Ever since this year started, I've been combing my mind to find out which kinds of activities would be most enjoyable for two telepaths to enjoy simultaneously. Before the last summer of this year, I managed to have some fun with Lumina at the arcade center, but ever since then, I've been longing for more.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KT89kZLg6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHgtIdVlf3
My list of ideas is still fairly short, but today I've planned for something interesting. I got the idea from the last time I was at Six Flags. I never went back there with Lumina despite what fun we did have, mainly for the reason that the rides were rough enough to start a headache from whiplash. When I was on those rides however, Lumina felt every jerk and tug of direction change the rides made on their tracks, and I've realized why.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT38ENCj5V
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOBlecR01b
I may be repeating this, but it's important to keep in mind one of the many rules of physical sensation as it shares through telepathy. Aside from touch, even strong enough inertia or change in acceleration and gravity can be felt through our psionic link. In addition to this, Lumina has taken up a strange interest in the mechanics and design specs of automobiles, mainly race cars.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxafhTkTTxp
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalQEbbbl3R
So, I brought her here today, at the Mountasia Fun Center, known as the place of an outdoor Go-Kart facility. Despite the cold air outside, this place still attracts quite a crowd, a crowd of those who linger in the arcade center, and a crowd of legitimate Go-Kart racers!62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq86RT7usN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvIKtlsrRW
I don't care if it sounds cheesy to some. I don't have a driver's license just yet, and even if I did, street racing is both illegal and too dangerous for my taste. In a Go-Kart race however, the event is fairly safe. What I have in store for Lumina will bring out the best in both of us today, I'm sure of it.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw35QFnaptB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIzKHoqMUD
"One ticket for the races please." I handed the exchange of cash for the ticket I would need to join up with the other Go-Karts, standing confidently since I didn't have anybody else here to spoil the moment. Coming here by myself with an Uber and calling Lumina afterwards was a good idea, because now it's just the two of us.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIezK31am2b
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcuSEq0VfK
"Sure thing pal. It's only good for one race though. No sharing passengers is allowed unless you buy the couple's ticket."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8904klnWmb
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5zEoeU4sr
Nodding in agreement to my anticipation, Lumina finally sounded off at how close at hand our race would be. "It's nice to get the discount on a couple's ticket, eh Reed?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgO2eikXLE
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3XTMWKvsO
"You make it sound like I'm smuggling my girlfriend inside... Wait."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5g1is9Xgq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOaT42DiX8
"That's because you are, goof. You can brag about it to your friends if you think it will make you look cool."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33p8LLOpjM
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETIz05srPe
A cool statement by Lumina indeed. Too bad I have no friends to brag to this about in the first place. I didn't bother saying it though, since we had a mood to keep up with.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBR1C0TwYP
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmAvsFKlKR
Once I made it out to the tracks, it was quite an amazing sight to see how much room and space we would be getting. Despite the guard-walls to keep the cars in, I took a quick guess that these Go-Karts would be quick enough. Having the 40oN air blast through my face would be mildly annoying, but I relied on this air temperature to keep Lumina here with all senses intact.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrUwAxUu9C
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvZatfZXR8
"You sure about this Reed? I mean, this defiantly looks like it could be fun, but is it safe?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wSlzzivcd

"Wait, you have?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKyKHn2PEb
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hPgzb47Dt
"Yeah, when I was ten." Despite making it sound like this was a child's sport, I clearly recalled coming here in the distant past. My father took me to these tracks then. So, I know how to drive a Go-Kart, plus it's safe.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxWqG7p7Qf
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhlR8p1FgR
"Looks like this skinny boy is joining in."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSu537nizr
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKrIv5dZwt
"Is he talking to you?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13O2d5aare
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMrEX9LsCu
Lumina should know by now how these antics work. "Of course the punk is talking to me. It's still a race after all. There's bound to be a rivalry." "Eh, you won't sound too tough when I smoke you one on one."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcnXwK9bea
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtaNm40V1F
"Well see about that." Eye to eye, myself and this stranger glared at each other with squinted eyes, as if it were a duel moment of a popular anime universe. Afterwards, I chose a good kart to start with, strapping myself in with a bit of a wait.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hnr53Wc7K
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLZNssr2zd
As I did, some middle-age man called out to us, "You all get ten minutes around the tracks or ten laps. No bumping and slamming other cars into the walls. If I see what looks like foul play, I'll stop every kart at once and the offenders will be banned. First car to make ten laps will be the winner."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImXd35OSjH
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ080JvWRY9
"Any idea what the prize is Reed?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwAnZY7CTl
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ixCrKL8rb
"First place Lumina. The prize is the satisfaction of winning, and also beating these cocky punks."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2R5Gqebv5

"You make it sound like it's a real stadium race."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXgxY1OW5F
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXZgetEhj
"Get ready for a ride Lumina! The countdown has already started, and once that light goes green, I'm going to take off pretty fast. So hang on to your hat."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8wfeC3ObV
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa6wZJ7l69

Before she could finish the thought, I slammed my foot against the gas pedal as the lights in front turned green, opening the gate and letting all racers accelerate forward. Lumina's voice shifted into an unexpected holler of surprise. The sudden pushback of inertia shoving me to the back of the seat wasn't something Lumina expected to feel at full volume as well.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCQnjKFOiT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVJITDyJwS
"Holy crap! It's faster than I thought it would be!" Lumina was either panicking or fully alert to the new situation I put her in, and she got to visually trace the track with my eyes through all the sudden twists and turns.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ6Xjws7m9
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOmqdBAQ1v
"Get used to it!" It was hard to hear each other's thoughts over the sounds of the karts, but we wouldn't need to anymore. Everything I was hoping for was already unfolding before us. Just as I expected, Lumina was accompanying me on the ride of her life, for all the changes in direction and acceleration pulses threw her around without physically affecting her body. Just as quickly, I heard her initial screams transform into cackling laughter as her eyes dilated with my own. Her instant enjoyment to this track gave me the courage to keep going as fast as I could.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aKn9IWxH0
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11g0MtzG9z
Because of how lightweight the Go-Karts were, steering them was too easy, though bumping into the edges of the wall was also not hard to do. Since it had been a while, I wasn't perfect at evading random collisions in the beginning, but after a few more racers got ahead of me, I only became motivated to try harder to speed up. My motivation to win was still secondary to ensuring Lumina was maxing herself out on the enjoyment. Meanwhile, I had to ignore the fact that my face and hands were becoming numb to the freezing cold air around us.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOwJcUSdLI
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIqWeqoy2a
"Just watch this!" Signaling Lumina to pay attention, I warned her before executing an awesome move I learned to master by playing endless hours of Forza Simulations. Right as I got to a difficult turn, I turned the steering wheel hard to the left, and waited to the perfect moment to go right from the winding path ahead of us. Had this been anything but a Go-Kart, I probably would have drifted right on this curve, but the design of the machine made this impossible. Even so, despite what we thought was possible, my kart did in fact drift to the left ever so slightly before making the next curve, while the timing I placed in worked out perfectly to excel me forward without having to break more than ten percent.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hltn9e3HN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhiIJK7z6p
The results were impressive even to myself, as I had passed by the two karts who got in front of me earlier. It wasn't an easy maneuver to pull off, but I managed to put myself in second place while keeping my best speed so far, Lumina still cheering me on in the background with her excited pitch.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJxGcgnos
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnexjJtLunn
Lumina has better reaction times and reflexes than I do by default, but when I'm on the road with a vehicle, this isn't the case. All of the simulation practices I've done have given me enough experience to perfectly time breaking, steering, and drifting angles. Sure, if I tried this in an actual car, I might mess it up a few times, but out here on this track, I can mess up and not have to pay a big price for it. Having done this once before, I made the calculations I needed to with amazing grace and ease. This was probably the reason why Lumina was instantly impressed.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0npNJw4Ix
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HeisPkqOE
"You're amazing at this Reed! Go and kick their butts!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpcIgxZw7t
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzevey68OVU
"You don't need to tell me." I'm still in second place, though there are still nine more laps to go. A lot can change in that amount of time, but I know I have what it takes to catch up and win. All I have to do here is be patient and make zero mistakes.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqGGRtx555
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Twaya941h
Of course, when I finally caught up to the second place racer, the situation wasn't as simple as I had hoped it to be. The driver turned out to be the very same punk who insulted me before. While I could care less, him seeing my face pissed him off enough to change the dynamics of the plan. The moment we reached the straight path side by side, the kid beside me shoved his kart into mine, bashing me directly into the rubber wall to the left.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoontoAsDfl
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBpKM1ZPKE
I wasn't expecting the rough play, and the slam my kart did pulled us into an intense spin followed by another, more intense forward slam to the other side of the wall. All I could process was the whiplash this caused myself and Lumina. Safe as this might be, it's still possible to wipe out hard enough to cause a mild head injury, especially when the damage is done intentionally.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlXA4sRL0v
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAcuVw5rKr
Recovering myself quickly, I tried backing up, ignoring the incoming traffic behind me while asking Lumina if she was okay. I was bumped from behind again while asking her, so I had to divide my thoughts well enough to handle driving again while making sure all was okay.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iMQazxkUB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBJnr4HM6M
"That actually hurt Reed. What the hell was that idiot thinking?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxPMkawRML
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGSezUchyd
"I'm sorry about that Lumina."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg68ZEjFkun
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpXrpUNP83
"Forget me. Are you alright after that?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rjfnIFsmQ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1FYs3d25G
"Yeah, I'm fine." No thanks to that punk though. I lost quite a bit of early progress just because he couldn't play by the rules. Considering what I've seen before, the referee must not have seen what happened either, otherwise this race would have been over already from an emergency stop. No, that punk slammed me into a wall and got away with it, or so he thinks. "I can't say the same for that guy once I catch up to him though."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnvZfY734
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWi7ghcAkq
"Don't go looking for trouble. Just focus on getting done without getting banged up again."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNECvt3120
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8V4jhDnYF
"No Lumina. I came out here to have fun with you, and that asshole nearly ruined all of it. I wasn't worried that much about first place before, but this changes everything."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLwBSSrF6i
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGPGynhlop
"You're in fifth place now. Are you sure you can catch up to them with only eight laps to go?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdrQnlvCKr
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUasmZPUQqX
"Tch! Watch me." With my motivations restored, I took charge of the road in front of me instantly, picking up the speed I lost while concentrating as much as I could about the process of saving time and making these turns without any collisions. It was something that took time and several laps, but Lumina was strangely interested to see if I could pull it off.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCm6MAthU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSnvhYaBZD
Even if I can't win this race, I know this will be a fun moment she'll never forget. Even so, I can do better, right here and now by eliminating that cocky smirk off the other racers. I may not be a Go-Kart master or a crazy street racer, but racing on this track is something I just know to do. I'll win this one not for myself, but for Lumina!62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl72lmIF4W
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SiZf0bxIH
"This is some amazing fun Reed! Still, don't get bounced around again."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxiFZMSyrq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPa4w6XIi4
"Noted." She warned me just as I was finally coming up on the offender with two more laps to go. I wasn't slowing down or keeping my distance at all. Once I sped up enough to be in the same position as before, the racer in first took notice, of my kart and my face.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1saXPZluH4
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96BYClPYak
Patience was something I had to enforce strictly on myself, waiting for just the right moment for a straight away. He won't bump me until our karts are neck and neck beside each other, else he'll simply wipe himself out trying to play dirty. At last, the moment we were right beside each other again, as he glanced my way, I prepared my next maneuver, just as he shifted his hands to the steering wheel to the left again.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQQ5qPMrEd
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHWrSX5zEW
Not this time! My foot slammed the breaks in the same instance while I kept my wheel shifted to the right, correcting the slight collision from my front bumper to his rear. As expected, he wasn't expecting me to break so soon in his attempt to throw me off, and he wound up slamming his own kart into the bumper wall instead, allowing me to nick the corner end of his kart, causing him to spin out instead of me. As soon as it was done, I easily passed him with applied gas, leaving him in the dust.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NGaaxJ3UC
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKwVaoRDgC
Not taking any chances of reprisal, I kept going as fast as I could without looking back, certain to go the final lap without running into anybody else. Lumina was already celebrating early.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIwaiWughq

"There are no cops on this road Lumina! Time to finish up!" Swinging around for another sharp turn, I could finally see the others coming up behind me, but it was already too late for them. The amazing race we had was already at its end with myself about to drive past the final finish line. Without any mistakes, I glided my way through the finish without a single kart in front of me. If only there were cheerleaders and confetti the moment they realized I won!62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbDGeGnyOG
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqFW0IUPxe
"You did it Reed! I never doubted you for a moment."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpyj4WSzFq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau8jJhhPhd
"Sure you didn't." Giving my sarcastic tone an exercise, I let myself relax as the karts kept going. The moment I passed the finish line, the system slowed down to half the speed while the gas and breaking controls locked in a fixed setting. This was an intentional design of the system. The moment a winner is realized, all karts enter a cool-down state, allowing any who passed the final lap to loop around slowly for parking purposes later.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzYt8RJ1Ld

"Shouldn't underestimate my racing skills Lumina. Though, if I really taught you all you needed to know about cars and driving, I'm sure you'd learn quick and get better than me somehow."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIh75yYdCc
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtyYGmCSPP
"Probably. But do you even know that much about cars?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzoXbAJMwo
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iGi102T0Z
"No, I know nothing really." I was once again reminded about this fact, that just glancing at a user manual for car parts or engine components puts me to sleep. Meanwhile, the same learning material would make Lumina drool on herself in ecstasy. I don't know why she likes cars this much, but if Lumina had to take on any random job on this planet, engine mechanic would likely be her first and most preferred choice. If she knew how to race on top of that, she'd be unstoppable.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvqyjTLvvu
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTe5K6j7bu
"Can't you teach me more sometime?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72asDI7BOS
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6astrg1aw
"Ugh, it's not that easy, but I'll see what I can do." This must be what it feels like to teach someone something I have no interest in. I'm glad she wants to learn, but she'll have to learn through me since she can't use her clairvoyance powers to find out anymore. Now that I think about it, ever since the purge, Lumina has only been able to learn everything about this world through my senses firsthand, with no other means to figure anything out... Whatever. As long as she had fun on our date, that's all that matters now.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xZnUdwmN9

"But I can't play mini-golf this way."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65FPq0fug7
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhDL1zZQj9
"Oh, right." See what I mean about finding two-player games? It's more difficult in a telepathic situation. Lumina can't just reach out and take control of my body, and she'll see anything I see. It's why open visual board games are the best match we've found so far. Still, I wish she could somehow take up a physical controller next to me. How badly I'd love to play with her this way. "We can still enjoy it though, right?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQVxmlDzb

I don't know if it was because of the intense happiness and serenity in her voice, or from the meaning of her words alone, that kept my heart going. We'd both spoken romantically to each other plenty of times before, yet this time in particular, I couldn't resist the warm feeling as it made me blush. "Then let's enjoy the rest of the moment." It's moments like these where I feel more in love and alive than ever.
