A few days after breaking up with Swizzle, Minty is at the Caramel City International Speedway, practicing for the upcoming race. She isn't feeling guilty about breaking up with him, and she's glad that he's out of her life. It would help her focus a little more on her life and racing career, and maybe down the line, she would find a new boyfriend. But for now, she's doing just fine.

"You're doing just fine, Miss Zaki." her pit crew chief says as Minty makes the final turn on the track. "Just one more turn, and we'll record your practice time."

"All right, Chief Appelry." Minty says as she makes the final turn and crosses the finish line.

"Very good, Miss Zaki!" Minty's pit crew chief, Antonio Appelry says as Minty puts her kart in park. "And happy birthday, by the way."

"Thanks, Chief Appelry. How did you know it was my birthday, anyway?" Minty asks, putting her 7-Eleven baseball cap on her head and zipping up her jacket.

"Well, it's hard to forget, considering you and Crimson Crunch have the same birthday and all." Antonio says, giving Minty her kart keys. "I wished her a happy birthday, and she seemed pretty happy to hear someone talk to her when it wasn't about racing."

"I know." Minty says, putting her kart keys in her jacket pocket. "I wished Crimson a happy birthday, too, and she thanked me for that."

"So, are you two making any big plans to celebrate together or what?" Antonio asks Minty.

"Probably. I don't really know. I haven't really thought about making big plans since we have racing practice and preparations all week long." Minty says, going to her pit's cooler and taking out a bottle of green apple-flavored mineral water, opening it and taking a big swallow of it.

"Oh, it does make sense. Are you guys going to at least have cake or anything?" Antonio asks Minty, shutting the hood of her kart.

"Maybe we will. I'm not all that sure." Minty replies, sipping her water. "I better get going if I'm going to meet my sisters at the mall for my birthday shopping trip."

"Okay. See you at tomorrow's practice session." Antonio says, smiling as Minty drives off.

Meanwhile, Crimson was hanging out with Jubileena, Pepi, and Crumbelina at the hotel's café, eating donuts topped with bits of ribbon candy and drinking some milk. Crumbelina smiles as she looks at Crimson.

"What is it, Di Caramello?" Crimson asks Crumbelina, a bit confused.

"Happy birthday, Crimson!" Crumbelina says, smiling. "I can't believe you have the same birthday as Minty!"

"Yeah!" Jubileena says, smiling. "You're lucky!"

"Any big plans?" Pepi asks her, cracking open a Pepsi.

"Not really. I didn't even know I had the same birthday as Minty Zaki." Crimson says, a bit shocked.

"We have to throw you guys a party! It's not every day we have a double birthday this close to the Grand Prix!" Jubileena says, smiling.

"Jubes, you guys don't have to…" Crimson says, blushing.

"Nonsense!" Jubileena says. "We're going to throw a party for you two and I won't take no for an answer!"

"All right, all right…I guess a birthday party will be just fine with me." Crimson says, smiling slightly. "It might be fun."

"Okay, then. So we should have a 'Colorful Confetti Coconut' cake..." Crumbelina begins, then remembers one of the racers having a coconut allergy. "Oh, I just remembered…if I make that cake, Bubblina won't be able to have a piece because she's allergic to coconut…I think I'll make a Funfetti cake instead."

"And I'll bring the sodas!" Pepi says, excited. "Pepsi, orange soda, grape soda, EVERYTHING! Oh, and I'll bring music, too!"

"I'll bring the food, of course! Chocolate pizzas, marshmallow burgers, M&M cookies, jelly bean fudge, ribbon candy, caramel popcorn, everything that's essential for a party!" Jubileena says, smiling.

"R-Ribbon candy…I love ribbon candy!" Crimson says, drooling slightly.

"It's settled, then. And the party will be at Rancis' mansion. He said it was all right to." Jubileena says. "We better get to work if we want to have the party after tonight's roster race."

Pepi and Crumbelina nod in agreement.

The girls get to work on the party, leaving Crimson by herself.

Minty walks around the mall with Sticky and Torvald, looking around at all the shops and talking.

"I'm glad you broke up with Swizzle, Minty. He was no good for you." Torvald says, smiling. "Do you know when you're gonna go back to dating?"

"I don't know, Torvy. I just broke up with someone, so I don't want to start right away. I'm probably gonna go back to dating soon." Minty says as she looks in the window of the racing gear shop.

"That sounds legit enough, sis. Do you have your eye on anyone?" Sticky asks Minty.

"Oh, I like Dylan." Minty says. She quickly blushes after saying that.

"You like Lancer?" Torvald asks, her eyes wide with shock.

"Well…yes, I do." Minty says, looking at Torvald.

"When you go back to dating, you have to talk to him." Sticky says. "He's almost as cute as Hershey! But adorable as all get-out, too!"

"Okay, sis. I'll talk to him. He does look kind of cool." Minty says, smiling.

At Rancis' mansion, Crumbelina, Jubileena, Pepi, and all the male racers, except for Swizzle, who is not allowed near any of the racers, are getting ready for Minty and Crimson's birthday party.

"So, what did Swizzle's pit crew chief say on the news the other night?" Rancis asks Crumbelina as he hands her more balloons to hang up.

"His pit crew chief, Jolie Rancher, said that what he did was very uncalled for, and that she should have pulled him into the pit when he did that to Clair. Then when she saw him pushing my kart around, she made him come into the pit and they stopped scoring him after that, disqualifying him from the race. He was pretty mad about that." Crumbelina says. "His fans, however, said he should be ashamed. Even if he won his 300th race before this, what he did was a shame to the Malarkey name. His family was taught to race fairly, and apparently Swizzle wouldn't listen, as his mindset is always 'win, win, and win!' and seeing him doing things to hurt his fellow racers is enough to make them mad. So, basically, a majority of his fans hate him now."

"Wow…" Rancis says, shocked as he hangs up the rest of the balloons. "I'm glad I'm not Swizz right now."

"Me, too." Crumbelina says.

Clair puts food and drinks on tables around the room, Gloyd starts playing some music, and Herschel is smiling as he places the gifts on a nearby table.

Setup for the party continues at Rancis' mansion.

Meanwhile, Swizzle is at Sugar Rush University, trying to interact with some of the candy fans in his anger management class, but none of them want to talk to him after hearing about what he did to try to take two racers out of the running for the Grand Prix.

"You deserve to be here!" A red peppermint says, glaring at Swizzle.

"Dirty racer!" a classic Pepsi bottle yells at Swizzle.

"You, sir, are an asshole." a yellow gumdrop says, pointing a little finger at Swizzle. "Playing dirty is what you do!"

"You have issues…" a pink salt water taffy fan says, biting Swizzle on the arm, the swirl pop boy almost screaming out in pain. "YOU HAVE ISSUES!"

Many other candy fans in the class all have insults for the swirl pop boy, or they take it upon themselves to do something physical to him before the class begins. By the time the instructor steps into the room, Swizzle is a mess. His face is tearstained, his left arm is bleeding, he has a black eye, and he's just ashamed of himself. As the class begins, Swizzle starts to think that what he caused is why he's even there. A majority of his fans have turned against him, and he is clearly trying to make sense of everything that's happened lately. He can only hope that after this situation is off the minds of the race fans, and after he graduates from anger management class, he can try to get his life back on track.
