Vinyl's New Opponent

Octavia Revealed

"I actually knew all along that you were street racing." said Octavia.

"YOU WHAT!!??" Vinyl said, surprised. "Why the heck didn't you tell me!!? That's something you shouldn't even think about keeping secret!"

Octavia sighed. "You see, I was worried about you at first, but then I came to.....well........"

"You don't want to admit that you enjoyed racing." said Vinyl.

"Fine." said Octavia. "At the same time, however, something in my brain was telling me I should check on you. I wanted to see if I could keep up with you (in case you ever needed my help for anything), so I knew I needed the only car that can keep up with a GT-R; another GT-R."

Vinyl's eyelids raised at this statement. "Well, um, thanks Octy." said Vinyl. "But out of pressure, I've blown my R32's engine."

Octavia looked puzzled for a second, and then got an idea. "All the GT-Rs except the R35 use the exact same engine! So all we have to do is transplant the RB26 in my R33 into your R32 and you'll be good for the night until we can get you another RB26!!" said Octavia.

Vinyl's face brightened up. "Of course! My baby's saved!" she said, smile bright on her mouth.

Octavia ran in and ordered one of the mechanics to take the engine out of her R33 and put it in the 32. And sure enough, being the same engine that was designed for the car, the engine fit perfectly into the transmission slots and differential. Vinyl tried starting the R32, and sure enough, the headlights came on and a beautiful roar sounded from under the hood. Vinyl smiled.

"Thank you so much, Octavia." said Vinyl. "I'll be sure to return your RB26 when an RB26 of my own arrives."

"Don't mention it." said Octavia. "What else are best friends for?"

Nightfall was already beginning to happen. The city lights were turning on. Vinyl looked at the clock in the garage, and it was 10 PM! "I'm almost late for a race!" Vinyl said, panicking. "I'll see you later!!" Vinyl threw off the mechanic jumpsuit she was wearing and tossed it into a locker.

Vinyl gunned the engine of her R32, and the car took off out of the garage and got onto the road bound for the expressway.

As the R32 rocketed down the expressway bound for the agreed location, Vinyl thought she saw other speeding cars. Sure enough, more racers were going to attend the car meet at the location. She could see a Ferrari F430, a Mazda RX-7 FC3S, a Bugatti Veyron 16.4, and a Ferrari Testarossa trying to pass her. She looked in her rear view mirror to see the Testarossa trying to pass her. Vinyl smiled and pressed on the gas pedal harder. As she shifted into fourth gear, she could see all four supercars getting further and further away from her. She smiled again and looked back at the road ahead. "It's kind of nice being a GT-R owner." she said. "Nopony can catch you no matter what."
