    • Make a Wish
      When Scootaloo is diagnosed with a fatal illness, Rainbow Dash will do anything to save her.

      7,731 words · 550 views · 664 likes · 14 dislikes

    Abandoned by her parents and raised by her wits, Scootaloo knows about the dangers of dreaming.  Any focus given to an impossible goal is focus lost from finding food, shelter, and warmth for another night.  Settling herself in Ponyville, she lives day by day, surviving on scavenged meals and the love of her friends and idol.

    But when Scootaloo collapses and is diagnosed with a terrible disease, her fragile life is thrown into disarray.  Her resolve is tested as her illness impacts Rainbow Dash, strains her friendships, and confines her to a hospital bed.  With nothing but hope to drive her forward, how long can Scootaloo fight when blind to the only thing she has to hold on to?

    I mean, aww. Scootaloo's got cancer. That's sad.

    In all seriousness, it's glad to see this story beginning again, and stronger than ever.

    >>2582144 Nope, no excuses . Now go find half the people who upvoted it and make them downvote it. You have to start at 50/50 after all.

    I was excited to see an email saying that make a wish had updated. I was a bit disappointed to see it was just a rewrite.

    Then I read it.

    Holy crap. That was amazing. You have progressed unbelievably far since last year.

    Huge improvement. And I get the feeling you're slowly turning to SS&E, but that's probably just me. :twilightsmile:

    Looking forward to seeing how the story progresses.

    Having read the original, I felt as though you were just re-uploading it, but I'm seeing some changes, and some reoccurring stuff. Realizing that the first one was sad, and this one is on its way, I can say I can't wait for an update. :pinkiesmile:

    Euch. Way to many rewrites. It seems like a quarter of authors on here feels the need to start over at least one lately. Oh well.

    Nice job with the writing, very well done.

    Rewrite, eh? Definitely more detailed, but the tone of the story is a bit more intense. I'll be looking forward to your new take on your story.

    A rewrite, interesting...well, I'm still following it!

    By the way, I really love your descriptive writing.  It's making this read much better, and in a very different way, than the first time.

    So Awesome rewrite but... can you upload the old version too? Like an archive?

    Cancer.  You gave someone cancer.

    My apologizes, but I shan't be reading this.  (Family member w/ cancer, leave it at that)

    You do, however, get an up vote for the style and wording.

    I remember reading the old version of this. What you've written now kind of blows it out of the water. Really, really good.

    There are very few FIMfictions which I've read that make me feel that my heart's shattered into unrepairable pieces. This is one of them.

    I'm a bit distraught that you're re-writing it because it means that I'm going to have to read it again in even greater and more heart-wrenching detail. Not sure if I can handle this. Oh well, I'm going to read either way.

    Beautifully written, by the way.

    He’s an oncologist here at the hospital.

    Poor Scootaloo...

    You know you are in a bad way when your primary physician has a speciality with a Greek or Latin name.

    I like what you have done so far with the rewrite. Looking forward to more!

    Huh, I thought this looked familiar but it had just been so long since I had read it I guess. It is still really good although it would seem that Scoot's symptoms set in earlier and much more fiercely this time round, not that I'm complaining or anything... Anyway, I really do hope my favorite CMC pulls through this.
