Sapphire woke up to the sunlight streaming through her trailer window. Getting up and stretching her suspension to get the kinks out, the #20 racer opened the door and rolled out. She was greeted by her sister, who told her that she would have some off-time before she starts practice.
Nodding, Sapphire said that she wouldn't be late and and took the time to wander around the stadium, just to see what was up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside the stadium, Ebony had met up with Cade and Flame with the twins. Instead of going inside like she usually would with the others, Ebony went off with the two to a motel where she could spend a bit of quiet time with her children, snuggling together on a sleeping pad and drapped with a nightcover.

Joltsen saw Sapphire out of the corner of his eyes, and figured it would be worth to try to get her attention. He waved a tire to get her attention smiling, it would be up to her, depending on what she was doing, if she would come or not.

Sapphire, while she was prowling around, noticed that Joltsen was trying to get her attention, so she came over.
"Good morning," she smiled cheerfully.

"Nice to see you in a good mood Weathers." Joltsen smiled back. "I saw that you were in the top ten in qualifications, congratulations." With her at least acting in such good mood, Joltsen figured she had not been so put off-balance from Malvaso last night.
"You want something to drink before training?" Joltsen asked.

Sapphire nodded, "Sure. I'm up to that."
She figured that she shouldn't let someone like Norman taunt her and that he'll get his sooner or later.

"I will pay what you order." Joltsen said. While he was not quite agreeing with Kamui, he didn't look at Sapphire as a fellow of Kamui. "I didn't score as high as I should have, but I got my methods to get to the top places." He said casually. Joltsen was mostly known for not slowing down at all in turns, and equally good at passing infield and outfield. Joltsen was also known to use up his fuel to the point where he was running on fumes. Fuel Gamble usually caused a massive drop in fan numbers, but he had somewhat survived and still have quite a number of fans.

"Thank you," replied Sapphire.
She then heard about Joltsen's scoring and that he has methods of getting to the top, "Whatever works for you. I have my own methods, too." Sapphire had good speed and maneuverability to counter the other racers. She was almost as good as her father, but not quite.

Joltsen nodded silently, then figured it was a good time to ask.
"Found any solution to the Normal problem?" He asked. "Or was him returning so quickly not what you had forseen?"

"Not yet," Sapphire shook her front, "I really don't know what to do about him, except to ignore what he says about me. I didn't even know he'd be racing this season either. So I'm drawing a blank on that one."

"I would have we have to wait for him to do something illegal in order to boot him out." Joltsen said. It was though a sure way to get him out of the Piston Cup, but it meant Sapphire would be a victim.
"At least we don't have to deal with Chick now, and Glimmer is in somewhat a bad way. So the only challenges would be Lightning and..." He paused. "The rest, maybe we have to deal with another rookie of the year who will manage to do what Lightning did."
((Need to get to work, later.))

"Who knows when Normal is going to do something illegal," said Sapphire, "He may just be waiting for the right moment to strike. I'm sort of glad that none of us have to deal with Chick, but he does have a back-up driver... named Eddie, I think."

"Yep, Eddie. I met him last night. He's a nervous car." Joltsen thought to himself about what he had seen. "But it is the racer that is what counts in this. He may be a 'car of tomorrow', but he doesn't have the mindset of a racer."
"This may end up as an interesting season. Tuners as rookies in a test run this season, Normal is back, and Chick ended up missing the start race because of some stupid prank."

"I'd say Eddie needs some training," said Sapphire, "Being the Car of Tomorrow doesn't make him exempt. I don't think any of us here get special treatment, except from our own sponsors."
She paused, "And yes, this is turning out to be an interesting season indeed."

"Or our crewchiefs." Joltsen laughed. "Or at least I wish mine did once in a while."
"Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I had noticed you and Exan together like you know each other well. Where did you two meet anyway? Tuner and a daughter of a stock racer."

"Actually, we met up in Canada when a prank she wanted to play on Chick backfired and I was the victim instead," said Sapphire, "I wasn't too happy about it. Put me out for a week. Kamui and I, well, we don't always see eye to eye and we disagree on a lot of things."
