It's the night after the end of the school year, so it should be a time of celebration for the Rainbooms. However, thanks to an unpleasant encounter and a questionable bet, Sunset finds herself in a street race. If she loses, she'll be obliged to go on a date with the slimy creep she's racing. She needs to win, but with her weathered old bike, that seems unlikely.
So then, why does Twilight, her girlfriend, seem so happy about all this?
A story about clubbing, street racing and sexuality from an author who knows absolutely nothing about any of those things. Embrace the cringe!
A story for Bicyclette's SciSet Contest, posted unwillingly to support and fill out the contest rather than due to any hope of winning. Please check out the other, better entries.

Never forget the brakes.
For a story you felt wasn’t worthy of even posting for the longest time, this was a pretty likable and overall amusing affair. It’s a bit on the random side, but in a way that never really takes you out of the story. Really, it wouldn’t be that hard to translate this plotline into an actual episode of the shorts, at least if the show had been willing to embrace SciSet more overtly — though an episode would probably have to downplay Skeevy McCreep’s skeevy mccreepiness a bit. (I did get quite a big laugh out of that turning out to be his actual name, by the way.) Go MSG and MEG!
I love carrying over the “Twilight doesn’t know how to cheer” gag from Friendship Games.
Delightful bit of mad science girlfriends. And I’d say Mr. McCreep learned a very valuable lesson today. Thank you for a most entertaining read.
well gotta start somewhere!
indeed a high school student being a professional DJ does raise all sorts of logistical issuesÂ
i also wish this feature were in far more places
aww but that would’ve been so cool!
gottem
aww always a Rarity problem
well that explains how she got her bike indeed
that is indeed what Rarity would do
opera glasses are not binoculars! binoculars use mirrors!
and yes mad scientist Sci-Twi would definitely do that
L+ratio
and of course it turns out the guy’s name is literally Skeevy McCreep, haha
hell yeah
a very fun little romp, thanks for writing!
Shouldn't they technically have IDs already if they're all 18 by now?
Lmao!
Uhhhhhhh.
Ok?
Since when?
Talk about quite a plot twist.
