Equestria Girls: Street Outlaws

The next morning soon came, and the group of girls were gathered around the table in the kitchen, enjoying a delicious breakfast cooked up by Applejack and Pinkie Pie. It was then that Sunset decided to tell her best friends her idea. "So, I was thinking last night. Why couldn't we do what those guys on Street Outlaws do?"

The room suddenly went quiet as everyone looked at Sunset. The flamed haired girl looked around the room, taking in the shocked looks of her friends, and a soft blush formed across her face. It was Applejack who finally broke the silence, rubbing her forehead "Y'all want us ta do what now?!"

"Now, just hear me out girls." Sunset held her hands up in defense at the suddenness of AJ's comment "I know I sound crazy, but I couldn't stop thinking of us doing what the 405 guys do. I mean, we've faced much worse then a bunch of street racers, so how hard could it be?"

"Sunset, darling, you do remember the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode, right?" Rarity had set her fork down, reaching over and placing her hand on the former unicorn's shoulder "Sure, it looks fun, but street racing is also highly dangerous..... not to mention expensive"

"Plus, we don't have any cars that would fit the means for street racing" Rainbow leaned her head against her fist as she looked over at Sunset "All our cars defiantly wouldn't stand up to the challenge"

"Annnnnnd, we don't know the first thing about working on cars..... Well, except for maybe you and AJ' Pinkie quickly moved her hand between the two girls. So fast, it almost looked like a blur. In other words, typical Pinkie.

It was indeed true. Since Sunset had come to the human world from Equestria, she had grown a fondness for the automobile. She had a particular love for old, classic muscle cars, thus why she was more interested in the cars the 405 guys raced more then the drivers themselves. So much so, that she came to know a local mechanic who let her help out every now and then, showing her a few things.

"That maybe true, but I think Ranch maybe able to help us out." Sunset rubbed her chin in thought, giving her fashionable friend a smile for the fondness of putting her hand on her shoulder.

"Um... who's Ranch?" Fluttershy had remained mostly quiet during the discussion, thinking it would be better to let the rest of her friends figure things out while she finished eating her breakfast.

"Ranch Wider, he's a local mechanic that I sometimes help out with on the weekends. He's a former stock car driver as-" Sunset was cut short by a collective gasp from around the table.

"Ranch Wilder? You mean THE Ranch Wilder?!" Rainbow's eyes were wide as she stared at Sunset "As in 5 time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Ranch Wilder?!" Clearly, Rainbow knew her race car drivers.

Sunset, while taken aback slightly, quickly recovered her composure "Yes, the very same one. As you know, he retired a few years ago and moved here to open a repair shop. Sure, he could've gone into broadcasting, but he told me he wanted to slow down. Plus, said he always wanted to open up a repair shop." She nodded as her friends calmed down, taking in everything that Sunset had told them "There's a junk yard out behind his shop, maybe he has some cars that will work. So, what do you girls say?"

The group remained silent for a short time, thinking over what Sunset had just proposed. It sounded very promising, plus it was something they could do together. This time, it was Rarity who spoke first "Oh, why not. I do admit that it does sound pretty fun. Plus, it means we can all do it together." The fashionista held her hand in the middle of the table, hoping the rest of her friends would do the same.

"Ahh shoot, count me in" Applejack nodded, placing her hand on top of Rarity's.

"Well, of course I'm in! This is going to be so awesome!" Rainbow quickly added her hand to the pile.

Soon enough, Pinkie, Twilight and Fluttershy joined in the pile. The group of friends then looked at Sunset, smiling brightly. A smile that was reflected onto her face as she placed her hand on top "Alright then. After breakfast, We'll head over to Ranch's shop and see if he can help!" With that, the girls raised their arms into the air in triumph before getting back to eating their breakfast.

As soon as the girls finished up their breakfast, they quickly changed and headed out the door. The decision was made for them too take two cars, those being Sunset's sedan and AJ's truck. Most of the girls climbed into Applejack's extended cab truck, while Rarity rode shotgun in Sunset's car. Finally getting themselves settled, AJ followed behind Sunset as they made their way towards the shop.

"So, Sunset, seeing as how this was all your idea, I'm going to guess it involves the 405 somehow?" Rarity looked over at her dear friend, who mostly kept her eyes on the road.

Sunset couldn't help but blush a little as they drove along "Like I said back at my apartment, I couldn't easily fall asleep last night because I kept.... imagining us being in place of the 405. And, I thought, if we got good enough..... we could challenge the 405 list with one of our own"

Rarity's eye's went wide a little as she heard what Sunset had in mind for them to do with this, before taking the time to think it over "Well, it's a nice theory darling, but I do find one problem it"

"What's that?" Sunset was suddenly a little concerned, not realizing that she had overseen a little detailed in her plan that, at the time, she thought was flawless.

"Well, actually a couple. For one... I don't exactly see Fluttershy being up to doing this with us. Bless her heart.... but I just think asking her to street race is just a little.... too much for her." Rarity looked back towards AJ's truck, where the butter yellow girl sat in the backseat.

"Yeah.... I guess your right. I honestly didn't think that part through enough." Sunset sighed as one part of her plan fell apart. She didn't take into consideration how Fluttershy would go along with it "I wanted us to hopefully put our own list together, to challenge the 405's list."

"That raises the other problem. Even if Fluttershy would participate, that only leaves us with seven racers, without her it's six. Your wanting us to go up against a list of ten highly skilled racers, with many more years of experience, without a full roster of drivers ourselves"

Now this one, Sunset had already thought ahead of how to tackle that problem "I was thinking of asking Ranch if he could possibly come out of retirement and race on our list. We could also ask around for other to fill out the remaining spots" She nodded, turning off the highway and headed towards the city.

Rarity contemplated what Sunset had just said, going over everything in her head "Are you sure Ranch would be up to not only helping us build the cars, but race alongside us as well?" That part, Rarity wasn't sure about.

"There's only one way to find out, right?" Sunset gave her very fashionable friend a smile as they continued along, nearing the shop.

"I hope you know what your doing darling"

After a few more minutes of driving, they soon pulled up to a two bay auto repair shop. It was still early in the morning, so not much was going on around the shop. A middle aged man was out front, lifting up the bay doors. He had slightly dark blonde hair with a darker streak of blonde going down the center, and was dressed how you'd expect a car mechanic to be dressed. Upon hearing the cars pull up, he turned and waved seeing it was Sunset and her friends.

Said girl gave a wave back as she shut her car off and climbed out, Rarity getting out on the other side "Morning Ranch!"

"Morning Sunset! Not use to seeing you here either this early or on a Saturday for that matter" he still smiled as he walked over to the group, the others having climbed out of AJ's truck. Upon reaching them, Ranch and Sunset proceeded to do a welcoming handshake, which included a few hand slaps, a fist bump, some jazz fingers and ended in a brief one armed hug "So, I'm going to assume these are your friends that you've praised about all the time?"

"Yup, that's them." The fiery haired girl made a sweeping motion with her hand at her group of friends before introducing them individually "Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy"

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Ranch Wilder" He tipped his ball cap at everyone, smiling warmly "So, what brings you by my shop this early on a Saturday?"

"Well, ya see Mr. Wilder, It would be better ta let Sunset explain" Applejack nodded, moving her stetson hat up a bit off her forehead.

"Well come on in." Ranch waved towards the front door and started off the rest of the girls soon following after him. They soon reached the office, where Ranch took the chance to sit behind his desk "So, what is that you want to talk about?"

Sunset took a deep breath to help compose herself. It was now or never "Ranch, I know you've heard of Street Outlaws, seeing as how you've shown re-runs in the waiting area." The older mechanic nodded, already having an idea of where Sunset was going "So, after watching last night's new episode, I thought that we could start our own list." She pumped her fist a little for emphasis "But, in order to do that, we need your help"

Ranch remained silent as Sunset explained why they had all shown up at his shop so early in the morning, thinking things over "You do realize how dangerous racing is, let alone racing on the street, right?"

"We do, but we're behind Sunny 1,000%!!" Pinkie happily bounced in place, receiving nods of agreement from the collective group of girls.

Ranch sighed a little, seeing that he wasn't going to be able to talk them out of it "Let me guess, you want to look out back too see if there's anything you can use, don't you?" He also had a feeling that he was going to be doing more then just helping the girls build their cars "And you want me to race on your list"

"How did you know?" Sunset looked at Ranch, a little awestruck at the fact that he already knew what it was that she had planned on asking him. Course, she had known him long enough that he probably already knew before she even started talking.

"I know you well enough by now Sunset. OK, I agree." He smiled at the group of girls as he stood up "Now come on, let's go see if we can't find you girls some suitable cars"

As he walked out with the rest, Fluttershy stopped Sunset before she could follow them "Sunset.... can I talk with you for a moment"

Just as Rarity had thought, Sunset could already see it in Fluttershy's eyes. The former student of Princess Celestia gave her shy friend a comforting smile as she placed her hand on the girls shoulder "Fluttershy, I already know what your going too say, and it's totally fine if you don't want to race. I figured it probably would't be for you. I understand"

Fluttershy returned the smile with one of her own, before giving Sunset Shimmer a big hug "Thank you Sunset"

A hug that she was more then happy to return "Your welcome Fluttershy. Now, let's go join the others and see what we can find." they soon walked out of the office and followed after their friends.
