A small price to pay for being able to enjoy the rest of the run next to you. 

"If you want me, you gotta catch me first!"

Titanium kicks off the ground and back into a sprint, catching her breath from the short reset, she once again tries to put distance between her and the others. Teasing Moonlight with the short break only to vanish again around the next corner.

'Yay! 11 steps!'

Total steps = 32

*As she peacefully walking and taking her time to admire the colorful leaves falling around her, when she was knocking them off the trees, Shiny Silvermoon turned around to see the participants that were behind her. She noticed that @Felis Amafeles was picking up the pace so she began to cheer and encourage her.* "Wonderful, Felis! You're incredible! In no time, you'll be able to leap next to me!" *Speaking of which, the mare began to leap again.*

[Moonlight Wane]

A wild branch appears on the ground in front of Moonlight, like a ninja in the shadows ambushing the target. Moonlight remains unaware, as he looks where Titanium has disappeared behind the corner. Suddenly, his hoof hits the branch and he tumbles to the ground. He picks himself up, but his leg now hurts a little.

(steps: 72)

Titanium hears the sound of a familiar voice in pain, she instinctively slows down and turns around. 'Should I check on them?' She thinks to herself 'I'm sure they're fine, right?' She stops running, now facing backwards, she fights with her own internal ideals. 'I wouldn't be a good pony if I ran off... But the race...' She turns again to look back at the race, then back to where the crash was heard... "Oh you stupid pony" She says to herself, before running back to see if @Nitobit is ok.

She arrives as Moonlight starts to pick himself up off the ground, she rushes over to his side and tucks her foreleg under him to help lift him back onto his hoofs. "I don't know how a being with wings falls over...-" She starts in a half-laugh tone, "-... You owe me, bat boy." She winks at Moonlight, helping him get back into the race again.

 19 Steps for Chatterbox = 90 steps

 

 *Chatterbox would hear the fireworks by her lover @Samurai Equine she did have a crush on him now and started to develop feelings, but she felt in a conflict, she has thought to let go the race and be with Samurai and enjoy the falling of the leaves together but on the other hand she was already advanced too much and if she wins a prize or at least have recognition she wanted to share whatever she got with her charming pri... I mean samurai

"Of course not, @Silverspark184! However, I'm not leaping very quickly, right now! So if your goal is to go fast, you might want to choose you're another ride! However, if you just want to chill and enjoy the view, I'd gladly spend some time with you on my back!" *Shiny explained to Silverspark, while leaping more carefully since she was now carrying a filly on her back.*

"Titanium!" He uses her foreleg as a support as he stands up. "If I'd known this is how I get your attention, I would've tripped earlier!" He laughs and gives the mare a short hug. "Thank you. I won't forget that. Now let's go. We still have a long way ahead."

*Shiny was happy to see that @Felis Amafeles was catching up with her and the others. She took a moment to wave at her with one of her hooves, before returning to her leaps.*

[Sir Hugsalot 9,287]

Vibrant would find himself tired after his very intense run, so he would slow down his pace, allowing others to catch up with him a bit. He would breathe heavily and barely have enough energy to check his surroundings D:

*9 steps behind @Sir Hugsalot, there was Shiny who noticed that he slowed down. The unicorn sprinted a little bit, in order to get next to the pegasus and give him some motivation.* "You're very fast on your hooves, for a flying pony! I'm sure that @Ice Princess Silky <3 is impressed by you, even if she's too competitive to admit it! Taking a break time to time is the wisest thing to do, if you don't want to hurt yourself!"

"Oh har har, is that the whole reason you're here then? To get my attention?" She giggles, trotting alongside the blue bat pony. Titanium gives a sly smile to the stallion "You already have my attention, dumb dumb."

*Silky would see the distant form of Vibrant becoming slower and this motivated her to become faster. As Shiny would say these words, the competitive glisten in her eyes would sparkle to betray her despite her words* Yeah, totally... take a break. *she'd wink at @Sir Hugsalot in a dubious but playful manner as she'd pick up the pace to go slightly faster. She'd flutter her eyelashes since fluttering her wings at him the last time almost disqualified her with the robotic Terminator pony @Rethajni*

(steps: 72)

Samurai notices what appears to be another racer tripping and falling. He builds up as much speed as he can...

It's not a lot of speed, probably won't break too far from last place, but maybe he can at least get in shouting distance. "Hey!! Are you okay over there?! Need any help?!"

As Samurai does his best to race, he contemplates his position. "Hmm... I don't need to win. Don't even want to win. But I do want to cheer for Chat-chan. And I do want to help any pony or creature in danger. Perhaps I'd be of more help further up the course than in dead last."

Moonlight turns around to look at Samurai. His hoof hurts a little, but not enough to slow him down. The stallions are far apart, and he doesn't want to get too far from Titanium or slow her down. "I'll be fine, thanks!"

[Shiny Silvermoon]

*Shiny Silvermoon continued to leap, while most participants of the race were competitively trying to go as fast as they could to win the race. She began to hum but she was so quiet that it was hard to figure out what song she was singing, even for those near the mare. However, time to time, the other ponies were hearing her say "my little pony".*

Vibrant would find himself able to speak as his fatigue was still immense, but he managed to respond, albeit rather quietly

"Thank you, Shiny! I really hope she is, but I wish this was a break... I think I pushed myself a bit too hard. I will not let her win easily though, no matter how much I love her" he winked with a cheeky, competitive smile

He would notice Silky getting closer and closer to him and blush softly against himself at the prospect of close company of the pink pegasus. He was trying to pick up a pace still, but with poor results as his hooves definitely need a bit of a rest

"I love you, but don't think you'll beat me so easily, darling, this is a mere silence before the storm" He smiled at her softly, but also showing a hint of competitiveness, definitely fixed on making sure that even if she wins, it will be no easy victory. She wouldn't like such victory anyway, always appreciating the challenge

Titanium nudges Moonlight ahead, pushing him to go faster. "Come on, you'll have to pick up the pace!" She laughs, running ahead of Moonlight and egging him on "If you wanna be with me, you gotta catch up with meee~" She hops in a circle, mockingly swaying her head from side to side, finally speeding up again "Alright, come on, slowpoke!" She yells one last time before running ahead.
