>Your first race.
>The racegoers call this section of the city "Olympic Square".
>They say it's appropiate for beginners like you.
>You hop in your car and drive to the start line. Your opponents do the same thing.
>They have a few accesories and other modifications.
>Your car looks brand new, and most of the guys there gave you weird looks and laughed at you and your car.
>Rainbow Dash however, gave you a couple of cheers.
>You studied the route so well and found a couple of shortcuts that may come in handy.
>Everyone seems to be ready.
>A student from your art class named Junebug was surprised to see you. She is the 'flag girl'.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW8WR6J9-Q0
>The other drivers rev up those engines. Because they are sure hungry for some speed.
>Junebug raises her arms and brings them down spontaneously.
>The race begins.
>"You can do it Anon!" Rainbow Dash shouts.
>It's pedal to the metal now.
>Accelerate and steer.
>Your opponents are a bit faster than you.
>Before the race started, Rainbow Dash advised you to do some 'drafting', that way your car would gain some extra speed.
>You follow the Golf in front of you and copy every steer he makes.
>Surprisingly it works! You are going faster each second.
>http://i.imgur.com/ex824iT.jpg
>Then you pass the guy in front of you quite easily.
>The same happens with the other drivers.
>You're embarassing them.
>This car is amazing.
>You should've joined the races earlier.
>Suddenly, you notice a shortcut, so you steer left, and you gain precious seconds.
>You look back on the mirror, only to find that you're the only one driving on this street.
>You pass the start line and go for the next lap.
 
>Be Rainbow Dash.
>And Anon is in first place!
>You can't believe it. His opponents are way behind him.
>It's not about the car, it just seems that Anon is a natural at this.
>Call it a hunch or not, but you did the right choice betting for him.
 
>Be Anon.
>Another lap and you're done.
>Shortcuts and straight lines give you plenty of time.
>It's a good thing that there isn't any traffic around these parts.
>The sensation of speed and avoiding traffic laws is exciting to you.
>That's probably why Rainbow Dash owns that amazing vehicle.
>You should probably trade the Mazda for a faster car like Dash's.
>A couple of minutes later you are almost done.
>There's the finish line.
>You cross it.
>Race over.
>The other drivers eventually arrive.

>Teens gather around your vehicle and begin clapping and cheering.
>You won your first race.
>You exit your vehicle only to be greeted by pats on your back and thumbs up.
>"Not bad for a Rookie..." A guy says.
>"Wow, great job dude, I've never seen a beginner pull this kind of time before..." A member from another crew says.
>Rainbow Dash gets closer.
"Dash!"
>"That...was...AWESOME! You did an excellent time dude! Even with stock parts."
"Thanks Dash."
>Your opponents drive away.
>"Heh, suck it losers!"
>Lightning Dust walks to you.
>"Heeeey Anon. You did it! How does it feel to win your first and I hope -not your last- race?"
"Incredible..."
>Lightning Dust chuckles.
>"Here dude."
>She hands you 375 bucks.
"What's this for?"
>"It's your prize...Duh!"
"Oh...I didn't knew you received actual money for each race..."
>"We have a few You should spend it on your car, you know...visuals, performance...whatever you want!"
"Cool! But...where do you get the money?"
>"Well, only the best racers have sponsors, and most of us have appeared at least once in car magazines, my Sentra has appeared in three different magazines. Dash's Toyota in five!"
>"Pffft...Big deal...I'm just here for the thrill of the races." Rainbow interrupts.
>"This whole thing is about respect and easy money. If you don't have any of those you can kiss your butt goodbye..."
>You gulp.
 
 
>"You're next Rainbow Dash. Teach those punks how Canterlot girls race!"
>"Oh right! I'll be there in a couple of minutes."
>Lightning Dust enters to her car and leaves to the next event.
"What's going on Dash?"
>"Well, you'll get the honor of witnessing a drag race that will have -ehem- ME in it."
"Drag race huh?"
>"Yeah you know...Straight line. Stick shift..."
"Yeah, faster than the other kinds of racing, a bit dangerous too...I'd like to see that."
>"Dangerous?" She chuckles. "Don't make me laugh Anon...Danger IS my middle name...Rainbow 'Danger' Dash...Alright then, follow me..."
>Rainbow enters to her Toyota and you keep close to her.
>A few minutes later you park your car near the finish line and exit your vehicle.
>Rainbow stops next to you and rolls down her window.
>"If you stay here you'll get to see me win dude...I'll be right back..."
>Rainbow rolls up the window and drives to the start line.
"Damn...This is going to be good..."
>You stand in a safe area along with other teenagers waiting for the winner.
>"Anon?...Is that you?"
>That voice...
"Flitter?"
>"ANON!"
>Flitter runs and hugs you.
>You've been pretty close since you took that cooking class together.
>"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I just joined the circuit, Dash introduced me to this gig."
>"Wow. I didn't knew you were interested in street racing! Wait- Don't tell me that you are using your Mazda..."
"Yeah...Is that a bad thing?"
>"Oh no not at all, it's just that...I never thought that you would join to our -hmm- fine sport with your pretty car." Flitter giggles.
"Gee- Thanks Flitter... Don't tell me that you race too..."
>"Me? Oh no no no, I'm a flag girl, my sister is one too!"
"Really? Damn, people in this city have very well hidden secrets..."
>She chuckles.
>"Look Anon! Here they come!"
>You turn your head over your shoulder and see a certain cyan Toyota approaching to the finish line.
 
>"Oh look Anon! Rainbow won again!" Flitter says.
>The crowd gathers near her car and starts cheering.
>That was impressive.
>She arrived to the finish line in less than a minute.
"I can see that...Jeez, she seems too hard to beat."
>"She never loses. Wait...Oh I remember now, she always loses to THAT guy..."
"Someone's better than her? Who?"
>"Flash Sentry...She still insisit that he cheats in all the races they held and-"
"Wait a minute...Flash?! THE Flash Sentry?! King Asshole? Smug Dickhead?"
>"You have issues with him?"
>You sigh.
"Yes..."

>[Red Light.]
>[A huge black Camaro with racing decals parks next to your Mazda.]
>[The window rolls down.]
>[Flash turns his head to look at you, and smirks.]
>["Nice car faggot!"]
>[The traffic light changes to green and he leaves burning tires.]
"And that's what happened."
>"...Seriously?"
"I know right? But...I didn't know that he was also a racer."
>"Uhhh about that...he's the current Champion, and ranked first in Circuit, Sprint and Drag...Look."
>Flitter opens a webpage in her smartphone and shows you a list of ranked racers.
>DRAG: 1.- Flash Sentry, 2.- Rainbow Dash, 3.- Fleetfoot...
>CIRCUIT: 1.- Flash Sentry, 2.- Thunderlane, 3.- Neon Lights...
>SPRINT: 1.- Flash Sentry, 2.- Shining Armor, 3.- Soarin'...
"Hmm...I see...Wait a minute...Twilight's brother races too?"
>"Wha-? Oh no, Not anymore...this is an old list, he had an accident last month. His car was totaled...but he won't say what exactly happened to him..."
"Mmmm...that's weird...I'll ask Twilight later..."
>Rainbow Dash approaches.
>"'Sup Flitter!"
>"Hey Dash, I was teaching some history to Anon about our races."
>"You did? Excellent, it looks like I'll need all the help I can get with him, he asks plenty of questions doesn't he?"
>They both giggle.
>You roll your eyes.
>"So Anon...What do you think? Seeing me arrive in first place?"
"Amazing Dash, you're quite good at this."
>"I know, thanks anyway Anon...Hey Flitter, guess who joined the races and beat everyone's butts in his first race?"
>Flitter looks at you.
>"No way! In that cute Mazda? Awww..."
"I-it's not cute, it's uhh..."
>Flitter giggles.
>"Oh Anon...you look cute in that little car."
>You blush intensly.
>You're 17 years old for Pete's sake. You are no child.
>"Heh, you shoud leave poor -widdle Nonny- alone Flitter." Dash mockingly says.
>Fucking Rainbow Dash.
>"Hey Anon...There's another event for newbies, this time it's a sprint race! Let's get moving!"
"Oh, alright then..."
>[Another race? Damn, you better win this one too...]

>You approach to the start line.
>The other drivers do the same.
>The flag girl raises her arms...
>GO!
>Pedal to the metal.
>It seems that the other drivers are focusing on you.
"SHIT!"
>A Peugeot gets in your lane and brakes.
>You manage to steer to the left and barely pass him.
>It seems that those fuckers are trying to play dirty.
>Well, you don't have to drive clean...
>A Dodge Neon passes you.
>This is your chance!
>You accelerate and hit the Neon from behind.
>Then, you steer to the right and make the opponent's car to lose control.
>The Peugeot crashes with the Neon.
>You smirk and keep up the pace to eventually leave them behind.
>Traffic's a bit light in these parts of the city.
>You avoid a big truck and a taxi.
>The last of your opponents crashes into the truck.
>They seem to be fine, so you continue the race.
>2 minutes later you cross the finish line.
>Damn right.
>After the crowd cheer Dash and Spitfire check on you.
>"Two wins in a row Anon...let's see if you can do better than that..." Spitfire says.
>"Yeah...Hey dude, we should leave...I think we had enough fun for one night..."
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B8HFTSnvjI
>"Shit, Five-O. ALRIGHT GENTS, THAT'S ALL FOR TONIGHT." Spitfire yells and waves her arms in the air.
>Teens start to run away and get in their vehicles.
>"Damnit, Come on Anon, let's get out of here!"
>Dash gets in her Toyota.
>You get in your car and follow her.
 
 
>Sweet Apple Acres.
>"Here we are Anon...My safehouse! What do you think?"
"Applejack's barn?"
>"Applejack's OLD barn...She doesn't use it anymore, cool hiding spot right? Besides, it has plenty of space for your car too!"
"Yeah...I guess."
>"Oh dude, I almost forgot...Don't bring your car to school...That'll attract unwanted attention..."
"...Damn, you're right...Oh well, I guess this is what I get for a night of adventure..."
>Dash puts her jacket on and starts to walk back to her home.
>"I'll see you in the morning dude, rest well..."
"Bye Dash..."
>You're now alone in Applejack's barn, better get comfortable and sit on a hay bale.
>You check your Mazda and Dash's Toyota.
>Dash is right, if she brought her car to school Vice Principal Luna would probably ask her a few questions...
>It seems that you'll have to walk to school from now on.
>...Shit.
>You look at Dash's car.
"Nice..."
>You wish you had good parts for your Mazda.
>Next to that Toyota...your car looks like absolute shit.
>You check your earnings.

"Well I'm not...Dash brought me here..."
>She sits next to you.
>"Yeah...we have a deal, I let her park her car and check if everything's okay...Just for a modic price..."
>You chuckle.
"You just couldn't miss this business opportunity. Right Applejack?"
>She chuckles.

"Gee, thanks Applejack..."
"But, I want to tell you something really important..."
"What is it?"
>"Be careful Sugarcube...Those races are very dangerous...I don't want you to get hurt like Twilight's brother..."
>Oh crap.
"W-what happened?"
>"...I'll let you find that out for yourself...Goodnight sugarcube."
