As winter looms, Fluttershy dreads the lonely months ahead. Surprisingly, she finds comfort in a small filly that shares her loneliness.

Scootaloo has discovered something unsettling about the world she finds herself in. Can she figure out what's going on?

Warning: Random.

Scootaloo has always looked up to Rainbow Dash as a mentor or an older sister. So, when Rainbow Dash promises to give Scootaloo flying lessons one afternoon, it makes the little filly's entire day.

The sad thing about promises, though: just like bodies in gravity, they can shatter.

With the other Cutie Mark Crusaders caught up in family obligations, Scootaloo enlists the aid of her mentor, Rainbow Dash, to earn her cutie mark. But when Rainbow Dash's theatrics leave Scootaloo broken hearted, the elder pegasus has to look past her own definition of awesome to make ammends.

After a medical exam, Scootaloo was given the news that she only has a 20% chance of ever being able to fly. Her aunt may be willing to accept that diagnosis, but Scootaloo isn't willing to accept her fate, and is determined to fly by any means possible, no matter what risks it may bring.

Set in the same universe as "On a Rainy Day", though this story is self contained.
