Passion Note Moves to Ponyville

Passion Note was at the market, looking around for a gift to buy for the visit of his little sister: Coda Epistle.

"I don't know about this one."He said holding up a snowglobe. He placed it back down and walked over to a different stall. He looked at the wares and noticed a lone kite sitting up on a shelf. "Hmm, we could go fly a kite."He pondered. "Yeah, but I think Starlight would appreciate this more. I'll keep this in mind for later."He decided.

He walked over to a stall and was looking at its wares when he felt a sudden tap and jumped slightly into the air due to the surprise. He looked behind him and saw Rainbow Dash hovering behind him ."Geez Rainbow, that almost scared me to bits."He said with a firm tone.

"Sorry, I saw you looking all contemplative and figured I pulled a prank. Wasn't as funny as I thought."She explained. She landed on the ground and looked at the stall too. "What are you doing anyway?"She asked.

"Trying to find a gift for my sister when she visits. I'd do it later, but I have no idea when she would be visiting."He explained. He picked up a book and looked at the title. "Hmm, not sure she would be a fan of Daring Do. But maybe she'd like a nice necklace from the stall over there."He said as he placed the book down and walked over to another stall.

"First, Daring Do is always a good gift. Second, why are you thinking so hard about this? I'm sure if I had a sister, she would be thrilled to have anything that I bought her."Rainbow told him. He looked back with an eyebrow raised and she looked back. "What?"She asked.

"Scootaloo."He answered before looking at more necklaces. He picked up one with green emeralds and a nice pink heart and put it down. "Nah, too color clashing."He said without a thought. He then stopped for a second and shook his head. "Whoa, had a Rarity moment there."He said

"Sure, you could call Scoots my sister. But I meant an actual little sister."She said looking up at the clouds. "You know, that kind of reminds me of that race you and I had during your first week of moving here."She said after a split second of thinking.

Passion knew where this was going and started thinking back to the day. It was a rainy day and Passion had been sitting inside his home enjoying some soup when a knock came at his door. He got up and went to answer it.

"Who's there?"He asked. He could hear muffled voices behind the door and recognized one of them was Dash. "Hey, Passion. I don't think you should be staying indoors during such an awesome rain storm like today's."She said. Passion shook his head.

"I don't really like the rain. It fogs up my glasses and makes it hard to see."He told her without opening the door. He listened to the door and overheard the second voice talking to her. This one he didn't know at all. And so he opened the door and looked outside.

He then quickly looked down and saw an orange pegasus filly who was standing next to Rainbow. "Uh, hi."He said. The filly smiled and he sighed. Rainbow was busy looking up at the rain clouds to notice.

"So, you're the new guy that Rainbow Dash told me about?"The filly asked. She looked at him again and took a walk around him just to make sure. He laughed in awkwardness and she smiled again.

Without a word, Rainbow Dash flew up to the rain clouds and started clearing them. The two on the ground watched and when she was done, she came back down to the door and grinned. "Now that I've taken care of that, Scootaloo said she wanted to meet you. So I brought her over."She explained.

"Yeah, I wanted to see if you wanted to race."She said bursting with energy out of nowhere. The stallion in front of them thought about it for a second before closing his door. As the two looked at each other in confusion, the door opened again. He was now wearing a sweatband and missing his vest but had put on a watch.

"Wow, totally did not expect that," Scootaloo said slightly surprised. He looked at his watch and then back at them. He gave a quick nod and took off running. "Hey, we haven't even decided on the location."She said running after him with Rainbow close behind.

She finally caught up to him at Sugarcube Corner and he leaned against the building, a little proud of his accomplishment. "That was only part one. Now we can begin the real race."He said as Rainbow showed up. He pointed to a tree in the distance.

"First one to run to that tree wins the race."He said. Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash looked for the tree and found it was near Sweet Apple Acres. They looked at each other, smiled and looked back at him. "What?"He asked.

"No problem, I'll be there and back before you both can even move an inch,"Rainbow said as she got into position. Passion shook his head and smiled. She looked at him in slight confusion and his horn started glowing. There was nothing she could do as he summoned some rope out from behind him and tied her wings to body.

"Just so you can't fly there and back while we run."He said. He got into position and so did Scootaloo. Rainbow reluctantly did as well.

"Fair enough, I guess."She replied. "3...2... 1...GO!!"All three said together as they counted down. They each took off and somehow went into different directions in order to take different paths. Passion went straight, while Scootaloo went left and Rainbow went right.

At first, Passion wasn't sure how this made sense, but let it go in order to focus on the race. He passed by some houses before seeing Rainbow trailing ahead. She looked back at him and waved before running faster. He sighed and picked up speed.

He soon passed by a theater performance being put on and saw Scootaloo as well. She looked back at him and he noticed that she was behind him. He stopped for a few seconds in order to let her catch up before continuing to run. Soon, all three had left Ponyville and were approaching the tree.

But Passion had one more trick up his sleeve. he used magic to force his watch and sweatband off his head in order to lessen his weight and gain some speed. And it worked, if only slightly as there wasn't much he had on at the time. He looked around and saw both Rainbow and Scootaloo right next to him as the tree was fast approaching.

As the final few feet of the race came, they each dove in order to touch the tree first and they collided with, not only each other but the tree itself. When the dust cleared, they were all touching the tree and so it was a tie. "That was so much fun,"Scootaloo said jumping into the air.

"Yeah, I admit, I may have been going easy on you two. But that was awesome."Rainbow said as she helped a slightly dizzy Passion onto his hooves. He cleared his head a little and smiled. "Yes, yes it was."He said before shaking hooves with both of them.

Just then, he heard Rainbow's voice calling him back to the present and he looked at her. She smiled and held up a toy piano. "While you were spacing out, I grabbed this for you."She said. He took it and inspected it.

"This is perfect, thank you."He said graciously. She smiled and touched his horn. He gasped, right before she took off. He placed the toy piano in one of his vest's pockets and took off after her.
