"From the sounds of it, you have always liked women. But given some of the things you have been through. I can understand why you dislike most men." Nodrog said.

"I guess I always have. Never given it much thought before. Actually I have never had a reason to give it much thought." Jenny said.

"Unless something has changed, why even worry about it?" Alice asked and rested her head on Jenny's chest.

"Good point... Speaking of points." Jenny giggled.

"What, you and her keep fidgeting." Nodrog said.

Jenny wiggled her hips a little. "How about we fidget a little more?"

"I think I have a better idea." Alice said and got up. She pulled off her top and bra.

"I think I like this idea." Jenny said and started striping.

Alice put a finger on Nodrog's snout. "You stay right there."

"What about..." Jenny was interrupted by Alice kissing her as she had her pants pulled part way down.

"You and I are going to give a little demonstration." Alice said and headed for the kitchen.

"We are?" Jenny asked.

Alice pulled out the biggest cucumber they had. "Well you started it. So now you can finish it."

Alice handed Jenny the cucumber and finished getting undressed. As she bent over Jenny leaned forward and stuck her tongue inside of her causing Alice to moan. Alice stood up and switched places with Jenny at the far end of the couch.

"Trust me, you will enjoy this too." Alice said with a wink as Jenny rubbed her clit and nibbled on one of her nipples.

It was hard to look away as Jenny and Alice made out on the far end of the couch. He was rather uncomfortable just sitting and the two seemed to take enjoyment out of his fidgeting. Alice had reached down between Jenny's legs and was teasing her as Jenny and her kissed.

Jenny purred softly as Alice fingered her. She pushed her hips down onto Alice's fingers. They both looked at him and coyly smiled. Nodrog groaned as they both ludely licked the big green vegetable. They alternated sucking on it and never took their eyes off of him. They also kept their fingers deep inside the other one moaning softly.

Jenny purred as she rubbed the wet cucumber over one of Alice's breasts before moving it further down the mouse's body. "I think you are ready" Jenny cooed and gently and slowly worked the cucumber into Alice.

"It's cold..." Alice moaned and giggled as Jenny slipped more of it inside of her. She shivered as the cold and odd texture gave her pleasure.

Nodrog watched as Jenny seductively climbed up on the couch. She licked her upper lip as she guided the other end of the cucumber inside of her. The two of them moaned louder as they ground their hips playing a kinky tug of war with the large vegetable.

Alice moaned and came as Jenny sucked on the tip of her tail. Jenny closed her eyes as she pushed the cucumber deeper into them and moaned softly as she came. "I think he enjoyed it." Jenny softly teased as Alice pulled off of the cucumber.

"Lets see how much he enjoyed it." Alice said as she knelt on the floor next to him. Her hands taking their time to unfasten his pants.

Jenny crawled over to him and kissed him as she worked on pulling his shirt off. They got him undressed and he moaned as they licked him. They each had a hand around his knot and made sure no part of him was missed. "You first." Jenny said after the two of them kissed.

Alice stood up and straddled his lap. She put both of her hands on his chest and lowered herself down on him. "It's hot." Alice moaned as she got all of him inside of her. The cold from the cucumber made his higher body temp even more noticeable.

Jenny put her arms around Alice one playing with her breast and the other slowly making its way down to do what Alice had done to her. She still had the cucumber inside of her and continued to play with it. She moaned in Alice's ear as she came again. Jenny nibbled on her neck and smiled as Alice tensed up just before she came a second time.

Jenny pulled the vegetable out of her and enjoyed having Alice pinned between them. As the three lay in the afterglow, she thought about the assignment later in the month. Actually she was a little concerned with her own behavior. Jenny was beginning to doubt she was strictly girls only. Because the thought of Nodrog and Sherman alone with her sparked a little lust. Sherman wasn't seeing anyone at the time when Alice tied her up, but now he was.

Samantha was her friend and Jenny didn't want to hurt her feelings because she couldn't keep her own pants on. The adult store had female chastity devices... but that might be a little ridiculous. On the bright side, she did manage to sit through an entire meeting and did not make any sexual innuendos to Jennifer at the club.

Tomorrow she and Alice would go out for her last practice for her body double stunt Saturday. Jenny knew if she could focus on other things, everything would work out. That was just what she would have to do, even if it majorly sucked.

Nodrog talked with both of the pilots they had narrowed the search down too. Instead of talking to each separately he sat with them both in an empty flight prep room in one of the hangers. Each had some combat experience and each were more than qualified to fly the gunship or any other small craft needed.

Instead of beating around the bush, Nodrog cut straight to the chase. "Leuit. Sherman and I are in need of a pilot for last minute or short notice Nightmare operations. After reviewing several personal files, the two of us, have narrowed it down to the two of you."

"We are asking for a volunteer. If both of you decline, then we will simply ask the next two choices." Nodrog said and looked them both over.

"I do have a question. Why did Cindy quit?" The younger of the two asked.

"She did not think she could stomach some aspects of our particular line of work." Nodrog said.

"She is a good pilot, and a good kid. But lets face it, you and Sherman are exceptionally skilled in one area. That doesn't sit well with some people." The older man said.

"It doesn't have to. We do what others cannot, or will not do. The end results justify the means." Nodrog said.

"Isn't that a little heavy handed? I mean there must have been innocent people involved." The younger man said.

"They were harboring armed rebels, so that makes them guilty by just that fact." The older man said.

"Exactly. If that is a problem, then perhaps this assignment is not for you. We don't need a moral compass, we need a gunship pilot." Nodrog said flatly.

"I'm in. This current assignment has gotten a little dull. You have a kid on the way, and no one will miss me if I get blown out of the sky." The older man said.

"I know, its just..." The younger man said and Nodrog held his hand up to stop him.

"Don't worry about it. Nothing said between the three of us, leaves this room. There will be nothing noted in your personnel file and it will not affect other promotions or opportunities that come your way. Because at the end of the day, we never had this conversation." Nodrog said.

"So that is the way this is going to work?" The older man said.

"Yes. I will speak with Mr. October on the matter. He will want to speak with you on the matter and brief you further. You will be given the same clearance as we have and when we get called, you will get called." Nodrog said.

"I don't suppose you know when your next op is?" The older man asked.

Nodrog picked up the files he had. "No. As I said, they are short notice operations."

He walked outside and could hear the little red sports car off in the distance. He could see Jim and Kenny working over in the shop and with little thought he appeared next to one of the bay doors. Mainly so he wouldn't scare either of them, he doubted Jim's heart condition could take it.

They were getting the trailer they had ready for the trip out early in the morning. It was going to be a pretty simple set up. Jenny would make the trip out riding in the trailer, and no one but Alice, Kenny and Jim would be allowed in it. If asked where Jenny was, they all agreed on 'she ate too much and didn't feel good' as their excuse for her absents. Which apparently happened rather frequently he had learned.

"When Alice goes to change into her race suit at the last minute, that is when they will switch. Jenny will come out with the helmet on and jump right in the car." Jim said.

"Alice will still change but wait for us to flag down an official in a van. Who will give her a ride out to the Viper which is already at the facility in a secret location." Kenny said.

"Sounds rather straight forward. I am guessing when she goes to get ready most bystanders will be in their seats." Nodrog said.

"With the exception of her father. He likely will be down in the main pits most of the day. Just because he is friends with so many people." Jim said.

"That will be the trick is to keep him distracted just enough he won't notice a difference. Jenny is good a mimicking other people, so it should go off without a hitch." Kenny said.

They turned as the little red rocket came to a stop sideways a few feet short of the trailer ramps. "I am so ready for this!" Jenny exclaimed as they both got out of the car.

"I think so. I know I can't wait. It would be nice to see the look on my dad and Wes' face when they find out I am not in this car." Alice said. They both were in identical fire suits which made the small differences in their bodies unnoticeable. Without the helmets Jenny was a little taller, at the top of her head. However her ears were much shorter than Alice's, so at the ears the difference was negligible.

Nodrog could see the little difference in the way they stood. Jenny had to bend her knees and take a little wider stance to match Alice in height. If you were not looking for differences, Jenny could match Alice's body mechanics rather well. "I must admit, it will be hard to spot the difference between the two of you."

"The hard part will be when I get in the car. Mimicking a person on stage is not too bad. Mimicking a person's well known style, that will be hard." Jenny said as she and Alice walked up the ramp to change out of the fire suits.

"Joe is confident he can convince people during the interview that it is a car issue and not a driver issue." Kenny said.

After the girls changed they loaded up the car and called it a day shortly after four.

"Did we ever figure out how many laps I will need to run before Joe give's the signal to switch?" Jenny asked as they sat in Kenny's apartment. His wife and kids were gone, and he had the largest apartment of them all.

"A single parade lap, followed by two laps to get into starting order. Joe and I think it will be on lap six or seven after the green flag." Jim said.

"The only person on track that will mess with you is Wes. He will want me to play with him. And I will play with him once I get out on track, all you have to do is egg him on." Alice said.

"You really don't mind watching the boys why we go out?" Kenny asked as he checked his watch.

"No it will be fine, you and Rose haven't gone out just the two of you in months." Jenny said.

"Jenny!" Mike and Dennis yelled as they and Rose walked into the apartment. Rose and Mike were part chipmunk, the same way Jenny was part feline. Dennis was like Kenny and had no animal traits at all. Mike was five and Dennis had just turned four. Jenny was sitting on the floor and both boys ran into her and all three fell to the floor. In a giggling tickling heap.

"Hello." Rose said and set her purse near the door.

"Hi hunny." Kenny said and gave her a kiss when she bent down next to him

"So where are you two going to?" Alice asked and watched Jenny wrestle around with the boys. For someone who had a rotten childhood, Jenny got along with kids exceptionally well. Maybe because in some aspects, Jenny never completely grew up.

"We are going to try that new Asian restaurant." Rose said as she put away a few things she had bought at the store.

"Ooo, you will have to tell us how it is." Jenny said after pinning Mike down while Dennis lay across her back. Trying to get the upper hand, or help his brother.

"Well we should let them get ready." Jim said. Nodrog, Alice and him all stood up.

"You want us to get you any dinner Jenny?" Alice asked.

"Heck no, because we are having PIZZA!" Jenny said and threw her hands up over her head.

"PIZZA! PIZZA!" The boys cheered and mimicked her motion.

"I guess that answers that question." Nodrog said with a chuckle.

They all left and could hear the three chanting pizza part of the way down the hall. "I cannot believe how well the boys get along with her. I am so glad she doesn't mind babysitting them. Have the two of you talked about maybe adopting?" Rose asked.

"Actually we have. The only problem is, one of us would have to give up our field position. Right now the two of us love getting to do all the travel. I know my parents are eagerly awaiting grandchildren" Alice said as they waited for the elevator. Carrel was going to meet them in the lounge for dinner.

"I will give Nodrog a call if she is sleeping when we get back home." Kenny said.

"Don't worry about it, stay out as long as you want. If the three of them are completely worn out and sleeping that will be fine." Alice said.

"I like how you are so agreeable to volunteering me for things." Nodrog said and chuckled.

"It falls under helping with choirs. Besides, I have had to carry her myself a few times." Alice said.

"And she has had to carry you, and I know he has carried you both at least once." Jim chuckled.

"For all of the help they have given, I don't mind in the least." Nodrog said.

"I just figured you would still be up." Kenny said and shrugged.

"Don't worry I will still be up. Have a good evening out." Nodrog said. The three of them got off the elevator and walked over to the lounge.

Sherman and Samantha joined them a little after they had ate dinner. Both Sherman and Jim taught Nodrog how to play pool. Somewhat annoyingly like all other things he picked up the game very quickly. On the other hand it gave him something else he and Sherman had in common besides war.

The two of them stayed up a later than the others, and only realized how late it had become when Kenny called Nodrog a little before midnight. Sherman decided to call it a night as well. They made plans for Nodrog to text Sherman were they could be found at the track. After that Nodrog headed up to Kenny's apartment.

"She is out cold." Kenny said as Nodrog walked over to him.

"How about your boys?" Nodrog asked.

"See for yourself." Kenny chuckled and opened the door.

Jenny was laying on her side with Dennis sort of curled up next to her and Mike oddly laying on his back across her legs. All three of them were lightly snoring in a somewhat tangled mess of arms, legs, tails and wires from the little kid video game controllers.

"Looks like they had a exciting evening." Nodrog said with a smile.

"The boys absolutely adore her. Probably because she doesn't make them go to bed on time, and will play any game with them for hours on end." Rose said having come out from the bedroom.

"I will take Mike if you can get her to let go of Dennis." Kenny knelt down to scoop up the older boy.

Between Nodrog and Rose they managed to get the younger boy out of Jenny's grasp. Nodrog gently picked her up. "See you in the morning."

"Thanks for coming to get her. Have a good night." Rose said.

Alice was brushing her teeth when Nodrog came into their room with a soundly sleeping Jenny in his arms. "How hard was it to get the boys off of or out of her arms tonight?" She asked quietly as Nodrog laid her down. He had forgotten to get her shoes picked up. No big deal, Jenny had several pair.

"I take it they usually fall asleep like that then. She only had an arm around Dennis." Nodrog said.

"Yeah, we usually find them in some form of pile. None of us can figure out how they get that way. Its so cute." Alice said as they at least got her partly undressed.

Nodrog gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Sweet dreams love."

Chapter.

To say Alice and Jenny were excited, would be a little bit of an understatement. Both were up early for a Saturday. In fact they were dressed and ready to leave at seven, which was an hour earlier then they needed to be.

Jim and Kenny were more than surprised to see the three of them all ready in the shop. "I think this is a first." Kenny said as they walked in.

"We even got your coffee ready for you." Alice said with a smile.

"I don't know what you three did, but they were still out cold when I left." Kenny said.

"Same thing we always do, have fun." Jenny said.

"Who fell asleep first?" Nodrog asked.

"Um... I don't know." Jenny said and shrugged.

"Doesn't really matter. We had a good time by ourselves and the boys had a good time as well." Kenny said.

"We did forget one small little detail." Jim said.

"What's that?" Alice asked.

"Your dad has all ready seen the Viper. Granted it was not finished at the time. He will likely ask someone about it." Jim said.

"Wait when did he get to see it?" Alice asked.

"Ah crap I had forgot about that. Katie had to show us the night we got back into town. Before the twins had even started working on it. She threatened us with bodily harm if we told you." Kenny said.

"So tell him its broke." Nodrog wondered why they all looked at him funny. "What?"

"Actually that isn't a bad idea." Jim said and called up Joe. Their conversation was rather short.

"So?" Jenny asked.

"Katie and Little Joe already figured that out too. The story is when Little Joe was testing the computer tune some defect in the clutch caused it to catastrophically fail. They couldn't get a new one installed in time." Jim said.

"Good save on their part. So we are still good to go." Jenny said.

"Sounds like it. Well lets saddle up." Jim said.

Since Jim's truck was a regular cab, Nodrog rode in the back with Jenny. Once at the track. Alice let Nodrog out of the trailer, she locked that door so no one could just walk in. The only other way in was the door between the living quarters and the space for the car.

"We were wondering if you would come along too." Lucy said. They had arrived a little earlier than most. Mainly so they would be sure to talk with everyone.

"I wouldn't miss the chance." Nodrog said.

"Jenny didn't come with you?" Ron asked as Jim and Kenny unloaded the Lotus.

"No, she ate too much junk food babysitting Kenny's boys." Alice said.

"Are we going to miss out on seeing your little boys Kenny?" Lucy asked.

"I think they will still make it, they can sleep in a little later than the rest of us." Kenny said.

They had parked next to and behind the semi truck Joe had. Giving Alice more cover to jump out for her ride to the other car. Fans and spectators were only allowed on one side of the pit vehicles. The area behind them was for pit crews and track staff.

"Alice!" Mike and Dennis yelled over the pit road noise and ran up to her.

"Hello Rose." Lucy said and gave her a hug. "They are getting so big."

"That they are." Rose said and turned to Katie. "I hear you have one on the way too."

"Joe and I are really excited." Katie said.

Alice walked over to Wes and elbowed him in the side. "Hey slow poke."

"Hey little one." Wes said and messed with her hair.

"Were is your partner in crime?" Natasha asked.

"She had to stay home, she ate to much junk food babysitting Kenny's boys." Alice said.

"Didn't she do that last time?" Wes asked.

"It is more common than you think. Someday she will learn." Alice said and kept the smile to herself.

"TJ isn't feeling so hot either, she really wanted to be here too." DJ said as she set down a box of posters on one of the tables they had set up. A little after eleven the main part of the crowd drifted down to the pit area to get autographs and talk to their favorite drivers.

Sherman managed to lead his mom and Samantha over to Alice and the rest of them. Thanks in part to the text Nodrog had given him, he also reminded Sherman the Viper was still a secret.

"Hello again, I was hoping Sherman would bring you along." Lucy said and exchanged a hug with Amber.

"He didn't have a choice. I insisted he bring me out here." Amber said cheerfully. "She sure is a popular young lady."

"She always has been." Katie said as she checked the time. "I am Katie and this is my husband Joe."

"Pleased to meet you. I am Sherman's mother Amber. I have seen a few of your cars in some of the magazines we sell at the little bookstore. I really like the dark yellow Lambo you painted last year." Amber said.

"Wow your mom is a total car nut." Samantha said.

"That is no joke." Sherman said.

Jenny checked the time and sat cross legged on the small bed. She wasn't nervous per say, but a little meditation to focus her inner 'Alice' wouldn't hurt. She could hear a few familiar voices, the little boys were loud enough she recognized them right away. She smiled as the thought of everyone seeing her get out of the car after the switch brought a smile to her face.

Alice checked her watch, the countdown was on. DJ told her TJ had finished going over the Viper, all it needed to be ready was Alice. Lucy took all of them up to the VIP box her, Ron and a very few other semi retired drivers used for events at the track. Amber was getting to meet a few other drivers she had seen race.

Fifteen till. The officials rounded up the last of the spectators and fans to get them in their seats. They just finished checking the Lotus and the Austin out and topped off any fluids they needed.

Ten till. Ron gave Alice a quick hug and kiss before she went to change and he went up to join the rest of them in the VIP box. Alice went into the trailer to get changed. Jenny was completely suited up minus the helmet.

"Are you nervous?" Alice asked as she stripped down to put her race suit on.

"No. This will be my finest performance to date." Jenny said and curtsied.

Alice zipped up her suit. "It will be your turn to be center stage. I am so proud of you."

"Not center stage, you are still the leading star." Jenny said and kissed Alice before putting on the helmet.

Zero hour. Jenny tightened the belts and turned the key. The little turbo motor quickly came to life. Jenny checked the gauges just as Alice had told her too. Jim and Kenny gave her a thumbs up and Jenny spun the tires to pull out and tuck in behind Wes.

Wes smiled as he could hear Alice blip the throttle like she was so fond of doing when following someone. "Are you ready for a little fun Alice?"

Little Joe and Alice decided against trying to use the false radio. So Little Joe tweaked the microphone in Jenny's helmet so she could hear but not transmit.

"All I got was static. Little Joe did you catch what she said?" Wes asked. She flashed her head lamps at him.

"Just static on my end Wes. Too late to worry about it now." Little Joe said with a smile as DJ quietly laughed in the back ground. Katie and Natasha had gone up with Ron.

Jim flagged down the official to give Alice a ride. Just as they planed she got on unseen and was off to meet TJ. Alice made it out to the car just as they were grouping the field for the actual green flag.

"So did anyone see you?" TJ asked as Alice quickly pulled the trailer door closed behind her.

"Not a soul." Alice said.

"Now that you are here. Everything is good to go." TJ said.

"I can't wait to unleash the evil you and your sister put in this car. Wes and all the others won't know what hit them." Alice said with a wicked smile.

Now that she was on the move, Jenny could turn on the radio. Alice never turned it on when she is racing, but Jenny concentrated better with music. Jenny zipped ahead of Wes then slowed down so he would pass her. She scuffed the tires like Alice had told her to, the perpetration was kind of a pain. It needed done, after the green flag she could actually have fun.

"I hope they haven't started yet." Mike said as he held the door open for Carly.

Lucy and Ron both recognized the girl who limped her way in on crutches and a metal fake leg. "Oh you poor dear." Lucy said as Alice's friend hobbled over to them.

"Long time no see." Carly said with a smile.

"Here take my chair, I will get another one." Ron said and stood up.

"Thanks. We haven't missed anything have we?" Carly asked as she sat down.

"They are on the last pace lap. So it is just getting started." Katie said. She and Lucy had to fight hard to keep the tears at bay.

"Good to see you again, Mike." Ron said and shook his hand. "Maybe next year Alice will go a little easier on you."

"We both know that will never happen." Mike said with a little laugh.

"Here they come." Natasha said as they rounded the last corner and the pace car got out of the way.

Jenny smiled as the bass hit just as the yellow lights went to green. With industrial trance pumping out the little car's sound system Jenny jabbed down on the throttle. "Time to play."

The other benefit Jenny had was this was not an official race. So the other drivers were out for a little fun and friendly competition. She up shifted to 4th and keep right on the back of Wes' Austin. She smiled as they both got a little sideways around the first corner.

Alice had told her to relax and just try to have fun. So that was what she was going to do. Have fun and go fast. Wes egged her on a little over the radio but Jenny didn't fall for it. She managed a quick down shift and got the nose of the Lotus inside of him on a sweeping left hander. Jenny couldn't help but make a little victory whoop for passing him.

Granted it was short lived. Jenny knew she couldn't out race anyone on the track, it didn't mean she wouldn't try. The little engine sung along with the heavy music as Jenny kept the car in 4th for a long and wide left corner that raised in elevation. Once she crested the top 5thgear and full throttle along the downhill slight right.

Wes quickly pulled out and passed her once more, but she didn't care. Jenny managed to keep people behind her that were in the same class as the Lotus. She couldn't have forced the issue if this was a more serious event. The event was free to the public it was mainly to promote the sport and allow fans a chance to watch a little racing and talk to their favorite drivers.

Alice could picture Jenny with the tip of her tongue stuck out in an adorable look of concentration. She was getting antsy as the cars roared past a second time. "I really want to get out there."

"Joe just sent me a text saying he would head up to speak with the announcer in the next two laps." TJ said. Alice was belted in the car and she was just leaning up against the door. They were away from any cameras and under the shade of a few trees.

"How does Jenny seem to be doing?" Alice asked. They couldn't talk over the radio in case someone was listening to their radios. Which was why Little Joe made it seem like the radio in the Lotus was acting up.

TJ sent Joe a text to ask him. "Little Joe says she is a solid minuet slower then you, but with the pace everyone is running, it doesn't look out of place. From what he is seeing she is doing really good." TJ said and snapped her bubble gum.

Katie sent Joe a text after four laps letting him know, no one had questioned Jenny's Alice impersonation. "From the sound and look of it, Jenny is pulling off a good impersonation of Alice." Joe said as Jim and Kenny sat in the big trailer with him and Little Joe.

"Well, have fun pulling off the biggest prank I have had the pleasure of being a part of." Jim said.

"Joe said he just sat down to talk with the announcer. Start the car Alice." TJ said and took a step away as the big V-10 came to life. A smile spreading across her lips and face as the wicked engine roared to life.

Joe talked with the announcer for a little while before he got the opening he was looking for. "Alice has come a long way with a fair amount of help from your staff. What more can you tell us about her? She seems a little off pace..." The announcer said.

"It is funny you mention that, because Alice is not actually driving the Lotus." Joe said with a big smile. There was a stunned silence in the VIP room and Katie couldn't hold back the laughter any more. Only Nodrog had known about the secret and from the look on everyone's face they all had fallen for it. He smiled as the little red car shot past the front straight.

"What do you mean Alice isn't driving?" The announcer asked dumfounded.

"We have an Alice, double driving the Lotus." Joe hit the send button to give TJ the pre typed out message. "I would like to direct everyone's attention to the back stretch where the real Alice is, in her new car."

TJ read the text, pumped her fist in the air and quickly jabbed her right hand out pointing down the service road. Alice revved the motor and side stepped the clutch. Spinning all four wheels the snake sprung from ambush to strike. "Kick his ass Alice!" TJ yelled as the Viper lost traction after Alice grabbed 2nd gear.

"What was Joe saying about Alice" Wes asked.

Little Joe turned Jenny's microphone on, but ran it through a distortion device so she sounded like a robot. "Just a little surprise Wes." Little Joe said.

"I'm not Alice. The real Alice will be right behind you." Jenny said in the metallic sounding voice.

"What the fuck..." Wes said as he caught the terrifying candy red Viper screaming down the service road to his right.

"Allow me to introduce the real Alice in her brand new twin turbo all wheel drive Viper. After her victory in France and as a engagement present, the twins built her a car that she could compete in the next class up. Today is the cars official unveiling to the public." Joe said as the snake drifted out onto the track under full power all four wheels screaming in protest.

"Does this mean next year she will be competing more frequently?" The announcer asked.

"We are still working on that. She might run a few races in each car." Joe chuckled.

"You and Joe said it was broke." Ron said and looked at Katie.

"We lied. And from the look on your face it was so worth it." Katie laughed.

"Mommy are there two Alice's?" Dennis asked as the Viper closed in on Wes.

"It sure looks like it." Rose said.

"You will just have to wait to see who is driving the little car. But that big candy red car is really Alice. It's her brand new car." Katie said as she knelt down next to the two boys and pointed at the Viper.

"Alice has a faster car?" Mike asked wide eyed.

"I think its time for the fake Alice to bow out." Jenny said and pulled off the track onto the service road Alice had came on from.

"Hey there slow poke." Alice said as she pulled up alongside Wes.

"You sneaky little mouse. So what's the deal?" Wes asked.

"You and me, right here, right now." Alice said. She could almost imagine the look of astonishment on her dad's face. They had a radio up in the VIP room and could hear her now that Little Joe turned on her two way radio.

"Now that is music to my ears." Wes said and up shifted as they came around the final corner to head to the start finish line.

"Are they going to race for real?" Dennis asked.

"They sure are and we get to see it all." Carly said.

The twin candy colored cars were side by side at one hundred mph. When they crossed the line Wes and Alice hammered down. Wes was all ready on the inside lane and preferred line. Not that it mattered to Alice. She licked her lips and down shifted to 3rd Wes was never going to pull away from her.

Half a lap down and Wes knew he was not going to beat her by much. She was too good of a driver and now had a car that matched that skill. Every time he pushed a little harder, Alice was right behind him. Nearly everyone knew they had quite the rivalry and the other racers on track didn't mind leaving them room to actually race.

As the two cars roared and howled around the slower cars on the track and the track itself something was becoming a clear. Wes was not going to beat Alice, he was going to lose because as hard as he tried she never faltered.

He could almost see the evil smirk on her face as she matched his every move effortlessly. It was a sadistic game of cat and mouse, but it was the mouse with the razor sharp teeth. Her unnervingly calm demeanor did not help either.

Alice grabbed 5th cut inside of Wes and pulled up alongside him once more as they hit the long back straight away. "Hey Wes. I just got one thing to say."

"What's that?" Wes asked.

"Bye bye cutie pie." Alice said coyly and actually gave the car everything it had. Her adorably disturbing evil laughter coming over the radio.

Wes was at full throttle already and knew he was done when the turbos on the massive engine started screaming louder and Alice pulled away from him. Quickly.

A hush fell over the crowd as the little mouse who only raced once and a while, played in the dirt full time and most never took very seriously... left one of the best drivers behind like a lost little rooky. The guttural roar and high pitched scream from the truly nasty motor drowning out everything else. TJ and DJ really had built the most evil street car anyone had seen and in Alice's hands, it was a menacing sight indeed.

While the cars were in the same class by very strict rules and regulations. It was clear Alice and Wes were not. Alice had beat Mike the Drift King before and was proving even the King of Road Course was no match for her. Alice was in a league of her own, the Queen of Four Wheels.

"All this time she had been holding back." Carly said as Mike put a hand on her shoulder.

"We never would have had a chance." Mike said as the Viper went flying by at well over two hundred mph. Joe came into the room and said hello to them.

"Alice was never holding back, her cars have been." Ron said and crossed his arms. "To make her a better driver, I tuned her carts and cars to be a little under powered. So she had to be a better driver to win."

"Then we gave her the keys to a car that for most purposes has no limit." Katie said.

"Why would you try and hold her back?" Sherman asked.

"Adversity is a staunch teacher. If Alice did not have to work hard, she would not be as good as she is." Nodrog said.

"That seems a little harsh." Samantha said.

"It might be, but look how far she has come." Ron said and gestured to the track as the Viper just dominated every car on it.

Wes set two more personal best times and never could close in on Alice. Five solid laps he gave chase but Alice still remained out of his reach. "Alice, you win."

"So what did you think of my double?" Alice asked as she slowed down and Jenny pulled back out on track so they could run a few laps together. She was just cheerful that she had beat him.

"Are you going to tell us who it is?" Wes asked.

"No. You will have to wait until the very end." Jenny said with the metallic voice Little Joe had given her.

"I know who it is." Dennis said and looked up at Katie.

"You think so, do you?" Katie said. He just shook his head yes but never said who he thought it was.

"So when did this little plan get hatched?" Amber asked.

"The day after Katie and I gave her the car." Joe said. The little Lotus playing leap frog with the big Viper around the track.

After another eight laps all of the cars pulled into the pits. The rest of the day would be for drivers to talk to their fans and each other. Jenny and Alice parked side by side and each got out of the car but left their helmets on. The hard part was not instantly running over to the other and hugging. That would have gave the surprise away to quickly.

Jenny smiled as they all tried to figure out who was who. She made a gesture that only Dennis and Mike would know. Their eyes grew really wide and they ran over to her, then around her. "We knew it was you!" Dennis and Mike yelled in glee.

"Who on earth did you find that looks so much like Alice?" Carly asked

Alice pulled off her helmet. "Someone very close."

"You can't mean..." Lucy said and they all watched as Jenny's blond hair fell out of the helmet.

"Jenny!" The boys yelled and cheered.

"Just little ol' me." Jenny said with a big smile.
