Pinkie Pie woke up after having a wonderful dream. Fluttershy came into her room while she was depressed and they became lovers. It was a wonderful dream. She turned over and saw Fluttershy in her bed. Pinkie gasped and giggled quietly, realizing it wasn't a dream. She leaned in and kissed Flutters' forehead, climbing out of the bed, tucking Flutters in the bed.
Pinkie left the room, letting Fluttershy sleep as long as she needed. She had a race to be in! Against her family.... Dang this was going to be hard, still. She didn't get down on herself though, she held strong, standing tall, she had someone by her side who loved her. She marched down the stairs, ate a large breakfast and hopped in her car, driving around the block a few times to get a hang of it. This was going to be amazing! She got back to the hotel and climbed out of her car, going into the lobby and seeing her friends, waving at Fluttershy, giggling a bit. They conversed for a while about life and how Pinkie got better.
A few hours later, Twilight got a call from the mayor of Fillydelphia, telling her it was time. The girls all got up and walked out to Pinkie's car, getting in, Fluttershy in the passanger's seat. They drove to where the race track is going to be, Pinkie parking the car at the starting position. The other girls getting out and hugging Pinkie one at a time.
"Well well well," a menacing voice cackled. The girls turned around and it was none other than Discord, "So, you're going to be racing your parents," he said, grinning wickedly, "I hope you don't.... Hurt them Pinkie Pie. What if you hit them too hard and little Inky dies in the wreckage, that would just be awful. Oh I know you would just be crushed."
The girls formed a protective wall around Pinkie, "Your tricks won't work on her Discord," Twilight said, "We all know you put them up to this!"
"Oh au contraire little Twilight, they joined me on their own free will. And don't ask me why, they heard about it from someone and just came to me. I'm not complaining, whatever it takes to bring down Pinkie Pie."
"Well you're out of luck! Pinkie is feeling better and she's going to take you down!" Twilight said, hugging Pinkie Pie gently.
Pinkie Pie giggled and then glared at Discord, "I don't believe you, I'll beat my parents and get them off your spell!"
"Believe me or not, it's true. Anyway, I'll be taking my seat, it should be starting soon," Discord said, snapping his fingers and rising up to his high in the sky throne. He even had smaller seats next to him, twelve to be exact. That was nice of him, having seats for his enemies. He then made an elevator thingy for the others to get on. They crammed in because no one oneted to take turns. When the elevator opened again, they spilled out in one big pile and took their seats.
The mayor of Fillydelphia came up to the announcer stand and sighed, "This wasn't in the job description," he said before putting a fake smile on his face. "Hello citizens of Fillydelphia and our wonderful guests as well!" he announced into the microphone, "Welcome to a wonderful and exciting race for the fate of Equestria!"
The crowd started to cheer, throwing confetti and other party things in their unsurpassed excitement.
"This race is between Pinkamena Diane Pie, AKA Pinkie Pie and her family, Inky, Blinky, Granny, and Clyde!" he said, pointing to the only racer at the starting line. It was obviously Pinkie, "Uh..., where's the rest of them?"
"They should be around soon," Discord said, "Just give it some time."
"We don't have time though," the mayor said, a bit disgruntled that everything wasn't going according to plan. There was suddenly a small beep being heard from the distance, a little black buggy tooting along. "Well speak of the devil, there they are!"
The buggy made its way to the starting line and stopped there, the driver looking over to his left to see his daughter in her new car. The daughter looking over and waving weakly.
"Well then, with everything ready, it's time we get started!" the mayor said, "On your mark!"
The sound of engines reving was filling the starting area.
"Get set!"
The sound of buttons being pressed, clicking throughout the stands.
"GO!" he shouted as the flag was dropped.
Pinkie zoomed ahead, already getting a clear lead from her family who was just chugging along. It seemed they weren't taking this seriously at all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What are these pinheads doing!?" Gilda asked angrily, "She's getting so far ahead!"
A zipper then appeared on Gilda's mouth, zipping it shut, "Hush, give it time," Discord said, tapping his fingers together.
The girls were cheering Pinkie on as she turned corner after corner with little stopping.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dad?" Inky asked, "Why are you letting Pinkie get so far ahead? Why aren't you pressing the button?"
"Give it time, I don't trust technology and you know it," Clyde replied.
Granny Pie was just sitting there, knitting a sweater while Blinkie was flipping a few rocks in her hand. Inky sighed and took her seat again. On the outside, they turned another corner, not even a quarter of the way done with the track. Pinkie, meanwhile was already half way done with her first lap.
Pinkie looked in her mirrors and saw that they weren't even behind her. She was bracing herself for a trap and so she pressed a button, hundreds of cupcakes spilling out on the road, spreading out along the track, leaving very little moving room. She grinned and laughed, turning the last corner until the finish line.
When the Pies got to that point, they weren't even fazed by it, turning through it with no issue. They didn't slip or anything, they were just coursing through it. Once they finished, Clyde grinned evilly, as evilly as an Amish man could. Inky gasped, "Are we gonna press it? Can I do it?" she asked.
"Of course you can sweetheart," he said, moving his arm. Inky leaned in, pressing the button with a large smile.
As soon as the button was pressed, a compartment in the back opened up, a large tube coming out from it, pointing up and then back again, making a strange "z" shape. Then it unfolded, a giant jet engine coming out, the turbines spinning and a large blue flame igniting, sending them rocketing forward.
Granny Pie was still knitting her sweater, getting a sleeve done while Blinky pulled her head out of the car, her arm as well, having a stone in her hand. Inky flew back, not used to this speed, having never experienced it. They stil turned corners with ease, as if the jet engine turned to help them steer.
Pinkie finished her first lap before looking in her rear view mirror, seeing her family blaze towards her at a blinding speed. She tried to get out of the way to avoid collision only for her back bumper to be nicked, sending her spinning into the wall. She crashed into the hay stacks and was in a daze.
"Oh! Pinkie Pie with a head-on collision to the barrier walls! Is she okay?" the announcer proclaimed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girls gasped and shook their heads, some of them started to tear up, especially Fluttershy, "Oh my Faust...," Fluttershy said, her hands over her mouth.
"That is not cool," Rainbow Dash said, her head turned with one eye closed, the other one looking down towards the wreck.
"Pinkie has to be okay!" Twilight cheered, "She has to be...."
The opposing team was cackling uproariously, they knew that after this, victory was in the bag.
Or so they thought, Pinkie Pie backed up from the wall, her face of grim determination. She slammed on the pedal, her tires screeching as she let go of the breaks, her car jetting forward at breakneck speed. There was no chance in hell she would lose.
The girls started to bounce up and down, cheering, hugging each other tight. The villains were sighing, thinking that they had won. Still the race wasn't over and the Pies were already half way done with their second lap by the time Pinkie collected herself.
Pinkie turned the corner, her face one of grim determination. There was no way her parents would win, not if she had something to say about it. She kept going forward, turning quickly. She eventually reached her max speed and her family was still inching ahead of her. "I didn't want to do this..." she said, flipping up the case of a big, shiny red button. Pinkie wiggled her fingers and pressed it, a loud rumbling coming from the engine. The hood of the car flew off and the engine rose out of the compartment and started to spew fire. The engine was going into overdrive.
Her tires started to screech as she blasted forward even faster, screaming like she was on a rollar coaster, her hands off the wheel, using one of her feet to turn the wheel, the other one slammed on the gas pedal so she would keep the acceleration going.
She was going faster and faster, she didn't look like she was paying atttention and was nearing a head on collision with the wall when she grinned again, grabbing the steering wheel and made an incredibly sharp turn, the tires screeching, leaving a skid mark. No one taught her how to drift, but she did it almost naturally.
Her parents were just barely in front of her, constantly cutting her off, never allowing her past them and their insanely fast buggy. She then took advantage of the closest corner, sneaking by until she was side by side with her family, ramming them against the wall, "Tell me why you're doing this!" she cried, glaring at her father.
"You should know this Pinkamena! Just think!" he called.
Pinkie sighed, "No one calls me that anymore dad! Anyway, when I win, I want answers!"
"I'll tell you what we want when we win!" He then pressed harder on the pedal, going a bit farther. Pinkie did the same, getting off of them and zooming forward, crossing the finish line the second time with her family right behind her.
Pinkie grinned, "There is no way I can lose!" she said, pressing yet another button, a smoke screen of balloons popping out of the trunk. "Good luck getting past this!"
Clyde turned around, looking at little Blinky who stuck her head out of the car, taking aim with a sling shot, shooting a sharp rock at the balloons, popping them all.
Pinkie was out of gadgets and other than the jet and a bunch of rocks, they had nothing either. It was now just a race like no other. Twilight was smacking herself, wondering why she didn't have anything more. Stupid Twilight, stupid.
They kept turning and turning, it was neck and neck, the two were tied for what seemed like an eternity. They were even on each other when turning the corner. Now that's saying something. Regardless, they were at the home stretch when Pinikie smiled, remembering she had one last thing to use just for this. She pressed the last button and the already overdrived engine started to breathe fire like a dragon, speeding her up just enough to get the entire car past the buggy and thus finishing the race. She stopped the car with a screeching halt and jumped out, extremely proud of herself, the crowd cheering, throwing confetti when the girls and villians came down, the girls hugging Pinkie, the villains leaving without so much a word.
Pinkie hugged each girl and kissed Fluttershy before she just looked at her family, bracing herself and going over to them, "Alright, I want some answers," she said, crossing her arms and tapping her foot.
Clyde sighed, looking at Granny who had finished the sweater she was knitting, and then to Blinky and Inky looking down, their long hair covering their faces. He sighed and looked up towards his growing daughter, "We wanted you to come home.... We followed Discord just so you may come home.... With us," he said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"You.... Only did this so I could come home?" she asked, tearing up herself. Then she remembered, she hadn't been home since she left for Ponyville fifteen years ago. She then started bawling, hugging her father, grandmother and little sisters tight in one of her death hugs. "I'm so sorry! If I had realized I would have visited sooner! I thought you all hated me! For being different! If you really missed me you should have written me a letter!" she cried.
"Oh Pinkamena sweetheart, I could never hate my daughter!" he said, hugging tight, beginning to cry himself, the girls crying as well.
"I made this for you during the race Pinkamena, I figured you would win," Granny said, showing her the sweater. It said "Congrats on the win and welcome home!" Pinkie sense didn't just come to her you know. Her Granny Pie always seemed to know what would happen, just like her. They all went into a big group hug and Pinkie smiled wider than she ever had before. They were her family and they always would be.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Congratulations to the winner Pinkie Pie! Both sides tried as hard as they could, but Pinkie came out victorious in the end!" the mayor called out through the speaker. "Thank God the race is over, now I can continue on with my regular life," he said to himself.
Discord poofed back right behind Twilight, "Oh, right, I almost forgot, the next race is in Appalooza, we've picked Flim and Flam, make your choice Twilight Sparkle," he said, grinning a bit before cackling louder than ever, "These two will give you a run for your money!" He then left with another poof.
"Well then, I guess it's time to go home and prepare," Twilight said, nodding a bit.
"And we'll be back to root you girls on," Clyde said, the rest of the family nodding, "I'm sorry for causing any greif."
"It's fine, we just need to focus on the now," she said, looking at the group, "Alright, well then, let's go home."
