After going through the mountains they have finally arrived at the south of France, with beautiful sun and warm beaches makes this a nice vacation destination. Driving along the sea, led by Angeline to introduce one of her friends.
“So, Angeline, who are we meeting today?” Seb asked.
“Well we are going to meet Josephine today. But mind you she is a bit arrogant sometimes, but she can be nice if you know her well.”
Later they stopped over at a small cafe, where there is this woman with long blue hair wearing a red beret eating a croissant. She then noticed Angeline’s presence and gave a small wave.
Angiline then said, “Now, let me introduce you to Josephine. I met her a while back when I was watching rallies when I was younger, and she is a-”
“No need to waste more words on it, I am Josephine, one of the best in terms of running in rally stages. Not only that, I am the most successful in one of the most brutal periods of rally racing. Group B.” She then immediately cuts off her sentence as she is trying to introduce herself.
Seb then asked, “So what car are you, some really fancy saloon or some really sexy looking sports car.”
“I am so glad you asked, let me show you.”
Josephine then clapped her hands and a bright light flashes that reveals an old French hatchback.
“Really that’s you?” Seb and others laughed at the car that she just summoned except for Nekomi who just stood there in awe.
“You fools, there is more than meets the eye. Only people who are sophisticated enough can truly understand the true beauty of this thing. You all are just making a fool of yourselves.” Then she looked over to Nekomi who stood in front of her and said, “But it seems one of you do know what is behind this little thing.”
She then touched his cheek with one hand and continued, “Now tell your friends over there what is that, also I think I should call you ‘mon petit prince’.”
“Well that’s a Peugeot 205 T16, mid-engined all wheel drive car, small 1.8L engine but with a massive turbo that can reach over 400hp. It’s just one of the best.” Nekomi just said.
“See? He is the only one that truly understands my tastes, now if you excuse me. I’m gonna take him for a ride.” Josephine then took Nekomi into her car.
“What a nerd, he only knows these techniques on approaching women because I taught him so. Now look at them, the car barely moves.” Seb then said pointing at them leaving.
But it all simply can be explained by the huge turbo lag that the car has, not long after it accelerates like a rocket ship. “Well forget what I just said.” Seb then said after seeing what he just saw in front of him. Angeline then waves at them saying, “Remember to meet me tonight, I’ll see you two soon.”
Mason then asked Angeline, “So… What about the third one?”
“Oh you mean Liana? Well she’s in Paris. It’s gonna take a while for us to get there.”

Meanwhile, Nekomi and Josephine are in her car driving around the south of France taking him around this place. Josephine then said, “So you do really like cars huh?” Nekomi then immediately nodded his head.
“So try telling me more about this car then.”
“Well since the engine is situated in the middle, this makes handling much easier compared to stuff like the Audi Quattro. So it can take corners with much confidence, and it is very light as well, so it can go quicker.”
“Very well, any more that you want to say.”
“However it does have a huge turbo lag because they need to save weight by not adding an anti-lag system. Also, even though it was the most successful in terms of Group B rally racing, if it didn’t get cancelled this might as well become second.”
Josephine then got a bit nervous and said, “Well let’s not get too much ahead of ourselves but anyways, so what makes you want to go racing in the first place?”
“I am actually quite unsure but some memories of mine seem to make me want to go racing.”
“Why not stop nearby and tell me more.”
Then they parked near the sea and got out of the car and sat where they could see the seaview. “So, tell me. What made you think that you wanted to race.”
“Honestly, all I remember is that there is this blue haired girl with a blue car that I met when I was little, she is quite a happy person I think and she does talk a lot about cars with me which made me get into racing.” Nekomi then answered.
“Well I have blue hair and I’m blue.”
“No you’re white.” Nekomi said as he pointed to her car. “And red, yellow and dark blue as well.”
“OK look at me, how old do you think I am.”
“Well it’s group B we are talking about… just shy of 40?” (by the time of writing)
“Dang it, this kid is smart.” As she muttered to herself, “Well as you know I have seen different people come and go at my age, and honestly some nice ones do make you want to keep on doing what you love. And they are truly the ones that are worth remembering and keeping if you can still keep in touch. So do you miss her sometimes?”
Nekomi then nodded his head.
“Yeah, I do miss Ari sometimes. But you just have to move on, only as happy little memories. Besides, look at the sea. What kind of blue is the girl that you are talking about? Sky or sea?”
“Sea.”
“Then what colour am I?”
“Sky.”
“Then what about yourself?”
“Sky.”
“See, we are meant to be closer to each other, I am supposed to be the one that is with y-”
“But I like the sea.” Nekomi then said
“Huh?” Josephine looks at Nekomi in disbelief.
“Well actually, I wasn’t originally called Nekomi. I was called Morven when I was born, my mother gave it to me actually simply the fact that my parents love the sea and the name means the prince of the ocean or something. Even though I have changed it myself, I still find people that call me by that name to be closer to me.”
“So, who still calls you Morven then?”
“Mason, he’s my only best friend and co-driver.”
“I see, but its not that bad of a name actually so why the change?”
“I was bullied and made fun of when I was young, especially when they made fun of my name. Hence why.”
“Oh dear you.” Josephine then starts patting his head and two cat ears showed up on top of his head.
“You’re the only one that recognises me, so I guess we are pretty close. Can I call you Morven then?” Josephine then asked.
Then all Nekomi said was a gentle “Mhm.” and Josephine then chuckled and said to him, “Well I guess you just got a new best friend now.”
