Scootaloo's been plagued with nightmares for the past week, always the same; Rainbow Dash is falling and she's unable to save the mare. Why are they coming? And how do they effect her life while she's awake?

Wow, what a doozy. I really liked it! Also, did you get the initial crash scene from another fic? It just seems very familiar.
3102295 Uh, the first crash meaning the first dream? That was taken from a follow up image the artist who made the preview image did. Any similarities to other fics were unintentional and I apologize

I just saw a line that seemed close to that of another story that had this same idea. (Scootaloo trying to catch Dash while she's falling). That story is called 'Catch You' by PinkiePie35, and I immediately thought that you were doing a contest or something.
Just wondering whether or not my assumtion was true, and if it was, then where could I vote for your story. Because of the two, Scootaloo's Dream is the clear winner.
3105203 Oh! No contest, but thank you very much!
Awesome story! really clever idea of not rushing straight into rainbow falling but building up to it, made it so much more significant
Tear jerker! Scootaloo is such a brave pony!

My original version: Miss Scootaloo, a young Pegasus plagued by a nightmare. A dream that repeats over and over, forcing her to relive a moment again and again. like a piece of music caught in an infinite loop. But what Scootaloo doesn't realize is that this dream will become a reality. . .in the Twilight Zone.
Now, I'm not sure if you were trying to create a Twilight Zone vibe here, but this really reminded me of "Twenty Two"
I was rooting for Scootaloo to do it every time, and I felt her pain and frustration every time she didn't make it. This made the training scenes really good, and I like that Scootaloo's father is still alive. I liked the "Sleepless in Ponyvile" references too. I'm glad it ended happily to, with Scootaloo flying fast enough to slow Rainbow's fall enough to save her. I also like the idea of Scootaloo inheriting unicorn magic to see the future. It would be cool if offspring could inherit earth, pegasi, or unicorn magic from their parents. Good concept. I'm glad to see the CMC and Twilight and others were there. I loved Scootaloo's growth as well. I liked how you went into her thoughts too.
Well, Scootaloo reliving a warning dream was a very clever idea. It has been done before, but you reimagined it and changed it a bit to make it original. Excellent fanfic!

My original version: Miss Scootaloo the Pegasus. Her hero is Rainbow Dash, but the young Pegasus is her idol's hero too. She trained for flight in reality, but her true training came within her dream so that she could pass her greatest test. Training gained from her mother, and some extra credit from the Twilight Zone.

I wasn't specifically going for a Twilight Zone feel, but I agree, the idea itself lends itself to that kind of vibe. I'm glad you loved it so much! Makes me feel special
scootaloo is so brave
sooooooo sweet
That story was just as beautiful as the pictures themselves. You sir are an amazing writer.

Thank you very much for the kind words!

Oh no problem
Whenever there is an amazing story like that, I can't help but leave a good response
That was a good story and all but i wish it hadn't ended right there,Do your think u could make a new chapter to this story?

The thing is I don't know where the story would go from there I can understand though, I had a whole bunch of setup and almost no follow up. Oops!
3603244 Well you could start by showing what happened to scootaloo and maybe since she hasn't really leared how to fly she tries over and over again so she can show rainbow dash her rosult's and maybe when Rainbow Dash gets out of the hospital she'll have a little race with Scootaloo and Scootaloo will possibly tie with Rainbow Dash maybe even get her cutie mark idk thats just one of my thoughts as to how this story could go on and what not and Scootaloo would probably still go and visit her mentor or what she prefer's big sister at the hospital and tell her what' been happening outside of the hospital
P.S.:Scootaloo would probably stay at the hospital and listen to Rainbow Dash read Daring Doo story's
Soo anyway i hope you take on my ideas and make them a part of your story
Very sad. Very touching. I liked it. FAVORITE!!!
Loved it I had to keep myself from crying a fewntimes
Sorry wrong Twilight emoji i meant this one
