Gotta love mechanics.

Cayla leaned against the grill of a 1969, Ford Mustang. The color of it is a deep red and she fooled around with the large engine, "Wow, gotta thank dad for you." She smiled as she turned a nut that held in a tube. Cayla lifted her torso from the cold titanium that formed the car. She smiled as she took a rag and wiped the oil from her delicate hands. "Soon you'll be as fast as the newer versions," Cayla laughed as she placed the rag on the hood after unhooking the rode that kept it up. Then she went to the side of the car and opened the door. She took the keys and turned them until the engine hummed. Soon she pressed the gas with the door still open and the engine roared then purred for a bit, until she turned it off, "Yep, pretty soon."

Xander was skating on his board around the grounds. He stopped near the garage, he always liked to check it out to see what cars were in there. He kicked his skate board up into his hands. Xander may not own a car but that didn't mean that he didn't like them.

He approached a sweet looking 69 Mustang. He smiled and nodded his head, someone was behind the wheel, he couldn't see who it was but he spoke to them anyway, "Sweet ride!"

[emilee]

"Thanks," Cayla replied stepping out of the drivers seat with the dirty rag in hand, "My dad bought her for me. She used to be in really bad shape until I fixed her up."

Cayla smiled at the new comer. She hadn't really seen him here before. The only mechanic she really saw here was Joe, who was the owner and her father. She placed the rag into the back pocket of her jeans and lifted up the hood again to see the engine once more.

[Xander Donova (Scott)]

Xander blinked in surprised, his mouth hung open. It was a girl! A girl mechanic, ok it was that era, power to the woman and all that but, it still surprised him. He realized and closed his mouth, "Um, well, good job!" He grinned, he held out a hand for her, introducing himself, "I'm Xander." He didn't care that her hands were dirty.

[emilee]

"Cayla," she replied placing her hand in his and making a quick handshake until she placed her hands in her pockets, "And thanks again."

Cayla leaned against the side of the car and looked at it. Thinking it might need a paint job, just maybe. The red needed a little something to pop.

[Xander Donova (Scott)]

Xander nodded, "No probelm..." She went back to the car and Xander stood there feeling quite akward... He clasped his hands together, "So," He walked forward a bit, "what are you working on now?"
He didn't want to bother her...but, he was interested in cars and, she was a very pretty girl.

[emilee]

"Well," Cayla paused, "I was working on the engine but now the breaks, steering, and shifter."

Cayla looked at the hood then the grill and stared at the silver horse carved out of metal that hung there. She smiled and walked back to the side of the car.

Duke walked out into the open of the garage. He saw Cayla and someone else surrounding the mustang. Smiling he placed his wallet into his back pocket and started to walk out when he looked the car over. Smiling at it he stopped and gazed at it. "That's a nice ride."

[Xander Donova (Scott)]

Xander nodded, "A lot of work to go, huh?" He wished he could be helpful and maybe hold tools or something but, he really didn't know that much about macanics...not owning a car and all.

Then some jock came over and started to admire the car, Xander looked over his shoulder at him. He looked to Cayla then back at Duke, "Yup, it's a, great...car." He smiled at Cayla, "I guess I'll be going then." A big guy like Duke, somewhat scared Xander off, plus he didn't know if he was her boyfriend or something. He started to walk away.

[emilee]

Cayla smiled at Duke but grabbed Xander's arm before he left, "Wait, I heard there was a dance comeing up, do you know anything about it?" Cayla smirked nervously and lowered her hand, "I also heard that the girls are suppose to ask the guys."

[Xander Donova (Scott)]

Xander looked down at her hand then back at her. He seemed confused at first but then grinned at her, and answered her question, "Yeah, it's all the talk here at the school, it's coming up this weekend..." He nodded, "Girls ask guys, that would be the bizarro world nature of it...not that I have a problem with the whole thing. The thing is great! It is a great- thing." He hoped he hadn't sounded like too much of an idiot.

(sorry it took so long >.<)

[emilee]

Cayla laughed and rubbed her hands together, "Well, I don't have a date, and I was hoping if you didn't either......but if you do than forget the whole thing," After she said this she returned to her car taking out the rag and dusting off the roof of the car anxiously awaiting his answer.

((It's okay.))

[billybobjoe]

Duke looked at the two and noticed that they were haveing a conversation and slide into the shadows of the garage then out onto the street. After so he started to run after he took out his i-pod and put on a song. He put it in his ears and placed the i-pod into his pocket and jogged away.

[Xander Donova (Scott)]

Xander starred at her a moment. She wanted to go to the dance with him...this took a moment to process. She had just met him, but wanted to go to the dance, with him... He really couldn't believe it. "Me and you, go to the dance?" He grinned again, "That sounds great!" He paused and continued, "So I guess we should plan and stuff, um, so...cell number exchange?"

[emilee]

Cayla smiled happily, "Sure, my number is 785-2613, yours is?" She almost jumped up and down she was so happy. Cayla hadn't been dancing in forever and couldn't wait. Smiling she leaned against the car and waited for his reply happily.
