that looks very dangerous   —You knew Dash very well and the fear you felt seeing the motocross track would (unfortunately) be her excitement.

is the nurse even still here   —You looked around as you followed the line to the bleachers. Supposing she was still inside her office in the actual building when you didn't see her anywhere, you sighed with a head shake. The track was especially untrustworthy in all its twists and turns, not to mention Dash still rarely drives. She still has 6 months before she turns 17, so her desired motorcycle permit is well within the future.

who honestly approved of this- actually, they probably just asked the parents   —The six competitors of each team would soon come out in uniforms, and your previous suspicions were correct. There was absolutely no one who could tell Dash she was not riding a motorcycle today.

You waved when you noticed her scanning the bleachers. Watching her lips spread into a smile, she excused herself from the group, running up the stairs.

"Hey!" She sat down, kissing your cheek.

You sarcastically smiled, "You don't even know how to ride a motorcycle."

"Not true!" Dash laughed. "Applejack's been telling me all the basic controls."

"So you just learned as of today? Less than an hour ago?"

"Well we just found out there were motorcycles, and it was between me and her, but she's doing archery with Fluttershy. Sunset's with me."

"Rainbow Dash, come on!" You both looked at Rarity. She and Pinkie Pie were wearing roller skates and the appropriate, protective gear. "You need to pick your fairing... thingies."

Dash smiled, holding your hands and rubbing your knuckles as she got up. "Wish me luck?"

"You don't need luck," Her expression faltered in genuine offense. You chuckled, "but がんばってね."
- ganbatte ne → good luck

"That's good luck, right?"

"Pretty much." This was enough to send her on her way.

MOTOCROSS

i have to pee so bad   —The speed-skating was about to come to an end, and while you had high hopes for Canterlot, it would be an incredibly close finish. This victory would be all thanks to Twilight and her (pitiful) inability to hit a bullseye for the first two minutes of the game.

But just as unfortunately for you, you had succumbed to your hunger and bought a water and hot dog from the concession stand, which (paired with your aversion to school bathrooms) very quickly triggered your bladder.

just wait for Dash. she can get half a lap but then i really have to go   —You would stay long enough to see Dash get several seconds of air time, but also observe her natural talent for motocross. If you didn't know her, you would definitely think she had at least a year of experience. One is not naturally born knowing how to drift and land.

i'm not going in a portable toilet   —You had a gentle jog as you made your way to the school. Thankfully, the back entrance that initially led to the field was still unlocked.

しまった...   —In the little time you were gone, chaos had ensued.
- shimatta... → oh dear...

Several vines, weeds, and other animate greens were all around the track. Noticing Dash flying around in the air, subduing any hostile plant, you considered returning to your seat so she knew of your status but decided against it. You hid behind a pillar.
