It's now been about a month or two since Dusty Crophopper won the Wings Around The Globe Rally. But sometimes, he wonders if Skipper Riley looks to him as a son the way he looks up to him as a father. From Dusty's sudden sickness to Skipper saving Dusty from Ripslinger, these Mechanid stories (from my point of view) follow the friendship between the racer and war veteran, whose relationship will grow to the point where a family spark lights a father-son fire between them with one magical Christmas they'll never forget.
