The Letter

Chapter one
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Princess Celestia,
I used to think friendship can last forever, until the end of time, but unlike most thoughts this one was proven wrong, I watched as my friends blew to pieces as they pushed me out of the blast zone, I watched as my friends risked their own lives to save at least one of us, though I wish they didn't. Every night I used to fall asleep with dreams of friendship and happiness, realizing what friendship really was, with all the corks I've had in my life, I've had abuse, loneliness which starts again, I've had other things that are too horrible for me to explain. Every-pony said we should wait for our cutie marks now, well, now I understand why, and I wish we listened to them, You see princess friendship...friendship is like a dream it could go well and happy or it can go horrid and rotten, I learned that the hard way. Every-pony lives as if there is one purpose to judge, but every-pony shouldn't consider what's on your flank, weather you have your cutie mark or you’re a blank flank, it shouldn't matter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being a blank flank myself I understand how hard it is waiting for my cutie mark sometimes, sometimes I even trying to paint one on instead when I feel sad. Even though it's not real I feel as if my destiny was to live and be a blank flank, even though it's important to me, I would have given up my cutie mark if I could just have my friends back, at least for a day, my life now looks bleak and dull. I don't see any destiny for myself not even a gardener, I...I was an orphan I never knew true friends like Apple bloom and Sweetie Belle came along, they showed me the path away from crime and theft, I was about ready to rob a pony that was until Sweetie Belle came along saying these words, "What are you doing?" I answered truthfully I then got a look from Sweetie Belle as she asked why I lied that time saying these words, "Well I'm lonely my parents travel a lot for work," I lied to the filly's face, I kept with that lie until today where my friends lay in their coffins. As my life drowns on I wonder what is my purpose, what is my reason of being alive, when Sweetie Belle started to talk me out of robbing I realized thought my destiny was to be friends with her, but seeing as she isn't...she isn't with us anymore means my destiny is still shrouded in mystery, If any-pony helped me realize you shouldn't lie to your friends it was Apple bloom, when I was sad Sweetie Belle was always there to cheer me up, as was Apple bloom she always knew what cheers me up. Apple bloom as a friend was a happy day for me I never had friends that cared for me as much as they do...or did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As much as I hope Sweetie Belle and Apple bloom are resting in peace, the more I think about it the more I realize that Sweetie Belle and Apple bloom never showed a sad face at me. Maybe because they thought I might make fun of them, the old me would but the new me, well the new won't judge any-pony by their look, or most importantly their cutie mark. Lives...they are more important than your cutie mark

"Are we done yet, my claw is aching,” whined Spike.
Scootaloo sighed. "I told you this was going to be a long one, so C'mon get over it, I lost my two best friends" Scootaloo hissed.
Spike sighed raising his aching claw to the paper. "Alright, what’s next?" Spike asked taking a deep breath.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You see princess on top of my life I had no-pony to take care of me Rainbow Dash she only helped me with flight lessons, nothing more. To be honest only you Spike, me, and most likely Luna know that I'm an orphan. I never told any-pony being an orphan, I...I was scared what my friends would think, even though I knew my friends well I wasn't ready to tell them I am an orphan. I always wished some-pony would care for me, that was though my life before I got some good friends, but I do wish I could give up my cutie mark if I had one to revive my friends. Life just like an apple...it can't live forever, as much as I wish it could, every-pony dies it is the natural order, the natural order that I could live without, I would gladly give up my wings and cutie mark if I had one. Even you will die someday princess, even eternal souls has its limits. As every-pony knows I live on to tell the story of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. You see like I said before I had no-pony to care for me and that hasn't changed, I am still keeping it a secret, from most ponies I know especially Rainbow Dash. As my life drones on, I wonder my reason to live, I wonder why the cutie mark crusaders chose me to live, I never wondered what friends were when I was younger, I just pushed aside friends at the orphanage, my life was a hell, at the orphanage I was taken advantage of, the owner of the orphanage, she was mean, she abused me, she beat me, and worst of all she made me sleep on the ground as she beat me, I finally ran away only to be met with the most kind unicorn I ever met. That unicorn was Sweetie Belle, she offered me shelter for the night, I was not in a position to decline. When I had a frown on my face my friends are always there to cheer me up. You see princess friendship might not last forever but the best thing to do is, well live your life with your friends whether you have a long life or a short one, having friends helps you get through your rough life. So if you have friends princess show them that you care, show them that you love them, show them how much they matter to you. Sincerely your faithful subject Scootaloo.
