When the forces of nature come crashing down on a cold night, Scootaloo takes refuge in the only place she can call home: The Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse.
Frightened and alone, only the arrival of a young mare with a mane and tail of rainbows can settle the filly. Scootaloo will soon discover that sometimes the pony who means the most to you as an aspiration, can also be the pony whom you take refuge with at the end of the day.
This story is a prequel to, My Sister, Scootaloo

Oops you lost all your comments, guess I'll just have to re-comment.
This story is Really, REALLY sweet, people with diabetes beware.
I loved this one. Very sweet. Full of d'aww moments!
Any chance of this becoming more than a one shot?
Scootaloo is best orphan-chicken.

Indeed I did :P I failed and replaced the chapter, thinking that was the only way to go about editing. As my blog will say </3 Glad you enjoyed it!

Probably not, no. But I will certainly do other Dash and Scootaloo stuff in the future. Right now I am actually working on a fic like this, but about AJ and Apple Bloom ^^

I'm so glad to see this back in my favorites. Like I said on the other site this is a great pick me up story, I can't read it without breaking into a smile and maybe shedding a couple of tears. Thank you for sharing it with us

and
fanfic EVER!!!
Needs a sequel.

No sequel planned, sorry xP But glad you enjoyed it <3 I'll make more Scootalove with Dash in the future no doubt, but it'll be separate from this, probably.
cool bro. Love the scootadash.
D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww(till the enternity!)
*fangirl squeel*
I'm such a sap, I love these kind of stories where RD either becomes something like a sister or a mother to Scoot.

I love their surrogate sister relationship <3
I know that feel, brony
Thanks for the feedback ^-^
Really short but really sweet. And what can I say? I'm a sucker for Scootalove fics.
It feels like there could have been an entire chapter to actually show the conversation Flutters would have had with Dash to convince her to take the step forward. Perhaps getting to see a little of the inner conflict Dashie went through.
Other than that, it's a sweet little short. There just wasn't much conflict to resolve since everything turned out just fine very quickly. If that's what you were going for, well okay then.

Short is what I do. I rarely do chapters =p I had imagined that, but it didn't fit anywhere outside being a whole separate chapter, so I decided against it :3 Not everything needs to be shown, anyway. That's why we have imagination. If I had planned to turn this into a big chaptered story then that would have been included for sure, but as is, this is really just a snapshot of Dash and Scootaloo that demonstrates their relationship. And yes, the point of this was cuteness and showing that bond that they begin to develop, there really wasn't any conflict to go for in the first place.
Glad you enjoyed it <3
Still my favorite scootadash.
This was a very nice story. I really liked it.
Awesome. Very well done.
MY FEELS!
Real nice story!
There were a few little grammar and formatting errors that I could see, but nothing to really distract from the narrative. the story itself was well done too.

Thanks :3 Glad you liked it. And you can always send me a message with some of the more obvious ones, I'll gladly comb them out.

It's nice to see Scootalove stories do well, they're personally my favorite. Cuz, y'know, Scootaloo is best pony. What with the majority of popular Scootaloo stories like mine being super sad and sometimes tragic, it's always nice to have a healthy dose of happy. You have earned a spot on my watch list. (As if that's some great honor or somethin' dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png )
Anyways, great job on both this and its totally-not-a-sequel counterpart. I expect moar.
The chase/tickle fight scene? Loved it. =)
Nice story, real good job.

Lol, yeah. Scootalove > Scootabuse/Scootasad/Scootaanythingthatisn'tScootalove in my book xD And thanks for the watch <3
I can't believe both my stories got featured up in the featured scroll thingy in the same day.
:D
I love this <3 Fave and Like for you~!
Any attempt to read chapter one just results in a somewhat broken page. Is anyone else having this problem?
E: Apparently, that's because the chapter disappeared?
Awwwww.
I loved this story.
Adorableness....overwhelming.....hurrrg blahhh...
*adds to favorites*

I realize it's de rigueur in some circles to torment poor Scoot, so I'm just going to say "Thank you for the happy ending."
Very well done! One of the few fics that actually promotes Dash the way she really would be. Love it!
That was really sweet! Thank you for that.
I'm happy if
is happy. I mean I am a- Oh wait, I just dropped something and it wasn't the bass.
Why can't I hold all these feels, man? The feels!
All the feeels
I love stories like this!
Awesome job! 
798016 Well, I saw that you said it probably wouldn't be more than a one shot, but....
and no I'm not a popular author, and yes I do realize that my words probably don't hold much salt without proof....
But I did a one shot that quickly became my most popular story, it then got a new chapter,and turned into a whole series-y thingy.
That and you made me get all touchy feely emotional sad/happy because of how d'awesome this story was.
My advice? Make a new chapter, then have a couple of people preread it and tell you what they think!

Protip: My other story, 'Like Sisters' is kind of like a sequel, even though it's officially 'not' :3
And eh, if they get popular that's great, but I write one shots and that's usually it.
