// Story: Letters to Rainbow Dash 
// by RainythePegasus_Archive

Scootaloo couldn't wait for her first air show. She have been planning it for three months. And Rainbow Dash was going to be there! Well, at least she hope she would. Rainbow Dash was busy with the wonderbolts lately. They haven’t hung out much, but, they still talked through letters.Scootaloo was nervous. But, she was passionate. She believed that ponies would like the airshow and her tricks. She looked at the calendar. Three more days.  She better go practice. After she sent this letter:

Dear Rainbow Dash, 
there are only three days left until the day... 
        
                               									 ~x~

Three days later: She looked around her, seeing new ponies she never met, and a few friends too. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash! She smiled and walked up to the stage.

 “Ladies and gentlecolts, I will now start the air show!’ she said loudly and excitedly, soaring into the air. She flipped, twisted and turned through the air with grace and swiftness, breaking through clouds. she flew through hoops and did loop de loops. her friends cheered her on and she went faster and higher, twisting and turning in the air. doing spirals and tricks she made on her own. 

Finally, she slowly fluttered back down to the stage and bowed. It was silent for a moment, then her friends erupted in cheers. The rest of the audience walked away, muttering their dislike for the show.she frowned. She thought she did a good job. Maybe she wasn’t a great flyer like Rainbow Dash said she was.  

Whimpering, she ran away. Rainbow Dash ran after her. Even though Scootaloo was a teenager, she was a little mentally behind than other ponies her age. Ponies didn’t trust her by herself. Last time she was.. Rainbow Dash didn’t  want to think about it. She was the only one that knew about Scootaloo’s problems. Not even Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle knew. Rainbow Dash had to find her, and fast.

Scootaloo was near a lake, looking at her reflection, her tears hitting the water. How could they dislike it so much? she tried her best. Maybe that wasn’t enough. “Your a great flier” Rainbow Dash had told her many times, and so did two of her teachers. Maybe they lied. Maybe they just felt sorry for her and she wasn’t a great flyer after all. she curled up next to the lake and sobbed. Her dream to be in the wonderblots, along with Rainbow Dash, was over. They surely wouldn’t accept her. She was so embarrassed, she wanted to leave Ponyville, and maybe she would.
