I recommend reading the first two stories first to understand how Dash and Scootaloo got to this point.

Twiligeddon is coming... but the only pony who can save us all is cluelessly being tossed around by the whims of fate, and she can't even fly yet! Impossible choices, spirit breaking challenges, and harsh demands riddle Scootaloo's training on her journey to reach her dreams. Hopefully, Dash can keep her alive long enough to meet her destiny...

In the meantime... Celestia is wrestling with demons of her own by trying to answer a nearly impossible question from Twilight that drove her dearest student on an insane quest to rectify Celestia's most grievous past mistake. Can Celestia keep Twilight alive after she meets her destiny? Lines have been crossed, and there's no going back now! Well, in Celestia's case, at least there's no going back again...

Warning: Scootaloo changes physically and emotionally. There is some parts that can be considered Scootabuse during painful training sessions, tests, and now with 200% more really horrible nightmares as she pushes herself past her limits. Mild blood, but nothing gory.

I started writing this during season 3, but I'm trying to keep it universal. Sadly, the treebrary is gone. So, obviously this story takes place before that horned douche Tyrek blew it up.

I like to use a lot of comedic moments in my stories to contrast the more serious moments. It's meant to be a dramatically sad story, but expect some laughs and an appropriate amount of awkwardness.
