3 years have passed, and Mother's Day is making its way to Ponyville. By now, the Mane Six have their own families, and are spending time with them as well. Even Apple Bloom spends time with Granny Smith, since her mother was not present at the moment, and Sweetie Belle was staying over at her mom and dad's house for the weekend. Everyone is happy.
All except for Scootaloo. With everyone talking and having fun with their families and mothers, it gets her thinking about her own family, and she wonders why they left her so long ago.

This is inspired by yum soda's "Alone"! Credit goes to her!
Also, the "Alternate Universe" tag is there because this is set 3 years into the future (as you probably have already guessed). Let me know if it's not needed, cuz I'm not sure myself. xD

Rainbow Dash struggles to learn how to mentor Scootaloo.

Scootaloo has always kept one small fact about herself from her friends, and she hoped to keep it forever. After reluctantly telling Rainbow Dash what it is, the two pegasi, the older in particular, learn what a sister truly is.

This story takes place between S3 E6, through S3 E7, and beyond into its own tangent. The only canon I, well, ignore would be what transpires after S3 E7.

I don't have any pre-readers or editors, so if anyone wants to do that then just say so.

Scootaloo feels discouraged about her lack of flying abilities, and Rainbow Dash has her final Wonderbolts exam coming up. Both Pegasus ponies could learn a lot from each other about what it truly means to soar.

After a day full of excitement, and a sleepover at Rainbow's, Scootaloo is brought above Canterlot to witness the princesses lower the moon and raise the sun. As Rainbow shares how she first came across the perfect vantage point, Scootaloo is yet again reminded of what she lacks. Her feelings, bottled-up throughout the years of frustration and envy, finally explode in a nervous breakdown.

It's up to Rainbow to remind the filly just how strong and awesome she really is.

Dash has a much needed talk with Scootaloo about her reckless behavior and several other things (contains semi-consensual, disciplinary spanking)

Scootaloo isn't one to care about her looks. To her, awesomeness outshines all. That is, until her school dance. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were asked out... and Scootaloo wasn't. As she walks home alone after the dance, she can't help but wonder... is she pretty? At all?
