Adventures of Dragon Charge and Friends: Speed Ponies

As the two went into the stands, Retro began talking. "Nice for the four of us to get to hang out again, eh, Tenny?"

Tenacity nodded quietly.

"Have any other friends?" He asked, curious.

Tenacity shook her head.

"Bummer, I was thinking we could invite more ponies over for board games."

They both remained silent for a little while before Retro spoke up again. "Ever played Risky? It's a war based board game."

Tenacity spoke. "No."

Retro got excited. "I'll bring it to the castle next time we meet up. Oooo, you're going to love it!"

Tenacity smiled a bit. "Looking forward to it.", she stated.

They went up to the concession stand, and Tenacity refilled her drink, but before they could get very far, a stallion approached Tenacity.

"Hey, beautiful.", the earth pony remarked, flashing a cocky grin at her. "Come to cheer me on?" He put his arm around her shoulder.

     "Actually, I just came to see the race with my friends, thank you.", she replied, trying to move past him and back towards the seating area.

     However, when she moved, the stallion moved in front of her and placed his arm around her again.

     "C'mon, ditch the losers, roll with The Stone instead.", he said.

     For some reason, he felt the need to point out, "That's me, by the way." He put his face close to hers. "Can you smell what The Stone is cookin'?"

     Tenacity's face grew repulsed as she put her hoof over her nose. "Unfortunately, yes. It's quite potent, I'll give you that.", she said, trying to walk past him again.

     He once again grabbed her, getting her a bit frustrated.

     "Look, I advise you unhand me before things get...", she started before hearing her friend's voice.

     "Hey! Show some respect for the nice lady.", Retro said angrily.

     Tenacity spoke to him, "Retro, I can handle this myself. Stay out of it.", she warned him. He began to walk towards his seat before The Stone opened his mouth again.

     "Yeah, go on, ya gay little wimp."

     Despite not being the homosexual type, Retro began to calmy approach him and tell him why that last sentence was so messed up, but Tenacity's anger had already been set off.

     "You JERK! Don't... talk... to my friends... that way!", she shouted, furiously punching The Stone in the face repeatedly. He began screaming as Retro tried to calm his friend down.

     Quickly, the rest of the D Squad ran over to see what was going on. Dragon and Critic also ran over, hearing the screams from their seats.

     "What's up? We heard some little girl wailing, and...", Dragon started.

     They looked over at Tenacity, who had been grabbed by a security guard and The Stone, who was crying into Zoey Chinn's shoulder. Danny, the Squad's leader, Looked over at Dragon with angry eyes.

     "These your friends?", he asked, pointing to Retro and Tenacity.

     "Yes. Why?", Dragon questioned.

     "The mare attacked my buddy here."

     Retro immediately spoke up.

     "Your buddy was being a disrespectful punk to Tenacity!", he shot back.

     Danny looked at the security guards. "Take them away.", he commanded.

     "Wait, we payed for this, and your 'buddy' harasses my friends? Seems like he got what was comin' to him.", Dragon said.

     "How about a deal? We race you for the right to stay."

     Danny smiled at this. "You really know what you're getting into?"

     Dragon ignored him. "But let's make it interesting. If we win, you all have to wear a dress to the rest of your races for this year."

     "Alright", Danny said confidently. "But if we win, your gal pal has to join our team. We could use a bodyguard."

     Dragon was hesitant at first, but Tenacity, still in angry mode, shouted, "DEAL!"

     And so, the bet was made.
