Chapter 14 - Happy Birthday Scootaloo ! (part 1)

It had been a week since the newspaper scandal and since then things had been running smoothly for the family of three, Although the week hadn't come without its problems.

The first hurdle was telling everypony about the newspaper article, since its release ponies had been questioning what was happening between the three. Luckily for Scootaloo her mother and sister took care of most of the work meaning she didn't have to worry so much as she had been over the last few days, soon enough everypony learned the truth and not too long after things had settled down about the families relationship.

Another hurdle for Spitfire especially had been telling Scootaloo about her and Dash, whilst it did take a long time to explain as well as talking about a lot of embarrassing moments it all worked out with Scootaloo smiling and saying she didn't care about the relationship and was just happy to be her daughter.

The last jump was by far the biggest and involved Diamond Tiara and her father that she had blabbed to about the incident with Rainbow, the brown stallion was at first angry and stood off with Spitfire and Rainbow Dash in Ponyville central park for a good few heated moments before finally settling with the true story about why the cyan mare had been so angry, though Diamond had also gone to mrs Cheerilee about the incident with Rainbow after hearing both sides of the story mrs Cheerilee made a deal with both ponies that Rainbow wouldn't come near Diamond again and that the towns bully was to stay away from Scootaloo in return. So far things had worked out great for both parties.

And so now a week on it was the special day that the family had been preparing for, Scootaloo's birthday.

The little orange pegasus had been excited all week about her first real birthday and almost couldn't get to sleep the night before, but now the special day for the filly had finally arrived.

Scootaloo's eyes slowly opened as she found herself in a world of white covers and the softness of the cloud bed beneath her, it was then her eyes came to rest on the door just in front of the bed. Scootaloo focused her eyes to see a familiar cutie mark engraved into the door.

Scootaloo's eyes widened as she realized her location 'why am I in Rainbow's bed?' she asked herself. Just then the filly heard a growl from behind the white sheets of covers which surrounded the bed, her purple eyes constricted as the growl became louder and two amber eyes made themselves known to the startled filly.

Suddenly the growl stopped and was quickly replaced by a fit of giggles as the face of Spitfire revealed itself from the bed covers, Scootaloo sighed in relief at the sight of her mother and the once open mouth of shock turned back to a smile.

Spitfire smiled back before saying, "Happy Birthday Scootaloo" as she leaned down and kissed the filly's cheek affectionately before giving her a light nuzzle. Just then a groan came from another set of wrapped sheets on the bed, both pegasi looked over to see a Rainbow maned mare reveal herself from her deep slumber, her magenta eyes slowly revealed themselves as she awoke to be met with the two ponies who meant the world to her.

Spitfire smirked and leaned down to kiss her love on the muzzle, "Good Morning Dashie" she said in a soft whisper as she let the cyan mare make herself more awake. Dash smiled and nuzzled her in return before looking over at Scootaloo at the bottom of the bed.

Rainbow smiled, "Hey happy birthday Scoots" she said still a little groggy from her sleep.

Scootaloo smiled, "thanks Rainbow, thanks Mum" she said leaping over into the mares embrace. Spitfire smiled as she ruffled the fillies mane as the three sat in peaceful silence for the next few moments.

After a while Rainbow spoke up, "so Scoots you wanna open your presents?" she asked with a smirk, Scootaloo gasped and nodded rapidly.

Spitfire leaned down to the underside of the bed and soon re emerged with a neatly wrapped box with a golden bow on top, she handed it over towards the young filly, Scootaloo smiled and took the package from her mother and tore the wrapping paper off to reveal a brand new helmet for her Scooter.

Scootaloo gasped as she inspected the box and was excited beyond words, she quickly rushed forward and wrapped her legs around Spitfire tightly, the yellow mare smiled and said

"I'm glad you like it sweetie" she said ruffling the fillies mane.

Dash rolled her eyes and put on her famous grin as she said, "Just wait until you see what your awesome sister got ya" as she too leaned down under the cloud bed and soon came back up with an even bigger box, Scootaloo's eyes widened at the gift and her smile became bigger as she continued to look at the present in awe.

Dash smirked, "well what are ya waiting for squirt, open it!" she said excitedly.

Scootaloo nodded and rushed forward to rip off the paper that had been wrapped around the present masking its contents, soon Scootaloo had ripped off the remaining strands of paper and threw the remains of the wrapping paper off to one side as she looked back to see her present, Her jaw dropped at what she saw.

Scootaloo looked at the gleaming box which housed an item which was shown by an image on the box, it was a brand new scooter and was a later and better model of the one she currently owned.

The small filly squealed in excitement before Dashing over to hug her older sister with a great amount of force as Spitfire watched on with a smile.

Soon Dash eased the embrace and the filly went back to staring at the scooter in awe, Spitfire leaned over and nuzzled the filly's ear grabbing her attention.

Scootaloo looked over to Spitfire as she spoke, "So sweetie, we've got a party today with Pinkie Pie and the others, but first would you like it if I made my favourite filly some waffles?" she asked curiously.

Scootaloo smiled and nodded to which Spitfire smiled in return before picking the filly up in her wings and taking her downstairs to the kitchen as a cyan mare followed close behind.
