Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash: Sisters Forever

The next day, 6:00 AM

"Scootaloo?"

Scooaloo squirmed and woke up. She saw Rainbow Dash standing next to her.

"Rainbow Dash?"

"Yeah, Squirt. Come on, time to go home. I've got a surprise for you." Rainbow Dash took Scootaloo and carried her in her hooves and began to take off, leaving a note for the Spoons for when they woke up to let them know that she came to pick Scootaloo up. She took off for her cloud house.

Three hours later...

Scootaloo woke up for a second time, this time in her own bed. She sat up and stretched, feeling something warm and wet on her flank. After removing her wet diaper, throwing it in the trash and cleaning herself, she walked down to the kitchen, only to receive a kick in the muzzle by the aroma of her favorite breakfast. Rainbow Dash was at the table, asleep, with her face in her pancakes.

"Rainbow Dash?" Rainbow Dash stirred and woke up. Scootaloo laughed when she saw an excess pancake stuck to her face. Rainbow Dash peeled the pancake off of her face and looked at Scootaloo.

"Hey, Scoots. What's up?"

"Nothing. Can I get some breakfast?"

"Sure. Get some and then sit down. I wanna talk to you. Got a little surprise for ya" Scootaloo got her breakfast, sat down, and started to eat. "Squirt, I went to Canterlot yesterday because I was requested by the princesses. Next weekend, they want me and you to come for dinner."

"Really? Cool!"

"Yeah, also, I want to do something you have begged me to do for a long time. I'm going to teach you how to fly." Scootaloo spit out a big mouthful of apple juice for an unusual amount of time.

"You are?!"

"Yes, Squirt. During the doctor's appointment, Nurse Redheart told me that your wings have made a very well improvement due to a change in your eating habits. I'm going to teach you how to fly!" Scootaloo ran over to Rainbow Dash and hugged her tight.

"Thank You, Rainbow Dash!!"

"No problem, Squirt. Anyway, I heard about your relationship with Silver Spoon." Scootaloo's smile dropped to a scared frown.

"What?!"

"Yep."

"Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry!" Scootaloo began to cry into Rainbow's coat.

"Scoots. Don't cry. I'm not mad at you, I'm happy for you. This is what you and Silver Spoon wanted. I'm not mad or anything"

"*sniffle* Really?"

"Yeah. In fact, I think it's kinda cu... ca... c-c-c-c cute!", Rainbow said, having trouble saying an "uncool" word.

"Thanks, Rainbow Dash."

"No problem, Squirt. So, finish your breakfast, then go get ready. We'll get started with your training outside at ground level once you're ready".

"OK, Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo finished her breakfast and joined Rainbow Dash. The two went up down to the ground and started the session.

"OK, Squirt. The way you take off is to start with this position." Rainbow extended her wings so that they pointed into the air. She then bent over and got into a position similar to a "down" push-up. "Try it" Scootaloo nodded and tried the position the best she could. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough.

"Like this?"

"Yeah. Now, you have to push off of the ground to lift, while at the same time, flapping your wings." Rainbow Dash did so. "You try" Scootaloo took a deep breath and tried to do the same. She was able to stay in the air for about two seconds before falling back down. She tried again, only getting the same result. "OK, Scoots. You are able to lift for about two seconds. Don't worry, you will get better. So, let me see your wing." Rainbow Dash checked Scootaloo's wing and then the other. "Alright. Your wings are about three inches taller, so you are capable of flying."

"Rainbow Dash"

"Yeah?"

"Will I be able to fly?"

"You are capable of flying, so you may learn to fly."

"I hope so" Scootaloo had a sad look on her face. Rainbow Dash knelt down to Scootaloo's level and placed a comforting hoof on Scootaloo's shoulder.

"It's OK, Scoots. You're probably just having a few problems since this is your first time learning to fly. Wanna try again?" Scootaloo nodded. Scootaloo pushed against the ground, flapping her wings and lifted. This time, however, she didn't fall back down. She was hovering about two hooves off the ground. Scootaloo was shocked, she was actually hovering.

"Rainbow Dash, I'm flying!"

"Well, hovering, but cool! Can you go higher?""

"Umm... I'll try" Scootaloo flapped her wings harder, lifting higher into the air. She was now about six hooves off the ground, and level to the front door or Rainbow's cloud house. Scootaloo was very excited. She was close to learning to fly. Rainbow Dash flew up to her level to encourage her.

"Good job, Scoots! You doing good! Can you go any higher?"

"Yes!" Scootaloo flapped her wings as hard as she could, lifting higher into the air. Now at ten hooves above the ground, Scootaloo looked down. She was so high up. This was a very new feeling. The wind blew through Scootaloo's mane, making Scootaloo feel so good. Rainbow Dash flew up to Scootaloo's level.

"How does it feel, Scoots?"

"It feels so good, Rainbow Dash!!!!!!! Now I see why you love to fly!!!!"

"OK, Scoots, let's get back down to the ground! Don't want you to get too tired!"

"OK, Rainbow Dash!" The two slowly lowered back down to the ground and shook off any water from the clouds they picked up.

"Great job, Scoots!! You can hover!!! This means that you are very close to flying!!!"

"Cool!!!! I can't wait to show my friends tomorrow at school!!!"

"Yeah". A loud rumble came from both of their stomachs. "How about we go to Sugarcube Corner and get some treats? I could really go for an apple pie with chocolate ice cream"

"Me too! Let's go!!" Scootaloo hopped on Rainbow's back and the two went off to Sugarcube Corner.

The two made it to Sugarcube Corner and entered. Luckily, they arrived after-hours, so it was just them and Pinkie Pie, who was stuffing her face with cotton candy that was in the refrigerator. Pinkie looked up from her cotton candy at Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo.

"Hi, Rainbow Dash. Hi, Scootaloo", she said, "what's up?"

"Hey, Pinkie", Rainbow Dash said, "just wondering if Scootaloo and I could order some stuff."

"Sure. But you don't have to pay. On the house!"

"Cool! Thanks, Pinkie!"

"You're welcome, Dashie! So, what would you like?"

"Scoots and I each want an apple pie with chocolate ice cream on top."

"Yep", Scootaloo said.

"OK, would you like a milkshake with that?", Pinkie asked.

"Sure.", Rainbow said, "Vanilla, please"

"Chocolate for me!", Scootaloo said.

"Okie Dokey Lokie! Be out in a few minutes!" Pinkie went into the kitchen to make the orders while Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo sat at a table and waited patiently.

"Hey, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes?", Scootaloo said.

"I'm very proud of you, Scoots. You have mastered hovering, and now you are close to flying."

"Thanks, Rainbow Dash!"

"No problem, Squirt" A few minutes later, the oven dinged and Pinkie came back with two apple pies topped with chocolate ice cream, and two milkshakes, one chocolate and one vanilla.

"Here ya go!", she said.

"Thanks, Pinks", Rainbow said, then shoved her whole face into the pie. Scootloo giggled and then started to eat her own pie. Pinkie Pie left and then returned with some cotton candy and a strawberry milkshake for herself. She sat down next to Scootaloo and began to eat her cotton candy.

"Hey, Scootaloo", Pinkie said.

"Yes, Pinkie?"

"Congratulations on your new relationship with Silver Spoon!"

"You know, too?"

"Yep-yep-yep! Rainbow Dash told me. You must really love her!"

"Yes, I love her with all my heart".

"Again, congratulations." Pinkie dove back into her cotton candy and Scootaloo went back to her own food. Scootaloo smiled. Her life was getting better and better ever since she was separated from Light Cloud. Scootaloo looked at Rainbow Dash, who was still stuffing her face.

"Thank you, Rainbow Dash, for everything", she mumbled under her breath. She looked up at the sky. "And thank you too, Daddy. I love you"

She could hear a soft voice reply to her sentence.

"I love you too, Scootasweetie"
