### Timing Buffy and Competition

Marty was requested by the coach to time Buffy. After she was done, they recognized each other as they met at the party. Buffy remembered who he was with Marty's help. After getting her time, she was pleased with the result, which was 11.8. Marty said that she was the fastest girl, while he had a time of 11.5. Marty told Buffy that it's just a biological fact that the fastest female will never be able to beat the fastest male. Buffy then challenged him to a race, which Marty accepted.

As they get ready to race, Buffy was more flexible then Marty in stretching and showed off. Marty told her that everything doesn't have to be a competition. As they raced, Buffy got a head start multiple times as he wasn't ready. *("She Said, She Said")*

### Race and Buffy's Shoe

After Buffy was called less competitive because she was becoming friends with Marty, she went over to him and asked him to race to prove who was the fastest. Marty didn't want to because he thought it didn't matter but Buffy persuaded him.

After Buffy couldn't find her shoe, she assumed Marty took it because he wanted to sabotage her so that he could win the race. As revenge, she took Marty's shoes and sunk them in toilet water. *("She's Turning Into You")*
