Peyton wrapped her arms around Lucas as they got out of his car at the Go-Cart track. His lip had stopped bleeding and aside from the tiny cut on his lip, he bore no sign that he had just been involved in a fistfight. Peyton wished he would smile again though.

"You and Lucas are going to have to do a little walk of shame Peyton!" Mouth joked. "Nothing but dust!" He started doing a little pre-victory dance.

"I'm with Mouth." She said grinning at the others though. "We're so going to kick your asses." A few members of the group rolled their eyes at her, but she didn't care. She was here for Mouth, and she was going to make damn sure that he enjoyed himself.
The group broke off into pairs and Rachel and Mouth found themselves in a dark blue car, pulling up toward the starting line. "You ready to win?" She winked at him.

"Thanks Rachel, for being here with me." He smiled. "You're really great." It was almost time for the race to start. It was now or never.
"Rachel?" He said getting up his courage. "Would you, do you want to go out some time? Like a date?" He felt like his heart would explode, it was beating so fast.

She turned to look at him, his brown eyes watching her nervously for an answer. Her stomach turned icy. She wanted to say yes, she really did. But a voice in the back of her mind was stopping her. He wouldn't be asking you this if he knew what you did. He wouldn't even be talking to you. He'll hate you when he finds out. Rachel swallowed and pushed the thoughts aside.
"Okay Mouth," She said with a pretty smile, once again adopting her familiar confidence. "I'll make you a bet. We win this little race, and the answer is yes." The faux traffic light at the starting line had switched from Red to yellow, she turned to grin at him. "And if we lose...the answer is still yes." The light switched from yellow to green and laughing, she slammed her foot down on the accelerator, causing them to shoot forward into the race.

"This is where the lovely Jake Jagielski comes in," She put and arm around Jake's shoulders. "My new partner!" She turned to look at Jake in the eyes. "Unless you have a problem beating these fools?"

"This was a great idea, Sawyer. I think you've really outdone yourself."
He grinned as he looked down at her, letting everyone move ahead of them so that they were held back a little bit.
"Thanks, Peyt. For everything you've been doing with this whole thing."

A slightly breeze blowing her blond curls as she looked up at him, she kissed Lucas. "Of course." She said seriously before smiling again and leading him towards the track.
Nathan and Haley had already grabbed a car and were slowly pulling forward onto the track. Peyton spied a red and black car and gingerly lifted herself inside. "Driver?" She said in an innocent voice while looking up at Luke.
The car started and Lucas pulled them forward next to the starting line and Nathan and Haley's go-cart. Peyton stuck out her tongue at her two friends as they waited for the others to pull up as well.

"I think it's a good thing your leg is hurt so I can drive."
He gave her a playful look, laughing when she hit him (not so gently) on his arm.
"Hey!" But he kept laughing. Soon, Mouth and Rachel pulled up and so did Jake and Brooke.
"Looks like everyone's here."
