Quick note, the character Tori belongs to my friend Vickyt36, vicky you know very well why I'm saying that. I hope you do anyway.

(The next day)

Honey was onboard the hive with the other racers in her flight suit, reluctantly signing a permission slip for a field trip Sophie had coming soon. She shoved the slip into her flight suit and went to meet the other pilots, there were 2 aliens from the game that was sponsoring this race, an imperial named commander Rudor who flew a tie defender which was a stronger tie fighter. Tails was there wearing a white and yellow space suit. Tori was there with someone named Sharpshot, flying a special forces tie fighter. Honey felt very nervous, so she hid away from the other racers. She looked at her engagement ring.

"Oh Zeke, I wish you were here right now. I really need some encouragement" honey said to herself

"Hello miss Potts"

Honey was startled seeing a large cyborg man in front of her. The man shook his head and coughed

"Oh, hey mr, uh, what's your-

"Grievous, General Grievous. I'm in lucys anger management group, we've met several times yet you never remember me. I am here to bestow a gift from Lucy"

He reached for his waist which was covered with lightsabers and pulled a gold ring bracelet from it.

"That's really nice but I don't need Lucy to buy me jewelry, despite how pretty it is" said Honey

"This bracelet has been modified to make you brave and forget about all your fears. Simply put it on" said Grievous "Lucy is unavailable so her droids asked me to deliver this"

Honey put the bracelet over her right arm and slid it under her sleeve. Surprisingly she felt a lot better.

"Yeah, I feel great" said Honey

"Good. I'll see you soon" said Grievous before walking away to a starfighter of his own. Before the race began, Calhoun and Felix approached Honey with a code box. Upon activating it, a brand new x wing fighter materialized, colored black and yellow, just like a bumblebee. It matched her flight suit well.

"Good luck queen bee, you're gonna need it to get past the blockade" said Calhoun

"Wait, blockade?" Honey asked nervously

Before honey could react, she was shoved into her fighter and prepped for liftoff. The race was being recorded by camera drones who explained there was no rules in the race but to win at any cost. A race track materialized through the lenses on honeys helmet and the race began. It started over the planet Raxon, now under lucys control. After some flying around the dockyards, a space bridge opened sending the racers to Equestria. Nearly half the imperial navy was there, with something being constructed in the distance. Multiple tie fighters launched from the destroyers to protect the blockade. Honey put one hand over her new bracelet, hoping it's effects would kick in.

"Attention pilots, this is Moff Raythe, I am the governor in charge of this primitive pony planet. This planet is under imperial control and is off limits in the ongoing war with that lunatic princess Lucy. Turn around now or be destroyed"

Honey didn't listen to his demand and pushed forward. She fired her lasers at the ties and dodged the turbo laser fire from the destroyers. Those space race guys weren't so lucky, but she heard they hit their panic buttons and were sent straight to Lucy 1. Suddenly, several ships came out of hyperspace, droid ships. Honeys targeting computer showed dozens of fighters heading towards the blockade, led by a ship with the callsign 'Soulless 1'.

"Ignore the imperials. Just get through the blockade"

"Grievous?" Honey asked

"I will hold them off while I can" said Grievous

Grievous and the vulture droids following him began their attack on the star destroyer Punishment, distracting the turbo laser batteries while Honey and the remaining racers flew by

"Hey, I'm on your side you idiots!" Rudor shouted

His defender was shot by a turbo laser, and while he was still flying, he lost his shields, angering him.

"We got a perfect shot Tori, finish that imperial off" said Sharpshot

"This feels wrong. The first order was once the old empire. And I don't feel right cheating" said Tori

"The old empire was weak and the old emperor was a fool. We are the best, and we need to make an example. Shoot him down" Sharpshot ordered

Tori closed her eyes and pulled the trigger, blasting the tie defenders wings off. This didn't feel right at all. She kind of wished she wasn't a tie pilot right now, but where would she go? This game? Didn't sound too bad she thought.

Tails was in a slight lead ahead of Honey, which he was happy about. On his dashboard was a picture of his girlfriend Zooey, a yellow and white vixen who unlike him, had one tail. She was waiting for him with his friends on Lucy 1. He hoped to win the race to get them respect after all the bullying they got for their games reputation.

Besides the imperial occupation on the planet, Equestria in Honeys eyes seemed beautiful. It was still a young planet and had a beautiful landscape of forests and lakes. A castle was being built outside the main settlement. The old droid fort was also passed, and it was littered with droid tanks and ships, from the looks of them, they took quite a beating

"What did Lucy do to these ponies?" Honey asked herself, since the ponies were clearly bothered by the droid army, or what remained of them on the planet

After flying a bit, all 3 ships entered another space bridge to Aquis, a water planet in the galaxy home to fishing villages and beautiful tropical islands. There was little imperial presence on the planet, perhaps the droid army reclaimed it? Honey continued following the track and was able to pass tails, gaining a lead. Sharpshot was furious he was losing and began shooting at Tails' plane.

"Sharpshot stop! This is wrong" said Tori

"We are the best, not this mutant fox" said Sharpshot

"Then you can win this race without me. I'm never going back with you" said Tori

Tori ejected from the tie and landed in one of the small villages. Back with Honey, she was nearing the space bridge when she saw tails taking damage. She pitied the poor fox. She didn't want him taken down. She made a hard decision and turned around, firing on the tie fighter. Sharpshot didn't eject or hit his panic button, he was killed in the crash, but honey didn't know it yet.

Tails was really surprised honey came back to save him, but didn't question it. The 2 went through the space bridge, ending at Lucy 1. Tails had won the race.

"Thank you Honey" said Tails

Everyone congratulated him, he was kissed by his girlfriend. Tails even introduced honey to his friends, who she was glad to meet. When tails and his friends left, Rancis went up to her clutching his chest, still hurt.

"You could've won, why give it up?" He asked

"I already know I'm a great pilot. And he needed this more than I did. Tori needs a pickup on the ocean planet by the way. And tell the general thanks for the help. And tell lucy thanks for this bracelet she gave me. It made me forget all about my fear" said Honey

"That bracelet did nothing miss potts"

She turned to see grievous walking towards her with her bees in hand, who flew on her head

"What do you mean?" Honey asked

"Lucy never modified that, she told me herself. It's just a normal bracelet, did absolutely nothing. You, by yourself, got over your fear. She says you can keep it, thinks it'll look good on you" said Grievous as he turned away

"Well that's really sweet. Lucy sure is a clever girl. Where is she anyway? I want to thank her for helping with this" said Honey

"I'll take you to her, but be prepared for a surprise" said Rancis

He took her to Lucys bedroom, where Fudge smoreline, her friend, was sitting holding a baby in her arms.

"Is that-

"Yes, that's my daughter. That's Lucy" said Rancis

"She been eating those baby bottle candies from the candy world?" Honey asked

"No that's not this. Don't ask. She'll be fine" said Rancis

Suddenly Kit and twilight barged into the room.

"I got it. We got it" said Kit

"A spell to turn Lucy and Kevin back to their normal ages" said twilight

"Mama" Lucy cried, hugging fudge

"So cute, she thinks I'm her mother. But it's time for you to go back to normal Lucy" said Fudge

"Where's Kevin?" Kit asked

"With Vanellope in her room" said Fudge

"I'll go get her" said Rancis before leaving

Honey was still very confused at what was happening.

"Unicorn magic, very tricky" Fudge admitted

"Some unicorn turned them into babies hoping Lucy can't lead an attack on the rest of the empire. Nice try, but it's not gonna work" said Twilight

"ok. Well here's my daughters permission slip for Tuesday. But you and I will have a talk before then just you wait" Honey told her before leaving
