Turns out all she had to do was go home, where Rainbow Dash was waiting for her. She looked slightly different, her mane was maybe a bit longer. "Hey, kid, haven't seen ya in a while! I mean, except those shows I did in Fillydelphia. I saw you there. Front row every time, kid!"

"You saw me?!" Scootaloo said, with all the excitment you'd expect of someone meeting their idol.. even if they'd met a lot already in the past.

"'Course I did. I don't wink at ponies when I do shows in Ponyville, do I?"

Scootaloo was so happy that Rainbow had been winking at her.. but then was overcome with a sudden wave of sadness.

"Hey, cheer up kid.. what's the matter?"

"Well.. the doctors told me I'll never fly. Some genetic thingy.."

"Come on, kid.. you can't beleive everything doctors say. Sure, they're right most of the time, but when I was born the doctors said I wasn't gonna live past two years."

"Really?" Scootaloo looked up with interest

"Oh, yeah" Rainbow Dash continued to explain. "Trust me.. you're gonna go far, kid. Heard you almost broke the land speed record on a scooter! I'm way impressed!" Rainbow said genuinley.

"Really?!?!" Scootaloo shouted this with everything her small lungs could manage.

Rainbow Dash laughed a bit. "Really! And.. kid.. listen. You're gonna fly with me some day. Promise."

"How.. how do you know? How are we gonna fly together?"

"I.. I don't know how. But you will. I gotta get goin', kid.. I expect to see you at my show tomorrow?"

Scootaloo nodded enthusiasticaly, then Rainbow sped off. Scootaloo could hardly sleep that night, she was so excited.
