Thunderlane finds himself in a sudden friendship with the daredevil mare Lightning Dust. It would be fine if he didn't felt way more for her than a friend should. Fortunately he has a few plans in mind to work this out.

Unfortunately for him, Lightning's plans are mostly about getting herself killed.

#Poetry

Everypony has a special talent. Everypony has dreams to achieve.
But, sometimes, your dreams may not be there despite how much talent you have.

What is a pony without a cutie mark?
We may know that.

What is a pony with a cutie mark and no dreams to achieve? What happens when your talent means nothing to the world around you?

Lightning Dust knows it. Better than anypony.

*Sets during Season 5*

It's been months since the Equestrian Games, due the long absence of any Internationale competitions Princess Celestia sets for a new kind of tournament that's never been made before in Equestria.

The first Worldwide Equestrian Flying Marathon will be realized in the matter of a couple of weeks.

Seeing such an opportunity to make her name in story, a certain blue pegasus will do anything she can to win the marathon. There's only one problem.

She needs a team.
