Prompt #22: “Taking It Slow”

sextyminuteponies:

Hey! You should already know who I am, but just in case you’ve been living on a rock farm, I’m Rainbow Dash, future Wonderbolt and the fastest thing on two wings! There’s not a race I can’t win or a record I can’t beat when I put my mind to it and give 120 percent!

But I’ve got a secret. You gotta promise you won’t tell anypony about this, or my reputation will be ruined! You do promise, right?

Alright, here’s the deal: sometimes, I don’t want to win. Sometimes, I like to trail behind. You might think that’s crazy – heck, I think that’s crazy – but once in a while, there are benefits to going at a gentler pace…

The Prompt: Rainbow Dash comes in last.

This is a 60-minute writing prompt. You have 60 minutes in which to write your story, and you have 36 hours from the time of this posting in which to submit your story. Submissions are open for all of Tuesday and Wednesday. The prompt will end at 11:59PM Pacific on Wednesday, which is 2:59AM Eastern and 7:59AM GMT. Make sure you read our rules as well as our post on consent before you start writing. If Tumblr gives you trouble or you don’t have an account, you can also submit your story to us by emailing to sextyminuteponies@gmail.com.

Aww, yeah, this is a prompt I’ve wanted to do for a while.
