木漏れ日 [ Lex ]

Okay, so today was the day. Lexington stood outside of his garage with the door wide open, hands covered in oil and various fluids. He walked over to his red toolbox and picked up a small white cylindrical container, when he opened it up there was a powdery green substance, he rubbed his hands with the workman's powder and slowly the oil and grime began to separate from his fingers. He closed the container and tossed it back into the red toolbox. Our friend had just finished rebuilding his Honda CR500 2-stroke motor and he tweaked the gear ratio allowing the bike to reach close to 135 mph, after having nearly trashed it fighting Christmas time monsters earlier in the month. "Alrighty, lets test this baby out" Lexington was already prepped to go riding, he was already wearing his riding boots, pants and jacket. The jacket was white with a Red Bull emblem in the middle, Pants were also white with a dark blue stripe going down each lateral side of the legs. Boots were simply black and shin high. The only thing he was missing was a helmet, which was sitting on the handlebar. Lexington picked up his toolbox and placed it underneath his workbench. He hopped on the Honda and kickstarted it, he brought his left hand up to the gas meter and tapped it, with his right hand he reached over to the workbench next to him and strapped his GoPro onto his helmet. "Alrighty, full tank of gas, lets go riding!" He kicked the kickstand from underneath the bike and began to coast towards the garage opening, quickly reaching down on his way out, Lexington grabbed his jerry can filled with gasoline and then he pressed the garage door button so it would close. Off he rode, towards the forest with a loud Braaaaap. He took off going roughly 50 mph.

By the time the Pillar reached the forest, Lexington had accrued a small following, about seven cops were on his tail since, well, you can't ride a dirt bike like his out on the street as recklessly as he was. His jerry can was already strapped onto the the left rear panel of the bike in case he needed to refuel. With no map and only his phone to rely on to get back, Lexington went off adventuring into the boonies of Catskill. Quickly he began to sing as he hit the bike trail, it was a thin dusty trail and only a dirtbike or mountain bike could really maneuver. Leaving the One-time in his aftermath of dust and flung mud. Lexington hit the woops and took off deeper into the forest. "Heigh ho, heigh ho, its off to work I go, heigh ho."

After about 25 minutes of incredibly loud and powerful riding. Lexington came to a small clearing, quickly he peeked in his side rearview to see if he was still being followed and surely he was not. When you're going as fast as Lex was and you stick yourself deep into the forest. The law can't do nothin. Anyways back to what I was saying. Lexington hit the throttle about two times and it gave loud positive feedback. "It's a good thing ma showed me how to work these motors." He said as he slowly began to ride around the clearing, quickly he noticed a girl sitting down. She appeared to be down on her luck, or she was straight out of one of those horror movies. Lexington now had several options running through his head. "Okay... Either A, this lady is straight out of one of those horror movies and the second I talk to her imma get my stomach eaten. B, this chick is down on her luck and is out here sulking. C, maybe I should just leave and pretend I never saw her... although I am staring right at her through my tinted goggles... Or D, I'm overthinking this waaay too much" Lexington sat there on his bike as it continued to idle and his mind continued to filter solutions. "Hmm what to do... what to do.." He said as he brought his left hand up from his handlebar and began to tap on his chin with his left index finger. "Oh! I know" Lexington walked the bike a wee bit closer to the lady and tried to get a good look at her face. "She seems kinda familiar and forest romance aint that bad.." Lexington rode closer and parked his bike on top of an ant hill that he obviously didn't see. He switched off the bike and got off of the bike so he could stand near the lady. "So uh... nice day to.. yanno... sit out in the forest..." Lexington said awkwardly as he began to undo the straps on his helmet.
