It was late in the day, the sun was going down, and the land stretched for what seemed like forever. Hana hadn’t realized how late it was, but all she was doing was working on something in this middle-of-nowhere mechanic shop. She had stopped there working on her bike. She was very familiar with motorcycles and how they worked, but her bike needed some R&R.
Standing up from the side of her bike, Hana wiped her forehead and sat at the nearby table. That was when she saw it: another motorcycle, traveling down the street. Something was off though; it was like the engine was stuttering. Springing up to her feet, Hana walked out to the side of the road, hoping the rider would slow down. She needs to fix up that bike or that rider wouldn’t make it to the next city.
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.
