There's a reason that I went by the name "Scootaloved" when I first joined (and I still have a note of it in my signature). The sisterly relationships for the other two pairs are adorable and amazing, but Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo will always have my favorite relationship of the series. Maybe it's because of the implications of Scootaloo's home life (even if her parents are loving as can be they're clearly not around enough to give her the support she needs, and to me it's pretty evident that Scootaloo's looking up to Rainbow was a way of helping her through what was a pretty lonely fillyhood), or the fact that Scootaloo positively influences Rainbow Dash to be a better pony for her sake, or how the two actually had to work to develop their relationship rather than it being a gimme, but the two of them are just really, really precious to me.

When I first joined the fandom, there was an idea that was prevalent in it that I wasn't particularly fond of and didn't support; I'm not going to go into details about it other than to say that the implication was that Rainbow and Scootaloo had a bad relationship, and I was so, so happy when show-canon completely dashed it. If you can find no other merit in Rainbow's character, the very least you can reflect is that she's a supportive, caring older sister to Scootaloo, somepony you can tell direly needed the support in her life.
