Introduction

Author's Note

This will be the only non-con scene for the story as a whole.

Introduction

Moxi Moonlight and her brother Ash were walking to school, Moxi was carrying her skates over her shoulders. "Hurry it up slowpoke I'm gonna be late!" Ash ordered as he was wishing he had a brother instead. Moxi had to trot to keep up. "You do realize that you're not worth much right? You are not that strong or fast for an earth pony. The only thing you're good for is breeding. One day you'll finally gonna be worth something." Ash heard a whimper.

"Why do you have to be so cruel to me? I'm doing the best I can."

"It's not good enough, try harder! Besides I treat you well."

"Only to keep quiet about all the times you and your mare friend make out in mom and dad's bed! I can hear you there, all I would like from you is some good wholesome fun from you!"

Ash spun around and spat in Moxi's face and slapped it, "Shut up and walk!" They made it to school and Moxi nervously walked to her locker. The captain of the roller team was gryphon named Graphite. Moxi saw the other skaters with him.

"So Moxi," Graphite said as he curled an arm around her and hugged the mare in a manner that made her feel uneasy. "When we haze you into the team, I want to let you know it's a three-step process which spans over a couple of weeks." As the group walked off, Graphite stole a kiss from her as she struggled to get free. "Don't bail on us or you'll regret it."

Wiping her mouth, and begining3to fears she might lose herself she almost wanted to bail but Ash threatening to have her make him some extra bits if she bailed had her keeping her course. Aah after class, walked up to Moxi, and through his forelegs around her barrel a d he commented, "You're soft, if you weren't my sister I'd bang you in a heartbeat."

"That's gross Ash! Get yourself off of me!"

"My buckball team offered me forty bits each if they could bang you but I told them no." Moxi was feeling violated as her brother's hooves caressed her. Being only a third of his size she couldn't do much. Once they got home Moxi went to her room to do her homework.

She could hear their parents going on a date, rolling her eyes she studied on. After a few hours, she heard her brother talking to Graphite. In a few short moments, they were in her room and had closed the door. Feeling trapped she backed into a corner. She was rudely yanked from the corner and shoved into the center of her room. "So Ash, do you think the others would mind if had a test run?"

"Naw, it should be fine I mean she's got to get a warm-up now." Ash chuckled as Graphite began to caress the smaller pony and held her close. Roughly twelve pony stallions showed up and Moxi got passed around as she fondled, groped, and forced to French kiss every single one of them. Ash just smirked as she gave him that look of a pony who'd been violated. As the others left a few hours later, Graphite groped and fondled her more.

"When you're of age, we're gonna teach you new things." It was now just her and Ash, as she began to shower she felt like she was going to bail on the skate team, Why isn't Ash protecting her like be vowed? She felt him behind her and she tensed up as he began to scrub her.

"Ash! When mom and find out you did this I'll make sure they know about the others!"

"If you snitch, I'll make sure that my buckball team and that skate team leave you so abused that you'll wish that you kept that mouth shut. Besides, if you were to snitch I'd have my way with you right now!" Ash pinned her to the wall and kissed her.

College

Moxi was now seventeen and was the roller skate champion and held speed records match the speeds of a student in Canterlot named Sunny Starscout. Ash went to Moxi's home and had brought friends over to a party she was throwing, unaware hell was just a few feet away. Ponies were getting drunk, and around 1 am she was feeling drowsy, and if she could have known the signs she would've panicked! She was shoved to the floor and above her stood Graphite and Ash along with five other stallions.

She recognized the griffin, the other five pegasi she recognized as:

Phantom Haze

Flatspin

Techno Flare

Nike and Adidas

All stallions from the skate team. "Okay everypony, six bits to have a go at her! For all, I care to do it rough." She tried to escape but to no avail. She fought back, but that just spurred them on. After the five pegasi had their full of raping her flew off to get some sleep and go bang their more friends. Graphite looked at Ash and smirked as his friend let him set up a video camera and watch as Graphite brutally raped her. Once he was done, she lay there and waited for Ash to attack her, it never came; Graphite pounced again and began to beat her. The attack was swift, a claw came down and she barely dodged it and felt it cut deep over her left eye and the claw tips as they damaged her left eye. Blind in that eye and trying to stop the blood flow, she felt Graphite land on her back left leg and shattering the bone. She knew in the back of her mind that it'll be amputated. Giving Ash one last glance she felt hurt and betrayed, after an hour she was in a heap and hurled into a corner.

"Come in Ash, have a go at your sister; hell you kissed her a bunch now she's legal to have some fun. I'll turn the camera off. She feels great, besides she can't hurt you."

"It would be wrong to knock up my sister. Then again, I do owe her for that time she stole those bits from me."

"Ash! Those were what you promised to pay me if I didn't tell mom and dad that you impregnated and dumped your mare friend of yours! You wouldn't dare rape me as well. fine just get it over withà"

Ash had tons of fun as Moxi whimpered beneath him, soon enough Graphite had joined him. When it was all over Moxi just lay still and sobbed.

The Grind

Moxi shakily walked the coffee shop where she had gotten a job, she had to quit using her recreational drugs for a year so she could pass the drug test. The bell above the door tinkled, looking up she saw a group of ponies walking up. "Good evening welcome to The Grind! What can I get for you?" a unicorn stallion walked up, I'd like a grandè Cookie Crumble Mocha."

"Name for the order?"

"Writer Rhyme"

"I'd like to get a grandè iced coffee with a double shot of espresso."

"name for the order miss?"

"Moonlight Spell"

"I'd like a mango smoothie with apricots blended in and an apple fritter."

"Name?"

"Stormlight"

"I'd like a grandè Chai tea lattè iced and a Danish........." looking at the screen the pony saw her order was skewed. "I said you empty-headed earth pony ICED CHAI TEA LATTÈ!" Moxi cringed and fixed it.

"Name miss?"

"Ire Heaven..............do I have to spell it for you!" Moxi wished that her partner for the counter hadn't gone on break! Once the orders were ready she began to carry them to the booth where the others had gone and began a round of what was like Dungeons and Dragons. She made it to the table, well almost and she tripped on her prosthetic as its hinge locked up. Coffee went everywhere and as Ire stood up she bumped into Moxi and ended up with coffee on her.

"You idiot Klutz! Why can't you be careful?" Ire gave Moxi a hard shove to the floor. Ire went on in a tirade and Moxi just curled up and whimpered and was mumbling about the incident being an accident. When Writer bent down, Moxi went into a fetal defensive position and was crying. Ire backed off and began to get curious. This mare was acting odd, upon closer examination noted under a very thin layer of fur three scars that she had assumed were from a griffin. The curious thing was the reaction to Writer Rhyme, this small mare was doing her best to stay from him now and had tensed up. Moxi cleaned up the mess and brought out a replacement for everypony.

"Ire, you didn't need to be so rough with her."

"I know Stormlight, do you all want to do some digging up on her? Something was off, I saw claw marks above her left eye and I am beginning to get curious about her." Ire spent the night watching Moxi, she saw Moxi be cordial with the griffin customers but could tell that Moxi was scared to be that close to them. When Moxi went on her break she cried, it had been to the day five years since she had been violated, she cried, and once again like other times, she felt like killing herself. The scars on her forelegs which at the moment were covered by the sleeves of the uniform shirt which she wore for work.

Moxi saw that the group of ponies were busy at their game except for the one she remembered was named Ire. Ire she noted was watching her, she felt depressed again, rehab centers didn't help shrinks weren't any hell either. When the time to close up came, her coworker left early and she got stuck with the cleaning.

The bell tinkled and Moxi not turning around said, "Sorry we're closed. We open at 5:30 tomorrow morning."

"Really sis? Is that how you greet me? By the way, I brought an old friend." Moxi froze, realizing she was in the backroom and the camera system was down she feared for the worse. The worst did happen and she did her best to recover her senses and finished her job. Once completed she went to the bus stop and noted that she missed the last bus for the night. Quickly as possible, she walked home. Tears made streaks on the fur of her cheeks and sobbing, she had the consolation that she had some stuff that made bet happy and stuff to calm her nerves; which drug she had to choose to use before bed.

The next morning she awoke to the sun shining and her cellphone was lit up from texts saying she sad late for work. She hustled and made it there and saw her boss glaring daggers. "You're late Moxi!"

"I'm sorry Columbia, I won't let it happen...happen again, sir." Columbia caught the stutter and noticed that Moxi was not her usual self. Her coworker a mare named Sumatra snickered.

"Had fun last night? Those boys you knew gave ya a good time?"

"No Sumatra, they didn't! Those boys are creatures I never wanted to as again, my injuries were caused by them! Tonight you're cleaning up the joint!" Moxi never used the ice-cold tone that she just used before, it was cold and yet packed a venom behind it. Her anger was boiling and she was in a bad mood.

Meanwhile

Windy was going was digging through old police files and finally found her target, she began to read Moxi's file and became appalled at what she read. She texts Moonlight who had found news articles about Moxi and her incident. Ire in the meantime read her texts, and she had found records in the Las Pegasus archives, her heart stopped, Moxi Moonlight was a six-time roller skating champion and still held the highest speed record ever recorded for skating. Then she paused and wept as she sat alone in the archives, she found the portion about Moxi's hospital records and court hearings; Moxi she realized was a train waiting to derail! She called her friends and told them what she had learned, she just hoped she wasn't too late to make things right.

At "The Grind"

Moxi saw her brother Ash and her ex-boyfriend Graphite sipping mochas and giving her subtle smirks as they walked out. She was able to slip to the restroom and stuck a needle into her foremen and proceed to inject her cocaine into the vein. Feeling more stable she went back to work. Her mane had a few strands that found a way under her hairnet and she could see that Columbia was watching her closely and saw a look of concern on his face.

She had to play it cool and act as if nothing was wrong; at least keep it together until she got home.

Spiraling

Once Moxi got home late that night, she went into a room that she kept locked and swung the door open. The interior looked like a grenade went off in it. Moxi sat in the middle of that room and drew a torn dress from a chair that was located near a bookcase. Memories flooded in, and she curled up and down several strong medication dose painkillers some of which were dosed at 900mg. As the pain of the memories subsided and her mind began to fog, she saw two figures enter the room but didn't care. The next morning, she slugged a couple of beers down and drowsily brushed her teeth, and went to work. Depressed she completed her tasks of getting things operating. She got bored when a voice barked out, "Klutz I want an Iced Chai Tea Lattè!" Looking up she saw Ire Heaven tapping a hoof impatiently.

"Yes ma'am, would you like a Danish? On me, if you so desire one."

"Moxi...are you...doing okay? You seem a bit, well off."

"I'm Fine!" Moxi snapped and sent a hoof across the counter and it made contact. Ire more in a bad mood struck back. At that moment Ire's friends pulled the two apart. Moxi was bristling mad, she picked up the Chai Tea Lattè and tossed the contents into Ite's face. Moxi froze and just laid her apron down and walked out. She quickly hopped onto a bus and was gone. Writer and Moonlight looked at Stormlight for backup. Stormlight looked at Windy who shrugged.

Two Hours Later

Moxi was standing in a roller rink with a set of skates on and she had just finished an old routine of hers. An orange earth pony with a purple mane and tail rolled onto the rink. She was fast and well-skilled, Moxi chased after her. Moxi soon learned that with one bad leg, she couldn't keep up; she was lagging a full fifty feet the whole way. Worn out she collapsed. "Hi! I'm Sunny Starscout, over on the bleachers are my friends; there's Izzy with the tennis ball, the sisters Zipp and Pipp and the stallion is named Hitch. Aren't you Moxi Moonlight? You hold the majority of records for speed skating?"

"I am Moxi, and I can't skate as I used to. I gotta go...bye kiddo." Moxi left and waved to the others. She stopped at a club and bought the strongest alcoholic thing she could buy. As she sipped, a white unicorn with an electric blue many accompanied by a grey earth pony sporting a magenta bowtie walked up.

"You look like you could use some cheering up, I'm Octavia and this is Vinyl."

"I'm fine damn it!" Moxi stormed out of the club and sat on a bench a few blocks down the street and sludged her drink down and with it some painkillers. She was now home, she had just locked the door; if she was sober she'd had realized that her front door was unlocked. She got yanked around and things went dark.

Meanwhile

"Ire, don't know why but I'm really worried about that mare from the coffee shop. I feel like she needs help dealing with her past."

"I know Windy, I feel like if we try now she'd reject it. She'll have to hit rock bottom first." As the group chatted and clueless to was going down across town, the coffee shop mare was going to spiral a whole lot faster.

Across Town

Moxi was bring mauled, being in dark and having nothing to strike she just rolled with punches.

There was a familiar scent...she screamed in terror as it clicked in her mind. Morning came and Moxi lay in the living room sore from the night before, crying she stood and found three cans of beer and chugged them down. Grabbing a straw she snorted up cocaine and stayed home. Turning off her cellphone and just tossing across the room and landing it on the counter of the kitchen. Curling up in a chair she sat motionless as she knew Ash could be coming for a second round of her body.

Moxi hated her life, even after the first incident her parents were just passive about it. Ash just talked to and that was it! Even when they were just foals, Ash told his family and friends that he'd never hurt his sister; but when they were alone he'd do things to her. Graphite on the other hoof did use the other night, but he wasn't so rough. Drinking another beer she went to the room where Ash and Graphite had raped her years before and curled up and waited to die.

Spiraling Part 2

Two months had past and Ire and the others for concerned when they learned that Moxi hadn't shown up for work for two months and was terminated
They tracked down where she lived and knocked on the door. Silence ensued. Windy and Ire rammed the door and it swung open. "Search the house! She's got to be here!" They froze in the kitchen when painkiller bottles lat everywhere, beer bottles and cans were strewn about and empty plastics bags on the table and straws were had shown use.

"Ire she's not upstairs!" Stormlight hollered.

"Nothing here" Screamed Moonlight from the back of the house. They were now scared and Writer noticed one room they hadn't searched yet. Opening the door they found their missing mare and she looked terrible but still alive. Ire slowly stepped toward Moxi, the latter stood or at least tried to stand up. Ire caught her as she fell. Moxi still drunk and drugged up from her painkillers and cocaine struck out and her hoof made contact with Ire's muzzle. Ire's own temper flared and she retaliated. The group tore the mares apart, Ire gently walked up to Moxi who was now sobbing.

"Hush now young one, just breath." At that moment a knock was heard and very clumsily Moxi answered it. She was visibly drunk and stoned, the stallion hoofed a slip of paper Moxi with an eviction norive
Moxi just melted and slowly went to pack a few things. But stopped and angrily whipped around.

"Damn it! He can't just evict me without notice! What the hell is he thinking?" she screeched out and lunged toward the stallion. Being drunk she missed completely and face planted onto the floor.

"Miss Moonlight, he's sent notices for two weeks and he's given you ample time and more than most; but it's time to pay the debt in full or get out." Moxi retreated into the house and Moonlight Spell and and Stormlight were terrified as Moxi slugged six shots of whiskey and snorted more cocaine. The stallion and Ire had walked a short distance away.

"Look sir, is there a way I can meet your boss and make a deal with him? I can pay her debt to him. I know that's not how it's normally done, but please my friend is struggling."

"My boss might ease the debt for your flank."

"Look you empty headed idiotic moron! You tell me how much she owes and I don't have to report you for sexual harassment."

"Moxi owes six hundred thousand bits in back debt and there's no way you'd pay that much for an alcoholic druggy mare. Are you nobility or rich? Why I is because they're the only ones who can drop that amount with ease."

"I am a daughter of nobility, that doesn't really matter. All I care about is making sure Moxi doesn't lose the house. Tell your boss Ire called her parents to let them know that her account was about to take a substantial hit, and she wrote out a check for the amount of bits owed. As she was walking back to the house to check on Moxi and she noticed a griffin and an earth pony; the griffin smirked as he and his companion walked off down a side street.

Once Ire re-entered Moxi's home, she saw Writer and Stormlight pinning Moxi to a couch as Moonlight threw pills into the sink and several bottles of alcohol down the sink drain. Moxi was had decent strength and Writer and Stormlight were struggling, Windy was nowhere to be seen. The pegasus appeared and in her hooves was a folder. "Here's everything about Moxi, now Moxi please tell us what event in your life that caused the drugs and alcoholism?"

"No Windy!!!!!! I fucking won't relive that night, I still have nightmares about it."

"C'mon Moxi let us help...does it involve why a stallion and griffin would sit across the street and watch your house?"

"Wait a moment Ire...that was specific. You saw them didn't you?" After a brief description, Moxi became visibly depressed and had a shattered look in her eye. She began to sob. "I've tried to outrun and disappear from thst stallion! He keeps finding me. That is my brother Ash, I....I hate him, he failed me when I needed him most."

The others signaled for Ire to do the talking. "What had he done?" Ire decided to soften her tone and demeanor because her usual ire wasn't gonna help amyhring.

"Well, Ire growing up he hated me. He wanted a brother and he got me, so he would bully me when our parents weren't around and he would also....makes me sick to say it but he'd touch me places and a few times would sneak into my room and get in bed with me. As we got older he let his friends put their hooves on me. During Highschool I got into the school's skate team and that was a pretty safe place over all. College was absolute hell. The skate team captain in college had me hazed into the team; Graphite, he's a griffin and he and all the males of the team took turns using me and the females as well. Then I had a party that fateful night, I was drunk and didn't realize I had been drugged, I passed out and woke to being raped by several stallions, Graphite and my brother. Once the others left and the party ended, Graphite raped me again, then Ash joined him in an unwanted three-some. Since then I haven't been able to hold a job for very long. Now you know what happened to me. The injuries were from Graphite and Ash when when I would pleasure them any more and I fought back."

Writer and Windy took off to hunt the perpetrators down. Moonlight and Stormlight left because they had some things to take care of. Ire stayed with the little purple mare with the prosthetic leg and adorable eye patch.

Justice

Writer Rhyme and Windy Breeze walked up to a house, where they expected to find their prey. They knocked and a griffin answered and after asking to step inside they cut to the chase. "We're here because a friend of ours was hurt by you, you might know her. Her name was Moxi Moonlight, a roller-skater know for her speed. We just heard how you and her brother and your friend Ash had abused her. Now tell me why I should shrug this traumatic event off." Ash made an appearance and he froze when he heard why the pair were there. The duo began to make pleas for mercy, Writer and Windy glared, they were soon joined by Moonlight Spell.

Ash Spoke first, "Please don't hurt me! It was all Graphite's idea, I swear."

Windy Breeze spoke calmly and it was terrifying. “Why are you crying? Why are you even begging? Wasn't this the way your friends treat your sister? Hasn't your carelessness caused her all the pains she has today? Why are you even her brother?"

Writer screamed, "Why? Why? Why? You shouldn't even be born. Your duty as a brother was to protect her, you just practically pimped her out. You should go and die! Die, die, DIE!”

Moonlight Spell spoke, "You Ash should be locked in a psychiatric ward, I know of a few thanks to an interview I had with Princess Celestia." Moonlight and Windy turned and walked out and paused as Graphite blurted.

"Moxi knew what was going down, that little whore isn't so innocent."

The others exited and Moonlight turned her head, "Graphite, you abused power and authority, she was only seventeen and naive; you stole her innocence. We have to go and help a friend save a life you ruined. 'Nice' knowing your existence was wasted."

Writer waited until he knew his friends were gone, he then went to town. He broke Ash's back legs so he couldn't run, he used his magic to break Graphite's wings. He then used his magic to soundproof the house and to suppress victims' voices, he could hear the plea and beg but their voices would never make it out of the house. He looked in the kitchen and found a small paring knife and gently set to work singing a lullaby. Graphite's death was slow and painful, Writer preserved every piece of flesh and decided to chat with his victim.

"You know Graphite, coming back to the city to rape your victim again was dumb, the last time you almost killed her. Broken leg and ruining her left eye was bad enough, along with the broken ribs; but breaking her spirit and your hazing methods were grotesque, what was she supposed to do? After that night she turned to drugs and alcohol to numb her shame."

"She felt great, especially when she tried to get away" Graphite laughed as he remembered that night, "she begged and pleaded but I got quite in a fun way. I have no remorse, I just wish I could do her again." Even in his pain, Writer was ticked that Graphite wanted to relive his crimes. He was getting bored and he finished off Graphite with a sledgehammer he had found in the basement.

Ash

Writer went for Ash, he was going to make him hurt. "Ash, your little sister told us how she wanted to have fun memories like other fillies had playing with their brothers but you were too busy impregnating your mare friends and dumping them to care and help nurture her. She even told us about times you molested her and paid to keep her quiet. I must admit, I almost wish she was here to put you and Graphite on ice, but she is having to recover from a drug OD and mixing drugs with booze. I'm going to do you as slowly as I can because you failed your sister when she needed you. I think this....letter opener once I put an edge to it will suffice."

Ash was begging and pleading and saying that he was 'sorry'. But all the while was saying everything he did to Moxi. Writer wished he didn't hear all of the details. After sixteen hours he stopped to eat some food and drink a couple of sodas. Setting to work again, he went slowly.

It was now thirty hours and he looked at his handiwork. It was a mess but he used Ash's cellphone to call for a cleaning service. He made sure he left no DNA and went home to clean up. After cleaning up he went to Moxi's home to check up on the group and let Moxi know that she was now safe. He felt no remorse for heinous acts, creatures like that weren't fit to live and breathe. Especially those who would let their sisters get hurt and then join in their pain.

He felt happy to see Moxi looking premier than when he saw her last. He joyfully let her know she was safe, but Moxi gave him a look of slight concern, but she did her best to pull them into a group hug. Ire feigned that she didn't like it but Writer could tell that she did and
he mouthed a snarky remark and she hoofed his abdomen.

The Silver Lining

It had been roughly thirty-four hours and Moxi was agitated and bitchy. Her system was screaming for Booz and drugs and Ire wouldn't let her go get more. Ire had to clean up after Moxi whenever the latter puked, Moxi also had gotten violent, Ire struggled to keep Moxi from killing herself or her for that matter. The others would drop in...cautiously.

Moxi also got real jittery and had a couple of minor seizures. As the week dragged on, Moxi got more desperate. She would try to sneak out at night and acquire more of her painkillers and more Booz; each time Ire caught her.

Moxi would spend hours telling Ire she wasn't worth the trouble, on one occasion Moxi tried to drop a plugged-in mane dryer into a bathtub filled with water. Ire was getting scared, the latter had to install locks on the flatware drawers and kitchen cabinets. It got so bad that Stormlight and Moonlight Spell had to stay at the house to keep tabs on Moxi. Moxi had gotten so violent that she gave her three protectors and saviors a hefty pounding. When the dawn came, Moxi saw Ire and the others in a state that cued Moxi that there was a brawl. For the First time, Moxi was her normal cheerful self like she had been five years ago. Moxi, the poor thing remembered everything that had gone down and she sat sullen and depressed. She had caused a ton of damage, Ire was glaring through a black eye and at the same time had a slight hint of a smirk.

Ire could tell that the worst was behind them and Moxi was seeming like a level-headed mare.

"Morning Moxi, how are ya?"

"Doing okay...I guess, I just beat up three ponies who tried and managed to succeed in keeping me alive, I have no idea why though. It pains me to know I caused your injuries, all I got to say is; Thanks to you guys for not leaving me....where are Windy and Writer?"

"They had business to tend to for a few days. You should rest, your system hasn't fully recovered yet."

A smirking Moxi retorted, "Yes mother", Ire rolled her eyes and flicked up a magazine, and chased Moxi to her room. The others showed up, Writer and Windy were wondering if they should tell Moxi where they'd been. The news would be put in print by morning so they called a meeting. Writer pulled Moxi into a hug and told her that he had some news. Even in the aftermath, Writer has not fully recovered from the crime he committed, leaving signs that he is the perpetrator.
Writer Rhyme told Moxi that her brother and Graphite, and a slight cackle as he gave her a warm hug and told her, “Don't worry. They will never hurt you again”.

Moxi pulled back and didn't want to ask what he meant, her gut was telling her that justice was served somehow. After a few more weeks, she prepared to enter a skate race. Moxi was afraid to race Sunny, that young mare was fast and had four good legs. When the race came, a week before, Ire and the others had a business trip to tend to. So Moxi was alone warming up for the race.

"It's an honor to race with you Moxi" Sunny said as she stretched. Moxi nervously nodded as made sure her leg would stay secure.

The Race

Moxi lined up with the other skaters, the horn sounded, and they were off. The skaters had to complete ten laps and the outside of the oval had a fifteen-degree bank. On lap three Moxi tripped and watched the other skaters pull ahead. "Mares and Gentlecolts, it looks like Moxi is throwing in the towel." The announcer rattled on and Moxi felt like giving up.

Ire and the others made it back from their trip early and the others went and sat down. Ire told the others she had something to tend. Moxi had slowed her speed, she was in no way gonna win the event. As Moxi was about to roll off the track a familiar voice was heard from the speakers. "Moxi, I didn't pay one thousand one hundred forty bits to see ya quit! Give it your best moron!" Moxi glared daggers at the announcer's block, she saw Ire smirking at her. Somewhere close to the track wall she heard Moonlight Spell screaming something. Finding confidence in knowing she had friends there cheering her on she hit the wooden planked track with the speed that Rainbow Dash would say was awesome.

Moonlight and Stormlight were making a mess of their popcorn and while Writer wasn't looking, Ire stole a hooful of popcorn from him. Sunny and Moxi were neck to neck and Moxi slowed and fell in behind Sunny. On the last lap and just thirty feet from the finish line, Moxi pulled alongside Sunny and pulled ahead, and covered the distance in just four seconds.

Once Moxi had her winner's pictures taken, a surprise bonus lap was called and Moxi was at the starting line and she was joined by, Spitfire, Rainbow Dash, Lightning Dust, and Soarin; the horn was blown and the five racers were off. Moxi had left Soarin in her dust and she peeled past Lightning Dust and Spitfire. She and Rainbow Dash were neck and neck, Dash began to use her wings for stability. Moxi barely beat Rainbow Dash but just a thousandth of a second.

Moxi rolled over and hugged her friends, Ire tried to aft like she didn't like the gesture but her smirk said otherwise. Moxi finally felt like she was worth something and was wanted. For kicks, she gave Ire a boop on her nose and smirking realized that Stormlight blushed slightly and Writer had a slightly jealous look on his face. Moonlight Spell was clueless through it all. Moxi and her friends went to get coffee, and Moxi decided to try to get her old job if it were even possible.
