Chapter 7 - Trouble + Diamonds = Disaster

Scootaloo carefully got off her mothers back as the pair landed at the school grounds , it was still early and the first few parents were making there way to the schoolhouse.

Spitfire leaned down and hugged the filly, "Have a great day Sweetheart, I'll see you tomorrow" the pegasus said to her adoptive daughter.

Scootaloo smiled and nodded in the embrace, "I will mummy, I love you" she said releasing the embrace.

Spitfire smiled and nuzzled the filly's mane, "mummy loves you too, now go have fun!" she said happily.

Scootaloo nodded and trotted off into the schoolhouse, Spitfire grinned and took off towards cloudsdale as the sun started to slowly rise into the sky.

Scootaloo made her way through the schoolhouse as she looked around at the many drawings that filled the hallway, many of which she and her friends had drawn together, she smiled at the memories before she came to her class door.

Scootaloo opened the door to her classroom she trotted inside to see her two friends sitting in deep conversation as the orange pegasus trotted up to them.

"Hey girls!" the orange filly said as she sat up on her desk next to the other two fillies in the class, Sweetie Belle exchanged curious looks between her and Applebloom, Scootaloo was confused by this and spoke up

"Whats up guys?" Scootaloo asked raising her eyebrow. Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to reply, but suddenly the door to the classroom revealing a pink filly accompanied by a grey mare with a similar look of wealth in her features.

The pink filly smiled, "Well well well, if it isn't the two blank flanks and the filly foolers daughter" she sneered as she walked into the class with the grey filly following closely by her side.

Scootaloo looked between her friends who seemed to have curious expressions on their faces, she was now even more confused than she was before.

Turning back to the pink filly, Scootaloo scowled, "What are you talking about Diamond?" she asked in a slightly annoyed tone.

Diamond Tiara smirked, as the grey filly behind her snickered slightly, "well lets just say a certain blank flank's sister wouldn't keep her mouth shut" she said rolling her eyes.

"Hey!" Sweetie Belle protested, she looked back at Scootaloo as she tried to explain.

"Look Scoots I don't know what happened but my sister just came home and started rambling on about Rainbow Dash liking Spitfire or something" the white unicorn stated as she tried to get anything out of her stunned friend.

Scootaloo just sat there with a blank expression on her face as her brian clicked, it all seemed clear now, why her surrogate sister had been acting so off lately, It all made sense now, but for Scootaloo the idea did seem a little off but she didn't seem disgusted by the act.

Then Scootaloo started to ponder further, she smiled to herself as she thought about the prospect of Dash also becoming her mother, just then she was brought back to reality by the sound of a slightly panicked unicorn

"Scootaloo, are you okay?" Sweetie Belle asked curiously. Scootaloo blinked a few times before responding.

"Yeah I'm fine, but what's so bad about that?" the orange pegasus questioned.

Diamond Tiara tried to contain her laughter but failed to as she and her grey friend fell to the floor in a fit of giggles. Scootaloo saw this and sighed still confused about why they were finding the fact so funny, even if the subject of 'romance' wanted to make the little orange filly choke on her own cereal she still couldn't seem to work out how it could seem funny to others.

Just then a maroon mare came into the classroom with her usual happy smile which adorned her face as she trotted over to her desk, she was soon followed by the rest of the foals from Scootaloo's class.

Diamond Tiara and her accomplice moved to the back of the room as the rest of the class filled the empty desk with Sweetie Belle leaving her desk to make way for Rumble who sat up giving a smile in Scootaloo's direction.

Scootaloo smiled nervously before the maroon mare made her way to the front of the class and spoke up.

"Okay Class, today we shall be learning about all the types of ponies and their different abilities" The maroon mare spoke before turning to the chalkboard and writing on its black surface, Scootaloo let her head rest on her hoof as she watched the seconds tick by on the clock.

This was going to be a long day.

                                                                 -A Few Hours Later-

Finally the bell for the end of the school day sounded, and Scootaloo felt a wash of relief pour over her, She hadn't seen much of Diamond Tiara and her friend since the start of the school day, however the orange filly knew they were up to something, but she didn't care she had too much on her mind right now for lame old pranks.

Scootaloo smiled as she made her way out into the hallway of the schoolhouse to see her equally excited friends already ready and waiting for her with big smiles adorning their faces.

Scootaloo smiled as she galloped to meet up with her fellow crusaders, "Hey guys" she said excitedly as she came up to the pair.

"Hey Scootaloo, y'all ready for sum crusadin tonight ?" Applebloom asked with an energetic tone.

Scootaloo nodded rapidly, "yeah tonight is gonna be awesome!" the orange filly said as she flapped her wings in excitement.

As the three fillies knocked their hooves together and shouted their club name a Pink filly was giggling to herself silently behind a corner in the hallway.

Turning around she opened the hatch to the lower level of the schoolhouse, as she trotted down the stairs her friend was already there waiting for her.

"Hey Diamond, I've got the papers" The grey filly said happily as she passed the folder to her friend.

Diamond smiled, "Thank you SilverSpoon, now all we need to do is put this in the machine" the bully said evilly as she looked around the basement of the schoolhouse until she spied a blue ink press in the corner of the room.

The pink filly trotted over to the large piece of machinery and threw the contents into the print before turning the large piece of metal.

SilverSpoon looked over at the pink filly, "So why are we doing this again ?" she asked curiously.

Diamond looked over to her friend and smirked ,"because they ruined me, and to pay them back I'm going to ruin them" the filly said as she giggled evilly as a stack of papers piled up with a startling front page title which was signed by none other than 'Gabby Gums'
