"Hey guys, it's great to see you could make it," said Gabby who was waiting outside her closed garage with Watts as AJ and Blaze drove up to them.
"Hi Gabby, hi Watts," said Blaze while coming to a stop.
"What's the big surprise you wanted to show us?" asked AJ who jumped out of his seat and landed next to his friend.
"Actually, the surprise is from all of our friends," said Watts before opening the garage door.
"Whoa!" said Blaze and AJ while all their friends drove out with people driving them.
"You all have partners now?" asked AJ.
"That's right," said Darington as he came to a stop and his driver did a flip through his window, landing on his feet in a T-pose stance.
"Name's Stunts, and living on the dangerous side is my way of life," said the young driver who was wearing a jumpsuit that resembled Darington's paint job and a helmet covering his head.
"Me Creg, Zeg's friend," said a kid who was wearing a fur pelt.
"Name's Nova, looking forward to racing all of you later," said a cow girl who stood with Starla. As she introduced herself she tilted her hat to the others.
"And we're Bash and Dill," said a tough looking guy who stood with a weak scaredy cat kid. Bash had on a leather jacket over a black t-shirt and blue jeans while Dill was wearing a white t-shirt and overalls.
"Nice to meet all of you," said Blaze.
"But where is Stripes?" asked AJ while looking around.
"He and his friend Tarz went on ahead to the race site," said Gabby as she jumped into Watts's driver seat.
"What race?" asked Blaze and AJ.
"The Friendship Cup!" said everyone else with big smiles.
