Young love is the purest form of love there is. The idealist concept of a relationship and love drives many young lovers and star struck ponies like Scootaloo into putting in exorbitant amount of effort to please, impress, and court their pony of interest into loving them back. So far it hasn't worked out so well, but Scootaloo is a determined young filly willing to put as much effort as possible into her dream.
A Slice-Of-Life One-shot about one young filly's aspirations of being a Wonderbolt and winning the heart of their idol and hero.

As a character, Raindbow Dash always felt incomplete to me. She spent so much of the series just bouncing the idiot ball on her head that it hardly ever felt like she was anything more complex than a dumb jock archetype. The only enduring character dynamic that she had with any of the other characters was the running competition she had with Applejack. The "reading with Twilight" thing never went anywhere, and the awesome thing that she had going with Fluttershy in Season Two when it seemed that, inexplicably, Rainbow was under the impression that Fluttershy was capable of absolutely anything and so was constantly carrying her into harm's way--that just stopped. Even more so than Applejack, Rainbow Dash felt like she never quite made it off of the drafting board.
It is certainly possible to imagine a more fleshed-out Rainbow Dash, but she has to be cobbled together from bits that were scattered across the series' run. The crippling self-doubt from "Sonic Rainboom," the supreme--maybe unwarranted--confidence that she has in her friends (Fluttershy being the prime example), the self-sufficient sense of humor with a complete disregard for whether or not anyone else is laughing that we saw in Season One, the penchant for the dramatic to rival Rarity that appeared in "Rarity Investigates!", and the lazy, irresponsible slacking that Faust imagined would, all together, make for the beginnigns of an interesting character. Unfortunately, those elements never really came together.
