We all know Scootaloo’s tough, that she’s cheerful, and positive, and a generally good, friendly mare.

But even Scootaloo’s capable of falling apart, with the right words; the wrong words. And she heard those words. You’ll never fly.

Now, Rainbow Dash just has to figure out if she’s capable of being put together again.

Now rewritten, and desperately needed, too, I fear...

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are growing up. They've gotten their cutie marks, they know what their futures hold, and they're departing for greener pastures. But what of Scootaloo? She has yet to get her mark, and now she's alone, without much help to get it.

So...what happens to a pony that doesn't get her cutie mark?
