Sunset swore loudly as the she picked herself up off the ground, lifting her fallen bike with ease. Well, that was a good start to the getting. At least almost getting hit by a truck, getting run off the road, and winding up in a ditch woke her up.
Making her way to the side, she checked herself and her bike to make sure she hadn’t lost anything important, and hopped back on, sticking the key in the ignition, pressed down on the clutch and twisted. Only for it not to start. “What?!” She cried. “No! No, no, no, no, no!! Don’t do this to me now baby, please!” She twisted it a few more times before letting out a curse so loud birds flew off of nearby trees.
She gave one last, hard kick to the clutch, and at long last, the engine sputtered to life. She let out a shout of joy, and pulled her slowly back onto the road, sputtering all the way. “Don’t worry baby, I’ll get you all fixed up.” She said, patting her bike. “Somehow…”
Eventually, she spotted a sign directing her to a nearby town, and she internal shouted in joy. Though as she pulled into the next exit to head in, she noticed a small figure in the distance, seemingly waving her down. Curious, she pulled over to the side, not shutting off her bike. If this girl was gonna waste her time, then she didn’t wanna deal with having to struggle to start her bike.
As the biker grew closer and slowed down, Hana sighed out a sigh of relief. Once the bike came to a stop, Hana took a look at the bike; it was pretty beat up. “I’m not gonna ask what happened to you and this bike because that’s probably a long story, but I will tell you that unless you let me fix up this bike, you’re not making it to town.” Hana explained, brown eyes glancing over the bike.
“This is a really nice bike. Let me fix it up for you. I’m pretty handy with tools, and I was working on my own bike just a few minutes ago.” She said. “I also got a first aid kit you can use for yourself while I work.”
“Look, I appreciate the gesture, but I don’t have any cash on me, and I won’t be able to get any until I get to the next town.” Sunset said, still not taking off her helmet.
“And thanks for the offer, but I’ll be alright. I don’t need the kit.”
