Season 3: Love Season
Episode 3 (33): Speed is Key (Rainbow Dash x Gordon)
Last time we looked at what Applejack and Toby were up to one their first day, next up….
So the group walked off in different directions while the Mane 7 walk with their respective boyfriends. We're now taking a look at Rainbow Dash and Gordon who were riding Rainbow's new motorcycle to see her old friend, Lightning Dust. But on the way, they find some other speedsters as well.
Gordon: Phew, now that's a fine ride we've had my dear.
Rainbow Dash: I'm glad you liked it buddy, because there's more where that comes in sometime in the future.
Belle: Well, I'm glad you two like your bike.
Gordon: Belle, what a pleasant surprise.
Belle: Been a while Gordon, how are you holding up?
Rainbow Dash: Well Belle, (Snickers) that almost rhymes, anyways, Gordon and I are now a thing.
Belle: Really now, well then, good for you Gordon.
Gordon: Thanks Belle. So what are you guys doing here?
Flynn: Your pal Rainbow Dash along with her old friend have invited us speedsters for one meeting. Still trying to figure out what that meeting is about.
Gator: Maybe the meeting is to tell us that it's a day for us speedsters. Maybe.
Rainbow Dash: Well then, why don't you ask the choreographer of this here meeting, Lightning Dust!
Lightning Dust: Nice introduction Dash.
Rainbow Dash: Ya know it.
Gordon: So, what's our plan for today Lightning Dust.
Lightning Dust: So, our plan for us speedsters here. First up, there's an off-road race track where the Everfree Forest is, I feel like we should see who can conquer the off-road department. Then, we'll stop by a fast food joint and get some grub. After that, we have a dirt bike at the same track and finally, my favorite part, there's a rock concert happening on stage and we've just got tickets to see it.
Indigo Zap: Got a ticket for me as well Lightning, 'cause I want in on your little gig.
Lightning Dust: You must be Indigo Zap, it's an honor to meet you.
Indigo Zap: The same to you, you got another ticket in store because I want to join with you guys for that concert.
Lightning Dust: Turns out, there's an extra ticket in this pile, so you're in luck.
Indigo Zap: Alright! So, what are we doing today?
Rainbow Dash: We're heading to the off-road track for a little ride.
Indigo Zap: Oh yeah, that's the perfect to test out my sweet dirt bike.
Gator: Umm, hate to break it to you, what about the rest of us?
Flynn: Yeah, I mean we've gone through bike, ATVs, 4x4s and buggy training, which ones would be our respective choices?
Rainbow Dash: I think I can work something out when we get there, but first, (Whistles), hey Bertie, we need a ride to the dirt track!
Bertie: Coming, just got to tune in the engine of my bus, it's acting up again.
Rainbow Dash: Ugh, come on everyone, let's help him.
As the others walked to Bertie's bus, Gordon called Connor, Flynn and Freddie over.
Gordon: Psst, hey you three. Come over here.
Flynn: What's the situation Gordon?
Gordon: Well, it's not like an emergency. But I need your help with something.
Connor: What do you want us to do?
Gordon: You know that concert that Lightning Dust bought those tickets for, well, Rainbow Dash doesn't know that I'm taking part in a concert and I need you, Gator and Flynn for my song I picked out for her.
Gator: Huh, never thought you being in an audition for a concert, but if you want our help for this gig, then we're in.
Gordon: Thanks you guys, let's go see how the girls are doing.
They look to see that the girls are fixing the engine of Bertie's bus, and in due time, it was fixed.
Lightning Dust: Phew, that took a while, but that won't stop our date with destiny, would you agree Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash: You betcha Lightning Dust.
Bertie: Alrighty then, engine's fixed, let's head to the dirt track.
So everyone boarded the bus and Bertie ignited the engine and they were on their way to the dirt track. They soon arrive at the track.
Lightning Dust: Alright everyone, we made it. Now the concert doesn't start until 11:00, so we got some time to do our off-road track race and our bike race at the same time, before we have to stop for some grub.
Caitlin: Ooh, this is so exciting. But, why can't we take our crotch rockets over there?
Rainbow Dash: Because those types of bikes don't have the best traction on the dirt track, but dirt bikes work best in this stuff.
Caitlin: Oh, I get it now.
Rainbow Dash: I know that Gordon got me that awesome crotch rocket, I can't take that beauty of a bike out on that stretch of desert.
Lightning Dust: You got that right. So Caitlin and Connor, you have these here dirt bikes, hopefully these will still have that feel like your motorcycles.
Caitlin & Connor: Awesome! Awesome!
Hannah: Oh yeah, speed is my game, let's do this!
With the characters that were in Rainbow Dash's group, Hannah was from the last group of engines that made it through the portal.
Lightning Dust: Hold your horses Hannah, we got the others to settle with their off-road vehicles first. Belle and Flynn, your new ATVs.
Belle: Oh yeah, this is going to be awesome.
Flynn: You said it.
Lightning Dust: Freddie and Gator, you two have these 4x4s.
Freddie: Hmm, not bad. I think those could definitely work.
Gator: I think so.
Lightning Dust: Gordon, I know you don't have a particular ride, but with the right guidance, you might just master your new dune buggies.
Gordon: Much appreciated.
Lightning Dust: And the same for you Jeremy.
Jeremy: Alright, I know I prefer flying, but this will do nicely.
Their new off-road vehicles have shared their respective color schemes.
- Caitlin and Connor's dirt bikes have their colors like their crotch rockets
- Hannah's dirt bike has yellow all over the bike, black around the engine and white for the hubs
- Belle's ATV has dark blue all around with hints of red for the lights and back
- Flynn's ATV has the colors of a regular fire truck: Red all around, silver for the brush guard and gold for the hubs
- Gordon's dune buggy is the same color as his engine form, with red for the hubcaps and white for the rollcage and bumper
- Jeremy's dune buggy is white but light blue for the roof
Gordon: Roomy, I like it.
Hannah: Oh man, I can't wait to shred the track!
Gator: This is cool.
Rainbow Dash: Alright everyone, let's fire up these bad boys and get them at the starting line.
So everyone activated their off-road vehicles and rolled towards the starting line.
Lightning Dust: Alright, we'll have two laps for the off-road track and we'll have a dirt bike race around the end, which will be three laps.
Indigo Zap: Seems reasonable, alright, let's see whose off-roader comes out on top.
Rainbow Dash: Oh bring it.
Lightning Dust: Ready, set, go!
So the race started with the motorcycles taking the charge followed by the ATVs, 4x4s and buggies. Everything was going smoothly with everyone going at their own pace. Slowly, the ATVs were slowly catching up to the motorcycles as they were the second fastest. After a while, they crossed the finish line, with three motorcycles at front (Rainbow, Caitlin and Connor), one buggy (Gordon), two ATVs and two motorcycles (Belle, Flynn, Indigo and Lightning), two 4x4s and another buggy (Gator, Freddie and Jeremy).
Jeremy: (Whistles) These babies sure are a doozy, though I like sticking to the air more, no offense.
Lightning Dust: None taken, my friend. Gordon, you were able to nearly catch up with the three lead motorcycles.
Gordon: Hey, they don't call me the fastest of the Steam Team for nothing.
Gator: I bet that's what they all say back on Sodor.
Gordon: What was that?
Gator: Oh, nothing. (Snickers)
Gordon: That's what I thought.
Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah, still got it. But our motorcycles need a tune-up after that race, where can we get a mechanic around here?
Victor: I may be off assistance, my friend.
They turn to see Victor in his repair truck, and outstepped Victor, Kevin along with Den and Dart.
Lightning Dust: Hello there Victor, Kevin, I see that you guys brought along, Den and Dart, weren't they bad guys from way back?
Den: Umm, we were but….
Dart: What he means is, Miss Lightning, that yes, we were bad guys when we were on Diesel's side and we immediately regretted joining his side, once we were defeated and gotten some time to ourselves in jail. But now, since we redeemed ourselves from our fight, along with the Steam Team and the Mane 7, against Timothy, Thomas' demon brother. So now, we are proper again and we like it.
Lightning Dust: Well then, that was a surprise.
Indigo Zap: No kidding, we, along with Lemon, Sugarcoat, Sunny and Sour and the CHCs have to take cover in the school during their fight. So I'm glad you didn't get to see Thomas turn into that raging demon of a brother he was.
Lightning Dust: I don't blame you. So then, what brings you to the track Victor?
Victor: Well, I had a feeling that whenever a vehicle I sense needs some tuning up, I just got to follow its trail until I reached the source, and that being the race track.
Lightning Dust: Clever, well, we could use some tuning for some of our off-road vehicles, especially our motorcycles. Do you think you guys can get it done in time for the motorcycle race?
Kevin: Trust Victor Lightning, anything he can fix, he can do it with ease. Right boss?
Victor: (Chuckles) You got that right Kevin. Now then, my motely pit crew, let's get these here vehicles a fine tuning.
Den & Dart: You got that right, boss! You got that right, boss!
Rainbow Dash: Alright, let's get our fixing on!
So with Den and Dart's help, Victor along with the Dieselworks diesel's powers managed to get the vehicles that the speedsters rode along with their motorcycles all tuned up and fixed for the next big race.
Victor: Phew, this took some time my friends, but I managed to get your rides all fixed and tuned up.
Lightning Dust: Thanks for the help, Victor. Say, I have four extra tickets right here for the rock concert we're about to see, if you guys like.
Kevin: Can we boss; can we go to the rock concert please?
Victor: (Chuckles) Alright Kevin, alright. Of course you can come, the same goes for you too.
Den & Dart: Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
So the ones with the motorcycles headed toward the starting line.
Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah, this is going to be so awesome.
Lightning Dust: You got that right. Ready, everyone?
Rainbow Dash, Hannah, Indigo Zap, Caitlin & Connor: Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready!
Lightning Dust: Well then, start your engines!
So the bikes revved up and race through the starting line as they race around the track. Rainbow was in the lead, followed by Lightning and Indigo, Caitlin, Connor and Hannah. Around the final lap, Rainbow was the winner followed by the others.
Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah, still the best.
Lightning Dust: Can't argue with that.
Connor: (Whistles) Even before we got here, we've heard that you Rainbow Dash are the fastest around here. We thought we see that for ourselves and now, we were right.
Caitlin: You got that right.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah I know, I'm awesome, but hey, all of you were also great out on the track as well.
Belle: Thanks for the compliment Rainbow, that means a lot.
Flynn: And these ATVs could be useful for the Sodor Fire Service when they decide on having them at the Rescue Center.
Freddie: You know, that's not a bad idea, these here vehicles we have could be a good site to any vacationers coming to our railway.
Gordon: Possibly, but you may never know what Sir Topham Hatt has planned for the island's future.
Freddie: True.
Rainbow Dash: All this racing has got me hungry, let's stop by a fast food joint for some grub.
Belle: I'm okay with that.
Gator: Same here, just even thinking about my name Gator has got me wanting to chow down on something.
Connor: (Laughs) Now that's funny right there. Good joke.
Lightning Dust: Then it's settled, next stop, the nearest fast food joint!
So they hopped on Victor's repair truck and the four mechanics enter the truck and they drove off to the nearest fast food restaurant. They parked their truck at the parking lot, walked in and ordered what they want. Gordon got himself a burger with chicken tenders. Flynn got himself an egg sandwich with a hot chocolate. Belle got herself a burrito with a soda. Lightning and Rainbow got two burgers with a side of fries. Gator got himself steak with onion rings. Jeremy got himself an egg sandwich with apple juice. Hannah got herself chicken tenders with a milkshake. Caitlin and Connor got two burgers and milkshakes. Freddie got himself a burger, French fries and a milkshake. Victor got himself a taco. Kevin got himself vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Den got himself a burger and onion rings. Dart got himself an omelet with hash browns.
Rainbow Dash: Mmm-mmm, man, these burgers truly hit the spot.
Lightning Dust: You said it, old friend, this food is more good than the food that was from your pony copy world Sunset was talking about.
Rainbow Dash: You could say that.
Victor: So, where is this rock concert located?
Rainbow Dash: I've looked at a poster of the concert and it's being held in the stage, where me and the girls fought the Sirens long ago.
Gordon: Really, that would be interesting. Lightning, you said the concert doesn't start until when?
Lightning Dust: Right now it's about 8:00, so we will head to our respective homes, get ourselves ready and with Victor's truck, we'll head to the concert in record time.
Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah!
Connor: You think you know what you're doing for the concert, Gordon?
Gordon: I know so Connor, Rainbow Dash won't expect a thing. Once we leave the restaurant, you, Gator and Flynn are gonna accompany me for a little clothes shopping.
Flynn: That's for the concert right?
Gordon: Certainly, that's what I'm planning. I'm leaving the clothes shopping to the girls, especially Rarity.
Gator: (Laughs) That Rarity, always trying to bedazzle everyone's looks.
Gordon: I'm glad she is with James at the moment, otherwise she'll come up with a ridiculous look that I won't even bother wearing.
Rainbow Dash: Whatcha boys talking about over there?
Gordon: Oh, Miss Dash, we're basically talking about who's going to be playing music around the concert.
Rainbow Dash: That's nice, we're about to head out, wanna join us?
Gordon: We'll be with you at the concert, just not at this moment, because we're getting ourselves ready for the concert.
Rainbow Dash: Hopefully, we'll see you four there.
So the group raced off to their homes, while Gordon, Gator, Flynn and Connor walking to a store that has rock clothes.
Gordon: Hopefully in here, we'll find the clothes that will suit us when we perform.
Connor: Don't worry so much Gordon, we'll be great out there.
Gordon: I'm not worried, just don't want this to go terribly wrong.
Connor: Trust me Gordon, nothing will go wrong and you'll make your girlfriend very proud when she sees you on stage, singing the song you picked out for her.
Gordon: Okay, let's do this.
So they entered the store and picked out the clothes they need for their concert debut. When they exited, they're decked out with their gear.
- Gordon got himself a blue leather vest with the number on the right side, yellow buttons going down and red trim around the edges, blue jeans with yellow trim and blue shoes with red trim and laces.
- Gator got himself a red bandana, a necklace with gator teeth, a green leather jacket with gator skin on the arms, cut-up jeans and cowboy boots.
- Flynn got himself some goggles and a red cap, a white undershirt with a red and yellow striped jacket, jeans and boots.
- Connor got himself a visor, a teal jacket with sky blue sleeves along with a sky blue vest with teal trim around the edge, sky blue jeans and teal shoes.
Connor: Now this is some killer gear they provided for us here, I love it.
Gator: Same here, but this surely makes me look like a redneck.
Flynn: (Laughs) Funny, but it looks good on you.
Gordon: I think this will suit us just fine, now then, let's get to the concert.
Meanwhile, the others were also getting ready for the concert.
Lightning Dust: I like your look, it suits you.
Rainbow Dash: Thanks Lightning, I wore this one with my friends while listening to a totally different concert.
Victor: Are you all ready, my friends?
Rainbow Dash, Indigo Zap, Caitlin, Lightning Dust, Hannah, Kevin, Jeremy, Belle, Dart, Den & Freddie: Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready!
Rainbow Dash: Huh, I wonder what's keeping Gordon, Flynn, Gator and Connor?
Lightning Dust: I'm sure they'll show up somewhere, probably they're reserving seats for us or something. But let's not waste any time, Victor, let's roll!
Victor: Okay then!
So Victor started his truck and raced off to the concert, little do they know, that Gordon, Flynn, Connor and Gator managed to beat them there, gave them the tickets and lined up waiting for their turn to perform, since they are the last act. Meanwhile, Victor parked his truck to the parking lot, everyone got out and handed their tickets to the guards, they were surprised that the second row to the right was left open for the group, so they took their seats as the concert is underway. Everyone was jamming with each performance that has been going on. Then, the announcer came onstage to announce the final performance.
Announcer: How is everyone doing on this fine evening! (Cheers in background) Alrighty then, now, we got a final performance that is dedicated to someone very special in the audience, and I'm pointing at you Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow Dash: What?!
Announcer: Now then, presenting the band who will be singing the song, Speed Me Up!
Everyone cheered, but Rainbow was still surprised, that's when the music began.
BG Music: Speed Me Up- Wiz Khalifa ft. Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty & Sueco the Child (Gordon singing ft. Gator, Connor and Flynn)
Gordon:
Left my heart and my soul, you see that I ran
Rings of gold and awards sit on my nightstand
I've got something they want, but it's mine to give
Free my struggles, detach me from this island
Bleed my knuckles, attack me for my finance
I'm dealing with this pain, I just can't let you come throw it away, Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Gordon ft. Gator
So I run (Yeah, yeah), keep me up
Creep on me, they speak on me
They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
Speed me up (Speed, yeah)
So I run (Yeah), keep me up
Creep on me, they speak on me
They slow down when they bring me up like (Yeah, huh)
Speed me up (It's Boat, speed, speed, it's Boat, yeah, ayy)
Gator:
Takin' off quick, too fast, on my tippy toes
Undefeated, bro, no L's, still (Go)
Takin' off quick, too fast, on my tippy toes
Undefeated, bro, no L's, still six and oh
Run around town, profound mentality
Bad young ting, six rings sittin' under me
These dudes actin' like we ain't who they wanna be
Got me tickled, tryna act so selfishly
Pocket full of green stacked up like a pot of peas
Big boy dawg, walkin' 'round with a lot of fleas
Zoom quick, go too fast (Ayy)
Every day, I gotta make it count
Every second, gotta make it last
Roll around, do the double dash
Big glow on my skin, takin' off them tints (Hey)
Lambo (Hey)
Hold up, wait, got a date
Ladies love my speed, quick to run up trees (Yeah)
Who you seen like me? Nobody (It's Boat)
Stayin' in my lane, best friend named Percy
Balance runnin' on rails, I can never fail
Gordon:
So I run (Yeah), keep me up
Creep on me, they speak on me
They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
Speed me up (Speed, yeah)
So I run (Yeah), keep me up
Creep on me, they speak on me
They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
Speed me up (Speed, speed, yeah, ayy)
Connor ft. Gordon:
Speed me up, ayy, speed me up
Don't turn down the base, someone tell the DJ leave me up
They was sleepin' on me, now they see me up, beam me up
Rings on me like Mallard, rings on me like 23
New 911, it gon' speed fast
Tell lil' baby I might hit her up, 'cause she bad
Money hit my phone and now I'm runnin' to the cash, yeah, yeah
Marathon, just like Scottie the great (Yeah)
Spin and dash to the safe, do the dash like Truro
(I'm dealing with this pain, I just can't let you come throw it away Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Flynn:
Don't crash, really go fast
Press on the gas, four hundred my dash
Never come last
Came a long way from the back of my friend's
Since I got racks, I'ma never look back
I'm goin' fast on my way to the bank
Level up, I'm movin' up on my rank
Pedal to metal, I'm winnin' the race, yeah
Gordon
So I run (Yeah, yeah), keep me up
Creep on me, they speak on me
They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
Speed me up (Speed, yeah)
So I run (Yeah), keep me up
Creep on me, they speak on me
They slow down when they bring me up like (Yeah, huh)
Speed me up
Everyone was cheering for Connor, Gator, Flynn and Gordon for the last performance of the show, but none louder than Rainbow Dash, she was whooping and cheering her hardest after seeing that performance, and it even made her cry. After the concert was over, the rest of the group see Gordon and his friends coming towards them, Rainbow then lunged towards Gordon and gave him a huge hug, with Gordon returning the gesture.
Rainbow Dash: That was the most awesome performance I've ever seen in my entire lifetime. How come you didn't tell me you were performing in the concert?
Gordon: Well, I sorta signed me along with my friends before tickets were distributed. I just wanted to surprise you since you're my girlfriend.
Rainbow Dash: Well, consider me surprised. (Kisses his cheek)
Everyone cheered for Gordon for performing for Rainbow Dash, for today, this was truly an awesome day. Let's see how our next couple fairs next time….
