Silky was cocky as she'd run forward and chuckle. She had already seen it all. Chaos, distractions and random snow... there was no way she would allow another challenge to get in her way.

Rolling under barrels and keeping her hoof-work flowing, she'd suddenly be hit in the face with a snow ball and that would stop her momentarily but she would still be ahead of Vibrant, to her surprise, she'd look back and see him face his weakness which was, apparently, agility.

Her strength. She'd giggle and run back and offer comfort and a wing hug.

Vibrant would continue rushing after her, doing his best to catch up. He still found his hooves moving rather erratically, adjusted to obstacle course that favored dodging and jumping instead of simple trot forward. He was picking up the pace albeit slowly. That's when he noticed her stopping and suddenly going in for a hug, which he, without hesitation accepted and returned. 

"So, darling, ready to win this race?" He smiled. We can't let those rascals best us!

*After making sure that Titanium @Wizard didn't harm herself by running into a barrel, Shiny Silvermoon continued her journey. However, it was a short return to the race, since she spotted @Ice Princess Silky <3 giving an hug to @Sir Hugsalot and wanted to join them. The joyfully bounced on her hooves, alike Pinkie Pie do, toward the two pegasus and tightly embraced them both without any warning.*

"You are both Silkytastic!"

Steps : 10 (No bonus and no penalty)

Total steps : 178

Total leaves : 115

"Says our darling friend c: Do not think this will allow you to win though! We are still winning this!" He grinned with challenge on his face

Silky would giggle at the returned wing hug and then blink once looking ahead as soon as Vibrant comments on other being too far ahead. "Wait a second," she'd look around. "Did I just hear the sound of a bus?

+ 10 steps = 243 !  woooh

*Racing car noises*

Silky would suddenly look captivated by this noise. "Blow them up ! Blow them up!" She'd randomly cheer for some... nonsensical reason.

 12 Steps for Chatterbox: 231

 15 on the path of Sweet Apple Acres

 

 20 steps for Kramathia = 221

 17 for the Sweet Apple Acres path = that would mean 50% increase in the next roll?

 

 

 

 

Chatterbox wasn't an athlete, there was some barrels on her way, she did her best to avoid the barrels and manages to keep her pace but sweating and tired trying to move forward, Chatterbox took a small break to breathe and maybe see some faces running by, who knows if she can catch up with anypony

...............

 Kramathia who was a ponydroid who was built as soldier and for the toughtest obstacles,she jumped all of them with no effort following the rules and making machine noises while jumping, in her Interface the obstacles were showing as a "quick time" event and her eye made her analyse how to jump each obstacle, she was also playing some music on her speaker as she was jumping and doing "supermoves"

 

Spoiler

 

Kramathia managed to jump the obstacles using acrobaties

"Who said that I wanted to win?" *Shiny responded to @Sir Hugsalot with a smug expression stamped on her face. Suddenly, Silky felt her body become extremely light, as if she wasn't touching the ground anymore. It was the case, since Shiny was lifting her with her two front hooves, above her head.*

"TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!" *The unicorn yelled, before throwing the pegasus forward in the race.*

 

Throw : 15 ( @Ice Princess Silky <3 is thrown 15 steps forward by Shiny.)

[Anarchylight]

Anarchylight spawned a mirror in front of her and looked into it.
-What's going on behind her?
Not noticing the tree in front of her, she crashed into it, breaking the mirror and knocking the tree down. Quickly getting up and using magic, she put the tree back in place, removed the mirror shards and ran on.

Since I missed a day, again...

STEPS: 19
LEAVES: 1

STEPS: 8
LEAVES: 5

Samurai took a moment to adjust his approach around the barrels. Once he got the hang of running around them, he found himself kicking up speed pretty fast! "Awesome! I hope Chat-chan (@Rethajni) is doing just as well."

However, Samurai slows down a little when he notices speed isn't helping him knock down more leaves. "...I need to be a bit more careful. This race is about fall, not about winning." For now, Samurai tries to find the right balance between speed and efficiency.

[Starlight Glimmer 104]

As she continued to sleep, Starlight was woken up by the feeling of something splashing upon her. With a jolt of shock, the unicorn jolted up from the floor of the basket to her hooves. “W-What in Euestria was that?” Starlight asked, looking around to gather her bearings. All around, it looked as if chaos had taken place. From snow that was lying upon the ground, to the day looking as if it was back to normal, or somewhat earlier or later than before. Starlight couldn’t make heads or tails as looked down at her to see chocolate covering her fur. “What even happened since I gave that announcement? Why am I still somewhat tired?” Starlight wondered, stifling a yawn. “How is there even snow here? Rainbow didn’t call for any snow yet, right? We’re still in Fall and especially with the Running of the Leaves still taking place? Also, Trixie? Did you bring chocolate milk up with us along with your cinnamon nuts?” Starlight turned to her best friend, her eyes widening slightly as she noticed that Trixie was also covered in chocolate milk. “Uh…Trix? Did something happen that I don’t know about?”

She thought she heard the sound of chuckling, turning around quickly to see Discord disappearing out of nowhere. “Discord!” She called out to him, but he was already gone. “I should have known, but I guess this is Discord we’re talking about. I sure hope that he didn’t cause too much chaos after I fell asleep like that.” Starlight sighed as she facehoofed. Shaking her head, she grabbed her microphone, which thankfully wasn’t ruined or covered by the chocolate milk. All before trying to shake away any chocolate milk that was on her as she got back into the swing of things. 
 

“Hey, everypony! I’m truly sorry about the sudden silence. Apparently there were some technical difficulties, as well as some sort of interference from a certain chaotic friend we all know and love. Even so, it looks like our racers are back on track and heading towards their next obstacle at Sweet Apple Acres!” Starlight exclaimed, feeling ecstatic as the race was back and the racers were still raring to go. “Moonlight wastes no time and dodges the barrels with style and grace!” Starlight commentates, wincing from impact that Titanium received. “Ooooh~! That’s got to hurt. It looks like Moonlight, Shiny and the others are checking up on Titanium to see if they are doing well after that turn of events. That’s what I call good sportsmanship and I hope that Titanium is okay.” Starlight says, watching as everyone made their attempt at either the barresl or the hurdles. "It looks like most of our contestants are choosing to dodge and weave the barrels over the hurdles. Looks like we have ourselves a popular choice this year, folks!" Starlight says, smiling fondly as Shiny and everyone that competed was checking up on everyone to see that they are okay.

"From what it looks like, Titanium and Moonlight are making what sounds to be taxi cart noises. It sounds to me that they're putting the pedal to the metal as they're both vying for the lead!" Starlight's ears perked as she heard the sound of somepony scream. As she looked to the source, she saw that it was Silky, who was being launched by Shiny. Starlight frowned as she was worried that she'd have to give a warning, but smiled softly. "It looks like contestant Shiny was trying to help contestant Silky with getting ahead in the race. Normally, a warning would be given as you're meant to run and not fly, but I think this one can be overlooked. GIven that Shiny's heart was in the right place. This is the only exception, however." Starlight explained, wincing as both Silky and Brightspark had crashed into Moonlight. "It looks like there was a bit of a crash landing between some of our contestants. Especially since it looks like contestant Brightspark was a part of that. I do hope that Silky, Moonlight and Brightspark was okay. That looked like a bit of a doozy as Pinkie Pie would say. Meanwhile, contestant Silverspark has mad some good leaps and bounds over the hurdles, before landing in a pile of leaves. I hope that she had a safe landing as it's never a bad idea to jump into a pile of leaves."

Titanium notices footsteps behind her "Whoa! Somepony caught up! I think I'm letting myself slip!" She laughs, before ducking her head down again for another push to gain as much ground as possible.

"If you want to win this, I'm not going to make it easy for you!" She calls out.

When no one is looking, Moonlight jumps into a pile of leaves and inexplicably jumps out of another pile, a little further down the track.

*After turning a grey zone in the rules of the race into a good action that allowed @Ice Princess Silky <3 to catch up with @Nitobit, Shiny Silvermoon began to leap once more, as if launching her sister into the air was completely normal. She even began to hum a song. Then, she heard the comment of @Starlight Glimmer about the use of wings.*

"Technically, I didn't do anything against the rules by launching Silky without using my magic! And Silky didn't fly, she simply opened her wings while she was being launched so if it was the gravity's fault if she glided. However, that would mean that simply opening your wings is enough to get a warning… Mmmh…" *She said to herself, thoughtfully, with the a logic similar to a purple princess's.*

"Kramathia @Rethajni!" *The unicorn yelled to her friend who was far ahead in the race.* "Could you open your wings for me? I need to verify something! You know what? Forget about it! It's not a good idea!"
