The familiar sight of the streets of the Shopping District was ablaze with neon and other lights and Joy grinned as she and her friend strutted their way down the street.  "Wow, look at this place all lit up!  It looks great!"   The setup was similar to what they'd seen on the island; the streets were cleared for the races, cars in place on the asphalt getting their last check overs and the drivers getting ready.  There was a crowd standing on both sides of the street on the sidewalk, as well as a set of stands that had been brought in and hastily assembled.<br/><br/>Engines revved and people called out or cheered their favorites.  The other race queens were walking around, waving to fans or attending on some of the drivers.  She looked about as best she could from her, trying to see if she could spot a girl with blue hair.  No luck yet, but she did spot a certain someone leaning up against his car.  "Oh, ho!  Well, look who it is, Aika."  She glanced over at her friend and could tell that she had seen him too.  Her cheeks were slightly flushed and it looked like the cars weren't the only things with their headlights on.<br/><br/>Joy chuckled, "Go on, give him your favor.  I should look for the Sky-Fire Protector..." She was tempted to select her special option.  Very tempted.  But it was more important that they get what they came here for.   "...and I will."   She looked over at Aika again.  In more ways than one, maybe.  Her icon flipped down through the options.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">&gt; INVESTIGATE<br/>&gt;&gt; SKY-FIRE PROTECTOR</tt><br/><br/>Joy nodded and pushed with her mind, the option selecting.  "Your choice.  Let's have some fun tonight too, huh?"
