"Look up- holy cow that is awesome..." She noticed the guide red in the face and laughed, patting his back. "You're going to have to keep up dude." She then presumed her beaming in excitement. Not only were they going to be going to the floating dome to race in the competition, but they were going to be given them ones to ride! "You sure we can't stay here?" Ace joked. Though, to Ace, it wouldn't have been a bad idea to live in this city. It looked a lot more fun then back 'home', wherever her home was at the time. It made her think. . . [I]'What city did I stop in before I got to Nowhere...? That's not easy to just forget....'[/I] But, she was forgetting things. It didn't help that she had little to remember that was truly important. Fortunately, it was the little things that she forgot. And as usual, Ace pushed the thought aside.

There were more important matters to attend to! Like getting to the dome- luckily before she had to ask, a flying bus came to view. "First a catbus now a flying bus. Earth you are lagging behind." She hopped on the bus, standing and staring out the window the entire time. "First we went down, now we're going back up!" She leaned out the window a little, just to see the ground, before standing straight again as they neared their stop. "I hope it occurred to everyone that none of us have any type of hover boarding experience." 

She jumped off the bus and laughed. "I know I don't, but I planned to wing it anyway. Heh, don't hurt yourself you two. Hey Ran, will you join too? Or will you help Japh here be our cheer squad?" She grinned and then turned her attention to the Nobody that approached them. All she needed to know was where the equipment was. "Awesome! Thanks lady! Come on you guys, we don't have that much time!" Before she ran off, she unstrapped her hat from her pants loop and handed it to Japhet. "Can you hold this for me while I'm in the race? Thanks!" She pulled the two she could reach, Riley and Toby, right along with her. 

Ace grabbed a black helmet, skipping over the other safety pads before grabbing a black board with... "Aw man, I was hoping there'd be one with fire...Hehe, this one will have to do!" She grabbed the one with a lightning bolt on the bottom of it. "Reminds me of Inadi's cool electro powers, whaddya think?" She grinned, putting a thumbs up to her friends' choices before hurrying off. 

"Whoa, Miss! You've gotta have all the proper equipment to compete. Safety first." Ace groaned a little but hurried and grabbed the extra safety gear. It was such a hassle to add on the 'extra safety'. Besides, in her little world safety would have came around one and a half-ish, not necessarily first. As she always said, at least to herself: 

[I]'You have to get a couple of scars and bruises to learn from.'[/I]

"Alright, go go go!" She ran, holding the hoverboard under her arm. "Hopefully this is like riding a surfboard...." She mumbled to herself as she took a spot in the race. Ace manage to grab a pair of goggles, that she slipped over her eyes.

"You don't know how to ride this, yet you're competing?" Ace turned her head to see who spoke up. Her first reaction was a mere raise of her eyebrow as if saying 'Do you have a problem with that?'. But, seeing the Nobody on her left, she noted that he was...kind of cute. Matter of fact, he kind of reminded her of the boy that zoomed past them on the airship, albeit a little less formal.

"Don't worry, I'm going to learn as I go. It's what I do!" Ace received a laugh from the Nobody, but she was examining the board in her hands. "I'll be fine. They made put safety gear on." Examining, Ace found the button to get the hovering part started. It was right on top, easy reach to tap with her foot. So, she stepped on the board, mimicking everyone else's position. 

"Well, if it helps, you're right. It kind of is like surfing. Just in the air. And it hurts more if you fall."

Ace grinned and then looked over at Riley and Toby, not being too far away from her. She put a thumbs up and called out. "Good luck!" And just to be nice, she said good luck to the Nobody next to her.
