CHAPTER 3 - RACING HISTORY!

"History is written by the winners, but what happens when no one wins?" Hypothetical question, personal quote

==================================================================================

Wild Star's Race Course

Scootaloo gulped as Rainbow Dash got into the starting position alongside the mysterious new male Pegasus known as Wild Star. During his warm-up laps, he was going just as fast as Rainbow Dash could, if not faster. She worried that this time, Rainbow Dash would be unable to win.

Wild Star meanwhile took a look at Rainbow Dash. Even after seeing how fast he was moving, she didn't look worried in the slightest. Either that, or she was really good at hiding her fear.

"Aren't you worried you might lose?" Wild Star asked Rainbow Dash.

"On the contrary, I'm excited to be racing someone as fast as you. I can't wait to show you just how fast I can really go. I'll be honest with you: I wasn't going at my top speed." Rainbow Dash stated.

"But how can that be possible? You didn't seem to be holding back one bit." Wild Star noted.

"Let's just say that I was making sure not to break the speed barrier." Rainbow Dash said.

"Ha! As if you could be as fast as I am once I get going." Wild Star said.

"Then prepare to be amazed, Wild Star." Rainbow Dash said.

"I would prefer it if you didn't disappoint." Wild Star said.

"Alright everypony..." A pink mare named Pinkie Pie said. "Let's see who will win: Ponyville's resident Wonderbolt Rainbow Dash or the new face known as Wild Star." Pinkie Pie said.

"If what you said is true about you holding back last time, then this time, swear you won't hold back for anything." Wild Star said.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" Rainbow Dash said, doing a Pinkie Pie promise.

"...The heck was that about?" Wild Star asked.

"I'll tell you after the race. Deal?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Deal!" Wild Star said.

"GET READY RACERS! ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO!" Pinke Pie said. Suddenly the two racers were off.

To say that the two were dead even to begin with was an understatement, soon though Wild Star pulled ahead, just breaking the speed barrier. He smirked. "So much for not holding back last time." he thought. Suddenly however, a loud "BOOM!" occurred as a Sonic Rainboom went off curtesy of Rainbow Dash who just did the same thing Wild Star did and now the two were dead even again.

"What? Impossible! I thought only I could break the sound barrier!" Wild Star thought to himself as the two continued to race; neither one able to pull ahead of the other at all for the remainder of the race.

"AND FINISH!" Pinke Pie shouted. The two fliers came to a sudden stop.

"So...who won?" Rainbow Dash asked. "No matter who won, this race was super awesome! You were super fast!" She said.

"You...you were..." Wild Star could not find the words. If he was right, then they had just tied. A tie. As in no winner and no loser. Wild Star was hoping he was wrong though. But in his heart, he had a feeling he was right.

"After reviewing the footage..." Twilight Sparkle said speaking into a microphone. "...It seems we have a tie." She said.

"A TIE?!" Everyone in the stands suddenly shouted at once. Pinke Pie even did a spit take with Water.

"A TIE?!" Pinke Pie re-asked.

"Wow...a tie. Still an awesome race though." Rainbow Dash said.

"We...tied..." Wild Star said, looking distant suddenly.

"That's right everypony, we have a tie!" Twilight Sparkle declared. Scootaloo ran over to Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash, you tied!" Scatooloo said.

"So I did. You can't win every time kid. Not even me." Rainbow Dash said. "But still, even though it was a tie, I'm glad we got to race Wild Star. We should hang out sometime." She added.

"...I think...I'd like that." Wild Star said before picking up his Limiter Bracelets and putting them back on. "Rainbow Dash wasn't it?" Wild Star asked Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash was curious.

"...Your official the first pony ever to tie with me. Before this, I haven't lost a single race; not a single one. Until today, every race I've been in, I've won by a landslide. But today, for the first time in my life, I actually tied with someone. Never before have I met someone whose as fast as you are Rainbow Dash. You keep being you. And I'll keep being me. And...while I'm done with the Wild Fliers Grand Prix, I don't think I'm done with racing. Not while your around." Wild Star explained before getting back into the air. "Until next time, Rainbow Dash." He said and flew off.

"...Until next time, Wild Star." Rainbow Dash said, waving him off. Then she remembered. "...HEY WAIT, I DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE PINKIE PIE PROMISE!" She said, and put down Scootaloo. "Sorry squirt, got to take care of one final loose end." Rainbow Dash said and speeded after Wild Star to tell him about the Pinkie Pie promise.

Meanwhile, Scootaloo smiled. One one hoof, her idol didn't lose the race. But on the other hoof, her idol now has actual competition now. She can't wait to meet Wild Star again, and maybe with him around, Scootaloo can actually fly. Only time will tell.

Unknown to everyone, a pink Pegasus filly with a cyan mane was viewing the race in secret.

"Wild Star...your awesome..." She stated, stars in her eyes.
