A real lady killer.

On an obnoxiously bright and sunny day in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash decided to help Scootaloo learn to fly. What she didn't anticipate was Scootaloo slamming into the ground and eating the dirt.

Repeatedly.


Rated T for mild language.
Note: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are still spoiled brats in this story.

Dislike. Not enough dirt-eating in this story. :trollestia:

All jokes aside, that was very cute. :twilightsmile:

Short, but sweet, Jack :scootangel:

Hit me up next time for edits, alright? I"m never that busy.

"How is repeatedly crashing into the ground going to help me learn how to land properly?”

That's going to teach you how not to land, Scoots. You're not paying attention to that part. :rainbowwild:

Nice, cute story! :twilightsmile:

That was cute.

glancing down at the crater that she’d had formed

I noticed this. "She'd" is "she had"... so it is "glancing down at the crater that she had had formed". Other than that. It was a cute little story, and has given the hope that she (Scootaloo) can do it.

Very cute, with an episode feel to it. Loved it. :twilightsmile:

Scootaloo rolled her eyes, “Tch, whatever. I could care less about you or your family.”

That means you do care
at least a little.

Mhmm, but Scootaloo doesn't know the difference between "could care less" and "couldn't care less."

Glad someone noticed. :raritywink:

It's something I have an uncanny ability for, grammar.

Thank you. :scootangel:

Cute story :twilightsmile:

... attempting to piece together how she was going to tell her parents about her grades without having her hide tanned.

She has parents!?!?!?!

What? Do you think she's an orphan or something? That's just silly. :derpytongue2:

Right? I mean they totally don't imply something along those lines in parental glideance, this is a little girls show after all:derpytongue2:

Ah, pre-redemption Tiara. I haven't read one of dese for a while. This oughta be good... :ajbemused:

Scootaloo smirked. "At least with practice, I'll eventually fly. But you, on the other hoof, no matter how hard you try, will always be a stuck-up bitch."

You may want to go back and review that statement, Scoots... :raritywink:

Rainbow Dash flew back down, kneeling over and rearranging Scootaloo’s crooked feathers and plucking out the broken ones.

Aw, that was sweet! They should do something like that in the series. It would be a good moment of sisterly bonding... :raritywink:

Overall, pretty good so have a thumb. I can't add to it my favourites because generally I like my fics to have a bit more action, but you characterisation is on point and it was an enjoyable read. That's it. Rock on! :rainbowdetermined2:

This is a really good story.

Thank you. :twilightsmile:

Cute interaction. Makes me regret Scoots being straight up disabled in my series. Still, depends on how the character is written, cool interactions can happen to anyone.

I'm writing another story more closely following the interpreted canon of her character. Mostly a sad SoL story that will be out next weekend. :scootangel:

just a side note, if you have CMC tag then you don't really need Scootalloo tag
