Rusty: Hey Jack!
Jack: Oh what's up Rusty!
Rusty: Prepared for the Speed Day Competition?
Jack: I'm more than prepared, I'm ready!
Rusty: Dude, I hope you win, you are so fast...
Jack: You should see Chloe! She's unbelievably faster than me.
Rusty: Really? I did not know that...
Rusty: Anyways, do you want to come with me? I expected Mackenzie to be here but I couldn't see him.
Jack: Aight sure!
The two dogs entered the school gates into the field. And what they saw made their jaws drop.
The field looked absolutely sporty and almost had a reference to a running track inside a stadium.
Jack: Dude! This looks sick!
Rusty: I know right!
Just then, a dog ran past them. It was Mackenzie, the same dog Rusty expected outside the school grounds.
Rusty: Mackenzie!
However, there was no response.
But then...
Mackenzie: What's up bro!
Rusty: AAAAAH
Rusty: Oh my goodness... You got me there...
Mackenzie: Hehehe... I thought that would work.
Mackenzie: Anyways, what's up?
Rusty: I just wanna know... are you prepared for today?
Mackenzie: Of course I am! I'm gonna win this.
Jack: Uhm... You know that I'm faster than you right?
Mackenzie: Umm... I... I can try to be faster than you Jack.
Rusty: Dude, its literally a battle of the speediest in the school. You came second two years ago ; Jack won that year.
Jack: Also, Bingo literally beat you last year. And you were 6th.
Mackenzie: Okay okay... I may have lost those two... and maybe more... but I'll try to win this time.
Rusty: Alright then, I like to see you try. But winning will be hard for you.
*bell rings*
Calypso on speaker: Good morning everyone. I hereby announce the beginning of the Speed Day Competition!
All the dogs cheered as the event was about to begin. There were so many food stalls and even a tally board to see who will win. And if that certain dog won the race, the dogs that picked that person would win 50.
The racing track is shown to have four lanes although its for two contestants racing stretching the whole outline of the school. The race will have two laps and the first dog that wins, moves on to the quarter-finals, followed by the semi-finals and finals. The winner of the competition would receive a trophy and 200.
The dogs that are racing are: Bluey, Chloe, Indy, Coco, Honey, Rusty, Jack, Snickers, Lucky, Hercules, Judo, Pretzel, Bingo, Lila, Winton and Mackenzie.
Bluey: Everyone prepared?
Coco: Sure am!
Chloe: I'm all ready to race!
Calypso on speaker: Alright, the first two contestants come to the starting line, Indy and Rusty!
Rusty: Woo!!! Let's win this thing.
Indy: Remember, I'm not going so easy on you Rusty...
Rusty: Oh ho ho... I like the competition! Good luck Indy.
Indy: Good luck to you too.
Indy and Rusty stand at the starting line, ready for the whistle to blow.
All fourteen dogs stare at the two, seeing how fast they can go.
Calypso on speaker: Ready contestants? On your marks! Get set! Go!
*whistle blows*
Indy and Rusty go off without going back. Rusty went out of his mind going faster than the two years he participated in. Indy however, was not doing the best she could do but she was nowhere near slow.
Just as Rusty was about to begin his second lap, Indy sped up. The afghan hound later unleashed her inner speed, running faster than the red kelpie.
Coco and Honey were amazed at Indy's speed.
Coco: Come on Indy!!! You can do this!!!
And after the second lap, Indy won. She had moved on to a spot in the final 8.
Instead of feeling disappointed, Rusty applauded her outstanding performance, embracing her.
Rusty: That was so amazing.
Indy: Aw thanks! You were phenomenal too you know?
Rusty: Hehehe... don't make me flattered...
Rusty blushed for a bit before Indy sat with her closest friends.
Bingo: Wow, I've never seen Indy go so fast before.
Bluey: You must see Chloe. She is absolutely crazy.
Bingo: Wait really?
Bluey: Yup!
Bingo: Oh wow.
Calypso on speaker: Wonderful performance Indy! Next two contestant, Hercules and Bingo!
Bingo: Oh boy... its my turn.
Bluey: Good luck sis!!!
Bingo: Thank you!!
All contestants: You can do this Bingo!!!
Bingo was very nervous, but even though she was one of the youngest of all the contestants, she got the support of everyone, especially Bluey and Lila.
Bingo and Lila are practically inseparable as they often have sleepovers, hangouts and work together in projects.
Bingo: *breathes in and out* Okay Bingo, you can do this.
Calypso on speaker: Alright! Ready, steady, go!!!
Bingo went off without a doubt, she was insane. All the contestants and the crowd were cheering for the young red heeler as she took over the entire second half. Hercules though, also showed a good pace nearly having a near identical speed to Bingo.
But then, in the middle of the second lap, when it came to running in front of the school, Bingo did not come out, only Hercules did. Instead, she screamed in pain. She somehow got a twisted ankle after tripping on something.
Aside from the twisted ankle, her right leg was spreading out blood with her screaming in pain.
This caught Bluey's ear, immediately running towards her.
Thankfully, Bluey managed to get to her helpless sister to the emergency room to help Bingo with her injuries. Due to Bingo's injury, she couldn't run in the competition. With that, Hercules completed the second lap giving him a spot in the final.
Lila: Oh no... is she okay?
Honey: I think it was a big one... I'm sorry Lila.
Lila: I really want her to win this...
Honey: I know... Its okay.
Calypso on speaker: Okay! Jack and Coco, to the racing tracks please.
The competition progressed like nothing happened. Jack won the third round beating Coco, Lila won the fourth round beating Snickers and Lucky beating Judo in round 5.
Round 6 came, Chloe vs Honey.
Calypso on speaker: Get ready, get set, Go!
And according to Jack and Bluey, Chloe was indeed crazy. She obliterated Honey in those two laps beating her without a doubt. Round 7 came with Bluey beating Winton.
Then came round 8, Mackenzie vs Pretzel.
Jack: Good luck Mack!
Mackenzie: Thanks!
Pretzel: Good luck.
Mackenzie: Back to you too.
Calypso on speaker: Alrighty, ready, set, go!
Pretzel went off, going faster than what dogs thought of him. But Mackenzie was at a consistent pace. Eventually, Pretzel crossed the second lap, not knowing Mackenzie was right behind him. Nearing the end of the second lap, all hope was almost lost for Mackenzie. But then, Pretzel started to slow down. This made the border collie run faster than he had ran before, beating him gaining him the final spot in the quarter finals.
Jack: Nice try Pretzel!
Pretzel: Thanks!
Calypso on speaker: Good job everyone! Now our final 8: Indy, Hercules, Jack, Lila, Lucky, Chloe, Bluey and Mackenzie are qualified for the quarter-finals! The first race begins in 5 minutes.
Chloe: Wow, that was crazy.
Bluey: No you were insane.
Chloe: Hehe... thanks Bluey...
Bluey: Oh no worries.
Jack: Umm... hey Chloe...
Chloe: Oh hi Jack! Good job on the third round!
Jack: Thanks... uh...
Bluey: Everything okay?
Jack: Umm... yep! Totally fine!
Chloe: Alright then, but what happened to Bingo?
Bluey: I have no idea... I hope she's okay...
Jack: Yeah, me too...
Lucky: Hello!
Jack: Hey Lucky!
Lucky: How did I do?
Jack: I have to admit, you did not do as good as Chloe but you did amazing.
Lucky: Why Chloe?
Jack: She was crazily fast.
Lucky: Are you just complimenting her, or you secretly like her.
Jack: W-what?! I-I don't like her like that! I'm just friends with her!
Lucky: Hehe...
The four dogs kept chatting about the race and what will likely happen for five minutes until the speaker came on.
Calypso on speaker: Alright! The quarter finals are in! First round, Chloe vs Mackenzie!
Mackenzie: Whoa... No way...
Lila: You can do this Mackenzie!
Mackenzie: Thanks Lila.
Mackenzie and Chloe made their way onto the track ready for the whistle to blow.
Calypso on speaker: Ready, set, go!!!
*whistle blows*
The two dogs showed extreme speed. Chloe was moving more rapidly than the previous round, but Mackenzie tried to keep his fast pace for the whole two laps. Chloe eventually passed the second lap but Mackenzie was right next to her, literally.
But going too fast will only be challenging near the end. Chloe started to slow down for a bit because of the speed she gave out in the first lap.
That made Mackenzie speed up a bit more. His speed was consistent but fast for the two races he'd won. But he would unleash his speedy side near the end of the second lap.
And knowing that Chloe started to have a moderately fast pace from a crazily fast one, he knew what he had to do. With this, he sped up a little bit, making him go past Chloe, beating her by a second.
Everyone's jaw dropped. Chloe's performance was so insane, that they all thought that no one beat her. But the border collie did.
Chloe: Oh my goodness...
Chloe: You went lights out!
Mackenzie: Hehe... thanks Chloe! You did good too!
Chloe: Thank you!
Mackenzie: Its all good!
Calypso on speaker: Next two contestants, Indy vs Jack!
Indy: Alright! Let's do this!
*whistle blows*
Indy gave out one heck of a performance, pelting across the track, completely beating Jack in the first lap and in the end. By such an amazing effort, Indy moved on to the semi-finals.
Following up for round 3 was Lila vs Hercules. Lila did her best on beating Hercules before suddenly being injured on her left leg with a near identical incident to Bingo's one. Except it was near the end of the second lap with Lila tripping over something on the ground. Hercules won that round with a spot in the semi-finals.
And finally in round 4, Lucky and Bluey were facing off. Lucky gave off some good speed but he wasn't quick enough to beat Bluey ; making her the final dog to make it to the semi-finals.
So the dogs moving to the semi-finals were Indy, Hercules, Mackenzie and Bluey.
Indy: Bluey! That was so good!
Bluey: Hehe, thanks Indy!
Indy: But you should've seen Mackenzie! He went off!
Mackenzie: Hey! Thanks!
Hercules: Look who made it to the semi-finals.
Mackenzie: Oh. You. What are you doing here?
Hercules: Preparing for the semi-finals, puny sheepdog.
Mackenzie: Shut up. I noticed something fishy going on with your races.
Hercules: Like what, idiot?
Mackenzie: Bingo and Lila faced you off in the rounds, and they got injured.
Hercules: Well maybe it was just a coincidence.
Mackenzie: Then why did Bingo not appear near the end of the second lap.
Hercules: Her fault.
Mackenzie: She did her best!
Hercules: She got injured. And I let her be.
Mackenzie: You didn't do that to Lila rig--
Hercules: Shut your f&@! mouth.
Mackenzie: Hey! Watch your language!
Hercules: F&@ off.
Bluey: Hey! Leave him alone!
Hercules: Fine. I'll see you later b/&@.
Hercules left the bench to get some air.
Bluey: Mack? You alright?
Mackenzie: Yeah... good job btw.
Bluey: Thanks...
Bluey: But I think there was something fishy going on with Hercules...
Mackenzie: I know...
Calypso on speaker: Racers! The race will begin now! Indy, Hercules, get ready to race for the finals!
Indy: Oh boy... I hope I win this...
Bluey: Good luck Indy...
Mackenzie: Good luck...
Indy: Thanks you two! I really appreciate it.
The two dogs came on the track, ready for the whistle to blow.
*whistle blows*
Indy and Hercules went off, but Indy was far from losing to the Saint Bernard. Although that, Hercules still showed good speed. But something peculiar happened out of nowhere. Strangely, Indy got injured on her right leg in the second lap, right at the beginning, while running next to Hercules.
And it was a rather similar occurrence compared to Bingo and Lila's injury. However, Indy was different. She continued to run fast beating Hercules. But then, when the two were next to each other again, Indy fell again. This time, it was on her face. She went face down to the ground making her forehead bleed rapidly.
Everyone was shocked and horrified. Indy had a second injury in the span of 15 seconds. And without a doubt, Rusty, Jack and Chloe ran towards the afghan hound, carrying her to the emergency room.
Mackenzie: Umm... what was that???
Bluey: I don't know...
Hercules: Hello peasants.
Mackenzie: What did you do?
Hercules: I don't want to talk about her falling down.
Bluey: Why?
Hercules: Shut your mouth. You two are facing off now.
Mackenzie: We know. Stop being a dunce.
Hercules: What did you say idiot?
Mackenzie: A dunce.
Calypso on speaker: The final two contestants, Bluey and Mackenzie, make your way to the track.
Mackenzie: Oh look. My turn.
Bluey: Let's do this.
Hercules: Good luck, failure.
Bluey: You ready bud?
Mackenzie: Whenever you are.
*whistle blows*
Bluey and Mackenzie put on a wonderful effort on the tracks. Bluey was ahead from Mackenzie in the first lap. Then in the second lap, Mackenzie took over speeding up at the middle. But then, something happened.
Bluey: Alright! I'm almost there--
Bluey: Aagh!
*trips over a rock*
Bluey: Ow!!! Agh!!! It hurts!!!
Bluey tripped on a rock and had a graze on her two knees with them bleeding.
Mackenzie was almost at the end when he heard Bluey screaming. Now, he had a choice on winning or helping. He knew that he wanted to win but he couldn't bare to see his good friend injured and helpless. So, Mackenzie ran towards Bluey, helping her out.
He gave out his hand to pick up Bluey. She grabbed onto it and put her left shoulder on his right one.
Rusty and Jack were so surprised on Mackenzie's kind act on Bluey that they applauded him for being so helpful. But, Mackenzie decided to win the semi-finals anyway because Bluey was unable to race. And even if she wanted to, she'd still have a hard time on winning.
In the end, Mackenzie moved on to the finals.
Bluey: Thanks Mackenzie...
*hugs him*
*he blushes*'
Mackenzie: Uh... thanks...
Jack: Dude! That was amazing.
Rusty: You literally helped her, that's just kind!
Mackenzie: Thanks...
Calypso on speaker: Congratulations Mackenzie on winning the semi-finals. Now its time for the finals, Hercules vs Mackenzie. Dogs, to your tracks. Get prepared for four laps!
Mackenzie was shocked.
Mackenzie: Four laps?!?!
Indy: You can do this!!!
Bingo, Lila, Lucky: Come on!!! You can win this!
Chloe, Coco, Honey, Snickers, Judo, Pretzel, Winton: Good luck Mackenzie!!!
Bluey, Rusty, Jack: Win it for us!!
Mackenzie felt supported. He'd never felt this happy before.
Mackenzie: Thanks. Y'all the best.
Hercules: Hah. I like to see you try to beat me.
Mackenzie: Try to. I'm pretty fast.
Calypso on speaker: Alright! Get ready! Get set!
3!
2!
1!
Go!!!!
*whistle blows*
Mackenzie took off like a plane. He wanted to win this, for himself and his friends. He became more confident with the support of his friends. The border collie was in front of the saint bernard by a long shot by the second lap.
But Hercules refused to back down from someone smaller than him. At that time, after Hercules finished his first lap, Mackenzie was already finishing his second.
Bluey: Come on Mackenzie!!! You can do this!!!
Jack: You can win this!!!
But then something absolutely wrong occured. Mackenzie finished his second lap when Hercules was still in the middle of his second one. Then, Hercules did something that would definitely be unforgiving.
Mackenzie was still running fast in the middle of his third lap. Suddenly, Hercules saw him when he crossed the second lap. Knowing that Mackenzie will win the competition, he had to do something. So, he took out his arm, and made Mackenzie fall down to the track.
Mackenzie got a twisted ankle and even a graze on his right leg and left knee.
Hercules: That's what you get, walking runner-up loser.
Hercules sped off leaving Mackenzie injured.
Mackenzie: Agh!!!! Ahhh it hurts!!!!
Bluey: Come on Mackenzie!!! You can do this!!!
Jack: Get up! This isn't over!!!
Chloe: You can beat him!!! Trust me!!!
Mackenzie looked down in failure. But, with his friends on his side the whole way, he came back up after a minute.
And boy it was perfect timing.
At that time, Hercules was beginning his fourth lap. Mackenzie only had one thing to do, win the race.
He came back on his feet and ran as fast as he can. Mackenzie was trying his best to fight the pain, but it wasn't enough.
He went as fast as he can in the race. Despite that, it wasn't fast enough to beat Hercules.
The pain was too bad for anyone, let alone a dog running.
With this, Hercules won the race and Mackenzie lost.
Bluey: *gasp* No... he lost...
Rusty: Oh no...
Hercules: Hah!! I won!! You lost!!
Mackenzie could not believe it. He wasted his two years on racing. But his injuries took over and affected the defeated border collie.
Mackenzie: No... It can't be... I lost again...
Bluey: I feel so bad... I can't believe it.
Indy: Wait, remember you said that something was fishy earlier?
Bluey: Yes...?
Bluey: Wait...
Bluey: We have to tell Calypso!!!
Three hours later, Mackenzie sat on the field as the competition was over. He was devastated that he lost the event, even after he was treated for his injuries.
Then, Rusty came over towards him.
Rusty: Hey Mackenzie.
Mackenzie: Hey Rusty...
Rusty: I'm so sorry... I know that you wanted this victory for so long.
Mackenzie: Its fine... I deserved the loss anyway.
Rusty: Why?
Mackenzie: You and Jack thought I would lose.
Rusty: That is not true. We just told you that winning will not be easy.
Mackenzie: But what's the use? I lost...
Rusty: You came 2nd, I am 16th, so you don't have to feel bad.
On the other end of the field, Bluey and her friends went towards the two dogs.
Bluey: Rusty! Mackenzie!
Rusty: Bluey? What's up?
Bluey: I have good news!
Rusty: What? What is it?
Bluey: Mackenzie won!
Mackenzie: What?!
Rusty: Wait how?
Bluey: Well, it is quite a long one. After Hercules won the competition, me and Chloe had our suspicions. Indy, Bingo and Lila told me clearly why they were injured while racing. It was because of Hercules.
Rusty: Oh mg goodness...
Coco: You know the same way that Mackenzie got injured? It was because of Hercules' arms. He used it on the same track that Mackenzie was in while he was running. That was same thing he did to my sister and my friends!
Mackenzie: Wait, then how does this relate to Hercules losing?
Indy: We told Calypso everything. And she got furious. He was stripped from his title being the winner of the event.
Mackenzie: No way... I won???
Bluey: You did it!!! You won!!!
Rusty: Let's go!!!
Mackenzie: No way... I did it!!!
Bluey: Wait, I have something to give you.
Mackenzie: What's that?
Bluey: Your trophy!
Mackenzie: Oh!
After a crazy turn of events, Mackenzie's biggest achievement came true. Even after he got injured, he couldn't stand the victory that he had suddenly won.
With Hercules however, he was arguing and begged for a rematch. But Calypso denied the request, banning him from competing ever again in the race.
Bingo, Lila and Indy managed to recover quickly by their injuries with bandages and ice packs.
But Mackenzie did something after he got his trophy.
Mackenzie: But, this trophy is not for me.
Lucky: Wh-what?! But you won the event, technically.
Mackenzie: True. But I have to give this to...
*gives trophy to Bluey*
Bluey: M-me?
Mackenzie: Yep... you supported me the most.
Bluey: But, why?
Mackenzie: You also dreamt on winning it before, so I gave it to you. I also felt bad for you when you fell down onto the track.
Bluey: Aww... thanks Mackenzie...
Mackenzie: Happy to make a friend feel like a winner.
Bluey: Come here, give me a hug!
*hugs Mackenzie*
Mackenzie: Umm... uh... hehe...
The whole celebrated Bluey's victory with a pizza party. However, Bluey and Mackenzie's friendship started to improve more and more. To the point that...
... Mackenzie started to have feelings for Bluey.
