Richard walked into Alex's garage. He saw everyone working and he smiled. 'Man, I could use kids like them in my mechanics shop. Their work ethic is fantastic!' Richard thought. One thing had caught Richards eye, it was Alex's new outfit.

"Woah, I like the new outfit Alex!" Richard said. Alex looked up from the fender he was painting.

"Thanks, I decided it was time to change it up a bit." Alex said.

"I thought you were just goth, seeing as how you would dress in all black." Richard said.

"First off, black is my favorite color. Second, why didn't anyone tell me that I was dressed like a goth person!?" Alex asked. Everyone laughed, with the exception of Alex.

"your metal skull is finished by the way. I used some flexible tubing for a small portion of the tube, just so you wouldn't lose the ability to move the handle bars." Richard said. He looked over to Mise, he was drinking from a metal flask. "That better not be alcohol young man." Richard said. Mise almost choked on his drink.

"What! Pppffff, nooo. It's not alcohol." Mise said, trying to cover it up.

"I'm joking, I know it's alcohol. And although I don't condone underage drinking, I understand that you have a shitty past. So just, Don't let me see you drinking again and I'll over look this incident. Ok?" Richard asked. Mise nodded. Alex's phone buzzed on the table. He picked it up and looked at the screen.

"Who is it?" Soul asked.

"It's Warhawk and Rivet. I asked them to come over and they just texted me back. Warhawk will be here soon, Rivet is bringing Dash with him." Alex said.

"Fantastic! We need more hands for painting." Richard said.

"Not to mention that Alex and Warhawk also have similar tastes in music." Mise said.

"But that means they'll be blasting their music in here." Soul said. Mise took a quick sip of his whiskey when Richard wasn't looking.

"Hey, we'll stay toward the back of the garage ok? It's a big garage so you guys can work without the noise." Alex said. Warhawk pulled up into Alex's drive way, he climbed out of his jeep and walked toward the garage. "Speak of the devil. Sup Warhawk!" Alex said.

"Sup." Warhawk said. Not to long after Warhawk arrived, Rivet and Rainbow dash walked up the driveway. Both their jaws dropped when they saw the large amount of bikes in the garage.

"Dude." Rivet said.

"This is awesome!" Rainbow said. She ran up to the Harley Davidson Breakout. "Can I take it for a ride!?" She asked.

"After we finish painting." Alex said.

"Yes!" She said.

"But only under the condition that you won't scratch or ding anything on it." Alex said. "if you don't mind listening to rock or heavy metal, follow me to the back of the garage, we'll work there." Warhawk and Rainbow followed him to the back. Rivet decided to follow his girlfriend, and ran up to them after taking a moment to think.

"Oh, nice outfit by the way. I thought you were goth there for a second." Warhawk said. Alex said.

"I've been getting that a lot lately. Black is just my favorite color." Alex said. They stopped at a workbench in the back of the finished garage. Rainbow saw the fuel tank of the bike, she was clearly impressed.

"Nice paint job dude! Who painted the chrome skull on it?" Rainbow asked.

"I did, I painted everything on this tank by hand. and there's actually two skulls. One on the right and the left." Alex said.

"That's sick." Rivet said.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm gonna put some music on." He linked a set of speakers to his phone using Bluetooth. The first song that came on was Halestorm's AC/DC cover on Shoot to thrill. The three who actually liked the music started to jam out. Rivet just sort of sat there for a second.

"Um, we gonna work or no?" Rivet asked.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. Just use those airbrushes there to paint the flames on." Alex said, pointing to his airbrushes. Alex picked one up and began to put flames onto the front fender. The others followed shortly after.

"Man, I can't wait to see what this bike is gonna look like. I bet it's going to be so awesome!" Rainbow said.

"Oh um, you guys aren't seeing the finished product until tomorrow." Alex said.

"Why?" Warhawk asked.

"I want it to be a surprise, you'll see me roll up to school on it tomorrow for the big reveal." Alex said.

"Man! I was so excited too!" Rainbow said.

"Hey, relax. you won't have to wait very long to see it." Rivet said. Alejandra walked in and paused the music.

"I know how hard you guys have been working, so I ordered pizza. In other words, come and get it." She said in a cheerful tone. Alex walked up to her.

"Aw, you didn't have to do that." Alex gave her a kiss.

"I know, I just thought it would be nice." Alejandra said.

"Well it was very sweet of you. Oh, and I'd like to introduce you to Mise. I met him yesterday along with Artemis, who isn't here today." Alex said.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Mise." Alejandra said.

"Thank you, it's nice to meet you too." Mise said. He waited for everyone to leave the garage to eat, before taking a huge chug of his whiskey. He hid the flask and walked to join the others.

It was nine o'clock at night, and everyone but Richard had left for the night. Alex applied the clear coat of sealant to the chrome painted skull. He waited a few moments, letting the coat dry. Once it dried, Alex picked up a custom made bracket and a few bolts. He mounted the skull onto the forks, placing it right where the head light should have been. Richard sighed.

"You think they'll like it?" He asked.

"Oh, I think they'll love it." Alex said. He took a few steps back to admire his handy work.

"Alright little bro, I'm gonna hit the hay. See ya tomorrow." He said.

"Yeah, see ya tomorrow." Alex said. He sat there and looked at it for a few moments, he couldn't help but feel like something was missing. He smiled and reached into one of his draws of spare parts. He pulled something out, his smile grew. "This is what it needs." Alex said. Next Chapter: Party!!!! Estimated time remaining: 55 Minutes
