- Well, she's funny, she's beautiful, she's smart, she's just anything a man can want. - Christian said.
- Everyone says that. Why do you really like her?
- I like her smile, I love when she laughs and she always sees the good in people.
- See, the world needs more people like her, I bet she's a great person.
After more banter, Lucy went back to her place and passed out on her bed in her cowboy hat.
The morning was tough. Lucy felt terrible waking up - she wanted to die on the spot. After three full glasses of water, she got dressed and went out to the track.
- Well, you surely had fun. - Marshall chuckled.
- Shouldn't you be scolding me right about now?
- No, I think you hold your own responsibilities. I don't care what you do for fun, I care what you do on the track. I like your haircut.
- Thanks, thankfully I don't regret it yet.
- Race in two hours, get ready until then.
- Yeah, just give me a couple of minutes.
- ...You have two hours, I just told you.
Lucy drank some water and tried getting back on her feet, she saw that Christian was getting scolded a couple of pits further. After a quick laugh, she pulled herself together, ignoring her raging headache.
Ten minutes before the race, Lucy wanted to talk to Christian but saw someone was still talking to him.
- Christian, get a grip if you don't win this, you're getting dropped next season.
- I'll win this, don't worry about it.
Lucy just walked away as nothing had happened. As the race started, she noticed how much harder Christian was trying. That time he was everything he never was - he was aggressive, fast, and forceful on the track.
A couple of hours in Lucy kept getting close to Christian but couldn't catch him, which made her just a little annoyed. Her coming in second left her even more annoyed, but also happy that Christian wouldn't get dropped.
- So that's it? I can't get first anymore? - Lucy got out.
- That's not quite right, - Howard came up, - we never intended for Christian to win and since Elliot came third with Xander coming in at fourth, you can still win. In the next race, you have to come first, Elliot has to come second and Xander has to come third - that's the situation that would be the best for us.
- How am I supposed to push them into the right spots?
- I'm not sure, we might need a little luck.
