When Sky Stinger comes to Rainbow Dash for help with Vapor Trail, she figures it has to be better than paperwork, right?

The help that Vapor Trail actually needs might test that theory.


Expanded from my entry in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Pegasus Contest. Many thanks to Shaslan and my fellow contest entrants for the feedback that helped make this story better!

Also an entry in the 2024 Wonderbolts site contest.

Nice. Closure!

This was nice. Would have liked a bit more Zephyr tho, maybe a small scene at the end where he stumbles into a new crush and falls for her immediately to comedic effect, idk, this story was good but it could have definitely used something... more? I don't really have the words to describe.

It's like something's missing to really make this oneshot great, instead its just good.

Still cute ;) :rainbowkiss:

This was fantastic, a great story for closure!

I'd have preferred if Rainbow smacked Zephyr upside the head first, but maybe that would've been too harsh.

The ending everypony deserves!

This feels like a really great closure, Wordsmith! Awesome writing!

this is kinda what we needed to see happen on screen, if it had zephyr probably wouldn't have been such a hated character

Oh hi. :)

This was a cute little one-shot. In Rainbow Dash and Zephyr, we see two different himbo varieties, which is always enjoyable. Honestly, I think the thing I like the most about their dynamic is that while they're both very different in personality, they're also kind of the same in terms of sheer cluelessness. Seeing RD realize that Zephyr's never gonna let it go if she doesn't VERY CLEARLY say something is a great lose end to tie up.

It would have been cool to see a little more on Vapor's new mane style, at least in description even if not specifically a scene with her and Zephyr. But overall, this was a sweet little slice of life.
