This took about two months of on-and-off work. I know the featured image was just changed, so there's not much chance of this being featured, but I wanted to submit it anyway. I hope you guys like it!

Manly tears. Manly tears.

Actually Spitfire and Soarin seem a little older than Rainbow Dash. Spitfire and Soarin seem to be in their 30s (human equivalent age) while Rainbow is in her early 20s. They probably still weren't in the Wonderbolts quite yet, though.

Then at the very end, I was "..." and manly tears were shed.

I cried because I thought it was all a dream and she never did get into the Wonderbolts... In the last frame she's regretting her life while looking at some WB memorabilia in a museum.

It wasn't until EqD posted this with the title 'memories' that I got it. That was really depressing, man.

Hahahaha this is funny! This can go soooooo many different ways! A propaganda poster for fillies to stay in school? A political campaign proving losers are never remembered? Or even a fan fiction where old Rainbow Dash, fed up with her crushed dreams, straps a large explosive device to her chest and blows half of Ponyville sky-high, killing her friends in the process? So many possibilities! I love it! :D

@Lestat The winged lightning bolt is probably the captains mark (meaning Soarin is the team captain in the episodes so far) It's possible that Rainbow Dash got promoted to captain sometime between when she joined and when she retired. Also if she never fulfilled her dream, why would she be smiling in the last panel?

Capt-Nemo
#371876

Well, here's the excuse I posted on Deviantart about the age gap (which never even crossed my mind when I was making the comic, by the way):

Real horses have reached their adult height and weight after two years and live to be 18-22 years old. That means Dash could have been a 1-year old filly when she first saw the Wonderbolts, and the Wonderbolts could have been, say, 6-year-old adults. Three years later, Dash is accepted into the Wonderbolts. So Rainbow is an adult at four years old, and the Wonderbolts are only 9 years old, about middle-aged. That's plenty of time for her to be with them during their lifetime and for her to reminisce about her days with them as an old mare.
