The Baby Sister (Teaser 3)
:|: Living in the Fast Lane :|:"Can you have the cars ready in time?"
Four members of City Streets sat in an office, all holding a bottle in their hand. The office was a bit messy with papers covering the entirety of the desk and sticking out haphazardly of the file cabinet. The room was rather stuffy with no real signs of any air condition - unless you count the one window behind the desk that was open. The room was filled with whirring, buzzing, and screeching of different tools from the adjacent garage. Amongst the four members was the leader, the face of the team, the main mechanic, and the oldest member of the gang. Three of the four were covered in a layer of dirt, grime, grease, and sweat while the last one was as clean as a whistle. The one who had voiced the question was none other than the leader himself - Jay Park.
Two of the boys - both of whom were covered in dirt - shared a glance, before one of them turned to face the leader, "Yeah. I might have to pull in a few extra hands, but we'll have them ready in time for the race."
Jay nodded his head, took a sip of his drink, and turned to look at the fourth man, "TaeHyun, keep in contact with Junsu. I want to know if anything changes."
"Sure thing, but," the twin with blue eyes started with a sly smile on his face and an eyebrow raised in amusement, "You know he doesn't tell anyone - not even me - anything before race day."
Jay made a noise in the back of his throat that told TaeHyun that he had heard and didn't like that fact about Junsu. The twin merely laughed at the leader's annoyed expression as he took a drink of his soda. Both the face and the mechanic sat in silence as they enjoyed the small break from work. Though they loved working on cars, breaks were always appreciated.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. All heads turned towards the noise as the person didn't even wait for Jay to acknowledge them. They pushed the door open and stood in the doorway for only a moment before walking inside the office and closing the door behind them. The figure turned out to be a girl with tan skin and blue eyes. Her red and blonde tipped hair was pulled in fishtail braid that was tossed over her one shoulder. Her black, ankle-high boots clacked on the floor slightly as she walked past three of the boys. She stopped momentarily when she was next to the face of the team - Joon. The rather short woman ruffled his hair, causing him to laugh before she came to stand behind the chair Jay sat in.
She leaned down and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, "Hey oppa. Whatcha guys talking about?"
The leader patted her clasped hands, "Hey Jojo. And nothing much, just getting ready for the race in a few days time."
The girl, Jojo - or more commonly known as Natalie - made a 'hmm' noise as she snatched Jay's drink and took a swig. One look at her brother's face nearly sent her into a fit of laughter. His jaw was slacked and he narrowed his eyes at her. How dare she steal his drink. Jay tried to take his drink back, but only to have Natalie back away from him. She was not going to start this... Or maybe she was. Jay began to move so he could stand up and, with a mischievous twinkle in her blue eyes, Natalie dashed around his desk and behind Joon's chair.
"Save me!"
Both TaeHyun and Taeyang, the main mechanic, were laughing at this point. They always enjoyed when the baby girl of the group came around; she made things so interesting.
Joon's brown eyed grew wide and he looked between the siblings as he held his hands up, "Don't get me involved!"
The red and blonde haired woman scoffed at her friend and punched him the shoulder, "You coward."
While Natalie glared at the face of the team, she forgot all about her brother. Who, by the way, was sneaking around to stand behind her. Before she could realize this, Jay wrapped his large arms around her middle and hoisted her into the air. Natalie screamed in surprise and nearly elbowed Jay in the face out of natural instinct. Luckily, as her brother, he knew what she would do and was able to tilt his head out of her range. Once she got over her intial shock though, the woman started laughing. With one arm still holding onto her waist tightly, Jay reached around her and grabbed his soda from her hand.
"I win," he stated simply with a smug smirk on his face.
Her brother put her down after that and she crossed her arms over chest, "No fair... You're bigger and stronger than me."
"Oh don't give me that."
Natalie merely laughed at his comment as she went to sit on the arm rest of Joon's chair, seeing as how there wasn't another chair in her brother's office. Jay rolled his eyes at his sister as he finally resumed his place in his seat in front of the other three. The three who simply watched the comical and common display between the Park siblings. As her brother became a bit more comfortable in his chair, an arm wrapped around Natalie's waist. Her blue eyes turned down to Joon, before she leaned against one of her best friends.
"Now, as we were saying," Jay started, glaring pointedly at his sister, "The race is this Friday night. Everyone needs to make sure his or her car is working properly. Anything that doesn't feel right needs to be checked. Remember, all of the gangs are going to be there. This is going to be a huge event. Which means, there's a lot of chances for things to go wrong," he threw a glance towards Natalie once more.
Normally, Jay wouldn't stress such simple precautions, but he knew his sister. He knew how she acted at the races and how she drove. He never wanted her to get hurt - well, in truth, he didn't want anyone in City Streets to get hurt, but she was his sister. Obviously, he was going to be a bit more protective of her than the other boys.
The tan girl simply smiled at her brother, "We'll be fine Jay. Don't worry."
"I'll always worry. It's my job," he replied quickly with his own smile.
The other three boys shared a look - here they go being all sweet and caring. TaeHyun dropped his jaw and brought his dinger up to his tongue as he imitated gagging at the overload of sweetness. Though, he couldn't poke too much fun; he tended to act similarly around Bekah. Nevertheless, he gained a chuckle or two from Joon and Taeyang. As Jay continued giving his little talk over what was going to happen, TaeHyun pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He pulled out one and placed it between his lips before searching his pockets for his lighter.
By chance, Natalie looked over right before he was going to light up, "Could you please not light up in here, TaeHyun oppa?"
The blue eyed twin gave her look asking her if she was seriously telling him not to, as he was older than her, before he glanced towards Jay. The leader merely sighed and shook his head - it would just be easier if TaeHyun didn't.
"Fine," the twin drawled out as he stuck the cigarette behind his left ear and pocketed his lighter.
"Thank you," Natalie stated with a bright smile upon her face.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," the boy sighed as he opted to just take another swig from his soda.
"Oh, Jojo," Jay called out, gaining his sister's attention, "Don't you have some homework you need to have done by tomorrow?"
Natalie's face contorted into a grimace as she groaned, "Aww Jay, don't remind me."

Alrighty, there ya go, another teaser. Congratulations to --Angelmato-- ! Please let me know if I'm portraying Natalie right/to your liking. I hope I got her nature with her brother and some little tid bits about her across. Also, to stick to my random car facts: what kind of car do you think would be the most expensive? A Rolls Royce? A Ferrari? Lamborghini? Viper? Well, you would be wrong. The most expensive car that was ever sold was the 1931 Bugatti Royalle Kellner Coupe. It was eventuall sold in 1987 for... $8,700,000! Let's put this in perspective - an Aston Martin One-77 is only $1,850,000 and a Ferrari Enzo is only $670,000... Just wow.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this teaser as well as the others. So, just to make sure everyone saw, there is a deadline now. It's March 4th, 2013. I hope to see more applicants and maybe on for the Crew... Please? P.S. Anything purple is a link ^.^
