Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights by rglloyd When Words Fail Why is she running away from me? Scootaloo watched in innocent heartbreak as Dash bolted down the street. She looked sick, maybe she needs to go home? Her brain somersaulted around, filing through a myriad of fleeting excuses only to find a dark murky pit of self loathing at the end. No… No excuses… She's ditching me… On some level Scootaloo could hear Applejack drawling at her, but she rejected the kind words. Couldn't bring herself to care.

Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights by rglloyd Sage Advice Scootaloo walked beside Dash in silence, staring fixedly on the road skirting Sweet Apple Acres and leading back to Ponyville. Dash ground her teeth subconsciously, deep in thought, mulling over on how to help her little sister. "Would you stop doing that?" Dash started and looked down at Scootaloo, who was still staring at the road. "Do what?" "Grinding your teeth. It's annoying…" Scootaloo looked away uncomfortably. "And it's really bad for them."

"Mmmm…" Scootaloo shot Dash a narrow-eyed warning and flank-bumped her, a feat that almost sent the poor filly bouncing off the porch if it w...

Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights by rglloyd Sisters Derpy recoiled and stared up at Dash, who had heatedly flung the door open with a, "What?! I'm busy!" "Oh, uhm… You didn't come to work, they sent me with a message, and I was worried. Is all…" Derpy would have looked downcast, if her eyes weren't intent on looking everywhere except where she wanted them to. Dash took a deep breath.

Derpy tried her best to look concerned, which made Dash giggle inwardly a little. "Ow, that sounds horrible. Uhm, do...

Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights by rglloyd Worst Morning Ever Rainbow Dash sniffed at the air. Cinnamon, sugar, and strong hints of strawberries trickled back through her muzzle as she halfheartedly flicked a tongue to explore the anomaly that was making it difficult to breathe. She was pleasantly surprised to find, breakfast? She inhaled half a remaining cinnacake, then reached up and tugged at the bag on her face, pulling the loops over her ears she tossed it onto the nightstand. Glancing around through a blurry mess, Scootaloo wriggling at her side caught her attention. Dash propped herself up to get a better look as she blinked ...

Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights by rglloyd Best Night Ever Scootaloo scuffed at the dirt with her back hoof anxiously as she rocked her scooter side to side. Her eyes were glued to the sky, darting back and forth. I know you're out there! she thought with a smirk as her hoof ground the grip pad around its handle. She quickly risked a glance up and down the street. Ponies were going about their business…of being obstacles in her way! Gah, there must be hundreds of them. Scootaloo went over the plan in her head again, glancing at Sugarcube Corner behind her. I'm dead center of the library and Sweetie Belle's sister’s house. If she ...
