//------------------------------// // Test Run // Story: Ponykarts: The Grand Canterlot Race // by LikeaBaws //------------------------------// "And...their off!" Derpy says as they take off to the track. Derpy faces the camera with a smile and whispers, "What the racers don't know is that this is a test run. So this race does not count. Teehee!" She giggles and waves of the camera. Okay, this is how it goes down. See this map? This map is a test run. The orange ? is those boost things. We didn't find anything with a rainbow, so we used question marks. The yellow dots are the mystery question mark things. Or...these things. Those white things behind the start line is where the starters race. But it looks like Rainbow is in the lead! She was in fear at first, but when she ran into it, her item bar was randomly moving. "Huh?" Rainbow was absolutely confused until it landed on the banana. She was given a banana out of thin air. All this winning is making her hungry. She ate the banana, like only half of it, and threw it behind her. Gilda, who was right behind her, fell for the banana trick and slid off the track. "You cheated you noob!" Gilda yelled. Rainbow heard that voice from somewhere, but where? It sounds so familiar. Forget it-OH NOO!! Rainbow tried to make a hard right turn, but only to collide with the wall. Her handle wasn't that great and lead her into hitting the wall. Pinkie came in as well and collided with her kart. "Oh...hi Dashie!" Pinkie says. Fluttershy was now in the lead. But she ran into the item box. Fluttershy stuck her tongue out in cuteness and kept going. The bar landed on a three red ugly mushrooms. Fluttershy held the three out-of-nowhere mushrooms and threw all three of them in her engine. The kart sped up and Fluttershy cheered...softly. Trixie was in 7th place and Twilight was in 8th. They both ran into the item list and they both smiled. Twilight earned the squid and Trixie earned the lighting. Twilight saw Trixie up ahead and she was shocked. "Trixie! Is that you?" Twilight asked. "Shut it, Sparkle! Trixie will win this race and prove that I am better than you." Trixie says. "Than I hope you can survive this!" Twilight says. A squid came out of nowhere and flew upwards for his buddies. All the squids came on each kart (not including Twilight's) and sprayed in the ponies eyes...and griffons eyes...and dragons. "My eyes!" Trixie said painfully and crashed into the wall. Mostly everypony, dragon, and griffon crashed into the wall but Twilight. "Don't hate me!" Twilight says with a smirk. Trixie held up her lighting and shrunk everypony, but not herself. She tried to wipe the ink away, but it just smeared all over her eyes. "Agh! It burns!" Trixie complained. Spike, however, recovered from the ink and tried to get in first place. But his tiny...ness...was making him slow. "Oh, c'mon!" Spike complained in his chipmunk voice. He was clearly in third place, and behind Applebloom, but since her kart was small as well as her, she looked like an ant. "Oh horse apples!" Applebloom complained. All the tiny drivers was still trying to get the ink out, except for Spike, and they all sat down for a break and tried to clean their eyes. Spike's kart turned regular again and he cheered. "Aw yeah! Twilight, you better be ready!" Spike says as he brought out his special weapon. Twilight caught up to Fluttershy and passed her. "Sorry, Fluttershy, but the money is mine!" Twilight says. A shadow formed above her, and she looked up. It was a blue turtle shell with wings. Her face of excitement quickly turned into sadness as it collided with Twilight's kart. Her kart did a from flip and her engine momentarily stopped working. Spike came in and passed Twilight with a smirk as he shouted, "Hope you like your gift!" All of the ponies and griffon finally got the ink out and started driving again. However, Luna caught up to Big Mac and she was happy. "Are thou as excited as thy am?!" Luna asked Big Mac. "Eeyup!" Big Mac says. "Wait...so why do they call you Big Mac?" Luna asked. Big Mac brought out the mega mushroom and...ate it. Big Mac literally was big (as well as his kart) and pushed all the racers away and Luna was shocked. "Now I see why they call you Big Mac. But your precious hostility won't stop me!" Luna says. She brought out her King Mushroom and shoved it in her engine. Luna kept hitting the boost button and her kart was going at a ridiculously fast rate. She past Mega Mac and came in 5th place, just behind Scootaloo. Scoot was having a hard time passing Pinkie Pie. "Excuse me, Pinkie Pie, but your gonna have to move someday!" Scoot says. "Sorry, but I need to win this." Pinkie sang. "Fine, be that way." Scoot says. She ran into the mystery box and earned herself a bad cloud. She rammed into Pinkie and laughed. "Have fun!" Scoot said as she slowed down her speed. Pinkie lashed around in fear and the cloud zapped once. Twice. ZAP Pinkie shrunk once again and she was squashed by Scootaloo. "Sorry I had to do that to you!" Scootaloo said as she ran over Pinkie. "It's fine!" Pinkie said as her eyes spun around. "Final Lap!" Derpy said. Fluttershy picked up the item box and it spun on a red turtle. She hit Twilight, who somehow was in First Place, and she launched the red shell at Twilight. She was directly hit at the engine and she drifted around the corner. She regain her posture and laughed. "Hah! You failed!" Twilight says. "Um...sorry to say, but I have two more." Fluttershy says. She launches another shell and forces Twilight to be attack and slow down. Spike came in after that as well as Scoot. Spike smiled with greedy...ness, until he saw a Bullet Bill from behind. Rarity came out of the Bullet Bill and smirked. "Did you really forget about me?" Rarity asked with a smirk. That is, until Sweetie Belle came in like a freaking sugar rush on her Star meds. "WOOHOO!!" Sweetie Belle said. She pushed everypony, even Fluttershy out of the way and finished the lap. "Sweetie Belle's the winner!" Derpy says. All the others came in and they saw the list from top to bottom. 1st Sweetie Belle 2nd Fluttershy 3rd Spike 4th Scootaloo 5th Rarity 6th Luna 7th Rainbow Dash 8th Big Mac 9th Twilight Sparkle 10th Applebloom 11th Celestia 12th Pinkie Pie 13th Applejack 14th Trixie 15th Gilda "Woah...Gilda...your here?!" Rainbow asked. "Why is she so slow?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I AM NOT SLOW!!" Gilda yelled. "Do I win the million bits?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Nope!" Derpy said. All the ponies were shocked at this. "So this whole race was for nothing?! YOU BETTER HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS YOU SCUMBAG PONY!!" Gilda yelled. "Calm down, keep you beak shut." said Derpy with a calm tone. "This was just a test run. It was showing you who to look out for." "We'll, Gilda here is slow." Rainbow taunted. "YOU BETTER WATCH YOU BACK, RAINBOW DASH!! I'M GONNA HUNT YOU DOWN AFTER THIS!!" Gilda yelled. "The real race is over there." Derpy pointed at the other track, filled with deadly lasers, fire, spikes, those Mario crushing enemies, and different places and themes, and ponies ready to throw junk at them. The ponies jaws were dropped and they looked back at Derpy. "Race begins in an hour, so repair your kart and get ready for the race of your life's." Derpy ordered. She flew away and left everyone stunned, until a few seconds later, they went to prepare their karts. The real race begins soon...
