Receiving

The mane 6 were called to Celestia's Castle on warm,crisp morning.Celestia's sun just barely peeking over the foggy mountions.As they were entering the precious exspensive castle, guards stood like statues around every corner, watching there everymove. Rarity looked on in awe as she saw millions of glorious things, to window paynes, all the way to the glossy silver decked floor. Others just stared around cluelessly. As they came forth to the white alicorn, they bowed and then were given a signal to stand up. Celestia motioned them to follow her. After windings,twists,turns,dead ends, and a few screams later, they arrived in a gold plated room. Medals splashed the walls like a Pinkie Party Cannon full of metals went off. Many of the medals were 1st place and very few were 2nd. Twilight the purple lavender unicorn questioned Celestia why they were brought into the marvilous room.

"Miss Celestia, If I may, why are we here? Its only 7 AM!" Twilight pointed to a nearby silver block with numbers amaturely pasted onto it. Celestia ignored the question and then continued walking. Confused, Fluttershy asked to see if she could get a reply.

"Princess, Why are we he-" Fluttershy was cut off by a large banging sound, almost like tinfoil rubbing together. The ponies stomped around, flustered by the sound.After the grostiqe sound was ver, they were pushed into a dark room. Celestia then closed the door. The entire room was a pitch black. Almost out of nowhere, The lights beamed on. The lights were old and rusted, and provided a decent light, but it still looked dark. As they looked on, they saw Cars, fashioned in many diffrent ways. Most pure white and a few with decorations. Celestia walked towards a White cat with her Cutie mark on it and her hair stream painted onto the sides. She stroked the cart softly, then closed her eyes. A few Minute spassed and Celestia turned around.

"I wanted to tell you girls about PRUCS." Celestia smiled. The ponies had a puzzled look on there face as she finished the sentence.

"PROCS?" Pinkie giggled.

"No, PRUCS, Pruh-Ucs. PRUCS!" Celestia pointed to a large sign. it read:

**PRUCS    Ponies Racing Under Certain Secomstances!**

**Fun Isn't Fun Until You Win!** After reading the sign, Rainbow started to flap her wings.

"Racing?! Awesome!" the cyan pegasus punched the air as she moonwalekd in place.

"Im the fastest,toughest,and bestest pony in Equestria!" Rainbow declared flying up into the air and flexing her arms.

"Its not running or flying, Rainbow Dash." Celestia gave Dash a stern look as she returned to the ground.

"Huh? Watcha' mean Princess?" AppleJack ajusted her Straw tough hat.

"I mean," Celestia began. She then pointed a hoof towards 6 Blank white cars.

"You'll be racing in those!" All 6 of them almost did a back-flip. CARS?! WITH PONIES?!

"Miss! But-" Rarity began

"Wait... Isn't there a Grand Prize?" Rarity put her hooves together.

"Indeed. But I  won't reveal what it is until the race ends!" Celestia chuckled.

"B-but Princess, o-our carts! there b-blank!" Fluttershy whimpered.

"Paint them! Decorate, anything!Just make sure it has your Cutie Mark so we know its yours!" Celestia smiled. She then grabbed 6 small pouches. and handed them out.

"Theres a key in there. grab your cart and start decorating! Only 2 weeks til the Grand Race!" Celestia laughed as she walked away. The 6 ponies then trotted over to there carts. They looked like Cars, but Celestia called them carts-oh whatever. As everypony started to get a hang of driving it, Rainbow Dash hit a button. He cart then spun to the right, on only 2 wheels. Rainbow screamed as she was flung out of her car. The other ponies laughed as Dashie blushed and returned to her car. The best so far was Rarity, she moved around with ease on the large area. Heading towards the door, Twilight stopped Rarity to maybe get some tips on how to drive this thing!

"Well Dear, you have to grip it hard at first, then you can loosen it once you can wrap your hooves around the grooves!" Twilight thought *Thats what she said* but decided not to say it out-loud. Afterall, this pony was giving her first hand tips!

As everypony began to swerve and drive with ease, they decided to bring them home and decorate them!  The Pure white surface was glossy, and sticky so it wouldn't stick to paint that well, spray paint either. Before AJ could tell everypony this, they had already gone home. AJ Didn't know what to do! She could either work on her own cart, or tell the others and not get nearly enough time to decorate her cart! Not even Celestia herself could help AJ on this one. That's why, She decided it was for the best, She was going to work on her own cart, Though, she might regret it, She has to win! There might be Prize money and she could pay for Granny Smith's funeral! AJ tried her best to stay strong, even though the element of Honesty, cant even tell her friends about the Truth about the carts. Though it hurts to see your friends potentially Crash & Fall, sometimes you need to focus on yourself, and thats what Aj is doing, she needs to do this, its the right thing, Right? Or maybe she should tell them, but what if they find out later and they find out she knew! They would be furious that she didn't tell them a valuable secret! But Secrets are good sometimes, Right? But shes the Element of HONESTY! She needs to come clean and tell them. No. NO. NOO!! Everyone has always screwed AJ Over and they have an upper-hand because they never tell the *Stupid Southern Pony!* Whats the point of telling the Pink frizz freak, Purple book nerd, white clothing hog, blue wo-MAN, and the shy nobody!It was settled, no matter WHAT, AJ is keeping that Secret, even if she is the element of Honesty, She needs to learn how to be asertive and not let her friends walk all over her! But there her Besties!But Shes a Southern Belle, Nobody dares to challege her. Wait... Whats happening to her? AJ Grips her blonde her

"I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!" She screamed, letting tears burst and flow down her orange face, plopping onto the floor.
