"Come on, Flitter!" Cloudchaser called behind her, the mare's eyes thanking her for turning away from the wind. "Are you stopping to get a snack or something?" The wild-maned pegasus searched the air behind her, trying to find her sister. Her gaze dropped to the ground, and she spotted Flitter, crumpled in a ball at the foot of a tree. With a small yelp of shock, the pegasus immediately launched herself into a dive, landing next to her sister within seconds.

"Oh my gosh, Flitter, are you okay?" The mare knelt down next to her sister, her hoof gently brushing a bleeding laceration on the crown of the purple mare's head. "You're bleeding."

"I'm fine, sis," Flitter answered, looking up. Her eyes were slightly glazed, and her voice was lilting. "Come on, let's finish the race." The injured pegasus struggled to stand, and had to be helped by her sister.

"No, Flitter," Cloudchaser asserted, her hair becoming even more hectic as a strong draft of wind following a pegasi broadsided her. "You're hurt."

"I don't care!" Flitter said, stumbling forward. "I want to win!" The injured pegasus began a hobbling take-off run forward, and promptly fell on her face.

Cloudchaser rushed over. "Flitter? Are you okay?"

The injured pegasus turned her face to her sister, who found it to be streaked with tears. "I wanna finish, sis," Flitter choked out. "I wanna finish."

Cloudchaser playfully rolled her eyes and smiled. "Come on, Flits," She said, helping her sister up. "Let's get to the end. Together."

Cloudchaser helped her sister take to the skies again, the two slowly coasting towards the finish line. Upon approach, they began to hear a continuous sound of cheering.

They crossed the finish line to a crowd full of congratulatory ponies.

Flitter had reached the end.
