Lucas had been taught while
working with Abel to keep everything in order when taking an engine apart. Some parts are hard to replace, especially
small things like special screws and bolts.
Marley had given him a spot
in the shop where Lucas could dismantle the bike and he took everything apart. Marley stopped by and checked the engine and
saw it was rebuild able.
They sat down and made a list
of everything they needed including a new buddy seat, “In case you want to give
the girls a ride.”
That embarrassed Lucas and he
said, “That will never happen.”
Marley said, “You want to
bet?”
While waiting for the motor
parts, cables and other necessary things, Marley told Lucas to get started on
the frame. He had to remove the paint
and check the frame for cracks.
When he was finished he took
the frame to the paint booth and left it there. as Marley wanted to use the
same paint the factory used so the bike would look like it was just from the
factory.
It took a few days for all
the parts to arrive, so they raised the back wheel off the floor so Lucas could
practice shifting gears on the other motorcycle because that was the most difficult part of
learning to ride.
Lucas heard that Abel had
asked Sara to marry him and she accepted. He went over and congratulated him and asked
him what made him decide to do that.
He said, “I guess I fell in
love again and it seemed the right thing to do.”
Lucas asked, “How are you
going to like being a father?”
“Okay, I think for I am very
fond of her already. By the way she is
going to stay at your house while we are on a honeymoon and you can get to know
her yourself.
Your mom said she would like to have a girl
around the house for a while. Her mother
calls her Missy so that is what I will call her.
While I am gone Mason will be
watching the place here and maybe you can drop in and check with him if that's
okay with you.”
Lucas said, “I'll do it and
if some one needs some minor thing done I will help Mason with it.”
The wedding was on Saturday
which was a busy day for Lucas but he managed to set aside all the things he
would normally do. He couldn't get to
the track for there was too much going on.
Abel asked Lucas to be the best man and he wasn't sure what he had to do but said he would do it.

They told him he would have
to dance with her and he said, “Nix on that, that's where I draw the line.”
When it came time for the
dancing to begin he grabbed a girl who lived down the street and started to
dance with her.
The aunt had a streak of
mischief in her for she knew what he was going through and she came over and
told the girl Lucas was dancing with.
“I'm cutting in Honey,” and began to dance with Lucas. She said, “If it's alright with you I will
lead for I don't follow very well.”
Thankfully the song was
almost over and she released him because she had enough fun at his expense.
The girl Rita he had been
dancing with came over and said, “Let's get some cake and punch.” Lucas felt
relieved at that suggestion and went with her. They spent the rest of the
evening together mostly sitting or dancing.
The time came to close
everything down for the bride and groom had long since left. Since Rita lived
near him he walked her home.
On the way back to his house Lucas thought, “Maybe
there is something to this boy and girl thing.”
