Have you ever heard a PROPER backstory on Scootaloo's orogins? Maybe not. I've only heard one, and thatwas really tacky. So here I'm trying to writea PROPER one. From before birth to after getting her cutie mark. Okay, that hasn't

Scootaloo's history has never been clear. Next season they might let us see her lifestyle, but for now I want to try and make a succcesful story of her history from before birth to after getting her cutie mark (Ooops, that hasn't happened yet!). I hope you like it!

Before Birth

Harsh Memories

"Oh... my... dear... Celestia!!! I'M PREGNANT!!!!" Flitter Wing screamed, running into the hallway of her coltfriend's rented appartment. Her wings fluttered and flusterred in happines. A grin grew on her face, stretching her cheeks. All she needed was to be married to her coltfriend, and a family could grow! It would be perfect...

But her fantasies were smashed to pieces by her coltfriend's reaction. The orange mare's blood ran cold when he stomped in from the bedroom. His purple mane was ruffled in anger. The grey earth pony's muscles were huge, and his head was low but his hazel eyes were glaring at Flitter Wing. "How DARE you?! You stupid pegusi!!!" He hissed as he punched his fillyfriend in the stomach. "You... you... how dare you try to burden me like that? I am not a father! You blithering idiot! I will NEVER love you for this!" He shouted.

Flitter Wing winced in pain as he punched her in the side again, harder, and she squealed- "You'll kill the baby, Stomper! I'm around a 8 months in! I am really close to birth!!" Flitter flushed as she used Stomper's name. It really was Sweetcup, but he thought it was lame and he had changed it as soon as he left Apaloosa to Ponyville around 3 years ago. His parents had been sad, but he wanted to leave their stupid house as soon as he could, so he ran away one night. His parents hadn't found him to that day.

"If it dies, then YOU can go say, 'My baby was weak!' because you know what? Find your own home, you little Flitter flatter fairy!!" Stomper growled, stamping his muscly hoof into the ground. Flitter wing flinched, and looked up at her ex-coltfriend. "Yeah! Scram! I hate you! I'm not your coltfriend any more!! Get a life! You parasite! Get outta here! Or I'll punch that weak and stupid foal straight outta your stomach!" He punched her again in hatred as he spoke.

"Please... it's all my fault... please, Sweetcup..." Flitter Wing begged. "Please... Sweetcup... I didn't mean to... You just pushed me into it... It's all my fault... All. My. Fault... Please, Sweetcup..." Flitter Wing looked up as Stomper looked on her like dirt. He hated that name. He bit her, on the flank.

Flitter Wing squealed in the immense pain. Stomper grinned and spoke."You know what? I'd like to do it one last time..." And he punched, nipped, and bit her all over now. He then turned around, and kicked her belly extra hard. Flitter Wing collapsed on the floor in pain.

A LONG SLEEP LATER....

Flitter Wing woke up to find herself in a dark, damp, clearing. She looked around. There were around ten trees around her, each as scary as the next. Her mind whirled of where she was. Then she heard a voice. "Many a pony lives outside the Everfree, but who would care to venture through it's trees..." A Zebra mare trotted into the clearing, and bottle in her jaws, while she spoke. She smiled at the teenage pegusi, her eyes searching with pity for her wounds.

Truthfully, Flitter Wing hurt all over. Her tummy most. She suddenly realised that the Zebra was going to feed her some medicine, or at least try to help, so the pegusi tried to get up. But the Zebra stopped her. "You have many a wound, though the blood may not show. I am named Zecora, and you must rest, you know." The Zebra whispered. Her little ryme made Flitter Wing feel better. She opened her mouth to speak, but Zecora poured the bottle's contents in it.

Suddenly Flitter Wing felt woosy, and decided to have a sleppy nap. She wasn't in Everfree, she was in the clouds at Cloudsdale. There was a croud of people around her, all looking eagerly at something between her legs. She looked down. There was an orange filly with tiny wings, and a purple mane. It didn't have a cutie mark. Flitter Wing looked at her own, and spied the beautiful symbol of a love heart on the wracks of a song lyrics. Her multi-coloured mane flew in the spiky-cold wind. It was winter.

She moved out from above the pegusi, but it didn't notice. Flitter Wing looked around the cround. She only saw one pony that reminded her of something. It was a light-blue pegusi mare with a rainbow mane. She trotted towards the m. It's eyes were full of pity, and it's expression was empty.

Suddenly Flitter Wing realised who this was. It was Rainbow Dash, her best friend from school. They had both liked each other because of the fact that they both had multi-coloured manes. While her friend had a rainbow-coloured mane, Flitter Wing's mane was light green, pink, yellow, and turquise.

Flitter Wing looked at the other ponies in the crowd. They were all now chanting, "Scootaloo, Scootaloo, So stupid she doesn't know what to do!!" The crowd taunted, forcing the tiny filly in the center to walk backwards, frightened. She tried to flap her weedy wings, but they just wouldn't work. She couldn't fy. Rainbow Dash looked at Flitter Wing. "Come on, old friend!! Let's help!!" She exclaimed, and the two mares set off. They swooped low, and picked up the tiny filly in a canopy made by thier wings.

Scootaloo struggled, but one encouraging look from Rainbow Dash, and she was settled in. Flitter Wing smiled, and whispered in her rainbow-maned companion's ear so that thier passenger couldn't hear, "Where are we taking her?" Flitter then looked at Scootaloo. The tiny filly hadn't heard. Phew.

"Fluttershy's cottage. She's the only other pegusi I know who can't fly." RD whispered back, in the same emount of secrecy as Flitter Wing. They soon did a fly-by of RD's home, making Scootaloo gasp at it's grandour. Flitter Wing smiled. Whenever she came over to RD's when she was a filly it would be the same thing for her. And also the fact that her parents looked nothing like Rainbow Dash and that she was really rich had made her do that, too.

Slowly, they landed outside Fluttershy's cottage. Still in her wing-canopy, Scootaloo gasped when they opened the door. There was Fluttershy. Her yellow wings scooped Scootaloo out of the small canopy, and she smiled. "Who is this little one?" The other two pegusi looked at each other, and told the story. Flitter Wing wasn't suprised Scootaloo couldn't fly if she lived in an orphanage, but was sad for her at the same time.

"Well, it actually looks like the mother was abused during pregnancy, making her growth a lot slower. But she'll be able to fly at some stage, of course. her little wings aren't strong enough yet. They need a growth spurt, but the rest of the bod has already had that spurt, making it too heavy to be held by foal-sized wings as it is a filly-sized body. She just needs some good care, and she will be able to fly in no time. her wings are just trying to catch up." The yellow pegusi told them.

"Would you be willing?" RD asked. Futtershy gasped at the great offer.

"Of course!" She said.

Suddenly Flitter Wing was pulled out of the dream, waking up in the Everfree Forest once again.

"You are strong enough now, to go into care of the the hospital, young mare. So, I must say, see you there." Zecora whispered, as the pair of mares from diffrent races suddenly got ambushed by a group of strange ponies.

The ponies had white coats, and there was a mixture between mares and gentle-colts. There was a wide range of cutie marks, but each one was something to do with a red cross. Except for one. There, in front of her, was a light blue pegusi with a rainbow mane. Her cutie mark was a cloud with a rainbow-coloured lightning bolt coming out of it. In front of her was Rainbow Dash.

Long compared to my last one, yeah. I know.

Dark News

Harsh Memories

"Flitter!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, hugging her best buddy. It was seconds after the other ponies had apeared, and RD had leaped forward as soon as the hospital ponies had finished giing her a quick checkup.

"Dashie!!" Flitter Wing grinned, hugging her back. "Why are you here?!" The young pegusi mare added as she looked at Zecora, who was speaking to Nurse Redheart.

"Zecora told us where you were. She knew you were pregnant, she checked while you slept, and got the hospital ponies to come and check you up. You are ABUSED! Who did this to you?! How are you even PREGNANT!? Why are you even HERE?!?! This is the EVERFREE FOREST, Flitter!?!" Rainbow Dash asked, turning many heads, including Nurse Redheart's.

"I-I found an earth pony named Sweetcup who had run away from Apaloosa and re-named himself Stomper. He's grey, and he has a purple mane. His cutie mark is a flower, but he always paints over it to make it a rock. I was living in his apartment when I f-found that I was around 8 months in. He was really angry. He punched and bit me, then... then he kicked my stomach really hard, I passed out, and I awoke here." Flitter Wing wimpered, scared.

RD sighed. "Poor you! I can't believe someone could be so cruel! I'll get the equestrian police rounding up that horrible fella in no time!! I'm sure Fluttershy would help look after you!" The energetic pegusi mare leaped in the air, fluttering over to Nurse Redheart, and telling her the news.

The mare nodded, and helped Flitter get up. "Do you think you can fly?" She asked politely. Flitter Wing nodded. She flapped her wings. Suddenly a great pain fell onto her, the wieght falling of her shoulders and onto her hooves, and she collapsed in a great heap. Rainbow leaped to her side at once, helping her up.

"If you can't fly to Fluttershy's cottage, I'll walk there with you!" She pulled Flitter Wing's hoof over her shoulder, and took her best buddy's wieght.

"Rainbow Dash. I understand you completely. But she must have a checkup before she gets to go to Fluttershy's home in case she has broken any bones in her wings." Nurse Redheart explained. She carefully took Flitter's hoof off of Rainbow Dash's shoulder. Rainbow Dash leaped into the air, her eyes darting around, trying to look for something se could kick in fustration that wasn't a pony.

"You can go and and see your friends. We already have Rarity and Applejack's parents in hospital- they are around the same emount pregnant as your friend. I think they'll be delighted at the news of another foal being born." Nurse Redheart told her dismissing her. Rainbow Dash hesitated a second, as if she wanted to say more, but then zoomed out of the trees towards Ponyville.

"Now that she's gone, I shall break the news to you." Nurse Redheart sat next to Flitter, rubbing her back and leaning towards her as if she was about to be cried on.

"W-what news?" Flitter asked worriedly. She looked at Nurse Redheart. She stared into the nurse-ponies eyes. There she only saw worry, pain, ans sorrow. The news was obviously bad. Nurse Redheart, too a deep breath, and stsared back. What she saw was pain, like food poisoning in cake. But also some sugar. Sugar. Sugar was hope. The hope that burned in Flitter's sole, never dyig, which would be passed on the her child.

"Your foal will only be able to fly when she reaches adulthood."
