Scootaloo couldn't sleep she was woken up by nightmares, (made from her story of course) she wouldn't sleep for more than an hour. She was glad she was woken up because it gave more ideas to her gory story. She checked her clock it was nine A.M. She rubbed her mane and went to the kitchen and grabbed a juice box and sat on her desk. She stared at the flyer, she saw that she had two more days she might have had plenty of time left but she was worried what other fillies and colts stories would be. She sat on her desk since four A.M. She kept writing her story until she heard her front door being knocked on. "Huh?" Scootaloo walked downstairs and checked who it was. The purple earth pony asked to come in Scootaloo knew her so she opened the door. "Liston Scootaloo I realized that you weren't in class today why is that?" asked the purple earth pony teacher.
"Well...I was writing a story for a contest I entered" Scootaloo nervously smiled.
"Oh, well, may I read what you have?" asked Ms. Cherilee.
Scootaloo smiled nervously, "Sure," Scootaloo gave her the first page she wrote and waited.
A long silence swept the air again as Cherilee lowered the piece of paper, she almost gagged in disgust and that was just the beginning. "So what did you think?" asked Scootaloo.
"Um...it was the most horrifying thing I ever read," Ms. Cherilee rolled her eyes; she was a bit worried for the orange Pegasus filly. "So...you didn't like it?" asked Scootaloo.
"Well not me particularly but who else read it?" asked Cherilee.
"Um...you and Rainbow Dash, she seemed worried about me for some reason," Scootaloo smiled.
"You mean the pony that dies at the end didn't like it is that a shock?" asked Ms. Cherilee.
"Well I wasn't expecting her to like it after all it was a bit babyish anyway," Scootaloo announced.
"You mean to tell me that isn't the final form of your story?" asked Ms. Cherilee who was scared.
"Nope" Scootaloo smiled.
"Well...we'll see you in class after the weekend." Cherilee said.
"See you Ms. Cherilee," Scootaloo waved.
Scootaloo sat under the same tree she sat under in the previous afternoon. She was pushed awake by Rarity; Scootaloo fell asleep while working on her story. She was covered in pieces of ether crumpled up or blank pieces of paper.
"Oh dear, what are you doing?" asked Rarity using her magic to move the paper.
Scootaloo squinted from the sudden light beaming down on her. "Huh, oh I was working on a story" Scootaloo scratched her slightly unkempt mane. "Oh, how cute may I see this story?" asked Rarity grinning expecting something cute or something. "Here you go" Scootaloo smiled.
Again as Rarity lowered the pieces of paper, and a long silence swept the air. "So what did you think?" asked Scootaloo.
"It was...unexpected" Rarity smiled.
Scootaloo rolled her eyes. She walked away and finished her story.
Scootaloo finally finished her story and submitted it and is waiting for results. She does hope for the best.
Celesta sighed, as she read what seemed like all the fillies and colt's stories. "Okay, your highness, this is one later entry it is by a filly named Scootaloo," one of Celesta's guards rolled his eyes. Celesta used her magic to bring the scroll close to her. "Alright let's see" Celesta said tiredly she was reading stories since sunrise. Celesta let out a sigh as she read the title one more time, she then looked up above the title "Uh," Celesta raised an eyebrow.
"What is it sister?" asked Luna.
"Well Lulu this story has a warning it says, Warning this story is not suitable for all readers," Celesta smiled knowing this will be a strange story.
Luna looked at her sister who was whiter than normal. "Um Tia is everything okay?" asked Luna looking scared for her sister. Celesta then lowered the seven pages and gagged in disgust. "This couldn't have been made by a filly named Scootaloo" Celesta groaned.
"Scootaloo, I know she lives in Ponyville" Luna chuckled.
"Great, announce the winner as Scootaloo, and tell my student that I am coming to Ponyville, oh, and one more thing wait until I say yes to publish this," Celesta grinned.
"Yes princess I'm on it," the stallion ran off.
Celesta got ready to leave for Ponyville. "Are you ready Tia?" asked her sister.
"Yes Lulu," answered Celesta getting in the chariot.
Celesta sighed as they grew near Ponyville. "What was wrong with her story?" asked Luna.
"Oh, Lulu it was...the story itself but I did like it, it was just over the top," Celesta told Luna.
The chariot was still a bit far away so Luna and Celesta had time to chat. "I liked some of the rejected ones like Pipsqueak's story or Sweetie Belle's they were great" Luna changed the topic, away from the winning story.
"Oh, I know Lulu but they were lacking in things to startle you this was the opposite," Celesta groaned.
The chariot was nearing the ground; the princess saw Twilight and her friends. "Hello Twilight," Celesta greeted.
"Hello your highness is something wrong?" asked Twilight becoming more worried by the minute.
"No Twilight I am here for the filly Scootaloo" the princess said.
Scootaloo walked up to the princess. "Yes your highness?" asked Scootaloo.
Celesta gazed into his purple eyes. "I finished reading your horror story, and I found it to be the most unique and most disturbing stories I have read, but it still wins half of the prize," Celesta laughed.
"Huh, half why half?" asked Scootaloo.
"Well it's that this is a little too scary to be put into a book," Celesta smirked.
Pinkie Pie jumped from out of nowhere. "You know what this calls for...a party," Pinkie Pie gave an ear to ear grin.
Pinkie Pie jumped in front of Celesta. "Hi, would you like a cupcake?" offered Pinkie Pie.
"No...Thank you," Celesta said swallowing her vomit.
"Are you sure it's my very special recipe," smiled Pinkie Pie.
"No...Thank you" Celesta repeated.
"But I made them just a few minutes ago in fact Rainbow Dash helped," Pinkie said.
Celesta rushed to the bathroom and started puking.
THE END.
Scootaloo was walking to her home when she was bumped into a mare. "Ow...sorry I didn't see you there," Scootaloo groaned.
"Oh, that is alright," the mare ran off dropping a piece of paper.
Scootaloo picked up the flyer. "Hello young filly or colt, you decided to try to write a story, the rules are have fun writing your story, all entries will be read by the princess herself, the prize is your choice you may choose to stay in the castle for a week, or you may choose to spend the a month with the princess, and you with your choice we also publish your story and add it into a book, we hope the best of luck to any-pony reading this and remember have fun, yours truly Princess Celesta" Scootaloo checked her saddle bag. She was working on drawing some pictures of Rainbow Dash (some might be questionable,) she though did find a bunch of room for writing. "Yes I can finally have a reason to write my horror story," Scootaloo knew what she was going to call it. Scootaloo smirked, as she put the title on the top of the page. Scootaloo knew who would be in the story as well. Scootaloo jumped in glee. She walked to where the flyer said you can enter, Scootaloo then entered. She then started to make her story.
Scootaloo was under a tree when she put in her last period in the draft. "Okay so now what?" Scootaloo pulled out the piece of paper to see what to do when she finished. She was reading down the flyer when a cyan Pegasus flew by, she swooped down to greet Scootaloo. "Hi...Rainbow Dash" Scootaloo grinned.
"Hi...kid what's up?" asked the multi-colored Pegasus.
"Oh...I was just finishing my draft for a story I was writing" Scootaloo grinned.
"Oh, that's great can I read it?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah of course," Scootaloo handed her the piece of paper.
Scootaloo smiled as she waited for Rainbow Dash's opinion. Half way through Rainbow Dash looked like she was going to puke a few times. She lowered the piece of paper. Rainbow Dash gulped "So...that was...good..." Rainbow Dash held back the need to puke. "So was that it?" asked Rainbow Dash looking above the title reading. Warning this story is not fit for all readers. "So what are you doing with this story?" asked Rainbow Dash scared to hear the answer.
"Well I entered a contest and I was given an opportunity to publish my story and have an option of staying at the castle for a week or spend a month with the princess," Scootaloo grinned widely.
"Well a book isn't just a page or two long Scoots," Rainbow Dash smiled, knew that Scootaloo was going to submit the story over time. "Oh, you’re right thanks" Scootaloo ran off.
