Feel the Wind

Chapter 1

Scootaloo excitedly woke up from her sleep. The night before, she had spoke with Rainbow Dash about flying. Rainbow promised to give Scootaloo flying lessons for free!

"Yep! I'll tell you what: Meet me here at 4:00 SHARP tomorrow, and I'll teach you how to fly!" is what Rainbow said clearly to Scootaloo.

The excitement was killing Scootaloo, so she couldn't keep still; she decided to go there right that minute. Even if it WAS 7:30 A.M.!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tree Rainbow and Soarin' were sitting at the other day, is what Scootaloo sat underneath while she waited. She saw different ponies trot around town, nuzzling noses and shopping and chatting. Scootaloo noticed how the town got less busy as the day went on, and she fell asleep soon.

She opened her eyes. The sun sat an inch above the mountain in the distance. That meant it was about 8:00 at NIGHT. Scootaloo gasped as she jolted from her sleep. "Rainbow Dash? RAINBOW DASH?!" Scootaloo cried. There was no reply. She felt the tears pour down her face as she curled into a ball on the soft, dewy grass. Rainbow had promised! And Scootaloo knew for a fact that Rainbow Dash would of woken her up if she came. Scootaloo moaned as she started to get up-then she saw the saddest thing above her. Rainbow and Soarin' perched on a fluffy cloud, drinking cider. Talking above love movies and the Wonderbolts group.

"Rainbow Dash! You promised!" Scootaloo cried.

No answer came to her, just a mad glance from Soarin', who ignored her and began to talk with Rainbow Dash once more. Scootaloo sighed, as more tears poured down her face as she trotted home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scootaloo used the rusty key to get inside her home to shove open the door. She wooden floor cracked and creaked as Scootaloo took her steps to her room. She pushed open her door and climbed into her dusty bed, looking up at her bookshelf where a picture of Rainbow Dash-her hero-lied. Scootaloo looked down at her blanket as she cried herself asleep.

The roosters cook-a-doodle dooed outside Scootaloo's window. Scootaloo opened her eyes an inch as she stared at her floor, where the sunlight cast a Pegasus figure onto her floor. Scootaloo lowered herself out of bed and made herself some oats for her breakfast.

Outside, the moon still shone in the sunlight. Scootaloo looked at it, reminded of her horrible night. She quickly turned away. Rainbow stood right there. "Hey, Scoots," Rainbow said. Scootaloo ducked her head. "Yeah?"

"I want to tell ya I'm sorry."

Scootaloo raised her head an inch.

"I was wrong to break the promise. I just got so caught up with Soarin' I so forgot. Can you ever forgive me, Scoots?"

Scootaloo hoofed the ground. "Yeah... I could and I will."

Rainbow smiled. "Thanks, kid."

"No issue. R-Rainbow." Scootaloo trotted up Rainbow and hugged her. Rainbow smiled brightly and hugged her back.

"I'll never break a promsie to you again, kid."

And that was a promise Rainbow Dash never broke.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay, Scoots. Just focus on your flying," Rainbow instructed as she held Soarin' tightly. Scootaloo shut her eyes then opened them again as she raised her wings. She didn't look down as she aimed her body towards the sky. She let her wings carry herself off the cliff. She was flying!

"You're doin' it, Scoots!" Rainbow said, cheering Scootaloo on.

Scootaloo opened her eyes wider as she noticed she was flying-off the cliff!

"I'm doing it!!!" Scootaloo screamed, more happy than she'd ever been before. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle watched happily below. "Ya go, Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom said. "Yeah!" Sweetie Belle yelled after Apple Bloom.

Scootaloo felt the wind carry her off the ground even more, as she aimed her arms in front of her and she grinned, dirty.

Until a Cutie Mark popped onto her flank.

"Oh my Celestia!" Scootaloo screamed even louder, staring at her flank. "My special talent... it's flying like Rainbow Dash!!"

Rainbow Dash smiled, bearing her teeth as she watched Scootaloo soar. Soarin' pulled Rainbow a full kiss, and the CMCs (on the ground) hugged each other as they watched their best friend fly for the first time-and get her Cutie Mark.

Good story ya got there. Maybe a little short though, you could always fill it out more. With things like, what her cuite mark looked like and longer conversations. Just a tip

[Rainbow Pie 2112]

Nice story, but you could have added more to it than just that. It is good like that, but a little bit more into the story could have been better.

I AM DISSAPOINTED! I WANTED A BAD ENDING THAT SCOOTS TAKES YEARS TO RECOVER!!!
PLEASE. PLEASE .PLEASE MAKE A SAD ALTERNATE ENDING. E-MAIL ME. I HAVE GREAT IDEAS.
you let me down kid.:

[Grey_Mane]

That doesn't sound like a good cutie mark. She just learned to fly. The mark is a lie!

Another problem is that... well... do you seriously expect someone to forgive someone that easily when they forget about them?

[love me]
