Scene 20: The Race
SF=Spitfire
HV=Havik
DR=Derpy
It was finally time for the Race portion of the show.
RD-"Okay Arizona, this is what we've been training for. We have a race to win."
Spitfire suddenly appeared beside them with her pet hawk, Havik.
SF-"Hey... I remember you... Rainbow Dash, right? You're the one who saved my life at the Best Young Flier competition? And the one that caused the riot at the Grand Galloping Gala?"
RD-"Oh my gosh! Spitfire! I didn't expect you to be here! Oh, and... Uh... *Blush*... Yeah... that was me."
SF-"Well that was AWESOME! The Gala is usually dull every year. The last one was one of the best ever, though. So much excitement!"
RD-"Princess Celestia said the same thing. And I couldn't have done it without my friends."
SF-"So you're entering the race with this beauty here, eh? Well it looks like we have some competition, Havik!"
AN-"Okay, the three competitors are at the starting line! We have Spitfire and her hawk Havik, Rainbow Dash and her phoenix, Arizona, and Derpy Hooves and her... Plush... tTurtle... Reginald."
RD-"Um, Derpy, you realize that your turtle there isn't actually, you know, alive."
DR-"That doesn't mean I can't enter him."
RD-"But it doesn't make any sense!"
DR-"Not everything I do or say has to make oatmeal muffins."
RD-"Okay then... The race is about to start... So I'll just be getting back to Arizona now."
The three pets stood at the starting line in a ready stance (except for Reginald, of course, who just laid there). Soarin raised a checkered flag and waved it. The two winged pets zoomed past.
The two were neck and neck. One surpassed the other, and would then be surpassed in turn. They dodged pillars, barricades, trees and barrels. The flew through trenches, hoops and arches. They approached the finish line.
The two flew towards the checkered line and zoomed past it. A camera flashed.
AN-"Our professionals are analyzing the picture to see who won. Hold on, I'm getting something... Fillies and Gentlecolts, I present to you our winners- Rainbow Dash and her phoenix, Arizona!"
The crowd went into a storm of cheers and hollering. Rainbow walked towards the stage with the rest of the winners, but was interrupted by Spitfire.
SF-"Hey there. That was amazing flying by Arizona. Did you teach her yourself?"
RD-"Well, she already knew a lot beforehand, but I did teach her some tricks."
SF-"Well, the Wonderbolts are having auditions in a few weeks. We'd like to see you and Arizona there!"
RD-"REALLY? THAT'S AWESOME! I CAN'T WAIT!"
With that, Spitfire bid them a farewell. Rainbow Dash continued onto the stage.
AN-"Here you have it folks, your winners! In the Vocals portion we have Fluttershy and her bird choir! In the Instrumental portion we have Twilight Sparkle and her baby dragon, Spike! In the Fashion portion we have Rarity and her feline friend, Opalescence! In the Obedience portion we have Applejack and her dog, Winona! In the Dancing portion we have Pinkie Pie and her gator, Gummy! And last but not least, in the Race portion, we have Rainbow Dash and her phoenix, Arizona!"
