It's been years since Scootaloo was a filly, searching for meaning with her friends while Twilight and her friends saved Equestria again and again. The Crusaders have grown up, and settled into adult life. The Mane Six have all found their own way to take a step back, pass on the torch, and relax doing what they love.

Except Rainbow Dash. She never stopped, never slowed down. Until recently, Scootaloo never gave it a moment's thought. But a long talk with the Wonderbolt's trainer forces her to admit what she's known for some time.

Rainbow Dash is slipping. Now to get her to admit it...

Author's Note:
This was mostly a personal exercise, to try writing something simple but a little different than I usually write. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

They praised me as a hero that night. My triumph was shouted from every mouth in tones of jubilation.
None of them saw me for what I was, for the atrocity of my victory.
None except you.
Perhaps, after all these years spent in regret and guilt, I will find some solace in the return of the only one who can see my crime for what it was.
