‘Oi, Toya, pass the screwdriver’ An calls, looking to the seats behind her, currently bent under the steering wheel of the blue 2020 Ford Raptor Ranger, messing with some wires.
‘Shame Akito couldn’t join us...’ Kohane calls out from next to her, sitting in the front seat, before a hand pokes out from between the two seats, holding a screwdriver. ‘Well, he said he had better things to do, so it’s his loss,’ The starry-haired singer replies, bending her arm backwards to retrieve the screwdriver, before going back to tinkering with the wires, biting her tongue as she focuses.
‘I only came along because you guys said it would be worth it...’ Toya whimpers from the back seat, ‘If my dad finds out I’m DEAD!!!’ he says, more panicked, obviously hyperventilating. ‘Hey, hey now, it’s okay,’ Kohane coos, turning around to face the nervous boy, ‘We’re fineeeeee~ An’s taking care of things! When has she ever failed us?’ She continues, trying to calm him down. ‘Lots...’ Toya replies, ‘She’s stuffed stuff up,
a lot...’
Suddenly the sound of an engine starting up pierces the air, followed by a happy cheer from An, who is now sat in the driver’s seat. ‘We’re ready to go, babyyyyy!!!’ she calls out excitedly, before grabbing Kohane and giving her a kiss on the cheek. She then passes the screwdriver and a whole bunch of other random assorted equipment to Toya, before positioning herself at the wheel. ‘LET’S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!’ An yells out, ready to press her foot against the accelerator at any second. Although An and Kohane are hyped up, Toya’s still anxiously questioning everyone’s decisions in the back seat, ‘An... Are you sure this is a good idea..? Maybe we should just st-’
VROOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
He was abruptly interrupted mid-sentence by the sound of the engine revving as An pushes her foot on the accelerator, the car jolting forwards at an incredible speed. ‘WOOOHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!’ An hollers, drifting out from where the vehicle was originally parked, leaving a cloud of dust behind the ute, along with a pretty sick skid mark. The 2020 Ford Raptor Ranger, now driving at about like who knows how fast, was bolting its way through the practically empty streets, who said speed limits applied to An anyways? ‘G-G-GUYSSSSS!!! CAN WE SLOW DOWN PLEASE!!???!?’ Toya pathetically cries, clinging on to his seatbelt, shaking. ‘Now, where’s the fun in that?’ An replies, taking her eyes off the road, ‘AN!!! AN-CHAN!!! RAILING!!! RAILING!!!!’ Kohane frantically yells, trying desperately to get her girlfriend’s attention. ‘Huh? What’re you on about-’
CLANG-CLANG-CLANG-CLANG!!!
The ute rams itself headfirst into the railing coating the edge of the sidewalk, bringing it up from the ground, segment by segment. ‘OH CRAP!!!’ An shrieks, desperately trying to swerve the car back on to the road, ‘I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!!’ Toya cries from behind the girls, horrendously panicked.
Eventually the Raptor Ranger finds its way back on the road, cruising at an insane speed of 168km/h (which is just a measly 12km from its maximum speed!). ‘See? We're fine everyone, nothing to be worried about!’ An sighs, giving Kohane a quick little pat on the head with one arm, before returning to driving with two. ‘Y-yeah... I guess you’re right...’ Toya replies, his voice still dripping with anxiety, ‘maybe there was nothing to worry about after all...-’
NEE NAW NEE NAW NEE NAW!!!!!!
‘OH SHIT ITS THE COPS’ An shouts at the top of her lungs, before slamming her foot on the accelerator and making a run for it. ‘WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE COPS!?!?!?’ Toya screams, now hyperventilating, ‘MY DAD’S GONNA KILL ME OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!!’
‘Hey, it’ll be okay, just breathe,’ Kohane’s voice calls out, it’s obvious she’s trying to hide any signs of anxiety in her voice. ‘It’s going to be okay, just breat-’
‘OH SHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT, BRACE YOURSELVESSSSS!!!!!!!’ An yells out at the top of her lungs, before the ute makes a sudden sharp turn left, right on to the sidewalk! ‘A-AN-CHAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?’ Kohane shrieks out, her seatbelt tugging tightly against her chest, ‘J-J-JUST TRUST ME OKAY!?’ An cries out, trying to sound confident, but horribly failing.
‘A-A-AKITO!?’ Toya screams out through the chaos, pointing to a ginger-haired man, walking out of a bookstore, with what seems to be a birthday present in his hands. Kohane notices it too and her heart sinks in fear, ‘A-A-AN STOP!! THATS AKITO!!!’ she yells out, but it was too late. The ute rammed into the ginger head-first, splattering blood and guts all over the front of the Raptor Ranger and coating its windshield in the innards and juices of what was once a dear friend.
Silence.
Everyone just stares in horror at what they had just witnessed. The death of their friend, caused by them.
Traumatized looks paint the faces of everybody in the ute. A horrible memory that would stick with them for life had just been made.
But, before the three could even process what they just saw, because of an obstructed windshield, and now lubricated tires, the 2020 Ford Raptor Ranger was now wildly swerving and spinning out of control, eventually coming to a halt by ramming straight into brick wall. Airbags deploy and a fire breaks out as the sirens grow louder and louder.
‘Well, shit.’ An whimpers, somehow still alive, ‘that just happened.’
