Go-Karts

Nothing else matters now. This is all out war. Look at her up there, not a care in the world! Who does she think she is?! After what she just did to me!?
"You're going down Rarity!" I scream forward at her as I slam my hoof down. The motor roars to life, and I feel the cart kick back as I pick up speed. I have to catch up now. I have too!

No chance to get around her. She's smart. Drives like a natural. And I may just be in shock, but I do believe she is drifting the corners! Oh that show off!
Wait? Is that... It is! An opening! She's too wide on this corner. I slam down on the accelerator, feeling the purr turn into a feral roar that sings with my soul. I'm close to her now, no room for err. A bump!
No, a nudge! Twilight is trying to keep me behind her! The nerve. But it back fires! I was so close to the wall, I had nowhere to go, but Twilight lost control for a second. I take my chance, and push on past. I hear Twilight bellowing at me, but she can scream all she wants. I am now in the lead.

Rarity's arrogant. She'll make a mistake soon. I just have to focus, and keep my head in the game. I can now respect why Rainbow loves to fly so fast. Speed is... it's amazing. Like no drug could ever hope to be. I know I'm not going that fast, but this little cart just feels so alive, how could I not fall in love with this?
Rarity's in the next turn now, and I see my chance. I get in close to her, coming up on the outside. She sees me, and moves to block, opening herself up for a pass on the inside! I take the pocket and push up to nose and nose with Rarity! I look over, expecting to see her scowling at me. But no... She's laughing. Her mane is being tossed around so effortlessly. There looks to be so much life in those eyes of Azure blue... She's so eloquent at everything she does. She pushes past me to the finish now. I hardly notice.

"Oh my gosh!" I laugh as I pull into the corral. "That was amazing! We have to go again!"
I jump out of my cart, and see Twilight pulling up. The lavender mare looks determined now. Sore loser much? She wastes no time in getting out of her cart and striding up to me. I can't help but laugh. I mean really, what does she expect?
"Did you have fun?" I ask her with a giggle. She wastes no time as I see her lips flick upwards into a smile. I begin to chuckle as I wave my hoof at her, but something catches my hoof, pulling me into Twilight. Without a word or anything, she pulls me close to her, and takes my chin with her mana.
The next thing I feel, is bliss.

My heart rate is going a million miles an hour. My nerves are like steel though. The speed is perfect. My timing, flawless. I take Rarity's lips to the inside, and I clench the pocket. The race now is over for the carts, but for me and the white mare that beat me and my flawless record, the new race is just beginning. Now it's a race to the finish, with neither participant keen to ever collect that checkered flag. Tongues dance around each other, purrs turn into primal roars in my mind as the adrenaline mixes with my endorphin. But sadly, this race too must come to a close, but only because any longer and we'll both pass out from the lack of air...

"Loads." Twilight pants as she breaks her lips away from mine. "Did you?"
"Uh huh." I manage. "But I do believe the race track personnel are now quite upset with us..." I state as I take a glance to the two officials for the ride glaring at us.
"I'm seeing a lot of angry parents actually..." Twilight muttered looking to our other side. So with a bashful look, we start to exit.
"Tea cup ride?" Twilight suggests.
"I was wondering how many attractions we could banned from today." I laughed.
"Why not go for them all?" Twilight asks coyly as she slips in next to me, taking me on the inside once again today. But was only fair, I started it after all.
