It's a very important day for Rainbow Dash, and all she has to do is bake a cake. The only problem is, she's never baked a cake before.
Scootaloo wants to be just like Rainbow Dash, and barring that, to be like every other pony. She's ashamed of her true nature, the one she must hide from everypony or be hated and cast out, or worse. She doesn't know what she is, only that she can't eat the same way other ponies do, and she has to keep the terrible consequences when she feeds too much always hidden and never seen. But when a pony begins to truly care about her well-being, Scootaloo finds out that being loved makes it harder to keep a secret than when nopony cares about you at all.

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 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?
After some long and hard years of constant struggle, Scootaloo has finally developed the ability to fly. Now her life's ambition to follow in her idol's hoofsteps is becoming a reality as she has been accepted into the Wonderbolt Academy. Flight school was hard enough, so this definitely won't be a breeze. But that won't stop Scootaloo from doing her best to impress her foalhood hero.
Author's Note: For continuity purposes, this story takes place after The Apple Blooms and before Love is is Bloom, but is otherwise completely stand-alone.

(I originally had this as a series of one shots, but I believe I broke a rule and so moved it into one story.)
This story is a sequel to Dashaloo Days: Angry Flight Training
I recommend reading the first two stories first to understand how Dash and Scootaloo got to this point.
Twiligeddon is coming... but the only pony who can save us all is cluelessly being tossed around by the whims of fate, and she can't even fly yet! Impossible choices, spirit breaking challenges, and harsh demands riddle Scootaloo's training on her journey to reach her dreams. Hopefully, Dash can keep her alive long enough to meet her destiny...
In the meantime... Celestia is wrestling with demons of her own by trying to answer a nearly impossible question from Twilight that drove her dearest student on an insane quest to rectify Celestia's most grievous past mistake. Can Celestia keep Twilight alive after she meets her destiny? Lines have been crossed, and there's no going back now! Well, in Celestia's case, at least there's no going back again...
Warning: Scootaloo changes physically and emotionally. There is some parts that can be considered Scootabuse during painful training sessions, tests, and now with 200% more really horrible nightmares as she pushes herself past her limits. Mild blood, but nothing gory.
I started writing this during season 3, but I'm trying to keep it universal. Sadly, the treebrary is gone. So, obviously this story takes place before that horned douche Tyrek blew it up.
I like to use a lot of comedic moments in my stories to contrast the more serious moments. It's meant to be a dramatically sad story, but expect some laughs and an appropriate amount of awkwardness.
