Shitbox Rally 2024 - Journey to Holsia (Completed, Final Stage Released)

Final part

with the 24h in mind I finally wanted to conclude this challenge with a real end, and make kind of a link to the next event.

YAAAAAAAAAAWN! AAARGH! I CAN´T GET USED TO THAT SHIT!

Chanty, you should remember by now that your leg is broken.

I should, I should, I should. Is there anything that isn´t expected from me?

What´s up? You slept bad?

Yes… I had terrible nightmares… can we please get home? I want to hug mama.

Thomas is already ready in the car. Let´s go.

Finally, when driving through the rift, the Primus Legacy for once didn´t cause problems, and in Nevada, the teams said goodbye and seperated. Chanty checked her smartphone.

Argh! 5674 notifications. AAAAAAAAH! This is so stressful. Maybe I should do less online.

Really? I mean, your addiction is lost?

That´s not addiction, dad. IT IS NORMAL FOR PEOPLE MY AGE TO BE ONLINE ALL THE TIME! But I … might reduce it a bit, it feels more a stress to me right now… now, let´s call mamaaaaaa!

Meanwhile, Thomas was on the phone himself, being in visible discomfort.

Dad! Who was this?

Your uncle… it was about grandpa.

Uargh, do we have to visit that grumpy old man again? Your dad hates me, no matter what I do, and I am so scared when he yells at me.

Well, Chanty, I think you don´t have to visit him ever again… it´s a shame we couldn´t make peace with him…

What… do you mean?

Please come aside, let me explain a bit…

Not only was Thomas garage a mess without him present (still, the customers were satisfied, but his staff was at the edge of madness), also his father died at old age - and yes, neither him nor Chanty could find peace with the sternly senior. Even if Chantal hated her grandfather, she still felt sorry for the loss and the words of Thomas, that they never could solve their issues with each other, hit her hard. Jan took the Primus and went to the next fast food restaurant, bringing tons of stuff to cheer up the others.

By hitting her smartphone out of frustration against the broken computer in the IP (Chanty was stealing alcohol from the Hillbilly Rollers fridge), she suddenly activated it… with weird noises and flashing, an UFO appeared and beamed the Rhinos up - so that they didn´t have to organize bringing themselves home. The IP was also beamed up, and Thomas fell into a deep sleep, while Jan studied the alien technology… and Chanty was still deeply depressed about the recent news, and also this challenge was actually way too much for her, with all the adventures, stressful situations and conflicts she had to manage. The aliens tried their best to comfort her, and found a way… their medically advanced UFO had a beam to cure her leg, and even if Chantal did not understand what they did to her, she noticed it later, when the car stood miraculously back in Leipzig in the yard of Thomas garage…

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWN…”

“CHANTY, DON´T STRETCH!”

“But… it doesnt hurt anymore, weird… really weird…”

“Yeah, and your cast is gone… how that?”

"So I am ready for new adventures! YEEEEHAAA!

What would be such an adventure?

Dad, I need some distraction… I want something really extreme again… like the 24h in Sweden…

But, Chanty, last year didn´t do well for you, and…

please?? It would be such an awesome birthday present, aaaaaaand… now I know more people. and… and… COME ON!
