Losing sucks. Nobody likes to lose, especially Scotaloo. Like her idol, she too is incredibly competitive and has a need for victory. But you don't win every time and unfortuantely, Scotaloo learns that the hard way. Devastated, she hides away from her friends in shame.

Rainbow hears of a poor filly who's given up, and upon finding out it's Scotaloo of all ponies, she doesn't waste a second.
