[Early in the day, people throughout the village might spot a suspicious rainbow streak jetting upwards into the sky. Higher and higher and higher she flies... Until, suddenly, that rainbow streak is rapidly plummeting down, faster and faster until there's a resounding CRASH!

Oh, was that your house she bumped into? Maybe your garden? Business? Whatever the case, there will be a few of these ridiculous crashes until Rainbow, being the stubborn pegasus that she is, moves onto plan B.

A bit later, something a little strange will appear... a cloud floating around the village. Now, seeing clouds in the sky isn't all that abnormal. Just another part of everyday weather.

But what about clouds that float ridiculously close to rooftops? Clouds that hover suspiciously over buildings, people, and are isolated from the others? Tiny clouds that, if one looks close enough, they may catch a bit of a rainbow fringe, sometimes a pair of binoculars, over the edge of the fluffy white stuff.

That's right. This cloud is spying on you strange people. ...Or whatever's up in the cloud, anyway.

Feel free to witness either event-- Dash's crash landings from the lovely barrier or her recon mission.]

[She's getting ready...

She's set!

And when it's time to take off, she'll be rolling around at the speed of sound.

Despite being a quadruped, she's pretty good at it. Blame cartoon logic.]

[Eggman gets in a ready position for some world-class skipping.] Get set! [He eyes the finish line, places to go, got to win race with Rainbow.]

GO!

[Eggman launches himself into a fine skip, frolicking at top speed towards the goal. He's actually surprisingly athletic with it too, and is even enjoying himself. Skipping is fun!]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Pfff. Meanwhile, Dash is wheeling along. It's probably weird to see because she's a pony, but she manages just fine. Very speedy, too!]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

You're no match for me! [Eggman makes an extra effort to skip ahead of Rainbow Dash, laughing evilly as he does so and wasting precious breath.

With all this extra effort to be smug, Eggman is sure to screw up. But it's not exactly the longest race. Will he make it?]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Wow, for such a round guy, he's pretty quick. Clearly, she's going too easy on him.

So what's she gonna do? Double her speed! Who cares if she gets dizzy? She's not gonna lose to some... Egg-man!]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

[Eggman fumes as he lags behind, not wanting to lose to some pony. But they're so close to the end, if he just makes the extra effort now he can easily pass his opponent and skip to victory!

But instead, Eggman trips over, sending himself flying through the air. On landing he does an accidental, sort-of-impressive somersault of his own, before landing painfully flat on his face.]

Gaaaaaah- Oof! [He's just going to twitch there for a few moments, in pain and shame.]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[See, as soon as Eggman trips, Rainbow Dash starts laughing.

While speeding up her cartwheeling. She's so distracted that she's not really paying attention to where she's going annnnd--



Yep. Seems she crashed right into one of the stores.]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

[Eggman sees Rainbow Dash's rainbow crash from where he's lying. That looks painful! It's his duty as a human being to get up and help her out.

So Eggman scrambles to his feet and, despite being in pain, heroically skips towards the restaurant in order to win the race.]

Ha haaa!

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Laugh it up, Egghead!

[But all bets are off. After shaking herself off, Dash leans back for a split second and then rushes towards the restaurant, doing some crazy... air-somersaults.

It's definitely weird.]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

Oh no you don't! [Eggman spots Rainbow approaching out of the corner of his eye and tries his best to speed up, tearing up a little from the pain. Also, sweating. Ew!

And it's a photo finish! Because I don't want to lose that horrible crash totally gave Eggman a chance. But with things so close who is the winner? Eggman... seems to think it's him, judging by the little dance he's doing now while laughing maniacally.]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Yeah well, whatever. Rainbow Dash groans and land after flying some speedy circles around him.]

You only won because I went easy on you.

[And crashed.]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

Ba ha ha ha! More fool you, then! Victory is mine! I'm the champion!

[Just gonna taunt and point and dance at you now, Rainbow Dash.]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up.

[Eyeroll.]

But I bet you couldn't pull off a Sonic Rainboom.

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

Ho ho ho! Now there's one challenge I won't step up to! [Eggman finally stops his victory dancing. Well done.] "Sonic" type moves aren't exactly my forte!

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Hah! I knew it. There's no way you could really take me on.

[Hubris, so much hubris. Dash flicks one of her hooves in a sort of dismissive gesture, looking totally smug again.]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I believe I just did. And I kicked your ass, too, if you'll pardon the pun.

A silly contest, perhaps, but a win is a win!

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

That pun might work, if I was a donkey.

[But she's a pony. Ponies are totally cooler.]

Anyway, it's just one win.

I just want to conclude this thread because it is win

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

[Well, Eggman sure thinks you look like a donkey right now.]

One more win than you, I might add! Ba ha ha ha! One-nil to the Eggman! [And with that, Eggman merrily turns to leave.] Farewell, Rainbow Donkey!
