He keeps fishing through to the evening. He continues catching small fish and continues throwing them back. He looks up at the sky smiling.

"May not see the colors all around right now but I think you will agree this whole setting can't hardly be beat."

He smiles at her and watches the sun setting.

As the light dimmed and Ele couldn't see her book well enough anymore, she put it away and dozed until Tyler spoke again. Looking around her, the little cove seemed even more beautiful as the sun set. Getting up, Ele went over to Tyler and took his fishing rod, setting it carefully down.

"Come love on me for a while, the fish will be here tomorrow and the rest of the wekk. I won't be."

She reminded him bringing Tyler to one of the seats and sitting in his lap.

He holds onto her.

"That was what I was intending on doing."

He watches the sun set get brighter and brighter over the lake. Taking half an hour to fully set. After setting the mean shines brightly and gives them enough light to see.

"Full moon, a great night for fishing from the dock."

He says, firing up the turbojet. Coming on the fire illuminates the water showing many fish down below. As he moves to the dock somebody shouts out.

"Dude! Your boats on fire."

Hollering back out he says.

"Not on fire, I have a turbojet engine on this."

He pulls up onto the ramp and shuts the engine off. The guy that called out to him walks over and drags the boat up the dirt covered launch. Tyler climbs out after they are out of the water, helping Ele out.

"Are you that one guy that built the jet boat?"

"Yes I am."

"Man, I have always heard about this thing, never thought I would see it in person."

"Don't get it out that often but my girlfriend here never fished before and she is going back to california for almost a week, leaving tomorrow so I thought I would show her how."

"Sweet, you guys catch anything?"

He chuckles and says.

"Hey hun, show him what you got."

Enjoying cuddling with Tyler, Ele was a little sad when they needed to go back to the dock, but she understood. Plus, they had a race to get to. Grabbing her bag and letting Tyler help her out, Ele was pleasantly surprised when Tyler introduced her to the other guy as his girlfriend.

Blushing, Ele dug around in her bag for a moment then produced the certificate, handing it over to the guy. Stepping closer to Tyler, Ele took his hand and looked down at the wooden dock beneath her feet, going shy again.

The guy takes the certificate and reads it his eyes growing wider and wider.

"First time out and you caught a 60 pound lake trout?!"

He reads it over multiple times.

"Congratulations. That is gonna be a good bit of money."

"Money, what do you mean?"

"Didn't you know? 2014 they started giving out cash prizes for record sized fish. She should be receiving $2,500 for that fish."

"The DNR is doing that?"

"No, the ones that track the actual catches and everything. DNR verifies everything but they work with an independent firm that tracks it all. They do the cash prizes and trophies."

Tyler looks at Ele.

"Guess you have that to look forward to next week."

Ele's eyes went wide when the guy mentioned the cash prize for her catch. $2500 would certainly help both her and Tyler recoup some losses from breaking Ele's lease and moving her things.

Thanking the guys when he handed her back her certificate, Ele looked up at Tyler,

"You didn't know about that?"

"No I didn't. I almost always catch small to average fish and only went fishing once back in 2014 during the free fishing weekend."

The guy says.

"Not a lot of people know about it, I only know about it cuz my brother in law works for the company that does it. But yeah, just be on the lookout. Have a good night though, I have a little late night get together to get to."

"Over on dockside?"

Tyler asks. The guy stops.

"Dude, are you going to that?"

"Yes I am. That Camaro over there."

He just nods. The other guy smirks.

"See you there then."

The guy walks over to his truck with a large pontoon behind it and takes off, the truck thumping like something is wrong with it.

Ele watched the guy go, and even she could tell the truck was making a funny noise,

"Why does it sound like that?"

She asked, putting her certificate away again.

"It is a 2,250 horsepower engine with no power adders, he has a 500 shot of nitrous on top of it. Biggest V8 you can actually get, 1,005 cubic inches."

He licks his lips.

"Truck gets moving but it is like 3 times the weight of the camaro too."

He laughs.

"So... Big and powerful, but heavy and hard to move?"

"Exactly. My car is 3,300 horsepower and weighs 2,600 pounds. That truck is 2,750 horsepower and 7,500 pounds."

He laughs.

"I should take him down but if I lose traction he can take me down."

He says bringing the boat up to the trailer and loads it up pretty quickly.

"Alright, let's go. I have a place that I can stash this trailer at but it is a little bit of a drive from here."

He chains the boat down and looks at Ele with a smile.

"Everything around here is quite a bit away from everything else!"

Ele laughed, going to her side of the car,

"Even though California is the bigger state, there's a lot more space out here."

"You are either surrounded by tree's, water or wide open spaces."

He smiles and climbs into the car around the cage and sits down. Waiting until she was inside to take off he drives a couple miles before going down a side road that turns into a driveway. He drives through a small piece of land with multiple homes and drops his trailer off at the last house that overlooks the lake. He turns around and drives back out heading to the race spot which is filled with lots of vehicles that look like pure race cars.

"Here we go. Vale and the girls should be here, you can hang with the girls."

He says smirking at her.

"And where will you be?"

She asked, playing with Tyler's sweatshirt in her lap. It would swamp her, but Ele was more concerned with being warm than fashionable tonight.

"I will just be racing up the list, so will Vale."

He says with a smile.

"If anybody has the skills and power to beat me, Vale is the one."

"Okay, so Amber. Terri, and I will just be hanging out and watching? Cool!"

Ele smiled.

"Yeah, tonight is a race night for list racers, I dropped off the list last year so I gotta start over but at 9th is Vale. I am gonna let him get his list races in then I will start following him up. By the end of the night him and I should be number 1 and 2, hard to determine who will be which but I guarantee that you will get a show of epic proportions."

He laughs and drives up, finally finding Vale's car. A 1957 Chevy Corvette Convertible in bright red paint and an even more amazing shade of blue on the interior. The car looks almost completely stock except for the massive slicks almost hidden on the back end.

"That,"

Ele said, looking at Vale's car,

"Is a very colorful car."

When Tyler parked, Ele unbuckled herself and climbed out or the Camaro before tying the sweatshirt around her waist. Going to Tyler's side, she waited for him.

"Yeah, that is a factory color combination. The car has been restored but that is what the car came with from the factory."

He smiles and hops out of the car walking around to her. He looks at her and says.

"If you go behind the car and look underneath and look at the tires, you will be amazed how fat of a tire he really has."

Tyler gets in the trunk of the camaro grabbing out a tool. He walks over to one tire and starts deflating the tire. As the tire start to flatten he stops, checking to see the pressure. He walks over to the other side doing the process over again in the same manner.

Watching Tyler, Ele tipped her head to the side and raised an eyebrow,

"Better surface area?"
