(Submitted March 29th, 2013. Rewritten as of April 26th, 2013. This is a spiritual predecessor to What's Really the Most Important. Pay close attention to the disclaimer at the bottom, as I'm getting tired of defending myself! I absolutely love feedback and comments, but if you're here to 'convert me from my ignorance', shoo!)

Rainbow Dash is a couple weeks into her new job as big sister to Scootaloo and things seem going great. She bought a house for them to live in and is ready to take care of the filly like she were flesh and blood. Unfortunately, the latest hair-brained scheme of the Cutie Mark Crusaders places their lives in danger. The crusaders went too far this time, and have earned just punishment. Scootaloo was sent to her room as Rainbow Dash debates how far she's going to have to go to discipline Scoot properly.

(Warning: Contains spanking! This type of fic is not for everyone, so if you're someone who absolutely cannot see the difference between firm and loving discipline and legitimate child abuse, this isn't for you.

This is Scootalove, not Scootabuse!)
