“Wh-What do you mean you’re blind?” Fluttershy asked in hysteria as she stared in disbelief at the short, filthy looking girl in her driver’s seat as the car they were in continued to pick up speed.
“Exactly what you think it means! It involves me not seeing a god damn thing with my eyes…duhhhh!” Dash dryly replied as if this wasn’t a problem as she let off the accelerator a bit to keep the car from going over the rev limit. “Might want to tell me the next corner by the way…” She then suggested in a calm and somewhat playful tone as she raised her right hand off the steering wheel and pointed in front of her. Fluttershy blinked rapidly as her mind struggled to take in the whole situation. She slowly looked forward and saw the next turn quickly approaching them.
“It’s a wide hundred and thirty five degree left turn with no dirt on the inside!” The terrified pink haired girl explained in a shout as she recoiled in her seat and grabbed onto the door, holding onto it for dear life. “Turn now now now!” She then screamed in horror as she nudged her head to the left as if that would direct the blind girl next to her as the car entered the turn.
“Got it!” The cocky short girl replied with a smirk as she moved the steering wheel to the left and turned to car, not increasing or decreasing her speed as they went through the turn close to the inside wall. Fluttershy held her breath and hoped with all her might that she wouldn’t wreck her car and seriously injure them both. She looked around and was amazed to see that the girl driving seemed to angle the car perfectly to throughout the turn. Staying on a line and not deviating from it whatsoever.
“You’re coming out of the turn now! Straighten out!” The passenger then declared as she looked ahead and saw the exit to the turn. The sunglasses wearing girl nodded with the smirk still on her face as she turned the wheel back to its original position and exited the turn still on what felt like a perfect line.
“Ok, next turn please…” Dash then cheekily asked in anticipation as she resisted the urge to upshift and gain more speed to see how fast she could possibly go.
“No, stop the car now!” Fluttershy denied in a stern tone as she looked over at the driver with a serious look on her face.
“What? Are you kidding me? It’s been too long since I’ve been behind the wheel of car! There’s no way I’m stopping!” The driver resisted with almost a laugh as she shook her head and kept her foot on the accelerator instead of stopping like Fluttershy asked.
“Are you crazy? You can’t drive without your sight! You could wreck and kill us both!” The white NSX owner pointed out in disbelief, concerned for their safety. Dash didn’t immediately reply and tapped her finger on the steering wheel seemingly annoyed by the girl’s claim.
“Uhhh next corner please…” She seriously asked in a low tone as she completely disregarded what the taller girl had said. Fluttershy quickly looked forward and again saw the next turn rapidly approaching. She had no choice but to describe it to her since there was apparently no hope of her stopping.
“It’s a wide one hundred and twenty degree right turn that’s got tons of dirt towards the inside!” Fluttershy described, not sounding as frantic or feeling as terrified as before as they got closer and closer to the curve. “Turn now!” She then seriously instructed as she pointed at the turn.
Dash made no response whatsoever and simply moved the steering wheel to the right instinctually and turned the car into the curve. Fluttershy once again looked around and noticed how they seemed to be on a perfect line, getting as close to the dirt covered inside as possible without touching it. She was still scared for her life, however a part of her couldn’t help but be impressed, and for some reason comfortable with how the girl next to her was driving.
“Ok, straighten out now!” She then instructed as she saw the exit to the corner coming up. Dash once again without any kind of response gently turned the steering wheel back to its original position and straightened the white car out as it came out of the turn and onto a very long stretch of road.
“See…we’re still alive aren’t we?” The driver then confidently said with a grin as she turned her head to face Fluttershy, or at least the general direction of her.
“Thankfully! But who knows when you’ll turn too much or too less and crash into-”
“Oversteer and understeer…” The dirty haired girl corrected in a serious tone as she turned her head back to face forward even though it didn’t really matter given her lack of sight.
“Huh?” Fluttershy simply stated in confusion as she arched an eyebrow and tilted her head at the girl.
“It’s driving terms…” She began continuing her serious tone as she raised her right off the steering wheel and held it straight above the dashboard.
“Oversteer is when you turn too much or hard and spin out or hit a wall…” She then started to explain as she moved her hand closer towards herself before abruptly stopping and making a ‘boom’ sound effect as if her hand was the car and it suddenly hit something.
“Understeer is when you don’t turn enough and hit the outside wall, trees, or nothing if it’s cliff.” She continued as she returned her hand back to the center of the dashboard before moving it closer to Fluttershy complete with a ‘whoosh’ sound effect as it feel off an imaginary cliff.
“So next time when you’re talking about turning, say understeer and oversteer instead of turning too much or too less…” She then suggested as she returned her hand to the steering wheel.
“Whatever! The point is its way too dangerous for you to be driving without you seeing the road! So please stop!” Fluttershy shrugged off before once again insisting on her stopping the car.
“Oh I can see the road just fine…” Dash arrogantly corrected as a smirk reappeared on her face.
“W-What?” Fluttershy stuttered in disbelief as her eyes started to widen.
“What’s the next corner?” The driver asked in response as she nudged her head forward towards the road in front of them. Fluttershy quickly looked forward and saw the next turn that was still a little ways away from them.
“A somewhat sharp a hundred degree turn with lots of dirt on the inside…” She rather calmly explained now feeling the extreme pressure as before since the turn wasn’t really directly in front of them like the last few turns.
“There, I can now see it perfectly in my mind…and as long as I have that there’s no turn around that can best me!” Dash confidently responded with an ever growing smile as she raised her right hand from the steering wheel and tapped the side of her head with her index finger. “Oh and I have to know when to turn of course…” She then said as if almost forgetting that important detail as she moved her finger and vaguely pointed it in Fluttershy’s direction. The passenger quickly looked back forward and now saw the turn almost directly in front of them.
“Turn now!” She shouted upon realizing they had already entered the turn. Dash quickly moved the steering wheel like before and once again turned the car perfectly through the turn although a bit close to the outside guardrail due to the delayed instructions from the passenger.
“You’re too close to the outside…turn towards the inside some more.” Fluttershy calmly pointed out as the fear inside her quickly subsided more and more. The driver nodded in response and turned the wheel more to move the car closer to the inside. “And straighten out now!’ The pink haired girl then instructed as they came to the exit of the turn, making Dash straighten the wheel out and comfortable bring the car out of the turn like before.
“See…as long as you are on your game, there is no way I’ll come close to touching anything…” The drive confidently reassured as she raised her hand, snapped her fingers, and pointed at Fluttershy as if using her as proof in her argument.
“This is still crazy! I…I can’t let you drive like this…so…so please…just…” The frantic girl tried to persuade as she reached out and grabbed the hand that was pointing to her. Dash gasped slightly in surprise, not expecting her hand to be grabbed. Then she sighed and lowered her head a bit.
“Alright…if that’s what you want…” She then reluctantly replied in a soft tone as she let off the accelerator and began to slow down.
“Thank you…” Fluttershy gratefully thanked with a sigh of relief as she finally convinced the crazy, blind girl to stop the car.
“But…remember what I said earlier?” Dash then began still in her soft voice, catching Fluttershy’s attention back on upset looking girl. “I said for you to trust me…” The short girl reminded her as her hand still in Fluttershy’s hand began to relax and unfold.
“Yeah…but…” Fluttershy began, trying to think of a nice way to phrase her statement. She didn’t want to upset her by pointing out that it was before she found out she was blind and therefore not liable to ever drive a car.
“And even if you didn’t know I couldn’t see, you still let a complete stranger you never met before get behind the wheel of your car…something inside of you compelled you to have faith in me…and now I’m asking that part of you again to keep trusting me and believe that we’ll be fine…” Dash explained calmly as she turned her head to face Fluttershy’s general direction and moved her hand around to grab on to Fluttershy’s, making the pink haired girl gasp and widen her eyes.
“So please...relax…we’ll be fine…” She then finished as a smile formed on her lips while still gripping Fluttershy’s hand. Fluttershy’s cyan eyes and lips quivered at the sight before her and was touched by that display but still…she couldn’t let a blind girl drive her car. They could both get seriously injured if they crash, she had to say-
“Ok…” The timid girl said in a whisper; that one word finding a way to escape her lips beyond her control as she gripped the shorter girl’s hand as well. She blinked a few times and reached up with her free hand to touch her lips in disbelief. ‘Did…Did I really just say that?’ She mused to herself in shock as she felt Dash let go of her hand and return it to the steering wheel.
“Thanks…” The driver simply thanked in gratitude as she faced her head forward and pressed down on the accelerator, getting the car back up to speed. “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this.” She continued back in her normal confident tone as her smile now turned into a smug smirk.
“And how much I would appreciate to know what the next turn is.” She then finished in a more serious tone which snapped Fluttershy out of her thoughts and focus back on the road before her and the upcoming turn.
“A wide right hundred and twenty degree turn…nothing on the inside, but it’s inclined towards the inside a bit.” Fluttershy detailed as she returned her hands back to their original positions to keep herself steady in the car as it went faster and faster, getting closer to the turn.
“Turn now!” She then shouted as the car entered the turn. Dash nodded and quickly turned the steering wheel, moving the car through the turn and getting it very close to the guardrail. “And now straighten out.” The passenger then instructed as the exit came up. The driver obliged and straightened the steering wheel out and moved the white NSX out of the turn and onto the straight.
“Ok now that we got the basics down let’s try going faster…” Dash confidently said as she reached her hand down to the stick shift. “A lot faster…” She added with a nod as she pressed down on the clutch with her left foot and then moved the stick shift into third gear.
“Hella fast to be precise…” She finished in an arrogant tone as she let off the clutch and pressed down on the accelerator, making the engine roar and the car going at speeds Fluttershy never dared to venture even on the highways.
“S-Slow down! It’s bad enough that I’m letting you drive, but if you’re going this fast then we’re certain to wreck!” Fluttershy warned frantically as she felt herself be pushed against the seat as the car rapidly accelerated.
“No we won’t…like I said we’ll be fine as long as you tell me the turns!’ Dash shrugged off as she raised her right hand off the steering wheel and waved it at her dismissively.
“Yeah, but by the time I tell you to turn you’ll be going too fast to react and we’ll hit the wall…or worse!” The frightened, pink haired girl pointed out as she started to breath heavily; the next turn was already fast approaching, but she knew it wouldn’t matter if they were going too fast for the driver to react.
“Count it down for me…” Dash replied seriously as she lowered her hand down to the stick shift and upshifted into four gear, now going way too fast for Fluttershy’s liking.
“What are you talking about?” Fluttershy frantically asked in confusion as looked at the dirty haired driver.
“Countdown from three…this will let me know how far we’re away from the turn and how I should react…” The sunglasses wearing girl further explained as she pointed her hand in front of her.
“You…You want me to what?” The cyan eyed passenger asked in disbelief. “I…I…I can’t do that…it…it’s just impossible!” She then stammered as she forced her eyes shut. She knew she couldn’t accurately judge the distance between them, the turn, the time allotted before they reach each turn. It was just too much for her!
“You can do it…I know you can…” The short girl in the driver’s seat calmly stated, making Fluttershy open her eyes back up and look at her surprised. “Look, you’re putting your trust in me to drive…and I’m also putting my trust in you to be my eyes.” She then explained gently as she gripped the steering wheel tightly, knowing full well the risks involved doing this and going ahead anyways.
“I know you can do this…I trust you just as much as you trust me…” She then finished with a comforting smile on her face. Even though she was facing the road, it still reassured Fluttershy enough to take a deep breath and nod her head.
“Alright Dash…I-I’ll try…” The pink haired girl weakly replied as she slowly turned her head back to the road and at the upcoming turn that was fast approaching the front of their car.
“It’s a wide one hundred and fifty degree left turn with lots of dirt completely covering the first lane.” She began, thoroughly describing the turn ahead of them as it continued to get closer and closer.
“Alright…sounds like some light braking with a downshift back into third gear…easy…” Dash replied with a nod as she moved her hand back down to the stick shift.
Fluttershy eyed the turn and the distance between it and the front of the NSX, judging the time it would take in her head before the car entered the turn. “You’ll be entering it in three…two…one…” She then counted down when felt the car was close enough to start the count down, hoping deep down with all her might that she was right with her mental estimate. When she said one, Dash moved her foot over to the brake and slowed the car down before pressing down on the clutch and moving the car back into third gear.
Fluttershy noticed that and felt the car slow down and waited a very short moment to accommodate for their drop in speed, so she didn’t tell her to turn too soon or else they’d be heading towards the inner guard rail. “Turn!” She then shouted when she felt that the moment was right.
Dash turned the wheel as soon as she heard the girl next to her scream that word and moved the car through the turn in the outer lane. Fluttershy bit her lip and stiffened her arms and legs to keep herself as stable as possible as the car quickly went through the turn. The timid girl couldn’t help but be a little amazed at how perfectly the car was going through the turn and was a slightly proud of herself that she helped accomplish this. She was actually doing it; she was helping the girl next to her and for the first time since she got in the passenger’s seat, her lips began to slightly curve into a smile.
“Ok, you’re coming out of the turn now…” The cyan eyed girl informed the driver as she saw the exit to the turn coming up. The dirty girl quickly straightened the steering wheel and easily brought the car out of the turn and onto the straight, gently opening up the accelerator as she did.
“See? I told ya you could do it!” Dash congratulated happily as the car gained speed; the engine roaring behind them as its RPMs went up. “That wasn’t so hard was it?” She then cheekily asked with a smirk as she moved her hand down to the stick shift.
“Actually, it was…if you made one little mistake…or if I made one little mistake…we’d both be wrapped around a tree trunk right now!” Fluttershy pointed out nervously as she was still thinking that this was going to end up horribly, though deep down now starting to worry about something else.
“Yeah, but we didn’t...so calm down…” The driver shrugged off in a dismissive tone as she let off the accelerator, pressed the clutch with her left foot, and moved the stick shift to fourth gear with her hand. “Don’t sweat it…as long as you do your part we’ll get through this perfectly fine…” She then said confidently as she let off the clutch and pressed down accelerator again, gaining more speed.
“I don’t know if I should be more concerned about getting in a wreck or letting you down…” Fluttershy softly whispered as she looked down slightly, admitting a fear that was quickly growing inside her.
“What was that?” The girl wearing sunglasses asked cheekily, not really concerned about what she said and assuming it was something positive.
“It’s nothing…” The pink haired girl replied, shrugging off her earlier statement with a shake of her head. ‘I don’t know…but the thought of letting this girl down is more upsetting than anything else…’ She mentally thought as she continued looking down at the floorboard, now feeling more confused about her feelings than the thought of crashing in a horrific fireball.
‘Why though…why am I feeling like this to a complete stranger…’ She asked herself as she closed her eyes, struggling to come to terms with these thoughts. ‘I’m acting and feeling as though we’re friends despite the fact that all I really did was offer to drive her someplace…is that all it takes for me to completely trust somebody and feel like this? Maybe I’m more of a weak pushover than I thought…’ She mused as she started to feel a bit depressed for acting like this, feeling as though she would help somebody rob their apartment if they sounded somewhat pleasant.
“Yo, you there?” The girl next to her asked a bit rudely as Fluttershy felt a tap on her arm which broke her line of thinking.
“Oh…right…sorry…” The timid girl apologized as she shook her head to get her focused on the task at hand. “Ok, the next turn…” She then began seriously as she moved her gaze back to the road to look and at the next upcoming curve to detail it for the girl next to her.
About third into the pass was a small turnoff that led to a parking lot next to a hiking trail. There was also a large platform next to the two lane road that observers could go up to if they wanted to see the trees and nature. Though that was during the day, at night it was the perfect place for spectators and officials to go to watch races. Though at the moment it was still a little early and because of that only one car was parked in the empty parking lot with one man pacing in front of the car.
“Caramel…what the hell’s taking you so long?” A tall, athletic, black man with white hair asked angrily, looking at the open passenger side door to his completely black Plymouth Hemi Cuda.
“I just now found the radio…” The guy inside the car responded as a hand stuck out from the car, holding up a small handheld radio. “I haven’t found the stopwatch yet...though…” He then said as he got out of the car.
“I’ll find it before the races start though…” The average sized, thin, white guy with brown hair said as he raised his hand and shut the door to the large car. “You seriously need to clean your car out though man…it’s disgusting…” He then suggested as he turned to face the taller black man with his light blue eyes.
“Tsk…you sound like my little brother Rumble…look it’s my car, and I’ll treat it however I feel like…” The owner of the car gruffly dismissed with a wave of his hand as the slightly shorter guy began to walk up to the white haired guy.
“And that’s probably why you keep coming to me to fix it…” Caramel teased as he walked past the rear of the car and past the picture of a thundercloud with a lightning bolt shooting out of it that was on the back fender of the car.
The taller guy narrowed his displeased yellow eyes at the shorter male, but before he could make some kind of comeback the faint sound of an engine started to ring out from the distance. As it got louder, the faint sound of two more engines began to be heard. “Yo Thunderlane…we got some cars coming…” Caramel pointed out as he walked past the taller guy, patting him on the shoulder.
The white haired man nodded in understanding and turned to follow him to the edge of the small parking lot. They both quickly rushed up the stairs to the over-watch platform overlooking the two lane road. As they both reached the railing at the edge of the platform, the lights of a car appeared down the two lane road. The lights got brighter and moved before the sight of a car came around the corner and quickly sped towards their overlook. When it got close enough it drove under a few of the street lamps to reveal its black coloring.
“An R34…” Thunderlane commented, recognizing the shape and look of the black Skyline as it quickly passed the turnoff point that led to the parking lot and then passed them. The engine screamed as it whizzed past them before stopping hard and turning a hard left through the turn, shaking and almost skidding out of control while doing so.
Both the guys winced in pain at the sight of the car moving terribly through the turn and out of their sights. “Dude was that Nightmare Moon?” The black man asked almost sounding like he wanted to throw up as he turned to face the shorter man.
“No way…the Princess of the Night hasn’t used that car since she got her new GT-R.” Caramel denied quickly with a quick shake of his head. “Besides she’d never drive like that…must’ve been somebody else.” He then pointed out as he folded his arms and looked at the taller black man.
“Twilight?” Thunderlane simply said as he cocked his head a bit, naming a likely candidate to be driving the black Nissan.
“Please, not even she would drive that badly…even if she’s a novice she’s a skilled novice…” Caramel denied with a chuckle as he once again shook his head. “My guess…Blueblood…” He then theorized before both the guys turned their heads to look down the road again as the sounds of the two other cars got louder.
After a minute, lights began to appear at the end of the road, and soon two cars slowly appeared from out of the corner. The two guys raised their eyebrow as the grey civic and brown RX-8 slowly drove under the lights and almost hit each other. Caramel put his hand to his face as the two cars went past the turn off point and then slowly passed them entering the turn. The RX-8 in back turned violently and almost hit the inside wall and the civic in front turned almost too late and hit the outside wall. Both the guys on the platform shook their heads in disgust as the sliding and unstable cars disappeared around the wide left turn.
“An RX-8 and EJ8…” The white haired guy said with a groan, naming the cars that sluggishly passed them.
“Hoops and Score…Blueblood’s goons…” The brown haired guy next to him added, naming off the people who owned those cars. “Told ya it was him…” He then said with a smile as he looked at the black man again, using those two as evidence to his earlier theory.
Thunderlane opened his mouth to say something back but stopped when the sound of another engine came into hearing distance. “Sounds like another car is coming.” He pointed out before both guys looked back down the road as the engine quickly got louder and louder.
“Geez, whoever it is sounds like they’re really hauling ass…” Caramel commented as the loud roar of the engine continued to escalate. The lights from the car quickly appeared shortly afterwards followed by the sight of the car quickly turning the corner and speeding down the road. It took mere seconds for the car to get under the lights of streetlamps, causing both the guys’ eyes to go wide in shock when it did.
“That’s a…” Thunderlane softly uttered as he saw the white car quickly speed up past the turnoff point at an incredible pace.
“No way…” Carmarel simply whispered in disbelief before the white car zoomed past them with the engine screaming. A gust of wind hit both the guys; causing Caramel to stumble a bit, as the white car quickly entered the corner and disappeared from sight almost in one perfect motion.
“H-Holy shit dude!” The light blue eyed guy screamed as he recovered from the sudden burst of air hitting him as the blaring engine and tires squealing could still be clearly heard.
“A white NSX…was that…was that?” The taller black man asked in complete amazement, not even able to completely finish his question.
“No way! Did you get a good look at it?” The brown haired guy denied as he frantically shook his head. “That’s not even the right year or anything!” He then practically shouted at the taller guy as he knew the car looked nothing like the NSX they’re all familiar with.
“Yeah, but the way it moved…it couldn’t be anyone else but her right?” Thunderlane pointed out as he pointed at the corner the Acura quick sped through.
“I-I don’t know man!” The shorter guy replied as he raised both his hands to his hair and rubbed it in frustration and confusion. Thunderlane looked at the turn the car flew into and then back at his shorter friend before taking a deep breath.
“Get Vinyl on the line…tell her what’s up and see what she has to say!” The yellow eyed man commanded sternly as he pointed at the shorter guy, causing him to blink and nod frantically.
“R-Right!” Caramel then eventually agreed in a stutter before he reached into his pocket and pulled out the radio.
Rarity paced back in forth at the entrance to the racer’s meet up. She looked around desperately for her passive friend but once again found no sign of her. She got out her smartphone and saw that she had no messages or missed calls. She bit her lip as she called her friend’s number yet again and put the phone up to her hear.
‘Fluttershy…where are you…’ The purple haired girl thought desperately as she listened to the ringtone, desperately hoping that this time she would pick up.
“O-Oh H-Hi…Y-You’ve reached-” Flutterhsy’s voice gently spoke out as the voicemail started only to be stopped by Rarity disconnecting the call.
‘Oh Fluttershy…I hope you’re ok…’ The fashionista sadly thought as she put her phone in her pocket. ‘Maybe…Maybe she’s at the car…y-yeah that’s it…her phone’s just dead and she’s waiting at the car…of course!’ She then optimistically thought with a smile before quickly turning around and starting to leave the racer gathering.
“Hey, where are you going?” A loud hyper voice called out which made Rarity stop and turn around to see a dark pink haired girl in a casual light pink shirt and dark blue jeans looking at her with a curious look on her face. “The party’s nowhere near over!” The happy girl said with a smile as she pointed to the group of happy partygoers behind her. Rarity didn’t know what to say to the girl and just stared at the light blue eyed girl in bemusement.
“Is something wrong?” The slightly shorter girl asked curiously as she titled her head, which made Rarity shake her head and smile back at her.
“Oh…no, it’s nothing to trouble yourself over dearie…I just can’t seem to find my friend is all…” Rarity calmly and politely answered as she waved her right hand dismissively at the girl.
“Oh...what do they look like…maybe I can help you find them?” The happy girl then offered with a smile as she began to look around, already beginning the search even though she had no idea who she was looking for.
“No, it’s ok…I have a pretty good idea of where they might be…” Rarity politely denied as she turned back around and began to leave. “Thanks anyways…” She then graciously thanked before leaving the gathering. The purple haired girl turned the corner and then started to briskly walk down the street away from the pink haired girl.
“Anytime…” The ecstatic girl replied as she waved her hand at the departing girl, before stopping and freezing in place upon realizing something “Wait!” She frantically shouted as she ran up to the exit, stopping as soon as she reached the exit upon noticing that the girl was already well out of her hearing range. She couldn’t hear her unless she ran up to her, the loud music blaring behind her didn’t help matters either.
“Darn it…I didn’t get her name...” The party girl sadly remarked as she regretted not knowing the girls name. “And I was hoping that we would become great fr-” She then tried to say before she felt her chest vibrate and shake. She blinked in confusion as she looked at her shaking chest before reaching down her shirt and pulling out a small handheld radio.
She laughed to herself upon pulling it out and quickly clicked a few buttons and put it to her ear. “Hello?” She kindly greeted still chuckling lightly with a bright grin on her face.
“Oh Vinyl…yeah sorry she asked me to get her the radio and…well I kind of forgot to give it to her…” She explained to the person on the other end as she eventually stopped laughing. “Silly me!” She then added as she raised her hand, balled it up into a fist, and playfully hit the side of her head with it.
“Yeah, I’ll give to her…” The pink haired girl happily replied with a nod as she turned around. “What’s wrong…you sound terrified…” She then curiously asked as she noticed the person sounding a bit frantic. She listened to the answer, and her face went blank and light blue eyes went as wide as they could possibly go.
“No way!” She shouted at the top of her lungs; the smile returning to her lips with much more intensity than before.
“Ohhhhh I’m getting so super excited now!” The happy girl then screamed in joy as she started to bounce to the crowd to deliver the radio to the DJ on stage.
The grey EJ8 Civic slowly came out of the turn skidding against the outside wall, leaving behind a trail of sparks. The brown Mazda very slowly followed it, struggling to get out of the dirt before getting on the straight. The shaggy haired driver smashed his right foot on the accelerator as hard as he could upon exiting the turn, causing the tires to kick up a bunch of dirt behind it and then squeal violently when it touched pavement again, sending it out of control
Dumbbell violently turned the steering wheel back and forth, causing the car to fishtail as he slowly regained control of his car while the one ahead of it finally broke away from the outer wall. “Dude was that awesome or what?” The burly male asked his companions in excitement as he fumbled his left foot to the clutch and struggled to get the car into third gear, almost causing the engine to stall.
“Yeah! I can tell you’re getting better!” Hoops agreed with a goofy grin on his face as he nodded repeatedly to the driver.
“Maybe in a month or so I can actually keep up with Blueblood!” The Mazda owner then arrogantly theorized with a grin on his face as he once again smashed down on the accelerator and almost rear ended the grey Civic in front of him.
“Yeah and then soon you might be able to beat him!” The bigger man in the passenger’s seat added still nodding repeatedly with the same smile on his face.
“Please, the only two people in this city that can beat him are our glorious Princesses…we won’t ever come close…” Dumbbell responded with a sigh as the grey EJ8 in front him finally picked up speed and pulled away from him, giving him enough room to speed up himself.
“Yeah…you’re right…” The brown haired guy agreed softly still nodding as if his head was programmed to do that. He eventually did stop, however, when a faint glare suddenly appeared in the rearview mirror which made him look up to see a pair of headlights suddenly appear out of the corner behind them. “Dude, we got a car behind us…” He declared loudly as he raised his hand off the door and pointed to the mirror.
“What?” Dumbbell immediately responded frantically in disbelief as he looked up as well to see if it was true. “What the hell…you’re right!” He then said upon seeing the car’s headlights in his rearview mirror.
Fluttershy watched the driver next to her swiftly and elegantly straighten the steering wheel before gently opening up the accelerator. She found herself doing this more with each passing second, mesmerized by how well she could handle this car despite being blind and amazed by her fluid motions. Not only that, but a great feeling of pride and satisfaction was continuing to grow inside her as she knew this wouldn’t be possible with her eyes and was glad to help this stranger out and make her happy. She shook her head and looked ahead to focus on the road and gasped slightly when she saw two pairs of taillights ahead of them.
“Uhhh… Dash…” She called gently, knowing most likely what cars they were and more importantly who was driving them. “Y-You need to slow down…” She commanded in a pleading tone as she reached over and tapped the shorter girl next to her on the shoulder.
“Why?” The petite girl simply asked in concern as she let off the accelerator and slowed down as asked. “Is there something bad on the road up ahead?” She then asked curiously as she turned her head to face the general direction of the passenger next to her.
“Oh…y-yes there are two cars ahead of us…” She answered honestly as she looked over at the dirty haired driver with a scared look on her face.
Dash didn’t immediately reply and just kept the car stable as she continued to face Fluttershy’s general direction. “…And?” She then simply said in a dull unconcerned tone, not understanding the need to slow down.
“And…it would be bad if we got too close to them…” Fluttershy explained in a softer tone as she looked back at the two cars ahead of them keeping their distance from their car. “And…those were to bullies that hurt you…and…almost hurt me as well…” She then added as she bit her lip and sunk into her seat as if trying to disappear into her car seat.
“Oh…” Dash merely uttered in understanding as she nodded and faced forward. Fluttershy sighed in relief as she felt the girl understood the gravity of the situation. “Good…” The driver then added in a confident shout as she smirked and pressed down harder on the accelerator, causing the engine to roar and the car to pick up speed.
“Dude, that car’s gaining on us!” Hoops pointed out as he watched headlights of the car behind them close in on them.
“Great!” Dumbbell shouted back in glee as he looked forward at the car in front of him. “It’s about time we get some real racing action!” He then said as he reached over and flickered the high beams on and off to get the attention of the car in front of him.
Score saw the lights in his rearview flicker strangely; he looked up slowly to see the brown RX-8 behind him slowly move to the right to reveal another set of headlights slowly closing in. He smiled and licked his lips before looking back forward. “Alright…it’s time for some fun…this is for you my sexy goddess Luna!” He shouted in glee as she pressed down on accelerator as hard as he could, causing the Civic to suddenly lurch forward and pick up speed with the RX-8 quickly following close behind.
“P-P-Please slow down Dash! I don’t want them to see us!” Fluttershy frantically begged as she reached over and tugged at the sleeve of the shorter girl’s dirty jacket.
“To hell with that! I’m going to dust them so badly they’ll be spitting out specs of dirt for weeks!” The girl wearing sunglasses declared, sounding more excited than angry as she reached her hand down to the stick shift to move the car into fourth gear.
“N-N-No! D-Don’t! They know who I am and know I own this car! If…If you do that they’ll hurt me later I just know it!” The frightened pink haired girl explained nervously as the car continued to accelerate getting closer and closer to the cars in front of them.
“Hey, you said it yourself that you weren’t a racer…and if they are racers they’re not going to believe someone like you put the beat down to them pretty badly on the track…” Dash responded in a much calmer tone as she lifted her hand off the stick shift and pointed her finger up as if to help illustrate her point. “They would, however, believe that some crazy girl took your car on a joyride and happened to pass them while she was driving your car…” She then said arrogantly as she moved her and pointed to herself.
“It’s the truth anyways, and if they have any problems with it they can take it up with me…” She finished enthusiastically as she moved her hand back to the steering wheel. Fluttershy blinked a few times in surprise as she replayed what she said in her mind a few times and took it as though she would have her back if they tried anything to her. If she was there for her when the bullies came up to her then…then she would be alright with doing this. However, one thing still bothered her.
“But…I don’t think you can pass them in your state…I mean I have to describe the turns for you, and there’s no way I can do that and keep track of the cars ahead of us…” The timid girl pointed out as she continued to look at the driver with concern in her cyan eyes. If she could barely give her the details of each turn, there was no way she could do that while also detailing the cars, their movements, and how far or close they were from them. It was just way too much for one person to handle by themselves.
“Don’t worry about that…just give me the next turn please…” Dash responded with a confident smirk on her face. Fluttershy looked at the girl a few more seconds before nodding slowly and looking back forward.
She could now barely hear the sounds of the car head of them; though, the raging sound of the engine directly behind her though made it difficult though. She noticed the brown car in front of them was now a few car lengths away from them. Fluttershy could clearly see the Mazda symbol on the back of the RX-8 being reflected from the light shining from the NSX’s headlights. She gulped as she looked past the two cars and at the upcoming turn.
“Geez, that car is really going fast!” Hoops commented a bit frantically as he saw the car’s headlights get closer and closer by the second.
“Ha…like that matters…” Dumbbell shrugged off confidently as he saw the Civic in front of them violently turn to the left, entering the wide turn. “Let’s see how they like THIS!” He then shouted as loud as he could as he moved his right foot from the accelerator and smashed down on the brake before fumbling the clutch and shifter to get the car into second gear.
“Three…two….one…” Fluttershy counted down in a loud tone, watching the brown Mazda ahead of them swerve violently and hit the inside wall, skidding against it while Dash quickly and smoothly braked and downshifted the car into third gear. “Turn!” She then shouted and instantly the driver turned the steering wheel and moved the white NSX so close to the inside wall that Fluttershy was fearful that she would scrap it and leave behind sparks like the RX-8 in front of them.
However, once again to her amazement, the car didn’t and smoothly glided alongside it as the car ahead of them slowly moved off the wall and swerved slightly. Fluttershy looked at the driver calmly and nonchalantly control the car and gasped as she looked forward to see the front end of the car quickly close in on the rear of the RX-8 in front of them. She frantically turned to shout for her to stop, but was cut off by the sound of the NSX’s engine dwindle down, and the feel of the car suddenly slow down. She looked down at the floorboard, and she noticed Dash’s dirt covered sneaker let off the accelerator.
She looked ahead to see their front end almost touching the back end of the brown Mazda ahead of them. Her eyes widened in shock at how perfectly she managed to do that and wondered how she could do that even though she couldn’t see anything. Ahead of the brown RX-8, the grey Civic swerved and jerked uncontrollably as it exited the turn. She then remembered that she still had to do her job and focused on the turn’s exit that the Mazda ahead of them was now moving through.
“You’re coming out of the turn…straighten out.” Fluttershy calmly instructed, and immediately Dash moved the steering wheel back to its original position and kept its pace right behind the RX-8. Fluttershy looked back curiously at the driver and opened her mouth to ask her how and when she knew to slow down to avoid the car in front of them.
“That car’s engine sounds weird…it’s not a typical car…I bet it’s a rotisserie engine or whatever…” The short girl commented as she recognized the sound of the peculiar engine sound in front of them. Fluttershy’s eyes widened and she leaned away from the girl with a look of shock on her face.
‘She…She can hear the sound of the engine in front of us…over ours…and…knows the exact distance between us based on that…’ She mused in disbelief as she couldn’t wrap her head around somebody being able to that. ‘What kind of girl is she?’ She frantically asked herself internally as she continued to stare at the filthy girl in front of her.
“God this guy sucks…I could pass him right now…but I want to do it on the next turn…” Dash remarked in a disappointed tone with a heavy sigh. “Wouldn’t you agree?” She then asked in a slightly teasing tone as she turned her head to grin at the girl next to her.
“R-Right…” Fluttershy weakly agreed with a nod before she looked ahead at the next upcoming turn.
“Damn dude! That car is right on our bumper!” Hoops shouted hysterically as he stared at the rearview mirror and at the white car behind them that looked like it was about to bump them.
“No way!” Dumbbell yelled in disbelief as he looked up at the rearview mirror to see the car directly behind them. “Shit!” He then swore in anger as he looked forward and aggressively pressed his foot down on the accelerator to desperately try and gain some speed.
“Dude…Dude that car!” The passenger frantically said as his eyes widened to their max, finally recognizing the shape and model of the car behind them. “It…It looks like…” He struggled to say out loud as he couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing in the rearview mirror.
“Shut up Hoops!” The driver screamed in frustration as he saw the grey EJ8 ahead of him turn violently and swerve uncontrollably before entering the wide right turn and almost hitting the inside wall. “Alright asshole! Let’s see how you like this!” He then shouted as he sharply turned the steering wheel and moved the Mazda into the turn, following the grey Honda ahead of him.
“Turn!” Fluttershy declared loudly, making the driver next to her turn the steering wheel and follow the brown car ahead of them.
The Acura’s front end kept its distance from the RX-8 in front of it as it followed it through the turn. “So lame…” Dash remarked in a low groan before she moved the steering wheel to the left and brought the car to the outside lane. Fluttershy gasped as she felt the NSX’s engine roar and rapidly pick up speed, quickly getting alongside of the RX-8 as it continued to go through the turn in the outside lane.
“What the hell?” Dumbbell shouted at the top of his lungs as he looked to his left and saw the white car suddenly appear alongside his car. Hoops’ jaw dropped as they both watched the car pass theirs, moving in front of them and then move back into the inside lane following close behind the grey EJ8. Dumbbell raised his hand off the steering wheel and hit the dashboard in fury as he watched both cars in front him exit the turn and straighten out.
“Pff…this is just too boring…it’s not even worth it…” Dash disappointedly remarked in a dull tone after she was done straightening out the steering wheel. “I’ll just dust this guy now…he’s not even worth waiting for the next turn…” She then said now sounding a bit upset as before she moved the car into fourth gear and pressed back down the long thin pedal. The white car rapidly gained speed and distance on the grey car in front of them. Fluttershy said nothing and merely watched in awe as Dash calmly moved the car into the next lane to pass the car in front of them.
Score saw the white car behind him try to pass him on the outside lane and quickly swerved his car in front of theirs to cut them off. “Try anything you want dickweed…as my future bride is my witness I will never let you pass-” He began to arrogantly challenge with a smirk before seeing the headlights reflecting in his mirrors suddenly move followed by the loud roar of a car blaze past his right. “…me…” He softly finished as he saw the white car pull ahead of him and then continue to press forward, leaving him behind.
Score watched the white car as it sped off, putting more distance between them. When it reached the next wide right, it moved slightly to the left to avoid all the dirt on the inside lane before darting as close to it as it could and quickly speeding out of sight around the turn. Score’s eyes widened before pressed as hard as he could on the accelerator to get as much speed as he could before he reached the turn. He tried to copy the car’s movements, but found himself in the dirt. The car shook violently as he almost hit the wall while going through the turn. When he exited the turn his eyes widened in shock as he couldn’t see any trace of the car that passed him moments ago.
“A-Awesome…” Score commented in awe as he couldn’t help but be amazed at the car’s speed and how fast it sped out of his sight.
“Damn…that car blew past us like we were still in park...” Dumbbell remarked in shock as he exited the turn and noticed the same thing.
“Dude…Dude that was…an NSX!” Hoops frantically pointed out in a high pitched voice as he leaned forward and pointed in the distance as if trying to point to the car that was now nowhere near them.
“...Yeah…Yeah it was…” The burly driver agreed softly with a nod, still trying to recover from the shock of what just happened. “If I would’ve known who it was that just passed us I would’ve just pulled over…no way we can take on someone like her…especially not in this car!” He then said in defeat as he continued to follow the grey EJ8 in front of him.
“Dude…that wasn’t even the right NSX!” The bigger man declared as he looked at the driver, who in turn looked back in confusion. “I…I think that was Fluttershy’s!” He then theorized as he was sure the car, that just passed them, belonged to the shiest and weakest girl in the city.
“N-No way…there’s no way that girl could pull that off! Not in a million years!” The amber-grey haired male denied in a loud tone as his eyes went wide.
“Dude I think it was!” The brown haired companion insisted with a nod. “And if she keeps going at that pace, she might catch up to Blueblood!” He then predicted as he could see Fluttershy catching up to Blueblood in no time at the pace she was going.
“Well…if that is Fluttershy…and if she does somehow manage to catch up to him…” Dumbbell slowly responded in a low tone as he looked back forward at the road. “She’ll definitely be put in her place…” He then added as a smile slowly appeared across his lips.
Gaira Valley Pass. It contained easy and fair roads that went in-between two mountains. On the right was the much more famed Mount Kiryu that was home to some of the most difficult courses in all of Canterlot. On the left was Mount Ghidrah, an equally sized mountain with a fair amount of courses, but also had another function when it wasn’t being raced on. A lot of the viewing overlooks were facing the city and was also perfect for looking down in the pass which Mount Kiryu lacked.
On the amplest and most used over-watch spot was one parked car with a lean and skinny freckled girl with cerise hair with emerald green stripes. The blue eyed girl wearing dark grey track and field clothes leaned against her pinkish grey Toyota MR2 Sypder convertible as she held a small handheld radio up to hear ear nodding with a bright smile on her face.
“Why yes Vinyl…of course I’ll look for it…oh yes…oh yeah I will…no thank you!” The soft-voiced girl happily replied continuing to nod to the other person over the radio before delicately turning it off. “Bitch…” She then darkly said in a rough tone as she turned around and tossed the radio into the passenger seat of her car.
“Do this Blossomforth, oh we need you do this Blossomforth, oh Blossomforth we would love it if you could do this! Aghh!” The long straight haired girl complained in a mocking voice before groaning as she walked around her car to the passenger side, passing by the two flowers painted on the back fender of her car. “Why did I agree to this…why couldn’t I just stay home in bed…why do I do these things in the first place?” She grumbled in a depressed tone as she opened her glove box and started to sort through it, looking for something.
As she reached inside and started to move things, she tried to pull something out which caused everything in the glove box to spill out onto the floorboard. “God damn it…” Blossomforth swore bitterly to herself as she bent over and started to shift through all the items on the floorboard.
“There it is…” She said in a whisper as she eventually found the small black pair of binoculars. After she picked it up, she gasped upon finding a small picture that was underneath it. The picture was of her with a much taller girl with two shades of yellow in her hair hugging her tightly, much to the short girl’s embarrassment as she was clearly blushing in the picture. Blossomforth put the binocular strap around her neck and reached down to pick it up.
She held it up and gently rubbed it with her right hand it as she held her breath and stared at the small picture. A few tears began to form in her blue eyes as she gritted her teeth; she then violently started to tear it to shreds, her breathing heavy as she ripped it up She threw the small shreds into the air for the light breeze to catch and take away from her. She then turned around and ran up to the edge of the overlook that had a perfect view of the entire pass.
“Alright where the hell is this mysterious white NSX at?” She angrily hissed as she raised the binoculars to her eyes and began searching the pass for the car Vinyl told her to try and find. As she started to look, a few tears trickled down the sides of her cheeks.
She quickly scanned over the area until she saw two pairs of lights belonging to two cars. She zoomed in to see a brown Mazda RX-8 following a grey Honda Civic EJ8. She sighed as she zoomed out and scanned again until she saw another set of headlights. When she zoomed in, she could barely make out what looked like to be a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. She sighed in defeat and zoomed out again, not following the car and keeping it focused on spot.
“This is so pointless…why am I doing this…” Blossomforth complained to herself as she struggled to decide whether to keep doing this or just sit in her car and say she did. Before she could decide, she saw a quick blur pass by the spot she was looking. “What the…” She said out loud as she zoomed out slightly and followed the road until she spotted a white car; the one she was told to find.
“Holy…Holy Crap…the…there it is…” She said in a faint whisper as she kept track of the white Acura NSX quickly moving down the straight. “It…I…I can’t believe it…” She then said in disbelief as she shook her head again. She then slowly smiled before dropping her binoculars, letting them dangle down from the strap, and rushing back to her car.
She reached down and grabbed the small handheld radio from the passenger seat and began to fiddle with it. “I can’t wait to tell…” She began in excitement before stopping and freezing in place. She stared at the small radio in her hand; not breathing before her enthusiastic expression quickly died and was replaced with a depressed and cold one. She slowly fiddled with the radio again before slowly, and reluctantly, putting it to her ear to talk to the one person she never wanted to talk to again.
In the second half of Gaira Pass lies the only building on the pass, an old out of business gas station with an easily accessible stairway that led to the roof. Even though it was out of business it proved to be a great vantage point to oversee the only tricky turn in the entire course. It was also the only turn off point that could take you to the parallel one-way road that led the opposite direction back towards Canterlot.
Parked in front of the abandoned run-down gas station was a pale Persian blue Mitsubishi VR-4 Twin Turbo with a fancy spoiler on the rear. There was also a picture of a cloud partially covering a sun painted on the back fender. Inside the parked car sat a tall athletic looking girl with two-toned yellow hair. She stared blankly at the steering wheel, not moving whatsoever. Anyone who passed by would mistake her for being dead.
Suddenly, the girl heard a vibration noise, and she slowly averted her cerise eyes down to the small handheld radio sitting in her passenger seat and shaking notifying her of an incoming call. The poorly dressed girl weakly reached out with her right hand and picked up the small device. She slowly moved it up to her face and answered the call, setting the volume on max so she could clearly hear the person on the other side without her needing to hold it up to her face.
“Yeah…” She lifelessly said in a soft, almost inaudible voice, as she returned to blankly staring at the steering wheel.
“C-Cloud Kicker…” A soft delicate voice on the other end said. The athletic girl instantly recognized it, and her eyes shot wide open.
“Bl-Blossomforth? I-Is that you?’ The girl now desperately asked in a heartfelt tone as she gripped the small device with both her hands. When no reply came the now breathing heavily girl put the radio up to her lips as her hands started shaking. “I…I didn’t know you were asked to do anything today…l-listen…we have to talk…I need to tell you-”
“You got a car coming.” The voice on the other end coldly said, cutting her off.
“W-What?” Cloud Kicker simply uttered in confusion as she shook her head at the small device as if the person could see her at the moment.
“You got a car coming…you’ll know it when you see it…Vinyl wants you to get a few pictures or a video of it when it passes by…” The unemotional voice explained as Cloud Kicker continued to shake her head at it, not believing or accepting what it was saying. “It will be there soon, that is all…goodbye Cloud Kicker…” It finished with a slight tint of sadness now evident in her voice.
“No wait Blossomforth! Please don’t hang up I-!” The now tearing up girl desperately screamed at the radio before being cut off by the line going dead. She sat there in her car completely motionless like before, except now tears were slowly running down the sides of her cheeks. “I…I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…” She apologized softly as she closed her eyes and held the read to her head.
“Please…Please…” She pleaded as her voice started to dwindle as she gripped the small radio even tighter. “Blossomforth…” She called out in a whisper as tears freely flowed down from her eyes and on the radio; some drops even getting in between her legs and onto the leather seat she was sitting in.
After a few minutes of crying openly in the car, she slowly reached over and opened the door to her car. She gradually inched her way out of the vehicle with the radio still in hand and walked around the door, not even bothering to close it. She slowly made her way to the gas station’s staircase and trudged up them, almost tripping and falling down a few times. When she finally made it to the roof, she went over to the edge to the overlook position and got her phone that she needed to tape everything out from her pocket. She plopped down without a care and set the phone on her left while also setting the radio down on her right. She sat there and stared at the radio not taking her eyes off it for a second as tears continued to flow down the side of her face.
“B-Blossomforth…” Cloud Kicker called out in a muffled voice filled with regret, more concerned about the girl possibly contacting her again than whatever it was she was supposed to record.
The black Skyline came out of the corner at a fast clip; its rear end sliding out a bit before it straightened itself out. Blueblood sat in the driver’s seat and pressed down hard on the accelerator, making the engine roar, and the car rapidly pick up speed. He pressed down on the clutch with his left foot while simultaneously putting a hand to the stick shift and upshifting to third gear. After he released the clutch and pressed back down on the accelerator, he looked up into the rearview mirror to see the road behind his car completely empty with not a car in sight.
‘If I can pull ahead this easy in a borrowed car…then when my real car gets completed I’ll be unstoppable…not even my aunts with both their skills combined could beat me…’ He thought to himself confidently as he looked back ahead at the long stretch of road. ‘A terrible driver with no skills…ha! I have to wait up for my friends to catch up to me! If this was a real race! It would be over already…’ He happily reassured in his mind as he left off the accelerator a bit, not wanting to discourage his only friends by dusting them too badly.
He took a deep breath and continued going down the straight road at a moderate pace until he saw a reflection in his rearview mirror. He looked back up to it and saw a pair of headlights come quickly out of the corner behind him. ‘Well, they’re finally catching up…’ He mused with a smile on his face as he watched the pair of headlights come closer to him faster than what his friends were ever capable of.
“O-Oh dear…we’re coming up on another car…” Fluttershy pointed out as she looked ahead and saw a pair of red taillights coming from the back of a car ahead of them.
“Whatever…” Dash dryly responded as she upshifted the car into fourth gear. “I’ll just blow past this guy like the other two…” She then said in an unenthusiastic tone as she pressed back down on the accelerator gently, picking up more speed.
‘Wait…that’s not one of the guys…’ He then realized internally as he noticed the general shape of the car, and the headlights was nothing like that of his friends. ‘Who the hell is that?’ He further questioned curiously in his mind as the car got closer and closer to his.
‘Ah, who cares…it doesn’t matter who it is, I’ll blow them away in the next two turns!’ Blueblood confidently shrugged off in his mind as he looked back forward at the road and pressed back down on the accelerator, heading towards the upcoming turn.
“Alright, the next turn is a wide one hundred and forty five degree right turn with dirt completely covering the inside lane.” The timid pink haired girl described as she looked at the turn the black car ahead of them was fast approaching. “It’s also followed quickly by a wide left one hundred and thirty-five degree angle that’s also covered in dirt…” She then informed as she remembered about a turn that almost immediately followed the upcoming one.
“Got it…” Dash simply replied with a nod as she moved her hand down to the shifter in preparation.
Both cars entered the turn; the car behind braked as he black Skyline ahead still pushed forward, gaining speed as it flew into the corner. Blueblood waited until the last possible second before pressing down hard on the brake, downshifting to second gear before turning the steering wheel to the right. The black GT-R’s tires screeched against the pavement as a burst of fire exited the exhaust before it suddenly turned towards the inside of the curve while the white car behind glided on smooth pavement rapidly catching up to the car ahead..
The GT-R shook violently as it ran over a lot of uneven dirt, giving Blueblood a great deal of difficulty keeping it stable throughout the turn. As he exited the turn, he put his foot down on the accelerator more while the car behind smoothly came out and continued to close in on it, getting within two car lengths of the R34. The left turn came up soon after, and Blueblood once again flew into it, braking at the last second before turning hard into the dirt. As he did, he felt the back end swing out a bit and lose traction, forcing him to let off the accelerator to try and get the car back under control. The NSX behind it once again smoothly and elegantly went through the turn continuing, to close the gap on the horribly shaking and jerking Skyline.
Once he had his car stable again, he pressed back down on it and flew out of the turn into the straight, upshifting back into third gear as the car behind came out immediately afterwards. Blueblood licked his lips and smiled before snickering to himself. He slowly looked back into the mirror, expecting to see nothing but to his surprise he saw the car’s headlights almost directly right behind him.
‘What the hell?’ The blonde haired man shouted internally as his eyes widened at the site of the mysterious car getting closer and closer to his back bumper, now barely a car length away. ‘I shouldn’t be able to see the faint glimmer of their headlights! How the hell is this fool right on my bumper?’ He questioned in his mind angrily as he gritted his teeth and looked back at the road, pressing down on the accelerator as hard as he could, making the engine blare loudly as it started to put a little distance between the two cars.
“Oh…that’s surprising…” Dash remarked as she recoiled a bit, causing the girl next to her to look at her confused. “I haven’t passed him yet…in fact, he’s actually pulling away from…” She then pointed out as her once unemotional tone began to rise and return to normal.
“This could be a lot of fun…” The dirty haired girl enthusiastically said with a smirk on her face as she reached down to the stick shift and moved the gear back into fourth gear.
“U-Umm…p-please don’t do anything too rash…I...I’m nervous enough as it is…” Fluttershy struggled to caution, getting worried that she might do something wrong and upset the girl next to her instead of something like her wrecking or crashing like she should be.
“Don’t worry…we’re fine…” The driver shrugged off in a confident tone as she raised her hand back to the steering wheel. “You’re doing great…so give me the next turn please…” She then said as nudged her head forward to get the girl next to her to focus again. Fluttershy gasped and held her breath as her cyan eyes widened at the short girl next to her.
‘I’m…doing…great?’ She repeated in her mind in disbelief, letting those words sing in before a smile quickly formed on her face. ‘I’m doing great! She thinks I’m doing great! I’m actually being useful!’ She cheered in her mind as she felt like reaching over and hugging the girl next to her. She wanted to endlessly thank the dirty looking girl for being nice to her and thinking this instead of bulling her or making fun of her.
“Uhh you there?” The dirty haired girl asked a bit in concern which snapped Fluttershy out of her thoughts.
“Oh yes!” Fluttershy happily squealed in delight with a nod before looking forward. “Ok, the next turn!” She then shouted in glee as she looked ahead to describe the next to turn to the girl next to her.
The black Skyline bolted ahead, slowly continuing to pull ahead of the car behind it until reached a wide left turn. The brake lights of the GT-R lit up as it flew into the turn; another burst of fire exited the exhaust as the car started to slide slightly at an angle. The white car behind it flew into the turn as well catching back up with it as they both went through the turn. They both straightened out with the GT-R starting to pull ahead again until another right turn abruptly came up.
Both cars went into at the same angle with the GT-R braking hard again, allowing for the car behind to catch back up to the point where it almost the R34’s back bumper. As they exited the turn, a left turn immediately followed it. The Skyline hugged towards the inside, hitting a patch of dirt as the car behind it moved toward the outside. It accelerated and got closer and closer until the front of the car was alongside the black Skyline’s rear fender.
“Oh yeah! This is what I live for! I’m getting really pumped!” Dash shouted in excitement as she kept the car steady alongside the Nissan.
‘Gah! Damn it! Why can’t I shake this asshole off?’ Blueblood bitterly complained in his mind as he looked into his shaking side mirror to see the car to his side and immediately recognized the shape and color of the car. ‘N-No way…that…that looks like a…like a…NSX...’ He struggled to admit in his mind as he looked at the car getting closer to his side mirror.
‘Damn it! Of all the times for my Aunt to reappear on the racing scene, she chooses now?’ He groaned mentally as he looked forward and pressed down on the accelerator, gaining speed as both cars left the turn. ‘Did she purposely come down here herself to humiliate me?’ He theorized as his car pulled fully away from the white NSX as more spouts of fire exited his exhaust along with a hissing sound.
“Oh, his car is a hisser…that explains the rapid acceleration…oh man just gets better by the second!” The dirty haired driver exclaimed upon hearing the car make a soft hiss noise as she shifted the car into fourth gear and started to gain on the GT-R again. Fluttershy looked over at the girl confused, wondering what she was talking about. She wanted to ask her what she was talking about but shook her head and focused back on the road ahead of them.
“Damn it Celestia! You really are a massive bitch!” He shouted in anger as he turned the steering wheel and moved his black GT-R in front of the NSX to block it.
Fluttershy gasped upon seeing the car get in front of them. “Oh yeah…it’s on now…” The girl next to her shouted as she let off the accelerator slightly, so she wouldn’t rear end the car in front of him.
“What’s the next turn? I’m so going to get this guy!” Dash practically demanded as she leaned forward and gripped the steering wheel as hard as she could.
“It’s a wide one hundred and fifty degree turn that doesn’t have dirt on the inside at first but has a huge mass of it in the middle though.” Fluttershy informed as she looked forward and recognized the turn that gave her some surprises the first few times she drove on the road. Dash merely smiled and nodded as maintained her short distance from the black car ahead of them.
Blueblood groaned as he shifted the car into third gear and pressed down on the accelerator as hard as he could, trying to pull as far ahead of the Acura as he could. The next right turn came up and Blueblood didn’t brake at all, instead just flinging the car into the turn as far to the inside as he could. He smiled as he went through the turn smoothly at first, thinking he would gain some more distance on the car behind him. All of a sudden, a huge amount of dirt appeared the inside, and Blueblood had no time to react and hit it. The black Nissan jumped slightly off the ground and almost hit the guardrail as the white NSX behind it went to the outside again.
It easily pulled alongside the GT-R as the blonde driver struggled to regain control of the car. Immediately afterwards, the white car flew passed him and got out in front of his R34. Blueblood gasped in horror as he watched the car pass him, not because he got passed but because of the look of the NSX passing him. The headlights were fixed instead of pop up, and the rear end had a stock spoiler instead of the fancy custom one that Celestia had on hers.
‘Wait a second…that doesn’t look like Celestia’s NSX…th-that’s…’ He frantically said in his mind as he now recognized the true owner of his car and knew it wasn’t his aunt. “Fluttershy…” He muttered out loud in disbelief as he watched the white Acura ahead of him straighten out and accelerate away from his black car.
“And that’s how it’s done!” Dash exclaimed in satisfaction as her lips curved into the biggest smile she could muster. “Wasn’t that awesome?” She then asked as she turned her head and faced the general direction of the girl next to her.
Fluttershy turned her head and looked at the dirty haired girl, noticing that she was more or less facing the dashboard than herself and weakly smiled back. “I-I’m just glad that’s the last car on the road…so we don’t have to go through this experience again…” The timid girl said softly, feeling relieved that the ordeal was mostly over. The rest of the drive was going to be just describing basic turns; no longer would she have to worrying about other cars.
“Yeah…” Dash said back low tone as she nodded back and faced forward again. “You’re right…” She agreed in what sounded like a disappointed voice as she bit her lip and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
‘I…I can’t believe I was just passed…by a girl who’s afraid of her own shadow…in a car like my Aunt’s…I…’ Blueblood thought frantically as his hands trembled on the steering wheel, making the car shake slightly. He then gritted his teeth and clenched the steering wheel as hard as he could. ‘I can’t accept it…I won’t accept!’ He then declared internally as he pressed down on the accelerator as hard as he could to catch up to the white Acura ahead of him.
“I’m going to get you!” He shouted angrily as he watched the NSX ahead of him turn left slightly to the next lane and suddenly slow down. “What the…” He said in a softer tone, shocked as he watched the white car fall back to alongside him.
“D-Dash what are you doing?” Fluttershy frantically yelled looking at the short girl in bewilderment as they fell behind the black GT-R.
“One more time!” Dash declared happily and arrogantly as she turned the wheel slightly and got right behind the GT-R. “We’re going to dust this guy one more time…it was so much fun that I just have to do it again!” She then said with a smirk as she pressed her dirty shoe down on the accelerator and picked her speed back up.
“W-What? Y-You can’t be serious!” The taller girl replied in disbelief as her eyes widened in shock.
“Hell yeah I am! I’m going to pass this guy again! I mean it was just so awesome that I have to do it again!” Dash responded happily as she slightly bounced in her seat in excitement. “And then again and again and again until we run out of road!” She went on getting more excited by the second as she pressed down harder on the accelerator. Fluttershy just stared at her in shock, her mouth twitching as she shook her head at the girl.
"N-No…that…doing it once is bad enough but…doing it over and over again…that's…that's…" Fluttershy replied in almost a disgusted tone. What Dash suggested sounded more like bullying than anything, and if there's something Fluttershy hated more than anything it was bullying. "Just mean…" She finished in a soft tone as she looked at the dashboard and stared at it with a disappointed look on her face.
Dash loosened up on the steering wheel and let up on the accelerator as she instantly knew that something was wrong. Her mouth opened slightly before she bit her lip, she then sighed after a few seconds upon realizing what she did to upset the girl and how to fix it. “Alright just one more time then…I promise…ok?” She gently responded with a smile on her face. Fluttershy slowly looked up and saw the honest look on her face and smiled back.
“Ok…” The pink haired girl simply replied with a nod before looking back forward. Dash smirked and faced forward as well while pressing back down on the accelerator to continue to pick up speed and close in on the Nissan in front of them.
“Damn bitch…you…you did that on purpose…” Blueblood said out loud in low growl as he stared into the rearview mirror and the white Acura behind him. “You really think you can pass me twice? Humiliate me further?” He asked the mirror as if talking to the driver herself.
“Well let’s see if you can!” He challenged furiously as he looked back forward, shifting the car into fourth gear. “Let’s do this!” He finally shouted at the top of his lungs as he pressed down the long thin pedal, making the engine roar and hiss briefly before the black car darted forward with the white NSX following close behind.
Cloud Kicker hadn’t budged or even blinked since she sat down; even after minutes of staring at the small radio, she desperately hoped that it would vibrate again. She wanted her to call again even if she didn’t say anything she just wanted her to call. She wanted to pour her heart out to the other girl, tell her she was sorry and more. She wanted to at least have that to try and repair their relationship.
“Blossomforth…” Cloud Kicker softly called with a sigh as the faint sound of two car engines began to be heard. She blinked for the first time in a while and slowly looked up at the tree line down the road and soon enough saw two pairs of headlights appearing and disappearing between the trees. “I bet one of those cars is the one I’m supposed to tape…” The athletic girl deducted in a disappointed voice as she reached over and grabbed her phone before standing back up.
“They should be here in a couple of minutes at the rate they’re going…” The cerise eyed girl dryly predicated as she turned the smartphone sideways and selected the video camera. “Let’s get this over with…” She then said unenthusiastically as she held the phone up towards the end of the dimly lit street that was barely illuminated by a couple of street lights.
Much further down the road and after a couple of turns, the black GT-R exited the wide left with the white NSX following close behind right on its bumper. After they straightened out the black Nissan’s engine roared and hissed, causing a few spouts of fire to exit the exhaust as it slowly pulled away from the white Acura behind it. As both cars went down the road the right tree line started to disappear as the pass was now getting closer to the mountains and the rocky surfaces.
The black Skyline flew into the wide right before braking as hard as it could and violently turning as close as it could to the inside, being met with tons of dirt that caused the car to shake and slow down. The white NSX behind it braked smoothly as it went to the outside and quickly caught up to the black car ahead of it, getting alongside it again as both cars went through the wide turn.
‘Damn it…’ Blueblood swore internally as he fought with the steering wheel to keep the car as steady as possible while he drove through the dirt covered inside. ‘I can edge ahead on the straights but she completely makes a fool of me on the turns!’ He mused as he bit his lip and looked over to his left to see the front end of the white Acura start to glide past his window.
“You’re coming out of the turn now so straighten out.” Fluttershy instructed as she looked ahead at the road and saw the upcoming exit. Dash nodded and straightened the wheel out, pulling the car out of the turn at the same time the black car next to theirs did. Fluttershy looked to her right and saw that they were still pressing ahead slowly and were almost going to be side by side.
Fluttershy’s eyes widened slightly upon realizing that and reached over to the shorter girl in the driver’s seat. “S-Slow down please!” The timid girl frantically begged as she tapped the dirty haired girl’s shoulder.
“Why? What is it now?” The girl in sunglasses asked confused as she reached down and moved the stick shift over to fourth gear before pressing down on the accelerator again, gaining more speed.
“We’re almost going to be right next to him, and if that happens he might look over and see me in the car! I can’t say I wasn’t in the car if that happens…if that happens…” She explained frantically as she looked at the car next to them and into the driver’s window, being able to see Blueblood’s arms and hands on the wheel as they continued to get closer “Please slow down!” She frantically screamed as she ducked down to hide herself if at all possible before being shaken in her seat slightly as the car began to slow down.
“What the…” Blueblood exclaimed in shock as he looked over to see the white car falling back behind him.
“Alright, alright, I get it…calm down!” Dash said back loudly as she let off the accelerator and let the black car gain some distance on them.
“Thank you…” Fluttershy thanked gratefully with a sigh of relief as Dash moved the steering wheel slightly and got right behind the GT-R ahead of them.
‘She did that on purpose! She was going to pass me again but slowed down for no reason!’ Blueblood thought as his eyes widened at the sight of the white car not directly behind him. ‘She’s toying with me…she’s mocking me and making me look like a horrible driver!’ He then mused angrily as he gritted his teeth and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
“Damn you Fluttershy! I’ll teach you not to screw with me!” He lividly shouted as he looked forward, shifted the car into fourth gear, and pressed as hard as he could on the accelerator. The engine roared and turbo hissed as more spouts of fire exited the exhaust before the black Skyline put some distance between it and the NSX behind it.
“The next turn is a wide one hundred and thirty five degree left turn with lots of dirt on the inside again.” Fluttershy detailed seriously as she looked ahead and saw the upcoming turn. Dash nodded back with a smile, moving her hand down to the shifter as the GT-R ahead of them flew into the turn..
“Three…two…one…” The passenger counted down as they got closer to the turn. The Skyline in front stopped at the last second, turning violently towards the inside into the dirt. The dirty haired girl smoothly braked and pressed down on clutch before quickly moving the shifter into third gear. “Turn!” Fluttershy then shouted at the same time the short driver moved her hand back to the wheel and elegantly turned the steering wheel, moving the car in the outer lane. The GT-R shook violently on the inside as the white NSX closed in towards it.
‘God damn it! I don’t get it…I’m in a R34! It’s an all-wheel drive turbocharged car!’ Blueblood yelled in his mind as he looked in his side mirror to see the white Acura right on his back fender again. ‘Why the hell is a little dirt screwing me over so badly?’ He questioned furiously as both cars exited the turn and entered a short straight. There were no longer any trees on the right side, but instead rocks and boulders of a cliff face that led up to the side of Mount Kiryu.
The blonde haired driver pressed as hard as he could on the accelerator. The engine roared as the black Nissan pulled away from the NSX’s front bumper until the next right turn quickly came up. The attractive male soared into the turn before braking hard and turning the steering wheel as much as he could to get the car as close to the inside as he could, and once again met with a large section of dirt.
“Son of bitch! This is really pissing me off!” He shouted angrily as he once again struggled to keep control of the car as he wrestled with the steering wheel. He looked to his left side mirror and saw the NSX getting much closer like before. He gritted his teeth furiously and smashed down on the accelerator in fury. “Agh!” He then yelled as the black GT-R’s rear end lost traction and almost spun him out. Blueblood, by a sheer miracle, managed to keep the car from spinning out. The burst of power and speed did pull the Skyline ahead of the NSX slightly as they both came to the exit of the turn and came out onto a road with an old gas station towards the end of it..
Cloud Kicker heard both the cars engines and saw the headlights coming around the corner. “They’re here…” She dryly said as she watched the two cars’ headlights come out of the corner. She pressed her finger against her touchscreen phone to start recording as both cars entered the straight. The Black Skyline R34 came under the dim street lights first with the white NSX following close behind.
‘Oh wow…an Acura NSX…no wonder they wanted me to record this…’ The girl on top of the gas station thought to herself in surprise upon recognizing the car on the straight, not saying out loud to not taint the video with her voice. ‘Is that who I think is?’ She pondered as she moved the phone to keep both cars on camera at the same time as the closed in towards her.
“Ok, the next turn is another wide one hundred and thirty degree turn like the last one with dirt once again on the inside.” Fluttershy detailed seriously as she looked ahead and saw the upcoming turn that was next to the old gas station, noticing a purple car parked out in front of it. She looked at it curiously because there should be no reason for a car to be there if the gas station is out of business, and she could swear she could see somebody on the roof.
“Got it…” Dash responded with a nod as she moved the steering wheel to the left and moved the car into the outer lane.
‘Oh no…I don’t think so…’ Blueblood mentally denied as he looked into the mirror and saw the white NSX behind him move to the next lane. He quickly turned to wheel to the left and promptly cut it off even though he was starting to pull away from the white car.
“Oh really? So that’s how we’re going to play huh?” The dirty haired girl said out loud in amusement upon hearing the car ahead of her swerve directly in front of her.
‘If I can’t use the inside in fear of being slowed down by dirt, I’ll just block your ass on the outside until the end of the course!’ The blonde haired driver thought confidently with a smile as he looked ahead back at the road at the quickly upcoming turn next to the gas station.
“Heh…alright…I’m getting really fired up…” The short driver urged on in response as she smirked and moved her fingers on the steering wheel in excitement.
Fluttershy noticed this and gently reached out to grab her shoulder, “Dash…listen to me because it’s important…” The timid girl then seriously said as she knew a very important detail about the upcoming turn.
“Yeah?” The girl in sunglasses simply replied as she moved her head to somewhat face the girl next to her.
“The next turn after this one is very different than all the other turns on this pass…for one thing it’s at the top of a small hill which means you won’t know you’re in it until you’re already well into it. When you’re in it, it’s a fairly sharp left turn at about ninety five degrees…and unlike all the other turns it really banks towards the inside, and thanks to the rock face from the mountain next to us actually as a lot of dirt on the outside!” Fluttershy intricately explained, knowing full well the exact details of that turn and how much difficulty she had going through the first couple of times she went through that turn.
“Oh man…I’m loving the sound of this!” Dash exclaimed happily as she smoothly pressed down on the clutch and shifted the car into fourth gear. “Let’s do this!” She then shouted excitedly as she faced forward again and pressed down on the accelerator as hard as she could. The car’s engine roared as the car quickly gained speed and quickly approached the turn following the GT-R ahead of it.
Cloud Kicker watched and recorded the two cars as they quickly raced up to the gas station. The Skyline in front dove into the turn and braked at the last possible moment, almost slamming into the outer guardrail before turning violently. It skidded and left a trail of smoke behind as it struggled to keep its line through the turn. The white NSX behind it lightly braked early and gently turned, getting as close to the dirt as possible and gaining slowly on the pitch black Nissan in front. It got right on the Skyline’s bumper as they left the turn and barreled up the hill towards the next turn.
‘Wow…that NSX is something else…’ Cloud Kicker commented in amazement internally as she kept recording the cars with her phone. ‘But…that…that’s not Celestia’s NSX…’She realized in her mind as she zoomed in on her phone to keep up with the two cars as they up the road getting close to the turn which was visible from atop the gas station.
“We’re coming up on that turned I warned you about…” The pink haired passenger said as she looked ahead and saw the upcoming turn which was hidden slightly from this angle thanks to the hill.
“Alright…” Dash declared with grin as she turned the steering wheel slight to the right getting into the next lane.
‘I knew you would do that…’ Blueblood mused upon seeing the car in the mirror turn to the outer lane. She smirked and turned the steering wheel to do the same and block the car behind him. ‘You’re not getting passed me you bitch…’ He cockily declared in his mind as he looked ahead to see the cliff face quickly coming up, meaning he had to turn soon.
“Three…two…one…” The cyan eyed passenger counted down as Dash pressed on the brakes and downshifted to third gear. “Tu-Aaghhh!” Fluttershy then tried to say before being cut off by the car suddenly turning tightly towards the inside. The force of the sudden turn pressed the girl against the door as they went into the turn.
“What the hell?” Blueblood shouted in shock as he noticed the light reflecting in his rearview mirror suddenly shift to his left side mirror. He briefly looked at it to see the white NSX cutting towards the inside before looking up and seeing the cliff face practically appearing right in front of him. “Ah Shit!” He swore at the top of his lung as he smashed the brake pedal with both his feet and turned the steering wheel as hard as he could.
The black Nissan suddenly hit a large collection of dirt and lost complete control as the rear end slid out and started to send the car into a spin. “Damn it no!” He screamed out loud as his front end faced the inside, getting a good view of the white Acura as it smoothly passed on the inside without any trouble and pass him. “No!” He then shouted again as he closed his eyes and gripped the wheel as hard as he could as the car continued to violently spin.
Cloud Kicker gasped upon seeing the white NSX cut to the inside suddenly, leaving a white trail of smoke behind the tires and getting within a few inches of the inside guardrail as the GT-R next to it spun out of control and start to do some three sixties. She continued to record the white Acura as it moved flawlessly through the turn, leaving the Skyline behind until it finally disappeared behind the tree line. She moved the phone back to the GT-R as it continued to spin before slowly stopping mere inches from the rocky wall with its front end facing the inside. She zoomed in as much as she could on the black car shrouded by cloud of dirt kicked up from when it spun out. All of the sudden, the horn started to go off repeatedly which made Cloud Kicker blink a few times in surprise.
“Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!” Blueblood shouted furiously as he hit the center of the steering wheel as hard as he could over and over, causing the car’s horn to blare. He then finished by hitting as hard as he could and held it down making the horn blare continuously as he looked up, breathing heavily, to see the white Acura NSX quickly race down the road away from him and continue through the turn.
“You’re coming out of the turn now …” Fluttershy instructed shaking and trying to recover from the shock and feel of the sudden sharp turn. Dash gently moved the steering wheel back to its original position and pressed down on the accelerator taking the car out of the turn. Fluttershy took a deep breath in relief before she looked in the mirror and gasped.
“O-Oh dear! The black car spun out!” The timid girl said in concern upon seeing the black GT-R in the rearview mirror not moving and near the cliff.
“Did he wreck?” Dash merely asked in an uncaring tone as she kept her foot on the accelerating, continuing to gain speed.
“N-No…” Fluttershy denied as she could make out that the car seemed undamaged. “But he could be hurt…maybe we should slow down and see if he’s ok…” She then suggested as she turned to look at the shorter girl next to her.
“I’m sure he’s fine…” The dirty haired girl shrugged off in a dismissive tone. “Besides his two buddies will eventually catch up to him and help him out…” She then pointed out as she reminded Fluttershy of the two cars they passed earlier.
“Do you want to be there when they do get there?” Dash asked as she turned her head to face Fluttershy’s general direction, making her gasp and go eyed as she thought of the horrible things they would do to her if they saw her there.
“No!” She immediately denied loudly with a frantic shake of her head, not wanting to experience that in a million years.
“Then let’s press ahead!” The driver responded with a smirk as she faced forward and shifted the car back into fourth gear.
“Right!” Fluttershy simply uttered as she looked forward while the car picked up more speed.
“You...You…Bitch…Fluttershy…” He said in between breaths before the NSX disappeared from his sights.
“Oh wow that was so awesome!” Cloud Kicker shouted happily after she stopped recording the two cars with her phone. She quickly bent down and picked up the radio, starting to fiddle with it. “I can’t wait to tell…” She began to say enthusiastically before she stop and froze.
“Oh…right…” The cerise eyed athlete uttered in a whisper upon remembering her current situation with the girl she almost tried contacting. “I…I’ll just talk to Vinyl…I’m sure that’s what I’m supposed to do anyways…” She concluded in a depressed tone as she fiddled with the radio again. After which, she slowly raised it to her ear and looked down at the ground, taking a deep breath to not sound upset when she talked to Vinyl Scratch.
Vinyl Scratch sat at the music table bobbing her head to the loud music playing as the crowd cheered and screamed. She reached down and put her hand on the record that was being used and moved it, scratching it and making some effects that made the crowd cheer more. She smiled and stuck her tongue out as suddenly, the small handheld radio on the table began to vibrate.
She noticed it and immediately picked it up. “Be right back Tavi…I gotta take this…” Vinyl said to the girl sitting next to before she stood up and rushed off the stage, getting behind it to try and muffle the sounds of the loud music. She clicked the radio and pressed it to her ear as she raised her free hand to cover her other ear to try and focus as much on the radio as possible.
“Yeah?” She said loudly, so that the person could hear her over the music. “No freaking way!” She screamed with a bright smile on her face as took off the tinted glasses to reveal her widened, moderate cerise eyes.
“That’s totally awesome! Send the vid to my phone ASAP!” She demanded happily before turning around and starting to rush back to the front, stopping briefly and raising the radio up to her mouth. “Oh and thank you!” She thanked quickly before turning the small radio off and rushing back onto the stage where she took her phone out of her pocket and ran back to the table.
“You look happy…did Sapphire Shores drop the charges or something?” Octavia teasingly said in a dull voice as she looked at her friend and noticed how elated she was.
“Funny…” Scratch simply replied a bit dully as she put her phone on the record table and reached down under it to grab a wire. “No…we possibly got the highlight of the night Tavi!” She then said as she looked at the dark haired girl with a smirk on her face and a cord in her hand. Octavia looked at her confused and raised an eyebrow at her as Vinyl took the cord and hooked it up to her phone.
Meanwhile, at the entrance a very shell-shocked and distraught Rarity slowly and weakly reentered the gather. She looked down at the ground as she held her phone in hand by her side. It was dead after sending countless messages and calls to her friend, which she still couldn’t get ahold of or find. She slowly raised her head and looked around in another desperate attempt to find her friend.
‘Fluttershy…Fluttershy…wh…where are you? Please….please be ok…’ The purple haired girl quietly thought as she continued to look around, not finding her dear pink haired friend but instead seeing another pink haired girl bounce up to her.
“Hey, you’re back!” The energetic girl happily declared upon noticing the purple haired girl from before return. The azure eyed girl said nothing in response which began to make to feel the bubbly girl feel worried. “H-Hey…are…are you alright?” She softly asked in concern as she got in front of the girl and looked directly in her face. The pale girl again didn’t reply, and Pinkie’s eyes widened upon realizing what it is that could be upsetting her.
“Oh my gosh! You didn’t find your friend did you?” She frantically shouted as she raised both her hands and covered both her mouth and nose. Once again, the girl didn’t say anything and instead weakly shook her head. “Come on come on! Let’s go and find her! I’m sure we’ll find her lickidy split!” The pink haired girl then shouted as she reached down and grabbed the girl’s hand, ready to drag her around the entire lot until she found her friend and made the girl happy. Pinkie just couldn’t stand seeing anyone upset or angry, especially at a party. One hundred percent happy, complete with smiles and laughter. That’s the only thing Pinkie would accept.
Pinkie started to pull her before stopping as soon as she heard the loud music abruptly be muted. Both girls looked up at the stage as did the rest of the confused audience as the screen went completely black. The frantic DJ stood up soon afterwards with a wide grin on her face and a mic in her hand. “Sorry for the abrupt cut off but…but you guys just have to see this!” She happily said in a shaky voice as she moved her shaking hand down and touched her phone.
The black screen switched to a video of two cars shrouded in darkness quickly coming up a road. The first car to appear under the street lights was a black Skyline GT-R R34, and the second was a white Acura NSX Refresh. As soon as the second car appeared on the screen, everyone gasped in shock and went dead silent. “F-Fluttershy?” Rarity uttered in complete disarray as her eyes widened upon seeing the white car on the screen.
“That’s your friend?” Pinkie asked in shock as she continued looking at the screen as the two cars entered the turn. The crowd collectively gasped at the sight of the white Acura closing in on the GT-R before heading up the hill towards the sharp turn. “Holy moly she’s amazing! That white car looks so happy!” She then shouted as a smile quickly appeared across her lips and her eyes started to quiver in excitement.
When the cars went through the turn, the crowd started to get riled up by the sight of the two cars entering the corner. As the NSX cut towards the inside, the crowd started to clap and cheer. When the R34 spun out violently next to the NSX while it sped off on a perfect line, the entire crowd roared with cheers and applause. It continued even as the NSX quickly disappeared behind the tree line and vanished from sight.
“Oh my gosh, that was so super exciting! I haven’t seen a car that happy and excited in like…months!” Pinkie declared happily as she started to bounce in place, while the camera shifted back the GT-R as the car honked its horn. Rarity narrowed her eyes and could barely make out a furious looking Blueblood hitting the steering wheel in anger. Her face lit up with a smile as she started to slightly bounce up and down herself.
“Oh, this simply is just the best possible thing!” She softly squealed in delight after witnessing her ex-boyfriend just get served on the track by her best friend. “That’s right Fluttershy! You go girl! You show that asshole just how shitty he is behind the wheel and…” She then shouted eagerly as she raised her hand and shook it at the screen before stopping and turning to look at the giggling pink haired girl next to her.
“O-Oh dear…how uncouth of me…” She said softly as a light blush appeared on her face, feeling embarrassed over how rude and abrasive she must’ve seemed. “I do apologize…” The polite girl apologized sincerely feeling bad for saying such things in front of her.
“It’s ok…I’m just happy you’re better and that you found your friend…” Pinkie replied dismissively with a wave of her hand and a wide smile on her face.
“Yes…thank you for your help anyways…” The slightly taller thanked graciously with a nod before turning and looking towards the road that led out of Gaira Pass. “But I’ll be fine now…I’m sure I’ll see my friend soon…” The fashionista then said knowingly with a smile as she continued looking at the road, now expecting to see a pair of headlights appear in a little bit.
“No problem…I got to go now…I got to make a call!” The somewhat shorter girl happily responded before turning and starting to bounce away. She bounced away from the purple haired girl before quickly gasping and stopping in place. The pink haired girl shot around and rushed back up to the girl near the entrance of the lot, getting the girl’s attention as she looked back a little confused.
“Oh…I’m Pinkie Pie by the way…” The energetic girl introduced with a grin, a squee sound clearly being heard as she did.
The better dressed girl didn’t know what to make of the girl front of her as she raised an eyebrow at her. She slowly smiled back as she started to raise her hand up. “Rarity…” The paler girl replied, giving the girl her name as well as she held her hand out to Pinkie to take and shake. The blue eyed girl looked down at the hand a bit confused at first before her face lit up again as took her hand with both of her own hands.
“It’s super nice to meet you Rarity…I can tell we’re going to be great friends forever and ever!” The cheerful girl screamed as she violently shook the girl’s hand up and down, much to the discomfort of the more sophisticated girl.
“That sounds…fabulous darling…it…it’s a pleasure to meet you too…” The purple haired girl struggled to say as her hand was continuously raised up and down.
Suddenly, the partier stopped shaking her hand and let go before turning around and starting to bounce off again. “I’ll talk to you later kay? Bye!” She frantically screamed back to the girl as she continued to bounce away, much to the complete befuddlement of the girl being left behind.
“F-Farewell…” She softly uttered as her hand was still being held out, not sure what to make of the situation she was just in, or the girl she just met.
Pinkie Pie bounced happily with a grin as she moved to a secluded area of the lot behind a few cars. She stopped and started to check her front pockets, not finding anything. She quickly reached behind to her back pockets and once again yielded the same results. She scowled slightly and tapped her foot impatiently for a few seconds before she smiled again and snapped her fingers as a thought suddenly occurred to her. She reached to her shirt collar with one hand and pulled on it as the other one reached down. She felt around for a few seconds before finally pulling out her smart phone.
“I really got to start using my pockets…” Pinkie said to herself with a giggle as she turned the phone on and quickly made a call. She started to bounce happily again as she put the phone to her ear and started to listen to the ringing as it began calling.
“Hey Twilight!” Pinkie excitedly greeted with a shout as soon as the caller answered. “Why it’s me! Pinkie Pie of course!” She introduced as she stopped bouncing and did a quick twirl, which she did even if the caller couldn’t see her.
“What do you mean how did I get your number? I always have your number silly!” The pink haired girl said with a giggle as she shook her head. “Yeah, I know, and you got to stop changing it…it’s like you don’t want to talk to me or something…” She replied back to the caller in a somewhat disappointed tone before she had to pull the phone away from the ear as the phone erupted in loud screams and yells.
“Whoa, language Twi, language!” Pinkie said in a half-scolding half-teasing tone as she put the phone back to her ear “You sound really grumpy…but wait until I tell you about this!” She enthusiastically began to shout as she started bouncing in place again.
“I’m at Beginner’s Pass and a video just played showing a recent overtake involving a white NSX in the pass!” She told the girl on the other line happily as she looked back on the screen to see the video repeating itself. “Oh yes, a white NSX! It was amazing! It looked so happy and excited as it flew through the turns! It just made me want to scream out and start burning rubber myself!” She went on as she closed her eyes and started to slowly spin as she continued bouncing place, feeling like she was going to explode from giddiness.
“Shame about the GT-R though….it…well…it wasn’t happy to say the least…” She then remarked a bit guiltily as she stopped moving and lowered her head down a bit. She then opened her eyes and looked forward in slight confusion for a few seconds before tilting her head a bit. “A black Nissan Skyline GT-R…the three four I think…” She said calmly, not exactly knowing why the color and model of the black car mattered.
“Yeah I’m sure…” She reaffirmed with a quick nod before hearing a clicking sound over the phone. “Twilight…Twilight you there?” She asked loudly as she pressed the phone against her, only getting a beeping noise in response.
“Where the heck did that silly girl go?” She asked to herself as moved the phone in front of her face and looked at it perplexed, cocking her head even more.
The crickets chirped happily as a gentle breeze brushed through the large six way intersection. The quiet serenity was quickly eviscerated by the faint sound of an engine that quickly grew into a thunderous roar. Soon a pair of headlights appeared from the road leading out of Gaira Pass followed quickly by a white NSX quickly coming out of it, heading towards the intersection. The car’s tires squealed against the pavement as the brake lights came on, bringing the car to a screeching halt as it went into the intersection. It stopped on the road leading to the Animal Sanctuary and right next to the forest that led towards Mount Ghidrah.
Fluttershy breathed heavily as the car finally came to a halt. She cautiously looked around to make sure the car came to a complete stopped. She noticed the road they were on led to where she worked; the one they just blazed past lead to Mount Kiryu, the one on the opposite side led to Mount Ghidrah, the one to its left lead back into Gaira Pass back to Canterlot, and the one directly across from that led out to the next city over. When she confirmed that the car wasn’t moving, she made a huge sigh of relief before looking over at the overjoyed girl in the driver’s seat putting the car into neutral, and raising the emergency brake handle to keep the car locked in place.
“God, that was just what I needed!” Dash exclaimed in a satisfied tone as she raised both her hands, balled them into fists, and punched the air like a boxer ready for another round. “Wasn’t that fun? Didn’t it give you a rush? How pumped are you right now?” She then asked as she turned to face the girl next to her with an eager look on her face.
“I…I’m just happy it’s all over and that we’re safe…” Fluttershy nervously answered with a slight nod as she looked back at the zealous girl. “And it’s something I know I never want to attempt again…” She went on a bit softer as she leaned back in her seat and took a deep breath, thankful that the whole ordeal was now ever and that it would never happen again.
“Oh come on? You’re seriously telling me you’re not even a little bit excited…not one ounce of adrenaline pumping through your veins?” The dirty haired girl persisted as she reached her hand out to Fluttershy and poked her arm almost playfully.
“No.” The pink haired girl merely responded as she closed her eyes and gave one quick shake of her head.
“Gah…fine whatever…” The now annoyed girl groaned as she threw up her hands in defeat and faced forward again. “I am though! Man I haven’t felt like this in months!” She then said very happily with a smirk as she tightly gripped the steering wheel and started to move it slightly.
“It’s just so freaking awesome! I…and…” She continued passionately before stopping and loosening her grip on the steering wheel. “Thank you…” She then softly thanked gratefully as Fluttershy’s cyan eyes popped open in shock and turned to look at the shorter girl as she lowered her head down a bit.
“Just…thanks…you…you made my life worth living again…even if it was just for like twenty minutes…it’s still...I…” She explained in a quivering voice as she slowly moved her hands over the steering wheel almost longingly. “Thank you…” She quietly whispered, almost to the point where Fluttershy couldn’t hear it over the idle hum of the engine behind them. The genuine display of gratitude and emotion made Fluttershy gasp and lean her head back as she stared at the short girl in the driver’s seat.
Her cyan eyes quivered as she slowly bit her lip, not used to having other people aside from Rarity thank and appreciate her. “Y…Your welcome Dash…it…it was my pleasure…” She softly replied as she started to feel nervous. She was wondering something now and was scared to ask this question, yet decided to risk it anyways after what they went through. “W-We are friends after all…right?” She then fearfully asked as she closed her eyes, expecting to hear a response that would upset her.
“Yeah…I can’t see why not?” Dash responded nonchalantly with a shrug, causing Fluttershy to squeal and lunge forward as far as she could go and wrap her arms around the shorter girl. “Ah, what the hell?!” She shouted in shock and annoyance upon feeling a pair of arms go around her and pull her into a tight hug.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!” The elated girl endlessly thanked over and over again in a squeal of delight, much to the confusion and slight discomfort of the girl she was hugging.
“Ah geez…you’re welcome and everything I guess…but…can we not get all mushy here?” Dash responded as she eventually pushed the much taller girl off of her.
“Oh I’m sorry…it’s just…I…” Fluttershy nervously apologized as she took a deep breath to calm herself down, not wanting to overdo it and scare her new friend away. “I don’t exactly have a lot of friends…” She then admitted honestly as the only friend she really had was Rarity.
“Well, I don’t exactly have a long line of friends either…so…I guess we have that in common…” Dash responded as she moved her hands back to the steering wheel. Fluttershy gasped and smiled brightly as she felt like she was going to pass out from the joy she was feeling. “Now that there we’re friends…I got to ask to ask you something…” The short girl went on as she changed the subject. Fluttershy nodded in understanding as she probably wanted to know her name since she couldn’t hear her earlier. Now though, Fluttershy was much more confident and happy and would gladly give her name proudly to her new friend.
“Oh, why yes, I’m sorry. My name is-”
“What car is this?” Dash asked curiously, cutting Fluttershy from giving her name as she looked in Fluttershy’s general direction. The pink hair girl froze as it felt like and went wide eyed at that question.
“W-W-W-What car is this?” She repeated with numerous stutters as she started to breathe heavily as it started to feel her chest tighten and her heartbeat speed up.
‘Oh dear…t-that’s right…she can’t see what car we’re in! She doesn’t know that she’s driving probably the worst car ever made!’ She frantically thought as her vision started to blur slightly from how badly she was freaking out.
“Yeah, it’s a pretty damn good actually…great acceleration, great handling, and it’s a very smooth ride…” She complimented with a smile as she gently moved the steering wheel to the left then right as if to illustrate her point. “I can tell its id-engine car...but it’s not a hisser like the car we passed…so maybe it’s an MR2 or a non-hissing Lotus of some kind?” She guessed as she pressed down on the accelerator and made the engine behind them roar. Fluttershy blinked a couple of times as her mouth hung open slightly in complete shock from what the girl was saying.
‘She…she likes the car…and actually thinks it’s good? Would she still think that if I told her what it was?’ She started to think desperately as she continued to look at the girl as she stopped pressing down on the accelerator. ‘Oh, what if she does…maybe I should just lie and tell her it’s one of those…it’s not like she can see it and figure it out what it is…’ She then thought as she knew she could most likely easily lie to her, and she’d most likely believe it.
“Well?” Dash spoke up after a minute of silence as Fluttershy snapped out of her train of thought and looked at the girl whose eyes were hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. She opened her mouth to lie about the car but stopped and bit her lip.
‘No…I can’t do that…I can’t lie to my new friend right out of the start…that’s not the way a friendship should start out…’ She reasoned with herself with a shake of her head as she stopped biting her lip to give her answer.
“It…It….It’s…an…an…” She began nervously as she started shaking, stopping and pausing for a few seconds in fear that most likely this would turn out badly for her. “Acura NSX…” She finally uttered out in a whisper as she squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath, desperately praying that this would end well.
“An…An…N…S…X…” Dash repeated very slowly in a soft tone, muttering a syllable a second as Fluttershy gulped and nodded back to her even though she couldn’t see her doing that. “Out! Out! Get me out of this car!” She then heard the girl frantically scream as she opened her eyes and saw the now hysterical girl fumble with her seat belt to get it undone.
“W-Wait!” Fluttershy frantically pleaded as she unbuckled herself while Dash quickly opened the door to the car.
“Ahhh!” The frantic little girl shouted as she felt out of the car and onto the pavement next to a lot of trees that was the start of the forest.
“D-Dash!” The regretful NSX owner called out as she got out of the car and shut the door as Dash quickly shot back up onto her feet. “Is it really that bad…I…I mean you were just complimenting it earlier!” She went on in an upset tone, trying to desperately to reason with the girl as she started to go around the front end towards the short girl.
“No no no! I was just being nice to you, I can drive almost anything so it doesn’t matter how good the car is! The truth is though I really hate that car!” The dirty haired girl shouted almost angrily as she quickly limped away as fast as she could into the forest, still suffering from when she got hurt earlier. Fluttershy got around the car, reached the trees, and stopped when she said that and saw how desperate she was to get away from her. She gasped and stood there as she felt herself start to quickly tear up.
“Bu…But…I…I’m sorry…” She apologized as she started to choke up from sadness as the girl continued to limp away deeper into the tree line. “I…I didn’t want it anyways…it…it’s something my dad gave me…please…I…” She pleaded as looked down at the ground before stopping as tears began to gently slide down the sides of her cheeks; the first friend she made in years, and she instantly lost it over a vehicle.
“Look, I have nothing against you it’s just…” She heard Dash remark in a low tone as she slowly looked up to see her standing with her back facing her. “Me and that car just have a bad history together!” She went on as Fluttershy saw her hands ball up into fists. She wanted to say something back, but her tears and closed throat had other plans.
“So I don’t want to be anywhere near that damn car!” She then finished before limping back off and disappearing from Fluttershy’s side, vanishing into the dark forest.
“W….Wai…” Fluttershy shrugged to say as she raised her hand up towards the general direction of the girl that disappeared from her sight. “I…I…I’m…s-sorry…” She managed to utter, apologizing one last time as more tears continued to flow down the sides of her face. She wanted to try and chase after her, try and find her, and try and persuade her to try and stay friends with her. However, with that attitude and abrupt exit, she knew that if she chased after her, only bad things would happen. She arrived at her destination, she wanted to come here for a reason, and that reason never involved Fluttershy in the first place, especially now.
Fluttershy slowly turned around and staggered back towards her white car, stopping when she reached the front end. She looked down at the still idling car and started to huff angrily. “Stupid car!” She shouted as she moved her foot back and kicked the tire with all her might, only managing to hurt her foot in the process, but Fluttershy didn’t care. “I wish this dumb thing never existed!” She bellowed at the four wheeled vehicle as she thought about possibly walking all the way home and just leaving the source of all her problems here to rot.
It was getting pretty late however, and by the time Fluttershy got home she would have to go to school which would only further exhaust and frustrate her. She groaned with soaked cheeks as she reluctantly turned and went around the open door, getting into the car she despised so much. She readjusted the seat back so where she could be comfortable and then shut the door.
She took a deep breath as she sat inside what was essentially a torture chamber for her now and hit the steering wheel violently, causing the car’s horn to honk. She groaned and shook her head before looking at the time on her radio. It was all blurry from the tears in her eyes which caused for her to raise her arms and wipe her eyes and cheeks dry. After she could clearly see again, she looked at the clock only to remember that was horribly wrong from her not setting it right as it said 5:24 P.M.
She knew for a fact that it definitely wasn’t that time and decided to reach into her pocket to get her phone for the accurate time. When she got it out, she found that it somehow had been turned off on accident after being shoved inside her pocket. She turned it on and after a minute of the phone starting up she was greeted by screen showing all the messages and calls she had missed while the phone was off, all from the same person.
“Oh my gosh! Rarity!” Fluttershy shouted frantically as she quickly tried calling her best friend, only to be met by the voicemail. “Oh dear…her phone’s probably dead and…and she’s still must be waiting on me…she must be worried sick about me!” She then said as she quickly tossed her phone into the cup holder. She realized she had to get there fast, and the only way to do it was to drive the car that she couldn’t seem to escape.
She looked at the steering wheel again in disgust as she felt that life itself was hell bent on her staying in this accursed car. She gritted her teeth and shook her head before gripping the steering wheel with one hand. The other hand moved to the emergency brake handle as her feet moved to the clutch and accelerator. She quickly took off the emergency brake and shifted the car into first gear while simultaneously pressing down on the clutch with her right foot and releasing the clutch with her left.
The car started to quickly move as the engine rumbled a bit louder. She moved her other hand back to the steering wheel and quickly turned the car completely around. “I hope Rarity’s not too upset at me…I couldn’t live with myself if I lost her as a friend…” She said out loud as she moved the car into the other road heading into Gaira Pass that led back into Canterlot.
Blueblood sat in the driver’s seat of the black R34. He had not moved nor took his eyes off the spot where the white car had left him behind. He angrily breathed in disgust as headlights shined in on his car. He looked to his left at the beginning of the curve to see a brown grey Civic and brown RX-8 pull up and stop in front of his car. The two doors of the RX-8 opened, and the driver’s door of the Civic opened as Blueblood’s followers quickly got out of the vehicles. He groaned angrily as he unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and swiftly got out of the car.
“Blueblood!” They all frantically shouted in unison as they started to run up the blonde haired man standing next to his idling car.
“Dude, what happened?” Score asked with in concern his voice the second they reached him, only to be answered by a grumble and an angry glare.
“Did you see that white NSX?” Hoops questioned curiously as he tilted his head a bit, getting another grumble and slow nod as an answer.
“Dude, it was Fluttershy!” Dumbbell pointed out with a shout which prompted Blueblood to grab the collar to his shirt and pull him up closer to his face.
“I know!” He shouted as loud as he could before tossing the burly guy away, almost making him trip and fall over.
“So…what happened?” Score nervously asked as he backed up slightly in fear of being grappled himself.
“I don’t want to talk about it…” Blueblood groaned furiously as he looked away and at the turn white Acura disappeared through.
“You…you got…” Hoops began in shock, realizing what that meant combined with the fact that they found his car spun out on the edge of the road.
“I said I don’t want to talk about it!” He screamed lividly as he pushed Hoops down to the ground, making the other two back up slightly in fear. “Listen to me…not a word of this gets out to anyone understand?” He warned intimidatingly as he narrowed his eyes at the group of guys and pointed his finger at them, causing them all to nod at once, including Hoops who was crawling backwards to get away from the tall blonde man.
“Nobody must know what happened here…” The humiliated driver finished as Hoops stumbled slightly on the ground, prompting him to look behind him to see a gas station behind him.
“Uhhh Blueblood…” He fearfully called as he raised one of his hands and pointed at the abandoned gas station and, more accurately the person, standing on top of it watching everything from atop the roof.
“Oh shit…” Blueblood swore softly as his eyes widened at the sight of the person on top of the gas station. “Hey! You!” He called in a shout as he started to break out into a sprint towards the establishment, with the rest of the guys slowly following behind.
Cloud Kicker blinked in surprise as she saw the group of males running towards her and raised an eyebrow curiously at them. She wondered why they were running towards her instead of driving to her as it would be much faster and easier than running. “Hey…Hey I’m talking to you…on top…on top of the gas station!” Blueblood yelled in between pants as he ran down the road getting closer the gas station.
“It’s about time you got out of that car…I was getting ready to call an ambulance or something in case you were hurt.” Cloud Kicker shouted back with a smile as the first guy made it in front of the gas station and bent over breathing heavily, taking a moment to try and catch his breath.
“Nevermind…that! Did…Did you see…what happened?” He exhaustedly huffed in between breaths as he looked up at the girl on top of the building as the other three guys finally caught up to him, breathing heavily than him.
“Uhh yeah…and I recorded it too…” She honestly answered as she held up the phone she used to record the whole thing.
“God damn it!” The R34 driver shouted furiously as he kicked the ground. “Please…Please tell me you didn’t send it to anybody…” He then demanded as he finally caught his breath.
“Yeah…I sent to Vinyl…” Cloud Kicker once again answered honestly with a quick nod.
“Son of a bitch!” Blueblood swore again, kicking the ground once more with much more force.
“What are you going to do Blueblood?” Dumbbell asked curiously in a worried tone as Blueblood started pace back and forth slightly, trying to think of someway to fix this.
“Maybe she hasn’t done anything with yet…maybe there’s still time!” He then theorized in a hopeful tone as he snapped her fingers. “You tell her not to send the video or show it to anyone until I get there!” He shouted in a demanding tone at the girl a top of the gas station as he pointed his finger at her.
“Ok….sure…” The athletic female weakly replied with a shrug; for the first time lying as she intended to do no such thing.
“Let’s go! We got some damage control to do!” Blueblood commanded to his followers before they all started to run back to their cars up the road. Cloud Kicker watched them all curiously again and saw them all get into their cars and quickly speed off down the road to reach the end of the pass.
The girl shook her head in disgust and raised her eyebrow again. “Why didn’t those idiots take the turnoff? It would be much faster that way!” She vocally asked to no one as she looked behind her at the other turnoff point in the Gas Station’s parking lot that went to the other road that led back to Canterlot. “Dumbasses…” She insulted in a low tone as she rolled her eyes.
Vinyl bobbed her head and pumped her fist into the air as the crowd cheered some more in tune with the music as the video of the white NSX overtaking the black Skyline looped on the screen for those who missed it or arrived late. The crowd cheered more when Pinkie cartwheeled onto the stage with a backpack on. When she got to the center behind Vinyl and Octavia, she stopped and took off the backpack; she reached inside and started to pull out a T-Shirt gun.
She smiled brightly and loaded it before dancing to the left side of the stage and firing out a rolled up shirt to the crowd. She loaded it again and fired another shot and continued dancing while doing so before starting to dance over to the right where she fired another volley of T-Shirts into the very happy and cheering crowd all screaming and raising their hands to try and get a T-shirt.
“You having fun there mate?” Octavia dryly asked sitting in her seat as she observed the dancing pink haired girl with an eyebrow raised.
“Oh, loads and loads of fun!” Pinkie happily answered gleefully as she danced over to the black haired, curvy girl. “Here, want to have a go?” She offered excitedly as she held out the gun towards the sophisticatedly dressed girl. The taller girl said nothing and proceeded to raise her hand and push the object away slowly with an uninterested look in her mulberry eyes.
“Tavi dancing around on stage with a T-Shirt gun and actually having a good time instead of being a stick in the mud?” The much shorter girl next to her asked sarcastically with a grin as she looked over at the black haired girl with her tinted glasses on. “Now that shit I’d pay to see! Hell, I’d go as far as trade my car for that sight!” She then commented teasingly as she reached over and nudged the girl playfully.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you Vinyl, but I’d never partake in such impudent activities…the fact that I’m here is a miracle in and of itself.” Octavia responded in a monotonous voice as she reached her hands up and straightened the bowtie around her neck. “I’m afraid that I have standards, class, morals, pride, and most importantly…di-di-ha-hahaha!” She continued on before stopping and bursting out into laughter as she felt the thinner girl’s arms reach under her shirt and start tickling her sides with her fingers.
“What were you going to say at the end? Dignity?” Vinyl teasing asked with a smirk as she stood up from her seat, rested her head on the taller girl’s shoulders, and continued her relentless tickling. “Oh Tavi…you should know that you lost your dignity a long time ago the day you started rolling around with me Miss Octavia Melody.” She reminded her softly as she increased her tickling and made the girl laugh harder as if to prove a point to her.
“Vin-Vinyl-ahaha-I’m so going to-ahaha-to hurt you!” The victimized girl struggled to shout out in between laughs as she continued to sit there and let her abuser torture her with tickling.
“Not really resisting much…I think you liked getting tickled in public!” The attacker pointed out with a few giggles of her own as she moved her head closer to Octavia’s ear. “So where are those standards again Miss Principle Cellist of the Royal Musical Hall?” She whispered as she moved hands through her shirt and to her stomach where the girl started to laugh harder. Pinkie herself was laughing at the scene before abruptly stopping and turning to look at the road coming out of Gaira Pass, squinting her eyes to try and see better.
“P-haha-Piss off!” Octavia merely shouted weakly as she almost fell out of her seat. Vinyl was enjoying her torment of the girl until her glasses were lifted off her eyes which made her stop her never ending barrage of tickles.
“I need me borrow these!” Pinkie said seriously as she put the glasses on and looked at the turn again.
“What the hell…those aren’t binoculars you know!” The blue haired girl pointed out in a shout before she felt herself getting pushed off the taller girl and landing in her seat. “Damn Tavi! I was just trying to get you to lighten up!” She shouted at the taller girl as the girl merely ‘hmpfed’ in response and she straightened out her clothes, a light shade of red barely visible on her cheeks.
“Oh my gosh!” Pinkie shouted at the top of her lungs as she tossed the glasses back to Vinyl, which she barely caught, and then picked up the microphone. “Look it’s the super amazingly happy NSX from the video everyone!” She declared happily over the mic as she pointed at the road where a faint pair of headlights could be seen coming out of it. Everyone immediately turned and looked to spot the white Acura just now coming into distance.
“How the hell did you see that?!” The curious, pale girl asked in astonishment at the slightly taller girl as she put her tinted glasses back on. Pinkie didn’t response and instead tossed the microphone at her, which she barely caught again, and jumped off the stage into the crowd. “Hey, quit throwing my stuff at me! It’s not cheap you know!” Vinyl shouted at the girl as she disappeared into the crowd. She groaned to herself as she shook her head and threw her arms up in defeat.
“Guess we should head over there…you’re most likely going to need to talk to her and do a little interview or whatever.” Octavia monotonously pointed out as she slowly got up of her seat and looked at the smaller girl still sitting in her seat.
“Yeah, you’re right…let’s go!” The DJ agreed in a shout as she shot up out of her chair, jumped up onto the table with the microphone in her hand, and put her hoodie over her head. “Hold down the fort for us Neon!” She shouted the guy standing at the edge of the stage before she jumped off energetically like the girl before and went into the crowd that was starting to move towards the entrance. Octavia groaned and shook her head as she stood up and slowly walked to the edge of the stage to get off it properly.
Fluttershy brought the car to a complete stop and looked out to try and find Rarity, only to gasp in shock and horror at the sight of everybody in the racer’s gathering coming up to her NSX. “O-Oh dear!” She said out loud in fear as they quick came out of the entrance and started to walk up to her car, all with smiles and fists pounding the air.
‘Oh no…they…they’re going to hurt me…because I’m in this car…or worse…they know what I did and want revenge on me!’ She frantically thought as the people started to circle around her car, some screaming and whistling.
“I…I didn’t do anything! P-Please don’t hurt me or push my car over in anger!” She shouted out loud in her car as she looked around at the scary looking people. “Or at least let me get out and then you can push it over!” The frightened pink haired girl restated making another offer as she heard her passenger side door open, causing her to scream and look over at someone quite possibly getting in her car to drag her out and beat her up.
“Fluttershy!” A well-dressed purple haired girl called out in delight as she sat down in the passenger seat.
“Oh Rarity thank goodness it’s you!” Fluttershy replied in relief as she took a deep breath, delighted to see her best friend.
“Fluttershy, you were absolutely amazing! The way you passed that chump was truly a sight to behold!” Rarity congratulated as she leaned over and hugged her taller friend with a grin on her face. Unfortunately it was not making the poor driver feel any better, but instead worse as it confirmed her earlier thought of people knowing what she did. After all, if Rarity knew then surely everyone else did, and most likely they were furious and out for her blood.
“P-Please don’t say that Rarity! It’ll just make things worse!” Fluttershy nervously pleaded even more terrified as she looked around at her car continuing to get surrounded. “Let’s get out of here!” She then frantically screamed as she pressed down on the accelerator and got the car to move; the people in front quickly got out of the way as the white car moved forward. It broke free of the crowd and quickly sped down the road.
“Awww, why’d she leave so soon?” Pinkie depressingly said as she walked out with balloons and streamers, watching the white car speed down the road.
“Wow, they got out of here before anyone had a chance to talk to the driver…that’s unusual…most of the time they want to brag about their accomplishments and gloat…” Octavia commented as she and her compatriot exited the racer’s gathering. “I’m actually a bit impressed…whoever they are…definitely has my respect…” She then complimented as she folded her arms and nodded her head in respect to whoever the driver was.
“Yeah, but we don’t know who they are, or why they’re driving an NSX! The most important interview we ever did since like…ever…and they just drive off!” Vinyl complained as she threw up her hands with a sigh, shaking her head in frustration. “I’d try and chase that car down if my car wasn’t on the stage hooked up to like ten million things!” She went on as she turned around and pointed to her white 370z on the stage with a whole bunch of wires coming out of doors.
“Well, what are you going to do now?” The taller, more attractive woman asked dully as she looked at her shorter, near flat chested friend. The blue haired DJ bit her lip and twirled the microphone in her fingers before smiling and nodding to herself.
“Well…since we’re down here already, and we have nobody to interview…” She began excitedly as she pointed the microphone at her busty friend before putting it to her mouth. “Let’s get this show started!” She announced over the mic, immediately getting everyone in the crowd riled up and cheering loudly. The loudest, though, without a doubt was a pink haired girl who sounded like she was going to burst her vocal cords from how loud she was screaming.
“Alright, first I need any trackers, timers, and tapers still hear to go into the pass and get into position…and for anyone who wants to watch the race live and in person to enter the pass now, so we don’t have any mishaps or delays!” Vinyl explained in excitement as she got into the center of the road and pointed at the pass; immediately people began rushing back into the lot towards their cars.
“Second, I need the first two racers to get their vehicles ready and be at the starting line in ten!” She went on as she pointed to the painted lines on the road just right before the entrance of Gaira Pass. “And third…I need everyone else to get as pumped as possibly!” She finished as she pointed in the air and shook her hips which got the crowd to cheer and whistle. Octavia winced and shook her head at the display as her friend walked back over to her.
“Here, you can handle the rest…” She commanded in a cocky tone as she tossed the microphone at her.
“Where are you going?” She curiously asked as she caught the microphone and watched the shorter blue haired girl pass her.
“To take a piss...” She bluntly responded as she turned around and walked backwards, giving her tall friend a smirk. “Why…you want to come with me? That’s kind of weird Tavi. I’m not really into that stuff…but you know what they say…’Friends who piss together fis-!’”
“Get out of here!” Octavia shouted angrily as she waved her hand at the sick short girl who merely laughed and turned back around as she continued to walk away. “Annoying little brat…” She mumbled to herself as she shook her head and walked to the center of the road to direct any traffic and give instructions if needed.
Octavia stood out in the center of the road and gestured her hand towards the pass as cars came out of the lot. Occasionally, she raised her hand towards the cars signaling them to stop to prevent the roads from getting too congested; waiting a few minutes before waving her hand back to the road, signaling them to continue. Eventually, a good chunk of the lot had left to go find their spots on the pass to watch the upcoming races.
After the anointed time, the two cars scheduled to race first appeared at the entrance. The first was the grey Mazda RX-7 FC3S with one popup headlight sticking up, followed by the white Dodge Charger SRT-8. Octavia moved towards the entrance of Gaira Pass as she signaled the FC to take the left lane. The grey car’s engine sputtered as it slowly came out and went into its assigned lane as Octavia signaled the white car to take the lane next to it.
The white car’s engine roared as it came out and went into its assigned lane as well, coming alongside the grey FC as they slowly followed the tall girl as she backed up towards the entrance. She eventually stopped and watched closely as both cars approached her and towards the painted line. She raised her hand up to the Charger as it arrived first, making the car stop in place. Eventually, she did the same for the grey FC as well, making it stop next to white muscle car. She checked to make sure that both cars were aligned and gave a thumbs up to both cars when she confirmed that they were, making both cars shut their engines off.
She sighed to herself when it was finally done as she felt a pair of arms wrap around her neck and a heavy body jump on her back. She didn’t react or scream as she knew this feeling all too well. “So, is everything ready?” Vinyl asked giddily into Octavia’s ear as she hung onto the taller girl.
“Yeah…” She simply responded with a slight nod. “And you know I hate it when you do this right?” She then added a bit annoyed as she turned her head to see the pale girl’s face resting on her left shoulder.
“And you never stop me or try to get me off…I think you really like it when I press myself against you like this!” Vinyl pointed out in a teasing tone, making Octavia’s mulberry eyes go wide before looking away in embarrassment. “Hey, it’s no big deal…if you wanted to be my personal humanized pony and carry me everywhere all you needed to do was ask!” She mockingly added with a grin as she tightened her arms around the girl and wiggled a bit as if getting comfortable.
Octavia’s eyes shifted around as she started to blush lightly before she looked down at her watch. “It-It took you fifteen minutes to use the bathroom?” She responded with a stutter, changing the subject as she tried to sound angry instead of embarrassed.
“Hey, the nearest bathroom is like down the street and behind some stuff…” The light girl replied dryly as she pointed to a vague direction. Octavia looked at the back at the girl’s face and raised an eyebrow at her.
“You lied didn’t you?” She dryly asked as she narrowed her eyes at the shorter girl, only getting a smirk and a nod in response. “You just didn’t want to do all this did you?” She then asked as her eye twitched slightly in anger, again getting a playful nod in response. Octavia’s eyes twitched more before she raised her hands and forcibly removed the gloved ones wrapped around her neck, forcing the girl on her back down to the ground landing with a loud thud.
“I hope you piss your pants next time you actually have to use the bathroom!” The furious, black haired girl shouted as she turned around and threw the mic at the girl on the floor before storming off. Vinyl laughed to herself as she shook her head and got off the ground, knowing that this was a common occurrence between the two and later they’d be chilling in their apartment like always.
“Alright! Five minutes! Make your final preps now you two!” The DJ declared into the microphone as she pointed at the two cars.
“Yeah!” The bulky, white man in the Charger shouted in determination as a tall, slim man in a brown suit walked over to the FC and poked his head through the rolled down window. Vinyl chuckled at the sight and shook her head as the sound of another engine began to be heard from the opposite road. The blue haired girl turned to her right to see a black R34 slowly emerge from the pass and stop next on the road.
“Hey! Vinyl!” The blonde haired guy in the car shouted as he quickly rolled down the window and stuck his head out. “You got a video right? You didn’t happen to show this video to anybody right? It’s still on your phone or something right?” He then quickly asked a series of questions almost desperately as he smiled nervously at the blue haired girl.
“Uhhh…yeah I did actually…” Vinyl simply replied unconcerned as she pointed to the screen behind her of the looped video still playing.
“Shit!” He swore out loud angrily as he hit the side of the car with his hand. “Thanks a lot you bitch!” He then shouted at the girl as he drove away and rolled up the window, being followed by two other cars.
“You’re…welcome?” The glasses wearing girl replied with a shrug not really feeling offended by that insult at all.
The black Skyline, and the two cars following behind it, passed the two other cars parked on the other road and slowly pulled into the now fairly vacant lot. They drove into a very deserted corner of the lot and parked in a row. All the cars’ engines shut off and slowly the people inside all emerged from their cars. Blueblood breathed heavily as he looked around at everybody who was still around and noticed how they were all looking at him most likely laughing at him after seeing the humiliating display of him getting passed.
“Oh, damn man…” Dumbbell said as he looked at the screen and saw the video being played.
“I know…” Blueblood belted out in anger as he continued to look around seeing more and more people snickering and pointing at him.
“Now everyone’s going to-”
“I know!” He shouted furiously as he turned and pushed Hoops over onto the ground again, making everyone once again back away from him and give him space.
“So…what are you going to do now Blueblood?” Score asked nervously as he ducked slightly and hid behind Dumbbell as Hoops slowly got back to his feet.
“Well…we’re going to wait here and see if the white NSX shows up…I mean it’s bound to anyways…” The blonde haired leader answered angrily in denervation as he pointed his finger at the trio, making them all flinch in fear of being hit.
“What if she already left?” Hoops pointed out as he finally stood back up. “Maybe we can ask someone-”
“No!” Blueblood screamed as he kicked Hoops back down the ground, making the other two guys gasp and back as far away as they could from the big, burly man. “They’re all laughing at me right now…mocking me…internally judging me…the last thing I need to do is to face any of those assholes!” He said in a low growl as he narrowed his eyes and looked around back at all the people laughing and shaking their heads at him.
“Well, we’ll just wait here and see if she shows up…if she does we will deal with herm and if she doesn’t…I’ll find her tomorrow…” He commanded as he folded his arms and leaned against the black GT-R. The other guys all nodded as they backed away and went to hide in their cars.
“Ohhh poor thing…shhhh shhh…it’s ok…you can stop crying now…it’s alright.” A soft female voice said soothingly, which caught Blueblood by surprise as he looked over and saw a pink haired girl kneeling in front of the black Skyline and lovingly rubbed the hood with one hand and wiped the headlight with a tissue with the other hand.
“What the hell?” He shouted in shock and confusion as he turned to fully face the strange girl as she continued to wipe away the condensation off the headlight.
“Poor thing! Look what you did to this car! It won’t stop crying!” She scolded the driver angrily as she looked at him with a scowl on her face before looking back at the front of the car. “There there...it’s ok…he won’t drive you poorly ever again I promise…” She then gently said as she wiped the other headlight with the tissue.
“What the hell are you talking about?!” The driver of the car angrily shouted as he stomped over to the pink haired girl. “Stop touching the car, and get out of here!” He commanded as he reached down and grabbed the top of the girl’s shirt with his hand and pushed her away, making her stumble and almost fall over.
“Meanie pants! You don’t deserve to be near this car!” The girl shouted back before flipping him off with her middle finger.
“Get the hell out of here!” He bellowed as he raised his fist threatening to punch the girl. Pinkie huffed and shook her head at the guy before turning around and slowly bouncing away. “Geez, all I’ve been dealing with today is crazy girls…a crazy ex-girlfriend, her crazy friend in a car, and now this…” He muttered to himself in a low tone as he slowly walked around back to the side of the car and leaned against it again.
“What’s next?” He asked himself sarcastically as he looked up at the starry sky and shook his head in disbelief.
The white Acura quickly turned into the parking lot. Its engine humming as the car quickly rolled its way into a free parking space. The car’s engine quickly went dead, as did the headlights, before the driver’s door flew open. Fluttershy slammed the door shut and began to hurriedly walk to the entrance to the apartment building as the passenger’s door the car door opened.
“Fluttershy!” Rarity called out as she got out of the car and shut the door, getting no response from the pink haired girl as she continued to walk briskly away. “Fluttershy wait!” The purple haired girl frantically shouted as she ran up and got in front of her friend, stopping her from continue.
“You didn’t say a word to me all the way home!” She said seriously to Fluttershy as she looked down and hid behind her long hair. “What’s wrong?” Rarity then asked softly in concern as she reached out and put an arm on the taller girl’s shoulder.
“I…I…I’m sorry…I…” Fluttershy weakly apologized as she shook her head slightly. “I-I don’t want to talk about it…” She then said as she moved past Rarity and opened the door to the apartment, only for it to be forcibly closed by Rarity’s hand.
“Oh no…we’re not doing this ‘I’m not going to talk about it’ game where you tell me nothing, and I then I hear you crying from all the way down the hall in my room!” The purple haired girl said very sternly as she got directly in front of the depressed girl to block her way into the apartment building. “You should know I’m not just going to idly stand by while you’re like this Fluttershy.” She reminded her in a kinder voice as Fluttershy slowly looked up with tears in her cyan eyes.
“So, we’re going to stay out here all night if we have to…” She somewhat threatened as she put her hand back on her timid friend’s shoulder. “So I suggest you just come out with it and tell me what’s wrong.” She then advised with a quick nod as Fluttershy looked back down and hid behind her hair again. The tall girl turned around and slowly sat down on the step leading up to the door.
“Was it about how those people were all approaching your car?” Rarity suggested kindly as she reached in her back pocket and pulled out a large handkerchief, placing it down next to her friend before sitting on it. “You know they weren’t going to hurt you or anything…they were just wanting to see you and talk to you about what you did to my jerk of a boyfriend…and for good reason too.” She then said to her happily, trying to quell her fears if that was the reason she was upset.
“You were absolutely amazing Fluttershy…” She complimented in a cheery tone as she raised her arm and nudged her sad friend’s arm. “I still can’t believe you had it in you…you were simply divine darling!” She continued in a much louder and excited tone as she raised her other hand and moved it in the air to add visual flair to what she was saying.
“Please…do…don’t say that…” Fluttershy weakly protested with a subtle shake of her head as she continued looking down at the ground.
“Is that what you’re so upset about?” Her shorter friend asked curiously as she looked at the pink haired girl with a raised eyebrow. “Oh, Butterfly…come on…you have to admit that what you did was quite impressive…” She insisted with a smile as she nudged her friend’s arm again.
“I… didn’t really do anything…” Fluttershy denied with another shake of her head. “Well…technically I did it’s just…” She went on in a whisper before leaning forward and burying her face in her knees.
“Ah, that’s my typical modest Butterfly…never wanting to admit that what she did was a spectacular display…” Rarity replied with a giggle as she patted her friend on the back reassuringly.
“It wasn’t spectacular…it was actually terrifying…I was never so scared in my life…” The soft-spoken girl revealed; her voiced being muffled by her face still being buried in her knees as her arms quickly wrapped around them.
“Then why did you do it in the first place?” The fashionista curiously asked with a raised eyebrow as she titled her eyes at the melancholy girl.
“I…I don’t know…I really don’t…I…I just wanted to be helpful and useful to someone for once instead of pathetic and useless…” The pink haired girl answered in a whisper as she tightened her grip around her legs.
“Fluttershy…” Rarity softly called in a gentle voice as she reached over and brought her friend into a tight hug, making the pink haired girl gasp and raised her head slightly away from her knees. “You are anything but useless…” She encouraged truthfully as Fluttershy leaned back up, making Rarity break the hug to let the girl sit up.
“And for what you did…thank you…you are the best friend I could ever ask for…more so in fact…” She then thanked gratefully with a smile and a quick nod. Fluttershy’s eyes widened slightly before she leapt forward and brought her friend into a hug, returning the one she gave a few seconds earlier.
“Feeling better now Butterfly?” She teasingly asked as she smiled and returned the hug, feeling the taller girl rest her chin on her shoulder.
“Yes…thank you Rarity…” Fluttershy answered softly and honestly with a nod.
“Good…now let’s get off this dirty ground and go inside…you’ll feel better after a nice hot shower and a manicure trust me…” The purple haired girl happily suggested as she broke from the hug and shot up off the ground, reaching a hand out for her friend to take.
“Alright…” The still sitting girl agreed with a giggle as she took her friend’s hand and got on her feet. They both smiled and laughed softly before turning around and entering the apartment building.
Blueblood paced back and forth impatiently right beside the black R34 as the other guys all sat next to the brown RX-8 playing rock, paper, scissors. “Yeah, paper beats scissors! I win!” Hoops declared happily as he held his flat hand up much to dismay of the two other guys. Blueblood grunted and shook his head at the stupidity of the three while Dumbbell took out his phone and checked the time.
“You know it’s been like an hour dude…” He pointed out as he turned his phone around and held it towards the still pacing blonde. “I don’t think she’s coming…” The shaggy haired man then said as he slowly stood up from his spot along with the other two.
“Yeah…I guess we should-” He began to agree before stopping as they all heard the faint sound of an engine. The people in the silent lot all began to look around confused as they were sure the next race was coming from the opposite end of Gaira Pass, and it wasn’t even ready yet which is why there was this down period.
“You hear that? It sounds like it’s coming from the city.” Hoops pointed out as the engine sound slowly got louder.
“Whoever they are, they seriously have guts burning rubber at that speed in the city.” Dumbbell added as they knew that it was rare for a racer to be speeding through the city as they were always supposed to be on the secluded and empty mountain road.
“I know that sound! I could recognize it anyways!” Score excitedly shouted as smile instantly appeared on his lips. “It’s my darling bride to be! The Princess of the Night!” He declared excitedly as he began to run towards the entrance to greet her.
“N-No way! Are you sure?” Blueblood shouted at the now running man as his eyes shot open as wide as they could go.
“Oh, of course! That’s a 3.8 liter VR engine! It’s only in the newer GT-R, and there’s only one person in the city who owns that car!” The black haired guy screamed back happily as he continued running, not even looking back as the engine’s roar continued to grow by the second.
“Wow, she’s really cranking that engine if it’s this loud already!” Dumbbell commented as he whistled, not noticing the blonde haired guy next start to shake in terror.
“Oh crap, I got to get out of here!” Blueblood yelled in fear as he turned around and scrambled to the black R34. “I didn’t let her know I was borrowing her car!” He then cried in a squeal of terror as he jumped into the driver’s seat and put the key into the ignition.
“What! I thought you said she let you take it!” Dumbbell replied as he rushed up next to the car as the car’s engine tried to start but failed.
“I lied! Of course she wouldn’t! I kind of took it in the hopes that she wouldn’t notice since she has like eight of these things and…” He truthfully admitted as he continued to turn the key in the ignition numerous times and every time, failing to start the vehicle. “And why the hell is this piece of shit not starting!” He then screamed furiously as he continued turning the key, hitting the steering wheel with his other hand in a desperate attempt to try and get the car to start.
The engine’s roar continued to grow at a phenomenal pace as the sounds of tires squealing could now be distinctly heard. Everybody left at the gathering, all turned their attention to the entrance, seeing Score reach there and look out onto the street with a bright grin on his face. The sounds of the engine and tires grew to an ear piercing pitch. Immediately afterwards, a black car appeared at the end of the street under the lights with its headlights off. It rapidly approached the entrance and turned into at an unbelievable speed, a trail of smoke appearing behind it as the rear end slid out.
It drifted into the lot, almost hitting Score as he tried to go up to the car to greet the driver. Then it straightened out as it entered the mostly vacant lot. Its brake lights came on as it started to finally slow down before violently turning, once again leaving behind a trail of smoke as it began to drift around the lot, everybody left backing away giving the car room as it continued to turn and spin before turning towards Blueblood as he got out of the R34. It sped towards him before violently stopping in the center of the lot, facing the now terrified man as the headlights suddenly turned on, casting its light upon him and the car.
“There she is…the nocturnal woman who commands every race she gets into! The girl who dares drive in pitch black darkness without any assistance from her headlights!” Score began to introduce in awe as the car’s engine shut off. “Even being shrouded she flows through the toughest of turns with grace and elegance. The one who has a passion for rare imported GT-Rs…and through her passion makes legends out of each and every one of them!” He went on in a respectful tone while walking towards the black car.
“Her skill unmatched and her technique far more advanced than the foolish peons she shares the roads with! Our beautiful and divine Princess of the Night!” He declared as his voice turned into a shout as the driver’s door slowly opened.
“Luna! The one and only Nightmare Moon!” He finally finished as he got on his hands and knees while the driver started to get out of the car. A woman wearing a dark blue suit stepped out of the car. The tall, very busty, beautiful girl with long, flowing dark blue haired turned her head and looked directly at Blueblood with her moderate cyan eyes.
“Oh my dear and heavenly ruler of the night! I welcome you to this humble gathering!” He proudly greeted as he bowed his head while Luna shut her door and began to walk towards Blueblood. “Oh! Can I get you something to drink my divine goddess, something to eat perhaps? Or maybe you would like to punch me in the face to relieve some tension?” He offered frantically as he jumped up and rushed towards the gracefully walking woman. Luna said nothing to him or didn’t even acknowledge him as she kept walking towards the terrified man standing next to the black Skyline.
“You know…just step on me my Princess! If I am unworthy for you to talk to then let me be your floor upon which your delicate feet can step on!” He then quickly offered in a desperate tone as he ran out in front of her and laid down on the ground in her walking path. Once again the tall, curvy girl said nothing or reacted in any way as she stepped over him and continued her trek towards Blueblood.
“Why won’t you acknowledge me?!” Score sadly shouted as he continued to lay on the ground watching his dream girl walk away from him, making Hoops and Dumbbell shake their heads in disgust.
The tall, business woman continued to walk up to Blueblood as he backed up against the black car that got him in so much trouble. When she finally reached him, she stopped a foot away from him and stared into his eyes before smiling pleasantly. “That’s a really nice car you have there…” She complimented in a sweet tone as pointed at the black Skyline.
“Th-Thanks…” Blueblood nervously thanked with forced smile and a quick nod.
“As you might know…I am really fond of GT-Rs…they’re my favorite cars…” Luna told him as she moved her hand over the angular hood. “I own them all actually…and as far as I was aware…I was the only one who owned them in this city.” She happily informed him as she lovingly stroked the hood with her hand.
“So I’m quite curious…as to where this one came from Blueblood?” She then finally asked innocently as she looked at him and titled her head a bit.
“J-J-Japan?” He squeamishly answered before the girl in front of him kneed him violently in the groin. He screamed in pain as he bent done, only to feel one of Luna’s feet sweep him off his own sending him down towards the ground. The formal looking girl bent down and grabbed his arm, twisting it violently and bringing him into a lock as she pressed her right foot against his back.
“Ah! Ah! Assault! Assault! This is assault!” Blueblood cried out in pain as his face was pressed against the ground.
“Oh no, I’m just delivering some justice to someone who performed grand theft auto!” Luna responded in a dark cold voice as she pressed her foot deep into his back, making him holler in pain. “What the hell were you expecting when you steal one of my cars?” She angrily asked as she lowered her head down towards his to better hear his muffled screams and cries of pain.
“I wasn’t…I wasn’t stealing it! I …I was borrowing it because my car is still in the shop!” The blonde man with dirt on his face frantically responded before screaming out in pain as he felt Luna twist his arm more.
“Then you hitch a ride with one of your ‘friends’, or take a cab, or you freaking walk!” She suggested furiously as she grabbed his head with her free hand, pulling it up closer to hers. “You don’t ever…EVER think about getting in of one my cars much less take it for a joyride!” She shouted into his ear as loud as she could before shoving his face into the ground.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” He frantically cried as he kicked his legs and moved desperately to try and get free. He had no luck and only found more pain as the passenger side door of Luna’s Nissan GT-R V-Spec opened.
“Luna!” A younger, shorter, skinnier, less attractive girl called out as she got out of the car, catching everyone’s attentions. “I think he’s learned his lesson you don’t have to be so hard on him.” The moderate-sapphire haired girl with a two different shades of purple stripes going through it said softly as she shut the door and looked at the older girl with her moderate violet eyes. Luna said nothing and didn’t move at all as she just stared at the shorter girl angrily before taking a breath and loosening her grip slightly.
“Hi Twilight! Good to see you again!” A pink haired girl happily shouted as she jumped up and down in the crowd. The college girl briefly looked at the excited girl and cringed slightly in discomfort before looking back at Luna.
“W-What I really want to know about is the race he lost.” She said with a slight stutter, ignoring the outburst of the pink haired girl and instead keeping her focus on the taller girl in front of them. Luna’s eyes went wide like saucers as her mouth dangled open for a brief second before she gritted her teeth and looked back down at the future corpse.
“You lost a race in my car!?” She angrily shouted as loud as she could, so loud that Blueblood’s hair moved from the force of her voice. She twisted his arm tighter and forced him back on his feet. “Trunk! Trunk! Twilight! Open the trunk!” She frantically commanded as she started to force the ruffed up man to her GT-R.
“What?! No No! Please don’t…Please I-I’m begging you!” The tall guy desperately pleaded, tears forming in his blue eyes as he was continuing to be led to the newer GT-R.
“You’re lucky I’m not tying you to my bumper and dragging you home!” The angry Skyline owner threatened in a shout as she twisted his arm more and caused him to cry out in pain, making tears slide down the sides of his face.
“Luna! Y-You really need to calm down!” Twilight frantically said to the livid girl as she started to walk over to the girl to make her stop.
“Calm down?!” The dark blue haired girl repeated back furiously as she looked at the shorter girl, making her stop in her tracks. “My car was stolen by an idiot who wouldn’t know the difference between asphalt and his ass crack. He loses a race in it which damages all our reputations and tarnishes the legacy of our family which my sister has been building a name for since before he was born!” She reminded Twilight as her grip on the guy’s arm and hair tightened, making him cry in pain.
“Forgive me if I seem a little distraught!” She then sarcastically remarked before focusing her attention back on her captive. “Come on! You’re going to have a pleasant ride in my trunk…and you know what…I’ve been just dying to test out the new suspension I put in my car, so I think I’m going to take the long and bumpy way home!” She dryly threatened him as she began to once again lead him to her pitch black car.
“An NSX, I lost to an NSX!” Blueblood frantically screamed as he started to openly cry in fear of being forced inside a trunk and living through that hell.
“You dare lie to my face! Especially when considering how deep in shit you already are?” The aggressive and attractive woman yelled back in disbelief as she shoved him back on the floor, pressing her foot against the back of his head. “You know damn well my sister hasn’t even looked at her car in over three months and you dare try and tell me that she suddenly got in it tonight and just randomly came here to teach you a lesson instead of telling me that you stole my car?” She reminded him as she dug her foot into the back of his skull and forced his head into the ground, making him holler in agony.
“You know what!? I changed my mind! Twilight, get the rope from the back of my car! I really am going to drag you home from my back bumper!” The moderate blue eyed girl then instructed to the college girl in front of her as she pointed to her car.
“Luna!” Twilight shouted in horror, her eyes going completely wide as she couldn’t believe that she was going to resort to this. She knew her older sister and mentor would not approve of this; so there’s no way Twilight would ever let this happen in front of her!
“I’ll teach you to lie to my face and use my sister to try and save your sorry ass!” She threatened furiously as she breathed heavily and looked down at the future ragdoll dangling behind her car.
“It’s true! It’s totally true!” The pink haired girl happily shouted as she bounced out of the crowd and towards the woman in formal attire.
“Who are you?” The Princess of the Night asked in a demanding voice as she looked up and narrowed her eyes at the approaching girl.
“She’s…Pinkie Pie…the one who told us about the car being here…” The college girl answered reluctantly and nervously as she looked away and rubbed the back of her head.
“I suppose I should thank you for telling me about this asshole’s doing…” Luna began in a low growl as the girl continued to bounce towards her. “But…I’m confused as to why you’re lying to try and protect him now…” She then said as she raised her eyebrow at the pink haired girl.
“No, it’s totally true! Here, I have proof!” Pinkie shouted happily as she bounced right up to Nightmare Moon, reaching down her shirt and taking out a phone that was previously hooked up to the stage. “Watch and see!” She then energetically requested with a smile as she held out the phone that had a paused video on the screen. The dark blue haired girl looked at her and the phone suspiciously before reaching her hand out and taking the phone. She moved the phone in front of her face and clicked the video, watching it and soon going wide eyed at it.
“I…Impossible…” She uttered in complete shock in disbelief as she continued to watch the video.
Fluttershy held a carrot out for her bunny, Angel, to eat. She smiled and giggled at the sight of the white rabbit grabbing it and eagerly eating the large carrot before hearing a knock on her front door. She looked at it curiously before slowly walking over to it. She slowly cracked the door open to see who it was, not wanting to open it fully since she was in her Butterfly themed pajamas and gasped when she saw it was her best friend.
“R-Rarity?” She called out in surprise as she opened the door fully to her purple haired friend who was in a lavish set of white and purple laced pajamas.
“Hello Fluttershy…” Rarity greeted cheerfully with a smile as she eyed her best friend and giggled. “I see you’re living up to your nickname again.” She teased as she walked into Fluttershy’s apartment, hiding something behind her back with both hands.
“Wh-What do you want…is…is it something important?” The pink haired girl nervously asked as she shut the door after her friend entered.
“Oh, it’s something vitally and crucially important my little Butterfly!” The azure eyed girl said very seriously with a stern look on her face before quickly revealing what was behind her back, shoving it up in front of the taller girl’s face.
“I-Ice cream?” The timid girl said in a stutter as she read the label of the large tub of ice cream.
“No! Not just any kind of ice cream!” Rarity refused with a shake of her head as she quickly turned the tub around. “Break up ice cream!” She happily declared as she pointed to the hand written label on the other side that read ‘Break up Ice Cream, use only in case of break ups’ like it was a fire extinguisher or emergency axe found on walls of public buildings.
“Really?” Fluttershy replied with a few giggles and a smile upon reading the handmade label.
“Why of course! I was just dumped, and as you know a lady must always have an emergency tub of break up ice cream for such occasions!” She explained in a somewhat serious tone as she pointed to the tub. “And since I know you’re not feeling well either…I came here to share my tasty treat with you.” She then said as she tilted her head slightly and pointed at the taller girl.
“I don’t know Rarity…it is your break up ice cream after all…” Fluttershy responded softly as raised both her hands and shook her head softly.
“Oh, come on Butterfly…you can’t expect me to eat it all only to feel horrible tomorrow upon realizing I gained like five pounds!” Rarity pouted with a faux look of sadness on her face.
“Well…” The cyan eyed girl unsurely said as she rubbed the back of her head.
“It’s your favorite kind~!” The paler girl playfully pointed out as she pointed to the side of the tub to reveal that it was ‘Double Fudge Brownie Delight.’
“I’ll get the spoons!” The pink haired girl immediately replied as she darted past the girl and into the kitchen part of the apartment.
Rarity giggled in amusement as she went over to sit on the couch, watching her friend open a drawer and pull out two spoons. Fluttershy quickly rushed back her friend, jumping on the couch next to her happily as the purple haired girl set the large tub between them. The pink haired girl licked her lips as she handed Rarity a spoon and watched intently as she slowly removed the lid off the tub. Both girls immediately dug in, sticking their spoons into the large tub, taking out large of scoops of the chocolate delight, and then quickly shoving it in their mouths.
“Oh, that’s so good!” Fluttershy commented in joy, reveling in the chocolate taste that was now overflowing her taste buds.
“It really is quite divine isn’t it?” Rarity quickly agreed with a nod as she dipped her spoon into the tub get for another scoop. “The perfect way to close out a relationship!” She then happily said before putting the spoon filled with ice cream in her mouth.
“You sound really happy for someone who was dumped.” The girl next to her remarked playfully as she reached her spoon into the tub for another scoop.
“Of course Butterfly! I have ice cream!” The azure eyed girl teasingly said back as she waved her free hand at the taller girl, causing them both to giggle and laugh.
“You…you know what I mean Rarity…” Fluttershy began as her giggles died down. “You don’t seem heartbroken at all!” She then pointed out before eating another large spoonful of ice cream.
“I guess I never really loved him now that I think about it…and when he broke up with me I was more angry than heartbroken…” The dumped girl admitted truthfully with a shrug. “Oh, but the way you dealt with him on the road took care of that problem and more so!” She then happily declared as she smiled and pointed her spoon at the girl next to her.
“But I didn’t…” Fluttershy began softly before looking away, thinking deeply about something before shaking her head and looking back at the girl. “Do…Do you think people will remember that…like how they were coming up to me earlier…I…I don’t want this to turn into a huge problem…” She fearfully asked the girl next to her as she gently prodded the tub of ice cream with her spoon.
“Oh please Butterfly…those people see hundreds of races a week…” Rarity immediately responded, waving her hand dismissively at her. “I’m sure it’ll be forgotten about tomorrow when a more exciting and appealing race catches their eye.” She explained dully before dipping her spoon back into the tub of ice cream. Fluttershy took a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement before taking another spoonful herself.
“Oh, but one person will remember it…” The fashionista went on now sounding happy before quickly taking a bite of the fudge brownie flavored ice cream. “And it’s going to hurt him for the rest of his days, and that’s what counts!” She then gleefully squealed as she slightly danced in her seat almost in victory.
“You’re really sounding happy…” Fluttershy commented with a smile and a shake of her head. “You didn’t really need this ice cream did you?” She then playfully asked as she raised her eyebrow at the girl next to her and took another bite of the ice cream.
“Oh, but I did! It is break up ice cream after all!” Rarity insisted in a playful tone as she leaned back and put a hand to her chest to appear dramatic.
“You know…I’m starting to think you’re just using this whole thing as an excuse to eat ice cream…” The cyan eyed girl replied as she shook her head and dipped her spoon back into the tub.
“Oh, it’s not an excuse Fluttershy…it’s ice cream with a specific purpose…” The purple haired girl went on trying to defend herself. “I didn’t say I had to be upset or sad over the matter…I just needed to be dumped or broken up with.” She then revealed as she pointed her spoon at Fluttershy and winked at her, making Fluttershy giggle and shake her head again.
“Now if I was actually deeply in love with him…” The azure eyed girl pondered as she looked up at the ceiling, theorizing in her head how this would transpire if she did have deep feelings for Blueblood. “I’d probably have like three of these tubs scattered on this couch…” She then said with a smile as she looked down and waved her spoon around as to show the space that would be taken up by the three large tubs of ice cream as opposed to the one.
“Well, let’s hope when you do find love it won’t turn out that way…” Fluttershy replied softly as she took another bite of ice cream.
“Yes, that won’t be for a while though…” The thinner girl responded with a shake of her head. “I’m not going to go out and look for love like last time…I’ll just wind up with someone like Blueblood again…” She revealed as she dug her spoon back into the tub of ice cream, narrowing her eyes slightly at the tub.
“Instead, I want someone to swoop in and dazzle me!” She went on as she took the spoon out and looked at the ice cream inside of it with a smile. “I want a kind hearted person to come to me and treat me like a lady…taking me out and showing me the town…eating at many wonderful restaurants and having a lot of fun…” She explained in a dazed sort of tone as she moved the spoon around in the air.
“I want them to respect me and what I have to say. I also want them only to tell me that they love me when they really mean it a very private and secluded…Hey!” She continued before stopping as she heard light giggles coming from her friend.
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…” Fluttershy softly apologized in-between giggles as she covered her mouth with one hand and waved her other hand at the girl next to her.
Rarity pouted and folded her arms for a few seconds before smiling and giggling herself. “I guess that did sound a bit cheesy and ripped from a trashy romance novel didn’t it?” She eventually said with a nod as she thought back on what she said and understood why her friend started giggling.
“Yes…” The taller girl agreed with a nod as dipped her spoon back into the tub.
“Well…what about you?” Rarity asked suddenly, catching the other girl off guard as she looked up curiously at her friend.
“What about me?” Fluttershy asked back in bemusement as she blinked a few times at her.
“I mean what kind of romance are you looking for?” The purple haired girl more accurately inquired with a slight giggle at her friend’s denseness.
Fluttershy leaned back in surprise as a light tint of red appeared on her face, not expecting that question and certainly not prepared for it as she never thought of romance in her life. It never occurred to her especially since she only had two friends in her entire life, one of them being her current friend Rarity and the other being a childhood friend that she never saw again after elementary school. She almost made a third friend, but that went up in smoke before it even began. So, if she has a terrible batting average with friends then love is certainly out of the question; to her that wasn’t really a problem though as she just wanted a friend to spend time over anything else.
“I…I don’t really want romance to be honest…I really just want a couple of friends…people who like me and treat me like a person instead of bullies me…” Fluttershy eventually answered softly as she looked down at her hands and twirled her spoon in her fingers. “I’m tired of being alone and defenseless when you’re not around…” She went on as she felt herself start to choke up from the sadness of being mostly alone in her life and instead bullied to no end.
“Oh Butterfly…I’m so sorry…I’m sure you’ll make a few friends soon…” Rarity comfortingly said as she reached over with her free hand and gently put it against her shoulder.
“I…I actually almost did make one today…” Fluttershy admitted softly as she decided to bring up the strange girl she met for the first time to Rarity.
“Really?” The purple haired girl simply said back in surprise, her eyes widening a bit.
“Y-Yeah…a-at the gathering…she was nice…if a little loud and rude…confident…pretty amazing actually…” The girl in Butterfly themed pajamas began to explain as her spirits started to lift and a smile formed on her face, not going unnoticed by Rarity as her eyebrow slowly lifted at the sight of this. “She actually complimented my car at first and said I was her friend…” She then said almost exhilarated as he lifted her head and grinned happily.
“But…then…” The timid girl lowly said as she lowered her head back down; the smile completely wiped from her face in an instant. “She…figured out what my car was and…left immediately, wanting to be as far away from me as possible…” She softly revealed as she felt herself tear up upon admitting that.
“Oh Butterfly…” Rarity softly called as she leaned over and brought her friend into a gentle hug.
“It…It’s always like this…all because of a dumb car…I was this close to making a new friend until my stupid car ruined it again…” The now quietly crying girl struggled to say as tears started to slide down the sides of her face.
“Fluttershy…” The shorter girl called in a whisper as she stroked the taller girl’s hair. “It will be ok…I’m sure…I’m sure they are your friend…” She then said as she slowly broke away from the girl and turned the girl’s head to face her.
“W-What?” The crying girl muttered in disbelief as her glistening eyes widened slightly at the azure girl in front of her.
“If she was like you said she was…then I’m sure she was just shocked and a bit put off by the car…but if she really said that…then a silly vehicle isn’t going to come between that…” The more lavish dressed girl happily said with a smile as she raised her hand and wiped the tears off of Fluttershy’s cheeks.
“You…You really think so?” The now hopeful girl asked as a smile slowly formed across her lips.
“I know so Butterfly! Trust me!” Rarity shouted supportively with a nod. “I’m sure you two will be the best of friend soon!” She predicted with a giggle as she tilted her head slightly at her friend.
Fluttershy’s face lit up in glee as she smiled brightly and nodded back, now feeling much better and actually excited at the prospect of Dash being her friend. She was so excited and happy that she couldn’t contain herself and opened her mouth. “Yay!” She cheered as loudly as she could, which amounted to nothing more than a quiet whisper.
Luna’s mouth continued to hang open, even viewing the video numerous times. “I…I can’t…fathom that…that there’s another NSX out there with the same color as my sister’s…” She said softly in disbelief as she as she lowered the phone down and got off of the guy that stole her car.
“Yeah, her name’s Fluttershy, and she’s likes to put regular gas in her car instead of high octane!” Pinkie happily said to the taller girl as she took the cell phone out of her hand.
“Fluttershy?” Luna repeated in a whisper as she watched the girl slowly bounce away towards Twilight.
“Yeah, she’s the bitch that humiliated me…I broke up with my girlfriend today, and she sent her after me to embarrass me!” Blueblood hissed angrily as he slowly got up off the ground. “I so would’ve beat her actually…but I think something’s wrong with your R34 Luna…I mean it’s an all-wheel drive car that performs like shit on dirt!” He then shouted as he wiped the dirt from his face and looked at his distantly related aunt.
“That’s because it’s not an all-wheel drive vehicle, you moron!” The dark-blue haired girl darkly pointed as she turned back narrowed her moderate-cyan eyes at the blonde man.
“Huh?” The light blue eyed man simply replied as he cocked his head a bit and arched an eyebrow slightly at her.
“That is my rear-wheel drive R34 that I use for easy drifting and show…it’s not for racing, especially on dirt!” Luna explained angrily as she pointed to the black Skyline behind him. “Of course, you should’ve known that as soon as your started driving in it, but apparently as long as it goes forward that’s good enough for you!” She then insulted him as lowered her arm and shook her head in disgust.
“Hey, it’s not like I normally drive that car or anything!” Blueblood replied as he raised both his hands, trying to save what little dignity he had left. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie gave Twilight the phone she took from Luna, so she could watch the video.
“You shouldn’t have been driving it at all!” Luna screamed furiously at him as she walked up to him, making the man flinch in fear and back up. “Now shut up and count your blessings that you aren’t in the trunk of my car right now!” She threatened darkly as Twilight began watching the video on the phone.
“Hey, I think that’s the car the girl at my college drives…” The college girl pointed out upon seeing the video and the white NSX . “Yeah, a 2005 Acura NSX Refresh….it’s definitely hers…” She confirmed confidently with a nod before looking up to see Luna quickly walking over to her.
“You knew about this car before tonight?” Luna asked the shorter girl in shock and frustration as she walked right up to her.
“Well yeah, I’ve seen it around campus a few times…” Twilight began calmly, not even flinching or reacting at all at the threatening girl’s advance and tone. “I don’t really know the driver personally though…” She then said as she looked back down at the phone to finish watching the video.
“If you saw a car that only my sister drives, wouldn’t you have at least made an effort to speak to her?” The Princess of the Night angrily suggested as the video on the phone finished playing. “Didn’t Celestia tell you to be active and make friends?” She then reminded her darkly as Twilight handed the phone back to Pinkie Pie, who smiled and bounced away.
“Says the girl who everyone fears and almost shoved her cousin in the trunk of her car.” Twilight dryly replied as she looked at the taller girl with a raised eyebrow, catching Luna off guard as she blinked a few times in surprise and recoiled ever so slightly.
“Look, it didn’t bother me. I just thought she was a huge fan of Celestia and drove that car to pay to show her respect or something…” The moderate-sapphire haired girl explained with a sigh as she folded her arms and took a step back away from the taller girl.
“Twilight…that’s the ultimate form of disrespect when it comes to racers!” Luna lividly disagreed, getting her composure back as narrowed her moderate-cyan eyes at the college girl. “I mean how would you feel if the car you drove around for so long and are recognized for…was also being used by other racers?” She then asked as she pointed at her, trying to put the girl in her and every other famous racer’s situation.
“I’ve seen a few Impreza’s driving around like mine…it doesn’t bother me…” Twilight honestly answered with a shrug, making Luna groan shake her head in revulsion.
“She just doesn’t get it does she?” Blueblood asked as he too was shaking his head, making the tall girl focus her attention back at him.
“Do you want to see the inside of my trunk?” Nightmare Moon yelled at the man as she pointed at her car, making Blueblood shake his head frantically. “Then shut the hell up!” She then demanded as she pointed at the guy who was nodding his head in agreement.
“I don’t get why this is a problem…” Twilight spoke up as she held up a finger; wanting to get Luna’s attention so she wouldn’t do any other rash or mean things to the tall man.
“It’s a huge problem!” The curvier girl shouted back as she looked back at the skinny girl, making Blueblood sigh in relief behind her. “It’s the most embarrassing thing to quite possibly ever happen to us!” She then declared as she stomped her foot on the ground angrily.
“Tomorrow, when that video goes up everybody in Canterlot…no Equestria…is going to see that imposter NSX tearing my GT-R a new one without any background information or knowledge as to what’s going on!” She began to explain as she pointed behind her at her black Skyline with her left hand as her right hand reached into her pocket and pulled out her smartphone.
“Rumors and speculations will flood the forums and discussion boards about what’s going on which in turn damages our credibility and our reputation…the second you screw up and get shown up…is the second your career goes tumbling down the hill into oblivion!” She went on as she raised her phone up and then pointed at it.
“Ever see someone get blasted all over the net?” She asked rhetorically as she put her phone back in her pocket. “It’s not a pretty sight!” She quickly answered for her with a shake of her head.
“So how are we going to fix this?” The moderate-violet eyed girl asked as she tilted her head, now fully understanding the situation.
“Well, since he’s the asshole who lost he has to make up for it.” Luna answered with a groan as she backed up slightly away from Twilight. “In his car! Not in my car!” She quickly added in a shout as she turned around and walked towards the frightened man, grabbing him by his shirt collar.
“Find her then…challenge her…and beat her in a race so bad she’ll regret ever setting foot in that car!” She instructed in a low menacing tone as she pulled his face closer to hers and scowled at him. “That’s the only way to redeem yourself and not drag down all our names in the mud!” She finished as she tossed him away from her, making him stumble and almost fall down.
The blonde haired man breathed heavily as he regained his balance and quickly straightened out his clothes. “Don’t worry…I’ll get my revenge…there’s no way I’ll let a humiliating defeat at the hands of a commoner stand!” He eventually replied to the dark-blue haired woman in a determined tone. “I swear I’ll get her!’ He then shouted angrily as he raised his hand up and clenched it into a fist.
“Oh, you will...because if you screw up again…” Luna began with a slow nod before stopping and smiling slightly. “Well…I’ll just say that after I’m through with you you’ll be wishing I shoved you in the trunk of my car!” She then threatened in dark manor as she walked right up front of the now sweating man.
“Understand?” She simply asked as she pointed to him, making Blueblood gulp nervously and quickly nod back. “Good…” The Princess of the Night replied as she lowered her hand, reached into his pocket and pulled out the keys to her car before turning around and walking back toward Twilight.
“You’re driving my R34 home…” The Skyline owner commanded as she held out the keys for the shorter girl to take. Twilight nodded and took the keys, starting to walk towards it before the angry owner grabbed her arm and pulled her close to her. “If I see one scratch, dent, or ding on it...” She lowly threated in an intimating voice as Twilight looked up to see her narrowing her eyes at her.
“Don’t worry…I’ll be careful Luna…” The college girl replied back calmly, not even fazed by that remark as the tall girl let go of her.
Luna turned and watched the girl walk up to the black R34 and get inside of it. Twilight put the keys in the ignition as the pink haired girl bounced up in front of the black car. The moderate-sapphire haired girl turned the keys to try and start the engine but failed, so she tried again and got the same results. Twilight gulped in fear as she looked out to see Luna, now looking more furious than ever, turn to face an equally terrified Blueblood.
“I-It started when I was using it…she must’ve broken it or something…” The frantic blonde haired man said in his defense as Luna slowly started to advance towards him.
Twilight bit her lip before looking at the steering wheel and trying to start the car again, yielding the same results. “Come on…” Twilight whispered in fear as she wanted the car to start, so Luna wouldn’t harm the guy who most likely caused this problem in the first place.
“Shhh it’s ok…it’s not that big meanie pants Blueblood…it’s Twilight…” Twilight heard the pink haired girl outside the car say in a gentle tone as she looked out to see the girl gently rubbing the hood of the car. “Yeah Twilight…that’s right…oh yes she’ll take great care of you…I know it…so you don’t have to be afraid…” She happily said to the car with a smile as Twilight raised an eyebrow at her. The driver then shook her head before looking back at the steering wheel and turning the keys, immediately starting the car with the engine firing on all cylinders.
“What the…” Twilight muttered in disbelief as she gently pressed down the accelerator and revved the engine up to a loud roar.
“Ohhhh, this car really likes you Twilight!” Pinkie commented happily as Twilight looked up to her smiling back at her.
The college girl opened her mouth to say something, but closed it and shook her head as what she was going to say was the most illogical thing she could ever possibly think of. Instead, she looked out to see Luna looking back a bit calmer as she pointed at the girl who was still in front of the car. Twilight nodded back before moving head out of the door so the pink haired girl could clearly hear her.
“Uhhh could you please move Pinkie…I don’t want to run you over…” Twilight politely asked with a nervous smile, wanting to girl to move away, so Luna wouldn’t yell at her more than anything else.
“Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie agreed happily as she bounced away, making Twilight sigh in relief as she moved her head back into the black car.
“Alright we’re leaving…” Luna commanded in a stern tone as Twilight looked over to see her walking back to her car; she nodded slightly even though she couldn’t see it and shut the door to the car.
“Hey, what about me?” Blueblood asked frantically as he followed behind the girl as she reached her GT-R.
“You’re walking home…” Luna dryly answered as she put her hand on the door, not even looking at the guy next to her.
“You can’t be serious!” The blue eyed guy frantically shouted back in disbelief as his mouth hung open.
“Would you rather take the alternative?” The Princess of the Night asked back as she pointed to the back of her car.
“No…” He softly answered with a shake of his head as the still pissed off girl opened the door to her car.
“Oh, and just to be safe…” She began as she put a foot on the inside of her car and stood up so her top part of her body went over the roof. “I, your Princess of the Night, Nightmare Moon, hath something to decree!” She then shouted to the crowd in her normal tone of speaking voice when addressing other people.
“Henceforth that no one shalt drive this asshole home tonight! If you do I will find out, and I will come after you! Then you and him shalt share the same fate and double the fun in my trunk!” She commanded angrily as she raised her hand a pointed it to the guy next to her car who was walking away trying to hide his face.
“Understood?” She merely asked the crowd as pointed at them, making everyone nod in agreement. “Great!” She happily responded before turning towards the other black GT-R and snapping her fingers at it.
She then moved her hand and pointed to the entrance before the Skyline’s engine roared. It slowly started to move and turn, heading towards the entrance. Luna watched it intensely as it passed Blueblood and drove up to the entrance. It briefly stopped before turning and heading down the road at a casual speed. Luna sighed as she got in her car and shut the door, turning the engine on shortly afterwards. The engine screamed as the tires squealed against the road as the car slowly started to move, kicking up a lot of smoke.
The curvy black GT-R slowly turned and headed towards Blueblood, picking up more speed as the tires burnt against the pavement. The blonde man backed up in horror as the car drove directly towards him; he tripped and stumbled over as the car continued to close in on him. He closed his eyes as the car violently turned, swinging the back end out and missing him by barely a few inches as the smoke from the tires completely covered up Blueblood. The black GT-R then rapidly picked up speed as it headed towards the entrance. It barreled onto the road, not even braking, as it turned and headed down the road. The loud engine thundered as the car flew down the road in pursuit of the older GT-R that left earlier.
Blueblood coughed and waved his hand in the smoke covered air as it slowly disappeared. “Blueblood!” He heard his three friends call as he saw them running up to him.
“Here, let me help you!” Dumbbell offered as he lowered his hand for Blueblood to take.
“Get away from me!” The furious blonde screamed as he swatted his hand away and got up on his own.
“I was just trying to help!” The shaggy haired man replied as he backed up slightly and shook his head while Blueblood looked around at the crowd to see people snickering and laughing.
“Unless you can reverse time and save me from this humiliation then no!” He shouted back as he turned around, not able to face the crowd again. “Being beaten up, almost shoved into a trunk, and forced to walk home...a driver of my caliber deserves better!” He said softly in anguish as he faced the road where he saw the GT-Rs drive off on.
“I can drive you home!” Score happily offered with a grin as he put a hand on Blueblood’s shoulder.
“Aren’t you worried about Nightmare Moon shoving you in her trunk?” Hoops asked slightly in concern as he arched an eyebrow at his friend.
“It’s ok; she can put me anywhere she wants! I’ll gladly be shoved in her trunk!” The black haired guy cheerfully replied as he turned and gave a thumbs up to his two compatriots.
“Dude…you have issues!” Dumbbell shouted in response as his eyes widened and took a few steps back from his strange friend.
“Yes, and that issue is love!” Score insisted passionately as Blueblood’s eye began to twitch in annoyance.
“No, there’s love and then there’s just fu-”
“Would you three shut the hell up?!” The blonde haired man angrily shouted, making the trio go silent and recoil in fear. “You’re just adding to my embarrassment!” He went on as he looked back to see the three guys backing away from him.
“Honestly…” He then softly said as he looked back at the road. “I’ve never been so humiliated in my life…” He bitterly snarled as he gritted his teeth and narrowed his light blue eyes.
“Fluttershy…I swear to god…I will get you and make you regret making me suffer this indignity!” He promised to himself as the three guys behind him all looked at each other with nervous looks on their faces. “You’ll rue the day you ever crossed Blueblood of the Canterlot Regals!” He finished loudly with determination as he clenched both his hands into fists.
“Goodnight Rarity…” Fluttershy sweetly said to her friend as she walked out the door into the hall.
“Goodnight Fluttershy…I’ll see you in the morning!” The tired, purple haired girl happily replied as she began to walk down the hall to her room next door. Fluttershy smiled and quietly shut the door before turning around and heading to the small cage that contained her little white bunny.
“Goodnight Angel…” She softly said to the already sleeping rabbit who was lying on his back with bits of carrot all over his slightly pudgy tummy. Fluttershy giggled at the sight of her lightly snoring bunny before walking over to her room.
The pink haired girl yawned as she shut the door behind her and locked it. She slowly walked over to her bed and plopped down on it, slowly moving under the covers and putting her head down on the soft pillow. She wiggled slightly to get as comfortable as possible before reaching her hand out and turning off the small light on her nightstand. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as the thoughts and memories of what happened today started to flood her mind.
‘I almost can’t believe all the things that happened to me today…’ She mused internally as she realized that the day she had was anything but typical, especially for her. ‘Meeting a blind girl, getting into a race with her driving, and almost having her as my friend…it’s all unbelievable…’ She reminded herself in order as she could still very easily visualize the short girl in her mind.
‘I just…I just wish the last one was true above all else…’ She sulked slightly in her mind as the one thing she wanted the most slipped from her grasp. ‘Maybe Rarity is right…maybe we will meet again…and maybe we will be the best of friends…’ She then positively thought as a small smile slowly curved on her lips.
‘Yeah…after all she really just dislikes my car…if I get rid of that or trade it I’ll have a new friend!’ Fluttershy happily thought as she knew what the source of all her pain and misery was and what she had to do to fix it all. ‘An amazing girl like her…able to drive at incredible speeds without the use of her sight and able stand up for herself despite being over a foot shorter than me…someone like her being friends with me?’ She then giddily thought as the thought of her being her friend sent warm feelings all throughout her body.
‘As Rarity would say…’ She began in her mind as she giggled slightly. “It would just be the…best…possible…thing…” She softly uttered as sleep began to overtake her, ending the day completely unaware of the events that were to transpire the falling day.
Along with the trails that would follow it.
“Hey! Here we are with another incredible rendition of Me Car Time!”
“Today, we’re going to talk about the main rival car for this act. The Nissan Skyline GT…wait what?”
“We’re talking about the RX-8? …why?”
“Yeah, but it’s a background car that like appears for like…I don’t know…two scenes?”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right…if we did do all the main cars we’d be done by act ten…okie dokie lokie then…”
“Today we’re going to blah blah blah Mazda RX-8!”
“It’s the successor to the very popular and more powerful Mazda RX-7…duh…I mean eight does come after seven in most circumstances…even I know that!”
“And I also know that seven ate nine! Hehehe!”
“Oh…right…topic…sorry Twilight…”
“The Mazda RX-8 is a strange car as it uses a weird engine known as the Wanking Rotating Engine!”
“What? Oh, I mean…the Wankel Rotary Engine…which is different from a normal engine since all the parts in the…thing…rotates I think…unlike other normal engines which uses piston….thingys…I’m so confused!”
“Anyways…the car was released in 2001 and went up until 2011, getting all sorts of neat and super changes and variations!”
“The one that Dumbbell drives is the second generation one which looks different and performs slightly better than the first generation due to its lower weight, lowered gearing, and better suspension!”
“He mostly uses it for daily purposes and to tote around his friend, Hoops, as he doesn’t have a car…”
“Occasionally he does take it out for some thrills…though…honestly…he…well…isn’t good at it at all…and his car cries more often than not due to this and him scraping against the walls and ruining the paint!”
“Though, it’s not a problem for him…as he and his friends own a small body shop! So he and them always buff out the dents and dings on their cars…though when they break down…that’s another sad story…”
“Honestly, he’s a big meanie and doesn’t deserve that poor mistreated car! You should totally go beat him up Twilight!”
“Yes you! I can’t do it! I was made to party the fun way not the mean way!”
“You won’t do it either? Well…is there like a place we can send a note to for like mistreated and abused cars? I mean they have them for children, old people, and even animals, so why not cars?”
“Quit shaking your head at me Twi! You know it’s a super idea!”
“Oh right, the topic…”
“Uhhh…the car Dumbbell has is a five speed manual that has like less than two hundred horsepower…”
“Uhhh…I got nothing…”
“Alright, we’ll end it here…I can’t wait to do one of the main rival cars later on! I mean next week I get to talk about the Corvette C6 ZR1! The Blue Devil! I’m already excited!”
“Wait…I have to talk about what car next week?”
“Awwwww!” Next Chapter: Rival Origins 1: Blueblood Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 43 Minutes
