knew you were the naughty cousin but I didnt realise the extent of how naughty you can be.
Yuka! Lets just get this suspension fitted into the car so we can drive all the way to Rome to finish up this championship!
Alright alright, let me get dressed then.
Yuka wore her shorts and T-shirt under the bed sheets and then got up.
Right, let me wash up.
Yuka walked into the bathroom and began to wash her face and brush her teeth. She emerged from the bathroom moments later.
Lets go then, I take it the parts are downstairs?
Mm.
Later on
After successfully installing the new suspension kit onto the C4, Yuka and Hitomi packed their things and began another cross-country cruise across Europe. They almost made it out of Switzerland, until Hitomi spotted a high street.
Ill be right back Yuka, Ive got some shoes to buy!
Great. Ill keep the engine warm then shall I?
Shoes!
And buy me some Coke whilst youre out there!
Shoooooooooooooooooooes!
Shin's Mustang is powered by Hollywood magic. 
You better come in Rihanna's umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh!
