Read The Sequel! You're Gonna Fly!

Sticks and stones may break bones. But bones heal. Hearts do not.

As wrists shatter and arms crumble, as legs bend and ribs fracture, as feet break and toes twist, as fingers snap and hands collapse, we all know things will get better in time.

But when someone carves a crack into the fragile rock that is our hearts, it never goes away.

Scootaoo enters her first day of school as blind as a bat, unsure, unknowing, and unaware of how the other fillies of the classroom may treat her. Just because she is who she is.

Story takes place BEFORE Scootaloo meets that CMC

Rumble has a special gift for Scootaloo's birthday. Now he just has to tell her about it.

Scootaloo is now a little older than the ambitious filly she used to be. Now more mature and aware of the world she lives in, her story is more than what anypony would expect it to be.

During a Family Appreciation Day at her school, an incident causes her to run out of class without warning in a mess of tears. Only when a very dear and close friend of hers comes after her to find that she has locked herself in the safe confines of her house does he find out the horrifying truth as to why she feels so hurt in the first place. Concealed feelings of affection ensue.

Flying. The only thing other than her blank flank that Scootaloo can think of. It has never been easy and she struggles everyday even to hover a couple of inches off the ground. Her role model and idol, Rainbow Dash, has given her every tip and trick she knows. She pushes herself to the bone in secret. But for all she is worth, the coveted flight has never come. As she sets up to take flight, she will encounter three of the worst days of her life only to get more than she ever bargained for.

Rumble has always had his eyes set out for Scootaloo, but he never had the guts to tell anypony. Not even Thunderlane, his brother. However, Scootaloo almost runs into him on her scooter one special day, and that's when the feeling of love begins.

My first shot at a shippingfic or whatever you wanna call it, and an attempt at a story with no dialogue. :)

Also, this is a story with 1,000 words! I never thought could do that.

Scootaloo, trying to comprehend the fact that Rainbow will be gone for a very long time, comes across a colt walking by the lake. He has a note. She finds it. She reads it. She discovers somepony loves her.

It was the last day of school, and both Rumble and Scootaloo felt terrible the entire morning. As the two of them met up to walk to school, they notice that they both feel absolutely sick. Instead of going back home, they decide to toughen it out for the last half day.

Blossomforth catches the two of them, and notices the familiar symptoms of the Feather Flu...

Deep in the winter, just a week before Hearth's Warming Eve, some Equestrian towns and villages celebrate a old tradition. The Forgiveness Festival, where ponies come together to apologize and forgive for their past grievances and mistakes.

Scootaloo was disheartened to find herself as a participant of this holiday, as she anxiously waits the apology she has wanted to hear...
