Now, to see if this machine really was as much like a motorcycle as she thought it was. Tonks was right on top of her, with Gwen just about there, and Vaarsuvius coming up on their rear. Haruka gunned her engine in sync with Tonks, but kept going fast for a second or so longer than the other woman, sending a wave of water spraying up and out as she turned. Fortunately, she was on the outside at the moment, so it wouldn't douse her competitors. That would be unfair. She slowed down as she went through the arc of the curve, using her natural sense of balance to keep from pitching over as the jet-ski tilted at an angle with the water through the curve. As she straightened out, she gunned the engine again, shooting forward with a shout of joy. These things really were fun. She glanced back to see where the others were, hoping they were still right on her tail. She hadn't had this close a competition in ages, and it was quite a rush.
