Sometimes, the only course of action that remains is the right thing to do.

Rainbow Dash, having managed to evade execution by her friend's horn, is hospitalized and forced to confront what she did. But Spitfire is determined to give her another chance, for both of their sakes. The commander of the Wonderbolts needs to learn her subordinate's training methods, said subordinate needs grooming for her future, and while Twilight does not need to spread her love for academia she is drawn to any opportunity to do so.

A random bit of character development. Takes place the day after It's A Wonderful Case.
