Lost But Happy
Chapter 9: The Race
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDave had sed good-by to Dipsy and started walking back to the library when a rainbow blur rushed past him almost knocking him over. Something caught him. “Im sorry dear Rainbow Dash is just feeling confident today.” A very high-class voice sed behind him. He turned to see a pony with a curly purple mane. “As a matter of fact i dont think we have met. My name is Rarity.” Dave nodded. “My name is Dave. Nice to meet you. Anyway that was Rainbow Dash? she seems a bit active today.” He turned and looked at the rainbow blur flying around. “Yes it seems she wants to practice today so she pushing herself.” Dave was a bit irritated at this. “Hey Rainbow Dash!” He called her. She stopped and flew over to him. “What do you want? Cant you see im practicing?” He nodded slowly. “I see almost knocking people over is a skill of yours.” She blinked then got in his face. “Well at least i dont stand as still as a rock!” “At least i dont act rude when I do bump into someone!” Rarity saw it was hopeless stopping them. They kept going back and forth until finally, “Then lets have a race!” Rainbow Dash yelled at him. Rarity looked up surprised but Dave just stared at her with rage. “When and where?” Rainbow Dash looked confident. “From the edge of town to the Everfree forest. That should be far enough. We’ll start in a few hours.” Dave gave her the stare. “I’ll be there.”
The time it took him to get to the edge of town was time enough for Rainbow Dash to tell the hole town about it. When he finally got to the starting line almost the hole town was there to watch. “Hey slow poke.” Rainbow Dash called. “What took you so long?” He looked at her with the same sneer. “It’s a wonderful day so i thought id walk and see the sights.” Rainbow Dash crouched on the make-shift starting line. “Ya grate story now come one and get on the line.” Dave did so, Pinky Pie had somehow found one of those huge bloon things and had a mega phone. “We are here to witness a almost one-sided race agents ponyville’s very own Rainbow Dash and the new pony Dave!” Everyone cheered, one-sided? Oh its on. “Ready!” They both crouched lower on the line. “Get set!” They tensed. “GO!” They both took off tied at first but Rainbow Dash quickly gained speed and shot off into the lead. “dang it!” He yelled as he tryed to pick up speed but failed. He then remembered he was a unicorn and did what he did when he first met Rainbow Dash, he sent magic to his hooves and he started catching up. What he saw almost made him trip, he could see the sound barrier start to bend in front of Dash. It soon broke and she shot off faster then she had been going. “A sonic Rain-Boom!” Pinky yelled into the mega phone. ‘I have to do something if im going to at least catch up.’ He thought then decided to try and brake the barrier himself. But the same thing dident happen, his mane and tail turned dark and started leaving a trail behind him. The power he had built up exploded and he shot forward except he had more of a impact on his surroundings, trees got knocked down and some even up-rooted and followed him a ways, windows broke and the ground cracked every time his hooves hit the ground. He was now neck-n-neck with Rainbow Dash as they neared the finish line. They both zoomed past it. “OH MY GOSH!” Pinky screamed into the mega phone. “It looks like a tie folks!” Dave and Rainbow Dash almost ran into a couple of trees. When they had finally stopped they were both out of breath. Pinky Pie landed not to far away and bounced over to them. “That was amazing!” She looked at the both of them then stared at Dave. “how did you do that? That was so cool! It was like a huge explosin of dark stuff!” Dave looked up at her. “what? What happened?” he got up and walked over to see the effect he had on everything. Dark lightining crackled all over where he was running and the ground was scared with cracks, some trees had been up-rooted and throw all over the place, and all around town there was shattered glass. “Wow....” Both Rainbow Dash and Dave muttered as they looked at the damage there was that went on. “And i thought Twilight was good with magic...” Rainbow Dash muttered.
