	Rainbow Dash and I stood at the starting line of her house, and would finish at the entrance of the castle. I was so psyched up for this! I got to race the fastest character in the show! Applejack was timing the race. "On yer mark... git set... GO!" She shouted.
Rainbow Dash and I both took off extremely fast, both confident. Then, I pulled a bit of a shit move (which worked!): I slowed down. 

RD noticed this, and got cocky. She started flying backwards, sticking her tongue out at me. As I began speeding back up, she flew into a tree, after which I caught up. Once I caught up, she had finally become intelligible again. She grinned at me, appreciating my willingess and cleverness in such a prank. She was going so fast, she almost pulled off the Sonic Rainboom, when suddenly I just kicked into high gear and broke not just the sound barrier, but beyond that.

I must have reached the speed to break the sound barrier - x4! I sped past Rainbow Dash, leaving her to stare in awe as she stopped mid-Rainboom. As I flew, I saw such odd things - amazing colors, crazy shapes, beautiful scenes of all sorts of different things, all of which appeared out of nowhere! Eventually, I decided that it must have been my conciousness slowly breaking down as the incredible speed took it's toll on my body, mind, and soul

When I reached the castle no more than 10 seconds after that, I flew on back at the same speed until I reached RD. I thought she would break down crying, but instead, she cheered, excited she had found somepony faster than her! I was certain I had replaced the Wonderbolts in her mind from how hard she was shouting. She hugged me and said what a big fan she had become of me just then.

'Unbelievable,' I thought to myself. 'I have a fan!' As I flew off with RD in tow, I wondered to myself, 'I wonder if I could join the Wonderbolts...? Ach! No, no, I can't do that! I have Luna, and my family! I can't do that!'

But still...
