Equestria Connect

Soon it was the day if the first race of Equestrian Connect. All of the experts continued to say all that day that there would be an unlikely winner of all three. Twilight was hard at work as she had been practicing for days for the race. She was ready to show everypony wrong.

Twilight walked to the main racing arena and as she walked there she hoped that her friends would be there to cheer her on. When Twilight got to the main racing arena she was glad to see her friends in the front row talking to eachother before the race started.

Twilight told her trainer that she was there so they allowed her to prepare herself before the race like how the other contestants were doing. She was so determined to win all three. Many ponies in the audience betted against Twilight as they betted on contestants 3 and 5 but Twilight's friends betted on her as well as a few other ponies who knew her.

Twilight had her fur washed down thoroughly as other ponies were doing the same. She was so nervous. She knew that she couldn't back out now and she knew that if she failed she would be a laughing stock.

She stood completely still while she got her fur washed. She knew that the second and third race would probably be muddy so she would have to train on a muddy track before if that happens.

After getting her fur washed she got a number put on her and she examined it after it was placed on her cutie mark. She then looked around at the other contestants and examined every single contestant there.

Twilight tried to calm herself down as she was very nervous. She knew she had to run really well in order to win all three. The second and third races would be the hardest as the third one was the longest of the three but she knew that she could pull it off.

As the time of the race got closer Twilight's nervousness grew as she knew that this was going to be extremely hard. The last time all three Equestria connect races were won by the same pony was several years ago as no pony had won it since which was why everypony was doubting that Twilight could do it. Twilight began to think that she might mess up and loose the second or third one but she tried not to think that for long as she knew she just had to do her best.

Soon it was time for the contestants to be at the starting line in the racetrack so all the contestants went there including Twilight. As they got closer to them Twilight started to have a panic attack. She knew that these ponies would stop at nothing to win and prevent her from winning all three so she would have to do her best out there.

She heard the crowd cheering the other runners on including her. She got her wings tied to her sides so at she couldn't use them to cheat and entered the starting line and the doors were closed behind her. The other contestants were closed in to as they waited for the race to start.

She tried to calm her breathing as the gates would open in several moments. Soon all the other runners were closed into the other areas to begin. She got into a starting stance and tried to calm her breathing and prepared to focus on winning the race.

Soon the horn sounded and the gates opened and all of the contestants started running including her. She tried her hardest to pick up speed as she tried to pass several contestants.

She knew that if she didn't make it to the front she would lose. She didn't want that to happen so she continued to spring herself forward through the crowd of the other racers. She focused on one thing the finish line. As they rounded the far turn she did her best to move up more.

She moved up even more she passed the sixth fifth and fourth contestant. She was now third place. She was determined to make it up to first. She pushed all her might into her legs to make her go faster. She was huffing and panting.

Slowly she made up it up to second. Soon they rounded the far turn and that's were she made her move as she entered first place and increased her lead. She could hear ponies cheer her on.

She could almost smell victory. She was so close to the finish line and soon before she knew it she entered the home stretch and ran as fast as she could to make it there before she was passed and before she knew it she made it to the finish line and crossed it.

Ponies cheered loudly for her, she stopped racing and raised her good victoriously as she walked around the track basking in her glory. She was invited to the winners circle and her friends congratulated her.

"Wow Twilight you did it! I hope you win the next two!" Starlight said.

"Good job Twilight! You might just win the other two as well if you can win the first one you can win the second one!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Your going to break the drought darling I know you will! You will win all three. When I saw you out there I realized that you have the heart to do it. You will have to train hard though." Rarity commented.

"Yeah! Y'all are darn fast I reckon! You will win this thing and we will be cheering you along the way!" Applejack said as she ruffled Twilight's hair. As her other friends congratulated her Twilight blushed and spoke.

"Thanks girls I appreciate it." Twilight said.

"Your welcome!" Fluttershy said.

"One down! Two to go!" Pinkie Pie cheered. Twilight and her friends giggled and Twilight got her wings untied and left with her friends to go celebrate. Once they celebrated Twilight would take a break and resume training for the second race as she had tougher races ahead.
