After a trying day at school, Scootaloo attempts to fly. It doesn't go the way she planned, leaving her hurt both emotionally and physically.

It's up to another Pegasus to patch her up and help her regain some confidence.

Aww, that was quite a nice, little heartwarming story. Just the right thing I needed before going to sleep. Good work! :pinkiesmile:

The cuteness is high in this one! :)

I enjoyed this a lot. Short and sweet. Sometimes it's just nice I read stories like this.

10 out of 10 for slice of life
10 out of 10 for grammar
10 out of 10 for overall story.
Perfect score. Good job.

Nice and light, and cute.

Didn't even need to read this to d'aww. The picture did it for me.

At first I wasn't really sure if this story would live up to its cover/description.

Then the last few hundred words.

Well played. :coolphoto:

There is a difference between doubting yourself after one attempt and continuously trying, when doubt has it's way with you, you tend to give up more. but the more you try and the longer you work to get what you want, you will eventually find that you can get it with the effort you give, but you have to do the things that you don't want to do to get there, like when you want a new car, you want to get it but have no means of getting it at the moment and you don't want to work for it and your family won't buy it for you, what is the only thing left to do, work for it. if you doubt yourself you won't get that car or whatever you want, but you have to work for it to get it. It's the same with graduation in high school you have to do the work and keep your grades up to graduate. I struggled with my grades, but hey, that didn't stop me from trying and in times of doubt, even when there was no one to help me nearby, I sought whatever help I could from other sources. We all do things that we may not necessarily want to do but have to do to get what we want.

“Back when we were fillies,” began Fluttershy, “Rainbow had a tendency to crash into things whenever she tried to fly. It got so bad, other ponies gave her the nickname ‘Rainbow Crash’.”

"When we were fillies"?

Fluttershy--dude--that hasn't really stopped:

3446336 Well...Fluttershy didn't exactly say that Rainbow Dash stopped crashing into things.

Am I the only one that wants a story where Scootaloo learns to fly and the first thing she does is shit on Diamond Tiara's head like a deranged pigeon? Because that would be great.

God damn I think I lost a lung.

3446700 Challenge accepted. I will write that whenever I have time. And include you.

By all the Dark Gods.....

You are truly blessed. :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiehappy:

XD I'll write that sometime. Thanks for the Idea! :rainbowlaugh:

3446700 I'm actually writing it right now. :derpytongue2:

A cute little story nice job :ajsmug:

I just now realized that when it came to flying Scootaloo and Fluttershy have a lot in common

4109372 I view them as having opposite problems. Fluttershy can fly, but prefers to stay on the ground, while Scootaloo wants to fly, but can't.

That was a nice little fic, and the little bit of ScootaShy friendshipping was adorable. I just hope Rainbow Dash never finds out what she said about Scoots being better than her (Dash) someday! Not sure Fluttershy would allow herself to be overruled (on the stitches) by a filly, and I did groan a little at the chicken joke -- though it's just the sort of joke DT would hammer into the ground, so in character I guess. Anyway, a nice, gentle (for the most part) and warm-hearted fic is always a nice thing to see. :scootangel:

If I were grading this, I would have to give you an F.
F for 'Fluttershy' or F for 'Favorited', your choice.

5173296 F for FREEEEEEEEEEEEDOM! :yay:

Daaw, I really liked it, from Fluttershy talking to Scoots to distract her from the pain and how despite not being a particular fan of seeing blood, she steeled her nerves and went on with it anyway, not just because that's the Kind thing to do, but she knows that otherwise it'd get worse and Fluttershy is not the kind of pony to let somepony else suffer if she can avoid it. 10/10

This is adorable!!! The last line really got me!!!!!

Cheerilee sighed. “I can understand why that made you upset. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that you hit Diamond. If it bothered you, you should have come to me and told me. That way, I could talk with their parents and get this straightened out.”

Yes it does. It absolutely does. If you hit a bully, you don't deserve to be punished. What's she supposed to do? Let them get away with it? Talking to the parents/teacher means the bully gets madder. Bullies have to be taught not to bully and the only way to do that is by physical persuasion because they're not intellectually capable of reasoning.

“Diamond Tiara said that in class today.” explained Scootaloo. “She said that if she was a Pegasus and couldn’t fly, she wouldn’t call herself a Pegasus at all.”

Great going, Diamond. Scootaloo could have DIED and it'd have been YOUR fault. The ONLY one who should've been punished was Diamond. I find it bizarre that there's mentions of Scootaloo being (unjustly) punished, but will Diamond be punished for her abhorrent and evil behavior?

The scene with Flutters and Scoots was sweet. Love how Flutters pushed through her discomfort of seeing blood to help Scoots.
