This was just a short story I wanted to write as I find Scootaloo's 'worship' of Rainbow Dash adorable.

Scootaloo, Daring do!

With her Rainbow Dash wig carefully placed back on top of the drawer Scootaloo turned to her window giving her a nice wide view of the colourful town of Ponyville. Today was the day. Today she was going to catch up with Rainbow Dash and spend the day with her. She had checked up on everything. Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were busy working, Twilight had taken to her studies and Fluttershy was busy taking care of a small group of abandoned ducklings she had found. The Pegasus ponies had no duties for today, and there were no practice sessions anywhere in town. Outside of work there was nothing of interest happening in Ponyville today.

"This is the day!" said Scootaloo to herself with wide excited eyes. Rainbow Dash would have nothing to do today, and if she knew Rainbow Dash, that fabulous fast pony would quickly be very bored. And that was when she, Scootaloo, would appear to help out, provide something fun to do.

She hadn't quite figured out what that would be yet, but Scootaloo was hoping her hero would just be very pleased to see a fellow pony arrive. She'd be almost bored to tears, but there would be Scootaloo to keep her company. She didn't even need anything special or amazing to happen, no adventures or any other such things- just getting to spend the afternoon with Rainbow Dash would be enough.

"Well as long as…," said Scootaloo as she briefly peered up at the sky.

She was hoping part of Rainbow Dash's boredom would cause her to visit Ponyville looking for something to do. She had been practising more often recently, but Scootaloo still found herself having a lot of problems maintaining flight for any period of time…beyond about four seconds. If Rainbow Dash was in Ponyville Scootaloo could catch up with her. But if the older pony chose to stay in her house today Scootaloo would have no way of reaching her. Well no way outside of stealing a balloon from somewhere, or learning some magic to help her.

And given recent events she wasn't overly keen on such an idea. She didn't want to be left permanently flying, or have her wings taken away and simply float, or end up defying the laws of gravity. She just wanted to meet Rainbow Dash. And even Scootaloo couldn't think of anyway she could turn up at Rainbow Dash's door and have a suitable excuse for being there.

"She'll be here," said Scootaloo, finally starting to notice the amount of ragged holes in her plan. "I hope…"

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were also busy, so if Rainbow Dash didn't appear Scootaloo would quickly find herself in the exact same situation as her idol. Boredom sounded boring.

"Rainbow Dash wouldn't sit around in her house all day," said Scootaloo trying to convince herself. "What would she be doing up there? Reading?"

Thinking it unlikely Scootaloo gripped hold of her helmet and threw it up in the air, standing beneath it perfectly so it slipped down onto her head. With that she grabbed her scooter, pushed open her door and stepped outside.

Her tiny wings went into overdrive as she sped down the pathway towards the centre of Ponyville. A couple of passing ponies gave her waves as she passed them by, Scootaloo giving a quick wave back with one hoof. She sped up, wings somehow finding a little more speed as she suddenly spotted the faintest sign of a Rainbow passing over a building.

It was a few seconds later that she realized the blur seemed to be heading towards her. It started to wobble as it got closer, and Scootaloo too tried to move out of the way. She caught a glimpse of Rainbow Dash, face half worried half confused before they promptly crashed into one another.

"Owww," said Scootaloo picking herself up, noticing her scooter had been chucked across the street. "Wait, oh my gosh are you ok Rainbow Dash?" she asked.

Rainbow Dash too was standing up, and she dusted herself down.

"Heh, it'll take more than that to hurt me," said Rainbow Dash, thrusting out her wings as she spoke.

Scootaloo covered her mouth quickly and just about managed to hide the squeeing noise she made. Rainbow Dash was so cool! Even after someone crashed into her at high speed…

"Are you sure you're ok Rainbow Dash?" asked Scootaloo. "That was a pretty fast collision…"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," said Rainbow Dash, sounding a little distracted. It was then that Scootaloo noticed the older pony was carrying a messenger bag.

"Oooh what's in that Rainbow Dash?" asked Scootaloo. "Something awesome I bet!"

"Yeah I guess," said Rainbow Dash, eyes moving from side to side as though she was hiding something.

"Wow, what would you find awesome?" asked Scootaloo. Maybe it was diamonds, or something magical, or a thunderbolt or a dragon!

"Daring Do," said Rainbow Dash in a quiet voice.

"You did what?" asked Scootaloo.

"No, Daring Do," said Rainbow Dash. "I gotta go now," she said, again sounding distracted.

"See you…I guess," said Scootaloo as Rainbow Dash took off again. Here for a few seconds, and then gone. That wasn't fair!

Daring Do? What the hay was a Daring Do? Some kind of game? A competition? A new friend? Scootaloo watched Rainbow Dash fly away. She was heading in the direction of Twilight's house.

A faint smile crossed Scootaloo's face. Twilight ought to know what a Daring Do was!

Or at least she hoped that Twilight would. Twilight often seemed to know a lot of things, she seemed so clever- Scootaloo guessed she would never learn half as much as what Twilight currently knew. Not that she was more awesome than Rainbow Dash…

Retrieving her scooter Scootaloo placed it back up the right way and climbed on board. Her tiny wings kicked into action again and she rushed passed Pinkie Pie who was busy singing a song to a customer.

Whatever this Daring Do was, Scootaloo was coming to find out!
