'Sup Tennesee' A tenessee volunteer said.
smirks "I'm about to leave you in my dust, darlin'." revs his bike, leaning it forward
Oh yeah? I also got a motorcycle. Let’s race to the store! I said, smirking back.
"You're on!" smirks and roars off down the strip
After some time, I passed you as you were almost out of gas while I still had plenty. I stopped next to you and gestured that I had won.)
laughs heartily "Damn! Looks like I underestimated you, darlin'. Congratulations on the win!" claps SkyBlueEnthusiasm on the back
No problem! You were pretty fast yourself! You should join the volunteer force! I said, as we got off our motorcycles.
"Well, thanks for the kind words. But I think I'll stick to being an outlaw biker. It suits me just fine." winks and smirks
Well, who knows, maybe one day you’ll change your mind. I chuckled, getting a bit closer to you.
leans in close, grinning "Oh, darlin', don't you worry. I'll always be an outlaw at heart." brushes his thumb against SkyBlueEnthusiasm's cheek
…T-tennessee, w-what are you… I said, blushing.
"I'm just a little friendly, that's all." smirks and winks
Your pretty cute for an outlaw. I said, smirking back.
"Why thank you, darlin'. You ain't so bad yourself. Maybe after this race, you'd care to join me for a drink?
Sounds great! But after this race, there will only be one winner. And that’s me. I said, smirking confidently.
"We'll see about that." grins and revs his bike once more
If your going to beat me, at least buy me a drink when your done. I said, smirking and doing the same.
"Deal, darlin'." smiles and revs his bike one last time before taking off with a burst of speed
I eventually outran you after an intense race. You took a good run at it Tennessee! Maybe next time. I said, stopping near you as my engine died and gestured that I had won.
chuckles "Well, shucks! Guess you got me this time, darlin'." playfully pats SkyBlueEnthusiasm on the back
Thanks! So where are you heading off to now?
"Oh, I don't have any particular place in mind. Just gonna keep riding until the wind stops blowing. How about you? Where are you headed?"
I’m actually heading home. But if you want company until you decide to stop, you can hop in my vehicle.
"Well, darlin', that sounds mighty kind of you. I reckon I'd like some company. Let's ride together for a spell." smirks and climbs onto his bike
Great! Just follow me. I drove and rode beside you as we headed off to wherever.
"So tell me, darlin', what made you decide to join the volunteer force?" leans forward, his leather jacket creaking
Why do you ask such personal questions? But I was forced into joining actually. My parents were killed by dangerous criminals and after that incident, they assigned me to be a guard here.
"Damn, darlin', that's tough. Sorry to hear that." his voice softens, his hand briefly reaching out to touch SkyBlueEnthusiasm's shoulder
That’s alright, I still get to ride cool vehicles! I said, holding back my tears.
"Well, darlin', I reckon we've all been through some tough times. But it's how we rise up from those low points that define us, ya know?
Yeah, and rising from the ashes is something a phoenix does right? I said, laughing.
"You've got yourself a Phoenix reference there, darlin'." laughs along "Guess we both have our own ways of rising from the ashes.
Hey you are right! It is funny how our names go together. You’re a Tennesse Volunteer, and am a SkyBlue Enthusiast!
"Ha! Ain't that somethin', darlin'? The two of us, two sides of the same coin.
Indeed! It was fun seeing you here. Until we meet again, Tennesee Volunteer! I waved as I turned my vehicle and drove off.
"Farewell, SkyBlue Enthusiast. May the road rise up to meet you." raises his hand in a farewell gesture
I stopped as I noticed smoke coming from under your hood. T-tennessee! I shouted to you. It looks like you have engine trouble. I got tools in my trunk. Let me help you.
"Well, bless your heart, darlin'. That sure would be mighty kind of you." smiles warmly and motions for SkyBlueEnthusiasm to come over
What happened? Could you press the clutch and see if it still moves? I asked as I got out of my vehicle.
"Sure thing, darlin'." presses the clutch and tries to shift gears, his brow furrowing "Seems like the clutch is stuck.
As you pressed the clutch, the clutch came out easily with no resistance. It seems that the clutch cable had snapped. Oh no…looks like the clutch cable broke. I don’t have a new one on me, but I can try patching it together.
"Well, darlin', I appreciate the effort, but I reckon it's best to find a proper replacement for the clutch cable.
I understand, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to bring another one anytime soon since I have work and this place doesn’t exactly have a nearby town to buy parts from. But if you’d like to rest for the night while I figure this out, I can offer you some shelter in my place.
"You're mighty kind, darlin'. I reckon I'd appreciate some shelter for the night. Lead the way." smiles warmly and follows SkyBlueEnthusiasm back to their vehicle
Alright, well we are pretty close to my house, so let’s drive over there. I hopped in my vehicle and started it up. Get in.
"Alright, darlin'." climbs into the passenger seat of SkyBlueEnthusiasm's vehicle and buckles himself in
We arrived at my place. Here we are. Not much of a mansion, but it’s big enough for one person to stay. I said, as I got out of my vehicle and opened the door for you.
"Well, it may not be a mansion, but it's a mighty fine place to rest my head." steps inside and looks around
