Tales of Friendship

"Isn't this exciting? Are you excited 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited— well, except for the time that I saw you walking into our room and I gasped, but I mean really, who can top that?" PInkie Pie exclaimed.

Pinkie Pie had forced Twilight into seeing the flight race, convincing her, that'll "it'll be fun" and "she'll that make sure of it". Of course, Twilight was not convinced by Pinkie, but she decided to come anyway to not upset Pinkie. The words she heard in her dream was still bugging her, after all. "Keep your friends close." What did that mean? Was this what the voice meant by friends? If so, she must delusional. Friends? Pinkie Pie? Didn't seem like so. However, her train of thought was blocked by the announcer.

"Mares and stallions! Today's the day for Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Minds' first flight race!" the announcer cheered. The crowd soon followed.

"The flight race is one of the most well-respected pegasi traditions. So, its expected that it would pass on to this very school!"

"So, without further ado, let's begin our race!" the announcer exclaimed. The crowd cheered on.

"Ready..."

A sudden swarm of anticipation fell on Twilight. She closed a book she was holding to entertain herself, noticing the multiple kinds of racers. The one that stood out the most, though, was a mare with a rainbow mane and cyan coat. She was wearing a suit that was way too tight for her, indicating that it may be some kind of safety issue.

"Set..."

Twilight felt a sudden feeling of excitement rush on Twilight. She was determined to see the race.

"See, now you're getting it!" Pinkie exclaimed. She was right... for once.

"Go!"

The racers flew out the gate. Literally. The rainbow mare in particular was getting ahead over the others. She was going too quick. Twilight made some quick calculations in her head, and if she was correct, and lets be honest, she probably is, one collision could be fatal for the rainbow mare.

A few minutes later, her fear came true. Veered off course by another racer, the rainbow mare had accidentally hit one of the stands and fell. Twilight ran some calculations in her head again, the quick acceleration change, which body part she should probably check, and more. After the race, she confronted the rainbow mare.

“Uh… hello!” Twilight said, approaching the mare in question.

“What do you want?”

“Well, I saw your crash earlier, and I’m just giving you some advice. You should really get your head checked out. I ran some calculations in my head, and that crash could give you some internal damage in your head. You should check it out on a doct-“

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. I’ll go to the doctor, just leave me alone, will ya?”

“Okay… it was nice meeting you, I’m Twilight Sparkle, and you are?”

“Rainbow Dash. Now leave me alone!”

“Okay…” Twilight said, slowly walking away from the pegasus. She fled the scene later.
