Moonsongs

It was a tense moment. Moonsongs nerves had taken over her body. She seemed only to have the energy to pace back and forward hundreds of times on a tuft of worn down cloud. To her delight, a very familiar pink and purple air balloon was rocketing up into the sky with a very familiar pink pony inside.
"Oh boy Moona, I can't wait to watch you fly! You're gonna beat them all! Even rainbow dash, who is THE fastest pony EVER!" She leaned over the basket and put her hoof on the clouds.
"Wait Pinkie DON'T STEP ON THAT-"
"What, silly?" Pinkie began hopping on the cloud.
"I never will understand that pony..." murmered Moona to herself.

"Hello and welcome fillies and gentlecolts! We've got a race today that will sweep you off your hooves! Competing in todays race is the one and only, Rainbow dash!"
Cheers and whistles erupted from the eager crowd.
"And lets not forget, two of the spectacular wonderbolts, Spitfire and Soarin'!"
An even mightier cheer came from the crowd, some of which were standing up for the two wonderbolts.
"And finally, the towns very own mystery pony, Moonsong!"
Silence. All that could be heard was Pinkie Pies high pitched voice cheering as loud as she could.
"Ponies, please take your places at the starting line!"
Gingerly, Moonsong flew to the starting line between her two enemies, Spitfire and Soarin.
"Well well well, look who it is! Little Moonie Loonie..." Spitfire said boastily.
"Careful! Your Granny might come out here and give you a little kissy wissy!" jeered soarin.
Moonsongs eyes glowed with anger, her wings outstretched, ready to fly.
"And in 3... 2.... 1...."
The loud sound of the starting horn echoed throughout the arena.
Shooting off like a lion chasing its prey, Moonsong dashed through the arena. But after just a minute, Spitfire overtook her.
"Awww wittle moonie loonie! Your grannys not here to give you a kissy wissy now LOSER!"
A spire of smoke was left in Spitfires tracks.
"Hey moonie loonie, I bet your granny could fly faster than that! See you around sucker!"
Yet again, she was overtaken.
"Come on Moona. Get your act together. For the princess."
Her thoughts were interrupted by the announcers echoing voice.
"And it looks like we have a winner! Spitfire and Soarin came joint first place with Rainbow Dash second and Moonsong last! Bad luck Moonsong!"
"What? Was I really that slow?" whispered Moona to herself.
Princess Luna shot a worried look at Moonsong. She then proceeded to gracefully fly to the announcer and whisper something in his ear, staring at moonsong the whole time.
"Oh, it appears we have a last minute add on round! This ones for fancy wingwork! You will be in pairs for this challenge! First up: Spitfire and Soarin!"
An ear-piercing scream came from the audience, followed by overwhelming applause and cheering.
After their 2 minutes was up, the announcer returned to his podium and began commentating again.
"We've encountered some difficulties with Rainbow Dash! The poor mare has fractured her wing after hitting it on the finish line post as she flew past! Is there anypony who could take her place and work with Moonsong?"
"I will."
