Scootaloo's Truth

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"C'mon Scoots! Let's git ta findin our Cutie Marks!" AppleBloom called from somewhere ahead in the Orchard.

"Or we could do Painting or something safe?!" Sweetie Belle cried from next to Scootaloo.

"I'm just not feeling okay for Crusading today girls." Scootaloo moped.

"Why? Is it because Dash has gone ta Canterlot withoutcha? She will be back Scoots! Ah know it!" AppleBloom squeaked.

"I know Bloom. I just miss my sister." Scootaloo glumly replied.

"Well, at least your sisters pay attention to you! Rarity doesn't spend time with me!" Sweetie Belle squeaked in protest.

"Well that's because she works hard and she don't take time offa work y'know. AppleJack takes time offa work and she works hard." AppleBloom cried.

"Well good for you! At least your sister is around you to help out with homework and help you out! Rarity just worries about her work and not me!" Sweetie Belle's voice rising in pitch.

"Calm down Squeaky Belle! Jeez! AppleJack don't help me out that much and she and BigMac are always to busy ta play or nuthin!" Apple Bloom retorted.

"Look what you've done! You made Scoots cry!!" Sweetie Belle ran towards her pegasus friend and gave her a comforting hug.

"I'm fine! I just hope Dash aint in no trouble! If Celestia has summoned her to Canterlot, what if she's being stripped of her Element?!" Scootaloo panicked.

"Scootaloo. Stop worrying. She's probably just being talked to about how awesome she is!" Sweetie Belle shook her friend's shoulders.

"Or being introduced ta SpitFire and Soarin! Ah mean, c'mon Scoots. Why would Dash lose her Element?!" AppleBloom laughed.

"I guess you two are right. Hey, how about we jump across the river and do some awesome stuff in Everfree Forest?!" Scootaloo jumped up with her idea.

"YEAH!" AppleBloom cried, not really bothered about Timber Wolves or Manticores or Cockatrice's.

"Or we could paint?!" Sweetie Belle smiled, knowing her idea was worthless in their eyes.

"Uhm, maybe next time Sweetie! Ah mean, c'mon! Let's go inta Everfree!" AppleBloom shouted, excitement bouncing between Scoot and Bloom.

"Actually, I was talking to Dash the other day and I had an idea." Scootaloo piped up.

"Which is...?" The other two fillies asked, patience wearing thin.

"We should try doing things we enjoy. Like, AppleBloom loves making stuff, I love scooting and you love music Sweetie." Scootaloo laughed.

"That's a great idea! We should do stuff WE personally enjoy!" Sweetie exclaimed.

"Alright, let's give it a shot!" Bloom gave in.

"Alright! CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ENJOYMENT CUTIE MARKS!" The three fillies yelled in unison.

~2 Hours Later~

Scootaloo crashed through the door of the clubhouse on her Scooter after hearing Sweetie scream and drop a something that shattered.

"SWEETIE! YA OKAY IN THERE?!" Bloom's voice echoed through the doorway.

"I did it! I got my Cutie Mark!" Sweetie burst into tears of joy, jumping around as madly as Pinkie Pie.

"Lemme see it then ya doofus!" Bloom exclaimed, holding down the unicorn. The Cutie Mark was a horn with 3 musical notes being expelled from it.

"So, uh... Wassit for?!" Asked a disorientated Scootaloo, sporting a bruise bigger than her ego.

"Um, I was mixing magic with piano and my singing so I guess I'm a magical pianist!" Sweetie grinned.

"Go and show Rarity then, we all know you want to." Scootaloo and Bloom laughed.

"Thanks guys! When you two get your Cutie Marks we have to have a big party!" Sweetie called over her shoulder as she ran towards Ponyville and Carousel Boutique.

"RARITY! GUESS WHAT?!" She called through the door she had previously crashed through.

"Not now Sweetie, I'm busy working! Go Crusading or whatever you do with Scootaloo and AppleBloom!" Rarity pompously called from the machine room.

"But that's the point Rarity, I got my Cutie Mark!" Sweetie cried from the entrance.

"Indeed, be a dear and fetch me that Golden Shimmer Dust please?" Rarity's hoof pointed towards it.

"RARITY!" Sweetie Belle squeaked, anger venting from her horn.

"Darling, these Dresses need to be done..."

"I DON'T CARE! I WISH YOU WOULD JUST PAY ATTENTION TO ME FOR ONCE!" Sweetie broke down, tears flooding her eyes as she saw the familiar coat and mane of her sister appear in front of her.

"Sweetie, I... I... I'm sorry. I work too hard. What were you saying dear?" Rarity held her sister in her hooves and rocked her like she used to when Sweetie was just a baby.

"I... I got... my Cutie... Mark." Sweetie explained between sobs.

"CUTIE MARK! LET ME SEE IT!" Rarity all but threw Sweetie over in her surprise, and when she saw the Mark she brought a hoof to her eyes.

"My baby sister, all grown up. A real mare." She sobbed.

~Meanwhile back at the CMC Clubhouse.~

"ALL RIGHT! GO BLOOM! YOU ROCK THAT CUTIE MARK!" Scootaloo all but killed her friend when she saw the Mark on her friend's flank. She was intrigued as to how Bloom got an Apple sawed in half with a hammer as a stem.

"Ah was jus' doin some repairs ta the clubhouse when ah had a stroke of genius. Why not use the saw and make us a lookout tower! But then ah realised we already ha one so ah jus' repaired it then this lil' baby popped up on ma flank!" Bloom had collapsed on floor due to exhaustion.

"I'm curious as to what mine will be!" Scootaloo smiled, sure that luck was headed her way when only one thing was...

"LOOK OUT BELOW!" Came a bellowing voice from above.

"RAINBOW DASH?!" Scootaloo cried, running towards the crashed pony.

"Nah, it's me. Soarin. Rainbow Dash is back in Canterlot. She wants you to join her there. So go pack sis! We gotta lotta flying to do!" Soarin stammered, energy failing him.

"Uh, okay...'bro'. A) I can't fly and B) I'm not your sister." Scootaloo glared daggers at him.

"A) WOW! B) You're right! You're only my half-sister." Soarin grinned, laughing at Scootaloo's reaction. She had flailed her hooves and fallen over onto an orange Scooter.

"Let me help." Soarin held out a hoof.

"Thanks, I guess. And I don't need nothing that ain't in my saddlebags already. Or my Scooter." Scootaloo looked over her shoulder at Soarin, suddenly serious.

"Okay. Well, I challenge you to a race to Ponyville Station. I'll be running with wing power and you'll be Scooting. Ok?" Soarin grinned, excitement radiating from his body.

"Okay! APPLEBLOOM! COUNTDOWN!" She cried.

"On ya marks... Git set... GO!" AppleBloom cheered her friend, watching the two colours become specks in the distance within ten seconds.

"I'm going to beat you Soarin!" Scootaloo cried.

"No way Scootloo..." He screamed over the winds, but he gasped as Scootaloo jumped off a ramp concealed in the bushes and gained height and distance.

"C'mon, I thought you were meant to be fast!" She called from ahead.

"I'm coming! Ready or Not!" Soarin pushed all of his energy into his legs and forgot about his wings entirely.

"I Win." Scootaloo puffed from the platform, smiling at Soarin with a proud look in her eyes.

"You... You did! And I helped you get your Cutie Mark!" Soarin laughed, falling down on his jelly legs.

"My Cutie Mark?! Woah! That's so awesome!!" She turned around in circles to try and see it. It was a Rainbow Lightning Bolt with a Scooter in front.

"Nice one!" Soarin smiled, proud of his half-sister. "C'mon, let's get onboard."
