Scootaloo has always been a filly with big dreams, but can they all come true?
At the very least, she can always follow in the hoofsteps of her hero, right?

(For an amazing follow-up/side-story, please read Shine by The Descendant.)
( Muffinz has written an awesome instrumental track here: EQBeats Page. Check it out!)
(Another great song here written by Fifths89 over on Youtube: Tiny Wings. Give it a listen!)

After being ridiculed for so long for not being able to fly, and after trying again and again, Scootaloo tries to end it all. Rainbow Dash sees this and tries to help out her number one fan, who means so much more to her than she realized.

Scootaloo has had a hard life,but what happens when she finds the pony she wants to be with for the rest of her life?

I upload in small segments for a reason, because I love short and to the point.

Don't like it, don't read it.

Scootaloo has dreaded this day -- the day she would have to give her Family Appreciation Day presentation.

Partially inspired by AmberWings's Final Dreams of a Filly/I couldn't wake you, because you can never wake up again... Though I don't think this is on par in terms of sadness. I don't know. You tell me.

When Scootaloo moves to Ponyville, she meets a certain cyan pegasus who becomes her idol. Things go well until a pivotal event causes her hopes and dreams to come crashing down around her. Broken and betrayed, Scootaloo must learn to accept her reality and embrace her inner strength with the help of her father and two best friends.

[Now with a super awesome reading by Neighrator Pony.]
[This story's sequel can be found here.]

With Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle gone over the Summer with their sisters, how will Scootaloo cope? As Scootaloo finishes the latest meeting of the official Rainbow Dash Fan Club, she gets a visit from Rainbow Dash, who is unfortunately late to the party. After a short talk, and a confession from Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash decides to train Scootaloo herself. Scootaloo's adventures over the Summer are filled with surprise, disappointment, entertainment, and more!

***Author's Notes:

Holy jeeze... I made the first chapter a /bit/ more depressing than I wanted it to be.

Oh well.

Also, taking critiques. That is, if ya'll wanna critique it.

...AND BLARGHLESHNARGLE. Forgot to put in Apple Bloom's accent. :U
..oh well. Slightly un-canon dialogue is fine... right?

---

BLEARGH. Didn't mean for the third chapter to be so short... Oh well. All's good for now. The rest of the chapters will make up for it, when I finish/publish them.

---

And w00t. Chapter four! :D
I feel like I did horribru with this one!

Me: I'm sorry, Asian father, I get right next time! D:
Asian Dad: No, son, you bring dishonor to your famiry! Now you go back to piano before attempting writing again! Fright of the bumbre bee, backwards, now! D:<
Me: Yes, Asian father. Dx

Chapter five. Short.
Gonna edit it and make it longer; Wanted to give you all content though.
Still alive. Just... problems here at home. Nothin' to worry about; I'm strong. I can handle it. :D

Chapter six is up, and sorry it took a bit. I made it a bit longer to make up for it, though. owo''

One night, an amazing display lit up the sky over Ponyville. A comet, brighter than any in living memory, was making its way through the sea of stars. The residents of the town gathered en masse to witness the spectacle. As was the tradition for such an occasion, many ponies made a wish on the celestial body, hoping that maybe, just maybe, some of them might come true...

Though Scootaloo normally appears to be a happy and lively little filly, every once in a while she reacts in a way that catches other ponies attention. Especially the ponies she spends the most time with, Rainbow Dash and her friends, seems to take notice of these little things.

When she finally reacts in a way that cannot be ignored, it is up to Rainbow Dash to find out what terrible secret Scootaloo is really hiding.

Rainbow Dash is dead.

Scootaloo knows this, but that does not mean she will accept it. Equestria is a land of magic and hope—what is one more miracle among hundreds? This is the question that drives her forward when she stumbles upon a Daring Do book that seemingly shows her a means of bringing back the dead. Driven by painful memories and a desperation to make up for her own mistakes, Scootaloo ventures on a quest to bring her fallen idol back to the land of the living. Embarking on a journey far from the world they know, Scootaloo and her friends find the line between fact and fiction—reality and delusion—blurring with each step.
