Life has been hard for Scootaloo.

But can she overcome her struggles and find a way to go on?

Will she want to once the truth is revealed?

So here is my first story. If there's anything that needs changing or if you have any ideas please don't hesitate to let me know. Can't get better without knowing what's wrong. Thanks to everybody who reads this and giving feedback.

Heart warming. I love it.

D'aww I like that you didn't make the orphanage terrible as is all too common in scootadopt stories. Have a :scootangel:

Great story! Sequeal?

>>rainbowscoot677 Thanks! I have a plan on a sequel of sorts. Will try to get the next part uploaded in the next week or so.

I now have heart pains. I'm not sure whether to curse you or thank you for them. There is one thing I do know, the fact that I need a heavy dose of Scootalove ASAP. I'm going to go find some now, but this like and favorite can stay right here.

Amazing job! I can never find good stories about Scootaloo, and this is one of the first. Keep up the good work!

I am not really sure how I should feel about the last letter. Is she writing this letter now that RD has also passed?
Very good story. That's pretty much all I have to say. :twilightsheepish:

4939554 I'm gonna put this as a spoiler for those that haven't read the story yet.
It's her coping mechanism. She feels guilty for being angry at Rainbow when Rainbow wants to give her a home. So before she left to say yes to Rainbow's adoption she wrote a letter to figure out her feelings.

Ah, alright. Thanks for clearing that up.

That's beautiful man. Really touching. Listening to (DRWOLF001) Dr. Wolf on YouTube do a dramatic reading for this. Great way for my first time reading this.

Glad you like it!

Oh my god! Reading this story while listening to Dr. Wolf's reading made shed a few tears :raritycry:. And November 1st is the same birthday as Scoots mom! Great story!

Feeling so sad and so happy. :pinkiehappy::pinkiesad2:

Dumb question though. Was the second-to-last letter, the one written on July 14, written a year after the previous letter? I went derp when it went from July 17 to July 14.

5022540 Yes. Letters are in chronological order. And glad you liked it!

Now this a very beautiful story. I loved how you decided to format the story into letters. It's just one thing: Beautiful :raritycry::fluttershbad: I'm really hoping that you continue writing and write good stories like this, or even ones that could be better!

The end with Rainbow being cause of her mother death was pretty weak.
How would she even be able to make storm alone? Maybe hundred pegasi would be able to make storm but for one it is impossible. I hope you realize how storm is big and that one pegasus would never be able to make one.

5206220 I completely understand your not agreeing with my particular head-canon. I realize some of my ideas are a little fantastical. I only hope it didn't completely ruin your enjoyment of the story.

A first fic? Fantastic! I'll always praise authors who can write believable children, and this was excellent. :) Maybe a little sappy with that last letter, but overall I enjoyed this. It's the odd letterfic/Orphanloo that really works.

5351502 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :pinkiehappy:

I listened to DRWolf's reading, and I thought he did a great job with it. Scootaloo was believable and relatable.

Keep up the good work!

5437535 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

Hello there!
Thank you a lot for writing this incredibly good story. This was the third time I cried because of ponies. The other two were "My little Dashie" and "Bloomberg". I have to admit though that I didn't read it. I listened to DrWolf's reading. Anyway, as this is your story, I comment here as well. Have a hoof up, a favourite and my tears!

5716990 Glad you enjoyed it! He did a wonderful job!

I know exactly how Scoots feels in the loss department, though I can't imagine being a complete orphan on top. You sir are a talented artist.
I heard this as a reading by Dr wolf.
Well done getting him to do a dramatic reading.

Oh god...*sharp inhale*...here it comes...:raritycry:...AAAAAHHHH...RIGHT IN THE FEELS MAN...RIGHT IN THE FEELS...I have a very soft spot for Scoots:scootangel:

:applecry: Nuff said...

I read many fanfics, with feels long ago. this is one of the few that made me cry.:pinkiesad2: Exept for one I didn't cry because of feels before a whole year ago.
Don't say I don't have a heart, it's just that it hardened with time and feels.
Anyways, good work here. Loved it:raritywink:
