Vlad was sitting in Skyes car checking all parameters, but something else was flooding in his mind: Skye broke up with Chase and will give him no mercy if not in qualifying, then in race. Greg noticed this and decided to have a little chat.

Greg: Still thinking about clash?

Vlad: Yeah. Skye got really angry when I mentioned his name.

Greg: This got even worse than I expected.

Vlad: I think so too.

Then Valeria and Ryan appeared.

Vlad: Why you are not in your garages?

Ryan: We were thinking about this "love" problem. Maybe we should try to reuniteb them?

Valeria: It's quite impossible. If we want to do it, they need to win the title "together".

Greg: Do you mean, equal points after final race and equal amount of winds and 2nd places?!

Vlad: Yes she does man.

Suddenly Skye interrupted them. Suprisingly she had a happy face.

Skye: Are we going to track? It's time to start!

Greg: Yeah, you're right. Good luck guys!

Ryan: Good luck man!

Skye: Is my car ready?

Vlad: Yeah. Let's go.

Skye got in and turned on the engine. Then she drove from the garage, but the most important thing was: she didn't hear the conversation.

Andrew: Ok, Skye went first, go after her.

Marshall: Ok.

Jimmy: We need to go buddy.

Rocky: Copy.

Ryan: We will go behind Chase. Wait for him.

Rubble: No problem.

Kevin: Go behind Rocky and try to stay closer to Marshall. He's faster in corners than Rocky.

Everest: Understood.

Ricardo: We will drive later than others. 

Tracker: Got it.

Valeria: Are you ready Chase?

Chase: Yeah. Let's do this.

Pups exited pit-lane and did few laps to find a good trajectory in bankings. Knowing that Chase took pole in Texas by going first, Skye decided to do the same. Marshall came closer to Skye as he could and Everest decided to heat tyres by overtaking Rocky, which was successful.

Marshall: What is she doing?

Chase.E: It looks like she wants to use your slipstream. Be carefull.

Chase was feeling quite unconfident as before and Rubble noticed this.

Rubble: Chase is going really slow. What should I do?

Ryan: Is he really going slow? Ah, I see. Well, overtake him. We don't need to lose time.

Greg: Chase is going somewhy slower than before.

Skye: How pathetic.

Greg (serious): Be respectful with other drivers, even he's your former boyfriend.

3 minutes later all pups did their 3 hot laps, since track length and time for qualifying were much bigger. Top-8 after first try.

1. Skye
2. Marshall
3. Zuma
4. Everest
5. Rocky
6. Rubble
7. Chase
8. Tracker

Skye: Didn't even feel tiredness.

Vlad: It was a really nice time. Good job.

Chase.E: Nice one buddy.

Marshall: I need to improve this. Just 0.2 seconds to P1, come on!

Zuma: It was a good try.

Leo: Sorry for awarning you at last moment. No focus on Chase at qualifying just in race. That's and instruction.

Everest: It really worked.

Kevin: Good! Keep going.

Rocky: He's too fast guys. I can't stay close to him.

Maria: Copy. We will do something.

Rubble: Not good.

Tony: I know. Let's try something different.

Matt: What's wrong with you? You're massively slow.

Chase: Don't put pressure on me!

Tracker: Completely failed. Sorry.

Denny: Focus on keeping high speed in bankings. It's more important than speed on starights.

When 4 minutes left to the end of session, Chase was so disappointed after his first try, that he decided to go first. Even words from Matt didn't help him to stay in garage.

Valeria: It's after break up. Give him time.

Matt: I think you're right.

Skye noticed that Chase is coming and decided to go behind him.

Skye: We need to go! Chase is exiting the pit-lane.

Vlad: It's your call. Be gentle with him. I mean, don't crash into him.

Skye (sigh annoyingly): Okay.

Zuma: I'm going to help Chase. Skye went behind him.

Leo: Copy. Good luck.

Andrew: Go behind Zuma! 

Marshall: Got it.

Tracker: Let's try to stay behind Marshall. Maybe it will help.

Ricardo: Ok. Careful out there.

Jimmy: Go, go, go!

Rocky: got it.

Denny: Go now! No time to lose!

Tracker: Ok!

Everest: Are we going or not?

Kevin: Let's leave space for ourselves. I know what we are doing.

They drove on track for last try to improve their lap.Chase noticed that SKye is coming and drove so fast that Skye couldn't catch him. Zuma fought with Marshall and Everest tried to save her previsional P4 staying behind of all pups. Unexpectedtly Chase and Skye went across the line untill end of session and went for one last hot lap. Chase trying to escape from Skye, set a fastest lap of session. Top-8 at the end of qualifying.

1. Chase
2. Skye
3. Marshall
4. Everest
5. Zuma
6. Rubble
7. Rocky
8. Tracker

Matt: That's what I'm talking about!!! Yes!!

Chase: Am I on pole?!

Valeria: Yes you are!!

Skye: He's sooo lucky!!

Vlad: Yup. P2.

Chase.E: You saved it. P3. Chase took pole.

Marshall: Nice! And cheers Chase!

Everest: We did it! P4!!

Logan: Good work!

Cyle: P5 mate. Not our day.

Zuma: Yup. Let's focus on tomorrow.

Tony: P6 man.

Rubble: Not a result as I expected.

Maria: P7.

Rocky: Maan, it was soo bad.

Denny: P8.

Tracker: No comments guys. But I think it's time to be a king of breakthroughes.

Denny: Haha, I know you can. Good motivation amigo!

Pups returned to their garages and congratulated for Top-3. The main race was incoming, so they just went to sleep.
