Chapter 4: the big race!

(an: I'm so excited to write this for all you guys! I hope you all enjoy the big race! I do not own mlpfim's characers-except for thrust.)

It was a day for the big race, perfect for flying in. The sun shone down comforters and filled everyponu with exitemeny. The wind was nice and not there, you could feel the tension in the air with a butter knife. Thrust and rainbow dash woke up and stretched in prepararation of the coming event. Then they flee down to where the obtacle course was, and found soo many poniescoming out to scream on rainbow dash: twilifh sparkle and applejack and rarity and pinke pie was there, standing next to the cakes and granny smith and pipsweak the pirate and glinda and Joe. Dr whose and derpy(of the same name) were also there ro support rainbow dash. Rainbow dash was both flattered and humbled thats oo many ponies had come to cheer her on. She blushed deeply and bowde too the jubilant crowd gathering to give her moral suppurt. Thrust gave her a pat on the back and said:

"it's showstime fast-dash!" encoragingly and confidentally. He knew she was going to win because he had seen first-hoofedly how good a flyer she was! Just then, the cuite march crusaders charged up to her, balancing a tray with a glas on it on their heads.

"hi rainbow dash!" they said "oh hey there cmc, how nice of you!" "we just wanted to wish you good luck on the race today and we brought you a glass of crazzaple cider! Applejack made It just for you!" they all said with great eagerness and adorashion. Rainbow dash is a very nice pony and she thanked them earnestly for their hard work, going down to thank them better. Buy while she eas thanking them, Trixie the mean showiff appeared behind rainbow dash! And while nopony was looking, she put a POISONED CUPCAKE into the glass of water! She churgled meanly at her sneaky feet, then ran away. Just then, rainbow dash finished thanking the three young filles and turned to drink hersellf-a cool tall glass of cider-one she did'nt know was poisoned by trixie. As she reached for the glass, thrust saw what was happening and yelled NNBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!desperate to avoid rainbow dad getting drinker the piosoned drink, he threw himself in her way, picking up the poisoned drink and DRANK OT HIMEELF! He violently fell asleep. Rainbow dash, seeing the spasms and realizing what was going on sad "NNOOOOOOO!" distraughtedly. The cutie mark crusaders looked horrible and sad: they thought that they had almost poisoned rainbow dash?! "were sorry" they said. "it's okay, it wasn't you, trixie must have done it." rainbow dash forgave consideratly. Then she leaned over thrust's sleeping form and whispered-I will avenge you-in his ear. Then she went off because the race was about to start.

The crowd was frothing as rainbow dash entered the starting line, much to trixie's enragement-"THE BELAROUSE AND WONDEROUS TRIXIE DEMANDS YOU TELL HER HOW YOU DIDN'T... She stopped her thundering tyrade when she realized she almost revealed that she tried to poison rainbow dash so she couldn't fly. She regained her composure and boomed thearticly "THE DEMONSTRATIVE AND POTENT TRIXIE WISHES TO INFORM YOU THAT THE RACE WILL START SOON, PLEASE GET TO YOUR STARTING PLACED!" she roared brütally at rainbow dash. When rainbow dash approached the starting line, she noticed that... There was another poni standing there, and they were dressed in the mare-do-well costume that rainbow dash had seen before when she was the hero of pony ille! (an:she still is a hero, it's just that ponyville didn't need her heroine-ness anymore because building stopped fallen apArt). She wondered who it was: it couldn't be here friends, they were all sitting in the stands, shouting courageful things at her. She disnt got the chance to think more about it though, because just then trixie walked up smugly and said "THE SHINING ANd GLORIOUS TRIXIE WISHES TO REMIND YOU THAT THE FIRST ONE TO CROSS THE FISHING LINE WINS THE PRIZE" she waved a big flag with a cool black and white pattern on it three times as she chanted the words 3...2...1...GO! and then the race began,

and the crowd eroopted as rainbow dash and the mysterious somepony went thru the ovstacle course. Rainbow dash came across the first obstacle, a series of flashy blades that seiped thru the air. It looked scary but thanks to her training she zipped right though it like it wasn't even theirs. 'too easy!' she thought! But she soon realized that it had been easy for the mysterious somepony two, becaese who was flying rifht next to her.

The crowd was going wild at the sight of rainbow dash flying through the death-defying obstacles with ease. Twilight sparkle shouted at the top of her lungs: "YOU ROCK RAMBOW DASH! YOU CAN DO IT!" spike-her also nice pet of twilight sparkle-joined in yelling "YOUR DO'ING GREAT!" meanwhile trixie fumed and seared with jealousy.

Rainbow dash was now on the second part: poles were stuck in the ground she would have to zig zag thru them if she wanted to continute! She agilloly swam thru them, weaving-in-between the metal poles in with incredible skill. She almost broke into a sweet except she didn't because she's waay to good at athletics to be tired so quckly. Just as she thought all was well, she realized it was'nt-the mysterious pony in the maredowell pony costume was her heels and wingtips. "who are you?" inquired rainbow dash while barrel flipping in between to poles. The pony in the mare-do-well costume didn't say anything, but kept in flying. Rainbowdash thought about who it could be: 'it isn't trixie, she's not in the race,' she pondered 'it isn't the mayor either, because she's in the crowd. I would say that it's thrust because they fly really good, but he'sbeen drugged to sleep!' just then, she saw what was to come next...

Back in the stands, everypony was still screaming their support from rainbow dash. Fluttershy and all the animals that live in her hair were there to: barking or waddling or waving their wings to help cheer on their hero. Greoge the big grizzly bear was there too-waving his hairy arms and grunting with enthusiasm and gratitude to help rainbow dash. Fluttershy yelled out "WAY TOO GO! FAST-DASH!" she soon got all the ponies chanting- fast-dash, cha cha cha- fast-dash cha cha cha! "heeeyyyup!" said big macentosh(whose applejacks older brothel and is also nice.)

Trixie was lividly furious! She couldn't believe how well rainbow dash was doing on her flying obstacle course! She fumed angstily and grumbled into her carriage to get something?...

Rainbow dash was on the next part of the obstacle course, it had hoops that WERE ON FIRE! and moving back and fourth. She realized that this was a lot like the wonderbolt training profam that she had completed before. But if she messed up she would be ON FIRE! with no water to pour herself out on for forty miles! She was'nt sacreds at all because rainbow dash is super brave and cool. She mustard up her strength and heroic bravery and flee screaming with ubridlrd vengance and passion into the fire. The hoops were very hot because they were on fire but the heat didn't deter everypony's favorite flying Pegasus. She flew right thro them like they were made of paper. She whizzed and zagged in between, thru and around them, not even having to slow down because she was soo good at it! The mysterious somepony had to slow down (an: she is good but she is not rainbow dash) and all he or she could do is fly slowly while shaking their hooves at rainbow dash in defiance. She was'nt to far beehind thow, because she was still a pretty good flyer. Rainbow dash saw the next part of the race and was very suprised!-there were rock eels everywhere! Trixie had filled the floor of the next part with holes that had rock eels in them! Rainbow dash had to fly very nimbly and delicately between them. She flew by, missing the rockbiters by mere inches! -there's so many of them- though rainbow dash in a whirl of adrenalone mirrowly dodging the ferral and pungent teeth of the one closest to her. She couldn't efford to slow down or stop, so ogniong she went, zipping and rolloling in between the fearsome jaws of the rolling eels. She zippered right through the mouth of the last one and let out a primoral roar of triumphant victory echo from her lips. Meanwhile mhe mysterious some pony was beginning to catch up-she intimidated the rock eels with a very serve look and they hestated: in the time they hesitated she flew right past them like gearse lightning. She wasnt tied with rainbow dash was still ahead of her, but... ... she was getting closer!

Meanwhile the dastardly and leecherouse trixie von lullamona was clubbing onto the stage, carrying a big suitcase with herr magic. She lobbed it onto the stage with her magic, and using the same magic-she opened the chest and withdrew... ...A DYNAMITE CROSSBOW! "THE SENTIENT AND GAGANTUAN TRIXIE KNOWS THAT IT'S A DOG-EAT PONY WORLD: YOU EITHER EAT OR BE SEATED!" trixie the unkind and cruel mumbled theatrically - then, like a scottsman readying his cabertoss that will win him the gold olympus, she slowly raised the dynamite crossbow and took aim with it... ...AT RAINBOW DASH!

Rainbow dash was humming through the brigh and beiutifal morning sunshine when the air next to her exploded with a caukafonus ka-bomb and gunpowder! It blew rainbow dash! And sent her sailing- head o're hell: through the air, spinning like a ragsoll in the washing machine, except she was in the air-not a washing machine. Trixie crackled with meticulous glee and prepared to fire off another shot at rainbow dash! Oh no! Rainbow dash was good at flying and had plenty experience at this sort of thing so she quickly recovered. She picked herself up, dusted herself off and continued on. There was just one porblem, RHE MUSTERIOUSE SOMPONY HAD NOT BEEN HIT WITH DYNAMITE AND WAS NOW FLYING IN THE FIRST PLACE! Just then trixie fired off another shot but she didnt get the chance too because the cutie mArk crusaders and rarity and applejack and the diamond dogs tachled her, knowing the illegally dangerous weapon out of her magic! "we believe in you rainbow dash!" they all said with the ponies in the crowd joining in! Rainbow dash thought aboit all the ponies chering her on and she just knew that deep inside of her: she was going to win the race! She took of like speedy rocket into the sky! catching up too RHE mysterious somepony in seconds! It was the final home stretch before the end of the race and the two competitors were neck to neck in a dead tie while moving. Their slim yet very muscular bodies spun their wings very fast on their hinges in a frenzied effort to out-race their opponents. Rainbow dash felt her heart blow up like a hot air balloon of gratuities and heroineism when she heard the ponies in the stands and the ponies holding trixie down thunder their enamoration at her-and it gave her the strengh to fly even faster than before. She strummed past the mare do well costume and was almost at the Finnish line. "THE GRATEST AND IRREDESCENT TRIXIE SAYS NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" hollered trixie with respiration and she called on her minions flimflam and flam who pulled on a lever- something on the finish gate and an iron gate began descending over the finish gate so there was no way through. But rainbow dash didn't give up, she knew she was going to thrill all of the ponies who had come out to see her. She decided it was time to bring out her secret weapon-the sonic rainboom!

The iron drawbridge was descending fast and closed before rainbow dash could reach it, but she concentrated on all the harmony stemming from all the ponies cheering her on and used it to perform a sonic rainbowm, which barreled through the iron gate like it was

Made of plastic wrap! She sailed victriorusly over the finish ribbon and won first place! The crowd flooded with unhinged euphoria thatswept rainbow dash up. She took a bow to thank the audience for being so wonderful. Just then mare do well took off her mask-IT WAS CHERRILLEY!
