Everything was going so well.

The entire Wonderbolts team was performing at their best, causing Soarin's heart to swell with pride. He loved being second-in-command. It meant he got to oversee dozens of bright young recruits, the most promising young fliers of the current generation. And he got to work under the wing of the most decorated Captain in Wonderbolts history, Spitfire.

So it was a shock to Soarin when, midway through their display, he watched Spitfire spin wildly out of control and crash into a patch of bushes near the crowd. He was relieved to see her quickly walk away, but his relief turned to confusion when he saw the medical team giving her a breathalyser test.
