Prologue: Right Before Your Eyes

The orange unicorn stands at the top of the ramp and looks down.  The ramp would get him and his magic powered motor bike up to speeds surpassing all but the fastest pegasi.  He’d done the math himself, he should land on the ramp at the other side of Ghastly Gorge with room to spare.  He scanned the crowd below and looked for the one pony he cared about in the whole world, and then he saw her, his little filly an orange pegasus with a purple mane clutching to a scooter that she had used to get there.  “That’s my girl.” he says to himself as he straps on his helmet and straightens the collar on his leather jacket.

The crowd starts chanting his name. “Danger! Danger!”

‘Danger’ went to the motor bike and charged it with his magic. “One last time, for Scootaloo.” he climbs onto the glowing motor bike and immediately starts down the hill.  He feels it about the time he comes off the ramp, he looks over to his daughter, and takes one hoof of the handlebars of the motor bike and waves to her.  The crowd cheers thinking that it’s for them, but Scootaloo knows, and she quickly looks away as the motor bike slams into the side of the gorge.
