After school, steely and I got ready for the race . Yet again the destination was the Cars Gravyard . He took his skateboard out of his locker and put on his goggles ,adjust his hat on his head and said " Are you ready?"

"We both know I only need my skills to beat your toys!"

He just sighed. As I expected. So we didn’t waste any time once we were outside the school . We started the count down together.

GO!
He got early lead very fast and tried to keep his distance from. Still it's no surprise that he got the lead from someone who's running. I tried to close distance until we get to twon . So I could just start my own game from then.

After a while we rwached the twon . He still had the lead but I just needed a little shortcut. So I just climbed a wall and reached the top of the roof in no time. Now my path was straight towards the Cars Gravyard but unfortunately for Steely ,he still needed to take all the turns.

"No crazy stuff, Flame." Steely shouted while he was increasing his speed.

"What!?" I shouted from the roof top while I was trying to jump on the other one, "I can't hear you over the sound of how close I am to winning !"

I couldn't see or even hear him properly , but I was sure he just sighed after hearing that.

My path was straight except the four way station . If I could somehow pass that I was right on the destination.

Steely and I reached there just toghether . But the light was red for us so we couldn’t pass . Well, steely couldn't pass.

A bus was coming across my way and that was all I needed!

"1.....2......3" I'd timed the bus arrival just right and I landed on the bus as planned. I couldn’t mess around since it was moving , so I just jumped again and I was at my destination.

After 15 seconds the light turned green and my fellow friend decided to start moving. I was there already when he came.

"OK, Flame," he said as he bent over with his hands on his knees , trying to catch his breath. "Please don't do that, Again! "

"Fine, but we both know that i have done crazier stuff than that."

He slapped his head when I said that.

"Let's just get started."

He had worn his fire- proof clothes and got ready to countinu practice with me. I took of my gloves and got ready for training. As Always he started explaining to me what to do:

"OK, today we're going to see how strong and damaging your fireballs can be! Your first target is that bottle over there."

I got ready , preparing to shoot at that bottle. I Flamed my hand to make my shot , took a deep breath and shot the fire at it. But it didn’t even reached the bottle.

Second try , I got ready again . This time I put more effort in to it. I shot but I missed . The same thing happened with the third try.

On the forth try it hit the bottle . But it didn’t fall. Kit just stood there .

We were there for like an hour trying to make that bottle fall. I just couldn't belive that I could turn the collapsing ceiling of a house to ashes and open my way . But I couldn't make that bottle drop! Like that was just super mega humiliating.

I just got furious and shot the bottle with all my force. I looked to see what happened so did steely.

Good news: I hit the bottle.

Bad news: I started a fire!

Well,we managed to put it out before it got our of control. But I learned something : just use fire balls to hit big objects. Or just stick to close range.
