Fiddlesticks emerged from the bathroom and immediately noticed a small crowd gathered, all chanting.
“Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!”
Her brow furrowed. What had-?
And then she caught sight of a familiar green coat between all the legs.
Fiddlesticks cringed. She’d left Lightning alone for two minutes! What had happened? She ran over, rearing up to see in the circle.
Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash faced each other, a quickly-diminishing pile of fritters between them. With steel in their eyes, they matched each other, fritter for fritter.
Fiddlesticks released a breath she didn’t know she was holding. An eating contest? She wasn’t sure this was better than what she’d thought Lightning had done, but not by much. She looked over and suddenly realized she was standing next to Applejack.
Applejack watched, a knowing (if frustrated) little smile playing at her lips. “Pegasi,” she muttered. “You gotta love them.”
And Fiddlesticks did.
