Um, let me think… I can't really remember which character this was supposed to be about… I've done pipsqueak, so next should be… Scootaloo I think? Yeah let's go with that.

C'mon, Squirt

Evening was falling over Ponyville, and Scootaloo searched for a place to sleep for the night. It looked like it would be the playground tonight. It was getting dark, and there were dark clouds being put over the town by the weather team. If she stayed out any longer, she would risk getting caught in the rain and catching a cold. Sighing, Scootaloo crawled into a small tunnel and curled up, trying to conserve body heat. She had made it just in time, as the storm broke right after she got in.

It was still fairly early so Scootaloo just watched the rain fall for a few minutes, until she felt a strange wetness crawling under her belly. Looking down she saw that some of the rainwater was pooling into the tunnel she was occupying. Groaning, the filly stood up and went into the rain. In the elements, she had a risk of getting sick, but not as much as if she had sat in the water all night. She quickly ran to a cluster of trees that looked fairly dry and sat down there.

It was tough being an orphan, but she had to be strong, just like Rainbow Dash. It was nice to have somepony to admire, it kept her from straying too far from her morals. All she needed to do was think 'What would Rainbow do?'

Scootaloo sniffled. She truly wished she could be like Rainbow Dash, but at times like these it seemed hopeless. How could she even be considered a pegasus? She couldn't even fly! A tear escaped one of her eyes and fell to the ground, mixing with the rainwater. Scootaloo closed her eyes and curled up into a ball again, ears drooping, when she heard a rustling noise.

She looked up to see Rainbow Dash, smiling gently down at her. "C'mon, Scootaloo," the filly's ears perked up. Rainbow had never used her real name before, preferring to call her 'squirt'. "Let's get you a place to stay."

The older mare wrapped her forelegs around Scootaloo, and they flew to Rainbow's cloud home.

That. Sucked. I'm sorry. I'm not gonna make up some excuse, just that I can't seem to write about Scootaloo. I've tried, but I can never get it quite right.
