Before meeting Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo had always been sort of a loner. Her schoolmates ignored her, the townsfolk only paid her mind when she ran into them with her scooter, and her own mother pretended she didn't exist.
Scootaloo didn't mind being alone. It gave her more time to think.. It gave her more freedom. Friendship and compassion does nothing but hold us back, after all.
But Hearths Warming Eve comes along... This holiday has always been her least favorite holiday.

*Slight AU*
(In this story all school-aged ponies are babies)
Rainbow Dash has stumbled upon a box. In it contain a stuffed monkey toy, a blanket, a note, and a baby inside.
Rainbow Dash takes the box back home but will she be able to raise a baby on her? Hopefully with the help of her friends, Rainbow Dash can learn what being mother is all about.

"I don't care what the risks are, Chocolate. I want nothing more then to be with you."

When Blazing Feathers, a pegasus, finds a wounded changeling, frightend and alone in the forrest, he brings her home to heal her back to health. While her wounds healed, Blazing finds that he cared for her and she cared for him, but when his friends find out that she is a changeling, the Queen begins to apear in their lives and everyhing falls apart.

There's nothing worse than feeling alone during the holidays, something that Scootaloo is all to familiar with. She knows that she has no family to celebrate with, save for a mother so drunk off cider she doesn't realize her daughter's heartbreak.

This is the filly's reality- the harsh card fate has dealt her. But this Hearth's Warming Eve, as she treks home through the brisk air all by herself, a certain rainbow-maned pegasus will show her the true meaning of family.

Sequel to "Technicolor Dreams" and "Like Sisters".

This story is a sequel to Bleeding Rainbows

The second story in the "Signing off, Rainbow Dash" series.

Rainbow Dash has left the hospital just before Hearth's Warming Eve, and although happy to be out finally, she has a lingering sadness that one foal is determined to cure.

Fluttershy's birthday is right around the corner, and Rainbow Dash wants to get her something extra-special, something to show her what a great friend she thinks she is...but has no idea what that something is. Can her friends give her any helpful insight, or will she be led back to square 1?...

Probably not my best, but an idea that's been sitting on my head for a while, just meant to be a harmless one-shot, close enough to the holiday season. =)

*Update 7/25: After reading through comments, made a few changes to help the flow and mood of the story. Hope you still enjoy!

Scootaloo has always been jealous of the relationship that Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom have with their older sisters. She sees how they share a special bond that goes beyond friendship. Yearning for that same bond for herself, Scootaloo decides to ask her idol, Rainbow Dash, to join her in the largest celebration of sisterhood in Ponyville, the Sisterhooves Social. Rainbow Dash accepts, but she later receives an invitation from the Wonderbolts to train with them on the same weekend as the Sisterhooves Social! With help from Twilight Sparkle, Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash learn that the magic of sisterhood isn't always easy.

It's been a long kept secret of the Wonderbolts. Every year, the team meets at the Wonderbolts stadium to hitch up and help the big pony himself Santa Hooves fulfill the dreams of everypony in Equestria. Well, most of them anyways. For some things are beyond the limits of even the wise old unicorn Santa Hooves. Sometimes all it takes is a willing soul to make a small fillys Hearths Warming wish come true.

Rainbow Dash’s past wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but she learned from it. She vowed not to make the same mistakes her parents did. Now, with a little orange filly thrown into her life, it’s time for the Element of Loyalty to put those vows to the test. It’s time to keep the promise she made to herself all those years ago.
