An indirect sequel to Pipsqueak Starts a Gang

There's a springtime dance coming up at school! Pipsqueak decides this is a perfect opportunity to ask his crush to the dance. There's just one problem: Pipsqueak Q. Hoppentrot gets tongue-tied around her! Will Pipsqueak be able to ask this filly to the dance? Or will the ups-and-downs of trying get to him first?

By hook or by crook, Scootaloo has managed to land a job as the personal pedagogue for Princess Flurry Heart. Years as a Cutie Mark counselor have helped her bury any baggage she may have originally brought to the role, but perhaps a filly like Flurry needs Scootaloo the pony, not Scootaloo the professional social worker.

A big, Crystal Empire-sized thanks to Nitro Indigo for pre-reading and helping me get the tone of the fic just right. Scoots's portrayal needed to walk a very fine line, and Flurry Heart is a fun but challenging character to craft a personality for.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

This story is a sequel to Allure of Generosity

If there's a fundamental truth of the universe, it's that siblings don't always want to confide in one another. Sweetie Belle has a problem, but Rarity can't get her to open up to it or even admit it. Perhaps it will take the interference of another pony to break through Sweetie's shell.

The only question now is whether Fluttershy is up to the task.

Just a little something I whipped up as a bridge between Allure and where I really want to take this series.

It's the week before Hearth's Warming. Scootaloo is curled up in front of the fireplace, drinking hot cocoa and reading a Daring Do novel.

And then the fireplace starts speaking to her.

A spiritual successor to my (formerly cancelled) six star rated story, It's Not a Cold Dark Place.

Scootaloo idolizes Rainbow Dash. So why is she asking to talk to Twilight about something being wrong? That question alone has the Alicorn worried.

Continuity: Homecoming

Princess Luna adopts Scootaloo. Set after "Sleepless in Ponyville." and about a month after "Magical Mystery Cure" which means she gets a mother in Princess Luna, an aunt in Princess Celestia, and a babysitter in Princess Twilight. Plus Scootaloo is chosen as the future Princess of the Night.

This story is a sequel to Study of Generosity

Rarity asking Spike for a favor is nothing new. What is new is that favor being a ruse to get him on a date with a certain filly. But Spike knows better than to resist, and maybe a night with Scootaloo won't be so bad.

When Scootaloo asks Spike to clarify things, however, he decides to be honest. While trying to define what Rarity means to him, perhaps he'll find out what this date means to the both of them.

This story is a sequel to Lessons in Generosity

A month ago, Scootaloo made the mistake of suggesting generosity was nothing more than looking rich and throwing things at less fortunate ponies. Rarity set her straight, and Scoots has a much better appreciation for the concept.

But when she asks Rainbow Dash about it, she's treated to a view of Rarity she didn't expect. Rarity's done thing in the past that don't mesh with the generous lifestyle she introduced Scootaloo to. Does that mean everything Rarity showed her was a lie? Is Rarity just a greedy, envious, corrupt fraud?

Scootaloo has to know more.

My second entry into and 2_nd Place winner of the Barcast's Make Rarity Not Garbage contest.

I didn't intend to write a second entry for the contest, but after releasing the first I realized there were things missing. Lessons didn't explain what it is that I love about Rarity, and was flawed in terms of the needs of the contest. Study aims to expand upon what was established in the first story.

Scootaloo is the last pony Rarity ever thought would want to be more 'Rarity', but that's exactly what the filly claims. Sadly, Scootaloo's understanding of generosity is disastrously flawed.

Rarity's not about to let that stand.

This story is a sequel to Friend of Generosity

After months of watching Scootaloo and Spike, Sweetie concludes it's finally time to educate Scoots on the fine art of being beautiful! Scootaloo isn't so enthusiastic, especially given how Sweetie seems to treat her suitors.

Rarity noticed this as well. She feels it's time for an intervention: Sweetie needs to clean up her act, and Scootaloo needs to learn what really makes a mare alluring. There's no better time than now to teach them both a valuable lesson.
