Fic- Fun at F1- Ch 2

*Looks at title* Oh man, that's probably my worst title of all time. If anyone has any better ideas, I will gladly take them.

Anyway, on with Chapter 2!

After going through customs, Baj went to drop off the racers bags at the hotel while they went and got something to eat. Baj had already programmed in the directions to get to a restaurant into Kurt’s phone. The manager was about to get in the taxi that was waiting for him when he turned to Beef.

“If you,” Baj pointed at Beef’s chest, “get lost again and I have to come find you, I’m benching you for the rest of the season. Got it?”

“Loud and clear, Boss-man,” Beef smiled despite the threat.

Baj glared, but hopped into the cramped taxi. Once he was out of sight, Beef grabbed Kurt’s cell out of his hand and began furiously typing.

Kurt rolled his eyes, too used to this, “I just changed that password this morning.”

“Putting in your birth year as a code isn’t much of a password, Kurt,” Beef said, without looking up from the screen. “Doc and the rest of the pit arrived yesterday, right?”

“Yep, although with time zones and all that, it would be two days ago.”

“Great, we’re meeting them at this bar Doc used to go to all the time in 5 minutes,” Beef handed back Kurt’s phone, “Come on!”

He broke into a jog and Kurt had no choice but to follow. By now it had become tradition for them and the pit crew to drink before the qualifying lap and if one of them won a race… or lost one. Really, it was just tradition for the 22 of them to drink together and, if they didn’t plan the night properly, get horribly hung over together. It was also tradition for the person to get the table last to pay for the first two rounds, so was usually Beef or Kurt who coughed up the money.

Kurt smiled as they turned a corner into a wide alley. It was amazing to think of how close all of them had become. In the beginning, Kurt had only known Beef and was closest with Beef, since they had spent the whole first season together. Then, in the second season, they started to do races that were 20, sometimes even 30 laps long. So they hired a pit crew.

It had been a package deal. All 21 of them had already pitted for a few people in a couple of races, but they never stuck with one person. Guude, the so called “leader of the pit”, had explained that it wasn’t because they were slow. It was mostly because the crew hated being pushed around or underappreciated by the driver. Bdubz had popped in then and added that they had not found a person who could keep up with them and their slightly messed up sense of humor. Generick had added, “Basically, we’re crazy.”

Beef had wanted to hire them right then and there and Kurt had agreed. Baj was almost on that band wagon, but of course they needed a trial run. So the next day, Kurt raced into the pits and boy did the crew get the job done. They were able to pit two seconds faster than the other crews they had looked at already. Beef, Kurt, and Baj were incredibly impressed and the crew was hired on the spot.

Since then, they had all become friends ad completely inseparable.

Kurt snapped out of the daydreaming and slowed down to a walk, realizing something.

“Did Doc send you the directions?”

“Yeah, got them up here,” Beef pointed to his head.

Yeah right. “Wait then.” Kurt pulled out his phone. He looked back through his texts and found one with the name of the bar. He quickly put the name into the GPS. He snickered when it finally loaded.

“Hey Beef,” Kurt jogged up so he was next to Beef. He held up his phone and pointed behind them. “The bar is that way.”

“Oh, well… I knew that.”

“And we’re already 4 minutes late.”

“… I didn’t know that.”

Kurt gripped his phone. “Maybe we can make it there in 3 minutes if we run.”

Beef grinned before sprinting off. “Race ya!” he called out behind him.

Oh no you don’t! Kurt ran after him.

Fun fact: This is only the second story I've ever written more than one chapter for.

I just realized something. If you're casting Mindcrackers as the pit crew, who's the accountant looking guy they like to make fun of? I suppose Shree is the obvious choice there. But what about lollipop head? Is he in this?

This makes me weirdly excited somehow.

[kappa77]

I'm glad you're excited, but I don't know who he would be. I may put a line about him when I (finally) get to the races, but I don't know.

I would think it would be someone whose not on the Mindcrack server, but is still a friends with some of them.
