After losing her parents in a house fire, Rainbow Dash decided to take drastic action and took her in, Scootaloo fears now that Rainbow Dash will die too and she'll be left behind, but Rainbow Dash assures her that nothing will happen to her, and that she will always love her no matter what.

Scootaloo has a tough life, but every once in a while, she has a chance to shine.

Consider this an apology for the Scootabuse in One In A Million. It's time for a feel-good story about Scootaloo; a spiritual sequel if you will, though this story is in an entirely separate universe.

Scootaloo only wants to spend her birthday with her idol. Rainbow Dash would normally love to accommodate her, but… she doesn't want to talk about it. So nopony'd better ask.

(This iteration of the story has been cancelled. Detailed explanation + silver lining/glimmer of hope here)

Rainbow Dash always had a thing for First Officer Soarin of the Wonderbolts, even without realizing he could be such a sweet pony once she got to know him a little better. However, her affections are already tied up with the newly adopted Scootaloo, who needs guidance and care when a new disorder rears its ugly head. There's not much room in her heart for a stallion, is there?

Unfortunately, her life will get even more complicated as the Mane Six join the Wonderbolts to face a mysterious darkness in the distant land of Saddle Arabia. She must remain strong, because her entire world is about to come crashing around her ears. Is there a light at the end of this tunnel, or will everything she endured simply bring more pain down the road?

(Rated teen for the occasional instances of strong language, suggestive scenes, and scattered ponies drinkin' themselves stupid!
