High Flying Time
One day after Tirek's rampage throughout Equestria, two Pegasus ponies, named Swift and Rapid Run are flying above Ponyville together. Since they've helped out other ponies and gotten their magic back, thanks to a group of ponies, these two have fallen in love with each other.
"Great day for flying," Rapid Run said to his girlfriend. "Yeah!" Swift called back, "I know it is!" "A great day for racing," Rapid Run said. "Well, right," Swift said, "But we're not doing that today." "Nope," Rapid Run said, "Now let's keep on flying! I've heard that they got an amazing cloud!"
"Right!" Swift agreed and both ponies flew.
Just then, they passed by a group of Pegasus colts, sitting in the clouds. "Hey some kids," Swift said. "Who are they?" one colt asked.
Both Swift and Rapid Run stopped when they heard that. Rapid Run flew slowly to the group of young ponies. "Well," he said, "My name is Rapid Run and this is my girlfriend, Swift." "Hi," said Swift. "Are you really flying?" one of the colts asked.
"Well, yes," Rapid Run answered back, "Didn't you see us?" "You're flying was lousy!" another colt said out loud, "You two are lousy fliers!" "WHAT?!" Rapid Run and Swift said together, insulted. "That's it!" Swift shouted, "We'll show you punks how well we fly together!"
"What my girlfriend said," said Rapid Run. "Prove it!" the colt said. "We will," said Swift, "Let's race!" "So much for that," said Rapid Run.
And so, the Pegasus ponies decided to have a flying race. The colt who had insulted both Rapid Run and Swift has challenged the two. "Let's make this fair," said Rapid Run, "A fair race." "Ok," the colt who insulted the two said. They were given the rules and instructions.
"I have an idea," said Swift. "Ok," Rapid Run agreed, "You're my love. Go right on ahead." "On your mark," another Pegasus colt called out, starting the race, "Get set! Go!" And the colt was off first, Rapid Run and Swift followed behind.
"Let's fly average first," Swift said to Rapid Run, "Then we'll go all out, and give that punk a big surprise!" "Good idea," Rapid Run agreed. So they decided to pace it out first. The little colt was far up ahead. "Easy breezy," he said with confidence. He was unaware of Swift's plan.
In about 10 minutes, he was nearing the finish line. Rapid Run and Swift were close behind. "Now!" Swift shouted and without another word, both ponies took off suddenly. "Surprise!" Rapid Run called to the unsuspecting colt.
"What?!" the little Pegasus colt exclaimed as both Rapid Run and Swift crossed the finish line together at high speed. "Oh no!" the Pegasus colt cried, but it was too late. "We've won!" both Swift and Rapid Run cheered together.
"This is embarrassing," the little colt said. "Now we've shown you what amazing fliers we are!" Swift said to all the Pegasus colts. "That's right," said Rapid Run. "Sorry," the colts all replied together. "We forgive you," said Swift, "Just don't act like a little brat like that ever again."
"Deal," the little colt said and he and his friends decided to go home for the day. "Swift," said Rapid Run. "I'm glad that I've met you." "Same here," Swift replied, "I love you." "Me too," said Rapid Run. And they hugged each other in the air. "Aw," the little colts said at once.
