She finally has somepony to cover her from the darkest of clouds.
Cute.
They are great friends
D'aaawww, this is adorable!
This is a really cute story
Adorable.
Dash would definitely be the one to show up with a physical representation of a metaphor.
D'aww, this was cute. :)
This was really wholesome.
Adorable! Absolutely amazing, what a short yet fun story! I thought it would be a little sillier, but I truly appreciated how thoughtful Rainbow could be, a nice reminder that she’s the element of Loyalty for a reason! 10/10!
Ive been visiting this site for ten years and this is why I keep coming back. Well done.
:)
This makes me happy

Aww ty glad to keep you returnin'!
Greetings. Your reading has been completed and can be found below. I hope you enjoy.
That was absolutely adorable, I loved the ending so much!
quills, sofas, and umbrellas? that place has everything!
hehe, love how just everypony Rainbow meets is puzzled by this
aww Rainbow is so thoughtful here!
aww! though everything Rainbow says here definitely makes me think she has a reason to think she’ll no longer be in Scootaloo’s life the way she currently is sometime soon. adorable story, thank you for writing!
“Why are you shopping for umbrellas at the quill and sofa store?”
“Because shut up. Shut up is why.”
It’s a sweet story, but I can’t help but think it’d be undercut if Scootaloo already had an umbrella. Especially because, as the story observes, Equestrian weather runs on a schedule and she may have known it was coming. Again, it’s a sweet gesture, but one that sounds better on paper than in execution. (And who’s to say Scootaloo doesn’t also enjoy the rain on her coat?)
Dubious gesture aside, lovely work. Thank you for it.
Aww
Scootalove was some of the stuff I first read on this site, and I love to see it still kicking. This was so sweet and I love what Dash did. Look, Scoots might move needed the umbrella, but as Jinzou said, Dash would totally do this regardless of whether she needed the umbrella or not.
Yeah Scoot and Rainbow the best sister dynamic in G4 and I will gladly die on that hill.
Dawww, they're so cute!
awww, that's adorable. I can't take the cutness
D'aw indeed, glad I got around to reading this.
