//------------------------------// // Part 4 // Story: Dashies Old Friend Returns // by Junster00741 //------------------------------// Part 4 When the sun came up Fluttershy and I woke up and did the same thing like yesterday. Feed the animals, eat breakfast and just hang out. We decided to go out and hang out with the others today since we were tired of staying home. We went to Applejack’s and did some apple bucking, then we went to Pinkie's to make some treats. Applejack decided to go with us, so did Pinkie and we made our way towards Rarity's to see if she's been making any new outfits. Surprisingly she had nothing to do so she joined us and we headed to Twilight's place. We read and talked about random things then we went to Rainbow's house to see if she would want to race. We came up to her house but she wasn't there then I heard her voice and saw her flying around doing some tricks. I yelled out her name which threw off her concentration and she plummeted to the ground. Luckily she didn't hurt herself too badly and I asked her if she wanted to race. She dusted herself off and said yes immediately. She seemed pretty excited and told me to gather all of Ponyville and we'll have the best race ever. She said we were going to start from the Everfree Forest and finish at Gasle Gorge. I posted the posters and we waited at the forest. At first nopony showed up then of course Scootaloo showed up with her fanclub then all of Ponyville. I even saw Derpy and her friend but I couldn't find Fluttershy or the others. Must be waiting at the finish line. "You ready!" yelled Rainbow. I readied my wings, "Yeah! Lets do this!" We prepared ourselves and waited for the siren to go off. "3....2....1.....GO!" said the siren. We jetted into the sky and quickly flew out the Everfree Forest and made our way to Ponyville. There I could see ponies cheering us on as we past Town Hall. Rainbow and I were neck and neck but I was slightly falling behind but I was able to keep a steady speed. We then came to Gastle Gourge where we started going faster. We came up against the cave but we breezed through that easily and avoided the quarae eels with little trouble and got through the thorn trees like nothing. We then came up to the finish line where we went all out and rainboom speed together. We were so close I couldn't tell who was going to win. We crossed the finish line and literally broke through the wall that was behind it. We went pretty far because we made a cave deep enough we couldn't see the way out but luckily there was only one way out. "Uh...You think we overdid it?" "Are you kidding!? That was the best race EVER!" cheered Rainbow. We laugh and made our way out of the cave. When we came out everypony was silent but when they saw us walk out they went crazy and started cheering for both of us. Fluttershy and the others came out and congratulated us on the race but nopony knew who won. We decided it was a tie since it was such an awesome race. Nopony argued about it and they just cheered on. They then literally carried us back all the way back to Ponyville and gave us medals for best flyers. Even though it was just a tie they were so excited it was crazy. Then Scootaloo came up to us and ask for autographs. She was the most excited out of everypony because her eyes were so big when we gave her the autographs. She then said that she would like to start a fanclub about me and I felt honored. After all that was over everypony left and went back to their daily lives. Fluttershy and the others came up to us and said congrats again. "Your were amazing!" applaud Fluttershy. "Its was so awesome that I couldn't tell who was going to win!" commented Pinkie. She began hopping around and said a lot of randoms things about the race. "Truly spectacular!" added Rarity. "You two are truly the best flyers in all of Equestria!" cheered Twilight. "Hope your next race will be as exciting as this one!" added Applejack. We felt so honored that we started blushing with embarrassment. After that was over we all decided to go home. While Fluttershy and I were walking back home Fluttershy was going on about the race and how much fun it must've been. I've never seen her this happy before, she’s just going on and on about the race and saying how awesome it was. It’s a relief to not think about the plan that’s coming up in 3 days. Once we got back we went to the kitchen and Fluttershy made me some food. I was starving since I was flying my hardest the whole day. That was literally the best race we ever had. After we ate we went to bed, I was really tired after today's events. We climbed into bed and I quickly fell asleep. Only 3 days until I go back and look for Rainbow's old friend. I just hope he's ok and that I'll be able to come back.
