I woke around ten the next morning. I yawned as I cracked open my eyes. I was curled up in the middle of my bed with the tip of my tail hanging over my snout. My ears were flopped lazily against my head and my wings were hanging limp at my sides. The sun was shining brightly through the window and the smell of eggs and bacon frying on the stove drifted up the stair case and into my room. I smiled as I stretched out.I quickly pulled on a bright red shirt and the short's Shelby ahd given me the night before and slid downstairs. Tess was helping Dad with breakfast,James was playing Call Of Duty 3 with Taylor watching him and Will,as always,was watching something on the Discovery Channel. I grabbed my fire starter out of the fridge and gulped it down,I felt my flame flare up and I capped the bottle and placed it back into the fridge. I walked from the kitchen to the living room and sat down on the couch,grabbing my book from the coffee table and beginning to read. I had been reading for a bout ten minutes when Dad called from the kitchen.

"Breakfast is ready."

James and Will put their stuff on pause and I set down my book and we went into the kitchen. I grabbed two eggs,piling my usual toppings on them and six pieces of bacon before sitting down at my place at the table. Dad sat at my left,Tess on my right,Mom was across from me,Taylor was between her and Tess,while James and Will were between Mom and Dad.

"So did you have good time last night bro?" James asked.

I laughed a bit,"Oh yeah",I replied swallowing some of the bacon,"especially torwads the end when Shelby's Dad showed up in his Koenisegg CCGT,I could tell just by the way it sounded it was sporting the usual Centrifugal Supercharger as well as Twin Turbo chargers." I always had to cough up anything I knew about a cool car,I couldn't help myself. Mom likes to make jokes that if you don't let me talk,I might explode.

James sighed and shook his head,"No one at this table understood a word of that."

"Shut up James" I replied smiling and laughing a bit.

"So do you like the watch son?" Dad asked grinning at me.

I held up my arm so he could see that I was still wearing it.

"I love it Dad",I replied,"It matches my scales perfectly."

Dad smiled,"Happy that you like it."

I took a big bite of my sandwich. "You should see what Tess gave me".

I set down my sandwich and reached into my shirt,pulling out my dog tags. The gold and sliver cross stood out against the black chain and silver tags. The cross glowed as it caught the light.

"Tess",Mom said looking at her in shock,"where did you get that?"

Tess shrugged,"I found it in a gutter a few days after I moved out,at first,I thought it was just a piece of a wrapper,but as I got closer,I saw that it wasn't." "So I picked it up,something about it gave me hope,I don't think there was ever a day after that where it wasn't hanging around my neck."

"It was a sweet gift",Mom replied.

After breakfast,Will and James went back to their shows and I went back to my book. I had been reading for about five or so minutes when the phone rang. I grabbed it up and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Seth",it was Jack,"what ya doing?"

"Siting on my couch reading",I replied.

"I just got done talking with Alex",Jack said over the phone,"he said he'll be here to get the Camaro on Monday at six in the morning."

'Sounds good to me",I replied,"I'll tell my Dad tonight,you guys wanna come over and swim for a while?"

"I'm game dude",Jack said,"I'll call DJ and the other's and see if they wanna come,see you in a little bit bro."

Jack hung up and I put the phone on it's stand.

"Who was that?" Tess asked.

"Jack",I replied.

"What did he want?"

"He was calling to tell me Alex is coming with his rig to get the Camaro on Monday,which means we have to pack soon."

"Oh right",Tess replied leaning into the couch,"the race."

I smiled at my sister,before a wide grin covered my muzzle,"Your coming right?"

Tess punched my shoulder,"You think I'mma let my little brother run off to Wisconson without me?" "Your dead wrong."

I smiled my reply and went back to my book. After a few more minutes,a blaze orange Saleen S331 Raptor Super cab pulled into the driveway,closely followed by a Chameleon sliver and blue Koenisegg CCGT.

"Looks like company",I said closing my book and walking out to meet them. Jack,Josh,Tristan and DJ steeped out of her truck,while Shelby climbed out of her Dad's CCGT. "Looks like the whole gang's here",I said smiling. Shelby walked up to me,

"My Dad want's to talk to you Seth",she said.

"Okay",I said walking over to the CCGT. "You wanted to talk to me Mr.West?" I asked leaning onto the car.

"Yes I did Seth",he said killing the car,"I heard from your Dad at work yesterday that you guys were going to a race?"

"We are",I replied,"why?"

"Well",Shelby's Dad said leaning back in his seat,"I drove LeMan's for a while,I was wondering if you guys wanted a back up driver."

"That'd be great",I replied quickly and smiling.

"When we leaving?",he asked.

"Monday at six,Alex will be at our shop with his rig to get our Camaro."

"I'll be there",Shelby's Dad said starting his car,"and from now on,just call me Frank,by Seth."

Shelby's Dad backed out of my driveway and into the street before doing a burnout and screeching down the road,I was pretty sure he was just showing off.

"That is such a sweet ride",I said shaking my head.

I turned and walked back to my friends,who were gathered around DJ's truck,which I now noticed was sporting jet black aftermarket rims.

"Where'd you get the new rims DJ?" I asked leaning down to inspect them.

"This morning",she replied,"I was driving over to the shop when I saw them out in a yard with a big"For Sale" sign on them,they were a steal at only six hundred bucks,so I snatched them up."

"There Buddy Clubs",Jack said,"lighter than the Motgei Tracklites by a few pounds,they look sick on your truck."

The rims stood out on the blaze orange paint job of DJ's Raptor,it was real slick looking. I just smlied and shook my head,

"Sick rims DJ",I said,"real sick."

After pulling ourselves away from DJ's truck,we walked around back to my pool. It a huge,inground pool,more than big enough to hold all of us. Dad had brought it after I'd acedently speared a hole in our last one with my horns. I threw off my shirt and leaped in,diving into the water head first. When it it my scales,it chilled me to the bone. I quickly surfaced,took a deep breath and pushed the crest from in front of my eyes back onto my head.

"WOW",I said loudly,"this is freaking cold!"

"Ladies first",Tristan said stepping aside.

DJ rolled her eyes and leaped in,quickly surfacing and pulling her coffee brown hair away from her green eyes,you could tell that Jack was eyeing her,he'd always had a monster crush on DJ,even though he'd never admit it. He always said that DJ was a hottie when she wasn't around. He made me,Josh and Tristan swear not to tell.

"Wow",she said gasping,"this wasn't this cold yesterday!"

"How cold is it?" Jack asked leaning down.

"Why don't you find out?" DJ smirked before leaping at him,grabbing him by the leg and yanking him off the deck and into the pool.

After just two seconds under,Jack sprang up,gasping and yelping.

"Good lord!" He shouted,"it's freezing!"

"Move aside",Josh said pushing Tristan out of his wayand jumping feet first into the water. "You are all weak",He said smiling,"this water is warm."

"You were born in Alaska",Jack said throwing his soaked shirt onto the deck",your immune to the cold."

Josh just shrugged and smiled,causing Jack to roll his eyes.

"I hate you",he said splashing water at him.

Shelby jumped in next,"This is freaking cold!" She yelped.

I could see Tess grin a bit as she jumped in. Maybe it was just me,but Tess didn't seem to be very fond of Shelby,I think I had even seen her hiss a little when her father's CCGT pulled in. Now Tristan was the only one who wasn't in.

"Why you standing there for bro?" Tess said smiling,"Get in here!"

Tristan dipped his paw into the water and quickly recoiled. "I ani't getting in there!" He said,"It's freaking cold!"

Tess looked at him,"Stop whining and get in the water Tristan!"

"No",Tristan replied.

Tess suddenly leaped at him,closing her paw around his ankle and yanking him in. Tristan was under for about five seconds,before surfacing,gasping for air.

"NOT COOL TESS!"he snapped,splashing water at her with his tail.

Tess splashed him back,soon it was like a war zone,water was flying everywhere and casualties were mounting. The war lasted ten minutes,during which I couldn't see a thing due to all the water that was flying everywhere. By the time things had settled down enough to see again,it was clear that it had gone from a free for all,to males verses females. Tess and the girls were on one side of the pool,while Tristan,me,Jack and Josh were on the other. We were all panting,and soon we were laughing.

"Who won?" DJ asked.

"We did",Tess replied,"of course we did."

"You may have won that round ladies",Jack answered blowing up a huge beach ball,"but how do you play ball?"

"Better than you! Shelby said smiling.

Jack smiled and set up a net going across the middle of the pool.

"Rules are simple,'Jack said,"hit this ball,make it touch the water,you get a point,knock it out the pool,you lose a point and the other team gets a point."

"Serve!" Jack shouted throwing the ball into the air and slapping it,making it touch the water.

"Boom",Tristan said with a large smile covering his muzzle,"point for males!"

Tess slapped water at him with her tail. "Your such a sexist",she said with a bit of a hiss.

Tristan shrugged as Tess served the ball over the net. Tristan slammed his paw down onto it and into the water it went.

"Give up yet?",he asked smirking.

"There's still eight point's Tristan",DJ replied,"let's see how you boys do against my serve."

DJ played softball and had some good arms,she'd once thrown a pitch at aat a game that was clocked at 200 miles an hour. She grabbed the ball,tossed it up in the air and slapped it,sending it over our heads and into the water behind us.

"Girl's got an arm",Jack said,"I'll give her that."

DJ smirked as Josh served the ball. Our game went on for about an hour,it was close,but the girls lost out at the very last second,when DJ hit the ball a little to hard,sending it onto the concrete and giving us the last point we needed to win.

"Boom",Tristan said,"we win."

Tess huffed and rolled her eyes,"Just so you know bro",a smile crossed Tess's face,"in the animal kingdom,female isas high as it goes,and snice were not humans,that makes me better than you."

I turned to him,"She's got you by the wings bro,that's how it goes."

Tristan crossed his arms at his chest and leaned back against the wall of the pool,huffing and mumbling something to himself. We spent most of the day playing pool games and just hanging out except for when we took a break and went to Subway for lunch. We were just hanging out when Mom called from the backdoor.

"Kids,come in and get cleaned up so we can leave!"

We pulled ourselves out of the pool and wrapped our towels around us to counter act the chill the air gave us from being wet. We quickly dried off and walked inside. Tess and I went to our rooms to change,while Tristan,DJ and the other's had to share the bathroom. I entered my room and shut the door tightly behind me,throwing my wet trunks onto the floor,I pulled a bright blue,sleeveless shirt out from my dresser along with the shorts Shelby had given me and slipped into them. I went into the the bathroom and polished my scales until they gleamed.

"That looks good",I said slipping my shirt on and walking back down stairs.

Somehow,all the other's had managed to change faster than me. Dj was wearing a dark purple long sleeved shirt with blue jeans and her usual sneakers. Jack had a white shirt with a sliver dragon on it and blue jeans with his brown cowboy boots. Josh had tan cargo pants and boots with a red shirt and his jean jacket. As for the Anthro's,Tristan had a few spare cloakers laying around and he gave Tess one. It took her a minute for her to figure out how to use it,but she did. Mom and Dad came out from the bedroom,both of them dressed like they were back in the military.

"Ready to go?" Dad asked.

"I think so",I replied. My friends walked out the door,while I followed Mom and Dad.

"Hey Dad?" I asked

"What son?" Dad replied.

"Could you and I go in the 180?"

Dad had an old,Nissan 180SX in the garage that was Chameleon yellow and blue,with metallic blue Motige Racing Traklite rims and Top Secret hood,bumpers and side skirts as well as a Delton Motorsports rear wing. It was the first car we'd ever done at Draco Customs and our name went across the back in Black letters. The car hadn't seen day light for a long time now,I honestly wasn't even sure if it would run. Dad smiled and turned to Mom.

"Honey,Seth and I are going in the 180."

"Okay",Mom said kissing Dad,she then turned and walked out the door.

Dad took he keys from the shelf above the door way and we went out into the garage. The car was covered in dust and had more than 300,000 miles on it,but other than that it still looked oven fresh. Dad unlocked the car and I got in,doing up the racing harness while Dad opened the garage door. Mom had already left and DJ was just pulling out. Dad came back to the car and got in,stuck the keys into the ignition and turned them. After a bit of rattling,the 670 horsepower Twin turbo charged engine roared to life.

Dad shut the door and drove the car just out of the garage before getting out and closing it up. Dad then got back in,lashed up the racing harness and shut the door before driving to the end of the driveway,we had to wait for a car to pass before Dad turned onto the street and gunned it to free up the cams. The engine roared like a muscle car as we went down the street.

"Been a while since I drove this",Dad said,"best father's day present I ever got."

Dad turned on some of his 80's music as he drove through town to the pizza place. We parked beside DJ's truck and went inside. Mom,Shelby,Tess,Tristan and Jack were sitting in one of the boths in the corner while the other's were off playing some of the arcade games.

"Been a while since I drove that",Dad said sitting next to Mom",I almost forgot it was in the garage."

"Hey Dad",I said.

"What son?"

"That race that's coming up?"

"Yes."

"Jack told me when we talked on the phone that Alex is coming on Monday at six to get the Camaro,instead of Tuesday."

Dad leaned back in his seat.

"Also,I talked to Shelby's Dad today and he wanted to know if he could come as a back up driver."

Dad laughed a bit,"Frank just can't stay away from race cars",Dad said,"yeah,he's the best person you kids could have as a back up driver,he can come."

Mom was about to say something when I heard a familiar sound. I glanced out from the both to see a metallic blue 1992 Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo with a red flame decal on the hood and sides pull up. I instantly knew it as Trent's car.

"Oh great",I said burring my snout in my paws,"Trent's here!"

"The boy who hurt you?" Mom asked.

"Yeah",I said,"I just saw him pull in."

"Don't worry Seth",Tess said,"if he tries something,I'll make paste out of him."

The door to the pizzeria came open and Trent walked in. I instantly noticed the difference. He was dressed in dark blue jeans,looking like they were almost new,with black boots and a red T-Shirt. His normally messy hair was combed back. Another thing I noticed was that he had a black eye and looked like he'd been beat up pretty badly. He slowly walked over to our table.

"Mr and Mrs Allen?" He asked,"I'm Trent Morgan."

"Yeah",Dad said looking a bit red in the face,"we know how you are."

Trent huffed,"I came to tell Seth that I was sorry for all the times that I bullied him,I was wrong,and I realize that now."

I looked at Trent,not sure weather or not to believe him.

"Seth",Trent said handing me a small box,"this is my way of saying I'm sorry."

I took the box from him and opened it. Inside,was a sliver dragon pendant,it's eyes seemed to be made of gems,I wasn't sure what to say.

"I'm sorry man",Trent said,"can you forgive me?"

I looked at him,"Yes I can."

Trent held out his arms,"Stand up bro",he said smiling,"I'm going for the bromance!"

With a light smile,I stood and Trent hugged me tightly,almost knocking me over.

"First time I ever hugged a dude I didn't have a choke hold on",he announced,causing us all to laugh.

Trent turned to my Dad,"May I sit sir?"

"Of course",Dad said moving over to give Trent some room.

"What happened there?" I asked pointing to his eye.

"Greg and six other guys jumped me",Trent replied,"even with my Brazilian Jitsiu I couldn't take them,they freaking trashed me."

"What for?" I asked.

Trent just huffed,you could tell he didn't want to talk about it,so I left it at that.

We ordered six pieces of cheesy garlic bread,two pepperoni pizzas,one six cheese stiffed crust and one kitchen sink pizza,which had everything you can possibly imagine on it(but thankfully not anchovies-nasty!) Trent payed for it all,he said he felt he needed to do something to make up for all the misery he'd caused our family. We were there for about two hours before Trent spoke up.

"I heard you guys were going to a race?" I just looked at him.

"Yeah",I replied,"why?"

"Well,Trent said,"I'm a pretty good mechanic,if you need a pit crew,I'm your guy."

I looked at him for a minute,"I'm sure Alex has room on his rig for one more."

"Thanks man",Trent replied putting his hand out,"bros?"

I grabbed his hand with my paw,"bros."

Trent stood and pulled his keys from his pocket.

"Well I gotta be getting home",he said,"I'm out past my curfew as it is."

"See ya Seth",he said,"hope you like the present."

"Love it man,thanks".

"Welcome man,least I could do after all the misery I caused ya."

Trent left the pizza place and drove off.

"That car's a piece",I said shaking my head.

Dad checked his watch,"we need to get going",he said looking to Mom,"it's getting late."

"Mind if Seth and I hang back for a bit?",Tess asked,"I have a few things to show him."

"Don't be long honey",Mom said kissing us both between our horns.

She and Dad turned to leave with James,will and Taylor. James drove the van while Mom and Dad climbed into the 180 and drove off. Tess pulled me close to her.

"So what did you want to show me?" I looking at her curiously.

Tess smiled,"Just stuff,you'll see."

After a few more slices of pizza and eleven or so minutes of sitting around,DJ and the other's walked up,covered in sweat from the games.

"We gotta be going Seth",Tristan said.

"Okay",I replied,"thanks for coming guys."

"Welcome bro",Dj saidas they turned to leave and Tess and I went to see them off. Tristan and DJ walked to their trucks while Jack and Josh climbed into the Falcon,which had been getting looks all night,which made sense if you thought about it.

The Falcon F1 GT-R as we'd dubbed it,was a jet black,rims and all,1,790 horsepower, fully striped out Twin Screw supercharged Ultracar modeled after the Lamborghini Reventon. It could go 299 miles an hour while sitting two inches lower than a LeMan's prototype at only an inch. Everything on the car,from the tail lights to the speedomer and RPM read out,was all kinds of looking like something out of Total Recall. I'd even seen a few people getting pictures of themselves with it. So when these two teenagers walked out of pizza place,and climbed into this car,you can guess it raised eyebrows.

Jack started the Falcon and revved the engine,it was deep and rolling,sounding more like a mussel car than the though breed Ultracar it really was. The Falcon's bright blue headlights came on as Jack pulled to the curve and entered the street,roaring down the road,you could hear him change gears as he went. I smiled as I shook my head,

"I can't wait till we finish that car,it will be the slickest thing on the roads."

Tess put her arm around my shoulder,"Let's go little brother,I have a few things to show you."
