(Well Read)
Over the next two weeks, we did all we could to protect ponies, but Rare was a step ahead of us every time. Being unable to fly, or use magic sucks when you are trying to stop a vampire at their full power. After those two weeks, we went to test what I could now do. Vinyl had told Twilight what we were up to, and she brought one of her friends. Twilight wanted to put me through all these strange and rigorous tests before I could try to fly again apparently, I wasn’t the only one upset with Twilight not letting me fly yet, “That’s It! I’ve had it. Twilight, let go of him. You can test him later. I WANT TO RACE!”
Twilight stopped in the middle of locking yet another cuff on my wing, “Fine, you can have him, Rainbow, but, if I find that he becomes unable to fly because of you…. You’ll take his place in these machines. You remember last time, right?” The knowing grin said that I shouldn’t question it.
The blue pegasus actually stopped flying just long enough to show being frightened by the thought, “He will be fine”, she said while waving a hoof, “I’ll only push him close to half my speed.”
“Okay, but you have to stay where I can observe.” The machine let go of my wing and she whispered, “If you have to get more blood”, she pointed at Rainbow Dash, “Don’t get it from her. She tends to hate bleeding, or getting poked with needles.” She smiled and stepped away.
“I hope you smoke her!” Came the loud cheer from Vinyl with a cocky grin on her face.
“Go Dashie!” Yelled the pink pony beside her that hadn’t been there before. “What? She is rooting for him, so Dashie needs somepony to root for her.”
Vinyl raised her shoulders and hooves, “Guess that makes sense.”
Once Twilight was done removing the other four cuffs attached to my hooves I went to the starting line where Rainbow was waiting. “Get Ready!...3……….2………….1...GO!” Yelled the cheerful pink pony. We took off, literally leaving dust clouds in our shapes behind. I could tell that Rainbow was not actually doing what she said, she was going all out and so was I. I was directly behind the cyan pegasus the whole race. We went through a tree-filled corridor, some cloud rings, and Ghastly Gorge(Twilight fainted when we went in). The race was over almost as fast as it began.
“You are pretty quick, for a pegasus relearning to fly.” Her gasps between words and sweat down her face told the story better than her mouth, we had gone fast and hard. I was so exhausted that Twilight had to tell me when she was done running her weird tests.
After I was released from the mechanical grips of the alicorn’s devices I went home for a pick me up, some nice blood. I opened the door to my cabinet of blood, grabbed a vial, went to pour my drink when I heard, “Hell of a race, wish I could’ve been there to cheer you on, Well.” Rare, what was Rare doing in my house?
