To Love A Six

Chapter Three: Dash of Love

Waking up the next morning in the barn with Applejack you started to ponder on how to break to her that apart from her you love Fluttershy, too, and that she returns your feelings, Leaving the problem to your future self you told Applejack good-bye, and that you were going to hang out with Rainbow Dash for the day (only to sort things out in your head) in Everfree Forest which she rejected at first but Big Mac talked her into letting you go. You then gave her a kiss good-bye on the cheek and took off.

On your way to Everfree Forest you thought about Rainbow Dash and how she is always loyal to you and willing to help you go that extra mile in accomplishing anything. You remembered telling her so much about your world and how humans fly using jets and planes that you ended up having her curious on how humans constructed such objects, wanting to learn more about humans’ ability to fly using machinery.

Upon arriving in Everfree Forest with the sun now coming up into the sky Rainbow Dash flew from above your head at rapid speed landing in front of you releasing a bright rainbow in the air. You stood baffled at her ability to do that new acrobatic technique but shortly afterwards she started to challenge you to a race which you didn't refuse because it could help you get your mind off of Applejack and Fluttershy, but you didn’t have long to stay stunned since she challenged you to a race

* * *

"Come on let's race again."

Rainbow Dash said to you as you sat down underneath a big oak tree outside of Everfree Forest tired from trying to beat Rainbow Dash in a complete race around the forest. Sweat poured down your face as you gasped for air tired that you knew you couldn't beat Rainbow Dash.

"Maybe that's enough racing."

You said to her as she was flying above your head looking down at you with her beautiful maroon eyes. Rainbow Dash was also breaking down sweat not from racing but from the hot evening sun that shimmered down on you two from the sky. You soon stood up off the grass and threw up your hand to show Rainbow Dash that you surrendered but you felt a hooves press it down back to your sides almost instantly. Rainbow Dash stood in front of you with a stern expression that made you flinch and stand at attention out of fear.

"What if I offer you an incentive for racing me and winning?"

She said in a sweet tone to you as she flew backwards into the air. You paused for a second to think about what the incentive and the down side of losing the race might be.

"And if I lose?"

You ask her questioningly while she was still flying backwards. She raised her right hoof to her face and thought about what I would do if she won.

"You become my slave."

She responded. You then just stood and dropped your jaw at the thought of being a slave to Rainbow Dash. Then again it would be voluntary, and all Rainbow would do was make you say and do dumb harmless things as a joke. You stood still for a second not replying to Rainbow Dash, then nodded your head in agreement to her deal.

"We’re gonna do a race from here to Everfree Ruins."

Rainbow Dash said proudly as she started to fly high above your head.

"Alright."

You replied curious about what this incentive of winning could be; if the price of losing were to be her slave, maybe it would be vice-versa and if you won you could probably make her do humiliating stuff like she probably would have done to you. Then without warning you started dashing to get a head start of Rainbow Dash. As you ran, you didn't hear any kind of flapping of wings or see a rainbow in the sky over Everfree forest which gave you the feeling of winning.

After a few minutes of the running you started to think Rainbow Dash was letting you win as you passed several more tall oak trees and bushes in the forest till you heard something fly out from behind you at a rapid speed. You caught a glimpse of the thing that flew past you and saw a rainbow streak; you realized it was Rainbow Dash, and she was flying past you to beat you to the ruins. With no other choice you sped up running even faster, passing by Zecora who was trotting randomly in Everfree Forest as well, probably heading to her hut.

"What? Be careful you!"

You hear Zecora yell at you as you continued to run past her and deeper into Everfree Forest. You then wanted to stop and go back to apologize, but if you did Rainbow Dash would have gained a upper hand in the race so instead you kept running. After finally tiring out from running and just walking, you reach the Everfree Ruins. Destroyed marble columns and tile floors surrounded the area around you. You kept looking into the ever blue sky with bright yellow sun in the air to see Rainbow Dash who you knew beat you to the ruins, but she wasn't around.

Then with a loud smack something hit into your back sending you flying forward onto the destroyed marble floor below with a loud thud. You turn quickly to see Rainbow Dash rubbing her head with her hoof and you knew what was coming next from her mouth.

"What took you so long? I was just practicing my aerial acrobatics while waiting on you."

She said happily while looking at you with her maroon eyes. You groaned knowing you lost the bet against Rainbow Dash who stood up on her hooves and looked at you with a grin.

"And since you lost the race against me you are my slave till I dismiss you, and will do whatever I say."

Rainbow Dash said with excitement in her voice as you watched the sun begin to set. You simply nod your head; you knew Rainbow Dash would make you do silly tasks throughout Equestria and prove your loyalty to your bet.

"Okay."

You replied to her making no big deal of being her slave just for kick, as the afternoon sun poured down on you two in the ruins.

"As my first decree as your new mistress, I demand that you will compliment me."

Rainbow Dash said in a smug voice to you as you stood across from her as she sat on the ground. At first you wanted to laugh but the seriousness in her expression while waiting for you to say something was real. You then opened your mouth to let out compliments about Rainbow Dash as the fastest pegasus in all of Equestria.

"Are those really all your compliments?"

She said to you in a questioning way and put on a saddened expression. You took a second to try and think of something she would like to hear other than her speed as a pegasus, and then the idea about you talking to her about being the fastest and best Wonderbolt crossed your mind so you started to compliment her on that. But to your surprise this didn’t lift her spirit, on the contrary she looked even more dejected.

You then walked to her, dropped to your knees and pressed your right hand on her shoulder as she kept avoiding eye contact with you. As much as you found the idea of being a slave until she dismissed you really stupid you opened your mouth to say to the depressed Rainbow Dash

"Is there something wrong, mistress? I am always here to do anything you ask."

The same grin you saw earlier near the outskirts of Everfree Forest at the oak tree spread across Rainbow Dash’s face and she glanced at you with her maroon eyes.

"There is something wrong, slave. You haven't worshipped your mistress properly enough and she demands a kiss."

Rainbow Dash said to you in a tone that wasn't that innocent. You paused with your mouth open having no way to respond to that.

"You're kidding, right?"

You asked her in disbelieve. But she simply shaked her head no. You thought about it for a while; to kiss a close friend even after she won a bet against you would seem loyal, but the only reason you took this bet and came to the Everfree in the first place was to take your mind of Applejack and Fluttershy. You then came to the decision to go ahead and get this over with. You raised your other hand placed it on Rainbow Dash's shoulder. As you leaned in, she closed her eyes and you kissed her right underneath her rainbow-colored mane on the forehead. Then you withdrew.

"Done as you wished mistress."

You said to her in joy as she still had her eyes closed waiting for a different type of kiss. She opened her eyes looked at you confused.

"I want another kiss, and not on the forehead this time."

Rainbow Dash said in a semi-calm tone. You paused when looking at her and she closed her eye's again.

"Uh....sure."

You reply in a non-confident tone trying to figure out where Rainbow Dash was going with this kissing stuff. Sighing you once more raised hands, placed them on Rainbow Dash's shoulders and leaned in kissing her on the cheek. You backed away with a bit of awkwardness floating in your mind about the situation. Rainbow Dash didn't have her eyes closed for as long as before and she opened them with annoyance in them. You started to scoot away from her and not knowing what she might do.

"That's enough slave! I want a real kiss! And as your mistress I want it on the lips!"

She yells at you this time in a tone that rang through your ears. You looked at Rainbow Dash with a confused look as she was taking this too far. You wanted to say something to her about this, but you were left speechless looking at her as she sat in front of you with her rainbow-colored mane dropping down over her face blocking the sunlight off her. Rainbow Dash then closed her eyes and waiting for the kiss. You hesitated at first licking your lips and letting out a sigh at her request.

"Alright, mistress, just one kiss on the lips."

You said tiredly following the order Rainbow Dash gave you. She closed her eyes even tighter and held out her lips. You leaned in like before placing your hands on her shoulders. As you got closer to Rainbow Dash for this kiss you could feel your heart racing and the sun pouring down its heat even harder on you. Quickly without warning Rainbow Dash leaped forward on you smacking her lips on yours and sending you backwards to the destroyed tiled marble below you. Rainbow Dash then tried to forcefully push her tongue through your mouth but it just kept smacking against your lips.

You then forcefully put your hand on Rainbow Dash's shoulders and wanted to push her away as her soft tongue actually went through your closed mouth and touched yours. You just gave and laid back smacking your tongue with Rainbow Dash's wet on swapping saliva as the sun shined brightly on you two. It felt extremely wrong for some reason as Rainbow Dash and you continued to kiss relentlessly feeling your bodies rub against each other.

Rainbow Dash then pulled away from kissing you with her cyan blue face blushing red. You tried to continue kissing her but she kept pulling her head away from you so you started to kiss her on her neck instead and she let out several loud breaths of relief. The heat was getting to you and it wasn't the heat of the rain, it was the heat coming from yours and Rainbow Dash’s body. You couldn't help yourself anymore as Rainbow Dash was rubbing herself up and down against you while you were kissing her neck.

"It was just a stupid race and just one kiss request, and now I am doing this another one my friends."

You thought to yourself as Rainbow Dash gripped her hooves over your shoulders. You continued to kiss her cyan colored neck and she started pressing her coat up against your chest. Slowly you start to move your hands grabbing onto Rainbow Dash's tight butt and she let out a squeal of excitement as you did so. Her breathing increased as you continued to move further down to her plot passing her rainbow cutie mark and continued kissing her neck passionately.

"Slave. Your mistress hates to say it. But you actually beat me here in the race, I ran into you from behind because

I got knocked out after running into a tree. So when I woke back up a few minutes later I flew up high and saw you standing in the ruins. I ran into you and claimed I won."

Rainbow Dash said breathing hard into your ear and rubbing herself up and down your body. You stopped kissing her neck and looked at her and for a second you wanted to say something to her asking why, but something about the look in her eyes stopped you.

"It's alright. This will be my incentive instead."

You said mockingly to her without a second thought of what her reaction might be.

"Just be gentle okay."

She whined to you with a sweet voice. You then relocked lips with her, your tongues touching each other and moved your hands further down her plot, till you reached her tail which you started to stroke lovingly. She tightened up as you continue to stroke but, relaxed the more you stroked it. Rainbow Dash and you then stopped to continue locking tongues with each other and she looked at you with complete love in her eyes.

"Tell me about planes in your world again please."

She said to you letting out several low moans. Stupidly you looked at her with confusion and stopping stroking her tail.

"What?"

You said to her in a loud tone within the ruins of Everfree Forest wondering what the hell is up with that. Rainbow Dash then quickly leaned forward on you as you had yourself propped up while grabbing onto her ass.

"Tell me how fast they go."

She said whispering into your ear. You then come to the sudden realization that Rainbow Dash was getting turned on by you talking about the jets and planes of your world and how fast they could fly. You started to move your hand from where you began stroking Rainbow Dash's plot toward her vagina, which you could feel was wet.

"Well the SR-71 Blackbird can fly three times the speed of sound, and because of this it is nearly undetectable and during all of its launches it never got shot out of the sky."

Rainbow Dash started to moan as your fingers started to prod at her vagina and you explained to her details of the decommissioned air craft. Unlike all the other moans before this one she let out reminded you of Fluttershy's and Applejack's from the last two days and how you betrayed both of them.

Then reality came back to you as you realized that what you were doing with Rainbow Dash was absolutely wrong because you  wasn't cheating on just two of your closest friends you're in love with, but now three. You wanted to stop, but you came so far already and knew this was a point of no return and after this you will tell all three of them how you feel and apologize, starting with Fluttershy. You stopped and moved your wet fingers away from her vagina and looked at her with guilt in your heart as her entire cyan colored face was blushing red.

"Why did you stop?"

Rainbow Dash asked you leaning forward underneath your chin. You didn't respond as she raised her wings out and wrapped them over you blocking out the sun and pushing her closer. Your heart started to skip several beats as Rainbow Dash pushed herself closer to your chest and heart.

"I guess you want to do it now?"

She asked you in the shade of her wings. There was no reason not to do it now as she and you were alone in Everfree Ruins and you already started foreplay. Taking a gulp you simply nodded your head as you felt Rainbow Dash lift her head off your chest and pull herself close to your lips. You lifted your right hand up under her cyan wing and started to unzip your jeans while smacking lips with her. She had a good grip around your upper body using her wings and hooves.

Removing your jeans and boxers half down your pelvis area, your erected penis that had been cooped up in your pants popped up like a hurricane rubbing against Rainbow Dash's vagina. Rainbow Dash and you stopped kissing as she lowered her wings down letting the sun from the sky come back to you and her and she looked behind her nervously looking at your penis.

She opened her mouth to say something but closed it as she looked at you with a shy expression. You took your hands and grabbed her hooves around your neck with your heart still skipping beat and slowly leaned forward onto Rainbow Dash till she was lying in missionary on the destroyed marble tiled floor below. She was breathing rapidly as she was looking at you with her maroon eyes, blushing red all over her cyan colored face.

"Well, can we get started?"

You asked her as she blushed continuously on the marble and stretched out her wings. She simply nodded which was a go ahead sign for you. Slowly you leaned forward on to Rainbow Dash being close to her face and moved the tip of your penis towards her vagina.You looked at Rainbow Dash as you started to penetrate her and you saw that she closed her eyes and averted her face away from you for a while with a pleasured look on her face as you were now completely inside her.

Rainbow Dash squirmed left and right out of pleasure as the more move trying reach your hands out to grab her by her hips so you could have a good grip on her so you could begin thrusting. She was dripping with sweat all over her coat already just from moving about and you inside her. She opened her maroon eyes and looked at you breathing heavily and letting out soft moans near your ears.

"I’m going to start thrusting, okay?"

You say to her passionately holding onto her hips; she simply responded by shaking her head yes. As you started to thrust and feel the warmth from Rainbow Dash came onto you and Rainbow Dash put on a goofy expression Fluttershy put on two days ago, you let out a chuckle as she continued to moan.

"Wha-t's s-s-so funny?"

She said to you stopping to let out a few huffs of pleasure for a few seconds when saying it to you as you continued to thrust.

"N-nothing."

You said to her with a smirk on your face on how Rainbow Dash reminded you a bit of Fluttershy. As you sped up your thrusts Rainbow Dash started to lift up from the marble tilled floor and re-wrapped her cyan colored hooves around your neck begging you to go even faster and deeper. You smiled at the request she gave and did as she said pouring down sweat from the sun above and the constant thrusting inside of Rainbow Dash.

This went on for what felt like hours. Rainbow Dash holding her hooves around your neck kept getting tighter, moaning and begging you to go faster. You knew you were reaching your limit with Rainbow Dash who was holding onto you passionately now as you continued to thrust inside her, and when she was starting to raise her wings to grip around your body you knew that both of you were going to climax soon.

"It's so hot!"

She exclaimed now wrapping her hind legs completely around your waist and using her wings to push you further into her as both of you climaxed and your sperm poured into her. You both let out a sigh of relief as you two finished and exclaimed you loved each other. Then you removed your penis from her vagina. You looked up at Rainbow Dash to see her asleep peacefully on the destroyed marble tile floor of Everfree Ruins as the sun shined on her.

"What's up with these ponies falling asleep before I do?"

You asked yourself. You were drenched in sweat as this was the third pony friend of yours that you've fallen in love with and had sex with in the span of three days. You then remembered you got to explain to Fluttershy where you've been all day yesterday, and what happened with Applejack and Rainbow Dash as you couldn't keep ignoring her forever when you get back to the cottage.

You then rolled over to your back under the hot sun and clear blue sky in Everfree Ruins next to Rainbow Dash who was asleep wondering how it's going to affect your friendship with Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash and if you should just wake up Rainbow Dash and tell her now.

You decided that you would tell Fluttershy first (As she deserves it) tonight when you get back to the cottage, then Applejack and finally Rainbow Dash afterwards. You then put both of your hands behind your head and closed your eyes with a trend of nervousness, sadness, and regret in your heart at what you were going to do.

"Should never done it."

You thought to yourself one last time as you felt the tiredness from having intercourse with Rainbow Dash overcome you.

* * *

Being woken up by Rainbow Dash a few hours later you two simply smiled with happiness even though you had heart-break coming to you later in the day. Saying good-bye and exchanging a kiss the both of you went your separate ways going from Everfree Ruins to your respected homes.

Arriving at Fluttershy’s cottage at night with the crescent moon high in the sky you found something off, way off as the flowers that where in front of the cottage were floating upside down ignoring gravity all together. You took a second to look at them.

Backing away from the flowers you walked up to the wooden door of Fluttershy’s cottage and opened it up feeling something was waiting for you on the other side. The inside of her cottage was cold and completely black, so you couldn't see anything.

"Hello, human."

An echo with British accent said. You paused and started to feel your heart skip beats out of fear of what was going on.

"Don't be afraid, I'm no danger to you..Well, not anymore."

The British voice said as it echoed inside the completely black cottage with you staring at nothing but darkness. Then out of the darkness you could see the red eyes of a tall creature sitting down in what you assumed to be the main area of Fluttershy's cottage where the green couch was. Quickly you turned around out of fear of what was going on to try and reopen the door to the cottage but the door had disappeared in the darkness and you felt nothing but air.

Then without a warning you felt a large eagle claw and lion paw push down onto your shoulders with an amazing force that sent you down a bit and the coat of creature press against your back. It sent chills of fear up your spine as whatever the British creature was then started to do what felt like a massage on your shoulders using it's sharp hands

"I said hello, human."

The British speaking creature said high above your head. Shaking in fear you put your hands to your sides and said in a scared voice

"Hello Mr. .LionBirdGodCreature."

The creature then stopped the massage of your shoulders and let out a slight chuckle at what you said.

"You're a funny human you know that. And catching a whiff of the trouble you're able to make I can tell I am going to like you."

The British speaking creature said leaning down to your ears and made a loud whiff noises as it smelled you.

"Hm...Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. You got a strong scent of mischief with them on you. Care to explain?"

The British speaking creature said somehow in both your ears mockingly. You stiffened into a board plank with both his claw and bear paw on your shoulder. You could guess right away whoever this thing was knew that you had sex with all three, and if he was here, he probably told Fluttershy before you did. You took a gulp to open your mouth and say something but you were interrupted by the voice of sleepy Fluttershy.

"Discord, are you still here?"

She asked questioningly as you could hear her comes from upstairs in her cottage.

"So this is the Discord she has been talking about for two years. Oh god, he's a creep."

You thought to yourself as you realized what was behind you. And you thought Fluttershy was making up stories about him to entertain you. Suddenly you felt Discord’s bird claw and lion paw come off your shoulder and a flash of light hit the cottage interior blinding you for a second. With your sights returning you could see the brown door that had disappeared in the darkness caused by Discord to return in front of you. It really didn't matter if you could see Discord or not now as you were in fear of what he was able to do.

"I was just having a good chat with one of my new best friends about how amazing disharmony is."

He replied to Fluttershy happily as you continued to look at the brown door and heard more of Fluttershy hoofsteps come down her staircase.

"Oh-okay. But don't you think it's kind of late for that?"

She then asked him. You felt Discord raise his lion paw back onto your shoulder.

"You're right and I think I should take my leave. Have a good night, Fluttershy, my dear."

He replied and a poof sounded from behind you; a cloud of dust surrounded you blowing upwards all the way into your face. Then without a warning the red eyes of Discord appeared in front of you in the smoke.

"I wonder how you're going to fix this."

He said with his British accent mockingly and then finally disappearing. You stood paused and up straight even after having him supposedly leave, afraid that he may reappear at any given time. Finally relaxing and realizing he was gone you let out a sigh and came back to the focus on what you came to do. Doing an about-face you saw Fluttershy standing in front of you wearing a pink night-gown that matched her long pink mane framing her face. You stood speechless looking at her as she was looking down at the brown wooden floor below.

"Do you like it?"

Fluttershy said asking you excitedly and with a smile on her face. You stood amazed at her and beautifully crafted night-gown. You stopped and forgot all about telling her what you did with Rainbow Dash and Applejack as you continued to look at her in the pink night-gown.

"So ugh,  you got that dress for me?"

You asked her nervously. She simply nodded her head and tapping her front left hoof on the wooden floor twice.

"I was um.. well hoping to try it on with you, but I haven't seen you since a day ago when you left to go to

Applejack’s and never came back."

She said in a low tone that you almost couldn't hear. She blushed then looked back down at the floor as you also forgot to tell her where you'd been.

"I'm extremely sorry about that Fluttershy. Applejack wanted me to meet her entire family and I spent the night at her farm. And today I spent most of my time racing Rainbow Dash, you see."

You say to her in an apologetic tone hoping to have her forgiveness. You then walked over to Fluttershy and picked her up smiling and startling her a bit.

"But if you still want to try it on…"

You say to her laughingly as you went up the stairs of Fluttershy's cottage and to your bedroom.

"Wha-you mean now? I mean I wasn't even done yet as I forgot to tell you that Rarity invited us and all of our friends to a fashion competition she entered."

She said at rapid pace blushing like a wildfire as you reached the top of the stairs at last and arrived at the wooden door to your room. Bending now to reach for the door knob Fluttershy started to reach her light yellow hooves around your neck to make sure you didn't drop her.

Opening the door and turning on the light you were greeted by the same pink bed you got up from a day ago and the same wooden planked floor in the empty bedroom. Slowly you started to approach the bed and laid Fluttershy down on it. She was looking at you with a calm expression and a smile on her face as you removed your jeans and threw them to the bedroom floor.

You smiled at her while she looked at you as you climbed on top of the bed and over her. Fluttershy’s blushing red face made your heartbeat begin to accelerate rapidly as you were about to make love to one of your loves. You leaned in onto Fluttershy and started running your right hand from the side of her night-gown to her lovely warm face.

"Something wrong?"

You asked her teasingly, but she responded by shaking her head no. Smiling you moved your hand away from Fluttershy's face back down her pink night-gown and towards her vagina. Fluttershy’s light blue eyes widened as she didn't expect you to just skip to foreplay without a kiss first. You lean in closer to Fluttershy becoming more aroused as you looked at her with that silly expression on her face, and kissed her passionately on the pink bed letting both your tongues meet while swapping salvia. As you both kissed, Fluttershy began to wrap her hooves around your neck to pull you closer as your fingers started to prod the very edge of Fluttershy's vagina.

Then several loud knocks sounded from the door. You paused completely and wondered who could that be and how they got into Fluttershy's house. Fluttershy rose up from the bed where she lay and got on her hooves walking towards the door as you took the cover of the bed and place it above your waist. Fluttershy arriving at the door looked at you and back at the wooden door and then opened it revealing Angel standing impatiently, holding a letter and his little rabbit paws tapping the wooden floor hard with an angry expression on his face.

"What's wrong Angel?"

Fluttershy asked him as she stepped back and let him hop into the room. He then grabbed the paper in his right paw and held it out to Fluttershy. It showed some writing in black which you couldn't read. Fluttershy’s expression of curiosity shifted to one of semi-sadness.

"What does it say?"

You asked curiously. Angel then just cocked his head at you and balling the paper up tossed it into your lap. You reach your hands out and started to unball the white wrinkled paper. The hand writing was in black pen which was smudged a lot making it completely illegible for you.

"Alright I can't read this."

You said loudly letting Angel and Fluttershy know. Angel in response just facepalmed at you and started to hop out the room and downstairs.

"Rarity is having a fashion emergency and wants all of us to come over. Don't worry, you don't have to come if you don’t want to."

Fluttershy said replying to comment, about to leave the room. You were going to open your mouth and say you would like to go, but Fluttershy did stated all of us which also meant that Rainbow Dash and Applejack might be at Rarity’s house as well. You then started to remember what Discord said to you and what your original plan was for coming back to Fluttershy's cottage as well. With nothing to say to her you leaned over off the pink bed picking up your jeans and started folding them.

"Alright. I guess you'll just stay here then?"

Fluttershy asked you as you were left speechless still thinking about what you were going to do when you came here and chickened out. Making a quick response you shook your head yes at Fluttershy as she started to walk out of the room looking at you. She then turned off the lights and went downstairs opening and closing her cottage door to begin her trip to Rarity's house. You then placed your folded jeans onto the wooden floor below and crawled to the corner of the bed covering yourself up and placing your head on the soft bed pillow.

"I'm so screwed tomorrow because I know Rainbow Dash will probably say or do something that will tip off Applejack and Fluttershy. Or it might be the other way around completely with Applejack and Fluttershy doing it. And I'm screwed if I don't go because I'm one hundred percent sure one of them will confront me for not going to Rarity's show."

You thought to yourself concerned on how it was going to go down tomorrow with Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy showing up at Rarity's show. With no more options left you came to the conclusion you would just tell all three of them tomorrow after Rarity went on stage at the fashion show. And after Rarity would go on you would tell them about how wrong it was from you to say you loved them and to cheat on them with their closest friend. You then closed your eyes resting on the pillow and let the darkness of sleep overtake you.
