Autumn was one of Rainbow Dash's favorite times of the year. All the green leaves turned into brilliant shades of colors and dazzled like jewels in the sun. The wind was crisper, the clouds a little heavier in number and made better hiding places for afternoon naps. This was a transitional season, one that never lasted long enough. It would all be over too soon when the annual Running of The Leaves began and moved Ponyville straight into the frigidness of Winter.
Last year the race had been a really poor reflection on her character. It was the same for Applejack as well, but Dash recognized it was more her own tactics that made things so complicated. There was nothing she loved more than winning and that sometimes clouded the mind of the pegasus pony. This year she was determined to both run a clean race and win at the same time. There were few true bragging rights in a race won through tricks and cheating. So no wings, no flipping signs, none of it. She was going to win fair and square.
Unless Applejack had anything to do about it.
Rainbow Dash smirked to herself as she headed for Whitetail Wood, thinking about her fillyfriend. Oh, how much had changed since their last big race together. She never knew she could care about somepony else as much as she cared about herself, more, even. But she knew she loved Applejack and that the feelings were returned. That in itself was no small miracle. As far as Rainbow Dash was concerned, no one knew her faults as well as Applejack, yet the earth pony loved her still.
Much as she wanted to play fair this year, it was hard for her to stay still thinking about the quickly approaching race. A stroll through the woods wouldn't hurt, would it? And if it just so happened that she wound up on the exact same path the race took every year, well that would just be a big, ginormous coincidence!
Looking left and right, Rainbow Dash chuckled to herself and entered Whitetail Wood.
