Her First Race


“Gotta keep moving!” Rainbow Dash said to herself, pumping herself up. “Got to beat those guys to the finish line!” risking a quick look, the rainbow maned Pegasus risked a look behind her. Her brief glimpse confirmed it, the two other ponies were following right behind her and it looked like they might catch up to her. A smirk came to her, knowing that try as they might, they would never be able to catch up with her.

After all, she was Rainbow Dash, fastest little three-year old Pegasus this side of Cloudsdale. There was no lighting bolt she can’t out run, no pony she couldn't out pace, and nothing she couldn't do. A small giggle came to her as she turned her head away from the approaching challengers to her title, determined to win the race. It did not matter if they were just walking behind her, they were only trying to fill her with a false confidence as she was gaining the lead. The magenta eyes of the blue filly opened wide as she caught the first sight of the finish line and her goal.

Not wanting to let her parents catch up and beat her (no matter if they were just walking, it was only a head start), the little filly put everything she had into winning this race. Nothing at all would deter her from her goal, her mission, or her prize.

Pushing her little legs to the limits, she crossed her imaginary goal line in a matter of minutes. Confident and happy that she beat all other competitors to this line, she thrust her fore-hooves into the air and cheered, “I WON!” then, she turned her head and looked at her prize. “Yay, first place Fluttershy!”

“Hello Rainbow,” Fluttershy said, getting glomped by the cyan speedster and returning the hug.
