“Yes!” Akiha punched the air in jubilation as the Maserati took the chequered flag. The crew rushed out to the pitwall to cheer the car home, and the timing stand was surrounded by cheering mechanics and enthusiastic members of the press hoping for a word with the victorious Team Principal.
Akiha leaned back and shot a smug look at Aaron.
“Well? Isn’t it about time you got down on your knees and praised my genius?”
Aaron rolled his eyes. “Yeah yeah, well done boss. Once again you’ve managed to blow my expectations out of the water. I don’t know why I ever doubted your genius.”
Akiha pouted at him. “That didn’t sound very sincere. We just dominated the race, I don’t think it’s too much to ask for you to pump my tires a little. You could at least praise my quite frankly brilliant decision to hire my alternate universe self.”
Aaron sighed. “Yeah, about that… Akiha, what did you do with around an hour left in the race?”
“I, uh, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Akiha averted her eyes.
“Really?” Aaron leaned towards her. “You know, when it was like the same 2 laps were repeating over and over again for about 10 minutes? You didn’t have anything to do with that?”
Akiha frowned and glared at him. “Fine, I went over the radio and told my alternate self the truth about who I was and I might have disrupted the space/time continuum. So what? It looked like Shoku’s was going to pass us after the pit cycle, I had to do something!”
Aaron leaned back in his chair and heaved a heavy sigh. “So let me get this straight, you risked erasing us from existence because you thought we were going to lose a race that has absolutely no bearing on either of us because we don’t belong in this universe in the first place?”
Akiha thought for a moment. “Uh, yes?”
Aaron shook his head in disbelief. “You crazy bitch.”
“Aww, that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said about me!” Akiha winked at him. “Stop being such a downer, you know you love me.”
“You’re as unabashed as ever.” Aaron grinned. “But I’m afraid washboards aren’t really my type.”
“Such a sharp tongue.” Akiha scowled. “Whatever. Mope around here if you want, I’m going to go celebrate our glorious victory. Suck it Ryuubi Gentoku, whoever you are!”
Akiha leaned back and shot a smug look at Aaron.
