>”Scootalosers never gunna fly!~”
>”Scootalosers never gunna fly!~”
>The insult rings out clearly, pulling you from your stroll around town
>More bullies picking on Scoots?
>Yeah, no
>You turn to the sound to see the aforementioned orange filly almost on the brink of tears, surrounded by other young p0nies
>You frown, even in Equestria, children were still cruel, how disappointing
>In a brisk walk, you march up to the group    
>Walking up right behind the bullies you stop and loudly clear your throat
>All of them jump, some of them letting out short screams as they scramble around to look up at you
>You glare down at them, the effect emphasized thanks to them only being knee height
“And just what is going on here?”
>”We were…uh…umm…” the lead little filly, Diamond you think her name is tries to stall
>You will have none of that
>You point away
“Go”
>In a scramble of hooves, every one of them takes off scampering
>Free of the ankle biters, you kneel down to the sniffling filly
“You alright Scoots?” you ask gently
>She sniffles again, blinking away tears as she mumbles something
“You’ll have to speak up Scoot”
>”…They’re right…”
>…
>Your blood boils at the sentence
>You sigh and look at the downtrodden filly
>*FLICK*
>”Ow!”
>Scootaloo rubs at the smarting red spot on her forehead that your finger gave her
>You place your hands on her shoulders and look into her damp eyes
“Scoot, you can’t believe them, if you do then that means they win.”
>”But-“
>You place a finger on her lips
“I’m not done, let me tell you a little secret”
>You lean down further and whisper into the filly’s ear
>Her eyes go wide as she listens “Really?” she asks, amazed
“Really, and never forget it”
>You raise yourself up
“Comon Scoots, I’ll help you learn to fly, with two of us it will take only half the time”
>Her face lights up, every bit of sadness gone
>You start the walk back to your place, a small, winged, tag-along following
~~~~~~
>“And the winner of the Best Young Flyer competition is…SCOOTALOO!”
>The crowd erupts into cheers as a young orange pegasus mare takes the center award podium, a beaming smile on her face as she accepts the gold, winged tiara
>You smile from your spot in a suite box; she’s came a long away
>In a rush of orange, Scootaloo overtakes your vision
>”Dad, did you see? I won I WON!” she cheers, fluttering in place on her strong wings
“I did kiddo, you do me proud you know that?” your own smile growing
>She blushes bashfully “Thanks Dad…”
“So, how did you do it?” you ask, already knowing the answer
>”Well I just remembered what you said to me all those years ago, after all, you told me to never forget it” Scootaloo says, a nostalgic expression on her face
“And that is?”
>She smiles full force and wraps you in a hug
>”The only thing impossible is impossible itself”
