In the Sugar Sweet Hotel, most of the racers were recovering from last night's party, and most of them were gathered in the food court, helping themselves to breakfast. Taffyta is eating her strawberry pancakes, still in disbelief.

"I can't believe he showed up. If he's trying to win us back, he's trying too hard. He knows nobody likes him anymore." Taffyta says, still eating her breakfast.

"Shhhhh, Sugar Racing Today is on!" Jubileena shouts as the TV plays the theme for Sugar Racing Today.

"Greetings, racers alike!" Charlie says with a smile. "And welcome to Sugar Racing Today!"

"We have quite a show for you all today!" Natalia says as she picks her papers up from the news desk. "We have an interview with a possible replacement for Swizzle for the rest of the season, and we have footage from Reese Nougatson's birthday party that is a must see!"

"Do you think it's where we beat up Swizz?" Gloyd asks Jubileena.

"I don't know. But I heard something about a replacement for Swizzle." Jubileena says, smiling.

"Good thing, too!" Minty says, sipping her green apple and spearmint breakfast smoothie. "About time they found a replacement!"

On the TV, the footage switches to an interview segment, where a cinnamon-themed boy is sitting on the couch. He was vanilla white with semi-short dirty blonde hair with a cinnamon-themed cowboy hat covering part of it and he was wearing a cinnamon-colored cape going down to his waist that covers his red t-shirt, and he's wearing red pants with light brown stripes down the sides. The boy pushes some of his hair away from his eyes and faces Charlie.

"I'm here with Cinndon Sodagard, Swizzle's replacement that promises to be a strong contender." Charlie says, smiling. "So, Cinndon, what can you tell me about yourself?"

"Well, Charlie, I'm quite a treat on the track and I am a very helpful person. But never get on my bad side. I can get quite a temper!" Cinndon says with a smile. "I also play guitar in my spare time."

"Interesting. So, since you're replacing Swizzle Malarkey for the rest of the season, what can we expect from you?" Charlie asks Cinndon, who smiles a big smile.

"Well, expect some fair racing and some tough competition." Cinndon says with a smile. "I can say that I'm also skilled."

"Wonderful! So will we see you on Live At Five?" Charlie asks him.

"Absolutely!" Cinndon says as he adjusts his cape.

"And there you have it, folks! Cinndon Sodagard, Swizzle Malarkey's replacement!" Charlie says, smiling. "Natalia, back to you!"

"Sounds like this guy's quite the racer!" Natalia says. "Now, as you know, Reese Nougatson's birthday bash was last night after the Truffle Garden 500. But, halfway through the party, an uninvited guest showed up and crashed the party. The footage that we're about to show you all is very graphic in nature. We now go live to Jordan Jolrancher, head of the SRPD. Thank you for coming, Jordan." Natalia says, smiling.

"Pleasure's all mine, Miss Italian-Ice." Jordan says.

"So, from the looks of this footage we're about to see, it's going to get violent." Natalia says as she plays the footage.

The footage: Swizzle entering the party unannounced and the head of security notifying Reese about Swizzle crashing the party. The police handcuff Swizzle and the racers proceed with yelling at him and beating the living daylights out of him. You can see Clair cutting Swizzle's arm with the plastic knife and spitting on him. Swizzle is in a lot of pain as the police take him away.

"So, we took him to the Sugar Rush Penitentiary and put him in a cell. He will be spending a month there due to additional charges we found against him, such as violence, assault, and drug charges." Jordan explains as the footage cuts off.

"I see. Now, as you know, Swizzle Malarkey has also been banned from racing." Natalia explains. "Does the fact that he was a racer in the Grand Prix series change anything?"

"Nope. Just the fact that he invaded the party last night was bad enough. And I have no idea how he got past security last night." Jordan says. "The department is going to review the footage from the security from the cameras that were running last night, and we'll have an update on Live At Five."

"We look forward to it!" Natalia says with a smile. "And when we come back from the break, we will talk more about Cinndon Sodagard and his history with racing." The show cuts to a commercial break.

Meanwhile, in the Sugar Rush Penitentiary, Swizzle is sitting on the vanilla sugar wafer cookie bench in his cell and is trying to not think about how he got there in the first place. After the events of last night, he had a hard time sleeping.

"Malarkey!" Officer Wintermint says, opening his cell. "You have a visitor!"

"A visitor?" Swizzle asks him.

"Yes. Please follow me." Officer Wintermint says. Swizzle looks confused, but follows him anyway.

They reach the visitor's lounge, which is painted peach, and Swizzle sees Dylan, sitting at a table with a can of Coke in his hands.

"Dylan? What are you doing here?" Swizzle asks him.

"I came to see how you were doing. I know last night was rough for you. I actually felt sorry for you after you got arrested." Dylan says, opening the can of Coke and taking a sip.

"Yeah. Why does everyone hate me, Dylan? Am I really THAT bad? I want to change like everyone tells me to do, but how can I do that if I'm in jail?" Swizzle asks Dylan, almost looking miserable.

"You aren't that bad, Swizz, you just need help. And from what I hear, this place has counselors you can talk to, and they have a church service here, too. You could confess every sin you've committed to God, and he'll forgive you. Trust me, when I visited my ex here, it wasn't easy for me to convince her to go to the church service here. And visit the counselors, too." Dylan says. "And I have news you probably won't like."

"What's that?" Swizzle asks him.

"You're being replaced." Dylan says, looking at him sadly. "by Cinndon Sodagard, a cinnamon racer."

"WHAT?!" Swizzle practically shouts.

"Yeah. It was on Sugar Racing Today. Charlie Fizzypop interviewed him and everything!" Dylan says, almost concerned.

"How could they just replace me?!" Swizzle asks, shocked.

"I don't know, it just happened. And the SRGP staff is hosting a party in his honor at the hotel tonight to welcome him. It's a shame you can't come." Dylan says, feeling sorry.

"I know. I really just need to focus on becoming a changed person for your sake and everyone else's sake. And over the next month, I plan to do just that." Swizzle says, taking a sip of Dylan's Coke.

"Good. What everyone wants to see is the new you. No more violence, no more bad stuff, and most of all, no more hurting other racers. You're here because of all the bad stuff you did. You're banned from racing because of what you did to your fellow racers. We really just want to see a change in you, even if it means having to give up racing to do that." Dylan says.

"Okay. Thanks for coming, Dyl. It means a lot." Swizzle says, smiling a tiny bit.

"No problem, mate. I better go and get ready for the party tonight. I'll try to come before the race next week. Just hang in there, all right?" Dylan asks him.

"I'll try, Dyl. See you later." Swizzle says as Dylan walks away.

As soon as Dylan's gone, Swizzle starts to cry again. "I just...I just...I just want to change..." He covers his face with his hands, sobbing.

That night at the party, Dylan walks up to Cinndon, who's chatting it up with Torvald, Nougetsia, and Citrusella.

"What's up?" Dylan says, extending his hand out to shake Cinndon's.

"Hey, you're the other British boy I've heard about from Rancis! Nice to meet you! Name's Cinndon Sodagard." Cinndon says, shaking Dylan's hand.

"Dylan Lancer. It's a pleasure." Dylan says, smiling. "I see you met my younger cousin, Pepi."

"Yeah, she's quite a catch." Cinndon says, smiling. "I arranged to go to dinner with her tomorrow night. I really want to get to know her."

Gloyd joins the two boys when he heard Cinndon landed a date with one of the girls.

"That's awesome, Cinndon! You going to that new restaurant not too far from the hotel?" Gloyd asks him.

"Yeah, the new Italian restaurant." Cinndon says. "Does she like Italian?"

"She does, but make sure she drinks Pepsi. She really isn't all that keen on Coke." Dylan says, smiling.

"I'll make a note of that." Cinndon says, smiling back.

"I wish you luck with her." Dylan says, patting his shoulder.

"Thanks, Dylan. I'll take good care of her." Cinndon says with a smile.

Halfway through the party, Crimson is talking to Minty.

"So, are you completely over Swizz now that you're dating Dylan?" Crimson asks Minty.

"Completely over him. I learned that Swizz is a jerk. Enough said. Dylan's nicer than him, trust me. And personally, Cinndon looks like better than Swizz at racing." Minty says, smiling.

"I see." Crimson says. "Something tells me Swizz will try to get you back."

"And when he does try to get me back, I will never go back with him. What's done is done." Minty says, sipping some punch.
