After finishing off her paper, Scootaloo goes out to lunch with Rainbow and her family and there, they break the exciting news to her. "Scootaloo!" says Windy Whistles, "we got the adoption papers from the orphanage. We want to make you part of the family!"
"Really!" Exclaims Scootaloo as she jumps into their arms, toppling them over. "Thank you! This is the best surprise ever!"
That afternoon, Windy and Bo sit down and fill out the adoption papers. An hour later, the two take the papers and Scootaloo with them to the adoption agency and turn in the papers. They then head back to the Dash house and wait for the response to arrive.
Three months later, the response arrives. The adoption went through. Scootaloo is now officially part of the Dash family. Rainbow is excited. She's always wanted a little sister.
"I'm so glad to be part of the family!" says Scootaloo as she hugs Rainbow and Rainbow's parents.
"We're glad you're part of the family too," they reply hugging her back. The four then head off to dinner to celebrate.
At dinner at the Cloudsdale Cafe, the four just talk and talk and talk only stopping on occasion to eat. "This is the new start I've always wanted," sighs Scootaloo.
After dinner, the four head back down to the Ponyville pier and play carnival games for hours on end. They play the basketball game, ring toss, and the ping pong toss game. Rainbow ruffles Scootaloo's mane and Scootaloo just laughs. Things can only go uphill from here. She definitely knows that much.
