Show some spirit! It's a new system, and that means new people, new shenanigans, new adventures, savvy? You'd better have enough moxie to thrive in this one...

WHOOHOOOOOOO GO POE GO! YOU CAN DO IT!

[Thankfully she only has one horse pilot friend in this particular race; it'd get pretty dicey if Cheese and Poe were against each other.]

eyyyyyyyy

[helluva_pilot]

[Hell yeah, of course he can do it. But hearing a familiar voice cheer him on makes him grin. Well, grin even more. It's skimmers this time, so he gives her a little wing waggle to say hi, because he's going to win this thing.

After he zooms across the finish line to victory, you can bet your pretty pink tail he's going to find his pony friend.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

YAAAAY! You go, Poe, that was AMAZING!

[helluva_pilot]

[Going in for the high five, aw yeah.]

Thanks, Pinkie! That was a hell of a race. Good to be flying like that again.

You give it a try?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Heehee you know, maybe I should! It's REALLY fun watching you and Cheese race!

[Poe, NO. You don't want her behind the wheel, she probably drives like Mr. Magoo!]

[helluva_pilot]

You definitely should! You can start out in a friendly race if you don't want to have too much pressure on you. Or-- hey, you could ride along with me sometime.

You know, I still haven't met Cheese...

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oooh yeah, maybe I can ride with you first! Hee, and maybe I can ask Cheese for pointers~ Hee or both at the same time, you're right, you two really SHOULD meet, I think you'd like each other a lot!

[Tan, curly-haired pilot bros?]

[helluva_pilot]

Well, asking Cheese for pointers could be a pretty good strategy if you want some, you know, quality time with him and all.

We should have dinner. Or go to a race together. Something like that.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oooh or a race AND dinner!

Speaking of quality time, how are you and Finn doing~?

[helluva_pilot]

That's why I like you, Pinkie. You don't think small.

[He grins.] Pretty damn good. Finn's great. I think he's trying to make up for lost time.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Awww that's great! You two are soooo cute together I love it!

[helluva_pilot]

You think so? [Torn between embarrassment and pride, here. He's been trying to not make a huge deal out of things, just to keep everyone comfortable.] Being someone's first boyfriend's a new one on me, but I'm doing my best.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, I know. Being a special somepony PERIOD is a new one for me! Hmmmm but it's a GREAT new one!

[Even after two whole months, girl's still got it baaad.]

[helluva_pilot]

You and Finn have a lot in common on that one.

I'm glad things are still working out well for you guys.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Awww thank you~! I'm glad it's working out for you two, too~!

So what's next, Mr. Champion~?

[helluva_pilot]

We definitely got to do a double date. [Since it'd be something new and fun for both Finn and Pinkie...]

You know, I hadn't decided. Gotta collect my winnings, but then I'm not up to much. Wanna get something to eat, see the sights or something?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oooooh now you're talking! ALL of that sound great! Where do you wanna eat first? Gotta do some scoping for that double date after all~ [Wink!]

[helluva_pilot]

There's a place that does a killer vegetarian pizza that I ran across. [He even made a note of it for Pinkie later.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Such a thoughtful Poe.]

Mmmmm, yes please, pizza sounds perfect!

[helluva_pilot]

You're on. [He heads to get his payment--and Pinkie's welcome along--then get them a cab that will take them to pizza.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oooh a cab! You sure know how to spoil a pony!

[helluva_pilot]

Or maybe I'm just a lazy pilot. [Nah, he likes spoiling his friends.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Pffft no you're not! A LAZY pilot couldn't have won that race! Or take care of the ship and the shuttles as well as you do!

[helluva_pilot]

Well, I'm not lazy about being a pilot. [He winks at her.] Just about everything else.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Pffft hardly! You're laid back, but lazy?! Never!
