"Go!!!!!!!!"

We flue as we were one unit. I was holding back though keeping just behind Rainbow dash in ground mode.

"Your'e pritty good kid," Rainbow Dash taunted, "Let's see if you can keep up with a sonic rainboom." she said accelerating.

"Mock one coming right up," I said as the arctics' wheels were replaced with a pair of basic wings. With that done we both pulled a sonic boom, Rainbow Dash being followed by a rainbow streak, myself followed by a trail of shadows.

"You may have a sonic rainboom but i still have a double sonic shadowboom to preform and perfect," I said with tears starting to flow because of the acceleration rate. The first bend was coming up, and fast so i started into an air slide still at mock one.

"I was taking it easy on you now time fore some show-off time," I said when we rounded the only bend. I hit the breaks to make it look like I was bluffing. When she was out of sight I hit the acceleration shifting into overdrive. The engine screamed in disapproving approval when I shot into mock two leaving a double black fire ring behind me every five seconds.

I caught up to Rainbow dash easily and was still going strong in mock two.

"Goodbye!" I said when a double black ring of fire appeared at front of rainbow dash catching her off guard when she spiraled back to a lower altitude still not touching the ground. Witch she used to her advantage accelerating even more then it happened.

A double sonic rainboom.

I only held the lead long enough just to win the race by one centimeter. With one of the news.. er mares pictures as proof.

"Using a disadvantage to your advantage, I like your style of thinking rainbow dash." I said walking up to her.

She was only able to say "Thanks that was a good race" before passing out.

"Ok her new title is fastest natural born flyer in equestria," I said trying to lighten the mood, "now where should I take her, because all this is is exhaustion setting in from the race after breaking her limits."

"She can sleep at my place if you don't mind," Fluttershy said.

"That would be great seeing as Twilight still has some questions so she hopefully won't mind me sleeping over," I reasoned.

"That would actually work how did you figure that out so quickly," Twilight said.

"The power of deduction is a mighty power we all have, but some still refuse to use," I retaliated turning toward Rarity. "Now if you could make me some 'better' clothes I would be most grateful," I said in my best 'high class' voice.

"It would be my pleasure darling just stop by at noon tomorrow,"

"Again thank you and I look forward to it." I said as we all went our separate ways, but I was feeling remnants of the adrenalin from the race almost gone as we neared Twilights' library. When we entered my adrenalin wore off causing me to pass out but not before saying, "Sorry not tonight, maybe in the morning."
