Chapter 15: The great galloping start


JetStream sighed, 'That memory last night, I can remember every detail. I really want this thing to start...' he suddenly smiled, but it just disappeared, 'Or, or do I just want to see the night again?' he looked outside, he started swinging his legs back and forth on the edge of the bed, where he was put to rest from the incident. Although he had some desire for night, he knew it would have to wait until. Soon after some thought, the door suddenly opened, Myriad and Colas walked in afterward, Colos was behind the two. JetStream noticed them and perked up, sitting straight. Myriad decided to speak first.

"How do you feel?" JetStream made eye contact, smiling.

"I feel great, or a lot better than I was..." his voice was still scattered, but it was pulling together. Myriad just laughed lightly and smiled. JetStream looked over to the partly shy, young mare.

"Oh, hello Colas. Why you back here?" he asked curiously. Colas made a happy expression.

"I just wanted to check on you. To see how you were doing." JetStream nodded, giggling a little.

"You act like a nurse, Colas." She looked like she wanted to remember that. Myriad walked over to his son.

"Here, JetStream I want to see if you can at least walk..." He held out his hoof, JetStream extended his as well, and pulled him off the bed, "Go ahead, walk around the room." So JetStream went ahead, it was like trying some fancy shoes or something, or that's what it looked like. After he got it down, and he seemed to be able to push him self at higher speeds, Myriad continued, "So, my boy, you still want to do this?" his normal expression, worried eyes with a smile. JetStream stopped, looked at his father and nodded.

"Of course I want to." Myriad and Colas were happy to hear that.

"Well, if you say so-" immediately Colos called from the hallway that they're calling everypony to the front of the hotel.

"This will be the best yet." Soon all of them started to the hallway and towards outside, not forgetting to close the door of course. As soon as they got outside, they were told to wait at the starting gate. Then right after, a pony was walking to the center of the crowd, she had a firm smile.

"Alright, settle down everypony. Welcome to the Fun-Run that has been moved throughout Equestria! This year it's obviously in this here city of Altamare. Now, I'm going to go over a little detail-" there were mutters spurring through the thick crowd, "some details about this." she picked up a piece of harder-than-paper card, with her glowing horn. "This run will take place from here, to Canterlot in the main plaza." There were chatter in the crowds once again, "The path will follow the river, for the most part." Colos and JetStream looked at each other, knowing what one another is thinking, "And throughout this route will be checkpoints where you'll be able to stop at for any, needs. It will be free will so you can decide on what to do when you get there." her upbeat personality was too much to ignore, "Also, for the young ones with the heart of a manticore, you can take advanced routes to which you'll be able to walk, trot, or even gallop on. And there are multiple kinds that affect certain someponys, some examples are rocky roads, giant boulders blocking the path, clouds above not-so-deep holes, but I'm certain you pegasi wont make mistakes, but even so you can still give a helping hoof." Across the crowd a certain grey Pegasus shuffled, she didn't look too confident. But JetStream on the other hoof, he was confident as ever to try the spell his Mom always did. After seconds had gone by, and as soon as the sun escaped the from the next cloud, she went ahead and pulled on a lever that revealed a green flag, and before he knew it, JetStream saw tons of hours on this one path to Canterlot, most of them started walking of course, but JetStream, he wanted to be ahead, he had a need for speed to gallop ahead of the disorderly pack. And nothing ahead of him except the rolling hills full of green on the horizon.
