Spike loses a bet to Snips and Snails. The consequence? Ask Scootaloo out on a date. But what starts off as a frivolous punishment for the baby dragon ends up becoming much more rewarding than he ever expected.

“Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?/Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?/Scream at me until my ears bleed,/I'm taking heed in just for you.” –Green Day, ‘She’

A few years down the line, Scootaloo is still earthbound. While still puttering her scooter around, she has noticed her friends have changed their focus away from their cutie marks. This bothers the orange pegasus and causes her to look for a new friend. And she finds one in a purple dragon with newly grown wings.

No wings...
No mark...
No family...

Scootaloo feels alone. Every day she watches as the Pegasi fly over her.
Walking on the clouds, soaring through the wind, making their mark on the sky.
Never able to join them.

But is she really alone?
Sometimes, the person you need most...

Is the one who's been in front of you all along.

Spike always thought that his love life was simple: chase Rarity, eventually win Rarity. But a surprise confession from a friend complicates matters in a way he never could have expected.

She's an aspiring Pegasus with dreams of fame and fortune. He is a dragon who wanted to change the world and bring all races together in harmony. Although they are old friends, a dangerous accident brings the two closer than they could ever imagine, and even more than they expected.

Collaboration with Sky Charmer, edited a bit by him as well but if anyone would like to help edit it completely or proofread, it would mean a lot.

Spike and Scootaloo are college room mates and so close that people thought they were a couple or brother and sister.

But one day, Spike walked in their room and discovers a sight that made him see Scootaloo in a new light.

This story is a sequel to Study of Generosity

Rarity asking Spike for a favor is nothing new. What is new is that favor being a ruse to get him on a date with a certain filly. But Spike knows better than to resist, and maybe a night with Scootaloo won't be so bad.

When Scootaloo asks Spike to clarify things, however, he decides to be honest. While trying to define what Rarity means to him, perhaps he'll find out what this date means to the both of them.

Scootaloo slowly opens the rusty pronged gate...
“Rainbow, you here?”
“Hey kid! ... What’s up?

"Dammit, dad. I told you not to work in the mine! I told you you weren't strong enough! But did you freaking listen to me!? NO!" The poor black-coated pegasus cried over his dads fresh grave. He cried for a good few minutes before resuming his dialogue to his deceased father.

"No, I know it wasn't your fault. With mother gone, you had to do it in order to provide. It isn't your fault. It's.... IT'S....

Scootaloo's birthday at the Orphanage is very special this year. Rainbow gives her an awesome gift.
