Roxy smiled and gave a small laugh. "Thanks! I love the plains too. So, should we wait for the rain to stop, or should we just go ahead?" She asked, swishing her blood-red tail.

Nova shook her head in an indecisve gesture. "Hm...we may as well just begin now. Actuallly-Deltora..." she said and looked up to her friend.
Deltora was flying about, obviously chock full of energy. Nova chuckled.

Roxy nodded, and then too looked up to Deltora, who was currently doing all kinds of loops in the sky. She laughed at her leader's energy.

((-.-; The spotlight is on Deltora.  )) The black WU swooped through the air,winding about in spirals and circles. Once his friends came into view, the stallion soared over and dropped gently to the ground. He grinned at the mares. "So, what's happening?" He inquired playfully. |

[xD]
Roxy smiled, and looked to Nova, indicating she should answer.
[Sorry! ^^; I have Writer's Block, and I don't really know what Nova meant when she said, "Actually-Deltora..."]

((She meant they should wait for him. -.-  ) Nova smiled. "Nothing much. We're just about to begin a race. Don't worry, we were waiting for you." The stallion stamped a hoof and chuckled,"You better have been waiting for me! You know I love to race. So--when shall we begin?" The white WU ruffled her wings and mane, then stretched each leg. "I imagine you should give us the signal, being your leader. Roxy can decide the route of the course. Will you, Roxy?" The mare questioned, her white tail swaying in the gentle breeze. |

The white Unicorn smiled, and breifly dipped her head. "Of course." Roxy turned, and motioned to the plains with her black, pearly horn. "We will run across the plains, through the woods on the other side, but before we reach StormHerd territory, we will turn, and follow the river. Then we loop back around the woods, and come all the way back. First one to reach this tree wins." Roxy explained,motioning to an Oak tree behind them.
[Oh. ^^;]

"Ooh, I like your taste, Roxy. I'd probaby pick something closer to the stream, but hey, I really like that trail. Have to remember that." She pawed the ground, swaying her head from side to side in a steady rythym (sp?!?!).
Deltora smiled. "Looks like a challenge. Well, not for me, of course." ((*cracks up* *rofl*)) He was interuppted by a sneeze from Nova. The black stallion rolled his eyes and conitnued. "I'd be happy to gallop through that course. In your places, everyone." The horses trotted into an even line, feeling eager to begin. ((sorry if I was somewhat using Roxy then... >.< I have a really funny part I wanna type that has to come after that.))
Deltora grinned mischeviously. "Okay. On three...THREE!" the stallion began to run, but was brought back by an angry snort from Nova. He chuckled. "Fine, fine. Anyhoo. I hope y'all know Spanish, 'cause...ANDALE!" He cried, speeding off. ((^^ xDD))
Nova sniffed. "See, that's why he loses."

[lol. xD That's fine.]
Roxy laughed, and lept forward after Deltora. The rain had died down a bit, but was still at it. Roxy's white body stood out in the dark landscape like a ghost, and her black horn was just barley visable. She galloped faster, soon passing Deltora, taking the lead.

Roxy whinnied softly and poked the ground. Suddenly, she sped off, easily catching up to Deltora. Her white hooves pounded on the lush grass, and her body inched forward to Roxy. Nova opened her wings, careful not to hit Roxy, and glided, two inches above ground. She hung her head to get a small bit of rest, then alighted on the ground. This time, she was a few yards ahead of Roxy, making her way towards the stream.
Deltora narrowed his eyes, his muscles pulsing. He galloped forward, breath coming out in determined spurts. His tail stood straight out in the wind, and his mane flipped around his neck. Soon, he was only a few inches away from Roxy.

[You called Nova Roxy in the beggining. xD I saw you wave behind the curtains last night! I was expecting Maia to do it. lol]
Roxy smiled and called, "Hey, no flying! That's not fair!" and she galloped faster, pushing hard off the ground, the wind tangled her mane, and her tail streamed wildly behind her. Roxy's rose colored pools stared intently at the nearing forest, and with a grunt of effort, she lept foreward, seeming to fly for a moment, and passed Nova.

((Uh...Nova isn't really flying...she's going at the same pace she was before, but just resting her legs...it's one of her habits. Oh, ya saw me?  That was fun. Actually, the whole play was fun. Actually, the practices were fun. Actually, the afterparty was fun. Actually...the WHOLE THING was AWESOME!!!!!! ^^ I can't wait to do another play! I'll PM you details of the after party. *lol* Being Card 3 of Alice in Wonderland was a memorable experience... *sigh*)) Nova whinnied, "Not really flying...but hey." She slowed down for a moment, regaining power, then shot forward, overtaking Roxy by a few feet. Deltora neighed. He had to win this race! Not because it really mattered much, but he was just so determined, competitive, and what not... "Well, here goes." He grunted. The black stallion cantered forward until he was flanking Roxy. Suddenly, he pushed off with his hind legs, seeming to fly. His wings were folded back so not to actually glide, but to give him more speed against the wind. Soon, his forehooves met land, and his tail was just past Roxy's muzzle. |

[Oh, well anyway...xD]
Roxy gasped, but suddenly got an idea as she entered the enterance of the woods. She weaved in and out of trees, over logs, under branches. Everbody knew that Roxy had the most endurance of everyone in their herd, and easily increased her speed when avoiding obsticals.
Roxy was now along side Deltora, only spread out. She lept over a fallen oak tree just as easily as jumping a stick, and passed Deltora with no effort. She ducked under a low branch, getting a small stick stuck in her mane. (xD) Roxy shook her head, her voleumes of blood-red hair flowing out around her arched, elegant neck.
Deltora was now at least 10 meters behind Roxy, and she just kept increasing her speed. The Unicorn swerved around another tree, and was now galloping beside Nova. Roxy whinnied, and a great, rotting tree blocked their path not far ahead. With a grunt of effort, Roxy bunched her musles, and lept higher than ever before.
This time, instead of leaping the entire tree, Roxy touched her forelegs, and then backlegs to the tree, landing breifly atop it before pushing off agin, and soaring thruogh the air, taking the lead once more. Roxy landed gracefully on the other side, and continued to run, just not so fast so that she could keep her strength.
The river came into veiw beyond some trees and brambles ahead of Roxy. It loud roaring could be heard as the Unicorn neared it. She smiled inwardly, and made a sharp turn, just before she came to the edge of the riverbank, and ran along-side it. The warm, summer wind whipped against Roxy's sleek body, and combed thruogh her rose-red hair.
[^^ *wipes forehead* lol, I have the oppisite of Writer's Block again!]

((Can Nova win?))
Nova smirked. Now was her chance. Most everyone thought that Deltora, the magnificent leader, was the swiftest of them all, but Nova, who was probably considered lead mare. actually was. She was storing her energy until she came back to the fallen tree closest to the river. Then,s he would go as fast as she could manage. The white mare thundered past the tree, easily taking Roxy. She stayed at the same pace of her friend. Suddenly, she leapt a few yards.
Her dainty hooves alighted a few feet from the river. She thrust herself forward, halting at the lake. She rested, her tail swaying, her chest moving quickly. Nova took in a deep breath and let it out with a loud snort. She lowered her head to lap up some of the clear liquid. A silver fish swished past her tongue, barely missing becoming lunch. ((xD))
The white winged-unicorn lifted up her head and shook her mane, the white strands ticxkling her slender neck. She sighed and turned, hooves bouncing.
Deltora came closer to his goal, black hooves pounding against the lush grass. He greatly desired to win, but suddenly, that wish startened to lessen. All he wanted was to become accustomed to his territory. He moved is head to stare at the pine trees to his right. They seemed to never end...
The black stallion whinnied, then pranced forward. His nostrils flaring, he galloped to Roxy and kept his pace a few feet in front of her.
Nova pushed off, speeding past Deltora. She flirtatiously swept her tail in his face, winking. The mare padded up to the fallen oak at increasing speed, legs pushing. Nova jumped onto the log, pausing to put all of her feet on it and push off, a traditional trick she had seen many experienced horses of her past use. She sighed and soared through the air, the wind teasing her ears. Nova's forehooves stretched out in front of her, prepared for landing.
Her white hooves landed lightly on the grass. With one satisfied shake of her head, she ran off, quickly taking the lead.
Deltora snorted and advanced forward, looking forward to a drink from the lake.
((Opposite of writer's block. ^^))

[lol, (dad's computer again) I had Roxy do the same thing with the log a few posts back, xD]
Roxy smiled, that's what she was hoping they'd do. She suddenly lept' forward, pushing hard off the ground with powerful hindquarters, and swiftly blew by Deltora. [xD] Her blood red mane whipped in the air, and her ruby eyes sparkled.
Roxy did not stop to gt a drink like the other's, for Unicorn's could go for days without water. She had only tired a little bit, but still had more than enough strength and determination left in her. Roxy kicked up soft earth behind her as she ran. The mare was now about a good 15 meters ahead of Deltora, and gaining speed.
Because Nova had stopped to get a drink, Roxy had gained much closer to her than she had been before. She co9uld now make out Nova's coat not to far ahead, and Roxy sped on, power and determination tearing through her like wildfire. She knew that Nova had begun to tire, but still had much strength left in her.
Roxy swerved through a narrow space between two lean trees, and ducked under a low branch. She had not yet reached her top speed, although she was beginning to et close. As she hit a patch of sunlight, her snow-white coat shone almost as brightly as the Sun itself. Roxy was now about a yard behind Nova, and the end of the Forest was coming into view.
Roxy thrust herself forward with a grunt of effort, passing Nova, and breaking through the lining of trees. The horses were now on open terrain again, with Roxy in the lead once more.
