Formula 1 Anon - Chapter 28
 
 
 
 
 
>At certain times in your life, you make predictions about the future. Some good, some bad.
>Today is one of those days where you hope that you're right about one thing and wrong about another. Objective for today? Get Spitfires F1 super-licence back.
>The one thing you're hoping doesn't happen? That Lightning Dust doesn't get in your way.
>There is about a 90% possibility that she will be waiting around the area to prevent any interference of the hearing. Which is why your teammate/girlfriend is tagging along with you. Just in case.
>It's only a 30 minute train ride from Ponyville to Canterlot. 5 minutes out, sitting at a table, Rainbow and yourself discuss the 'operation' for today.
>"Where do you think Dust gonna put herself?" Dash asks.
"She could be anywhere in that building. Which means we need to stay alert."
>Dash nods in agreement.
"If she sees either of us well before we get to that court room, we're gonna have a problem."
>"Got it. You have no need to worry Anon. I'm pretty good at sneaking around unseen." Dash says pointing a hoof to herself.
"That's the thing, I'm not. So you need take point and scout out ahead."
>"Easy peasy."
>This... might actually work out.
>Yeah, you probably would not be able to do this yourself. You're good at driving, not covert operations.
>Having one of the Elements of Harmony as a girlfriend definitely has it's perks.
 
>Sensing the deceleration of the train, you look out the window. There it is, Canterlot.
 
>Something else also catches your eye. Off in the distance past the castle and slightly below the mountain, lies a vast construction site.
"Rainbow. Look" you say, pointing out the window.
>She looks out and says "Woah. Is that what I think it is?"
"I think so." You look to Rainbow. "That's a new circuit!"
>The twisty ribbon of tarmac gleams bright against the rising Equestrian sun. The shape of it, again, looks delightfully familiar.
>Taking another track from your home world again it looks like. Celestia has either knowingly or unknowingly re-created Circuit de Catalyuna. A track located in Barcelona, Spain. Aw yeah.
"That means more races for next season. Which also means..."
>Rainbow looks to you with a raised eyebrow. "What?"
"Defending your championship next season is gonna be a little more difficult."
>"I haven't won yet though."
"Oh come on. You've got this season in the bag."
>"Nope. Shut up. Don't say shit like that."
>The fuck?
"What? Why?"
>Dash points her hoof at you "You're gonna jinx me. So shut up. Loser."
>She smirks with that last remark.
"Whatever. Didn't take you for the superstitious type."
>"You obviously haven't been in Equestria long enough." Dash says, shaking her head.
>The train stops and the doors open. The both of you start to make your way to the F1 Court of Appeals building.
>Time to get this show on the road.
 
-----
 
 
"There it is." You state. Rainbow Dash looking from behind you.
>The Court of Appeals building is just down the road from your position. Both you and Dash are snooping behind a corner building looking for anyone of importance.
>"Where are they?" Dash asks. Referring to the Wonderbolts.
"They might already be in- Nope. There they are."
>Both drivers and their chief walk up the stairs into the main entrance of the facility. Dash and yourself stay back however. Gotta be cautious about this. Lightning Dust could be anywhere.
>Rainbow checks behind you. "No sign of her from where we came."
"Good. I don't see her over here though."
>A few more minutes of snooping and, finally, good ol Lightning Dust makes her appearance. Shes looking around frantically, making sure she isn't being followed.
>Too bad ya little shit. We're right on your tail.
 
>Dust enters the main entrance to the building. That's when you and Dash make your move.
"Go."
>Rainbow and yourself fly/jog over to the stairs leading to the entrance. The doors to the facility are all glass, so you both get to where only your heads are peeking over the top of the stairs, looking in.
>Dust casually strolls towards the entrance to the courtroom where the appeal is being heard. You keep your eyes on her. That is, until she starts turning around.
"Shit! Duck!"
>Quickly kneeling down, you both stay out of sight. Not wanting to risk her seeing you, you refrain from going back up.
>"Okay. Now what?" Dash asks. "The damn courtroom is right there. We can't go in this way."
"I think there might be a rear entrance. Lets go." you say making your way back down the stairs.
>"Alright. Right behind you." Dash says, following your lead.
 
 
>Luckily for you, there was a rear entrance to the building. Time to go full on stealth mode.
"Dash, take point." you say pointing down the short hallway.
>"Roger that" She says.
>Dash gets as low to the ground as she can, sneaking around each corner heading for the location of the court room.
>"This hallway is clear, come on." Dash whispers. Only a few more hallways to go.
 
>Next one, clear. The one after that? NOPE. Looks like you've arrived.
 
>It was obvious that it wasn't clear when Dash went from sneaking forward around a corner to immediate retreat sneaking. It was kinda funny to see.
>"Yeah shes right there." Dash tells you with her back against the wall.
"Alright. Welp. Is there anyway to get around her?"
>"No" Rainbow says with dissapointment. "Shes got that hallway locked down."
>Fucking fuck. Now what?
>"I don't know what to do Anon." Dash states looking at you, worried.
>You exhale. There is not much time left you feel. They could deny that appeal at any second.
>Fuck, you have to do something. You have to do something now.
"We're gonna have to confront her."
>"Fuck." Says Rainbow. "Alright. I'll go first."
"Good luck." You say as Dash readies herself.
 
>Here we go.
 
>Dash jumps out into the hallway ready to exclaim something to the seafoam green pony down the hall. She stops herself from saying anything however as she sees Lightning put her head against the door of the courtroom, looking away from your position, hoof on the door handle.
>A confused Rainbow just watches her with her head tilted to one side. This gains your attention and you peek around the corner.
"What the hell is she doing?" You whisper quietly to Rainbow.
>"I'm... not sure." she whispers back.
>Just then. Lightning Dust does something that takes the both of you by surprise. She opens the door to the courtroom and exclaims. "Hold on! I have some news regarding Anonymous!"
>Wut.
>Rainbow and yourself look to one another in shocked confusion. As the courtroom door slams shut, you both dash over to the court entrance.
>"Why did she go in there? What the fuck is this cunt trying to pull?" An irritated Rainbow asks as you both put your ears to the door.
>It's faint, but you can hear somepony say "Why are you here Lightning Dust?"
>"That sounded like Fleetfoot." Dash states.
"Hang on, listen." you interject.
>The next thing you hear makes your blood start to boil.
>Lightning continues "I heard something unfortunate. Anonymous' recovery isn't going well. It's looking like he might not ever race again."
>"WHAT!?" Dash exclaims. This fucking blonde maned pegasus is more desperate than you imagined. Good fuck. She just shot herself in the hoof pretty much.
>Dash's outburst also broke the stealth silence you guys had. You might as well go on in now. Everyone in that courtroom knows someone else is behind the door.
>You look to Dash, the both of you nod to one another, and you open the door.
 
 
"That is, by far, the biggest lie I have ever heard in my life!"
 
 
>Multiple gasps and a few "Woah!"s are heard after you make your entrance. Your name whispered by many in attendance.
>You can hear Spitfire breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Rest easy Wonderbolt, you got this.
 
>Walking up to the middle of the isle, directing your gaze to Celestia herself sitting at the judges bench with Luna sitting next to her, you finally make your case. Rainbow hovering by your side.
 
"There is nothing wrong with me, I am alive and well your honor. I can't drive next week at Ponyville, no. But, I will recover fully in due time. Contrary to what Lightning Dust here just proclaimed"
 
>You look over to Spitfire and give a reassuring wink. She, in turn, gives one right back.
>Dust just stares at you dumbfounded, watching her F1 hopes get whittled away.
 
"Spitfire does not deserve to have her racing license revoked because of this accident. No one ever should deserve this. These penalties you are giving out are simply outrageous Celestia. Excuse me for my informal speech here but this is ridiculous!"
 
>More whispers can be heard throughout the crowd attending the hearing, surprised at how up front you are with the princess.
>Celestia raises her eyebrows surprised. For one, to see you standing here, and two, for calling her out on what she thought were justified penalties. From the way it looks though, she is allowing you to continue. Which is an opportunity you take.
 
"It was never this bad back home. No one ever got permanently banned from racing for causing an accident as minor as mine was. Accidents happen, there is nothing you can do to control that. Banning drivers for it will just dissolve the sport away until you have no drivers left to compete."
 
>Celestia then has a look of sudden realization at what events this penalty may put in place. Formula 1 may just disappear as quickly as it arrived.
 
"So, I will ask you this."
 
>"Go on." Celestia states.
 
"Please grant Wonderbolts Racing's appeal. At least for the integrity of this sport. This coming from the driver who was wrecked out."
 
>Celestia looks down in thought. The entire courtroom, you, Dash, The Wonderbolts, Dust, and all of the attendees stare at her in anticipation.
 
...
...
...
 
>Come on Tia, please.
 
...
...
...
 
>She looks over to Luna. They talk to one another out of audible range of you.
>After a few more moments, she turns back, her magic holding a gavel in the air.
 
>"We have made a decision." Celesta states.
>Fuck, this is it.
 
...
 
>"We will grant the appeal from Wonderbolts Racing. Spitfire is hereby awarded back her racing license and all fines are to be revoked."
*WHACK*

>Thank fucking fuck.
>Most of the attendees and the Wonderbolts cheer at this decision. You look up into the air and give a huge sigh of relief as Rainbow hugs your neck and kisses your cheek.
 
>Crisis averted. Mission accomplished!
 
>Lightning Dust just walks away out of the courtroom. Her plan having backfired, she just silently heads home. As she should, quite honestly.
>Wonderbolts Racing walk over to you. Spitfire does all she can to keep from hugging you in front of Rainbow Dash. She does however, give you a firm handshake. As do Soarin and Fleetfoot.
>"I can't thank you enough Anonymous." Spitfire states. "I felt horrible for putting you in the hospital. I don't even know what to say; you helped me more than I could ever help you."
"Like I said Spitfire. Accidents happen. I couldn't stand to see you get banned for this. Plus the fact that..."
>You look behind you to see if Dust is still here, and shes not. Good.
"Getting somepony like Lightning Dust to replace you was the worst idea imaginable!"
>"I told you!" Soarin exclaims to Spitfire, throwing his hooves forward.
>"I know, I know. I couldn't think straight this whole week." Spitfire exhales, like she just let a load off her shoulders. "I need a breather. Lets go outside and get some fresh air."
>"How about we all go to this fantastic restaurant I read about a few blocks down the road. My treat, as a thank you." Says Soarin.
>Dash exclaims "Im down for that!"
"Yeah, that sounds great!"
>"Let's go then! Im starving." Fleetfoot states.
>The five of you exit the courtroom, heading outside towards a celebratory feast. Fuck yeah.

"I find that hilarious though." you say, lying on your back, staring up to the stars in the night sky.
>Lying next to you, Dash asks "You find what hilarious?"
"The fact that on Sunday you were all 'fuck Spitfire' and shit. Then they got Dust to replace her and you pulled a full on 180 like 'NOPE'."
>"Dude." Says Dash, laughing. "Anyone who knows Dust would have crapped themselves if they saw her get into a car!"
>This elicits a laugh out of you, which makes Rainbow laugh even more.
>"I would much rather take Spitfire over her any day." Dash continues.
 
>The fire you made softly illuminates the library behind you. Dash and yourself get closer to one another staring up at the star drenched sky.
 
"It's a beautiful night tonight."
>"Yeah. It is isn't it?" Dash says, laying her head on your shoulder.
"Almost as beautiful as you."
>"Okay, You stop that right now." Dash says jabbing a hoof into your side.
"Heh, and why should I?"
>"Were not inside. Others can see us, and you talking like that makes it pretty hard for me to control myself." Dash says, resting a hoof on your chest.
"I guess we wouldn't want you to lose control eh?"
>"I am for your eyes only Anon. No one else."
>Fair enough.
>As a small shooting star streaks across the sky, you look to Rainbow and say.
 
"Do we have to stay out here?"
 
>Dash then flips over, looks at you with those bedroom eyes and says "No. We don't."
>You motion your head toward the library, as if to say "well, come on."
>She then asks "Think you've recovered enough to where you can actually be involved in it this time?"
"I think I can manage." You state.
>With that, Dash jumps up into the air grabbing your hand. Forcing you to get up.
>"Lets go then!" an excited Rainbow states as she opens the door and drags you back into the library.
 
>The door closes with you two heading towards your bedroom. The fire outside just now burning out, but the one inside, igniting.
