[misterbrief]

[It's been a few days since Father's Day. And he got a really nice surprise from his daughter that he never thought possible. Bulla training and honing her skills and power, it really meant something to him; so he's flipping his journal open now since Luceti played a large part of it. He's not even angry this time.]

It's come to my attention that a good number of you had a hand in the gift I received over the weekend. I will say I'm impressed- the lot of you have done the impossible with my daughter Bulla and it most certainly paid off. So for that...[His voice trails off, since saying these sorts of things isn't exactly natural to him.] For that I am grateful. I know a good portion of the time we are safe inside this barrier, but you must understand that I worry for her safety regardless.

So I suppose this is the part where I ask something else not so specific. The gift I received was for your Earthling holiday Father's Day. I've never put much stock in such things, but this last weekend certainly has changed my mind about it a little. Is this something you also observe in your own worlds? And if so, what is it that you've done or would do that you would consider worthy of your father?

Technically mouth would've worked just fine, but hey, I'll give you an A for effort.

[At any rate, Dash makes haste in hurrying to the southern part of the village, per expectation. Her sheer speed leaves a very colorful streak in the sky, as a matter of fact!]

I ACTUALLY LOOKED ALL OF THIS UP FOR FACT'S SAKE X.X

[misterbrief]

I never know with you ponies. [He's learning slowly. He dreads the day 'anypony' gets slipped into his vocabulary on accident. He'd never consciously say it.]

[Either way, he meets Dash right where he'd said he would, flying over there himself, a blue streak through the air as he plants himself down at the appointed spot.]

Alright then. The circumference of the barrier is roughly five-hundred miles, plus the one-hundred it would take you to get to the edge and back to here. Let's see how fast you can fly it in, pony.

[If she can move as fast as she claims, he expects her back at the starting point no slower than forty minutes for mach one, and even faster for higher speeds. No less than three minutes for mach ten.]

[wannabolt]

[Uh... wow, this guy sure has his egghead stuff down. Dash takes a few moments to star, slightly dumbfounded, before her usual cocky grin crosses her lips, and she starts beating her wings.]

Ha! Just remember that the power cap's holding me back from showing you my real speed... but I think I can still blow you away.

[And, just like that, she takes off with a flash of color, rattling any nearby trees as she zips past them. It'll probably take her around that forty minutes to make it back, but Dash isn't complaining; as far as she's concerned, she's a speed machine!]

[misterbrief]

[He watches her go. And waits patiently for her return, though nearing the forty minute mark his foot is starting to tap furiously. That is, until she returns, which is met with a sly grin.]

Well, I must say, you certainly showed me what fast really is. [He is not being serious, not in the slightest. He can admit however that she can fly pretty fast, and by that judgement at rates similar to some people he knows back at home.] You really think that's faster than a Saiyan warrior elite? Hah. I'm afraid you haven't seen real speed.

[wannabolt]

[Did he just... insult her speed?

Oh, he did not.

Just like that, RD's face crinkles up into a scowl. Her ears fold back, and she has to take a deep breath to avoid snapping.]

It's this stupid power cap! That's what's holding me back. And I bet you anything that you couldn't do much better.

[Huff, huff. Fume, fume.]

[misterbrief]

Blame it all you want on the power cap, but that still doesn't mean that you know real speed at all. Let me show you. [He's not going to fly around the enclosure though. Instead, he disappears before her very eyes. And when she finds him, she'll discover he's standing right behind her.]

[wannabolt]

[Dash's eyes widen when he disappears, and she takes a look around. It takes a few moments for her to realize he's moved behind her, and when she does, she shoots back.]

How'd you-- are you sure you didn't just use some magic to disappear?

[misterbrief]

It's no magic. It's simply the abilities the warriors of my world possess. My wife likes to put it as 'popping out of thin air'. And even under the power cap we can move at faster than light speeds. Here I was getting the impression you could do that too. I guess not.

[wannabolt]

Faster than light...

[Dash gulps. How's she supposed to compete with that?

Well... Ha. No need to appear flaky!]

Then I guess I'll just have to keep pushing myself harder. Just watch. Sooner or later, I'll be shooting across this village at twice the speed of light! No, three times!

[misterbrief]

Three? Really? Well, when you're able to achieve such speeds, why don't you let me know. Perhaps then we'll have a race of sorts. That sounds fun, wouldn't you say?

[wannabolt]

Ha, just you wait! As soon as I break light speed, you'll be the first to know.
