This story is On Hiatus until I have finished some other projects or this miraculously becomes a featured story, lol. (Mainly just the first one, the second one there is a 'Best case scenario' kind of thing)

A traumatic event separated Rainbow Dash from Scootaloo at a very young age and neither of them remember. Find out what happens when the past is unraveled and new bonds are formed.

If you like what you read here don't forget to 'watch' and 'favorite', or if not, drop a comment letting my know why so I can improve my next chapters!

Wasn't really rushed all to much to me, but, I am the writer so I am a bit bias, can you be a bit more specific?

1205538
Oooook then, and Yes I would appreciate it if you did not make a Sequel to this, at least not until it is finished (If you can even make a sequel at that point as its planned to be a long one story)

1205573 its a joke... baby stories are sequels

Seems a bit rushed... but prologues are hard to not rush.

:fluttershysad: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Well, there was other things there originally, but, we (We being me, Enlistedpony, and avorin) were unable to come up with something better to really put there so it was decided to leave it at that.

This. This exactly. Take your time, you're rushing through potentially valuable story telling by trying to get to the reveal right away. There are entire stories dedicated to Rainbow discovering the orphan Scoot, you don't need to rush it right away. The other thing to look out for is "Talking Head Syndrome." That is, you have a lot of dialogue but not a lot of description. Please see the following comment I've blatantly taken from another fic:

Talking Head Syndrome.

Talking Head Syndrome is what happens when a story consists of dialogue. Dialogue, dialogue, and more dialogue. Characters are yammering away at each other, but we have no idea what they're doing during this time.

Imagine reading a comic where all you can see are the speech bubbles. You'll often find yourself with no idea what is going on. And that is what your story does to its readers. Your characters are talking, and character interaction is often a good thing, but your characters are only talking. And occasionally thinking. But they are never doing.

Stories need description. What does Scootaloo's room look like? What about Lulu and Morning Dew, what do they look like? And the kitchen in the second scene. Description ground your characters in a setting, and puts a picture in your readers's heads of where the action is taking place. Are the rooms big or small? Does the size of the room have any importance? Did Scootaloo get the big bedroom because her parents love her more than Lulu, or because Scootaloo is so messy that she needs a large area to spread around in? Is the kitchen small? Cramped, or cozy? Or maybe it's nice and big, with plenty of room to move around.

Stories also need action. And I don't just mean fight scenes and such. Action can be as simple as Scootaloo pouring a glass of orange juice to go with her toast. It lets us know what the characters are doing while they're talking. Action takes that picture of the setting that comes with description, and shows us how the characters are interacting with it. Is Scootaloo bored? Maybe she scuffs at the floor with one hoof, while looking around for something interesting to pay attention to. Is Morning Dew worried? Maybe she busies herself spreading butter across some toast, but is so distracted by her worries that she piles on too much butter and Scootaloo gags when she takes a bite.
Dialogue is great, but dialogue alone does not make a good story.

Also:
The room became engulfed in a blaze of fire that quickly filled up the entire room.
Redundant sentence is redundant :rainbowwild: You've got a good start, I look forward to see how this unfolds.

Two things; You could elaborate a bit more on Dash finding out that Scoots is homeless and, it's "sparse", not spartan. Other than that, this looks good and I'm looking forward to more

This fic is going to be amazing, I can feel it in my bones

Loved the originality, hopping for more :raritywink:

I really like this fic.:scootangel:

Pretty nice until now. Looking forward to more chapters.

Bloody hell, this is going to make me cry later on. I know it.

Actually, Spoiler

You don't be sad, well you will be, but the heartwarmingness will balance it out.

Also, you would probably be more mad at certain ponies that have yet to be mentioned in the story than you will sad......but, spoilers.

Man I sure do love this story. Actually I love all Scootadash stories, except clop ones:pinkiesick:

I need more, right now, this second.

Awww, another great chapter!

Moustache for you!:moustache:

"...I have my hands full as it is with my newest orders..."

:derpytongue2:
Otherwise, keep up the good work. :twilightsmile:

argh right in the feels

1219761

As it was intended to I hope.

A cliffhanger :facehoof:
I should have seen this coming, I look forward to your next chapter.

1220014

Technically its not that much of a cliff hanger, I mean, it could be worse, it could be the end of the story, lol.

:fluttershysad:Dear Celestia, please start the revealing of the truth!! They deserve to know!

:derpyderp1:Ditzy Doo compels you!:derpyderp2:

1220980

*Spoilers*

Their going to find out very soon that, and I'm sorry, but that's when everything changes.

Good work I would like to see more.:pinkiesmile:

1222031

Hopefully I will upload another part tomorrow. (I.e. Later today for those of you in and before Eastern Standard/Daylight Time)

1219411

Just wanted to state that I fixed this.

"You'll Be In My Heart" would fit very well here.

I have to Say that Nurse kinda sucks at giving bad news

1223224

Yes, that was intended.

2 updates within the same day, this has to be a dream come true :rainbowkiss:

I think I would really like to see somepony take the administration of that orphanage and rip them a new one. I think that Luna would be the perfect pony to head up the investigation. How about a sub plot if you haven't done this already. Just a thought, it's your story after all. Looking forward to more of this .

1225953 agreed totally awesome but does this double feature mean you won't be updateing anytime soon?

1226143
I hope thats not true, although this may be one of those 'spur of the moment' writings.

Yes send Luna, Celestia may be to mad to do it herself:flutterrage:

1226143

Indeed you are correct, there will be no update tomorrow, in fact part 5 was meant for tomorrow, but I uploaded it today, because I am awesome, don't expect an update for a few days while me and my team write the next few chapters, We try to get ahead so we can release a chapter a day, we will release chapter 6 sometime within the next 4 or 5 days.

More! MORE!!! :D If this was Reddit I'd Upvote you to heaven!!!

1226190 i hope that the people that have tortured scootaloo burn, long, and slowly.

My heart! :heart:

Such a good story.:pinkiehappy:

1227025

Hmm, my editor said something very similar while I was writing that scene, lol.

I was told not to give out anymore spoilers :raritydespair:

But I can say this, regardless of what happens in the story, certain people are pushing for Celestia to send them to the sun, granted I can't tell you what is actually going to happen, but sending them to the sun for eternity is on the table.

I'm really hoping we get to see what happens to that orphanage once Celestia gets word of what went on there. :trollestia: Catharsis is Magic. :scootangel:

1228549 no send them somewhere else them being on the sun would discrace celestia's sun or luna's moon

1230715

If you have a better idea, I am all ears.

I actually (Jokingly serious) suggested to my team that we send them to the moon, then send the moon into the sun, then send the sun into a black hole, but meh, that's just me. I figure if they are powerful to move the sun and the moon, they can make new ones, right? lol.

1230730 have them banished to the griffon lands or dragon lands while whereing signs that say "FREE FOOD".

signs must be branded to the skin.

If anyone saw my last comment before I removed it, I just put it up there to mess with Enlistedpony, lol, ignore it if you saw it. *IT WAS NOT A SPOILER* It was a fake spoiler to mess with enlisted, lol.

This is just WONDERFUL! :raritycry:

This NEEDS to be featured and this NEEDS to have more upvotes!
