UPDATED 12/22/2014.

A story about how sometimes when we hurt others we also hurt ourselves. Because physical pain isn't the only kind there is.
For the life of me I've been trying to figure out how to improve this description but can't.

This is the first fanfiction I ever actually wrote and as such I sort of holds a little place in my heart. When I first wrote and posted this story is was very rough. (A first draft with little to no editing) Though to my surprise it met with a good reception. As such I decided to put more time into this story to truly make it shine as well as I can. Going back and fixing my mistakes, polishing out the rough bits, and some general revisions to help the story flow better. I do hope you enjoy this story and the work I put into it.

As of 12/01/2014 every chapter has been revised and edited to a new and (hopefully improved) version!
Even one scene from the first chapter has been cut out and moved to its own separate chapter.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did creating it.

I'd like to think my editors; sbloom85 and Kraken Hatchling for their help with this. You guys are awesome. An additional thanks to Leoshi for also pointing out and helping me fix errs that were missed.

In the cold winter of Ponyville a single spirit walks alone.

No one expects to go to sleep and never wake up. There's always tomorrow, or the next day. There was always time. So, when a young life is extinguished before its time, it becomes especially difficult to handle. When the spirit of that life is forced to face and accept her death, what will become of her afterlife? Scootaloo will soon be faced with this tragedy, and this is her story.

When Scootaloo tries to fly for the first time, she quickly learns that she was not ready and through a tragic mishap, breaks her wings beyond repair. Torn apart emotionally by the situation, Rainbow Dash steps in and takes care of her and vows to find a way to fix her broken wings.

Scootaloo is known for being a fervent admirer of Rainbow Dash, a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and being wickedly fast on her scooter. But one question remains on everyone's minds when they think of her: where is her family?
Well, who better to ask than Scootaloo herself?

Warning: Contains character death (no gore).

As a filly, Scootaloo was always ashamed of never being able to fly like all the other pegasi could at her age. She hopes that maybe things will change and that she will finally be able to fly, but she soon realizes that not being able to fly isn't the only problem she's faced with.

After being ridiculed for so long for not being able to fly, and after trying again and again, Scootaloo tries to end it all. Rainbow Dash sees this and tries to help out her number one fan, who means so much more to her than she realized.
