She continues on, “The good things about smartphones is that there is an app, if you don’t know this, which is a police scanner that is flooded with hot pursuits. Most racers who raced here for years recommend this. But for now, let me show you this.” She shows another strage device, and she points it at another, and things appear. Rainbow Dash then speaks out, “I may have seen that yesterday.” “Correct, Sally. This is what isd called a hot pursuit. The only way this will end is either the police busts the racers, or the racers escape,” Rebecca said. “ Now, with that part done, let’s go outside shall we?” Both Jonathan and Rainbow Dash, agreed to go outside. When they got out, Rebecca told the two this, “Get in my car. I’ll show you something.” They got in her car, and they hit the road in a matter of seconds. During the trip, Rebecca asked the two this, “Is any of you two already got the hang of what I’m saying?” “Yes,” both Jonathan and Rainbow Dash answered. “Wow, both of you sound extremely determined. You two do know that we are going against the law, do you?” asked Rebecca. “The law?” Jonathan said. “Screw the law. I’ve been following them for too long. I think it’s time to break them.” “Oh, okay, Jonathan. Confidence, is everywhere! I’m ready for anything!” Rainbow Dash said. “Okay,” Rebecca said. “Now that you’re ready, I will havew both of you sign up for your first race. The race is called, ‘Roadsters Reborn.’ This is a beginner race, so everyone else competing for first have the same skill level as both of you do. The conversation got quiet through the end of the trip. “Well,” Rebecca said. “Here we are. Mission Beach.” The two listens as they follow Rebecca. “This is where you will be signing up for all of your races. Well for now. This is the Sports Series signup area. Wait, speaking of series, I haven’t told you about the series. Right. There are five series, and they are, from newcomer to expert: Sports Series, Performance Series, Super Series, Exotic Series, and Hyper Series. Now there are also ranks. For now, both of you are not ranked as of yet. The SCPD, the Seacrest County Police Department, have not witnessed you speeding, so you are not a threat to them, yet. Once they notice that you’re speeding, they will rank you as a Level 1 Speeder. The more race you do, and the more you outrun the cops, you will become, like few racers, the Level 20 Most Wanted.” As the three reach to the sands under the porch they open a door, and inside they saw two machines. Rebecca told them, “There it is. This is where you will sign in for all your Sports Series Races. Just follow the directions and you’ll be in.” “Okay. That sounds easy,” Rainbow Dash said. “Now, with Windows 7, technology can never get better,” said Jonathan, as he went to the Windows 7 and came across something different. “Well,” Rainbow Dash said. “I guess I would have to create a new account so I can start racing. How about you, Jonathan?” “Same here, Sally,” Jonathan said. “Okay, now what do we do,” Rainbow Dash said. She follows intructions to make a racer account. It required thier names, thier adress, thier date of birth, and thier phone number. When they were done, it then showed one race available that was titled “Racers Reborn XLIV.” “Hey Sally, do you see a button that says ‘Enter Race?’ Click on that, it should grant us entry to the race. I’m entering in myself.” “Okay, I’m reading the description,” she said. She then went to the race description. It read: First time racing? Enter the race here after creating the account. You will go against other racers with the same skill level as you are, so none will have an unfair advantage. What are you waiting for? Enter now while there is still room left. Room left: 1 Racer “Okay, Jonathan. I’m in. how about you?” she asked as she entered. “I’m also in as well,” he said. “The type of car we are using will be the same.” “So both of you are in. Good, you do know when it will start right?” asked Rebecca. “Yes, I do. It starts on July 10th, 2010,” Rainbow Dash said. “Congrats, then. You are now official street racers. Excited?” Rebecca asked. The two looked at Rebecca as if she is stupid. The look they gave showed confidence. “Okay. It’s getting late. It is 2:00 AM,” Jonathan said. As they went to Rebecca’s car, he asked the two girls, “Anything wrong with that fit-looking man? I saw him eating a glazed donut and listening to a radio. Something is wrong there.” There was a long period. Then, Rebecca broke the silence in frustration. “Fuck. I do apollogize for the language, but that was a cop. He noticed that I got both of you into racing.” Meanwhile, back at the beach, that same cop went to the dressing room and came out in blue clothing. He then went to his car and got his radio. “Central,” he called. Then came in a reply. “Go ahead.” “How full is the streetracer reports folder is?” he asked. “Big enough to fill an entire car.” Central replied. “I think we got ourselves two more streetracers who go by the names of Jonathan Johnson and Sally Patterson. They just signed in for thier first race,” he said. “Okay. I’ll be sure to classify those two as Level 1 Speeders,” Central said. “Okay they’re in the records. We’ll try to track them along with many others. Those two will never know what will hit them.”
