*is highly upset that she got a '1' for her two posts* >: / I disagree. They were at least 2 worthy. *harumph*
C'mon, Holly, we can beat that nasty griffon cheat!

"Says the pony who tried to trip me up earlier!" Holly was taken aback at the griffon's wild accusation. She had done no such thing! "You really think you can talk after that low blow you tried to pull earlier?"
"What in all of Equestria are you talking about?!" ​Holly was flabbergasted at the griffon, but she seemed to completely ignore Holly's accusation, and didn't even seem to notice her attempts to push down the griffon's wings, so she gave up the pull on her magic.
Holly frowned as the griffon cawed down at her, infuriated by the impudent lies. "This race is anything goes as far as I'm concerned."
"You dirty cheat!" she turned away from the griffon, disgusted by her dirty tricks, she turned to the ponies that had escaped the rock slide. Stormsong was near the pile of rubble. Holly ran over the piles of rock and debris to her friend, continuing past the ponies heading in the wrong direction, just to assure herself that her friend was alright. She almost passed out with relief when she saw her long haired friend was alright.
"I'm so glad you're okay," Holly was lightly panting, slowing down had truly given her the breath she needed, and although she had lost her place at the front of the pack, she was determined to at least beat the cheating griffon, "I am SO glad that you're alright, I--I don't know what I'd do if my very first friend was hurt..." she placed a hoof across Stormsong's shoulder, smiling warmly at her, "I'm sorry I left you, but...." She glared up at the griffon, more determined than ever, "I can't let her win."
She reared up, whinnying a battle cry like her ancestors did back in the days before ponies had civilized language. She was ready to run like her ancestors, too. In her imagination, she was free, running wild on the plains and the grass bending under her hooves. Her mane whipped and lashed in the wind, and she excelled past the ponies she had just backtracked too, and flashed past the rockslide site, leaping rocks to her advantage and pushing herself forward, her lungs filled with the rush of a second wind. She may not win this thing, but she wouldn't let that cheater beat her!

wait...what...when did I magically start winning? Holy celestia! O_O!!! *GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP!!!!* lucky Holly!
-
Holly stopped dead on her hooves, turning back. The crashing sounds of the earth alerting her to the actions that she had just buzzed pass. She looked up and saw the brown winged shape in the sky. That stupid griffon! She had challenged her so abruptly, and then ignored her? How dare she! She pawed the earth furiously, and turned around, giving up the spot she had unconsciously gained up near the front of the pack. She barelled back to where some ponies were gathered about where a rock slide had taken place. She looked up to where the rocks had fallen, and saw the griffin that had yowled at her earlier.
"Too busy cheating?!" She called up at the griffon, and her horn glowed brightly, and pushed on the griffon's wings with her magic, a sweat forming on her cheek from the effort, "afraid you won't win if you fight fair?! Lose the wings and quit cheating, squawky!!"
-
"So, that's how you want to play then?" Holly's smile drooped, and she tilted her head in confusion. The griffon seemed to have mistook her for someone, as she was speaking as though to someone she was very angry with. That seemed odd, not many ponies had as colorful of manes as she did. "I know your game. You recognized me as a threat, huh? Now you want to trip me up."
Holly was only even more confused, her ears dropped and her eyes widened in total confusion at the furious, taloned she-griffon. "Well, I'm not going to let that just slide!" Holly was nearly blown away as the griffon screeched into her face, she could almost feel her fur fly out with the force of it all. "I've got my eyes on you! Believe me, if you try anything, you'll regret it..."
Holly was left on her flanks, wide eyed and totally confused, as the griffon jetted off, her wings excelling her forward. She didn't know this griffon, but she'd be darned to pony heck if she was going to let her win too easily. She lifted her rump in the air, her front hooves pawing the ground, "Sorry, Storm--I'll see you at the finish line!"
With a flex of her back, her chest was on the ground, she wagged her tail excitedly before pushing off from the angled ground, and speeding after the griffon, her horn poised forward, slicing through the air at a speed easily rivaling the griffon. She did not care of the other ponies, her eyes were only on the brown shape of the griffon steadily moving towards the front of the pack. The burning in her lungs only pushed her on, and as she panted, it was like applause in her ears.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of weaving through ponies and skirting around trees and corners, she was at the griffon's side. She said nothing, just brought her neck up out of her nose dive and looked at the griffon, grinning smugly before sticking her tongue out and pushing past the stunned she hawk, diving her head down once more, her horn slicing through the wind as she galloped.
-
It would seem that they had caught up a little bit--Holly had pushed her brisk pace onto Stormsong, and had forced herself onward as well, increasing her pace every chance she got even the slightest downward slope beneath her feet, the gravitational pull pushing her pace faster. There was a couple times where she had pulled out past Stormsong in those moments when she let her feet fly down the hill, her tri-colored mane streaking colors behind her as the rolling hills that dove into the Whitetail Woods--where her home and garden were--a territory all too familiar to her.
"WOOOOOOOHOO!" She cried out cheerfully, blazing past ponies in her rush of speed. She closed her eyes as the wind pressed into her eyes, knowing full well the turns of the path, as she had traveled it many times. In her rush, she took a moment to call back to her companion, "C'MON, STORM!!!"
> TTHHRUMP!!! <
Before she knew what hit her, she was brought to a sudden halt as she slammed into a certain--not pony. As the dust settled, it became clear that it was NOT a pony that she had crashed into, but an all-too unhappy GRIFFON. She shook herself, and tried to handle this pleasantly, smiling, hoping that the griffon would take things lightly, "Sorry about that! Y'know how it is when you get those rushes of wind in your face--y'just can't stop!!"
Completely unbeknownst to her, she had just done to the griffon what the griffon had just done to some poor pony--though she did it on accident.

"I um... sure, but... if you wouldn't mind too terribly much... I don't want to get left too far behind." Holly Dash, despite herself, was a little bit flabbergasted by the pony. She was obviously hungry, and nopony she ever knew could ever think of winning a race without something to fuel them onward. Was it something about herself? She looked down at the fruit in her basket--thinking maybe there was something wrong there. No, they were as beautiful as the day they were plucked--no bruises or bugs. She could still taste a bit of their sweet flavor in her mouth. But the mare before her seemed to have already gotten up in her mindless pondering, and she immediately went to follow. Before she knew it, though, the blue unicorn had turned back towards her, as though she had forgotten something.
"Um... my name's Stormsong... and you are?"
Holly smiled and magicked the basket between them, "The name is Holly Dash, it's a pleasure to meet you, Stormsong. I'm a fruit vendor--but I love a good race!! Nopony in Equestria could keep me from participating!" Her voice held the odd accent that came from living in the rough town of Beakbreak all of her life--similar to a griffon's cynical tone, but with the soft melodic note of a gentle pony. She magicked out a berry and munched on it, "But nopony in Equestria is gonna be finishin' this race on an empty stomach! And since I ALWAYS wake up late in the mornin'--I hid this basket here, so I could catch breakfast on the way."
She gave a smile to her fellow unicorn, "Perhaps we could run together? I don't have many pals in Equestria--I know someponies from sellin' on the road, but I haven't been doin' that too terribly long..." She couldn't help the frown that came as she thought of her life before she left Beakbreak. She looked back up to the mare, and returned the smile to her face, "We could be friends, though. If you want."
-
Holly had this all planned out! As she and the ponies that were at pace with her arrived in the apple orchard, she headed off the path towards a specific tree. Hidden in a bush at the base of a tree was a little basket. She pulled it out, and unfolded the blanket off of the top, revealing swollen red strawberries, plump blueberries and a couple of blackberries. While she was all for a good apple, she much preferred the fruit from her cart. She licked her lips and sat down, munching on the berries.
While a few ponies also stopped, most only grabbed an apple and went on their way, a couple stopped and caught their breath, before trotting on and pushing themselves harder. She then noticed a female unicorn--a soft blue in color, settled down. Holly wasn't too far away, so she actually heard the rumble as the other unicorn stared at the apples--of course, not wanting to steal them. She looked back to her own basket of berries. She smiled, and picked it up by the handle, trotting over to the pony she didn't know--Stormsong--and set the basket down, smiling, "Hungry?"
She sat down next to the other female unicorn, glad to offer a hungry pony her pride and joy, and the--literal--fruit of her labors. Although she was a grocer pony, she was always happy to feed a hungry pony, "You can certainly help yourself to some of my fruit. I packed in a little too much." She grinned again, "I'm always glad to feed a hungry pony!"
-
Holly Dash was, initially, hesitant to reenter the city of Ponyville. She kept her distance at first, worried that perhaps the infestation of Parasprite had not taken leave since she was last here to attempt to sell her fruit. It seemed clear enough--the buildings were all in tact and she didn't hear any of the familiar sound of buzzing that the insects made. She trotted into town with wide eyes-scanning the place for any sign of the bugs. Last time she had nearly lost all of the fruit in her cart. It was a peaceful day, not much about.
She picked up her pace to a more cheerful jaunt, and managed to make a couple sales as she trotted along, before catching site of an elder pony with two younger ponies--she knew one of the ponies to be Applejack--tales of the six elements of harmony had reached even the outcast peaks of Beakbreak, and when she had been here last she had seen them--but had not been able to speak to them, panicking at the bugs and leaving town without even a single sale.
She plodded towards the three ponies, and just as she neared, Applejack headed off. She resisted the urge to frown, and since she had now been noticed by the elderly pony and the one younger, she could not get off with an aversion.
They looked almost ready to follow Applejack as she arrived, "Greetings Ponyville citizens!" She said pleasantly, a friendly smile wide on her face, "Any interest in getting your hooves on the BEST fruit in Ponyville?"
-
What a glorious day it was! A glorious day for a race, especially. It was not her forte, to say the least, but Holly Dash had something in her that just couldn't resist a race! Maybe it was the little ounce of 'Dash' that she had in her. She wasn't a slow pony to say the least--there were times where she'd travel between towns in her cart in half the time that it took some other travelin' ponies she knew. Her number was plastered over her cutie mark and she was rarin' to go!
She jogged in place lightly on her hooves, impatiently watching the ponies around her gather, the balloon rise into the air, filled with hot air. She had heard tales of the running of the leaves back home in Beakbreak, but it was something all too different to actually be here. Her whole body was practically pulsing with excitement!
Somepony with a thicker build budged past her, grunting as he did so, and flashing her a nasty look. She frowned, and stuck her tongue out at the bully of a stallion.
"GO!!!"
The shout caught her off-guard, and before she knew it, everypony else had passed her by, and she was left coughing in the dust.
"Ugh! *hack hack* that no good *cough* stupid *hack* son of a donkey!" she reared up and pawed the air with her hooves in a fury, before stampeding after the variously colored rear ends of all the ponies passed. She found the hindquarters of the stallion who had shoved her, and picked up her pace, smashing into his shoulder and pushing him aside before rushing past him, and settling into pace at about the middle of the runners--not rushing to the front, but not doing the 'pace yourself' routine at the rear of the pack. She was pacing herself, of course, but in her own way.
With a grin on her face, she ran on light hooves. She was gonna win this thing!

Section 6 - Sappy Situation
in Running Of The Leaves 2011!
Posted
Holly slowed her pace as she entered the sweet-smelling wood. The trees smelt so wonderful here! It gave her a craving for pancakes. With whip cream and strawberries and blueberries and...her mouth was watering at the thought of all that deliciousness. But that didn't keep her from keeping an eye on the sticky ground. She trotted along cheerfully, watching out for sticky puddles of goo, and hopping over the ones unavoidable. She then heard a racket.
"Come.... on.... Swift... Breeze..."
She looked over to see a male pegasus pony, stuck in the sap. She could not bring herself to simply walk by when somepony needed help. She hesitated only a second before trotting over to the pegasus pony.
"Quite a sticky situation you got yurself in, huh?" she asked humorously, smiling widely as she eyed the points where he was stuck, being careful not to go into the sap herself, "Lemme help you outta there, pal!"
She powered up her horn, and lifted the pegasus pony with some effort, biting her lip as she concentrated. She pulled this way and that--the sap stretched taut, but did not snap. She frowned, and began trotting away, still holding the male as she walked, the sap began to snap in places. Until finally, with one final yank from her horn, he was sent sprawling free. Unfortunately, Holly had been tugging towards herself, and the pegasus was sent crashing on top of her. Luckily enough, they didn't land in another pond of sap.
She chuckled and smiled at the pegasus pony, a total stranger, crashed on top of her, "Well...Lucky I came along, huh?" She laughed, "My name's Holly. Holly Dash. Nice to meetcha!"
