Unfortunately he's kind of just going to continue to half-sit on her. At least he's not too heavy.
Unfortunately, it also doesn't look like the A.A. has turned around or wishes to do so anytime soon. So uh, yeah.
At some point, the Mamba does open his candy and chew on it.

"C-candy!"
The Cheetah resumed her moving around, mostly useless by then probably. Her face flushed a bit from the effort maybe.
Offline
The Mamba just plops down further and doesn't move.
This would look very weird for a bystander, the narrator is beginning to realize as they visualize this more and more in their mind.
Offline
Good thing there's no bystanders, right?
Finally, she gave up and sprawled on the ground.
At least her body is strong enough to resist the Mamba's weight and not get crushed or something lol.

Coming? the A.A.'s telepathic voice comes eventually, very drily. The voice itself has absolutely nothing special about it, not even an echo-y quality some report to get with telepathic voices.
Offline
"Hey Mamba, we going?"
Offline
The Mamba jumps up.
Thought so.
Offline
The Cheetah sat up and then stood fully. She brushed her clothes quickly before looking in the direction the A.A. had gone.
Offline
The A.A. is out of sight, literally and literally. They're not visible and they're very far away.
"Aww, they ditched us," the Mamba complains but takes off running anyways.
Offline
"A'ight, I'm beating you for sure this time!" The Cheetah began her sprint again.
Offline
"bEt," the Mamba shouts.
In any case, at some point they actually overtake the A.A., but they just keep going.
Offline
Not like the Cheetah cares a lot, but if she were actually a bit more concentrated she might have a bit of reason.
Offline
Wrong way, the A.A. informs them. 3 minutes after they've gone the wrong way, of course--as in, they didn't take a turn when they were supposed to.
Offline
"Really!?" The Cheetah stopped, nearly falling over from the abruptness. "Where to, then?"
Offline
Back. Right, the A.A. instructs, but the Mamba took off before they finished.
Offline
At least this time she had a bit more sense and waited to hear the instructions. Then she was off in an instant.
Offline
The A.A. waits for them.
Offline
She's still trying to beat her companion.

So is the Mamba, just in reverse.
Stop, says the A.A. as soon as the pair barrels past them.
Offline
The Cheetah flipped around on her heel and (for once) managed to stop running flawlessly.
Offline
Sadly, the narrator can't say the same for the Mamba, who continues running and mostly just flops on his stomach on the ground.
He doesn't think it hurts a lot, though (even though it probably did). He just points at a point in the ground. "You didn't cross the finish line!" he exclaims to the Cheetah.
Offline
"But I obeyed the order, aaaand I didn't fall down!"
Offline
"I crossed the finish line!" he exclaims.
Offline
"Still not good enough! No agreed finished line!"
Offline
"We never agree to a finish line!"
The A.A. is waiting. Patiently.
Offline
((Bless the A.A.'s patience lol))
"The race stopped when we were ordered to! And since I stopped first, I won."
Offline
"You never said that before! So I won!"
Uh, what?
(The A.A.'s patience honestly surpasses the power of the deities lmiao)
Offline
((It also beats some of the deities' patience lol))
"Let's declare it a tie or something, and let's race again next time, but with an actual finish line, and then it will count, but only then!"
Offline
"No! Ties are boring!" protests the Mamba.
Offline
"Then no tie! No points!"
