Chapter Three - Dashie through the woods...
Rainbow Dash looked down at the massive forest beneath her as she glided above. Despite previous ventures into the Everfree Forest with her friends, she had never actually properly explored the place, mostly for the good reason being that the area was home to many dangerous creatures and wildlife. But where there was danger, there was excitement, and Rainbow Dash, naturally being a pony who would take excitement over boredom any day of any week of any month of any year of any century, was willing to take the risk.
Besides, if she did come across anything she couldn't handle - not that she couldn't handle anything, being the one of the most, if not the most awesome pony in all of Equestria - she was more than fast enough to get out of there.
The trees in this part look pretty thick. Could be hard to push through if I wanna get in or out in a hurry. If I'm gonna do this, I'll need someplace to land, Rainbow Dash thought to herself.
From the corner of her eyes, Rainbow Dash spotted a small open clearing to her right. "Hey, there's a place I can land," Rainbow Dash said. She veered to the side and headed towards the clearing, hovering above the small area and looking around for signs of danger before allowing herself to drop down and land upon the grassy floor.
Rainbow Dash folded her wings and looked at her surroundings. The Everfree Forest looked huge from above, but on ground level the trees just seemed to go on and on forever. So far, nothing big or scary had leaped out of the darkness of the thickets to gobble her up, so things seemed alright so far. Perhaps the excitement would be a little further into the forest? Breathing in, Rainbow Dash put her hoof forward and disappeared amid the trees.
She strolled through the forest, listening to the sounds of wildlife chirping and chattering all around her. Various plants and flowers of a myriad of colors and sizes lay out at her sides, their sweet aromas tickling her nose. The forest was plentiful of life and - oh holy sweet Celestia, was all of this so boring!
"What gives?" Rainbow Dash said loudly, throwing her hoof in the air in annoyance. "Where's all the dangerous animals and flesh-eating plants? Where's all the gloomy and doomy atmosphere?" This looked nothing like the Everfree Forest that she remembered visiting on previous occasions. This area looked beautiful, but Rainbow Dash wasn't here for the beauty. She wanted danger and adventure, anything remotely exciting to get rid of the boredom that had led her here to begin with.
She kicked a small stone by her hoof into some bushes as she grunted. "Great. The one time I actually want to be in danger and not even the scary forest can do that!" Rainbow Dash sulked. She turned around with an unsatisfied expression. "I guess I might as well go home and..."
Rainbow Dash was interrupted as something suddenly raced past her, blowing her rainbow mane from the force. Leaves and small twigs followed after, some of which were blown into Rainbow Dash's face. Caught off-guard by what had happened, a few moments passed by before the pegasus blinked a couple of times and returned to reality.
"What in the wide world of Equestria was that just now?" she squealed. She turned around instinctively to see what had flew past her with such speed, only to be met with a beak and a pair of eyes up close to her face. Rainbow Dash screamed and fell on to her back. Looking up in panic, her stress dissolved into confusion as she locked gazes with a strange bird-like creature she had never seen before in her life.
The creature tilted its head, its beak curving into a smirk. It seemed to be studying Rainbow Dash, sizing her up and noting her appearance.
There was an awkward silence between pony and bird that was eventually broken when Rainbow Dash found her voice and spoke up. "Er...hi there?" she asked, raising a hoof in a friendly gesture.
The creature stared at her for a few moments longer. Then it stuck its tongue out at her, and jumped up and down excitedly. "Meep! Meep!" it called out, before racing off into the forest at great speed. The woodland critters that had been frightened off earlier and were just cautiously coming back were scared away once again as the creature zig-zagged between the trees.
Rainbow Dash stared after the creature in confusion, unsure of what had just happened. What kind of creature was that? Never before had she ever heard of anything like it in her life. It wasn't dangerous at least, that much Rainbow Dash could assure herself. If it was, it would have harmed her rather than run off like that.
Speaking of running though...whatever that creature was, it ran pretty quick. Like, really quick. Like, 'so quick that it might be really cool to race it' quick.
And if something could move that fast, Rainbow Dash was the pony who had to race it.
Rainbow Dash smirked. "Maybe this won't be boring after all," she said to herself as her wings flared out and began flapping speedily, the pegasus mare quickly shooting off through the trees after the mysterious speedy bird creature...thing.

Let me just say that I love your story. When I was a kid the Looney Tunes were my favorite show. I loved the Coyote and the Road Runner the most. I am overjoyed to see such beloved classic crossover in this site. Can't wait to see how RD flares against the Coyote or even how the Coyote deals with the rest of the ponies. Furthermore, I love RD's meeting with the Road Runner and her decision to race him.
5900057 I'm not very good at writing stories that last longer than a couple of chapters, so as hard as it may be to believe this is a bit of a challenge for me to keep things interesting enough for the reader throughout. But so long as even a few people enjoy it, I'm willing to go as far as I can.
Chapters will be coming slowly as I'm currently trying to find people to do a bit of voice-acting for my current animation for YouTube. I'm doing a short parody of the Castle Sweet Castle episode of My Little Pony Season 5.
I've got one person so far who will voice for Rarity and Pinkie Pie. I just need someone to do Twilight Sparkle and Applejack. I can't draw the rest of the animation out until I get the voices I need to help me animate the mouths for mimicking speech.
Still, thank you for reading this chapter/story. I'll try to get around to the next chapter as soon as I can, and I'll try to make the next chapters longer.
I didn't get an alert for this chapter either. Dude, you seriously need to write longer chapters, at least over 1000 words per chapter.

I'm not great at long stories, dude! Give me a break! It's a miracle I could write that many words for the chapter! I'm not a freaking genius with this stuff, it's very hard for me. I'm trying my best, so just...just drop your torches and pitchforks and just...simmer down, alright?
5909732 Look. I've found that in the past, I've done slightly better stories with more words per chapter when I have help, right?
So, if you want to help me write out the next chapter and put more words into it, you're absolutely more than welcome to lend a hand. I'd be hugely appreciative of it too. Honestly.
Otherwise, if I'm doing this by myself then, without being rude, you'll have to please be patient and understanding of my limited writing talent. I'm trying to do the best I can, and I'm genuinely sorry I'm not keeping up to your expectations, but you must understand that I'm not as gifted with writing words as other people. I'd like to think I'm not the worst writer, but somewhere close to decent.
I'm telling you this because I hate disappointing people. I don't want to lose your interest and I don't want you to feel betrayed by my inability to write enough words for the chapter notifications to happen, okay? I'm being sincere here.

Well, I'm sorry, but these chapters are too damn short for multiple reasons:
1: They barely show anything going on, there's not enough meat for the meal
2: The shortness doesn't let anyone know it updated. This is a good story, it should have fans. It can't have those fans if they don't know it's updated without manually checking themselves.
5909765 I was going to add the third chapter on to the second to make that a bit longer. Thing is, I don't know what to do, or how to progress the story. But if I quit it then I feel I'll betray the people who actually do have interest in it. Why they have interest in this story I do not know. I feel someone like RainbowBob would be better off writing this than me.
Look, buddy. If you want to help me write this drek out, I'll take you on cause' I'm awful with long stories. I want to make this work but I just don't know how people's interests work. This wasn't meant to do this well. I expected lesser views. The fact this has a lot more than a hundred views means this could work but I don't know how to do it.
So...I'm on my knees here. If you wanna throw some ideas in here and be credited for it, I'll do it. Or if you want me to give you this story so it can be given the justice it should have, I'll do it. If this story is a good idea, it deserves someone competent to write it.
Otherwise, I'm on my own here, trying to think up a way to write anything at all. I'm doing animations on the side as well, and I like that more than writing at times.
5909765 So no answer then?
Dude, you're awesome for creating this story.
I love The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote the most out of the Looney Tune.
I sincerely hope to see more in the future. :D
6313345 If I think of how to continue the story I will write more. Writing isn't really my thing but I find it's nice to at least give it a shot now and then.
I am also looking for folk to help me with writing these stories. So any ideas you have feel free to post them to me in the PM's and I'll be sure to give you a mention and credits.
This chapter reminds me of the race between RoadRunner and Speedy Gonzales
If you can ever find that episode, i highly recommend it. The interplay between Wile E. & Sylvester was classic
