Scootaloo has the flu. Rainbow Dash decides to cheer her up. This story is for Equestria Daily's Friend Off 3. This is also my first fiction ever posted anywhere.

Fear, guilt, and love can make you do strange unreasonable things. For once, I was able to be there for my adopted big sister, Rainbow Dash, as she worked through the stormy aftermath of the snowstorm of the century.

Role reversal can teach a young filly a lot.

Flying. The only thing other than her blank flank that Scootaloo can think of. It has never been easy and she struggles everyday even to hover a couple of inches off the ground. Her role model and idol, Rainbow Dash, has given her every tip and trick she knows. She pushes herself to the bone in secret. But for all she is worth, the coveted flight has never come. As she sets up to take flight, she will encounter three of the worst days of her life only to get more than she ever bargained for.

Scootaloo came to Ponyville as an orphan, and has been struggling with just that fact ever since her arrival. But recently she's been wondering why she became an orphan, and many things are brought to question, such as why she was abandoned. Was she not worth anything to her parents, but more importantly, if she wasn't worth anything, were she not special, and how would she then get her important cutie mark? This story will depict how the questions and their answers will affect the various relationships between Scootaloo and her friends.

What is beauty, anyway?

(Rewrite of an earlier fic that was posted on this site)

It's another peaceful night in Ponyville. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are having a sleepover at Rarity's, and everything seems to be going great. Then suddenly, a scream shatters the night air, and peace of the night is broken. Scootaloo has awoken from a terrifying nightmare, one that involves her own violent death at the hands of someone she cares about. It is now up to her friends, plus a little help from the adults, to ease the filly's fear and dread.

After a near-death experience concerning a manticore, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are faced with their own reactions, or lack thereof.
But what would their sisters have done in their place? And is it possible that they're not as perfect as the fillies always thought of them?
