Once they were inside and isolated from everypony, Ella grabbed on to Electron tightly. "What's the matter with you!?"

As Nighthawk and Microburst were unpacking their stuff, Night noticed something familiar about all of this. He stopped unpacking and looked around the room. Nopony except him and Micro in the room. Room number 156. Back in University, their dormitory number was 156. Microburst was given a key when she moved into there. She was also given the key when it came to this room. Coincidence? Partially. The fact Microburst was given the key was coincidence, but it must have been on purpose for them to be put in 156. He stared at her for a few moments, then spoke up. "Micro, have you noticed our room number yet?" She paused and looked at Nighthawk, with a rather questioning look. Then she too realised and started talking in a quiet manner. "It's the same number as our dorm number in Uni." Nighthawk looked back down at his bag. One last thing to unpack. It was a small framed picture of himself and Microburst, snuggling up to each other. The picture seemed to have been taken on their first night out after they graduated from Uni. Of course, there were less photos on Nighthawk's phone. But it seemed most of those pictures contained just them two on that phone. The other pictures were either digital or actually taken from places he or they'd been. On Microburst phone however, let's just say her gallery covers all the categories.
Back to where we should be. They both picked their phones up from the pile of stuff and put them on the bedside cabinet. Nighthawk then picked up the framed photo and stood it on the bedside cabinet, alongside the phones. He then stood up fully and stretched his furthest. But even though he was slightly tired, he had alot of energy and time to kill before he could sleep. Of course, Microburst continued arranging her stuff. She was soon done though, and she quickly got comfy on the bed. Notice the lack of a plural? Yes. There was only one bed. Things had better keep cool between the two, otherwise one had to leave. As Nighthawk too, had finished packing, he started trotting over towards the door. Taking note of this, Microburst gave one obvious, final question for him to answer. "Where are you off to?" He paused for a second and glanced back at her, then opened his mouth as if to say something, but nothing could come out. "Well?" Eventually, he thought of something to say. "I'm off to go look around." Microburst sighed a little, then added one final thing to the small discussion to end it. "Alright. Don't get lost though. I'm sure you wont though. You seemed to examine everything we went past." He smiled, opened the door then left the room (of course he closed the door afterwards).
((Good luck bro. Also, how can Retro look at the mares through a door and/or a wall? In other news, ha hah, I'm on fire with the long posts today.))

"I'm fieeneeee..." She flops her hooves around.
She looks at herself in the mirror, frightened by the look she had.
She strokes her hair back with her magic mindlessly, then puts her head into one of the sinks, giving up. Cold water runs down her face and she fells better, but she doesn't pull her head back up.
She groans, feeling stupid like she always does. ((Man, electron is more ditzy than I am... Even chaotic))
"I-I can't believe... I f-forgot..." Her voice becomes hoarse, and she manages to say something else.
"...I don't have... A wedding... Dressss...." She pulls herself up from the bowl and her face looks like all her power has been drained.
((She's organised, yet when she is stressed or angry she becomes crazy, like twilight.))
Her face is back to normal except that her expression is almost a tired-content look. "We should go after breakfast..." She says in a tired tone.
"Food..." She grabs Ella's hoof and pulls her out of the bathroom with her, back to the table.
"Haha... I never realised, I'm somewhat similar in nature to Princess Twilight. Organised yet when stressed I become a mess"
She smiles her tired smile again, confusing other ponies about the sudden mood change.
"Ella-" she starts, putting her hoof on the table, "and I are going... Dress shopping" she says, the last word she strains to sound enthusiastic about. " aha... I still don't have a dress?" She asks at no aimed person.
She leans back and studies the confusion on their faces.
"Sorry honey," she says to spark, "retro" she finishes, nodding at him then back to spark.
"Problems..." She brings her hoof back to her then she looks down at the table.
"I'm weird" she starts eating.
#2210
Posted 30 December 2013 - 11:11 PM
She shook her head and began eating. "So... Retro, honey, do you know what you're going to be doing today?" It was a bit obvious that Ella was trying to change the subject from her sisters random outburst.
#2211

"Aside from going to dinner with the four of us plus Story and Racket, I have no other plans." Retro stood up and waited for Spark to join him in getting food.

She nodded as she thought to herself. Wasn't and the name of his little shovel thing. She listening to him intently giving the occasional nod as he talked. When he was done speaking she opened her mouth to speak. "Sounds like you grew through the experience. tell me is Ann still with you. Does she ever speak to you or make her presence known. " She felt a bit like a psychiatrist probing his brain for answers that she knew she couldn't diagnose but it was still nice to talk. She was also trying to delay the inevitable of him asking about her and what she had been up to and where she had gotten the scar, or maybe he didn't care. She kind of hoped for the later.
Will chuckled "Speak to me? thankfully no." he replied with a small smile of relief "It always hurt when she would talk to me." he explained rubbing his head in emphasis. "No I'm just happy the only way she can be expressed is through the skills I gained as a result of the merge" he finished taking another sip of his coffee. "So what about you?" he asked curiously as he gently set his cup back down on the table.

Orbit trotted up the marble staircase, trying to locate where his room was. On normal occasions, he would have chosen a less... flashy hotel to spend the night, but as it turned out, his name was reserved, and in fact had been reserved for quite a while. He felt a pang of guilt for missing the reunion, but he brushed it off. Either way, he would at least make sure the pony who had reserved his room actually spent his money on something worthwhile.
He walked into an elevator, still unsure of the building's layout. He peered at the text on the buttons, and finally decided to press one that didn't look that... formal. It took him straight up, to where a corridor lined by wooden doors. He glanced at his card. 163... was it? The lighting didn't really help much in identifying the rooms, being suited for ambience rather than visiblity, but Orbit finally managed to locate his room, and walk into it, shutting the door behind him.
Indeed, this place was too... expensive for his liking. Like his father, he travelled with no more than what could fit in his saddlebag, which when compared to this, Orbit thought, opening the wardrobe, was pathetically little. How was he even supposed to use this many things?
Finally tiring of the comparisons, Orbit sat on the bed, taking out Muffins and placing him on the bedside table. The disc quickly returned into the parasprite projection it was before, and eyed the pegasus with a curious glance and a chirp. Orbit smiled.
"Well... I suppose we're staying here for the night..." He said, patting the parasprite. "And we've got a chip to return to it's owner, too."
Muffins chirped in response, placing the tiny chip on Orbit's hoof before settling down to glance out the window, content with it's task accomplished.
Orbit stood back up, glancing at the window, then back at the door. "Well, I suppose I should get a better knowledge of the place..." he said, talking to himself, "And perhaps... grab a bite to eat...?"
((Next post will have him at wherever seems convenient to bump into one of you, but feel free to bump into him in the corridors.))
After Orbit had gone inside Al moved away from the front door letting it close behind him, getting into the elevator he pressed the button for his floor and headed down the hall towards the room he shared with William.

She sighed as the question was turned to her. "There's not much to say. Went back to Norneigh was joined by Skye. We became good friends. Moved in together and all that. We joined the Norneighan University of advanced learning. We both joined the flight team. And I got in an accident, I hit another pony mid flight and was knocked out. Fell into a mass of twisted metal and a pole speared into my chest. They had to operate to remove it." She sighed and clopped her hoof on the floor. "Other than that I've been all right."

Will's eyes widened in worry and he winced slightly upon hearing of the accident. But how he thought to himself as his gaze moved slowly downward until it came to rest on the scar. Did it still hurt? Did she have any further problems because of it? These questions continued to circle in his head the longer he looked at the injury. Finally, he tore his eyes away from the scar and looked up into the face of the one he wished he hadn't had to say goodbye to all those years ago. "Does it it still hurt?" he asked eyes still wide with concern.

Moonfire nodded, "Yeah every once in a while when I'm pushing myself to the limit. Or when I hit an updraft while gliding and it bends my wings back." She sighs and swirls the coffee in her cup before looking back up to him. "So what about you? How are you with flying? Did you ever get any better after my lessons?" She forced a smile as she took another sip of coffee.

Before Spark got up, he turned to Electron, "I told you, we have time before the wedding to get everything ready. Please don't stress over this too much." Spark walked with Retro to where the food was."Aside from going to dinner with the four of us plus Story and Racket, I have no other plans." Retro stood up and waited for Spark to join him in getting food.
You're also stressing.
Oh shut up!

Story chuckled. "Yeah, lots of good times and that party and... Some awkward results..." He rubbed a hoof embarrassedly at the back of his head.
He tried to recover with a sip of coffee (black of course). Thoughtfully, he swirled the contents of the mug as he looked into it. "You know, it's kind of a shame the bar isn't open yet... Some cream liquer and whiskey and I'd have a Neighrish coffee..."

Sweet inquires, "What do you mean "Awkward results?"
#2227
Posted 04 January 2014 - 10:28 PM
((You'll do great. Don't worry. <3 ))((Submitted my house today...))
Ella noticed Retro seemed nervous and fidgety. "It's wonderful... Well a bit breezy, but hey it's Manehattan." She finishes her breakfast and wipes her mouth. An audible sigh came out of her as she got up and went to throw away her trash.

Story groaned, "You try waking up the morning after to find out that the pony 'at the controls', so to speak, isn't the same one as the last night. Will forgave me, but I still feel guilty about it." The unicorn couldn't help but awkwardly glance in Will's direction as he spoke. Story was of course grateful that Will forgave him, but still didn't feel quite right. Ann was the one in control of Will's actions at the time, so wasn't responsible for what happened. This just made Story feel like he took advantage of his friend.
"If that moment isn't the single most awkward moment in my entire life, then it's definitely in my top 5."

"Wait, if it's not the most, what could be the top?"

Story flushed, his ears flattened against his head, and he began stammering. He didn't want to speak, but his mouth seemed to form the words of its own accord as his years of experience as a storyteller took over. "W-w-well... I was a f-freshman in high school. I was g-getting out of m-my gym clothes when the h-hoofball team came in from p-practice. They were all sweaty and t-taking their uniforms off a-and I-"
The storyteller finally clamped his muzzle shut as his face went scarlet.

Orbt trotted into the dining hall, still uncomfortable with the layout of the hotel. He had done some walking around yesterday night, to get a feel of the place, but the atmosphere still unsettled him. He glanced down at the ever present saddlebag he lugged around. Muffins would have to stay put for now, at least till he could meet with Al to return the chip.
He shuddered, thinking of the pandemonium that would ensue if the hall suddenly noticed a parasprite among them. Indeed, Muffins was in no position to be brought out.
He glanced around, looking for familliar faces. He reunion had ended days ago, certainly, but judging by the amount of time his room had been reserved- Orbit fought back another shudder, thinking of the cost, the host had evidently planned for an extended party. Not that he knew who the host was, but he had his guesses. It had been such a long time...
Walking to the nearest unoccupied table, Orbit took one final look around. He had arrived late to breakfast, and for good reason. Most of the ponies would have left by now, meaning he could skip the waitig queues. Of course, that meant he had less time to actually eat, but-
Orbit paused, noticing the waiter who had apparently been standing at his table for quite a while, and was staring at him with a puzzled glance. He shook it off with a small smile, gesturing to the menu. Orbit's eyes followed suit-
And he had to stifle a scream as they noticed the prices.
This was going to be a facinating reunion, indeed.

Still red in the face, Story nodded mutely. He didn't trust himself to speak at moment.
However, the little pony in his head was screaming: DEAR CELESTIA, I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT!!!

She sighs and swirls the coffee in her cup before looking back up to him. "So what about you? How are you with flying? Did you ever get any better after my lessons?" She forced a smile as she took another sip of coffee.
Will frowned slightly at her answer If she's still in this much pain then why come here at all? he thought to himself. Raising his mug to his lips once more Will took another sip of his coffee. Then, putting it down, he offered her a pleasant smile, "I did in fact." he answered with a smile. "Although I still wish Al would let me drive though." he said begrudgingly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Al---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was at that moment that the pale gray pony of which Will was referring to had turned the handle and was in the process of entering the room he and William shared. Upon catching his colleagues last few words of complaint, he sighed internally and cleared his throat in preparation to set the record straight. Calmly he turned to addressed his coworker. "William I will have you know that the decision to prohibit you from driving was not my decision alone but rather an agreement between myself and the company heads in response to your past performance behind the wheel of one of our company vehicles." The blond stallion replied in a stern, businesslike, tone.

Deciding it was wisest not to reply, Story picked up his coffee mug in his forehooves and pretended to drink deeply in an effort to cover as much of his face as possible.
Oh sweet merciful Luna, why must I say these things?!I
No answer was forthcoming unless the vague feeling that somepony besides his boyfriend was laughing at him counted. In the end though, he levitated some bits out of his wallet and left it tucked next to a copy of the receipt. Pushing away from the table, Story began to move toward the door.

"I dunno... I don't mind either way..." Story said, pushing the door open with a hoof. "What I'm really curious about is if there's something there we could here traditional Neighponese stories at. As much as I love stories, I don't know too many ones from Neighpon."

The unicorn smiled, "What I mean is somepony at the shrine who tells stories themselves. Somepony who knows all kinds of Shinto tales. Some of the best stories are those that come from other faiths. For example: Have you heard the story of..."
Story Books began to relay a one of the few Shinto tales he knew, featuring the Neighponese version of Celestia, the wolf goddess Amaterasu. In his element, the pony quickly forgot his earlier embarrassment. He was so completely distracted that he didn't notice the edge of the door frame until...
WHAM!!! Pain quickly radiated from the end of Story's horn into his skull. He fell on his rump walleyed and tried to get the license plate of the truck.

"Owwww..." Story moaned. He dizzily held a hoof up to the side of his aching head. "That hurts... Wait, did I just crack my horn?!?!"
Both forehooves sped to the still aching ivory spire and Story was rewarded with another flash of pain. He yelped and tried again more gingerly. After a few seconds of careful examination, the unicorn breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Racket a sheepish grin.
"Guess I should have paid more attention to walking and less to the story."

Orbit poked at his bowl with a fork, watching the cornflakes sink down and bob back up. He did it again, sighing.
Food here costs a fortune, Orbit mentally noted. Who on earth would attend a breakfast that costs 100 bits per pony, buffet or not?
He glanced down at the bowl. Oh, right.
Me.
He prodded the cornflakes again, this time not giving them the chance to float back up. There were other things to try, certainly, but who could even eat so much so early in the day?
Orbit sighed, absent-mindedly eating a spoonful.

Spark thought about it, he didn't really want to, because he also kindove believed what Ella said about seeing the bride in her dress before their wedding day. He did want to be "surprised" by how beautiful electron would look when she came walking down the aisle on their wedding day. "I think I'm just going to stay here... Maybe try and find some others I haven't talked to yet."((Idea.))

She mainly kept her mouth shut as she waited for him to ask another question.
Shooting a disgruntled look in the direction of the white earth pony with a blond mane that had just entered the room, William turned his attention once more back towards Moonfire and grinned at the prospect of flying with her once more. The last time he had flown with her it was during a storm and he was so wrapped up in his worry that his father would come by. The first time he had flown with her however, to him it had been a dream. His misty eyed moment of reminiscence, however, was broken by Al.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Al-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pardon me William but would you mind bringing yourself back to the present for a moment?" the light gray stallion asked in a dignified and businesslike tone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Will-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"W-what?" Will asked starting slightly as he was pulled abruptly back to the present. As he looked bewilderingly between the two his eyes widened as he quickly came to the realization that he had yet to introduce them. "Oh, I almost forgot, Moonfire, this is Al. He works with meat the company." he explained blushing slightly at his error.

The griffon smirks as he twirls the car keys, ​Last night wasn't even pushing it. The griffon, with his daughter in tow, walks over to their frankenstein of a car. "Look's like I'm driving."

Story, in his frantic attempts to escape justice for the whole in the door had been trying fruitlessly to get the door open. Magic and hooves didn't meet with any success. By the time Racket had arrived at the car, the unicorn had the handle clamped in his jaws and was repeatedly jerking his head backward to pull on the handle.

Moonfire was obviously more than displeased at the intrusion regardless of who it was, and her face showed it. It went from happy and reminiscent to dark and cold as if she wanted to trample the intruder. She took a deep breath in through her nose and out through her mouth and stood up walking over to the earth pony and extended a hoof. "Pleased to meet you Al" This of coarse was a lie and she hoped her go to hell look wouldn't give her away or perhaps show the new comer how he was being rude by interrupting and she wanted to buck his teeth in for it. She turned back to Will for a moment and bent down giving him a kiss on the jawline. "I'm in the room about six down from here. I look forward to flying with you." She smiled and dropped the rooms number on the table. Moonfire turned to walk down the hall pushing roughly past Al. As she did so a particularly long white feather fell from her wing. Much like the one she had given him years ago. Only this one looked less pretty than the old. She obviously hadn't taken care of herself as well as she used to.

"Less talking, more driving!" Story replied as he clambered into the passenger seat. "I just know that those door frames are going to be a ridiculous amount of bits to fix and I want to be out of here so I've got time to think about how exactly I'm covering the cost!" \
As an after thought, Story peered into the back seat to Sweet, "Honey, I'm going exactly the wrong way about this. Do as I say, not as I do."

Story cringed guiltily. "I'll pay to fix the frame when we get back... I just... think they should have a little time to cool off before I talk to them is all..." He glanced back to the hotel entrance and sighed.
"You know what? You're right. Do you mind waiting for a few minutes while I go in and deal with this?"

Story nodded and took a readying breath. He climbed out of the car and walked steadily to the hotel and in through the door. Going up to the front desk, he rang the bell on the counter. Once the pony behind the counter came up and greeted him, he spoke.
"Yes, I've mistakenly put a hole in your doorframe there. I was walking along, caught up in a story I was telling and not paying any attention to where I was going when I ran straight into the frame. I... uh... I ended up punching a hole through it with my horn."
((For the sake of keeping things a little more spontaneous and interesting, does somebody else want to play the part of the clerk for this interaction?))
((Colgate, would you mind holding back? A chance to respond with someone using a different writing style would be intriguing for me.))

After a seemingly long time, Nighthawk started wandering around a little, as he originally intended. Now that he wasn't being controlled, he could go places 'n' stuff, which is usually good. Only issue was, he needed to remember all of this in the event that either Micro or himself might get lost in the decorated jungle; which if you hadn't noticed, was the reason he was trying to observe every detail when he first got here. He trotted back the way he came, which was from the elevator. Surprisingly, it wasn't actually as far away as he thought it was. Anyways. He had to call the elevator back, since it had apparently been used whilst he was unpacking. As a little joke, he whispered to himself as he waited. "How dareth thy peasants use my elevator"
Soon enough, the lift doors opened and he stepped inside. He memorized his floor number, closed his eyes and pressed a random button. It came out as floor number 6, which was two floors up. Thankfully, this trip didn't make him want to boke his intestines out. He was surprised himself that he didn't choose the stairs though. Eventually, and of course, the elevator grinded to a halt (but not literally) at the floor he was after. Seeing as most of the ponies at his Uni were here at the hotel, he might bump into one of them.
((Nighthawk is open for interaction, if anyone is on the same floor as him.))

Story made his way out to the parking lot and to the station wagon. He climbed into the passenger seat and began buckling himself back in.
"Well, I've taken care of it. The damages will be added to our bill. You'll be happy to know that it won't cost as much as we were afraid of." He supplied the number in question.

Moonfire was obviously more than displeased at the intrusion regardless of who it was, and her face showed it. It went from happy and reminiscent to dark and cold as if she wanted to trample the intruder. She took a deep breath in through her nose and out through her mouth and stood up walking over to the earth pony and extended a hoof. "Pleased to meet you Al" This of coarse was a lie and she hoped her go to hell look wouldn't give her away or perhaps show the new comer how he was being rude by interrupting and she wanted to buck his teeth in for it.
Taking note of here facial expression Al never the less smiled pleasantly as he accepted her hoof, "Et glede å møte deg så vel min kjære." he replied in a polite tone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Will----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She turned back to Will for a moment and bent down giving him a kiss on the jawline. "I'm in the room about six down from here. I look forward to flying with you." She smiled and dropped the rooms number on the table. Moonfire turned to walk down the hall pushing roughly past Al. As she did so a particularly long white feather fell from her wing. Much like the one she had given him years ago. Only this one looked less pretty than the old. She obviously hadn't taken care of herself as well as she used to.
Upon receiving the kiss wills cheeks reddened slightly as his face began to heat up. When she turned to leave he put a hoof up to his cheek his expression one if dazed joy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Al---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As she pushed past him Al raised an eyebrow, "My apologies." he murmured in a calm tone. Then, turning his attention to the dazed pegasus sitting at the table he cleared his throat sternly in order to get his attention.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Will-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will, who until now had been staring after Moonfire with a dazed expression of happiness plastered on his face, jumped slightly at the sound coming from his coworker.
"W-what?" he asked as his eyes darted around to check his surroundings for a moment. noticing the absence of his past crush he turned to his coworker. "Wheres Moonfire?" he asked curiously.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Al-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Al sighed and pointed a hoof at the number the snow colored mare had placed on the table before she left. "It seems she has decided to retire for the night he replied in a calm tone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Will-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will frowned in disappointment before catching sight of the feather that had fallen to the floor getting to his hooves he gently picked up the feather in his mouth and placed gently in the pocket of the lab coat before heading towards the door. "Why do you suppose she left?" he wondered aloud.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Al-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Al sighed, "It would seem that she was under the assumption that you were the sole inhabitant of this room." he replied dryly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Will-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will cocked his head to the side and gave his college a questioning look. "Should I have told her I was sharing a room with someone?" he asked curiously.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Al------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Al raised an eyebrow, "She seems to think so." he replied in a calm tone. then bending his neck he plucked the feather from the ground and placed it on the table next to the room number. "William you do realize that this could have been avoided if you had just discreetly informed me of the appointment." he remarked as he sat in the vacant chair across from his coworker.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Will-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will sighed and got to his hooves " Believe me Al I would have. The trouble is, I had no idea she was even coming to this." he replied apologetically as he got to his hooves. "Do you think I should apologize?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Al------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Al sighed "William that is entirely up to you." he replied in a calm tone as he reached into an inner pocket and withdrew a black leather bound tome and began to read.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Will-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Realizing he was on his own with this one, Will headed towards the door and going down the hall found himself in front of the door to her room, taking a deep breath he knocked on her door with his hoof. "Moonfire?"

Story threw his hooves up. "I have no idea how I managed it! I was just telling stories about Amaterasu and next thing I know, I'm seeing stars, my horn hurts, and there's a hole in the door frame!" He harumphed and crossed his hooves across his chest.
"You're never going to let me forget this, are you?"

The griffon chuckles a tad, "Nope, probably not, In fact, just remind me to keep bringing it up." The griffon rests his paw onto the clutch, and sets the car into reverse. The station wagon finds itself out of the parking lot and onto the road. "So, I was thinking we could have a impromptu reunion with some of my old friends in Mt. Akagi, then go back, see the shrine, then be back for dinner."

Story rolled his eyes and nudged his boyfriend affectionately, "More racers, I should have known. Seems like half your life before the university revolved around cars. I'm kind of jealous that you had a bunch of friends that loved doing the same thing though."
He sighed. "Occupational hazard of being the neighborhood queer in Salt Lick City."

The griffon chuckles, then steals a look at the clock. 6:30, if we're lucky they'll still be here. "Well, everyone has their quirks." The griffon eyes the rear view mirrors, "Will you be mad at me if I show you something amazing?"
#2289

The griffon cracks a smile as he changes lanes to come behind a black Porsche 3.4 Liter Turbo. Booyah.
"You said I could, so..."
The griffon flickers his headlights to the Porsche, "This is what I /wish/ I could've done in high school."
"You see, to be able to do this, you've gotta have money. Being in high school, I had none. Seeing these guys on the drive home drove me crazy, but, here we are now."
"I liked the appeal of these races better, but, you make do with what you've got."
The Porsche flips on it's hazards, "Now, don't say I didn't warn you."
The black 3.4 liter takes off.
"Welcome, to the highway."
The griffon throws the gear down, and eases onto the throttle.
The engine of the wagon makes a steady "BRNWAAAAAA" as it gains power.
The wagon shoots through a gap between two trucks, upon passing through the Porsche comes back into view.
He know's somethings up right now, this ain't a normal wagon.
The engine quiets down as it catches the 3.4 Turbo.
"I got him, now we wait until freemode."
Both cars make their way through traffic at a speed just over the limit, "Freemode's coming soon, I can feel it."
A tunnel enters the car's view, "Here we go."
The cars weave through the last of the traffic, now facing an empty highway.
"Wait for it....."
The Porsche finds its way to another lane, the griffon eases onto the throttle.
The wagon pulls closer to the Porsche, eventually being side by side.
The griffon silently holds up three talons as the tunnel gets closer.
A talon is let down, two remaining.
The tunnel bears closer onto the two cars. Another talon is let down.
Both cars finally enter the tunnel, the griffon lets down his last talon.
Both cars roar as they enter the tunnel, with no cars in sight, they can really open up.
The motor of the wagon roars as the pedal is placed to the floor.
Racket frowns as he sees the 3.4 gaining ground against him. That RR layout's going to have me when we floor it. Hmm.
The griffon notices the Porsche backfire, dip to the front, then rock back again. The wagon passes the 3.4 liter with this.
There we go! His lightweight body and softer 'pension make shifts longer. I just have to keep the lead.
The griffon floors the gas, only to discover it was pressed down as far as it could. So this is how it's going to go.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
The Porsche pulls back alongside, the lights reflecting off of it's jet black paint.
The griffon suddenly lets off the gas as both cars exit the tunnel. An audible groan is heard from him as he notices he has to take the exit to Akagi.
"Well, that was fun. A whole lot safer than the mountain, that's for sure."

Story's pupils shrank slightly as Racket moves the station wagon behind the Porsche and flashed the headlights. He forced himself to stay as neutral and act as naturally as he could.
Keep calm, Story Books. You had a very good idea what was and is about to happen. You forfeited all rights to blind panic and screaming when you agreed to let him do his thing. Just lean back, relax, and know that one way or another this will all be over soon.
With that not-so-comforting thought, Story forced himself to lean back into his seat and tried to settle himself down by reciting traditional Equestrian folk tales to himself. He had just decided on Goldiemane and the Three Ursas when he felt the gear drop. All thoughts of porridge immediately left his mind, replaced by raw horror. The pony in his head donned a crash helmet, fire retardant coveralls and pool floaties and grimly faced immenant death.

One wild car ride later, Racket spoke up. "Well, that was fun. A whole lot safer than the mountain, that's for sure."
Story was sitting rigidly his seat, one fetlock hooked around the door handle and the other around the seatbelt itself. He slowly managed to loosen the tightly clenched muscles in his neck and turned his head to stare at Racket with an audible creaking noise.

The griffon's left brow raises upon hearing the creaking noise, "Err, honey?"

Posted 14 February 2014 - 03:27 PM
"I keep letting you do that... I know what it's going to be like... I know that I'm going to be in sheer terror... But I still go along with it..."
He straightened up somewhat in his seat and shook his head to clear it.
"I'll be fine for the rest of the ride. Just please take it easy!"
((Not meant to be too serious of a bit. Tried to write for comedy and did so poorly.))

Story gave Racket a shakey smile. "Somepony almost wonders how we do it. Anyhow, let's see these friends of yours."
Story takes a deep breath of his own and begins to settle his nerves. After a just a few minutes, his heart rate has settled back to normal and he'd taken a moment to reposition his glasses.
