Babysitting wild Wonderbolts with Spitfire.... What could go wrong? From a paying a crash bill, to a babysitting job, to a game of hide and go seek. I would think of it as hanging with my heroes, but watching them! Along with Spitfire! This is going to be a CRAZY day!
(Rated teen just for a little implying of bad language, nothing major)
Being the captain of Equestria's most renowned aerobatics team is a stressful, and sometimes thankless, job. Her joints ache; her muscles are taut; her mind reels from the sheer responsibility. But, like any professional, Spitfire takes it all in stride with a grin.
That is, until a certain rainbow-maned mare started mouthing off. Being accused of 'Camera Hogging' was the final straw. Spitfire finally lost her temper, dumping every ounce of that responsibility on an unwitting rookie and leaving for a single day of respite.
This story details her day of (mostly) relaxation.
(A/N: Spitfire's Day Off is a side-story to Blitz, taking place parallel to "A Very Long Day" chapter arc.)
