A Rainbow Scoot-Adopt story

Post Sleepless In Ponyville-

Rainbow Dash has decided that she is going to spend some much needed quality time with her honorary little sister, Scootaloo. In doing so, she finds out more about Scoots than she planned, and that the filly really is in need of an older sister.

And she will be that big sister.

I'm posting this as an AU, mainly because it deviates from canon just after Sleepless In Ponyville. Plus, future installments will be later episodes that are set in this storyline.

Scootaloo has been without a place to call home for a long time, and up until now, she's been relatively fine. But the winter is only getting colder, and her Crusader's cape isn't doing much to keep her warm at night in the unheated clubhouse, and she just hopes for a better life maybe, with a certain filly with a pastel pink and violet mane, but right now she just wants a home..

Even though Rainbow Dash allowed Tank to hibernate in the winter, she has been feeling sad because she would not have Tank to stay with her during the cold days and nights. Twilight, noticing Rainbow's sadness, decides that she will spend the winter with Rainbow Dash until spring. And who knows, they may always spend the winter together for the next winters to come.

Scootaloo has lost both of her loving parents in a terrible storm. Now she lives in the Cutie Mark Crusader's clubhouse all alone with nopony to care for her. What will happen when her surrogate older sister finds out about her dilemma.

Scootaloo, now in the care of Twilight and Rainbow Dash, remembers her time as an orphan, and how she became their kid.

She'd spend the day with them, shared stories, and shown a love she'd never experienced. And while she thought it was temporary, she didn't expect what would happen next.
