Sweetie Belle gives a nice paint job on a go kart she and her friends, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, have been working on. She paints it blue with some yellow, white, and orange stripes.
“This will really look good for the go kart race this Saturday.” Sweetie Belle figured.
“I know.” Apple Bloom agreed. “Me and Scoots will be cheering for ya.”
“Thanks, you guys. I hope Rarity will be proud of me.”
“Not to worry.” Scootaloo said. “Everyone will be cheering for you. You have nothing to worry about.”
Sweetie Belle felt relieved. Just then, an eerie looking woman with dark brown hair and wearing a long black long sleeve gown and black shoes approached the trio.
“Preparing for a go kart race, I see.” The strange woman said.
Scootaloo saw this stranger, and marched up to her. “What do you think you’re doing, Widow?”
“I’m just wishing your friend good luck.” The person named Widow replied as she presents Sweetie Belle a bouquet of black roses. “She’ll need it.”
Seeing the dark bouquet, Sweetie Belle freaked out as the woman walked away while laughing wickedly.
“That woman is creepy.” Sweetie Belle said nervously.
Apple Bloom realized who she is. “Scootaloo, was that the eerie Widow in Black?”
“That’s her all right.” Scootaloo answered. “She’s one of the creepiest characters in Aunt Kitty’s crew.”
Sweetie Belle calmed down and turned to her friends. “I’m not going to let anyone intimidate me! Especially the Widow in Black.”
“That’s the spirit.” Scootaloo cheered as the three friends placed their hands in the middle. Saturday came, and in a closed of section of Canterlot City, the youngsters got their go karts ready for the race.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” moderator Miss Cherilee announced, “Are you ready?”
Everybody cheered until The Widow made her own announcement. “We are gathered here today to honor the loss of one of these racers. Not in life. But, a loss in this race. I’m referring to miss Sweetie Belle. Your hopes of victory will be laid to rest.”
The Widow left the scene, leaving everybody in the stands speechless.
“Don’t let that grim figure scare you folks.” Miss Cherilee announced. “Let’s get ready.”
The racers are standing by as Miss Cherilee gives the signal. “Ready....set.... GO!”
The gate lifted and the go karts rolled down the hill. Everybody cheered as the karts speed down, Sweetie Belle steered her way safely. One of the racers, Diamond Tiara, was surprised when Sweetie Belle past her.
“She’s not a quitter,” Diamond said to herself, “despite what that Widow in Black tried to do.”
The crowd at the bottom of the street cheered as Timber Spruce waited with checkered flag in hand. Sweetie Belle crossed the line, and Timber waved the checkered flag. Then, he announced, “The winner is Sweetie Belle!”
Everybody cheered for Sweetie Belle. Even Diamond Tiara was impressed as she shook her hand in friendship. “Congratulations, Sweetie Belle.”
Meanwhile, watching from a distance, the Widow in Black was upset that Sweetie Belle wasn’t scared of her tactics. Silver Spoon approaches the grim figure.
“Looks like your plan to scare Sweetie Belle was the ONLY thing that got laid to rest.” Silver Spoon said as she left the area laughing.
The Widow got annoyed at that comment. “Very funny.”
