Wind Rider has been stripped of his Wonderbolt's status; all his accomplishments left in the dust of the great Rainbow Dash. Now he'll spend the rest of his days reminiscing over when he was the idol of young pegasi all over Equestria. But when he meets the pony who inspired him to become a Wonderbolt though, he gains a new perspective.

This was pretty good. An interesting premise with a good execution. You got in some good moments, and got it within your word limit without it feeling rushed. My only issues with it would be the occasional mechanical errors and a minor bit of questionable characterization, but these were so trivial that they hardly diminish the final product. Well done overall!

Thank you for the kind words!
that does sound like a Wind Rider reaction, that smug jerk!
ah classic LD
gottem
dang Flash Magnus, Lightning Dust has a family! i mean, i’m pretty sure!
gottem!
ahaha oh i love Spitfire
you know despite their shared enmity of Rainbow Dash this is the first time i’ve seen Lightning Dust and Wind Rider connecting like this and now i can’t get enough of it
aww! it looks like Wind Rider at least learned, perhaps with the help of age and wisdom, some of what really matters.
i have somehow never seen these characters interact before and i am glad this was my first time because it was an excellent one. thank you for writing!
Ooh, good touch with Magnus being smaller than modern professional athletes. He certainly didn’t access to the same degree of nutrition, and his training regimen had very different goals.
Spitfire’s guest laughed at that for reasons he refused to explain.
Good stuff. Lightning Dust was always flying for the wrong reasons, but Wind Rider does seem to be a case of somepony who lost sight of really mattered when he could no longer look past his own hype. It feels right that coming face to face with his own hero would remind him of why he took up stunt flying to begin with. Great work and outstanding rare character interaction. Thank you for this.
