"Welcome race fans to beautiful planet Utapau, world of a thousand sinkholes, this is race 1 of 2 tonight. Any racers finishing tonight will go to planet Bespin for the 3rd to final race of the circuit, i see the racers are approaching the starting line" said Fode
"Todays one to beat is Dud Bolt, anyone who's heard of this racer knows his aggressive driving style and no patience for amateurs" said Beed
The crowd cheered
"I'm surprised Team Lucy hasn't dropped out of the circuit yet, they must really be confident in themselves if they think they can stay alive through another few races" said Beed
lucy flicked some switches in her pod and grabbed the handles
"You ok sis?" asked Kevin
"Yeah, i'm fine for now" said Lucy
"Just relax, only a few more races after this" said Kevin
"Ok" said Kevin
"Racers are starting their energy binders, so that's our cue to say this, let the race begin" said Fode
The starting lights turned on one by one and the racers took off when the third light turned on
"And they're off on the 3rd race of the circuit ladies and gentlemen, let's see if team Lucy can pull off yet another miracle race" said Fode
Lucy drove her pod past the others and into first place. She drove into a dimly lit cave
"I can't see" said Lucy
"You're almost out" said Kevin
Lucy sped out of the cave, but not before 5 racers passed her
"Racers are now entering the business district, it only gets tight from here" said Fode
"Team lucy is falling behind, they gotta keep up if they want to keep the dream alive" said Beed
Lucy maneuvered her pod past buildings and more caves. The racers in front of her did their best to keep her from passing her
"Out of my way dum dums" shouted Lucy
"Never" shouted the racer in front of her
Lucy moved left and right through another cave and jumped in front of her opponent and past a waterfall
"Racers are now approaching some trip wires up ahead" said Beed
Lucy drove right thru 4 wires made of energy beams and the power to her pod started decreasing
"Those wires are shutting down my controls" said Lucy as she hit random buttons
"Loser" shouted Rex Danger
"Nobody calls me a loser" said Lucy angrily
She got power back and sped thru industrial areas of the planet. She raced past droidekas that fired lasers at her
"Oh no, who invited droidekas?" asked Fode
Lucy easily avoided their lasers and got into 3rd place
"How is that little girl beating all of us?" asked a racer angrily
"Racers are now approaching the shopping district, the finish line is not far away" said Fode
Racer dud bolt grabbed things lying in his pod and threw them at Lucys engines.
"Stupid head" said Lucy
She bumped her pod into his and made him crash into a building
"Dud bolt is out and team Lucy takes the lead, she's almost to the finish line" said Fode
Lucy gave her pod one last boost and crossed the finish line
"Team Lucy pulled off another miracle, they're going to Bespin" said Beed
Lucy went to the pits
"Good job sis, one more race tonight and then we can go home" said Kevin
"I'll handle the pod, you go get a shuttle to bespin" said Alvin
Lucy and Kevin ran to a shuttle to planet bespin and sat down next to racer Clegg Holdfast as the shuttle took off
"Well well, if it ain't team Lucy"
"Hello Clegg" said Kevin
"You're doing great out there, i haven't seen a racer good as you since Anakin Skywalker won the Boonta Eve Classic" said Clegg
"That's nice"
Lucy and Kevin yawned
"up past your bedtime huh?" asked Clegg
"Yeah, i'm not used to being up past 11:45 yet" said Lucy
"Hang in there, 1 more race tonight, and then you can sleep" said Clegg
"Ok" said Lucy
"i'm gonna tell you something, i don't care if i win or lose, i just love to race" said Clegg
"So does our mom" said Kevin
"I've noticed how the other racers have been treating you, don't worry about them. I'll see what i can do about them next race" said Clegg
"Thanks" said Lucy
She yawned again
"I'm gonna take a quick nap, wake me when we get there" said Lucy
"Sure thing kid" said Clegg
(10 minutes later)
"Welcome race fans to beautiful planet Bespin. We are now making our final approach on Cloud city where the final race of the night will be held. It's a perfect night here in the clouds, and Team Lucy is the fan favorite this race, can they keep their winning streak alive?" asked Fode
The shuttles and pods landed and pods were rushed to the starting line. Lucy put on her goggles, helmet and gloves and stepped into her pod
"Stay safe" said Kevin
"I'll try" said Lucy
"Hey kid, good luck out there" shouted Clegg
The race began in less than 3 minutes
"And they're off ladies and gentlemen" said Beed
Lucy jumped her pod over a balcony and onto a field.
"What happens in cloud city stays in cloud city, at least i hope so" said Fode
Lucy raced into the inner parts of the city but kept bumping into the wall. She tried her best to stay awake
"Looks like Team Lucy is dozing off, i guess she doesn't care about winning anymore
"LUCY WAKE UP" shouted Kevin
Lucy snapped out of her state and sped thru the internal workings of the city
"Yeehaw, that sure looks like fun down there doesn't it racers? Oh no, someone left the fan on" shouted Fode
Lucy entered a tunnel and got sucked out the other end. She got sprayed by steam
"Try to avoid those steam vents racers. And the railing ahead isn't consistent so stay away from those rails" said Fode
Lucy wiped water off her goggles and did her best to avoid the railings.
"Team Lucy, Clegg and Aldar have entered the docking yards which mean the finish line isn't too far ahead" said Beed
"You're doing good kid" shouted Clegg
Aldar beedo knocked Lucy and Clegg to the side and passed thru the finish line
"Aldar Beedo wins with Lucy second and Clegg at third. Looks like the dream couldn't stay alive, but either way they're going to the second to last race on the galactic capital planet, Coruscant" said Fode
"Well that's all the time we have for tonight, i'm Beed"
"And i'm fode, signing off"
Lucy stopped her pod
"Sorry, i just couldn't stay awake" said Lucy
"It's ok sis, we're still going to coruscant. Come on, lets go home" said Kevin
He put his arm around his tired sister and walked to the games exit
"You're doing really good sis" said Kevin
"Thanks bro" said Lucy
