Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Umi no Hime ❯ Part II - A Day at the Track ( Chapter 6 )

“To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are."

- Sholem Asch

 

Tuesday. Morning.

 

I was up early in bed, knowing well that I should be there at the stadium even before the sponsors came. It wouldn't be a good impression to them if you're one lazy being.

 

So there I am, at the racetrack, at eight in the morning sharp. The bike mechanics greeted me with their usual enthusiasm as I parked my motorcycle in the garage.

 

“Tenoh, get in here!” A gruff voice summoned me to the coach's office.

 

“Yes, chief?” I said as I entered the room.

 

My coach, Dada Li Xius, a 28 year-old half-Chinese, half-Japanese femme fatale, with waist-length black hair, grouchy personality and wisdom that surpass her fellow senior trainers, looked at me through sneering eyes behind her chair.

 

“I just wanted to make a few things clear to you, Haruka, before I feed you to the lions,” she snorted. “There'll be three sponsors coming today. The big bosses of Daijing, MotoX, and CTS would provide us with their presence. And evil horns, I might add.”

 

“Uhm, so what exactly do you want me to do coach?”

 

She clapped her hands, “Direct to the point, as always, my apprentice. What I want to you to do is to give them a first-hand look at what kind of a speed demon you are. I want you show them that you are the best driver around, Haruka. The best that'll be worth their money.” Li-san, as what she wants me to address her, stood and came towards me.

 

“Come, I'll lead the way. Just remember to smile and be courteous towards those fools. Follow whatever they want you to do, and do not, I repeat, DO NOT disappoint them, understood?”

 

I could only gulp in fear at the tone of her voice.

 

Author's Notes:

A friend of mine asked for a role in this fic. And thus, Dada Li Xius is born.
Sorry for the weird name, though I find it pretty hilarious. Lmao.
