Skateboarding is all about rhythm and balance. Thunder has both--until a schoolyard bully upends his life and steals the one sacred spot he can claim as his: the local skate park.

If he wants to get rid of her, he'll have to help her find balance of her own. Falling off a board hurts, but helping someone you hate hurts even more.

A story about tenderpunks, sk8rtrash, and building fragile things that last.

Well this was a very interesting story of zoom and Thunder before they became the royal guard and not only that they finally got themselves a tag name I like those guys so at first these two do not like each other during the school years and whoever thought that Thunder actually likes skating and zoom likes to fly kites well I got to guess it's like a replacement of feeling like they were flying ever since they lost their magic to fly still I like it this was a pretty good one keep up the good work

will there be a sequel after this, Bandy?

We need more Zoom and Thunder, so this is awesome to see. Making something with them at the moment, myself. Great job! Spreading the word about cute pegasi in helmets

CUTE

WELL STRUCTURED, WELL PACED, JUST SOLID STORYTELLING

FELT LIKE I WAS READING LIKE, BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE OR SOMETHING, IN A GOOD WAY

GOOD JOB :heart:

Awww, this is very cute

Not bad. I clicked on the story because of the cute cover art. NGL you used a ton of page breaks; those really interrupted the story's flow. Still cute tho. Take my like.

11196772 hey I'm a fan of yours! I'm very flattered you're reading my fic. Can't wait to hear it once it goes live :twilightsmile:

This story feels alive despite how short it is. I felt something stirring emotionally when you wrote the more heavier topic in this seamlessly. The relatively hidden park felt magical, too. I also have a feeling the chapter title is an inspiration from musician Vylet Pony's 'Non-existent Meet Cute'.

You have made a breathing and magical world in a single chapter. Nice work, Wordsmith!

I’d never thought twice about those Guard characters after seeing the movie … but now that I’ve read this, I wanna read more about their time together. But only if you’re the one writing it. :twilightsmile:

This a very nice story. The way it's told is not out of the way from the show. The characters are fleshed out and pleasure to read. And the names of the places are so creative (and funny). I love it.

This was adorable and epic and I want more!!!

So, with his ballcap cocked at just the right angle to block the sun and look maximally cool

That's very important!

Hotspot, along with his mom Songful, sat around in meaningful silence and devoured their dinners the traditional pegasus way: fast.

:rainbowdetermined2:: "I'm glad to see at least some pegasus traditions survived!

With the headphones blasting equal parts “Resident Medieval IV: Zompony Castle” and Sk8 Trash Meet Cute

The latter was so loud it even blasted into the chapter title.

The actual grind itself was a split second of pure gutless panic, then his wheels hit the ground. His knees bent automatically to catch the shock. He felt himself shift left. His wings compensated and flared right. The pavement leered beneath him, tiny stones waiting to tear at his skin should he fall.
But he didn’t. He rolled halfway to the skatepark on the momentum of the grind before coming to a stop.

The tiny stones: "You got lucky this time. But one day you will fall. And once you do we will be there, waiting for you."

Zephyr Heights, formerly a city of clouds, was unceremoniously converted into a city of escalators.

That went better than someone might expect...

He wrapped a hoof around his board, ready to spirit himself away at a moment’s notice. “Please?”
This time, she said yes.

It's a start.


Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
