The next morning Twilight Sparkle awoke the next day next to a wall of green fur. She was so tired. To tired, in fact, to realize that that wall of green fur was her crush, Garfield. When she realized it was her eyes grew wide with shock.
"Ah." She let out a sigh of relief and breathed him in ever so slightly… He smelt of fresh pine trees. She looked up and saw the sun rising. "I might be the first one up." She slipped quietly from Garfield, immediately missed his warmth.
As she was heading downstairs she heard loud crunching noises coming from the kitchen. She came to see Rainbow Dash in her Wonderbolt uniform eating cereal.
"Hey twilight." said Rainbow Dash. "What's up?"
"Rainbow Dash, what are you doing here?" asked Twilight.
"Don't you remember?" she asked now getting up out of her chair. "Garfield and I have to race today."
"Oh, right…" says Twilight who completely forgot about that. "Well I can go get him if you wa- wait… how did you get in here?"
"The door was unlocked."
"Oh, okay."
"Hey gals." Said Garfield said Garfield sleepily
"Hey Gar." They said simultaneously
"Garfield, did you forget about the race?" asked Rainbow Dash
"Race?" asked Garfield "What ra-" he hoofed palmed "Oh what the- how did I forget?" he grew wings and flew up stairs to get his uniform.
Rainbow Dash giggled "He's funny."
"Yeah," added Twilight "and so cute."
They both sighed dreamily
"WHAT?" they both said "YOU LIKE GARFILED?"
They stared at each other in shock. Then they got over their shock and glared at each other getting in a fighting position.
"He is my stallion, you cloud eating bi-"
"Get your snotty Canterlot self away from him!"
"Hey gals I'm back." Garfield said on his way back down the stairs.
The girls quickly changed their pose to an inconspicuous one. They both greeted him.
"You ready to go Rainbow?" asked Garfield
"Whenever you are." she replied. "To bad Twilight can't come."
"Why?" Twilight and Garfield asked.
"Twilight broke her balloon, Everypony else is already there. So she can't come in time." She looked triumphant.
Twilight was close to tears. "Right…it's-its fine."
"Yes she can…" said Garfield quietly. They both looked at him. "I got an idea. Rainbow open the doors for me then go outside and wait for me."
Rainbow Dash did as she was told. Soon enough Rainbow Dash heard a scream and saw a streak of green. With a huge gust of wind that followed. She followed the green light and saw Garfield carrying Twilight in his hooves. He gave her the goggles, obviously more worried about her safety then his. At the speed he was going he could go blind!
"Garfield, slow down!" she shouted at him getting next to him, but having trouble doing so. "You'll hurt yourself!"
Garfield laughed "'Slow-down'? I didn't know that was in your vocabulary."
After a few minutes of flying they could see the stadium in the distance. "We're almost there, but we're running a little late."
"At least we're showing up." Garfield replied. "Look, they've already started the ceremony." They did indeed have started the ceremony.
"How are we going to stop?" Rainbow Dash asked. "At this speed you really can't."
Garfield laughed a sad little laugh "You know what, I've been thinking that myself…"
"And?" she asked.
He gave Twilight to Rainbow Dash and said "Be careful…" and flew ahead towards the Wonderbolts who know saw them as everypony else in the stadium did now.
Garfield began to make a tornado, but he alone couldn't have done it. While he was circling around Rainbow and Twilight, he saw all of the Wonderbolts on their way towards him. They were trying to help him make the tornado!
The Wonderbolts quickly took action by making a tornado that could slow them all down. Twilight and Rainbow were stuck in the tornado making them all slow down.
The crowd cheered, even though it wasn't the real race/performance. They put Twilight with their other friends.
"Why are they cheering?" asked Rainbow Dash
Garfield laughed "Because," he said "We're alive." They went over to join the other Wonderbolts, who looked as thankful as the crowd to see them alive.
