Scootaloo hummed a tune aimlessly as she walked the road that lead to the White Tail Woods. Today was her first flying lesson with Rainbow Dash. 'Finally! And it only took three years for me to convince her to help me!' Scootaloo knew that Dash had become more occupied with work ever since she became the manager of the weather teams that oversaw any and all weather operations in and around Ponyville.

"I haven't seen her a whole lot lately though...I'm sure she's just been busy these last few months. She's going to be so shocked about how much I've grown." While each of the Crusaders had grown, Scootaloo was now the tallest, standing a half a head taller than both Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom (but still a few inches shorter than most ponies).

While they were both happy for the pegasus, they wished they could see the end of her boasting. However, the thing Scootaloo was most proud of was the increase in her wing size. While she knew that they too would grow with age, she was afraid that they might grow withered and useless as she got to her current age.

However, she was relieved to find that her wings grew normally (which made her estatic). She stretched them out and fluttered them slowly before closing them back against her sides. "Now let's see...She said that she'd meet me around here somewhere..."

Scootaloo scanned the air around the clearing she was in and saw a cloud lazily floating by with a small tuft of rainbow hanging off the side. "Aha! Hey, Rainbow Dash!" Instead of getting an answer, the cloud just continued to float on, with no sign that the prismatic pegasus heard her. Scootaloo puffed her cheeks out in annoyance and walked under the cloud, shouting for Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! C'mon Rainbow Dash! You promised to help me!" Scootaloo cried out, her neck starting to hurt from craning her head up to look at the cloud. So naturally, she didn't see the pony she was about to run into. "Ahh!" She shouted in alarm as she went from seeing a cloud in the blue sky, to a patch of grass on the dirt road.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry about that." Scootaloo lifted her head and saw Fluttershy sprawled out onto the ground in front of her.

"Oh, er...sorry Fluttershy. Guess my head was getting lost in the clouds again."

"It's alright." The yellow pegasus said, brushing herself off.

"Oh! Can you do me a HUGE favour?" The orange pegasus asked, her face inches away from Fluttershy's.

"Of course. What can I do for you?"

"Can you fly up to that cloud and wake up Rainbow Dash for me?"

"Is she up there? I could've swore I saw her in town before I left."

Scootaloo gave her a look of confusion before saying, "Yea, I'm pretty sure. Look, isn't that her tail hanging off the side?" Fluttershy moved her head and up Scootaloo couldn't help but stare at her fellow pegasus's neck as it moved.

"Umm...I think there's a pegasus up there, but I don't think that's Rainbow Dash. See?" Fluttershy waited for a reply, but after hearing silence, she looked down and saw Scootaloo staring intently at her. The timid pony fought the light blush that tried to jump onto her face and said. "Umm...Scootaloo?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry about that. What'd you say?"

"I said, there IS a pegasus up there, but it isn't Rainbow Dash."

"Are you sure? Cuz that looks like...her...tail..." Scootaloo looked up as she spoke, but now that the cloud had moved and she wasn't standing directly under the cloud, she could see that the tail was coloured red instead of rainbow. "Oh...hehehe..." Scootaloo chuckled sheepishly.

"What do you need her for if I may ask?" Fluttershy asked. Scootaloo's chest puffed out a little and her wings flared at her side.

"Nothing really. She's just going to teach me how to fly, that's all." Scootaloo's chest deflated a little as she heard a giggle.

"Best of luck then. Rainbow isn't exactly a nice trainer. Trust me."

"R-right. I'll keep that in mind. Now, you said you saw her in town?" Fluttershy nodded and Scootaloo turned and began running towards Ponyville. "Thanks Fluttershy!" The energetic pegasus shouted as she headed for town. Fluttershy just chuckled and continued towards her cottage home.

As soon as Scootaloo made it into town, she went to the closest pony who she thought would know of Rainbow Dash's location. "Twilight! Have you...seen...Rainbow Dash..." The young pegasus asked in between breaths.

"Huh? Oh, um...I think I saw her heading out towards Sweet Apple Acres. Why, did you need something?" Scootaloo sighed and plopped herself down onto the ground to catch her breath. When her breathing had dropped down to a more normal level, she explained that Rainbow had promised to start giving her flying lessons today. "Ahh, I see. Well, would you like to go with me to Sweet Apple Acres with me?"

"Uh...sure. But why do you need to go out there?"

The librarian smiled and helped Scootaloo up off the ground and said, "Apple Bloom took a book from the library a week ago and I need to go remind her that it'll be overdue soon."

"Can you do that? I mean, don't libraries just send a bill if a book is overdue or something?"

"Yes, but I think more for the safety of the book than the cost." Scootaloo rolled her eyes as Twilight simply grinned. As they headed out towards the workplace and home of the Apple family, the two ponies conversed on many things (most being things about Scootaloo's schoolwork). When they arrived, they both saw a rainbow blur fly past them back towards town.

"Ugh..." Scootaloo said with an irritated sigh.

"Why not just try tomorrow? She may be busy with weather preparations. If I remember right, there's going to be a storm coming later on this week."

"A storm? Just my luck..."

Twilight gently patted the younger pony's head and said, "Hey, if anything else, I'll try and get ahold of her sometime this week before the storm and tell her that she has a promise to keep, alright?"

Scootaloo nodded and said, "Thanks Twilight. Guess I'll see ya later than. Tell Apple Bloom I said hi, okay?"

"You got it." Twilight waved as Scootaloo trudged her way back towards town. "Yea...she's probably just busy and forgot is all..." The young pegasus sighed as she saw the moon creeping up over the east horizon as the sun lowered itself over the west. "Guess I should head back home." With a defeated flip of her hair, she continued towards Ponyville.

The next morning, Scootaloo was brought back to reality by a series of knocks on her door. "Coming..." She mumbled aloud, rubbing her eyes as she clambered out of bed. She was surprised at who she saw. "Mom? What're you doing here?" Scootaloo asked, moving out of the way to allow her mother entrance into her home.
The older mare was a pale yellow colour with a dull vermillion mane that curled around her neck and a tail that was cropped just below her back knees. Her cutie mark was of a ballerina shoe, showcasing her talent as a dancer (something she kept trying to pass onto Scootaloo).

"Just thought I'd come and see how my baby was doing." Scootaloo groaned as a light tinge came onto her face.

"Please mom..."

"Right, sorry hun. But how are you?"

"I'm alright. Didn't think you'd be back from vacation for at least another week."

"Me neither, but you can only do so much in Fillydelphia before you get bored." Scootaloo smiled as she watched her mom move throughout the kitchen.

"Guess that's where I get my restlessness from."

Her mom laughed aloud and said, "Must be. Celestia forbid you get something from your father." Scootaloo rolled her eyes and began to help her mother prepare breakfast.

"So tell me, did you really just want to come see how I was doing or did you just want to make me breakfast?"

Her mother just gave a sheepish smile and said, "I'm eating too." The two mares laughed and continued to cook together. As they were catching up and waiting, another knock came at the door. "My, aren't you popular today."

"Yea, and it's only twelve in the afternoon." Scootaloo said with a smile. Once again, she was surprised at who was at the door. "R-r-Rainbow Dash?!"

"The one and only!" Scootaloo had to keep her jaw closed for fear it would fall off onto the floor.

"H-how do you know where I live?" She asked, stepping aside to let her idol in.

"I asked around. Nice place ya got here Scoots." The rainbow pegasus said with a whistle, inspecting the place. "Needs a few more Wonderbolts posters...plus at least one more of yours truly."

"Y-yeah. Oh! Hey, I want you to meet someone!" Scootaloo led Rainbow into the kitchen and said, "Rainbow Dash, this is my mom Sky Dancer. Mom, this is Rainbow Dash."

"Ahh yes. My daughter speaks highly of you Ms. Dash." The mother said, shaking hooves with the cyan pegasus.

"Heh, yea. I get that a lot." Dash said with a grin. "So, you ready to begin your training Scoots?"

"Training? What training?" Sky Dancer asked, giving her daughter a look of confusion.

"Rainbow Dash is going to help me learn to fly." Sky Dancer looked at Rainbow, then back to her daughter.

"Scootaloo, if this is such a big problem to you, I can help you or-"

"No! I mean...no thank you mom. Besides, Rainbow Dash is the best flier in all of Ponyville, right?"

"Of course! And not just Ponyville, but all of Equestria!" Dash struck a pose that made her mane flow behind her head as her wings flared out.

"Er...that's...nice. Listen sweetheart, I'll talk to you later, alright?" Sky Dancer kissed Scootaloo's forehead and headed for the door.

"Wait, aren't you gonna-"

"Sorry hun, but I just remembered that I...have a haircut and I'm going to be late!" With that, the front door was closed, leaving Scootaloo alone with her hero.

"So tell me, how long have you been living on your own?"

"Not for too long. Maybe...a few months?"

"Impressive." Rainbow followed Scootaloo as she gave the older pegasus a tour of her home. Most of it was painted a dark blue with the exception of the bathroom, which was painted a cool green. "Did you paint this all yourself?"

"I had some help from my mom on some of the harder to reach spots, but yea. I pretty much redid everything. It all used to be some weird red colour and it just looked...bleh."

Dash laughed and said, "Yea, red isn't really the best colour for a house, but blue...I can dig blue."

"Heh, yea. Well...that's pretty much my house."

"Hold on...what about your bedroom?" Scootaloo couldn't stop the dark blush that rushed onto her face.

"Er...y-yea. I just uh...I figured you wouldn't want to see it. It's uh...really dirty."

Dash shrugged and said, "Can't be worse than my room. C'mon, show me." Scootaloo swallowed the lump in her throat and silently led Dash to the back where her room is.

'Okay...don't panic. Your lifelong hero and the mare you have a HUGE crush on is coming to your room...It probably won't be like that...but what if it is? What do I do!? Am I ready for this? I mean...I've dreamt about it for a long time but-' Scootaloo's thoughts were cut short as she ran face-first into her door. She heard Dash snicker, but didn't say anything. 'Okay...here goes nothing.' Scootaloo took a deep breath and opened the door.

Inside, the room was washed in a faint lavender colour from the sun peaking out over the black curtain she had over her window and reflecting off the violet walls. However, the violet had no effect on the lush green blanket that covered the queen sized bed she slept on (both were gifts from her mother). It was WAY too big for Scootaloo alone, but she didn't mind too much.

"Hmm..." Was all Scootaloo heard before Dash rushed by her and flopped down onto the bed. Scootaloo could barely keep herself from passing out at the sight in front of her. Rainbow Dash was lying on the bed on her stomach with her back legs spread, giving Scootaloo a good look (or at least it would be if Dash was a bit more...excited) of her legs and everything in between, despite the fact that everything was smooth.

The orange pegasus could feel her restraint slowly disappearing as she felt the magic around her lower parts start to fade. "Eh, this bed is nice...but it's no cloud that's for sure." Dash began to turn around, so Scootaloo bolted from the room and said, "I need to pee!" When she was safely locked in the restroom, Scootaloo sighed and simply sat on the edge of her tub.

"C'mon...go away..." She whispered at the partially exposed flesh between her legs. "Now's NOT the time for this." She mumbled angrily.

"Hey, you almost done in there?"

"Y-yea!"

"Alright. I'm gonna go eat some of those pancakes you made earlier while I wait, kay?"

"That's fine." Scootaloo sighed as she heard Dash's muffled hooves leave the hallway and go down the stairs. Thankfully, Scootaloo was able to leave the bathroom before too much time passed.

"I gotta hand it to ya Scoots...these pancakes are pretty good."

"T-thanks. My mom helped make them though, so I can't take all the credit." The younger pegasus explained as the older one devoured what little food she had left. When she finished, Rainbow washed her plate and stretched, giving a loud sigh.

"Okay squirt, ya ready for what's in store?"

"Yea! I can't wait!"

Rainbow chuckled and said, "Then let's go." On the way out of town, the two pegasi talked of various things (thought it was mostly about the Wonderbolts).

Finally, Scootaloo asked, "So...how's life going for ya?"

"Huh? What do ya mean?" Rainbow gave the younger of the two a strange look.

"I mean...like...how is your life outside of work and stuff?"

"Umm...like what?"

"Er...like...your bachelorette life? I mean, a good lookin' pegasus like you MUST get tons of guys to ask you out right?" Rainbow grinned and Scootaloo swallowed a lump in her throat.

"I see what this is about."

"Y-you do?"

"Yup." Rainbow stopped and looked at Scootaloo and said, "You like a guy, don't'cha?"

"Heh...kinda...Thought, it's more like a mare than a stallion..."

Rainbow laughed and said, "Kickin' it outside the norm huh? I like that. So, who is she? Do I know her?"

"No! I mean...I don't think so. She's been in Ponyville awhile, but she doesn't go out much."

Rainbow nodded and said, "Well, all ya gotta do is go up to her, plant a kiss right on her lips and ask if she wants to go steady." By this point, Rainbow Dash was a few inches away from Scootaloo, her eyes locking with Scootaloo's eyes and trapping her in one place.

'Her eyes are so beautiful...' Was the only thought that Scootaloo's mind could process as Rainbow's cerise eyes gazed into her pale lavender ones.

"Well, enough fooling around." The cyan pegasus said, turning away and looking up into the sky. Scootaloo rubbed her face and nodded to herself.

'Okay Scoots, keep it together.'

"Alright squirt, first things first; stretching." Rainbow began to her body and wings and all Scootaloo could do was watch in total silence. To Scootaloo, every move that Rainbow made was fluid and graceful. The way her muscles moved, the way her wings beat; everything was perfect. "Just like that. Now you try." Scootaloo snapped to attention and nodded.

'Crap...what did she do?' So, the orange mare did the first few stretches that came to mind; the most basic of all stretches.

"Great! Now then..."

When Dash had finally decided to call it quits, it was four in the morning. "Ugh...I've never been so sore." Scootaloo groaned as she kicked open the door to her home. "I hope I'll get up in time for school..." She glanced over to the table in the living room and saw papers spilling out of her saddlebags. "Crap...I have homework..."

The pegasus clambered onto the couch and began her work. While the work itself wasn't hard, it was the sheer amount that bothered her. "I'm never gonna get to bed at this rate." She growled, leering at the paper as if to make it disappear. However, when that didn't work, Scootaloo sighed and continued to work.

The next time she put her pencil down, the sun was peaking over the west horizon. The mare squinted and moved her foreleg to block her eyes from the brightness. "What time is it..." She mumbled with a tired sigh. She glanced up at the clock behind her and saw that it was six-thirty. "Ugh...." Scootaloo slammed her head down onto the table and grumbled.

It wasn't long before her stomach began to grumble with her. "Yea yea, I hear ya." The pony stumbled into the kitchen and quickly made herself a bowl of cereal. After wolfing it down and washing her bowl, she made her way upstairs and hopped into the shower. As she was washing her mane, a thought occurred to Scootaloo.

'Maybe I can just...skip school today. Hmm...no. If anypony saw me, they'd wonder why I wasn't in school and all that hassle. Ugh.' She rinsed her mane out and then hopped out, turning off the shower and drying herself off with the nearby towel. As she brushed her mane, she looked up at the small clock above the bathroom door.

It read seven-forty. "Ahh! I'm gonna be late! Oh, Burnt Oak is gonna kill me!" She threw her brush back into the bathroom before rushing downstairs to stuff everything into her saddlebags and heading for school. When she arrived, she was out of breath and her body was on fire. 'Never run when body is sore....'

She moaned inside her head. "Ahh, how nice of you to join us Scootaloo." The pony in question winced and turned to see her teacher Burnt Oak standing behind her, glaring at her.

"Er...hello Mr. Oak."

"Take your seat." Was all he said before moving past her to go to the front of the room.

"What happened? You look like you just ran a marathon." Sweetie Belle whispered.

"I'll tell you later. Where's Apple Bloom?"

"She has family coming down so she got to stay home to help with...whatever it is they're going to be doing." Scootaloo nodded and turned her attention to the board. However, she could only listen for so long before her eyes began to wander and her mind began to lose interest.

She already knew most of the material from this lesson, so she figured she'd be fine with just a small mental break. As she looked out the nearby window, she could've swore she saw a rainbow streak across the sky and loop around to begin some aerial maneuvers.

"Scootaloo! What's the answer to this problem?" The orange pegasus snapped back to attention and saw an angry stallion and a problem on the board.

"Umm...thirty-six?"

Burnt Oak's eyes narrowed into daggers as he said, "Correct, but stop looking outside. You're here to learn, not daydream." The purple maned pony sighed in relief and watched the board until school was over.

"That was a close save this morning. What were you watching anyways?"

"Thanks, and I saw Rainbow Dash flying around, practicing her tricks." Sweetie Belle smiled and rolled her eyes. Both her and Apple Bloom knew of Scootaloo's crush on the older mare and while they both thought it was adorable, they also teased her relentlessly about it.

"Well well well, if it isn't the flightless chicken of Ponyville." Both mares looked up to see a young pegasus stallion from their class, a smug look on his face as he flapped his wings.

"Well, if it isn't the biggest ego in Ponyville." Scootaloo shot back.

"Pff, nice. You stay up all night thinking that one up."

"No, you must be confusing me with yourself."

The stallion growled and said, "At least I can fly." With that, he turned and flew off.

"What a creep. Eventually you'll show him that you CAN fly, right?"

"Of course! After training with Rainbow Dash, him and every other pegasus that mocks me will be left speechless as I soar effortlessly through the air." To stress the point, Scootaloo's wings shot out from her sides and she struck a pose, making Sweetie Belle applause.

"Well, I hope the training goes well for you."

"Where're you going?"

"I'm going to spend time with Rarity today so I can't go crusading today."

"Oh, alright. That just gives me more time with Rainbow Dash."

Sweetie Belle snickered and said, "Go get'er." It took Scootaloo a moment to register what Sweetie had said before a large blush coloured her face.

"S-shut up!" This made the snickering turn to laughter. Scootaloo just glared at her friend as she continued to laugh and walk towards the Carousel Boutique, leaving Scootaloo behind. "I'll show them that it's not just infatuation..." Scootaloo turned and began to head towards the clearing that had been designated as the meeting place for her and Rainbow.

While she did love Rainbow, her friends just told her it was simply infatuation. 'She probably just loves you like a younger sister is all. I hate to be rude, but don't put too much stock into a relationship with her.' Sweetie Belle had told her once. Scootaloo frowned and stomped her hoof down, leaving a small indent in the earth.

"I'll show them too. I WILL learn to fly and I WILL be Rainbow's marefriend." With a nod, Scootaloo ran towards the edge of White Tail Woods. When she arrived, Rainbow Dash was already there, napping on a low flying cloud. "Hey! I'm here!" She heard a light snort from the cloud, then saw Rainbow's face hang over the side of a cloud, her eyes hazy and her movements slow.

"Oh, hey squirt. I'll be down in a sec." Rainbow's head disappeared and a few minutes later, she hovered down to the ground. "Alright, you ready for today's session?"

"Yes Ma'am!"

Dash chuckled and said, "I like your spirit. Alright, we'll start with stretches and pick up from yesterday." Scootaloo nodded and began to stretch. "Whoa whoa whoa, hold on there kid. We're doing different stretches today. Watch and learn." So, Scootaloo watched as Dash began to do stretches that were obviously more complex than what they had done yesterday. "Alright, now you try."

"Alright." Scootaloo made it through the first few with no problem. However, on the last few, she messed up right at the end.

She heard Rainbow sigh and say, "Close, but try again. Watch me." So, the prismatic pegasus repeated the stretches with Scootaloo doing them right along side her. However, the last two tripped her up once again, causing her to fall flat on her face.

"Can we just move on..." Scootaloo asked, spitting out a few crumbs of dirt that had found their way into her mouth.

"Nope. We're going to keep working on this until you get it. Now get up and let's try again." The orange pegasus groaned and started to repeat the stretch. It took her several more tries before she got it done the way Dash had wanted. "Great! Now as a reward, you can take a break and watch what you'll be able to do once we get you airborne."

Before Scootaloo could say anything, Dash was up into the air and flying around, showing off her moves to her one pony audience. Naturally, Scootaloo watched in awe as the older mare flew loop-de-loops with ease, or how she would drop into a dive and pull up at the last second.

'I can't WAIT until I can do that!' Her wings fluttered in excitement as Rainbow Dash preformed any and all tricks she had in her repertoire with no difficulty whatsoever. This lasted for about an hour before Dash finally came back down.

"Like what'cha see huh?" Scootaloo just nodded and before she could say anything, Rainbow Dash put her hoof under Scootaloo's chin and looked her straight in the eyes. "All you gotta do is want it and before ya know it...you'll be up there!"

Dash pushed Scootaloo's chin up and the two gazed into the pure blue sky. Scootaloo nearly fell when Rainbow suddenly removed her hoof from under Scootaloo's chin. "Now let's get back to work."

Scootaloo moaned as her sore muscles protested any movement at all. While she had managed to get away from the training at a decent time, her body still ached. "It'll all be worth it though." Scootaloo told herself as she slowly eased into the warm bath she had drawn for herself.

She winced as the warm water met her skin, but sighed happily after she was comfortably sitting in the water. As her muscles relaxed, she felt a small urge to sleep rise up. "That'd be nice...but I have homework..." She mumbled, submerging her head under the soapy water.

Scootaloo ran her hooves through her mane, getting rid of the dirt, bits of grass, and small knots that littered it after the training. She popped back up from under the water and rinsed her hair off before draining the water and drying herself off. She stretched her wings out and while it hurt, it felt good for her to get them away from her sides.

"Now to do homework." She scrubbed her mane with her towel and just left it on her head as she trotted down the stairs. Before sitting down, she headed into the kitchen to grab something to drink, then flicked on her radio. She changed the station a few times before getting down to work. Luckily for her, she had managed to finish a lot of the work in school so there wasn't too much for her this time.

However, she underestimated how little there actually was because when she had finished, it was only nine-twenty. "Huh...what do I do now?" She fell back onto the couch and looked up at her ceiling. "Maybe go for a walk..." Scootaloo suggested to nopony but herself.

After laying there for another few minutes, she got up, tossed the towel back onto the couch, and headed out the door, locking it behind her. As she walked, Scootaloo couldn't help but admire the way the moonlight illuminated the ground, buildings, everything that it touched was brought up in a faint blue glow.

'Wow...maybe I should go walking at night more often...' As the pegasus walked, she failed to notice the pegasus walking in the opposite direction, admiring the moonlit scenery in a similar manner. It wasn't long before the two bumped into each other. Scootaloo groaned for a moment and said, "Sorry about that. Wasn't really paying attention."

"No, it was my fault. Sorry." A timid voice replied. Scootaloo turned and saw Fluttershy dusting herself off.

"Fluttershy? What're you doing out at this hour?"

"I could ask you the same thing young lady." Scootaloo fought the small blush that was crawling onto her face.

"I-I'm not a young lady! I'm an adult!" The chuckle that followed didn't help the blush.

"Right, I'm sorry. But really, what are you doing? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

"Well yea, but I finished my homework early, so I figured I'd go for a calming night-time walk. What're you doing out? Don't you have animals to take care of?"

"That's actually what I was doing. Not a whole lot of animals actually live with me nowadays. So, I have to make house calls basically." Scootaloo nodded and stood there for a moment before Fluttershy spoke again. "Would you like to walk with me? A little company would be wonderful."

"Sure. It'd be nice to have somepony to talk to." As the two ponies walked in and around town, they spoke of many topics; animals, school, flying, weather, life. Just about anything was brought up and spoken about.

"So...tell me, are there any stallions in your life? You've become quite the beautiful mare." Scootaloo nearly dropped in embarrassment.

"W-well...uhh..n-not really. I mean...some are nice but most of them are jerks. But...there is a pony I really like..." Scootaloo had stopped walking by now and was drawing small circles in the dirt.

"May I ask who?" If it were possible, Scootaloo's coat would've rivaled that of Big Mac's.

"Well...it's..." The last of the sentence was lost in mumbles.

"Hmm? I didn't quite catch that." Scootaloo felt strange. Usually it was Fluttershy who would be the one who's sentences were lost in shy mumbles while Scootaloo was always ready to speak her mind.

"I said...I love...Rainbow Dash..." She expected Fluttershy to either gasp, run away, or lecture her about how it wasn't exactly normal for a mare to love another mare.

"Oh?"

"Y-yea..."

"I see. Well...I wish you the best of luck in your love life."

Scootaloo nodded and asked, "Thanks...but what about you? Surely you must have a mare or stallion in your life by now?" This time it was Fluttershy's turn to become red.

"N-no...I mean...I'm not exactly the prettiest pony and-"

"No way! You are like...one of THE prettiest mares I've ever seen! You should be able to get a lover easily!" Fluttershy's cheeks tinged pink while Scootaloo's burned dark red. "Er..."

"I'm flattered you think so, but not many ponies share your opinion."

"Well...their loss."

The yellow pegasus smiled and said, "Well...I'll talk to you later, okay?" Scootaloo gave her a look of confusion until Fluttershy pointed past her. The orange pegasus turned around and saw that they were standing in front of her house.

"Wow...Er...Thanks Fluttershy. I'll talk to ya later." The canary pegasus gave a wave and headed for her cottage home while Scootaloo went into her own home. As Scootaloo ascended her stairs, she felt...lighter. Like the whole conversation with Fluttershy had taken a weight off her shoulders. As the young pegasus crawled under her blankets and closed her eyes, she sighed happily as she drifted into the realm of dreams.

Author's Note

Well, you ponies waited eagerly and here is the reward for that waiting! Hope I didn't make TOO many mistakes and if I did...I hope they aren't noticeable XD
