Chapter 3: after race

Speedy walked up behind me and gave me a slap on the back.

" haha, you did good there, you crazy colt, thought you were going to get yourself hurt", Speedy exclaims, laughing.

I just smiled and replied, " yeah, well, maybe if you didn't boast so much, you'd could actually beat me".

" PFFF, what ya talking about, I don't boast, you must be hearing things, or you must be getting old", he said, nudging my shoulder.

" not in the slightest, my unicorn friend, I just used a better technique than you, that's all," I reply.

Speedy rolled his eyes at me.

" oh, don't be so modest, Diamond, this is your victory, celebrate it", he said.

" eh, I never liked  showing off my accomplishments like that, it's a sign of arrogance and pride, both of which I can't stand, " I reply, looking over at the crowd.

Speedy sighed.

" I never understood that about you, Double Diamond, you've always been the most modest out of any other snow skiers in our class, yet you've always been the best, how come", Speedy asks.

I looked at him and said, " I don't believe in showing off. My victories come from my skill and strategies as a skier, not from a over reliance  of pride. Too many athletes rely on their pride, not their skill".

I could tell Speedy still didn't get it, I guess to him, it makes no sense that I don't show any " pride" or going crazy when I win.

For me,  winning isn't everything, for as long as all of the skiers try their hardest and best, that's all that matters.

As the two of us walked past the gate to the road, a swarm of fangirls come after me.

" OH MY CELESTIA! DOUBLE DIAMOND, PLEASE SIGN THIS", was pretty much all I heard.

Apparently I was something of a celebrity among the mare fans of the sport, which I found quite odd, but hey, it doesn't bother me that much.

After signing autographs, or at least, as many as I can, I headed back home to my cabin.
