Stella Cetaceae

SEIZE THE DAY, SEEK THE STARS
Spitfire: a curmudgeonly ex-Captain of the Wonderbolts ( normal flight division).
Vapor Trail: young, fresh-faced Ensign of the Wonderbolts (spaceflight division).
On a years-long, meandering supply run aboard The Wanderer to Equestria's outlying colonies, there's plenty of time for new discoveries, both mundane and never-before-seen alike.
There's also plenty of time for old wounds to fester.
But maybe, just maybe... there's also time enough to heal.
