"You can do it Fluff. It's soo close!" Ace coaxed, leanig forward as they got closer and closer to the finish line. The two were stuck in third for awhile, with Riley speeding ahead and Inadi neck and neck. "C'mon Dipper! You don't want to see the rear ends of these birdies do you?" Being as motivated as Ace made the Chocobo realize that being in this was the last place he wanted to be. He doesn't need the others taunting and teasing him about the loss. So with haste,  Dipper sped forward, surprising Ace. She managed to hold tight to the reins in order not to fall off. She had enough falls and tosses to the ground to know that the ground hurt. She grinned when she saw the Tiger and Wolf racing past. It was no doubt that the two would beat the birds, but that didn't matter. What mattered was them getting to the front of the line. The new found determination had them leading the way too. "Alright Fluff! You can do it!" She cheered and received a kwehing response. 

Even with all concentration dhe could muster, Ace was still bound to get distracted by something. At that moment, that something turned out to be seeing Riley make a swift turn off course. "Riley,  you're gong the wrong way!" She laughed and her and her partner continued with the race. She and Dipper caught Riley's fall and winced a little. She was about to yelp out, but a screaming pink blur raced past her. "Whoa! No way!" She laughed and picked up the pace. It seemed Lesley found a way to get a move on and it was doing the duo justice too. It was the last stretch and Ace and Dipper were only so far behind first place. But it seemed as though the two weren't going to make it. 

Lesley took the spot and Ace was right behind her- him- Ace finished in second place. Though, even as it ended, Spider was still running... right into the guides. "Stop!" She pulled the reins and laughed as they stopped a sudden collision into the wolf. "We were so close! But, that was awesome anyway! Good job Fluff." She jumped off, letting Dipper catch a break. "You did good." The bird chirped and nudged his head against her. Ace laughed and patted the bird lightly, then looked at the other two with a grin. "Good game! Next time, me and Fluff will be in first place no doubt!" She nodded at Riley's comment and then leaned against Dipper as the two guides are given a question. 

"We should hurry and get there! I can't wait to see some real dragons."
