The Fast and the Furriest

Title card.

**The Fast and the Furriest** will be the first part of the twenty-fifth episode of the second season of LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Living the Pony Life. Along with "Disappearing Act", it was paired with "Cole and a Quillcat" and "Pet Ownership".

## Synopsis

**Teletoon**: *Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash get over-competitive as their and their friends' pets take part in a go-cart race.*

## Plot

While having lunch together, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash get competitive over who ate the fastest, which was witnessed by Kai and Lloyd, who dislike being winning fair and square. This competitiveness between them carries over into the Maplewood Motor Match, a go-cart race between the Ninja and the Mane Six's pets for which their owners serve as pit crew. Racer Seven already heard about the Maplewood Motor Match, but she realised that Cole doesn't have a pet, unlike the others. Despite their friends' focus on having fun, Twilight and Rainbow are determined to have their respective pets Owlowiscious and Tank win.

Once the go-carts are built, the race begins. Due to over-competitiveness between Owlowiscious and Tank, they force their way past the other pets, causing Angel, Opalescence, Gummy, Winona, Akita, Phil, Miku, Hamsie and Vixen to crash in a four-cart pileup. Before they cross the finish line, Owlowiscious and Tank notice their fellow pets' predicament and turn around to help, and Twilight and Rainbow's friends admonish them for getting carried away in their competitiveness.

With their owners' support, Owlowiscious and Tank carry the weight of the other pets' go-carts so that all six of them can cross the finish line together. At the race's conclusion, Twilight and Rainbow Dash admit to letting competition get the better of them. Meanwhile, Fluttershy notices in the race's photo finish that Angel's go-cart actually crossed the finish line first.
