"Okay," Autumn said, letting Speedy off at his house, "You'll meet me back over on Delaware-12 in an hour?"
"Yes."
"Head or foot?"
"Foot."
"See you then," Autumn said, as she began to go into Canterlot City.
"I don't know about your racing style, but mine is a cute, little 1982 Polski Fiat 126p," she said to herself as she headed towards a shady-type car lot for all of Delaware and the part of Maryland that sat beside their state, "But with a mod."
~~~On a bench in Canterlot City outside of Sugarcube Cafe~~~
Sofia and Seth were drinking mochas, their winter tradition, talking over a few things.
"Physics lab in Byelorussia is having technical problems."
"It okay if I come back, yeah?"
"Please."
"Is Minsk still 'Gray and Depressing'?" she looked at him like he was being a jackass, "I know, I just had to ask that," she laughed for a moment.
"I know."
"Damn phone!" a voice Seth recognised as VP Luna's said, coming out of the cafe, "I go for the best thing I can get my hands on, and it's still a piece of shit!"
"Luna," her sister said, "It's not the end of the world. I'm sure i-"
Seth and Sofia turned around, seeing the situation, also getting the attention of the women.
"Seth, good," Luna said, giving him the phone, "PLEASE fix this!"
He looked it over and said, "Here's your problem: it's an iPhone."
"What?"
"Contrary to popular belief, especially for hackers such as yours truly. Windows Phones run Windows, and thus can run full-on Windows programs, even if a bit slowly. Android is Linux, which opens up the biggest pile of shit when I get one from a carrier because they load bloatware for me to have to remove said bloatware. I have a TV. Why would I want to watch NFL on a seven-inch screen? Better yet, why would I want to watch it at all? I don't even like football, or, for that matter, any sport."
"I'll get a Pixel to you when school starts back."
"That reminds me," he said, turning to Celestia, "Would it be okay if I missed out on my classes for a few weeks or so? I'm needed over in the Soviet Union."
"To teach them how to use a ZX-80?" Luna replied sarcastically.
"Stop your shit now," Sofia said, "I from Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic."
"They let you in?"
"Luna!" Celestia scolded before turning back to the duo, "Sorry, the phone thing's just got her mad. And you can go to Belarus."
"Thanks."
~~~The car place~~~
Autumn pulled off of the side of the road and inside a garage. She now had a streetracer's attitude and persona.
"Yo, Douglas!" she said, shutting off her Honda and getting out, "Blazer!"
A man pulled himself out from under a 2010 Mustang and got up, "Nice to see you again."
"I got somethin' special," she said, pulling some clothes from a closet, reminiscent of a motocross outfit, "You know my deal."
He noticed something different about her as she quickly changed into the outfit, "You just come from a hot date?"
"What's it to ya?"
"I smelled it on you when you came in."
"We went all the way, now I'm gonna tear the punk to shreds in a race."
"You know where the keys are."
"Thanks," she said, getting a key that had ФИАТ written on one side of the keyhead and 126П on the other, "Good luck with the Mustang," she said, getting in a car that looked like a tangelo-colored Yugo, but a little off.
"You, too," he said, going back under the car as she started hers and left out.
"I'm gonna show off my V8," she said, getting on the road, shifting gears as she went, "I'm sitting on at least 500 horses, disguised to look like something from 1982 Poland," she smiled devilishly.
Being that her car wasn't street legal, she had to be careful, which made the trip to the foot of Delaware-12 take a decent amount of time.
When she finally made it, she saw Speedy standing next to his R33, and upon seeing his racer, he laughed as she rolled down her window.
"Don't go too fast!" he said.
"I'm from Cold War-Poland. I'm working with 24 horsepower, so you might beat me."
A few minutes later, both were in their cars and the race was about to start."
When the race was started, they both stepped on the gas. Autumn quickly had a head on Speedy, all while leaving a plume of smoke behind her.
"Highway 12," she said over the roaring engine when she noticed Speedy passing her. Time and time again, they kept at neck-and-neck, running people off of the road, evading the cops, and Autumn doing a certain gesture at one who drove beside her for a few minutes.
After about half-an-hour, the race was over and Autumn won by half-a-second.
"What in the hell are you driving!?" Speedy said, going to Autumn.
"I had it modded to increase the number of cylinders from two to eight, engine strokes from two to four, and the horsepower was only a little boosted, going from twenty-four to almost five hundred."
"Shit. You gotta show me your guy."
