Scootaloo woke up with excitement because the little orange filly was going to practice flying with Rainbow Dash.
“Oh colt, oh colt, oh colt…” Scootaloo kept happily saying for a moment then said. “Today is the day I get to practice flying with Rainbow Dash!”
Scootaloo pack all of her things order a loose floor board in the clubhouse. Scootaloo then grabbed her scooter and road of to Gasley Gorge.
“This day is going to be awesome!”
*******************
Scootaloo kept riding until she saw that it was beginning to rain. She remembered that the weather team was going to make a rain storm to for Sweet Apple Acres. She stopped and realizes that the rain might cancel her training. Then Scootaloo shook her head then thought.
“Nah Rainbow Dash is to cool to be stopped by a little rain.” She said to her self before speeding back to the Gorge.
She went past the library remembering Twilights offer. ‘Ok now, how about I buy them and you can work at the library to earn them deal.’
‘I probably need to make a schedule for school, Crusading, Training, and working….’ Scootaloo thought to her self then realized something. “I’m thinking like an egghead!”
Scootaloo screamed before seeing a grey Pegasus colt holding something with his right wing… that she is about to crash into.
She immediately stopped just inches from the colt before he got hit. The colt noticed, and his eyes widen by the orange Pegasus that was about to hit him. They then noticed that their muzzles were touching. Both Pegasi jump back both with blood red cheeks. It was quiet until the grey colt spoke.
“Sorry I should have watched were I was going.” He said smiling with some red on his face.
“Nah I should have been more concentrated one the road more uumm…” Scootaloo said also some red on her cheeks.
“Rumble, that’s my name.” He said with a smile. “What’s yours?”
“Scootaloo.” She answered. Then she noticed the blue prints that he been holding with his right wing and asked. “What are those?”
Rumble looked at his back then back to Scootaloo and said. “Oh there blue prints for my invention I’m trying to build.”
“What is your invention?” Scootaloo asked.
“It’s kind of hard to explain.” He said. Then he notices the time and said. “I’m late!”
“Sorry Scoots not now but what about tomorrow at 7:00pm?” He asked while running.
“Ok!” Scootaloo shouted a the running colt.
“Alright see you tomorrow!” He said while waving his hoof.
After that Scootaloo went on course to Gasley Gorge for her training with Rainbow Dash today.
*******************
Scootaloo finally got to Gasley Gorge and immediately saw Rainbow Dash. She stopped in front of Dash with a big smile and asked. “So what will we learn today Rainbow.”
“Sorry squirt not today.” Rainbow Dash said to the orange filly. Scootaloo was shock and asked.
“Why?”
“Because it’s raining squirt.” Rainbow answered. “And before you asked, yes I’m too awesome to be stopped by a single storm but…”
Scootaloo tilted her head and said. “But…”
Rainbow put up a serious face and said. “It’s too dangerous for you squirt. I don’t want to risk hurting you.”
Scootaloo looked a little disappointed because she waited to train with Dash all week just to be shot down by a dang storm.
Rainbow noticed the look on Scoots face then spoke with a grin. “Don’t worry squirt next weekend will be blue skies. Perfect for flying.”
This gave Scootaloo a little grin making Rainbow to speak. “That’s the spirit squirt!” She said being optimistic. “Gotta go squirt see you next weekend!” After saying that Rainbow flew off to her rainbow mansion.
Scootaloo waved goodbye then scooted off back to Ponyville. Scootaloo now was trying to think of something else to do in her free time. She couldn’t go crusading, it’s Saturday so no school, and she won’t be seeing Rumble till tomorrow. She sighed realizing that the only thing to do is to work at Twilights’ for those books. After settling her mind, she scooted off to the Ponyville library.
*******************
Scootaloo finally got to Twilight’s home and nock on the door, and soon after the purple Unicorn opened the door. Seeing the orange filly, Twilight put a grin and said.
“Hello Scootaloo. I thought you would be here tomorrow?”
“Tell you the truth I DON’T want to be HERE.” Scoots said while pouting. “But because of this rain I can’t do anything but this, so here I am.”
Twilight smiled again and said. “Don’t be like that Scoots, your working to get those two books.” Twilight said being optimistic. “And who knows, this might actually be a little fun.”
“I really doubt that.” She mumbled to her self.
“What?” Twilight said raising an eyebrow.
“Oh ah nothing lets just get this over with.” Scootaloo said dodging Twilight’s question.
After the conversation Twilight let Scootaloo in and showed her what to do. She told her that she first needs to dust the books, search the books for any book worms, and finally organize the books on the filly section. “-And that’s about it. You can ask Spike if you need any help.”
After hearing the word ‘help’ Scootaloo immediately said. “I don’t need any help; I can do this all by my self.” Twilight looked at her and said.
“My little pony, everypony needs help.”
‘Not Griffins, they don’t need help.’ Scoots thought to her self instead of mumbling; don’t want to give any hints of her past like last time.
Scootaloo first started on dusting the books it was hard at first because she kept sneezing from all of the dust she was breathing in and out, it wasn’t till she realize that Twilight put a face mask on the shelve. She made a face that show ‘REALLY!’ She sighed and put on the face mask and then dusting the books… AGAIN!
After dusting she then went to the worms. Scootaloo was a little enthusiastic for this chore, she pretended that the worms were hydras and she played as her favorite book character “Daring Doo.” She swats worms out of the books like they were nothing while saying. “Ha take this and that you little hydras you can’t stop Daring Doo!” Unknown to Scoots Twilight was watching her as she was swatting worms out of the books whiling enjoying it; this puts a smile on Twilight’s face.
The last chore was now to organize the filly section. This immediately got bored of the chore, she had look at these entire little filly books that she out grew along time ago. This chore took longer then any other of the two chores, and was also more boring then the other chores. After eight minutes she was finally done with this chore.
Scootaloo look and she actually did a good job. She was about to leave until Twilight came.
She looked around and was amazed by Scoots work enough for a compliment. “Wow Scoots you did all of this in one hour Scootaloo!”
“Yeah I guess I did.” Scootaloo said with some pride in her voice.
“Good work Scoots now here you go.” Twilight then hoofed the two books that Scootaloo was interested. Scootaloo was confused and asked.
“I thought I would have to work for these more then one day?”
Twilight put the two books on Scoots scooter and said. “It turns out those books didn’t cost that much.” ‘To me the price was high.’ She thought to her self till Twilight continued. “And with the work you did today is enough to pay for them. So here you go.”
“Oh ah thank you Twilight.” Scootaloo said thanking her.
“No problem Scoots.” Twilight responded. “You better go before your parents get worried.”
Scoots put up a smile but in her mind she wished Twilight didn’t say that word ‘parents’. Scootaloo then hopped on her scooter waving goodbye Twilight before heading off to the clubhouse.
*******************
Scootaloo got back to the clubhouse; she looked around to make sure no pony was around. Seeing no pony she went inside the club house to and prepared her sleeping place on the wooden floor. But before she did she wanted to read one of the books she got. She thought for a moment to choose witch one to get. She picked the book that looked more interesting then the other. The first thing she read was the title of the book.
“The Rise and Fall of the Lunar Republic.”
