Control. Re-run of championship on downhill course. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. It's Greaseball, Electra, Bobo and Rusty as they come down from the high level and Electra passes the champion. Bobo passes the champion. Something's holding the champion back. It's Pearl, and the champion doesn't like that one bit. Oh, no - he's uncoupled Pearl. We have a runaway. Pearl's heading for the edge and Rusty saves her. That was courageous. The champion's racing solo. That's not allowed. Not for long. Greaseball takes Ashley and Bobo's out of it. Back at the high level now with Electra leading and the champion is second. It looks like Rusty's bid has failed. Can't anyone take the electric superstar? Can the champion come back? It's Electra and the champion disputing the lead. Rusty comes through. Electra zaps the champion. Against all the odds, Rusty is the champion. Rusty for lap of honour. Rusty I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl Next Time You Fall In Love Pearl I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong My first love was my true love and it should have been my last The only time I'm happy's when I'm dreaming in the past Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be Back then was when we touched the starlight Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you is right And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn And broken hearts can be repaired, that's something that you learn Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be Back then was when we touched the starlight Rusty I've re-lived every moment that I ever shared with you
