Rainbows in the snow
It took day's for me to recover. A lot of my muscles kept hurting. It was a nasty hit I made. I heard from Jack and Rainbow that I went head on into a tree and sideways into others after. It´s scary to think of.
“What now?” Jack asked to me as I was sitting in my chair. “Are you going to drive again?” I laughed. “With what?” He looked at me. “Well?” I asked, knowing he didn't had an answer back. I was hopeless. “Look, I was only racing so I could get money to drive Nascar again.” I looked down. “Now I don't even have money to repair my car.” Jack thought a little. “You know...” He started. I looked up with a desperate face. “There is a lot of money that you can win in the yearly World Race. I trust you, you know. You can use my M3.” He suggested. I laughed. “So I can wreck it?” Jack laughed. “Haha, no. Your crash in the woods wasn't your fault. The suspension broke. Nobody could ever hold that car straight.” I understood that, but actually it wasn't that that was bothering me. I just saw death right in front of me. “Do it for Rainbow.” That caught me. “When is it?” I asked Jack.
I looked outside. Bright white snow flakes fell down on the cold ground. Christmas. The day of the World Race. Millions of dollars. That was what I could win. I could go back racing again and take care of Rainbow better. “By the way Jack. Aren't you going to drive in this event?” I asked while I plopped down on the couch. “Dude, I won the World Race 3 times. I've got enough money for the rest of my life.” He said laughing. “I'm just happy that I can help other people.” He laughed harder. “And flying ponies!” We both laughed as Rainbow joined laughing. With a scarf around her neck and a white layer of melting snow on her cap she sat down. “And where do you come from?” I asked. “Nowhere, just some training.” She turned her face away. What was she up to this time.
Half the day passed as I talked to Jack and Rainbow. “We need to get going by now. We don't want to miss the christmas party.” I said as I picked up the car keys and a jacket. “What?” Rainbow asked with a question mark on her face. “Hearth's warming eve.” Jack laughed. It's actually true. I looked in to the brony stuff.” In the car We talked about the brony fandom a lot. Even Rainbow was impressed. Time passed as we finally got to the party. Rainbow stayed in hotel room. “We won't be away for long.” I said. Jack and I went of to the party.
It was one hour or so that we were away. Rainbow was just chilling on the bed. “Rainbow!” I called. She came out of the bed room. “Yes?” She asked with a fluffy mane because of her nap she took. She opened her eyes as she saw Jack and I with a lot of food and some christmas hats. “We are going to celebrate christmas over here. That would be fair to you as well.” Rainbows smile became greater. “Thanks!” And so we partied till midnight. Then we slept in for the race next day. I was excited. Rainbow was even more excited. I didn’t know why.
I could feel the tension. At least a hundred were at the starting line. A lot of different clans. The B4 clan was there as well. The engines started up. An infernal racket burst out. I knew if the firework exploded, that the race would start. It was a very large race. A wide trail of snow made the race track. The high sound of the firework flying into the air caught the attention of all driver. Everyone looked at the sky waiting for the explosion. Then after some seconds, there was a loud bang in the sky. Shortly after the sound of the engines coming up to speed overwhelmed all other sounds. The race has begun. I still was questioning myself. How could this not go wrong. Hundreds of cars racing for one spot. One price. As I thought. There were some crashes going on in the huge pack of cars. Some cars went over and over. Some cars just span. I didn’t look back to those cars. If I did, the fear would beat me. I just kept going full power ahead.
I didn't know where I was. I didn't know what position I was in. Then I looked in my mirror. I saw Rainbow flying closer and closer to me. “You're tenth!” She screamed as she flew further forward. Some minutes later she came back. “Some guy’s cut off the course! You're way behind!” The track became narrower. Slower. This was where I felt the M3’s power. I would close in for sure. But would it be enough. Rainbow flew to the cars in front and back to me again. From the time it took, I didn't had very much hopes. “You're at least 10 minutes behind!” I was shocked. Where did they actually cut that part off? I knew it was a race without rules, but this was bad.
After a hour of driving I closed the gap by 1 minute. Still 9 to go. There wasn't that much track left though to really go faster. I was on the limit. My car as well. The track became wider again. It took some seconds to notice that this was the last straight before the finish line. I was thinking. Rainbow just came back and shook her head. I wasn't closing in. “Rainbow!” I screamed. I would just suggest the most dangerous thing I ever did. “Rainbow! Can you push me?!” I would just hold my clutch and my car straight. I didn't expect it but rainbow slowed down. She put her hooves up the back of my car. She started pushing.
My fear became worse as my speed kept running up. My speedometer was in the red. I couldn't see how fast I was going. But I felt it. I kept going faster. It took a minute before I heard a loud bang. I looked in my mirror. A trail of seven colors came from my car. Was this a sonic rainboom like? Still I felt my car speeding up. She is not. No! Don't! I wanted to brake, but I couldn't do anything at these speeds. If I broke, the car would spin out of control. The same counted for if I let go off the clutch. From my rear window came a white flash. My car slowed down while I still flew past the other contenders. I was still slowing down as I went over the finish. I was going far too fast to know if I was first. I was stiff of fear. It took the whole straight for me to slow down far enough to let go of the clutch. Still in my highest gear I broke as hard as I could. I stopped.
I drove back to the finish as I got cheered on by the crowd who were astonished. I looked for Jack. I found Jack who was looking with open mouth. “What the hell happened there?” I didn't answer his question. “Is Rainbow here?” I asked. I broke out in tears as Jack shook his head. “What is it then?” Jack asked without knowing why I was going this fast. “Rainbow is back.” I cried harder.
