After a hard fought race between himself and the other startup fliers of Manehattan, Midnight Lancer has to accept the reality that he didn't get first place in the Best Young Fliers Competition. It's hard for the colt, who's not used to losing at all. That's where his mother, Butter Roll, comes in to ease the pain and help him understand that it's not winning that matters.

After seeing my friend sketch a mother for my pony, I got inspired to write a short story around the two. If you enjoyed this story, please feel free to leave a comment and a like! I always love feedback! Cover art by smushophile on twitter!
