Hmm.. Seems like a quick read.. I'll try it. :scootangel:

EDIT

Is english your first language? You have quite a few grammatical errors, one of them being that sometimes you left out the 'S' at the end of words. Some sentences didn't flow easily, like: "She hugged Rainbow Dash tightly, another tears dropped from her eyes." Could I suggest "She hugged Rainbow Dash tightly, more tears streamed down her face, falling onto the cyan pegasus' body." See how it flows more easily? I hate to point out wrongs in peoples work, I really do. But maybe you should go back and read it out loud, it helps greatly.

added to my read latter

Might wanna put in breaks between characters during dialogue.

“I WANT TO FLY!!!!!”, a familiar shouting sound echoed through Ponyville’s school. “Come on, Scoot. It’s just not yer time yet.”

should look more like

“I WANT TO FLY!!!!!”, a familiar shouting sound echoed through Ponyville’s school.

“Come on, Scoot. It’s just not yer time yet.”

It makes it a bit easier to read. :pinkiehappy:

It's nice, but it does have some grammatical errors that detract a bit from reading.

grammar and structure are my only complaints, the story is good otherwise.

Eeyupe, you guess it right. English is not my first language, I'm Indonesian, live in Indonesia where the english language isn't used much here. Also, it's not wrong to point out mistakes in people's work, I'm really thankful if somebody help to point out mistakes, since my english suck.

I'm still learning on deciding where to break the dialogue, but I'm just not good at it. I'm still a newbie, learning from experiences. May I ask you a question? How to make readers know who's speaking on each dialogue?

Grammatical errors, I get that comment every time, I really MUST learn more on vocab and tenses, since english isn't my first language, it's hard to translate it. Got my point? sorry bad grammar.

May I know what's wrong with the structure, please? and as I have stated in the other replies, I'm still a beginner learner and english isn't my first language. Thanks anyway :3

Thank you everybody for your comments and reviews, I promise I'll learn from my mistakes and make a better one next time. Ciao
*extra : oh.. and sorry for the extremely late reply, the time zone is different here, sorry.

1330765 Double post.

*ahem* I'm willing to help ween out the errors for this story, simply because I've been feeling good for a while.

Thanks for your help, you're kind, real kind :D

Its mostly the dialogue, its readable as is, but you'll find that it is easier when each has its own separate line when another character is talking. It helps distinguish who is the speaker. As for the grammar, I'd have to go back through and highlight the parts that need to be fixed because I've already forgotten :twilightblush:

1330851 Alrighty! All I'd need is some kind of way to access the files for the story; perhaps via Google Docs?

Quite easily when it's only between two characters. Establish who's talking, then continue to insert breaks in between them. An argument between two fillies is a good example of this. (I'm not a writer by any stretch of the imagination, so this example will be a bit bland. :twilightblush:)

"Oh yeah? Well I heard that Rainbow Dash Flunked out of flight camp!" Sweetie Bell Grinned.

"What? she did not!" Scootaloo yelled, fury in her eyes.

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

And so on. With more characters, you need to add more descriptors.

"Girls, that's enough!" Cherilee yelled.
