Disclaimer: I do not own Uma Musume or any of its characters.

Grass Wonder has never felt such…devastation. She has lost the race, going on 8th place. She worked her hardest, to be her best not only for her beloved Special Week and Silence Suzuka, but for herself as well. But…that went all down the drain when she lost.

**Flashback**

Grass saw the horse girls go ahead of her. Her stamina couldn't hold up any longer. She slowed down until she made it to the finish. 8th place. That's a very bad place to be. She looked up at the victor and dropped down to her knees. She shed tears and buried her face in her hands, sobbing softly.

**End of Flashback**

Right now, she's at the gates, ready to race again. But she's not entering the gate just yet. She looks up at the crowd, who are cheering for whoever horsey they are rooting for. She looks to her fellow horse girls, who are cheering for her. Spe-chan and Suzuka are at the sidelines, smiling and waving at her. Grass gives a nod and turns to the gate. She clenches her fist on her skirt, gritting her teeth.

"I will not lose again…!" she says to herself. "I cannot lose this time…!"

She has to win this one. For her beloveds….for herself. It would be embarrassing and devastating at the same time if she lost again. She gives a firm nod and walks toward the gate. Her determined expression never leaving her face. Spec-chan and Suzuka are routing for her. She cannot let them down.

"This is for you, Spe-chan…Suzuka-san…" Grass says to herself. "I love you…."

When the gun fires, the gates open and Grass takes off.
