Bödelstraße, June 2nd 2028, 2AM,
in the middle of the quiet night in the mountains, an engine roared and flew by so fast.
It was revealed the mysterious flash was of a a red BMW 5 series E34 touring, a 525i to be exact. Its orbs glowing white which indicated the headlights had LED bulbs and angel eyes glowing red. A corner came into vision which made the car brake before doing a wide drift, tires screeching letting out a slight smoke.
The car kept accelerating on the 5km long straightway using up all of its 200 horses and 5 speeds pushing it. Another S-curve going downhill through the hill appeared. The driver did a heel and toe downshift to match the revs from 4th to 2nd gear. The naturally aspirated M50B25TU screamed at near 6000rpm before doing a regular drift followed by an inertia drift, leaving a wide S-shaped tire marks on the asphalt.
The driver, who appeared to be a woman with a mullet hairstyle, chuckled and said "this is awesome. I hope my new GT-R could avenge your loss in the Nürburgring against that GT3-RS. I wonder how it feels like to own...my GT-R"
"-iojo"
"Diojo?"
A faint voice kept getting louder calling her name while she was sleeping on her desk dreaming about her new car muttering "ahh my GT-R" until the voice got louder.
"DIOJO WAKE UP!!!" which startled the soul out of the 25-year-old woman. She yelped and studied her surroundings. She was in her office and the corporate standing in front of her which made her soul leave her body for a brief second
"Lunch time was over half an hour ago you know, secretary DiMauro."
Diojo realized what her mistake was and immediately apologized to the older woman "ah I'm so sorry corporate i promise i won't sleep at work anymore" the corporate adjusted her glasses trying to prevent a wrinkle from forming by her eyebrow frowning and sighed "Seriously diojo when will you stop working overtime? I was about to give you a promotion but now I'm reconsidering it" she then addressed her subordinate's dark eyebags and pale skin "I mean look at your face! You'll die young from exhaustion."
Diojo tried protesting saying with a faint smile "ah don't worry corporate I'm perfectly fine. Anything to pay my older sister's tuition. She's graduating as a heart surgeon this summer! I'll take my rest afterwards!" The corporate sighed again and said "i understand. Pass my encouragement words to her. And for you, your raise will be delayed for the next month and i won't allow you to work overtime until September." Diojo reluctantly nodded and said "Understood, corporate..."
The sound of a keyboard clicking while Diojo was spending her evening playing an online shooting game with Kai to kill time. "Alright I'm covering you. Go for it Kai!!
A female voice seeped from from Diojo's headphones yelling enthusiastically "ALRIGHT DIOJO! LET'S SHOW THEM!" Followed by a few shots and bangs and the victory screen appearing in her monitor.
"YAY WE WON, DIOJO! YOU'RE SO GOOD AT THIS!" kai screamed so loud diojo had to stretch her headphones to prevent damaging her ears "ah so loud" she thought. Being a hunble gamer diojo said "you're giving me too much credit, kai. You're the one who settled the score. I thought we were gonna lose haha."
Kai being super energetic asked "LET'S DO ANOTHER GAME I'M SOO PUMPED UP!!!" Diojo glanced at the clock and said while laughing awkwardly "ahahaha really? I thought we're going to call it a day." Which gave her a pouty whine from kai "whaaaat?? The night just started you know? It's Friday nigh for God's sake..."
"Exactly i have somewhere to go" she replied a bit apologetically which made kai confused "what?! This late? You never struck me as a night club person"
Diojo said unimpressed "you were the one saying the night is still young... and no I'm not going to a night club." She got up and said "hold on I'm turning the pc off I'll switch to phone" she hung up before she let her friend say anything then called her again on her phone
"Alright kai what were you trying to say?" She asked her now annoyed friend who replied "damn so rude you didn't let me finish my question. I was asking if it was a date and with whom?"
Diojo chuckled and said. "It's a secret~~" this peaked kai's curiosity who insisted on knowing who's Diojo's "knight in shining armor." She decided to play along and said "well it's someone I've been dreaming about for a long time and they're finally mine before it was too late" she then hummed while picking an outfit from the closet.
Kai was at 1st excided and then she remembered something diojo said a while ago and asked "Wait didn't you say you'll remain single forever? What happened to the 'strong independent woman' you were boasting about?"
This popped a vein out of Diojo's jaw and she snapped "WHY WOULD I TELL YOU ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF MY LIFE? I'M A GODDAMN ADULT!" Which made kai pout "oh diojo you meaniee~~" but she then started giggling "i bet you're excited to meet your knight in shining armor right?"Diojo, being even more unimpressed she just said "yeah right get lost now"
"Well i don't need to know who just tell me how it went next monday okay? Promise me?" Kai insisted. Diojo had enough of her friend's antics and thought out loud "ugh so persistent I'm hanging up now" and before kai could say a thing the call ended.
Diojo sighed in frustration and relief that the pointless call ended. "Yea knight in shining armor my ass. Why would i waste my precious time fooling around? I'm fine by myself and my family." She grabbed her jacket and wore it after a slight "hmph"
"Although" she went to grab her keys smiling cheek to cheek "you could say I'm so excited my heart could burst at any given moment." She opened the door and locked it, staring at her beamer that was technically a part of the family "don't worry E34, I'll still take you drifting from time to time and take care of you" and had a slight sad smile before she looked a way and went to stop a taxi.
"Thank you sir. Have a good evening" she thanked the taxi driver who drove away afterwards. She inhaled the air and thought "today was a day that a dream finally coming true. The full moon in the starry sky. The summer breeze brushing my cheeks. Everything gave me goosebumps"
She walked for 2 minutes until she reached her destination. She opened her arms and said filled with excitement "I'm finally here to pick you up, my darling!!" She walked towards the door of the Nissan dealership saying "Nothing beats a call from the dealership saying your car is finally ready to drive. The last gas-powered nissan to be imported here is mine!"
She opened the door with sheer determination and sniffed the air around it "ah even the smell is awesome!!" She was in her little world until an attendant interrupted her saying "hello miss how can i help you?"
This snapped diojo off of her daydream and Diojo's brain automatically turned the social dork mode on. "Uhmmm welll... i-i asked about the..." the attendant immediately caught on and said smiling "ohhh you're that stuttering tomboy from last month who asked for a Nismo GT-R!"
Diojo was caught off guard by what the slightly chubby employee said "ah.. stuttering tomboy??" She thought. "Mhm yeah i bought an r35 Nismo GT-R and asked for it to be registered."
The girl smiled and said "yes i remember. Since the r35 GT-Rs were sold out you asked for one to be imported from japan right? Can you please follow me?" Diojo nodded and followed her.
"Alright and here's the registration, insurance and keys. The car is in the warehouse behind this showroom under this number. You're one lucky customer to purchase the last gas powered Japanese supercar to be sold here. Even the altimas were sold out last week. Anyway enjoy your ride~" she said while handing out the papers to diojo then waved to her smiling. Diojo returned the smile and waved back "thanks a lot ma'am." Then they parted ways.
Diojo walked through the warehouse looking for the number through all the big SUVs "what a nice lady... anyways number A86... A86... and it should be..." she looked up and paused in awe to what she was looking at "...here" she trailed off.
Unlike what kai believed. Diojo didn't go look for the knight in shining armor. Because sometimes the horse outshines the knight. She gazed at her GT-R, which she was quite in denial that was hers. It looked so beautiful. "So this is my GT-R?... so gorgeous!!"
She unlocked the car and got in, admiring the interior as well "Whoa I'm holding the steering wheel of the last Godzilla to be produced... LET'S START HER UP!!!" she pushed the start engine button and the engine roared to life with a deep growl "oh hell yeah that's how i like it! I'll keep you till the day i die. Never in my life will i buy a soulless glorified electric golf cart." She gave it a few revs to warm up the engine then she took off to her favorite practice street before going home.
"The acceleration is so satisfying and shifts are so smooth when it's on Drive mode. Let's try the paddles now." She shifted the knob to S and pressed on the paddles. She downshifted to 2nd gear using them and tried a little power slide " i think i got used to them faster than i thought. So awesome!! As expected of a Japanese supercar! No i doubt supercars could corner like this unless it's a porsche 911." The S curves came into her vision and she decided not to do anything funny. "Amazing entry speed! These tires love to grip the asphalt a lot."
◤◢◤◢◤ Monday ◢◤◢◤◢
"Good morning everyone" diojo greeted while entering the office. "DIOOOOOJOOOOO" someone came running towards her and tightly hugged her before she could react. "So how's my rizzler friend doing?? Can't wait to hear the tea!!!" Kai said after squeezing diojo in her arms
Confusion was written all over Diojo's face and she asked "are you speaking in riddles. What are you talking about?? WHAT-" Before she could finish the entire department swarmed towards her asking about the "guy" she went on a "date" with.
Diojo couldn't take it anymore and snapped "HEY LET GO OF ME!" she protested going towards kai "THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE KAI? DID YOU TELL THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT?"
Kai shrugged and said "why shouldn't I? You getting laid should be a national day. You're no longer gonna die a virgin hihihi." This irked diojo so badly she yelled "THE ONE WHO'S DYING A VIRGIN IS YOU BECAUSE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" Kai did nothing but giggle.
She then addressed herself to the rest of the department who was getting loud by chatter "okay will you guys listen to me now?" The crowd calmed down and diojo continued "i told kai i was going on a date as a joke and she took it too seriously and spread some baseless rumors around the department"
She then pointed at kai. "You of all people should know what I'm talking about!" Kai was confused and protested "whaat? What did you mean by that?" The corporate entered trying to calm everyone and instructed them to go back to their desks. Diojo thanked her then grabbed kai's hand and excused herself and left.
"What will you do to me diojo? I don't wanna die young!" Kai whined while going down the staircase to the parking lot "shut up! Maybe if you understood the situation better your lifespan could've been longer."
"Will you kill me in the parking lot?" Kai protested while tearing up
"WILL YOU STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS FOR A DAMN SECOND? ugh seriously this is why i didn't want to tell you..."
She opened the back door to the parking and went towards her new car. "See? This is what i was referring to when i said I'm going out. Get it now?" Being the romance diehard she is kai was fascinated "whoa he bought you that expensive car already? You're getting married?"
Diojo was done, she facepalmed "ARE YOU THAT DUMB?? THAT DATE THING WAS A JOKE" she crossed her arms and said "i don't need a man to financially aid me. I bought this GT-R myself after years of investing, side hustling and working overtime to save up for it... my god i have a headache."
She was interrupted by sniffling. She turned her head to see kai crying "I'M SORRY DIOJO I JUMPED TO CONCLUSIONS AND HURT YOUR FEELINGS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"
Diojo sighed and said "sheesh girl I'm the one who should apologize for snapping out. Plus I'm joking as well i don't want to stain my records anyway. Just don't do it anymore-" *RING* she was interrupted by her phone ringing "it's Marilyn." She picked up the phone and said "hi Marilyn how are you"
"Help us.... HELP US DIOJO MOM WAS SHOT. COME HERE RIGHT NOW...PLEASE"
