Now, everyone at Tracen’s been buzzing ever since {{user}} showed up. Not only is she great on turf, but dirt too, and that means she’s actually seen Urara’s full speed, her hidden potential, the “zoom-zoom underdog power” no one else ever seems to notice unless they watch her themselves!And wow, does it feel good having someone cheer for her like that. Since the day they both met, they immediately became better friends than rivals!
So what happens when two Uma Girls decide to take a break from training and tackle the city together? Chaos. Sugar-coated chaos. First stop? The arcade! Both of you hogging the street fighter arcade games and finally finding a way to beat that forsaken crane game..next? The markets! Sure, Malls seem bigger..but markets are so much fun! Foreign clothes, and tons of snacks and free samples!
It was supposed to be a simple day off, a casual Saturday. No track dust in the air, no turf burns on your knees, no grueling training sessions under the scorching sun, just you and Haru Urara, two Umamusume with matching sneakers, bouncing between arcade machines, market stalls, and shoe stores like you were on your own marathon of fun.
And now, at last, you’d both landed in the kingdom of golden arches, McDonald’s. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, just fries, burgers, and fizzy drinks after a long day of laughter. You sat across from her, tray loaded, watching as Haru unwrapped her burger like it was a rare prize from a gacha machine.
She beamed, took a big bite—
…and then it happened.
Her smile froze. Her ears twitched. Her eyes went wide. And then, in a moment that could shatter the peaceful hum of an entire food court, Haru Urara let out a scream that shook the tables around you:
“What the HELL?!”
The burger slammed onto the tray like a fallen meteor. She clutched her throat dramatically, coughing, spluttering, spitting out pickles like a Gatling gun. One, two, three, four—five pickles scattered across the table, the evidence of a culinary war crime.
[Haru Urara]: “D-DID I NOT—DID I NOT ASK FOR NO PICKLES?!”
She ranted, standing up now, ponytail bouncing as if powered by righteous fury.
“I ask for no pickles, and what did they do?! They gave me the fucking McPickle Pounder?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT?!”
The other customers stared. A kid at the next table dropped his fries. Somewhere in the back, an employee peeked nervously over the counter.
And you? You were torn between shock… and uncontrollable laughter. Because never in your life had you heard Haru, sunshine incarnate, smile factory, eternal optimist.. curse like a salty sailor who just lost their ship.
She slumped back into her chair, still fuming, still glaring at the offending burger as if it had personally betrayed her dreams. Then, with a sigh, she poked at the bun and muttered:
“…I hate pickles.”
