Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
"So, you remember what I told you, huh?" Rainbow Dash touched down on my front lawn. Her wings settled on either side of me. "Ease into the liftoff. Don't strain your muscles, Keep the wings even, but move your body around—throw your weight into where you wanna go."
"Uhhhh... y-yeah..." I climbed down and trotted evenly onto the springy grass. "I mean... it's a lot to take in... and it'll take some practice..."
"Heh... you got that right," she said, smiling in the afternoon glow. "Not everypony can learn that sort of stuff overnight."
"Cuz everypony isn't you." I winked hard. "Right?"
"A+! That's your grade for the day, squirt!"
"Heheh! Alright!"
"Well, I got stuff I gotta get to," Rainbow said. "But this was super cool."
"Yeah! Totally!" I grinned. "But, like, I've got some chores to do today. But I'll practice between now and the time we do lessons again! I promise!"
"You'll learn faster than in any Flight Camp!" Rainbow pointed. "And that's a promise!"
"Heheh... okay!"
"Later, kiddo." She turned around with a flick of the tail and spread her wings again. "There are buckable clouds out there with my name on it."
"Hey... uh... Rainbow Dash!"
"Hmm?" She looked over her shoulder. "What's up, Scoots? Besides me in ten seconds."
I opened my mouth—but nothing came out. At least at first. Two breaths later, I found myself quietly murmuring: "A knight in shining armor doesn't always have to be a dude, huh?"
She looked at me. For a while, I didn't know whether she would smile or frown. To my joy, she took the happier of the two routes. "No, kid. You're right. Not always."
I gulped, then smiled. "I'm... uh... I'm really glad that Applejack is okay."
She nodded. "So am I, Scoots." The wind kicked at her hair, and yet the warmth in her face remained. "Top of the world."
FWOOOOSH!
And then she was gone.
I stared up into the wild blue yonder, unable to make her out from the rest of the bright world anymore. I realized soon enough that I didn't have to. Rainbow Dash would always be around. Always.
With a curious spring to my step, I galloped into the household and enjoyed the rest of my Saturday.

This chapter made me happy. Very. Very. Happy.
Scootaloo is definitely on to her. Maybe not. We'll see.
I really like these chapters from Scootaloo's perspective and hope we see more in the future. The provide a nice 'break' if you will from all the "awesomeness" of Rainbow Dash's life and give us a look into the actual narrator of the story.
It's great that she's this perceptive, and able to read between the lines of Rainbow's words. She seems to be ok with Rainbow's response, perhaps not fully understanding the implications of it, but making the connection that Rainbow did kiss Applejack and not reacting negatively does suggest that either she's open minded or Equestria doesn't have much against same sex relationships (or I'm reading too much into a 451 word chapter, and Scoots is just too innocent to think anything of Rainbow and the implications :p).
Sharp as a tack, that kid.
All abooooaaaaarrrrd!

Nice to see she's catching on. It certainly wouldn't hurt Rainbow to have another confidante.
Hmm, it's almost as if Rainbow is learning to open up. Weird.
After my week off, I'm back. And what a nice group of chapters I found.

5964464 Congratulations. You're the new Swan Song.
I love Scootaloo's line as she figures it out. Heart-breakingly sweet. See, this is why Scoots is Best Filly.

Ooooohh... Swan song... a ship.
I JUST got that.
Thank you Scoots! THANK YOU!
Scoots figured it out?
Ok, so Scoots somehow just figured it out, whilst meanwhile everypony else is completely friggin’ oblivious, apparently. XD Although, it’s been my hypothesis for a while now that, in the end, Pinkie’s will have known the entire time.
heck yes, break the heteronormativity scoots!
