Sweetie Belle burst into the Carousel Boutique in tears because one of her best friends is moving to a foster home in Baltimare. Surely there has to be a pony in Ponyville who can be her foster parent, right?

I'm lucky to have two of my favorite, (and also way underrated authors) on this site pre-reading for me, HMXTaylorLee and DemonBrightSpirit. Their work is seriously excellent and unappreciated so go check them out.

My super awesome cover art was done by hugsforpenguin and commissioned by the aforementioned HMXTaylorLee, so another thanks to him.

This story takes place in an Alternate Universe where Quills and Sofas sells more than two things.

Dash has never been happier now that Scootaloo has her wings and can finally start training for the Wonderbolts. Only problem is, Scootaloo has no intention of joining and now has to tell her sister the truth and risk disappointing her forever.

Scootaloo discovers an empty cardboard box behind the post office.

This is where her day begins.

Scootaloo and her friends have long been crusading for their cutie marks, but after a long string of failures, Scootaloo is more desperate than ever. Desperate enough to try something as namby-pamby as - ugh - dancing. Will Scootaloo find that dancing's more fun than she expected, or will she end up once again covered in tree sap? Read this to find out!

Rainbow Dash promised to take the rambunctious Scootaloo under her wing on the whim of pride. However, when Scootaloo's repressed emotions come to surface, Dash finds there's more to the little filly than fun and flight training. Can Dash master her own insecurities as she struggles in expanding her comfort zone to give Scootaloo what she really needs? Will she accept the responsibilities to a much deeper meaning with the title of Big Sister?

Dedicated to DawnFade who inspired, through elegant prose, a shattered writer to follow his dreams once again.

And to my daughter Ella, who is a wonderful big sister, but really needs a big sister herself sometimes.

This is it. Junior Flight Camp: where a pegasus gets their Flyer's Certificate, the official proof that they can fly on their own. Scootaloo's anxious to finally leave her flightless state behind, but having two star flyers in your group doesn't exactly help your nerves much. Nor does having a pair of first-timers as your instructors and an insane unicorn bard as the nurse.

And then there's Doldrum Whimper: a bulky pegasus colt who's the victim of choice in his school, yet can't seem to grasp that his strength is something he should be using. He's like Fluttershy on steroids, for Celestia's sake! Well, he's nice to have around, at least, and it's not like Scootaloo can't make new friends... if they measure up...

Rating adjusted for safe measure. There's no gore, no overly explicit themes, but some of the things are mildly suggestive. It would get under the radar of a kid's show, no problem, but it'd be noted for flying under the radar, still. It's mostly meant to be funny, but I warn you there are some sad moments in this. Don't say I did not warn you, I'm merely pointing it out because I can't use the sad and comedy tags together.

16/9 Edit: in the process of being rewritten. Layout will be adjusted, OC's colour scheme will be adjusted, some unclear elements will be clarified.
17/9 Edit: Rewritten to be grammatically more correct, and the OC now has a new colour scheme. Hope you enjoy!
15/12-17/12 Edit:More grammatical correctness in the spacing of dialogues, some little changes to make things sound more natural and some mentions of Whimper being purple corrected. I could've sworn I fixed all that before, though. Oh well...
Edit of the edit: gone over the whole thing based on the WRITE review of the first chapter, hopefully it's an improvement. The grammar should be accurate now, and OOC-ness reduced, at least in those chapters that allowed for enough leeway.

Apple Bloom invites a Pegasus to the club house and Scootaloo begins to feel like she's being replaced by a Pegasus who can actually fly.
Can the Crusaders, with the help of some other ponies, convince Scootaloo that she can't be replaced or will it be too late?

After realising that Scootaloo has never been to Cloudsdale, Rainbow takes the filly to the citadel of the pegasi, much to Scootaloo's excitement.

A short sketch for Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo; gentle friendshipping.

This story is a sequel to Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights

Have you ever needed to be loved so bad that when you got it, it was painful? Scootaloo has! And when her mom shows back up from deployment for a bit of leave, her idol/big sister Dash faces new challenges with an intense internal conflict, compounded by her meddling friends, suddenly boiling over. Will she be overcome by the new barrage of gut wrenching emotions and insecurities? You bet she will! Will Ponyville still be standing after their spat? Will the barrage of anxiety on Scootaloo ever end as she's caught in the middle?

Scootaloo comes to Sweet Apple Acres looking for Apple Bloom, but instead finds Applejack who decides to teach her a little bit about apple farming, and, perhaps, just a little bit about life.
