//-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash: Sisters Forever -by Prince Ecosis- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight Sends Celestia the Letters //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight Sends Celestia the Letters Rainbow and Scootaloo got to the library and opened the door to see all five of her other friends sitting at the table. "Hiya, Rainbow Dash!", Pinkie said with a huge smile. "Hello, Sugarcube", Applejack also said. "Mares", Rainbow said letting Scootaloo off of her back, "I need to say something". "What is it, Darling?", Rarity said, sounding interested. "It's about Scootaloo", Rainbow replied. "Is it bad?", Twilight asked. "Yes", Rainbow said, "Very bad". "What's wrong?", Fluttershy said. "She told me she was getting abused, by her mother: Light Cloud" All five ponies gasped at the same time. Pinkie's mane and tail deflated to its completely straight form. "Your old friend?", Twilight asked. "Yes", Rainbow Dash said, "I knocked her out and told Scootaloo I was going to adopt her and am pressing charges on Light. That's why I  to see you. I need you to write a letter to Princes Celestia and ask her to come here." "OK", Twilight said, "Pinkie, hoof me that quill and paper." "Here", Pinkie said. Dear Princess Celestia, Rainbow Dash has told us that Scootaloo, the filly Luna met in her dream, is being abused by her mother, Light Cloud. Rainbow has requested you to come to my library. She needs to talk to you. You're faithful student, Twilight Sparkle "Spike", Twilight called. "Yes?", Spike said. "Send this to the Princess" "OK", he said before taking a deep breath and blowing his green fire breath on the letter, sending it. "Oh", Rainbow said, the smell hitting her again, "Scoots had an accident. Twi, can she use your shower?" "Sure", she said, "It's over there". She pointed to the door across the room. "Thanks, Twilight", Scootaloo said as she walked into the bathroom. Spike hiccuped and burped, a letter forming. Twilight grabbed the letter in her telekinesis and read it aloud. Dear Twilight Sparkle, My Faithful Student, This sounds very serious. Yes I am leaving now. Tell Rainbow Dash I am on my way. Your mentor, Princess Celestia "She's on her way", Twilight said to Rainbow. "OK", Rainbow Dash Meanwhile, in the shower... The shower was heavenly to Scootaloo. The warm water hitting her cold, sore body felt so good. This was her first actual shower in weeks. Her mother barely allowed her to use the shower at home. Mostly when she said her rancid stench was making her ill, was she allowed to step hoof inside the shower or she was blasted with the water hose. It depended on her mood and what kind of day she had. Scootaloo's nose wrinkled in disgust as she washed her tail. She could smell her 'past accidents'. She felt like a foal, wetting herself all the time. She would get so scared when her mother yelled or came near her. It just happened, there was no controlling it. She started to cry has she scrubbed. "Why?"  She whispered to herself. "Why can't you love me, mom?"  She dropped her tail and held her face in her hooves.  "Daddy . . . I wish you were still here." The water was starting to turn cold. How long had she been in here? She wasn't sure anymore. Turning off the water she reached for the towel but recoiled from it. Was she allowed to use it? Or did she had to drip dry? Scootaloo cleared her throat. "Twilight?"  Scootaloo's strained voice rang out, barely audio over the discussion in the room. Twilight turned towards the room. "Y-yes?"  Twilight's voice was concerned if not slightly confused. " . . . um . . . can i use a towel?" Twilight heard her but was thrown by the question. Why did she ask if she could use a towel and why did she sound so scared? "Of coarse Scootaloo.  . . . anything you need, feel free."  She turned to Rainbow Dash with a look that begged for a explanation. However, she was interrupted when Pinkie started shouting... //-------------------------------------------------------// Celestia Arrives //-------------------------------------------------------// Celestia Arrives "She's here. She's here!" Twilight moved the window in a hurry, knocking Pinkie out the way slightly. "Where? I don't see her."  The royal trumpets were sounding off to announce the Princess's arrival.  "Oh there she is."  Twilight felt stupid the princess was right there in plain sight. "Told ya."  Pinkie said. Her mane and tail re-inflated to its normally poofy form as she walked past the window with a sweet smile. Twilight went to the door and opened it, then dropped to the floor in the deep bow. Celestia walked through the door the others bowed to the floor, including Scootaloo that came out the bathroom at that moment. Celestia looked around the room seeing everyone. With a nod the girls got back on their hooves. Scootaloo, seeing the others getting up, did so also. She moved over slowly and carefully to Rainbow Dash. She wasn't scared of the princess, she just wasn't sure what to do or think right now. Would the princess side with her mom? With Rainbow Dash? Would she have to leave Ponyville? Would the Princess make her? There were too many questions and not enough answers. Scootaloo's mind went blank, seeing the princess looking at her with a look of concern and compassion. Celestia watched the small filly at only a moment to see that Twilight was correct. The signs were ever clear. She walked slowly to the middle of the room. Scootaloo glanced at Rainbow, not sure what to do. Rainbow Dash lightly pushed her forward to let her to approach her. Scootaloo used all her bravery to walk in front of her. She sat down the floor her and slowly looked up at her. Celestia knelled down to her level. "Young Scootaloo. I have seen many things in a long life. Yet, the sadness in your eyes tops many of them. Tell me, in your own words: Who has stolen your happiness?" Tears started down Scootloo's face. She threw her small hooves around Celestia's neck and hugged her, not caring about appearances either. Celestia listened to the quiet words and soft cries as Scootaloo whispered into her flowing mane. Her eyes  widened and narrowed with every few seconds, utterly disgusted with the details on what has happening to her small subject. Scootaloo let out everything, including her accidents and how she had to clean the last one up.. Celestia was careful not to show her anger to the terror filled filly. Scootaoo felt a little better getting that off her chest. Almost not wanting to let go of the warmth that Celestia naturally had. "What is your mother's name?" " . . . Light Cloud." "Where does she live?" "The house at the edge of town. It looks like it's falling apart. Can't miss it." A ghost of a smile started to form on Scootaloo's face. Something was going to happen. She was on her side. She wasn't trash like her mother has told her so many times. Celestia stood and called outside to her guards. "Guards."  Her voice was still soft but demanding and the guards were there at the door a heartbeat later. "Yes your highness!"  Both said in perfect unison. "The mare, Light Cloud, is to stand trail for foal abuse. She is located at the house at the end of town." Both guards saluted as she turned to Twilight. "You were right to summon me."  Twilight smiled. "There is one more thing.", Celestia said to the guards, "Rainbow Dash wishes to adopt Scootaloo as her sister."  Celestia turned to Rainbow with an approving look Both guards saluted. "We will take care of that shortly, Miss Dash". The guards turned around and went to find Light. "You mean...", Scootaloo said with glee in her voice, "She's going to by my sister?!" "Yes Scootaloo", Celestia said. Scootaloo hugged Rainbow Dash tightly, not wanting to let go. However, the heartwarming scene didn't last long when a random voice yelled. "SCOOTALOO!" A blazing arrow wissed by Scootloo's face, cutting her cheek slightly. She looked over to see Light Cloud with her crossbow. "YOU'RE DEAD DEMON SPAWN!!! YOU AND THAT TRAITOR RAINBOW DASH!!!" Light cloud voice was almost demon like in her rage. Her cross-bow in her hoof she took another shot from across the street, easily seen from the window of the library. Celestia with narrowed eyes caught the arrow with her magic and broke it in half. She grabbed hold of Light with her magic and levitated her across the street into the library. Unfazed by being captive of the princess, she struggled to the frozen hold of the princess's power. The princess walked closer to her seeing this enraged mare, her eyes wild and wide, unblinking as her hate was directed at her child and Rainbow Dash. Unable to take that look any longer, she used her magic to knock her out, leaving her limp in the air. Her guards ran back to the library hearing the insane mare screams from the other side of town. They busted through the door braking it and denting the wall "Princess!" "It's alright. all over now."  The Guards walked up to the unconscious mare.  "We are taking her to Canterlot."  She looked over to the others. "I would like to see all of you there. We have things to discuss." The others nodded as Celestia dropped the mare into the waiting hooves of her guards. The Elements of Harmony went back the their homes to get ready... //-------------------------------------------------------// A Short Moment Between the Two Future Sisters //-------------------------------------------------------// A Short Moment Between the Two Future Sisters Scootaloo was on the train to Canterlot, along with Rainbow Dash and her friends. She and Rainbow Dash were the only ones awake at the moment. Rainbow Dash couldn't sleep because she was still very angry and was trying to calm herself down. Scootaloo on the other hoof, was trying to ignore the crippling pain in her very empty stomach.  She tried not to groan, as it would get some pony's attention, but was unsuccessful. "OHHHHHH!", she groaned out loud. Rainbow Dash immediately heard the groan and went over to Scootaloo, who was rubbing her stomach. "What's wrong, Squirt?", she asked. "N-nothing, Rainbow Dash" A loud rumble came from Scootaloo's stomach. It was so loud, Pinkie squirmed in her sleep. Rainbow Dash put her hoof on Scootaloo's stomach. She could feel Scootaloo's tiny ribs. "When's the last time you ate?" Scootaloo was afraid to answer that question. She didn't want Rainbow to get steamed. "Squirt?" "I..." Her stomach rumbled again, this time louder, making Scootaloo groan in pain again. Rainbow Dash started rubbing Scootaloo's stomach. "Tell me please" Taking a deep breath, Scootaloo spoke. "I haven't eaten in like a week! I always just sit at the table and watch my mom eat. And when she's full, she throws the leftovers in my face!!" Rainbow Dash had to strain to keep herself from yelling. "What?! OOH THAT BI-" Scootaloo put her hoof over Rainbow's mouth before she could finish. "Please don't say it" "Sorry Scoots. Anyway, is there anything you want from the food car? I can get you something." Scootaloo thought about it before speaking. "Some hay fries and soda would be okay" "OK, Squirt. Wait here" Rainbow Dash took off, heading to the food car. Scootaloo laid there, thinking about her new life, and her new sister. Her idol, or, quote: "The Most Awesome Pony in all of Equestria", was going to be her sister. She kept thinking before an opening door interrupted her thoughts. She looked up to see Rainbow Dash walking towards her with her hay fries and soda. "Here ya go, Squirt", she said, hoofing the food to Scootaloo and sitting down next to her. "Thanks, Rainbow Dash" "No problem, Squirt" Scootaloo shoved her face into the hay. She couldn't help it. It tasted so good. Rainbow Dash looked at Scootaloo, who was stuffing her face with hay. Smiling, she began to pet Scootaloo's mane. However, the exact moment she touched the top of Scootaloo's head, Scootaloo flinched hard and immediately looked up. Seeing Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo got embarrassed. "S-sorry, Rainbow Dash" "It's OK, Scoots. It's just something you have to get used to." Scootaloo went back to her food while Rainbow Dash kept petting her mane. After about five minutes, Scootaloo finished her hay and drank her soda. Scootaloo let out a loud burp and then yawned loudly. Her meal had gotten to her. "I guess you need some sleep" Scootaloo looked up at Rainbow Dash, fluttering her eyes. Rainbow Dash let a small 'aw' escape her mouth. She covered Scootaloo up and was about to get back into her bed when she felt something pulling on her tail. She looked back to see her tail in Scootaloo's hooves. "What is it, Scoots?" "Can you lay with me, please? Rainbow Dash smiled then nodded. She got into Scootaloo's bed and laid down next to her. She suddenly felt something go into her chest. She looked up to see Scootaloo snuggling with her. Rainbow Dash thought this was adorable and draped her wing around Scootaloo. Right before Scootaloo fell asleep, she said something that caught Rainbow Dash off guard. "I love you, Big Sister" Rainbow Dash felt a tear come to her eye when hearing this. Putting her head on top of Scootaloo's she said one last thing to Scootaloo before falling asleep. "I love you too, Little Sister", she said as she kissed Scootaloo on her forehead. //-------------------------------------------------------// Court //-------------------------------------------------------// Court Scootaloo woke up when Celestia's sun hit her face. She yawned loudly. But then she remembered something, she was snuggling with Rainbow Dash. She immediately check her hind legs and tail. She sighed in relief when she found out she was dry. She then heard Rainbow Dash yawn. Rainbow Dash looked down at Scootaloo, who was still snuggling with her. "Morning, Squirt", she said. "Morning, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said, hugging Rainbow Dash lightly. Rainbow hugged her back, smiling. They both noticed the other five ponies awake at this time. However, before they could start talking, the train came to a stop. They all looked out through the window, seeing the Canterlot Train Station. "We're Here!", Pinkie said. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo both took a deep breath before getting out of the bed. Rainbow Dash put Scootaloo on her back and the Elements started walking toward the castle. The Elements started talking about the court and how it might go. Scootaloo couldn't talk. Too many questions were floating through her mind. What if Princess Celestia changes her mind? What if Rainbow Dash doesn't win? What if I have to still live with my horrible mother? Her thoughts were finally interrupted when the Royal Trumpets sounded off. She looked around, they were in the Castle's Courtroom. The Elements of Harmony, except Rainbow Dash, sat down in the audience chairs, while Rainbow and Scootaloo stood in the "Plaintiff" cell. They heard a door open and saw the Royal Guards carrying Light Cloud, who was hoofcuffed on all four of her legs. She looked at Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo with a dirty look before walking into the "Defendant" cell. "All rise for Princess Celestia!", the assistant called. Twilight and her friends all stood as Celestia walked into the room and sat into the "Judge" seat. "Please be seated", she said. They sat down. "Miss Rainbow Dash, you are claiming Miss Light Cloud is the abuser of her daughter, Scootaloo. Correct?" "Yes, Princess", Rainbow Dash said. "Is this true, Miss Cloud?", Celestia said to Light Cloud with a stern look. "Yes, but a have a reason!", she yelled to Celestia. "Calm your voice!!", Celestia yelled to Light, "Speak!" Light Cloud calmed her voice and spoke. "That pathetic filly...", Light said before Celestia gave her the stare. Her stare was about ten times stronger than Fluttershy's. "M-my daughter, Scootaloo, is the cause for the death of my lovely husband, Dark Cloud. She killed him!!" Celestia looked at Scootaloo. "Is this true Miss Scootaloo?" "N-no princess", Scootaloo said with a voice kinda like Fluttershy's. Celestia can tell she was feeling awkward. "Would you please approach the bench, Scootaloo?" Scootaloo looked at Rainbow Dash to get an explanation. Rainbow pointed her hoof at the seat next to Celestia. Scootaloo walked timidly to the bench, sat down and took a deep breath. She looked up to see the assistant walking toward her. "Please raise your right hoof", the assistant said. She did. "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" "I-I do" The assistant went back to the spot and Celestia spoke. "Please tell us what your mother has done to you. And what really happened to your father?" Scootaloo took a deep breath and spoke. "When I was just five, my daddy, Dark Cloud was cooking for me. But he accidentally cut his neck on a butcher's knife and he lost too much blood. She has blamed me for his accident and keeps hurting me, calling me names, and makes me starve. The last time I ate before last night on the train was last week. I always have to sit at the table and watch her eat these huge meals. And when she cant eat anymore, she throws her leftovers in my face. Also, she makes me sleep in a box. She says I won't get a bed until I stopped having accidents. I wanna get this off my chest too. She has hurt me so much, I can't control my bladder. She knows that, but doesn't care. And two days ago, she kicked me in my nose because she thought I was late from school. That's when I had another accident and she made me lick it off the kitchen floor. My last shower was yesterday. Mom doesn't let me use the shower. She would just blast me with the water hose." Scootaloo begin to cry at this point. "I don't want to live with her anymore! I wan't to live with Rainbow Dash! She loves me! She cares about me! Like my daddy!!!" Scootaloo broke down in tears. Both Celestia and Rainbow Dash felt really sorry for her, so they both walked over to her and gave her a hug. The other Elements all said 'aw' simultaneously. After about five minutes, Celestia broke free to finish the court, but Rainbow and Scootaloo still resumed. They really didn't want to let go of each other. While they hugged, Celestia started to talk. "Miss Light Cloud, do you object to any of the information that you daughter has given me?" "Yes!!", Light Cloud yelled, "None of that is true!!!!" "CALM YOUR VOICE!!!!!!!", Celestia yelled to Light Cloud in the Royal Canterlot Voice. She then turned to Rainbow Dash and spoke in her normal voice. "Miss Dash, how did you find out about this? And what happened on the day you saw it? Please approach the bench." "Yes, Princess", Rainbow Dash timidly said. However, she still didn't want to let go of Scootaloo. "Princess, could I bring Scoots with me?" "You may", Celestia said smiling. Rainbow Dash smilied and lightly bit down on Scootaloo's neck to carry her. She flew to the  bench, sat down and laid Scootaloo in her lap. Rainbow began to pet her mane. That's when the assistant walked up to Rainbow. "Please raise your right hoof" She did. "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" "I do", she said with a lot of courage. "Miss Dash", Celestia said, "Please tell us how you found out about this and what happened on the day you found out." "Yes, Princess" Rainbow took a deep breath. "I had just finished the skies in Ponyville and was about to take a nap when my friend Applejack told me that her little sister and one of Scootaloo's friends, Applebloom, said there was something wrong with her. She said she looked like she was hiding something and there was this huge bruise on her flank, as you can see." She lifted Scootaloo's tail and showed Celestia the bruise it was hiding. Celestia gasped lightly. "So I took Scoots and went to her house. That's when I saw Light Cloud, my old friend. I told her that Scoots has told me everything and pounced at Scootaloo. But I hit her in her head, knocking her out and told Scootaloo I was going to adopt her as my little sister. That's when I went to the library and had Twilight contact you." Rainbow Dash started to tear up. "I just can't let her live like this. Her mother couldn't even teach her how to fly. Scootaloo has begged me to teach her how to fly, and I kept saying 'ask your parents'. All I want is for Scoots to have a good life. And I can give it to her." Scootaloo looked up to Rainbow Dash. "Is that really how much you love me?" "Yes Scoots. I love you with all my heart, Little Sister" Scootaloo hugged Rainbow Dash tight. "I love you too!!" Celestia went over to her jury and talked for a bit while Rainbow and Scootaloo continued the hug. Light Cloud was actually shaking right now. And the other Elements were talking about how this case was going to go. "You will win, Sugarcube!", Applejack whispered to Rainbow Dash "I have faith in you, Darling!", Rarity whispered with a smile "If you win, I will throw a Scootaloo-and-Rainbow-Dash-are-now-sisters party!!!!", Pinkie whispered with enthusiasm. "Good Luck, Rainbow Dash!", Twilight whispered, then buried her face in a book. "Umm... do good Rainbow Dash...", Fluttershy said in a timid voice. Celestia walked back to her seat and sat down. "Miss Light Cloud, the jury has ruled you guilty of foal abuse and endangerment!! You are sentenced to life in my dungeon!!!!" "What?!!!", Light Cloud said, sounding very scared, "Princess, please!! I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry, Miss Cloud", Celestia said, "but my ruling is final!" Light Cloud got down on her knees. "No, please!!! Give me another chance!! Scootaloo, I'm sorry!!!! I'll treat you better!!! Just please don't let her do this!!!" "No!", Scootaloo yelled with a stern look, walking to her mother, "This is what you get! You hurt me for three years! So now you gonna get hurt for the rest of your life!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!" Scootaloo kicked Light in her nose, causing it to bleed heavenly. "HOW DOES IT FEEL?! HURTS DOESN'T IT?!!!!" Rainbow picked Scootaloo up and put her on her back. "That's enough Scoots", Rainbow said. "Sorry, Rainbow Dash. I just couldn't wait to get revenge!" "You did!", Rainbow Dash said. "She's on the floor crying with a broken nose because of you". "Yeah, It feels so good!!" The two laughed and then silenced themselves when Celestia said "Order". "Guards!", Celestia said, "Take her to the dungeon!" "Yes, Princess", the guards said. They started to drag Light Cloud away. "Please. Don't do this Princess!!!! Let me try again!!!" "Guards, stop", Celestia said. "Miss Scootaloo will decide! Scootaloo, should we take her away, or let her try again?" Scootaloo didn't even hesitate to say the answer. "TAKE HER AWAY! I HATE HER!!! RAINBOW DASH IS MY MO- SISTER NOW!!!!" "Guards, resume!", Celestia said. The guards started to drag her away, while Light was still begging. When she was gone all the ponies in the room clapped. "Order in the court", Celestia said. "Now for the other thing. Miss Rainbow Dash, I am granting you full custody and supervision rights over Scootaloo. You will now be responsible for her now. I am also rewarding you with 1000 bits to help you pay for her needs. Scootaloo is now your little sister!!!! Cases Closed!!" "Yes!!!!!!", Scootaloo said, hugging Rainbow Dash tightly. The other Elements went down and hugged the two new sisters. Scootaloo broke free from the hug and hugged Celestia. "Thank You, Thank you Thank You!!!!!!!!" "It's no problem Scootaloo". "Squirt?", Rainbow called to Scootaloo. "Yes Rainbow Dash?" "Time to go home". "OK. Good bye Princess!" "Good bye Scootaloo!" Soon The seven ponies were on the train going back to Ponyville. Scootaloo fell asleep with a smile on her face. She couldn't wait to spend the night with Rainbow Dash! //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo has a nightmare(or is it a nightmare?) //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo has a nightmare(or is it a nightmare?) Huh? Where am I? Scootaloo was is a completely dark room. She had no idea where she was or how she got there. Suddenly, a light clicked on. She clenched her eyes shut and soon opened them. She looked up to see Light Cloud standing there. "Hello Scootaloo", she said with an evil grin on her face. Scootaloo almost fainted at the sight. "But how?", she said, "You were sent to the dungeon!" "Do you think it wasn't easy to escape? Piece of cake! You! You got me thrown in that horrible cell!! You're going to pay!!! She pounced at Scootaloo, but Scootaloo ducked and she missed. Scootaloo panicked and tried to run, but was tackled and punched in her stomach. Scootaloo screamed in pain and cried for help. "RAINBOW DASH, HELP ME!!!!!" Light chuckled, "She can't hear you!! No pony can! You and I are almost 90 miles from any pony!!" Scootaloo started to cry and vomited onto the floor from the pain in her stomach. She then wet herself from the pain. "Aww, did you have another accident? CLEAN IT AND YOUR PUKE UP! WITH YOUR TONGUE!!!" Scootaloo got angry and screamed in her mother's face. "NOOOOO!", she screamed, spraying Light's face with vomit. Light got a mouthful and immediately spit it out. "YOU PUKED IN MY FACE!!!! MY MOUTH WAS OPEN TOO!!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!!!!" She pulled out her crossbow. "Mom, please. DON'T DO IT!!!" "THAT'S WHAT I SAID TO YOU IN THAT COURTROOM" She pulled back the arrow and aimed at Scootaloo. "RAINBOW DASH, DADDY, HELP ME!!!!!" "GOODBYE SCOOTALOO!!!" TELL DARK CLOUD I LOVE HIM!!!!" Scootaloo clenched her eyes and embraced for death. That's when she heard a gagging sound. She saw a knife in Light's neck. Light Cloud collapsed to the floor gagging, soon passing out. Scootaloo looked up to see who did that. She almost fainted at who she saw. It was her father, Dark Cloud. She couldn't believe it. "D-daddy?" "Yes, Scootasweetie", Dark said, "it's me, your father" "Scootasweetie", Scootaloo said, hearing her nickname that her father gave her and her mother never used. "It really is you!" She ran up to her father and jumped into his hooves, hugging him tight. "Yes, yes. I missed you too" "But how? You died" Dark Cloud chuckled "Well, you're asleep right now" "What? But everything looks so real" She poked the air, seeing waves form around her hoof. "I assure you, you are sleeping" Dark Cloud hugged Scootaloo. "Scootasweetie, I wanna talk. Sit down." He put his hind legs in front of himself and Scootaloo sat down in his lap. Dark Cloud began to pet Scootaloo's mane. "I know everything Scoots. Everything. From the day I died to right now. I can't believe Light did that. She loved you, very much. She cried hard when she first saw your eyes." "I can't believe that, Daddy", Scootaloo said, a tear rolling down her face, "She hates me!!" She blames me for your death!" "Shh... You had nothing to do with it. You were in daycare. Light was at Sugarcube Corner. I was home alone at the house making your favorite hay fries and I slipped  in a puddle of water and fell neck first onto the knife I was using I lost too much blood, or bled out" "I know, Daddy, but she doesn't care!! She hurts me over everything!!! I wouldn't wet myself uncontrollably  if it wasn't for her!!" Scootaloo buried her face into Dark Cloud's coat, crying hard. "Sweetie, please stop crying. It breaks my heart when you cry. I hate seeing you sad. It makes me cry". Dark Cloud had tears running down his face at this point. "I can't! I'm too sad, and angry!!!" Dark Cloud pulled Scootaloo in close too him and her rested his head on top of Scootaloo's. They just sat there. Scootaloo crying hard enough to where she had the hiccups while crying, while Dark Cloud had tears running down his face. "I wish you were still alive!!! I wanna see you again, for real!!!! I'm scared of Mom! I live with Rainbow Dash, but I'm afraid I might do something wrong and she wont want me anymore!!!!" "Sweetie, why would she do that? She saved your life. If she didn't want you, would she have saved you? Why would she have bought you hay fries and soda? Why would she have told Princess Celestia about Light? She loves you, Scootasweetie, with all her heart, like me!" "Yes, I do", a another voice said. They both turned around to she Rainbow Dash standing next to them. "Love you so much, it kills me!" "You really think that, Rainbow Dash?" "Yes, Squirt, I do" Rainbow Dash hugged Scootaloo. "Hey, Dark Cloud. It's been a while" "Yes it has". Scootaloo got confused. "You know each other?" "Yes, Scootasweetie", Dark said, "We were friends in high school. I wanted to be her coltfriend, but then I saw Light and ditched her. I'm sorry Rainbow Dash." "Water under the bridge, Darky", Rainbow said, hugging Dark. However, the room, Dark and Rainbow started to fade. "We have to go now, Sweetie", Dark said, "You are about to wake up". Scootaloo hugged her father tight one last time before he faded away. "I love you, Daddy", she said crying. "It's okay, Squirt. You have me. I love you like your father does". Scootaloo hugged Rainbow Dash. "Th-thank you, Rainbow Dash, for everything!" "No problem, Squirt. Let's get you back home. That door right there will wake you up." Scootaloo walked over to the door and opened it. She looked at Rainbow Dash one more time before she faded away. Scootaloo walked throught the door. Scootaloo woke up, crying softly. Rainbow Dash went over to her and rubbed her back. "I saw your dream. Everything." "I love you, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said, hugging her. "I love you too, Scootaloo. Umm... you wet yourself during your dream..." //-------------------------------------------------------// Doctor's Appointment //-------------------------------------------------------// Doctor's Appointment "What?!" Scootaloo looked down. Sure enough, there was a big yellow stain on the sheet. Her private area, hind legs, and tail were soaked. A sharp smell she was very familiar with hit her muzzle. Scootaloo started to cry again. Wetting herself was one thing, but in front of her new sister? It was too embarrassing. Rainbow Dash draped her wing around Scootaloo, ignoring the wetness and smell. "It's OK, Squirt. I know how you're feeling. Can you keep a secret?" Scootaloo nodded. "When I was eight, like you, I had bed-wetting problems. They were the one thing that I feared wouldn't get me into the Wonderbolts. Every pony called me 'Wet Rainbow' and 'Dirty Dash'. But I didn't let that stop me from achieving what I wanted. I'm still trying, but I know one day I will. In fact, Fluttershy was the only one who didn't mind my problem." "I didn't know you had those problems. But how did it stop?" "It just did. Don't know how. Anyway Squirt, we need to get you a doctor's appointment. We need to find out how to help these problems. You can sleep with me for the rest of the ride." "Thanks, Rainbow Dash" About two hours later, the seven ponies had gotten off the train. Applejack went back home to buck apples, Rarity went to make some dresses, Fluttershy went to see how her animals were doing, Pinkie Pie went to plan the party for Rainbow and Scootaloo, and Twilight went back to the library. The two sisters were walking to the hospital to have Scootaloo's problems checked out. When they got there, they were greeted by Nurse Redheart. "Rainbow Dash", she said, "Long time no see" "Hey, Nurse Redheart. We have a problem. Or, Scoots here has a problem." "What's wrong little filly?" Scootaloo was too embarrassed to say anything. "Do we need to talk privately?" Scootaloo nodded. Redheart and Scootaloo went into a room while Rainbow sat in the waiting room, reading a Daring Do. "What's wrong?" "I have uncontrollable accidents. I pee myself a lot" "Oh, I've seen this before. I need to test this. But first..." Redheart pulled out a small plastic cup, "... you'll need to fill this" "With what?" Redheart whispered the answer into her ear. "Oh. OK" Scootaloo went into the bathroom to fill the cup. After 30 seconds, Scootaloo returned with a now full cup, hoofing it to Redheart. Redheart checked the cup and the chart said "stable". "OK, nothing wrong with eating problems. Lay down. I need to x-ray your lower body." Scootaloo did and Nurse Redheart put the huge camera over Scootaloo. "Close your eyes, sweetie. This light is too bright for you" Scootaloo clenched her eyes shut while Redheart took a few pictures of Scootaloo's lower body. After about five pictures, she told Scootaloo she could sit up. She then placed each picture and put them on the lightboard. She gasped at what she saw. "I'm afraid this is something you will have to deal with until you are 18, little Scootaloo" "What?!" "I'm sorry. But do you see these dark spots on your bladder?" She nodded. "They are multiple bruises. They will take 10 years to heal. You will wet yourself if you are frightened, struck, or have a nightmare. In the mean time, you may want to consider wearing nighttime protection while you sleep." "What is nighttime protection?" "You may want to wear diapers while you sleep" Scootaloo was surprised, but really didn't care about the diapers. She was still sore over the duration of the accidents. "Yes, Nurse Redheart" "Good, have a nice day, Scootaloo" Scootaloo walked back into the waiting room just when Rainbow Dash finished the book. "How did it go?", Rainbow asked. But she knew something was up, judging by the expression on Scootaloo's face. "I have to wear... d-diapers while I sleep" "Oh... well it's not that bad. Won't mind changing ya" "Thanks, Rainbow Dash" "No problem, Squirt. So, Pinkie said she is setting a party for you and me. Why don't we go to Sugarcube Corner and celebrate with her, and then we'll get you the stuff you need and go home." "I would love that, Rainbow Dash" "Cool, hop on" Scootaloo climbed onto Rainbow's back and Rainbow flew off to Sugarcube Corner. Scootaloo was still worried about the diapers. Hopefully, they wouldn't turn out bad. But she shook the thought out of her head and started thinking about the party. //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie's Party/New Home //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie's Party/New Home Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo arrived at Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow Dash opened the door and the two were attacked by the delicious aroma of different cakes and sweets. Scootaloo's mouth watered and her stomach growled. Then, by the record player, was Pinkie Pie, who was setting the records up for the party. After finishing, she turned to Rainbow and Scootaloo. "Hiya Rainbow Dash. Hiya Scootaloo!" "Hey Pinkie", they both said at the same time. "Cool setup, Pinkie", Rainbow Dash said, "What do you think, Squirt?" However, when she looked back, Scootaloo was gone. "Squirt?" She turned around to see Scootaloo at the desserts, stuffing her face. Rainbow chuckled. "Guess some pony was hungry." "Yep-yep!", Pinkie said, "So, the party starts in two hours. I need to give these invitations to our friends. Would you watch the bakery while I'm gone?" "Sure, Pinkie" "Okie Dokey Lokie! Help yourself to anything. I always have more" "Thanks Pinkie" Pinkie dashed off out of sight and went to go give out the invitations out. Rainbow Dash went over to the desserts, grabbed two chocolate chip cookies and a large slice of chocolate cake, and sat down at one of the tables. Scootaloo joined her with a glass of Pinkie's pink punch and a few cookies. "Party starts in two hours, Scoots. So, be ready" "I will, Rainbow Dash" Scootaloo slowly took a sip of her drink, hoping not to taste alligator spit like she did when Gummy was swimming in the punch at Pinkie's birthday party for Gummy. "I'm excited" "For the party?" "Yeah, and that I'm gonna live with the most awesome pony in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash chuckled. "Thanks Squirt" Rainbow shoved the cake into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed. "So, how's school?" "Fine. Silver Spoon is my friend now, because she found out Diamond Tiara was just using her as a sidekick." "Wow, that's cool. And, how's your grades?" "Well, I'm passing everything except for math. I'm trying to improve." "I could help you with math. Math was my best subject when I was in school. What do you need help with?" "Multiplication and Division. We're working on that right now." "Cool. Those are super easy for me. Do you have a crush on a colt?" "What? No" Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrows. "OK, I like Pipsqueak" "The one who dressed like a pirate on Nightmare Night?" Scootaloo blushed and nodded. "It's alright Scoots. I have a crush on Dr. Hooves, but he's married to Derpy." "Really? Is there any pony else you like?" "Umm... Big Macintosh" Scootaloo almost spit out her punch. "Apple Bloom's older brother?" "Yeah" "Cool. I knew it!" Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Hee-hee!" "OK, is there anything else you want to talk about?" "Well, this whole diaper situation. I have a lot of questions about that." "Like what?" "Well, what if it leaks while I sleep?" "That won't happen unless you can pee a bucket, which I don't think you can do." "I can't. OK, what if I do something else besides wet myself." "What do you mean?" "You know. What if I... mess myself while sleeping?" "I don't know if you would, but that usually only happens if you're a foal" "OK. Last one, what if some pony else sees me in my diaper?" "They won't. Besides, Rarity said she made you some pajamas, but you never went to pick them up." "Oh. Right" "Yeah. We'll just put the pajamas on you after the diaper." "OK" Two hours later... Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo and Pinkie were all at Sugarcube corner enjoying the party. Scootaloo was over at the chocolate fountain, dipping some strawberries and marshmallows in it. Scootaloo had to admit, she missed this for a long time. Being surrounded by good things and ponies that loved her and cared about her. Scootaloo dipped one more strawberry in the fountain before Pinkie stuck her whole head in it. After grabbing another glass of punch, she sat down at a table and started to enjoy her chocolate-dipped treats. Every time one of the others walked by her, she would get a pat on her back, or ruffle in her mane or a "Congratulations". Scootaloo smiled and whispered to herself. "Thanks every pony." She looked up. "And thank you, Daddy" Six hours later... Every pony, except for Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo and Pinkie, were all worn out from the party. Every pony except the three left with a good bye. "Thanks for the party, Pinkie", Scootaloo said, "Mare, I'm stuffed" "Me too, Squirt. Nite Pinkie" "Bye, Rainbow Dash. Bye Scootaloo.", Pinkie said, putting the leftovers in the fridge and the excess dishes in the sink. "So, Scoots, we need to get you the protection and go home". "OK, Rainbow Dash" Scootaloo hopped onto Rainbow's back and the two went off. About 20 minutes later, they had gotten the diapers and some foal powder, picked up Scootaloo's pajamas, and gotten to Rainbow's cloud house. Scootaloo yawned loudly. "OK, Scoots, lets get one of these and your pajamas on you. Then you can go to bed." Rainbow carried Scootaloo and the diapers up to her room. She laid Scootaloo on the bed and took out one of the diapers and the powder. She sprinkled some of the powder on Scootaloo's private area and put the diaper on her. "How does it feel?" "It feels... soft, and comfortable" "OK. Now for the pajamas" Rainbow Dash put the pajamas on Scootaloo. Scootaloo scooted up to the top of the bed and laid down. Rainbow Dash layed down next to her and draped her wing over Scootaloo like a blanket. "Good night, Rainbow Dash" "Good night, Scootaloo" They both fell asleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// A Good Breakfast //-------------------------------------------------------// A Good Breakfast Rainbow Dash woke up when Celestia's sun shined in her face. She then looked at Scootaloo, who was sleeping with a smile on her face. Rainbow smiled. She wished she could just lay there and cuddle with her sister all day, but it was Monday, the worst day of the week. She had weather patrol, and Scootaloo had to go to school. She looked at the clock. "6:30", she said, "guess it's time to wake Scoots up". She lightly nuzzled Scootaloo's cheek, waking her up. "Rainbow Dash?", Scootaloo said, rubbing her eyes. "Yeah, Squirt. You need to wake up. You have to go to school". Scootaloo sat up, feeling something warm and wet on her flank. She knew exactly what it was she was feeling. "Umm... Rainbow Dash" "Yes?" "I'm wet" Scootaloo was embarrassed and tried to hide her face. "It's okay, Scoots" Rainbow hugged Scootaloo. "It was an accident. Don't cry" "I won't" "Good. Now lets get that wet diaper off of you so you can get into the shower. Don't want you to go to school smelling like pee". "OK, Rainbow Dash" Rainbow Dash removed Scootaloo's pajamas, took the diaper off of her and threw it into the trash can by her bed. "Alright, Scoots. Bathroom's over there". She pointed to the door at the end of the hallway. "While you get cleaned up, I'll go make us some breakfast. Anything you want in particular?" Scootaloo thought about it for a minute. "Chocolate-chip-pancakes and some hay bacon?" "Sure. If that's what you want." Scootaloo nodded and walked into the bathroom to take her shower. Rainbow got out of bed and went into the kitchen to make the pancakes. In the kitchen... Rainbow yawned when she got into the kitchen. She hated waking up early, but it was worth it for a good breakfast. Plus, she only had to work for seven hours and then was free to go. She walked over to refrigerator and pulled out the hay bacon, and then walked to the pantry to grab the chocolate chips and powdered pancake batter. After washing her hooves, she began to cook. In the shower... The warm water felt heavenly to Scootaloo. However, the water felt different that the water at Twilight's Library. She knew what is was. It was fresh rain water. She knew it because she was in a cloud house. Scootaloo raised her tail so she could wash it. She had to fight the musky smell of her urine-soaked tail. After cleaning her tail, hind legs, and private area, she turned off the water and grabbed the towel on the rack. After drying herself off, she exited the bathroom and went into the kitchen. The delicious aroma of chocolate and hay bacon attacked Scootaloo's muzzle. She walked to the table, sat down in one of the chairs, and waited patiently for her breakfast. "Almost ready, Scoots", Rainbow said, still cooking hay bacon, "Just gotta finish the the hay bacon" "OK, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said, "Got any apple juice?" "Yeah, it's in the fridge. You can have some." "Thanks" Scootaloo went over to the refrigerator and opened it. She saw the apple juice in plain sight. The juice was in little bottles with straws, giving away the fact that it was from the Apple Family. She grabbed one for herself and one for Rainbow Dash. She then walked back to the table and sat down in her chair. Rainbow had just finished the hay bacon and put the strips on two plates, along with the pancakes. After setting the plates, she walked over to the table and sat down. She put one plate in front of Scootaloo and one in front of herself. Scootaloo gave the spare apple juice bottle to Rainbow Dash. "Thanks, Squirt. Dig in." Scootaloo looked at the contents of her plate. There was a stack of four chocolate chip pancakes and a tiny pile of hay bacon. Scootaloo started to stuff her face, not caring about how messy she was eating. Rainbow smiled and continued to work on her own breakfast. After the two finished their breakfast, Scootaloo burped loudly. "Excuse me" "No problem, Scoots. I can do better." Rainbow Dash chugged her apple juice and then let out a longer and louder burp. "Whoa!" "Told ya!" Rainbow stood up and stretched. Scootaloo did the same. "Want me to wash our plates?", Scootaloo said. "Sure. I need to take a shower, anyway" "OK." Scootaloo carried the plates with her teeth and carried them to the sink. After washing the dishes, she went into the living room and layed down on the couch to relax while her meal digested. She looked at the clock. It was 7:00. After about 10 minutes, she heard Rainbow Dash come out of the bathroom. She walked into the living room and sat next to Scootaloo. "We have about thirty minutes before we have to leave. Do you like checkers?". Rainbow asked Scootaloo. Scootaloo nodded. "OK, Scoots. Wait right here". Rainbow left and then returned with a box of checkers. The two started to play multiple games until the clock said 7:30. Scootaloo won the streak with 7-3. "You're good, Squirt" "Thanks" "OK, Scoots. Time to go." "OK". Rainbow Dash stood up and Scootaloo hopped on her back. The two flew off toward the schoolhouse. //-------------------------------------------------------// School //-------------------------------------------------------// School Rainbow Dash dropped Scootaloo off at the schoolhouse. "See ya at 3:00, Squirt", Rainbow said before dashing off out of sight. Scootaloo walked toward the entrance. Before she reached it, she was greeted by her fellow Crusaders. "Hi, Scootaloo", Applebloom said. "Hey, Scootaloo", Sweetie Belle said. "Hey. What's up?", Scootaloo said. "Applejack told me that yer mother was abusin ya, and was thrown in tha dungeon", Applebloom said. "Yeah", Sweetie said, "Rarity said the same thing" "It's true. Rainbow Dash is my sister now", Scootaloo said, "We'll finish this conversation later. Let's go in before Ms. Cherilee counts us tardy". The other two fillies nodded and the Crusaders went in to the school. They sat in their group. Two weeks ago, Cherilee allowed the students to sit in groups or pairs, so the Crusaders, along with Silver Spoon, all sit together. Snips and Snails sit together, Pipsqueak and Featherweight sit together, Twist and Teacher's Pet sit together, and Diamond Tiara sits alone. Silver Spoon had just arrived and sat with the Crusaders. "Hey, Crusaders!", she said. "Hey, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said, "What's up?" "Nothing, Scootaloo. The usual." "How does it feel that yer not with that brat Diamond Tiara anymore?", Applebloom said. "You don't know how much weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, Applebloom. It feels good. I don't even know why I bullied you." "I'm just glad we're friends now.", Sweetie Belle said. "So am I, Sweetie Belle", Silver Spoon said, "So, how is the crusading going?" "Ah just don't know what we would be good at.", Applebloom said. "We've tried so many times.", Sweetie Belle said. "True", Scootaloo said, "And the only things we've gotten are tree sap, pine needles, or mud on ourselves." "Don't worry, Scoots", Silver Spoon said, "You still have a lot of time. The possibilities are like, endless!" "Yeah", Scootaloo said. The four fillies all hoof-bumped. Meanwhile... Diamond Tiara sat in the back of the room, twirling her pencil around her desk with her hoof. She stared in disgust at the four fillies at the front, having a happy conversation. She felt "robbed" of her "friend". Silver Spoon used to sit with her and they would whisper to each other or pass notes to each other about their classmates, mostly the Crusaders. But that changed when she wrote a note about Silver Spoon and accidentally left it on her desk. Silver Spoon read it while Diamond Tiara was in the bathroom. When she returned, Silver Spoon yelled at Diamond Tiara and ended their friendship. What really ticked her off was when Silver Spoon apologized to the Crusaders and started a new friendship with them. Diamond Tiara watched in disgust as the Crusaders and Silver Spoon talked happily among themselves. However, they stopped talking when Cherilee walked through the door. "Alright, my little ponies", Cherilee said, "Quiet down". All of her students stopped talking. "Good. Now, I will return your tests from last week to you". Cherilee grabbed the graded papers and started to pass them out. She gave the Crusaders their papers. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon all got happy to see they got an A+ on their tests. However, Scootaloo wasn't so happy. She had gotten a D+ on her test. Silver Spoon looked at Scootaloo with concern. "You OK, Scoots?" "No, I failed another test. Multiplication and Division are my worst areas!" "Scoots, I could help you if you would like. I'm awesome at those." "Really?" "Yeah. I don't mind." "Cool. Thanks, Silver Spoon." "You're welcome, Scoots". Diamond Tiara almost fainted at what she just heard. Silver Spoon ALWAYS helped Diamond Tiara with her assignments. No. Actually, she always did them for her. Diamond Tiara did nothing in return. And when she gets her paper back, she shows it to her father, Filthy Rich, and acts like she did it all by herself. This was a major clue for Silver Spoon to figure out the "sidekick" thing. "OK", Cherilee said, "Today we will be doing more Multiplication and Division. We will be taking notes and discussing. OK, please turn to page 413 in your textbooks." "Scootaloo", Silver Spoon whispered to Scootaloo. "Yeah?" "I forgot my textbook. Do you mind sharing with me?" "Not at all" Silver Spoon smiled and the two shared Scootaloo's textbook. "Now", Cherilee said, "Please take out your notebooks and copy they grey box" "Umm... Silver Spoon", Scootaloo whispered to Silver Spoon. "Yes?" "I don't have a pencil. May I borrow one?" "Sure" Silver Spoon pulled a spare pencil out of her mane and hoofed it to Scootaloo. "Thanks" "No problem" The two started to take the notes. Three hours later... "Alright, Every pony", Cherilee said with a smile, "Lunch time. Please return in thirty minutes. You are dismissed." The class darted out of the room and went to the playground to have their lunch. The Crusaders and Silver Spoon sat at a bench, while Diamond Tiara sat alone at the swing-set, about ten hooves from the fillies. The fillies all opened their lunch boxes and started eating and talking. "So, Scootaloo", Silver Spoon said, eating a daffodil-and-dandelion-sandwich, "I hear that Rainbow Dash is your sister." "Yep", Scootaloo said, eating a hay-and-daisy-sandwich, "and it is awesome". "Hey, Scootaloo", Applebloom said, eating an apple fritter, "What happened while you were in court?" "Oh, well, my mom, Light Cloud was thrown in the dungeon. She actually begged me to reverse the the decision, but I said no." "That's why you were acting so weird", Sweetie Belle said, eating a sunflower-and-oat-salad. "Yeah. I was too scared to tell any pony" "Scoots", Applebloom said, "You can tell us anything. Were yer friends." "Yeah", Sweetie said, "and we always will be". "Thanks." The four ponies all group hugged. Diamond Tiara almost choked on her rice cake after seeing the Crusaders hug her friend. She couldn't stand this friendship. It made her angrier and angrier. 3:00 PM The school bell rang and the class left. Scootaloo waited for Rainbow Dash, while Applebloom and Sweetie Belle started to walk home. Silver Spoon said goodbye to Scootaloo and started to walk home. Scootaloo looked up and saw Rainbow Dash approaching. "Hey, Scoots", she said. "Hey, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said. "Ready to go home?" "Yes." Scootaloo hopped on Rainbow's back and they both went back home... //-------------------------------------------------------// Sleepover at Silver Spoon's(Day One) //-------------------------------------------------------// Sleepover at Silver Spoon's(Day One) Friday, 3:00 PM The school bell rang for dismissal. "Have a great weekend, every pony", Cherilee said with a smile, "see you on Monday!" The class all darted out of the door. The Crusaders and Silver Spoon all walked out of the building. "Hey", Silver Spoon said, "I've been thinking. Why don't you three sleep over at my house tonight?" "Sorry, Silver Spoon", Applebloom said, "But ah have to go to Appleloosa with Applejack, Big Mac and Granny Smith." "And I have to go to Canterlot with Rarity", Sweetie Belle said, "Sorry". The two fillies walked home. "What about you, Scootaloo?", Silver Spoon asked Scootaloo. "I don't know, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said, "I don't know if Rainbow Dash will let me, but I'll ask." "OK. If you can, be at my house by 6:00, OK?" "Sure. See ya, Silver Spoon" "See ya" Silver Spoon walked home. Scootaloo waited about five minutes and then saw Rainbow Dash flying above her. Rainbow Dash landed right next to Scootaloo. "Hey, Scoots, what's up?" "Rainbow Dash, can I sleep over at Silver Spoon's house tonight? Please?" Scootaloo shot Rainbow Dash with massive puppy-dog eyes. "Sure, Squirt. I don't care. But there is something you might have forgotten." "What is it?" "Your bed-wetting?" Scootaloo's eyes went big. "Oh, right. I forgot" "Yeah. Still want to go?" "I need to think about it, now." "OK, Scoots. Lets go home." 5:00 PM Scootaloo kept pacing the floor in her new bedroom, still wondering if she should go to the sleepover. To her mind, there were only two choices: go to the sleepover and get laughed at, or don't and upset a friend. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't let her friend she her in a diaper, but she also couldn't let her friend down like this. Taking a deep breath, she walked down to the living room where Rainbow Dash was and sat next to her. "Hey, Scoots.", Rainbow said, "Have you decided yet? You've been up there for nearly an hour." "Yes, Rainbow Dash. I wanna go" "Are you sure? Because I'm not going to come get you in the middle of the night. When you go, you will stay until I go to pick you up tomarrow." "Yes, I'm sure" "OK, Squirt. When do you need to be down there?" "6:00" "OK. Go pack up your stuff and get ready." "OK" Scootaloo went back up to her room and started to pack her stuff up. Once she had packed her stuff up, she put a two diapers in the bag and zipped it up. She grabbed the bag and dragged it to the living room. "I'm ready, Rainbow Dash" "Did you pack the stuff you need for while you sleep?" "Yes" "OK, hop on" Scootaloo put her bag on Rainbow's back and then sat on it. The two started to fly off toward Silver Spoon's house. Meanwhile... Silver Spoon was in her living room, waiting by the front door. "Sweetie", Golden Spoon, Silver Spoon's mother called out, "the spaghetti is almost ready. I made extra for your friend" "OK, Mom" Golden Spoon went into the living room and sat down next to her daughter. "So, Silver Spoon" "Yes, Mother?" "I just want to know: what are you going to tell your friend about your problems?" "Oh, you mean...?" "Yes." "Well, I don't think she will mind. We're friends" "OK. Just remember, if you need anything, just come get me." "Yes, Mom" Right then, the door bell rang. Silver Spoon got up and opened it. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo were outside. "They're here, Mom" Golden Spoon went to the door. "You must be Scootaloo." "Yes, Ms. Spoon. Silver Spoon wanted me to sleep over here." "I know. You are welcome to stay here for tonight." "OK, Squirt", Rainbow said, "I have to go. Have fun" "I will" Rainbow Dash took off, leaving Scootaloo and her bag at the house. "Come in, Dear", Golden Spoon said. Scootaloo walked in and was greeted by Silver Spoon. "Hey, Scootaloo", she said. "Hey, Silver Spoon.  I made it" "Cool. Glad you could make it. You're just in time for dinner." "Cool. Good thing too. I haven't eaten anything since lunch at school." "Me neither" "Silver Spoon, Scootaloo", Golden Spoon called out, "Time to eat" "OK", they both said. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon walked into the kitchen and sat right beside each other at the table. Golden Spoon gave the two fillies a huge plate of spaghetti and a glass of soda. "Thanks, Ms. Spoon." "You're welcome. Now you two eat. I'll be in the living room." Golden Spoon walked into the living room, while Silver Spoon and Scootaloo started to eat and talk. Scootaloo was telling Silver Spoon the story about the court and what happened. "And that's why Rainbow Dash is my sister." "Whoa. That sounds like it was very dramatic." "It was". The two finished their dinner and set their plates in the sink. "Mom", Silver Spoon called out, "We're finished. Can we go up to my room now?" "Yes", Golden Spoon called out. "OK. Scoots, follow me" Silver Spoon lead Scootaloo up to her room. She and Scootaloo went into her room and closed the door. Scootaloo looked around in awe. Everything was awesome. "Whoa, Silver Spoon. Everything is cool!" "Thanks. I get a lot of allowance, so I buy a lot of stuff." "Cool". "Yeah. Like video games?" "You bet I do!" "Look at this." Silver Spoon showed Scootaloo her game system. Scootaloo immediately recognized what it was. "Is than an XBUCK ONE?!" "Yeah. It was 500 bits. It took me forever to save up. Wanna play Pac-Mare?" "Sure. That's my favorite game!" Silver Spoon turned the Pac-Mare game on and gave Scootaloo a controller. The two played the game for a long time. Every time one of the fillies failed the game, the other would take its place. Eventually, they both played enough and turned the XBUCK ONE off. "That was fun", Scootaloo said. "Yep", Silver Spoon said. "So, what now?" The aroma of chocolate chip cookies attacked their muzzles. Silver Spoon smiled. "I guess it's snack time" Scootaloo nodded and the two fillies went back into the kitchen. Sure enough, there was a huge stack of chocolate chip cookies on the table. "Help yourself", Golden Spoon said, "I made these for you. I'm about to go to bed, so please don't make too much noise." "Yes, ma'am", they both said at the same time. Silver Spoon and Scootaloo went over to the table and started to stuff their faces with cookies. Golden Spoon smiled and went over to the refrigerator. She pulled out two tall glasses of milk and gave one to Scootaloo and one to Silver Spoon. "Enjoy", Golden Spoon said, "You may have as many as you want. Good night." Golden Spoon went up to her room. Silver Spoon and Scootaloo continued to devour the cookies and the milk. After about five minutes, the stopped eating. "Mare, that hit the spot", Silver Spoon said. "You can say that again", Scootaloo said. "Mare, that hit the spot", Silver Spoon said again. The two laughed, then yawned. "I'm tired", Scootaloo said. "So am I. You can sleep with me, in my bed". "Thanks. Hope you don't snore" "I don't" The two went up to Silver Spoon's room. However, Scootaloo remembered something. "Umm... Silver Spoon" "Yes?" "I have to go to the bathroom. May I use yours?" "Sure. It's over there" She pointed to the door across the room. "Thanks. Let me just grab my pajamas." Scootaloo went over to to her and pulled out her pajamas. She looked over at Silver Spoon to make sure she wasn't looking. Sighing she grabbed a diaper, the powder, and her pajamas and went into the bathroom. She layed down on the floor and sprinkled the powder on her nether regions. After that, she put her diaper on. She then put the pajamas on and opened the door . However, a pillow hit her in her face. She looked up to see Silver Spoon in her pajamas, holding another pillow. "This means war!", Scootaloo said, grabbing the pillow off of the floor. She threw it at Silver Spoon, hitting her in her face. Silver Spoon removed her glasses. "PILLOW FIGHT", they both said at the same time. Scootaloo pounced at Silver Spoon with her pillow. The two kept playing their pillow fight. However, Silver Spoon planned something else. "Hey, Scoots. Think fast!" She snuck behind Scootaloo and pantsed her, exposing her diaper. It only took Scootaloo five seconds to notice. Silver Spoon stared at Scootaloo's diaper. Scootaloo started to tear up and ran into the bathroom. "Scoots, wait!" Silver Spoon started to feel guilty and knocked on the door. "Scoots?" "What?" Her voice had a lot of sadness in it. "Scoots, please come out. I wanna talk to you." Silver Spoon heard the door unlock and then it opened. Scootaloo's eyes wear pouring tears. Silver Spoon could tell she was heavily embarrassed. So she decided to show Scootaloo her "problems". "Scootaloo, I wanna show you something" "What is it?" Silver Spoon removed her pajama bottoms. Scootaloo gasped at what she saw. "Is that a diaper?!" "Y-yes. I'm a bed-wetter, like you." Silver Spoon got embarrassed and started to cry. She was even more embarrassed than Scootaloo. Scootaloo felt sorry for her and pulled Silver Spoon into a hug. Scootaloo rubbed Silver Spoon's back, hoping to make her feel better. Scootaloo broke the hug and wiped Silver Spoon's tears from her face. Staring into her eyes, wet with tears. They were so beautiful. Scootaloo couldn't help doing what she did next. "Sorry, Silver Spoon" "What?" Silver Spoon's question was answered when Scootaloo brought her muzzle to her's, locking in a kiss. Silver Spoon's eyes went big. Scootaloo was kissing her. She couldn't believe it. However, she didn't pull away. She didn't want to. The kiss felt so good, and made her feel warm and bubbly inside. Silver Spoon wanted to take the kiss further. She opened her mouth and put her tongue on Scootaloo's lips, hoping she would get the message. Scootaloo smiled and opened her mouth, allowing Silver Spoon's tongue to enter. The two continued their massive tongue kiss for about two minutes before they both pulled away. The two locked in a hug. "Scootaloo, please don't let go!", Silver Spoon said in a desperate voice. "I'm not going to. I would chop off my wings before I let you go. I love you, Silver Spoon!!" The two sat there, hugging. They loved each other. They didn't want to let go of each other. Both Scootaloo and Silver Spoon felt each other's love for each other, making them feel warm and bubbly inside. After about ten minutes, they finally ended the hug. Both gave each other a kiss on each other's muzzle. "I love you, Scootaloo", Silver Spoon said. "I love you too, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said. "OK, lets get some sleep." "Yeah." The two fillies got in the bed and covered themselves up. Then, they cuddled together. "Goodnight, Scootaloo. I love you." "Goodnight, Silver Spoon. I love you too." They two love-fillies fell asleep with smiles on their faces. //-------------------------------------------------------// Sleepover at Silver Spoon's(Day Two) //-------------------------------------------------------// Sleepover at Silver Spoon's(Day Two) Silver Spoon woke up when Celestia's sun hit her face. She slowly got out of the bed and checked her diaper. Sure enough, she was wet. After changing into a fresh diaper and putting her pajamas and glasses back on, she went down to the kitchen. There were chocolate chip pancakes and hay bacon on the stove, and a note on the refrigerator. She went over to the refrigerator and picked up the note. Dear, Silver Spoon and Scootaloo, I had to work today, so I made you two some breakfast(Orange juice is in the fridge). Also, Scootaloo, I've been contacted by your sister. She said she had to go to Canterlot for the day, so you will be staying with me and Silver Spoon for one more day. I'll be back at 6:30 this afternoon. You two may help yourselves to anything in the fridge and go into the front or back yard to play. Please do not leave the house. Be responsible, Golden Spoon Silver Spoon smiled. Scootaloo was going to stay another day. It was a good thing too. She was already disappointed that Scootaloo had to leave for the day, but now, she was happy. Silver Spoon made two plates, one for Scootaloo and one for herself. Then she made two tall glasses of orange juice. She put the plates and glasses on the table. Silver Spoon didn't want to eat her breakfast alone, so she decided to go wake Scootaloo up. She walked upstairs and approached Scootaloo, who was sleeping peacefully. "Scoots?" Scootaloo didn't answer. Silver Spoon gave Scootaloo a small nuzzle on her cheek. Scootaloo yawned, rubbed her eyes, and looked up at Silver Spoon. "Silver Spoon?" "Yeah, Scoots. Wake up. Time for breakfast." Silver Spoon prodded the front of Scootaloo's pajamas. "Wow, you're not wet. I was" "OK." "Oh, and Mom left a note. She had to work today, so you and I are alone right now. Also, she said Rainbow Dash had to go to Canterlot for the day. So you are staying another night with me." "Really? Cool! I get to stay with my fillyfriend again," "Yeah. So do- Wait, did you just call me your fillyfriend?" Silver Spoon was a little taken by this. "Y-yeah. Is that bad?" "No. It just surprised me a little. You really think of me that way?" "Yes" Scootaloo kissed Silver Spoon's cheek. "I love you" Silver Spoon had a deep blush on her face. "I love you too", she said, licking Scootaloo's cheek. The two then locked in another hug. "OK", Silver Spoon said, letting go of Scootaloo, "Breakfast is on the table. Let's go eat before it gets cold." Scootaloo nodded and the two fillies went down to the kitchen. Silver Spoon seated Scootaloo and then sat right next to her.  The two began to eat and talk. The only thing they could talk about right now is how much they loved each other or how good they looked. "Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said, "We are going to keep this to ourselves, right?" "Of course" Silver Spoon said, "My mom would kill us if she found out we kissed. And I don't even want to say what could happen if Diamond Tiara found out" "What about the other Crusaders?" "Well, if we did tell them... I don't know. I don't think they would mind. Have they ever temporarily ended your friendship because you told them an embarrassing secret?" "No. I told them my secret about my 'nighttime problems', but they didn't care" "OK" "We have been friends for over 2 years, so no matter how embarrassing a secret we tell each other is, we will always be Cutie Mark Crusaders, that is until we get our cutie marks. But we will still be friends." "Wow. Your friendship is really that strong, like Twilight and her friends" "Yes, very strong. And now with you in our friendship, it has gotten stronger." Silver Spoon hugged Scootaloo. "Thank you, Scoots" Scootaloo smiled and returned the hug. "No problem, Silver Spoon. That's what fillyfriends are for" The two continued the hug. That is, until Silver Spoon heard a muffled hissing noise. Silver Spoon broke the hug. "Umm... Scoots. Are you... peeing?" Scootaloo blushed lightly. "Yeah. Sorry. I had to go, but I didn't want to let go, so I just decided to use my diaper instead". Silver Spoon chuckled. "Could you have at least warned me first?" "Too late. I'm already done" The hissing noise stopped at that point and Scootaloo gave a sigh of relief. "Feel better?" "Yep" Another hissing noise began, this one louder. Scootaloo looked at Silver Spoon, who was blushing lightly. "Looks like I'm not the only one who had to go. It sounds like you had to go more than I did." "Yeah. Really needed to go." The hissing noise started to get quieter and soon stopped. Silver Spoon sighed in relief. "That felt good. Really good" "So, do you want a change?" "You wanna change me?" "Why not? We're fillyfriends. I'll change you, and you can change me if you want." "OK. I don't mind. As soon as I finish my breakfast, I'll change you.' "OK" The two finished their breakfast and went back up to Silver Spoon's room. The two changed each other into fresh diapers and threw their wet diapers in the trash. Then they put their pajamas back on. "So", Scootaloo said, "what do you want to do?" "I was thinking we could go outside in my front yard and play some hide and seek", Silver Spoon said, "How about you?" "I don't mind. I should get some exercise anyway. Sure!" "OK. Should we remove our pajamas and... protection first?" "Well, it's not very hot outside. I'll be OK." "I'm sure I'll be OK, too." "Alright, lets go!" The two fillies went into Silver Spoon's front yard in nothing but their diapers and pajamas. Scootaloo was right, it wasn't hot at all. The sun was shining high and bright in the sky and a soft breeze of cold wind blew through their manes. "You weren't foaling, Scootaloo", Silver Spoon said, "It feels good out here" "Yep", Scootaloo said, "So, should we get started with our game?" "Sure. Can I hide first?" "Go ahead. I'll count to thirty and then try to find you." "OK". Silver Spoon ran to hide while Scootaloo started to count. "... twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty! Ready or not here I come!" Scootaloo ran to find Silver Spoon. "Were could she be?" Scootaloo searched in the bush, but found nothing. She kept looking and soon found Silver Spoon in the shed. "Found ya!" "Took ya a while!" Silver Spoon said. Both fillies giggled. "OK, you hide now!" Meanwhile... Diamond Tiara was walking around Ponyville trying to enjoy her Saturday like a normal pony. However, she couldn't. The Crusaders and Silver Spoon's friendship kept invading her mind. At this time, if they were still together, they would be at Sugarcube Corner, chatting away at each other about random things. But now, thanks to that note, that wasn't going to happen. Diamond Tiara walked past Silver Spoon's house with a disgusted look on her face. However, she heard what sounded like counting. She instantly dove into the bush by the gate that protects Silver Spoons house. She peeked out and continued to look. She saw Silver Spoon, in her pajamas, counting out loud. "Ready or not, here I come!", Silver Spoon said and then ran off. Diamond Tiara raised her eyebrow. What was Silver Spoon doing? However, she then saw Scootaloo also in her pajamas, run past her view. Diamond Tiara put two and two together. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were having a sleepover. Diamond Tiara had gotten steamed and was about to run into the front and fight the two, but then Silver Spoon and Scootaloo ran into each other. Silver Spoon shook her head and looked at Scootaloo."Found ya!" The two fillies giggled. Diamond Tiara was getting suspicious. The two seemed awfully close. What she saw next almost made her faint. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon kissed each other. Diamond Tiara watched in horror as the two continued their kiss. They weren't just friends, they were fillyfriends. The two ended the kiss and went back into the house. Diamond Tiara ran off, trying desperately to shake the image she just saw out of her head. 6:30 PM Golden Spoon walked into her house and placed her saddlebag on the couch. She gave a sigh of relief. She loved getting home from a long day of work. "Better go check on the fillies", she whispered to herself. She walked up to Silver Spoon's room. The door was wide open and Golden Spoon looked inside. She saw a sight she was very unexpected to see. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were kissing. Golden Spoon smiled. She could tell Silver Spoon was happy. Scooaloo and Silver Spoon ended the kiss and saw Golden Spoon in the doorway. Both of their pupils shrank to the size of a needle. "MOM!", Silver Spoon said. "I can explain!" "Don't sweetie", Golden Spoon said, walking into the room and sitting next to the two fillies. "You love her?" "Y-yes. Scootaloo is my fillyfriend. I love her!" Scootaloo hugged Silver Spoon. "I love her too.", she said. Golden Spoon smiled. "So, you two are special someponies?" "Yes", they both said at the same time. The two were about to kiss again, but stopped and looked at Golden Spoon. "Go ahead", she said. The two smiled and kissed each other for a long time. "That's adorable. So, is there anything you want for your 'romantic' dinner?", Golden Spoon said, putting emphasis on the word "romantic". The two pulled away. "How about some hay steak? That would be good", Silver Spoon said, "What you do think, Scoots?" "Sure. I was craving some.", Scootaloo said, smiling. "OK, you two", Golden Spoon said, with a smile, "I'll be in the kitchen, making the hay steak. You two can stay up here, or you may go downstairs. Your choice." Golden Spoon went downstairs into the kitchen. "Wanna play some more Pac-Mare?", Silver Spoon asked. "Sure", Scootaloo said. Silver Spoon turned her XBUCK ONE on and the two started to play Pac-Mare. After about an hour of playtime, they heard Golden Spoon call them. "Scootaloo, Silver Spoon. Dinner time!" Silver Spoon turned off the game and the two went into the kitchen and sat right next to each other at the table. Golden Spoon gave Silver Spoon and Scootaloo a plate that contained a big hay steak and a big pile of hay fries. Golden Spoon made herself a plate and sat across from the fillies. "So", she said, taking a bite of her hay steak, "I'm very surprised at your new relationship, but it's very cute." "Thanks", Silver Spoon said, "Scoots and I love each other, very much" "I can see that, sweetie. So, I take it you have told Scootaloo about you nighttime problem?" "Yes, she has", Scootaloo said, "But I don't mind, because I have the same problem. But mine is different than her's." "What do you mean, Scoots?", Silver Spoon said. "I can't control my bladder well. I will wet myself if I am hurt, scared, or have a nightmare. I've been this way ever since... that day" "What day?", Silver Spoon asked. "Umm... nothing" Scootaloo tried to hide her face. Silver Spoon hugged Scootaloo. "Please tell me" Scootaloo started to cry and told the Spoons her history. Everything. She let out everything. From her father's death, to the last time she saw her mother. After finishing the story, Scootaloo was completely heartbroken and began to cry into Silver Spoon's coat. Both Golden Spoon and Silver Spoon hugged Scootaloo, feeling extremely sorry for her. Golden Spoon began to speak. "It's OK, sweetie. I know you must be feeling terrible about this. But now, you have all you could want. You have friends, a special somepony, and a sister that heavily cares about you. I'm sure your father would be proud of you. Also, I know your mother. She used to bully me, but then, I stood up her, and won" "Really?" "Yes. But now, she got what she deserved." "Yeah, Scoots", Silver Spoon said, giving Scootaloo a warm nuzzle on her cheek, "and remember: you can tell me, the Crusaders, Rainbow Dash and her friends, or my mom anything. We all care about you." Scootaloo nuzzled Silver Spoon, then nuzzled Golden Spoon. "Thank you", she said. However, a loud hissing noise began to emanate. Scootaloo felt a warmth down by her private area. She knew exactly what it was. Both Spoons heard the hissing noise as it stopped. "Scootaloo", Golden Spoon asked, "did you have an accident?" "Y-yes. I got scared when I was telling the story" Scootaloo tried to hide her face, but then another hissing noise began to emanate. The hissing noise was coming from Silver Spoon. "Silver Spoon, are you peeing?" "Yes. I figured if I wet my diaper, it would make you feel better. Did it?" Scootaloo chuckled lightly. "Yes, it did" Scootaloo hugged the still-peeing filly. The hissing noise soon stopped. "You two are so adorable together", Golden Spoon said. "OK, let's finish our dinner and then I'll get you two changed" "OK." They soon finished their dinner and Golden Spoon changed the two fillies into fresh diapers. 12:00 AM Golden Spoon had went to bed and the fillies stayed up, playing Pac-Mare and having pillow fights. Now, the two were exhausted and decided to go to bed. Both fillies yawned and got into the bed. They cuddled together. "Goodnight, Scootaloo. I love you." Silver Spoon kissed Scootaloo's cheek. "Goodnight, Silver Spoon. I love you too." Scootaloo kissed Silver Spoon's cheek. The two fillies fell asleep with smiles on their faces. //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo's Flight Session(Part One) //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo's Flight Session(Part One) The next day, 6:00 AM "Scootaloo?" Scooaloo squirmed and woke up. She saw Rainbow Dash standing next to her. "Rainbow Dash?" "Yeah, Squirt. Come on, time to go home. I've got a surprise for you." Rainbow Dash took Scootaloo and carried her in her hooves and began to take off, leaving a note for the Spoons for when they woke up to let them know that she came to pick Scootaloo up. She took off for her cloud house. Three hours later... Scootaloo woke up for a second time, this time in her own bed. She sat up and stretched, feeling something warm and wet on her flank. After removing her wet diaper, throwing it in the trash and cleaning herself, she walked down to the kitchen, only to receive a kick in the muzzle by the aroma of her favorite breakfast. Rainbow Dash was at the table, asleep, with her face in her pancakes. "Rainbow Dash?" Rainbow Dash stirred and woke up. Scootaloo laughed when she saw an excess pancake stuck to her face. Rainbow Dash peeled the pancake off of her face and looked at Scootaloo. "Hey, Scoots. What's up?" "Nothing. Can I get some breakfast?" "Sure. Get some and then sit down. I wanna talk to you. Got a little surprise for ya" Scootaloo got her breakfast, sat down, and started to eat. "Squirt, I went to Canterlot yesterday because I was requested by the princesses. Next weekend, they want me and you to come for dinner." "Really? Cool!" "Yeah, also, I want to do something you have begged me to do for a long time. I'm going to teach you how to fly." Scootaloo spit out a big mouthful of apple juice for an unusual amount of time. "You are?!" "Yes, Squirt. During the doctor's appointment, Nurse Redheart told me that your wings have made a very well improvement due to a change in your eating habits. I'm going to teach you how to fly!" Scootaloo ran over to Rainbow Dash and hugged her tight. "Thank You, Rainbow Dash!!" "No problem, Squirt. Anyway, I heard about your relationship with Silver Spoon." Scootaloo's smile dropped to a scared frown. "What?!" "Yep." "Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry!" Scootaloo began to cry into Rainbow's coat. "Scoots. Don't cry. I'm not mad at you, I'm happy for you. This is what you and Silver Spoon wanted. I'm not mad or anything" "*sniffle* Really?" "Yeah. In fact, I think it's kinda cu... ca... c-c-c-c cute!", Rainbow said, having trouble saying an "uncool" word. "Thanks, Rainbow Dash." "No problem, Squirt. So, finish your breakfast, then go get ready. We'll get started with your training outside at ground level once you're ready". "OK, Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo finished her breakfast and joined Rainbow Dash. The two went up down to the ground and started the session. "OK, Squirt. The way you take off is to start with this position." Rainbow extended her wings so that they pointed into the air. She then bent over and got into a position similar to a "down" push-up. "Try it" Scootaloo nodded and tried the position the best she could. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. "Like this?" "Yeah. Now, you have to push off of the ground to lift, while at the same time, flapping your wings." Rainbow Dash did so. "You try" Scootaloo took a deep breath and tried to do the same. She was able to stay in the air for about two seconds before falling back down. She tried again, only getting the same result. "OK, Scoots. You are able to lift for about two seconds. Don't worry, you will get better. So, let me see your wing." Rainbow Dash checked Scootaloo's wing and then the other. "Alright. Your wings are about three inches taller, so you are capable of flying." "Rainbow Dash" "Yeah?" "Will I be able to fly?" "You are capable of flying, so you may learn to fly." "I hope so" Scootaloo had a sad look on her face. Rainbow Dash knelt down to Scootaloo's level and placed a comforting hoof on Scootaloo's shoulder. "It's OK, Scoots. You're probably just having a few problems since this is your first time learning to fly. Wanna try again?" Scootaloo nodded. Scootaloo pushed against the ground, flapping her wings and lifted. This time, however, she didn't fall back down. She was hovering about two hooves off the ground. Scootaloo was shocked, she was actually hovering. "Rainbow Dash, I'm flying!" "Well, hovering, but cool! Can you go higher?"" "Umm... I'll try" Scootaloo flapped her wings harder, lifting higher into the air. She was now about six hooves off the ground, and level to the front door or Rainbow's cloud house. Scootaloo was very excited. She was close to learning to fly. Rainbow Dash flew up to her level to encourage her. "Good job, Scoots! You doing good! Can you go any higher?" "Yes!" Scootaloo flapped her wings as hard as she could, lifting higher into the air. Now at ten hooves above the ground, Scootaloo looked down. She was so high up. This was a very new feeling. The wind blew through Scootaloo's mane, making Scootaloo feel so good. Rainbow Dash flew up to Scootaloo's level. "How does it feel, Scoots?" "It feels so good, Rainbow Dash!!!!!!! Now I see why you love to fly!!!!" "OK, Scoots, let's get back down to the ground! Don't want you to get too tired!" "OK, Rainbow Dash!" The two slowly lowered back down to the ground and shook off any water from the clouds they picked up. "Great job, Scoots!! You can hover!!! This means that you are very close to flying!!!" "Cool!!!! I can't wait to show my friends tomorrow at school!!!" "Yeah". A loud rumble came from both of their stomachs. "How about we go to Sugarcube Corner and get some treats? I could really go for an apple pie with chocolate ice cream" "Me too! Let's go!!" Scootaloo hopped on Rainbow's back and the two went off to Sugarcube Corner. The two made it to Sugarcube Corner and entered. Luckily, they arrived after-hours, so it was just them and Pinkie Pie, who was stuffing her face with cotton candy that was in the refrigerator. Pinkie looked up from her cotton candy at Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. "Hi, Rainbow Dash. Hi, Scootaloo", she said, "what's up?" "Hey, Pinkie", Rainbow Dash said, "just wondering if Scootaloo and I could order some stuff." "Sure. But you don't have to pay. On the house!" "Cool! Thanks, Pinkie!" "You're welcome, Dashie! So, what would you like?" "Scoots and I each want an apple pie with chocolate ice cream on top." "Yep", Scootaloo said. "OK, would you like a milkshake with that?", Pinkie asked. "Sure.", Rainbow said, "Vanilla, please" "Chocolate for me!", Scootaloo said. "Okie Dokey Lokie! Be out in a few minutes!" Pinkie went into the kitchen to make the orders while Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo sat at a table and waited patiently. "Hey, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said. "Yes?", Scootaloo said. "I'm very proud of you, Scoots. You have mastered hovering, and now you are close to flying." "Thanks, Rainbow Dash!" "No problem, Squirt" A few minutes later, the oven dinged and Pinkie came back with two apple pies topped with chocolate ice cream, and two milkshakes, one chocolate and one vanilla. "Here ya go!", she said. "Thanks, Pinks", Rainbow said, then shoved her whole face into the pie. Scootloo giggled and then started to eat her own pie. Pinkie Pie left and then returned with some cotton candy and a strawberry milkshake for herself. She sat down next to Scootaloo and began to eat her cotton candy. "Hey, Scootaloo", Pinkie said. "Yes, Pinkie?" "Congratulations on your new relationship with Silver Spoon!" "You know, too?" "Yep-yep-yep! Rainbow Dash told me. You must really love her!" "Yes, I love her with all my heart". "Again, congratulations." Pinkie dove back into her cotton candy and Scootaloo went back to her own food. Scootaloo smiled. Her life was getting better and better ever since she was separated from Light Cloud. Scootaloo looked at Rainbow Dash, who was still stuffing her face. "Thank you, Rainbow Dash, for everything", she mumbled under her breath. She looked up at the sky. "And thank you too, Daddy. I love you" She could hear a soft voice reply to her sentence. "I love you too, Scootasweetie" //-------------------------------------------------------// Exposed Relationship //-------------------------------------------------------// Exposed Relationship The next day @ 7:30 AM... Rainbow Dash dropped Scootaloo off at school. After saying goodbye, Scootaloo was greeted by her fellow Crusaders. "Hi, Scootaloo", they both said at the same time. "Hey Applebloom. Hey, Sweetie Belle", Scootaloo said with a smile. "Congratulations, Scootaloo!", Sweetie Belle said. "Yeah, ya know, on your new relationship with Silver Spoon", Applebloom said. "Thanks. Let me guess, your older sisters told you." "Yep", they both said. "You two don't think this is gross or bad?" "No, Scoots", Applebloom said with a smile, "We're happy for you! You must be very happy!" "I am. So, let's go in before we are tardy." The other two nodded and went into the building. Silver Spoon was already there and was in the group. The Crusaders all sat down in their group. "Hey Applebloom. Hey Sweetie Belle... Hi Scootaloo", Silver Spoon said, trying not to blush when she said Scootaloo's name. "Hey Silver Spoon", the Crusaders all said ad lib. "Congratulations, Silver Spoon!", Sweetie Belle said, "You and Scootaloo make a good couple" "You know already?", Silver Spoon said. "Yeah. Our sisters told us.", Applebloom said. "You aren't mad or or feeling awkward about this?" "No, Silver Spoon", Sweetie Belle said with a smile. "Thanks for not flipping out. I didn't know if I should tell you, but now, I know the answer." "Yeah", Scootaloo said, hugging Silver Spoon. They looked into each other's eyes and was about to kiss when Cherilee walked in. "Alright, my little ponies. Please take your seats." The class sat down and silenced. "OK, I will return the tests you took from Thursday to you". "Ms. Cherilee", Diamond Tiara called from the back of the room, "may I please pass them out?" "Yes, you may" Diamond Tiara went up to the front and started to hoof the papers to their owners. Eventually, the only ones left were the Crusaders and Silver Spoon's papers. Diamond Tiara walked past them and threw their papers on the floor next to the table they sit at. Silver Spoon rolled her eyes and picked the papers up off the floor. She gave Applebloom her's, Sweetie Belle her's, and Scootaloo her's. Scootaloo was happy. She got her first A+ on a Multiplication and Division test. "Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said to her fillyfriend. "Yes, Scootaloo?" "I passed! Your help has helped me pass" "That's great. I told you!" "OK, everypony", Cherilee said, sitting at her desk, "Would any pony like to share what they did over the weekend?" "I would!", Scootaloo said, "I learned how to hover off of the ground!" "That's wonderful, Scootaloo", Cherilee said, "Would you mind showing us?" "Not at all!" Scootaloo went up to the front of the room, got into her position, and pushed off of the ground. She hovered enough to touch the ceiling. Everypony in the building, except Diamond Tiara, clapped and cheered loudly. "That is awesome, Scootaloo", Snips said from the back of the room. "Can you fly around this room?", Snails asked. "No. All I can do is hover right now. Rainbow Dash is going to teach me how to fly when I get home today." "I wanna see you fly!", Peppermint Twist said with enthusiasm. "Well, tomorrow, if Ms. Cherilee allows me, I'll fly in front of everypony tomorrow!" "That would be amazing, Scootaloo", Cherilee said. "OK, please take your seat, Scootaloo". "Yes, ma'am" Scootaloo lowered back into her seat. "OK, any pony else want to share?" "I do!", Diamond Tiara piped from the back of the room. "OK, Diamond Tiara. You may." Diamond Tiara walked up to the front of the room. On her way, she walked by Scootaloo and Silver Spoon, giving them an evil grin. Diamond Tiara took a deep breath and began to speak. "What I did over the weekend was saw the most disgusting thing I've ever saw! I saw Scootaloo and Silver Spoon kiss. They're fillyfriends!" Both Scootaloo and Silver Spoon got embarrassed and crawled under their table to hide. "That's it!", Cherilee said with a stern voice, "I've had it with your false tattling!" "I'm not lying, Ms. Cherilee. They really are!" Cherilee looked at the two fillies underneath the table. "Silver Spoon, Scootaloo. Is this true?" Both of the fillies stood up and looked at Ms. Cherilee. "Yes, it's true", Scootaloo said. "We love each other", Silver Spoon said. They hugged to prove this answer, and then braced themselves for the teasing to start. However, what they thought would happen didn't. The class started cheering and clapping their hooves. Even Cherilee started clapping. "Right on, you two!", Featherweight called. "Yeah!", Pipsqueak added. "Awesome", Teacher's Pet said. Scootaloo, Silver Spoon, and Diamond Tiara stood there with their mouths agape. "You don't think this is weird?", Scootaloo said to the class. "No", Peppermint Twist said, "We are happy for you!" Both Scootaloo and Silver Spoon hugged again. Then, Snips and Snails started chanting. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!..." Then Pipsqueak and Featherweight joined in. Next was Twist and Teacher's Pet, then Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. Now, the whole class(except Diamond Tiara)was chanting "kiss". The two fillies look at Cherilee for approval. Cherilee nodded. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon looked each other in the eyes and kissed. The whole class started to go berserk and cheered louder. Diamond Tiara got steamed and ran out of the schoolhouse. While the two fillies kissed, the president of the "Foal Free Press", Featherweight, took a picture of the two kissing fillies. "Looks like I got a new topic to post", he said to himself. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon continued their kiss for two minutes and then finally ended it. "That was great, you two!", Cherilee said with a smile, "Congratulations, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon on your new relationship!" "Thanks, Ms. Cherilee!", they both said at the same time. 12:00 PM The lunch bell rang and the class ran out to the playground to eat. However, some weren't eating. They were reading the school newspaper. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon took notice of this and grabbed a copy. They looked at the front page. There was a big picture, in color, of the two fillies kissing. The two started to read, starting with the title. A Very "Lovely" Moment Between Two Fillies. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon, two students of Ms. Cherilee's Class, have formed a relationship. The two fillyfriends have proven this by kissing each other in front of the class. Congratulations to the two fillyfriends and have a good relationship. By, the president of the "Foal Free Press", Featherweight. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon smiled and kissed each other again. At first, it was just love, but now, it's immortal love. 3:00 PM Rainbow Dash came to the schoolhouse to pick up Scootaloo. "Hey, Squirt. Ready to go home?" "Yeah!" "OK. So, how was school?" "Fine...Very fine!" Scootaloo had a small grin on her face. "OK, let's go home. You want to learn how to fly, right?" Scootaloo nodded. "OK, let's go" Scootaloo hopped onto Rainbow's back and the two went back to Rainbow's cloud house... //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo's Flight Session(Part Two) //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo's Flight Session(Part Two) Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash finally reached their cloud house. Scootaloo was very excited at this point. "So", she said, "When can we start?" "After dinner, Squirt", Rainbow Dash replied, "Trust me, you don't want to fly on an empty stomach. What do you want for dinner?" "Could we get some pizza? I'm craving some hay-bacon pizza." "You read my mind, Scoots. That's exactly what I'm thinking. But wait for a while. I need a nap" Scootaloo yawned loudly. "And so do you". The two sisters went into the house and settled on the cloud couch. Rainbow Dash laid down on the couch and Scootaloo laid down on Rainbow's back. The two instantly fell asleep. Two hours later... Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo started to wake up. With a loud yawn, the two sat up. "Hey, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said, rubbing her eyes, "Sleep good?" "Yep", Rainbow Dash said, stretching her front legs, "I always do". Their stomachs both rumbled. "OK, I'm gonna go to the pizzeria to get the pizza. Wanna come with me?" "Did you really have to ask?" "No, I didn't. Just yanking you chain." Scootaloo hopped onto Rainbow's back and the to went to the pizzeria. About thirty minutes later, the two sisters were at the table, enjoying some hay-bacon pizza and Dr. Salt soda, and talking about random things. Scootaloo was telling Rainbow Dash about her day at school. "Whoa!", Rainbow Dash said, "You two actually kissed in front of the class?" "Yeah", Scootaloo said, sipping her soda, "Didn't you read the paper?" "No, but Derpy gave me one. Let me go get it." Rainbow Dash went into the living room, got the newspaper and went back into the table. She read the front page and then put the paper down. "Wow. That's awesome." "Yep" "So, Squirt. Are you ready to start? I am." "Yeah!" The two went down to ground level to start the session. "OK, Squirt. Now, you have mastered hovering, so this will be easy for you. What you have to do when you are in the air is to keep your whole body straight and flap your wings into the direction you want to go" Rainbow Dash flew in a few circles to demonstrate. "See? You try" Scootaloo hovered and straightened her body. She then flapped her wings. However, she was only able to move about a centimeter, then fell back down. She tried again, moving about an inch, then falling back down. "I'm so close to flying, but I can't move well." "Don't worry, Squirt. The first time is the hardest. It might take about a week for your body to get used to flying. You are moving about an inch every time, so you are getting closer. OK, try again." Scootaloo hovered again, straightened her body and flapped her wings. This time, she was flying in her direction. Scootaloo got shocked. "Rainbow Dash, I'm flying!" Scootaloo zipped past Rainbow Dash. "Awesome, Scoots! Go higher!!" Scootaloo hovered higher and started to fly. Rainbow Dash flew up to Scootaloo's level. "Rainbow Dash, this is so awesome!!!" "I know, Scoots! Let's see how fast you can fly. I'm going to chase you and you fly away, OK?" Scootaloo nodded and took off. Rainbow Dash chased Scootaloo. Scootaloo did well getting away from Rainbow Dash. She eventually got tired and Rainbow Dash tackled Scootaloo onto a cloud. Both sisters giggled, then yawned. "Rainbow Dash, I'm sleepy" "So am I, Scoots. Let's go get some sleep" The two flew back to the cloud house and went to Rainbow's room. After Scootaloo got her protection and pajamas on, the two got into the bed and cuddled. The two instantly fell sleep. Scootaloo was in the room again. This time, she didn't see her mother, nor did she see Rainbow Dash. "Scootasweetie?", a voice called from behind. Scootaloo looked behind her to see Dark Cloud, sitting on a couch. "Daddy!" Scootaloo ran over to Dark and sat in his lap, snuggling into his chest. "Yes, yes. I love you too." "So, I'm asleep again?" "Yes. So, it's good to see you again. It's been a while" "Yeah. It has" "Congratulations on your new relationship. You must be really happy about that." "Thanks, and yes, I'm extremely happy about that. Silver Spoon is so beautiful and friendly." "My little filly is growing up so fast" Dark Cloud gave Scootaloo a kiss on her muzzle, making Scootaloo giggle like a foal. "Daddy~! I may be growing up, but no matter how old I get or what I do, I'll always be Daddy's little filly!" Scootaloo nuzzled her father's cheek and the two hugged. "I know, Scootasweetie. You will never outgrow my love, will you?" "No I won't" "Good. So, you can fly now?" "Yeah! Rainbow Dash showed me how to. I've always wanted to fly and now I can!" "That's great, Scootasweetie. You know, your life has really turned around ever since that bi- that idiot, Light Cloud was separated from you. I'm sure you've noticed." "I have. Everything has gotten better. I have a good home, friends, a beautiful fillyfriend, and a very awesome sister. And, I have you too. I wouldn't be living if it weren't for you. You are the most important pony in my life. I love you, Daddy" Scootaloo hugged Dark Cloud and buried her face in his coat. "I love you too, Scootasweetie. Now, I'm starting to fade. You're about to wake up. There's the door over there." Dark Cloud kissed Scootaloo on her muzzle again and walked her over to the door. Right before he faded, he said one more thing. "I love you, Scootasweetie." "I love you too, Daddy" Scootaloo walked through the door and woke up. //-------------------------------------------------------// Royal Dinner //-------------------------------------------------------// Royal Dinner Things have really gotten excellent for Scootaloo in the past week. She has mastered flying, has gotten a fillyfriend, and has impressed her class, friends, and teacher with her flying. Today was Saturday and the day of the royal dinner with Celestia, Luna, and Cadence. Scootaloo was in her room getting ready. She was very nervous. She has had dinner with guests and has been to dinner as the guest, but with royalty? THREE of them? It made her flat out nervous. "Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "Are you ready?" "Yeah, Rainbow Dash" The two sisters left the cloud house and flew to the castle in Canterlot. Meanwhile at the castle... Light Cloud sat on the cement block that consisted of her bed. She was steamed, sad, and lonely. She was also embarrassed that she was the only one in the dungeon. This was going to be the rest of her life. Celestia and Luna went down to the dungeon and confronted Light. "Light Cloud", Celestia said, "Your daughter and her sister are coming over for dinner tonight." "We will also be allowing her to come see you down here", Luna said, "You are not allowed to touch her or yell at her. There will be serious consequences of you do" "Them?", Light Cloud said, "Those two?! You're allowing them to come down here and disturb me after what they did to me?!! I WILL NOT LET THEM IN HERE!!!!!" Light Cloud swung at Celestia, clonking her in her muzzle, and making Celestia scream in pain. Luna grabbed Light's neck in her magic. She looked at Light with pure anger and red eyes, making Light get so scared, she wet herself. "IF THOU DO NOT WISH TO BE EXECUTED TONIGHT", she said in the Royal Canterlot voice, "THOU SHALL NOT ASSAULT OUR SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!" Luna was extremely ticked off and was starting to turn into Nightmare Moon, but Celestia used her magic to calm her down. "Calm down, Luna", she said in a calm, comforting voice, hugging her sister, "I'm okay". "Sorry, dear sister. I just can't stand to see you in pain, or assaulted" "Cloud!", Celestia said, "If you strike me or my sister again, you will be hanged!!!!!" "And", Luna said, "If you assault Scootaloo or her sister tonight, I will personally execute you. Do my sister and I make ourselves clear?" "Y-yes, Princess", Light Cloud said. "OK. Luna, the guests and Cadence will be here any minute. We should go get ready." "Yes, we should" "Mom? Auntie Celestia?", Cadence called from the second floor. "She's here", Luna said, "Let's go". Two hours later... Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash made it to Canterlot and went into the castle. One of the guards greeted them. "Hello, Miss Dash and Scootaloo", he said, "The princesses are waiting for you in the dining room. Follow me." The guard lead the two sisters into the dining room and Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo were then greeted by the three princesses. "Hello, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo", Cadence said with a warm smile. "What a pleasant surprise", Luna said. "Good of you to come", Celestia said, "Please, take a seat" Scootaloo sat down in the chair between Celestia and Luna, and Rainbow Dash sat down in the chair between Luna and Cadence. The dinner was hay-and-dandelion-soup and sweetbread, with a fancy soda. Scootaloo liked it, and so did Rainbow Dash. While eating, the mares and filly were talking among themselves. "So, Rainbow Dash", Celestia said, "How's having a little sister. She isn't too much, is she?" "Nope", Rainbow Dash said, "She is an angel". "Good. Luna has been quite a hoofful, but not so much. We had our... fall-out, but that's over now". "Yes", Luna said, nuzzling her big sister, "and we will always be together". "So, Scootaloo", Cadence said, "Has anything good happened since you got adopted" "Yes", Scootaloo said, "A lot. I've learned to fly, and I've... *gulp* gotten a fillyfriend." "Really?", Luna said, "Well, congrats." "Yes", Celestia said, "That's lovely." "Thanks". "You are welcome", Luna said, "So, Scootaloo. Your mother is in the dungeon on the third floor. Would you like to go see her after you finish eating?" "Umm... I don't know. I'm scared. What if she tries to hurt me?" "Don't worry, little filly", Celestia said, "We have restricted, or not allowed her to yell at you or attack you. If she does, she will be executed." "OK, but what if she scares me and I... have an accident?" "Maybe we could put some protection on you?", Cadence asked. "Sure" About thirty minutes later, Scootaloo got padded and the princesses lead her down to the dungeon. Light Cloud watched in disgust as she watched her daughter walk down and into her view. Scootaloo was already shaking, but got the courage to walk up to the bars. Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Rainbow Dash stood right behind her, just in case Light tried any "ideas". "Just remember, Scootaloo", Luna said, "You are protected and you have our approval to get revenge, but you may not assault, OK" "Yes, Princess" Scootaloo then turned to her mother. "Hello, Mom", Scootaloo said, "It's been a while" "Yeah", Light Cloud said, having trouble keeping still. Just seeing the two sisters in her sight just really made her want to swing. "I'm sure you're happy that you've gotten me thrown in this horrible place". "I am. And I didn't get you thrown in here, YOU did. You have no one to blame but yourself." "YOU!" Light Cloud was about to swing, but stopped herself and calmed down, because she gotten three different stares from the princesses. Scootaloo thought it would be funny to tease her. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You'll be killed." A yellow puddle started to form under Light Cloud, filling the air with a sharp smell, and soaking the concrete floor. Those stares scared her to death. One scared her, but three terrified her. Scootaloo noticed this and started to laugh. "You got scared, didn't you. Now you know how it feels. Every time you scared me, that is what happened. Remember how you made me clean the last one up? Do it!" "No! You can't make me do it!" "Yes she can!", Rainbow Dash said, "She has permission to do it. You have to!" Light Cloud growled and began to lick it up, fighting the taste and smell of her urine. Scootaloo kept laughing as she continued. After the puddle was gone, Light Cloud vomited onto the floor. "OK, you don't have to clean that up", Scootaloo said, "I'll throw up too. Anyway, things have gotten a lot better for me ever since I was separated from you. I've learned to fly and gotten a fillyfriend. Her name is Silver Spoon." "You mean Golden Spoon's daughter?" "Yes. And I know why you asked. You used to bully her, didn't you?" "Yes, I did. Then she beat me to death." "She was just standing up to you, something a bully should always remember to look out for." "I was going to stop, that's when she beat me." "Did you even try to apologize?" "No. She didn't let me" "You know what? I'm done. You're acting like an idiot. I don't want to talk anymore." She turned to the princesses. "Can we leave now?" "Sure", Celestia said. The ponies went back up to the second floor. "So, do you want to stay longer, or do you want to leave now?" "Can me and Rainbow Dash stay here tonight?" "Sure, as long as Rainbow Dash allows it" "I don't mind", Rainbow Dash said, "I've always wanted to stay here anyway. Sure." "OK", Celestia said, "You may use Twilight's old bedchamber." "Thanks, Princess" "You're welcome, Scootaloo. So, follow me to the room" Two hours later... Scootaloo was in the bedchamber, reading several comic books that were leftover from Twilight when she was living there. Rainbow Dash was in the same bedchamber, reading some Daring Do books. After about another two hours of reading, they finally decided to call it a night. They got into the bed and cuddled together. "Goodnight, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said, "I love you" "Goodnight, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "I love you, too" The two fell asleep instantly. //-------------------------------------------------------// A Very Fun Day in the Castle //-------------------------------------------------------// A Very Fun Day in the Castle The next day started off pretty well. The princesses and guests all had fun together. They all had a good breakfast together, sat on the balcony and enjoyed the beautiful Canterlot view together, and played Luna's PS4 (Ponystation 4) together. But after a few hours, Cadence had to return to the Crystal Empire. Today was her honeymoon. After she left, it was time for dinner. It wasn't as fancy as it was the night before. It was daffodil-and-daisy sandwiches with hay fries and soda. Everypony was very chatty while they ate. "So, Scootaloo", Celestia said, "I take it you like it in the castle" "Yeah", Scootaloo said, "Too bad we have to leave today" "Well", Luna said, "Would you like to stay for another night?" "Yeah!! Rainbow Dash?" "Sure, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "I kinda enjoy staying here, too" "Great!", Luna said, "So it looks like 'Operation Fun Day' will commence today". "Operation Fun Day?", Scootaloo said. Both Celestia and Luna smiled. "Well", Celestia said, "Luna and I figured you two would want to stay again, so we have arranged two surprise activities that we're sure you would love". Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo nearly fainted. "Whoa! Really?!", they both said. "Would I tell a lie?", Celestia said. Luna chuckled. "Well, you-" "Be quiet, Luna!" "OK, OK!" Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash both laughed. "Anyway", Celestia said, "Yes. Really". "Cool!", Rainbow Dash said, "So what are the activities?" "Cannot tell you", Luna said, "They are surprise events. They must be unknown to you and your sister until you see them" "Yes, Princess", Rainbow Dash said. "So", Scootaloo said with enthusiasm, "When are we going to start the activities?" "After dinner, Scootaloo", Celestia said. 30 minutes later... Celestia, Luna, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo finished their dinner and got ready for the events. "So", Celestia said, "since Scootaloo can fly, we'll be flying to each activity. Just follow me and Luna". Celestia opened the window and they all flew off. As they flew, Scootaloo looked down, enjoying the wonderful view of Canterlot. She felt so alive as the cool breeze of wind blew through her mane. "Descend now", Luna said. They flew down to ground level and approached a building. "This is the first activity", Celestia said. Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash looked up and saw the name of the building. Canterlot Indoor Pool "Swimming?", Rainbow Dash said. "Yep", Luna said, "Celestia and I come here all the time". Scootaloo noticed a closed sign in the window. "But it's closed", Scootaloo said. "Not if you have the key", Celestia said. She reached into her mane and pulled out a half-eaten cookie. "The key is a cookie?", Scootaloo said. Celestia looked at the cookie and chuckled nervously. "Oops!" The others chuckled. "I was wondering where that cookie went" She reached into her mane again and pulled out the key. While Celestia unlocked the door, Scootaloo whispered to Luna, "Does she always hide food in her mane?" "Not always, but most of the time, yes. Once, when we were just fillies, she actually hid a whole bag of potato crisps in her mane". "Wow". The lock clicked and Celestia pushed the door open. "OK, let's go" The ponies walked into the building. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo followed the two alicorn sisters. While they walked,  Scootaloo noticed rule posters hanging up everywhere. "This place sure has a lot of rules" "It's Canterlot, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "Almost everything here has at least twenty rules. Don't even get me started on that restaurant I went to here". "We're here", Luna said. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo looked at the pool. One look almost made the two faint. It was a swimmer's paradise. The pool was extremely big and clean. Now they see why the alicorn sisters like going there so much. "What do you think?", Celestia said. ."So... cool...", Scootaloo said. "Yeahhhhhh...", Rainbow Dash said. Celestia and Luna chuckled lightly. "What are you waiting for?", Luna said, "You may get in". The alicorn sisters slowly climbed into the pool and sighed in relief. "Hey, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said, "Maybe we should go take a closer look". "OK" Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo appoached the pool. The next thing Rainbow Dash knew, she was shoved into the pool by Scootaloo. Scootaloo and the alicorns busted out laughing. Rainbow Dash looked up at Scootaloo with an evil grin. "Prankster, huh? You'll pay for that". "Whatever, Rainbow Dash" Scootaloo jumped into the pool yelling, "CANNONBALL!!!!" They swam for about 2 hours. "OK, I think we better get out", Celestia said, "Don't want it to get too late for our other activity". Rainbow Dash swam up to the alicorns. "Before we go", she whispered, "I need to get Scootaloo back. Watch this". She then swam over to Scootaloo. "Hey Scoots, I need to ask you something". "What's up?" "Does the water suddenly feel warmer to you?" Both Celestia and Luna got out of the pool, trying very hard not to laugh. "A little, but why?" "Look at the water". Scootaloo looked at the water. It had a small yellow fade. Scootaloo immediately realized what was happening. "EW!!!!!! UNCLEAN WATER!!!!!!!" She immediately swam to the wall and climbed out. The others laughed loudly. "Now, we're even, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, climbing out of the pool. "By the way", Luna said, "The pool automatically cleans itself". "Oh, right", Scootaloo said. "OK", Celestia said, "I think we've had enough pranks for one day. Let's go". The ponies all left the pool. Celestia locked the door to the biulding. "OK, now for the other activity. Follow us" Five minutes later... "Descend now", Luna said. They all flew to ground level. This time, they were in front of an ice cream parlor. They all walked into the parlor. "Are we here for what I think we're here for?", Scootaloo said. "Yep", Celestia said. The cashier, Fuzzy Navel, walked up to the desk. "Hello, Princess Celestia", she said, "How may I help you, today?" Celestia looked back at the others. "Any requests?" "Chocolate, please", Scootaloo said. "Vanilla for me", Rainbow Dash said. "Cookie dough, please", Luna said. "And mint chocolate chip for me", Celestia said to Fuzzy. "Right away, princess", Fuzzy said, "Be ready in a few minutes". "Thanks, Princess", Scootaloo said. "No problem, Scootaloo" "Order up", Fuzzy said. The ponies got their ice cream cones and sat down at a table. While eating, the were really chatty with each other. "So", Luna said, "I take it that you two liked the swimming?" "Yeah", Scootaloo said, "Until Rainbow Dash peed on me" "I didn't pee on you, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "I did it in the water around you. Big dif" "Yeah, yeah" "I've really enjoyed your company", Celestia said. "So have I", Luna said. "Glad to be at your service", Rainbow Dash said. "I wish we lived at the castle", Scootaloo said. "Well, Scootaloo", Celestia said, "You can visit anytime you like, as long as you have the approval of your sister", "Really? But I won't be able to get past your security". "I'll notify the guards and the night guards. You'll be OK" "Wow! Thanks, Princess!" "No problem, Scoots". They all continued to eat their ice cream. Three hours later... They all had gotten back to the castle. Luna had to go to Night Court, Celestia was in her bedchamber getting some paperwork done, and Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash were up in Twilight's old bedchamber, getting ready for bed. However, Scootaloo wanted something else. "Hey, Rainbow Dash" "Yeah, Squirt?" "Do you mind if I sleep with Princess Celestia?" "Not at all. If she lets you. Night, Scoots" "Night, Rainbow Dash". She turned off the light and closed the door. She then walked down the hall to Celestia's bedchamber. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on Celestia's door. "Enter", Celestia said. Scootaloo opened the door, seeing Celestia laying on her special rug, doing the last of her paperwork, with a bowl of chocolate chip cookies next to her. "Yes?" "Umm... Can I sleep with you, please?" Celestia smiled. "Sure you can. There's plenty of room". Scootaloo smiled, walked over to Celestia, and laid down on her rug "Help yourself to some cookies if you like" Scootaloo grabbed a few with her hoof and ate them, burping loudly. "Excuse me. Thanks, Princess". "No problem, Scootaloo". She finished her paperwork and turned off the lamp she was using. She draped one of her huge wings over Scootaloo and laid down. Scootaloo snuggled into Celestia's coat. She felt so warm, safe, and comfortable. However, she didn't think she could sleep. "Umm... Princess?" "Yes, Scootaloo?" "Can you... sing to me? My mom never sung to me". "You mean you want me to sing you lullaby?" "Y-yes, Princess". Celestia smiled and began singing "Hush Now, Quiet Now". Her voice was so soothing to Scootaloo. Scootaloo yawned and buried her face in Celestia's coat. "I love you, Mommy", she said, falling asleep. Celestia was surprised by this. She was just called "Mommy". She liked it. She cuddled Scootaloo. "I love you too, Sweetie", she said. She licked Scootaloo's cheek. After finishing the rest of the cookies, she fell asleep with a smile on her face. //-------------------------------------------------------// Light Cloud Escapes //-------------------------------------------------------// Light Cloud Escapes Meanwhile in the dungeon, 5:00 AM... Light Cloud laid on the cold, hard cement block, trying to go to sleep. However, she couldn't. Knowing that the two ponies who ruined her life were upstairs made her steamed. She wanted to get out, so she could get her revenge. However, that wasn't easy. The bars were too narrow for her to slide through. The floor was pure concrete and each bar was harder than a diamond. Light was very desperate at that point and decided to try to get out. She stood up, went to the bars, and tried to slip through. No good. Next, she tried to shake the bars to get them off. No good. She tried shaking harder. Still no good. She was angry and tried bucking the bars with her hind legs. Stupid idea. She broke her left hind leg. She ignored the pain and resumed her escape. At that point, she was willing to do everything she could. She tried to bite through the bars. And, no lie, that crazy mare actually bit through two bars, making a big enough space for her to get out. However, to add on to the broken leg, she broke every single one of her bottom teeth, leaving a huge patch of nothing but gums and blood. Her mouth was bleeding heavily and dripping onto the floor. She didn't care. All she cared about was getting her revenge. She was about to go upstairs when she heard galloping. She instantly hid. Two of Luna's Bat-Pony Night Guards, Midnight and Starlight, came in, seeing an empty cell with two broken bars. "The prisoner has escaped!", Midnight said. "We need to notify Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!", Starlight said, "Our guests are in serious dan-!" Starlight gagged, then collapsed. Midnight looked down, seeing arrow sticking out of his neck. "Starlight!" He said, before hearing a whizzing sound and an arrow pierced his neck as well, making him collapse. Light Cloud smiled. "I tried to tell them leaving my crossbow there was a bad idea", Light Cloud said, "I tried to tell them I was gonna get out". If this were a show, she would be looking at the camera. "I'm coming for you, Scootaloo!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then you, Rainbow Dash!!!!!!!!" She started limping up the stairs, trembling with excitement for her revenge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scootaloo woke up and rubbed her eyes. She looked up, seeing Celestia sitting in her mini-sofa, enjoying a cup of warm tea. "Good morning, Scootaloo", she said. Scootaloo stretched and stood up. "Morning, Princess", she said, "Umm... may I sit with you?" Celestia smiled. "You may", she said. Scootaloo smiled, walked over to Celestia, and sat down. She snuggled into Celesita's side and Celestia draped her wing around Scootaloo like a blanket. "Scootaloo, may I ask you something?" "What's up?" "I heard you call me 'Mommy' last night before you went to sleep. Did you call me that on purpose?". Scootaloo blushed lightly. "Well... I...". Scootaloo couldn't say it. She buried her face into Celestia's coat again. "Scootaloo?", Celestia said, "Are you OK? You can tell me". Tears began to run down Scootaloo's face. "Yes. I did. I'm sorry!" She began to cry into Celestia's warm and soft coat. Celestia picked Scootaloo up and held her in her hooves, like a foal. "Shh... It's OK, Sweetie. I liked it when you called me that". "*sniffle* Really?" "Yes. But why did you call me that?" "Because you treat me like I'm your daughter. You took me swimming and bought me ice cream. My mom never did that for me, not even before Daddy died. I've never called her 'Mommy', not even when I was a foal. She has never treated me like you do. I love you, Mommy!!!" Tears began to roll down Celestia's face. She pulled Scootaloo into a hug, still holding her like a foal. "I love you too, Sweetie". The two sat there, hugging. After about two minutes, Celestia wanted to do something else. "Umm... Sweetheart?". "Yes, Mommy?", Scootaloo said, using "Mommy" instead of "Princess". "Do you mind if I cradle you, like a foal?" Scootaloo shook her head. "No. I've never been cradled before. Go ahead". Celestia smiled and began to lightly cradle Scootaloo in her hooves. Scootaloo smiled. Her cradling felt so good. Celestia stopped cradling and began to lightly rub Scootaloo's stomach. Scootaloo felt like a foal, so carefree and safe. "How's this feel?", Celestia said as she continued to rub Scootaloo's stomach. "It feels good". She continued to rub Scootaloo's stomach until her alarm clock beeped. Celestia looked at her clock. "6:00. Time to raise the Sun". She looked down at Scootaloo. "Would you like to watch me raise the Sun?" Scootaloo nodded. The two went outside. Luna lowered her Moon and Celestia raised her Sun. The three ponies went back inside and were about to go to breakfast when they heard a shrill scream and then a sickening thud. They all ran to Twilight's bedchamber. Once they got there, they saw Rainbow Dash laying on the floor, her forehead bleeding heavenly. "RAINBOW DASH!!!!!!!!", Scootaloo yelled. Luna ran in and checked Rainbow's heart. Pulse. "She's still alive", she said. She levitated a few bandages from a first aid kit on the dresser. She bandaged her wound and flew her to the hospital. Both Scootaloo and Celestia were confused. Who could have done that? Next thing Celestia knew, she was struck in her head. Her horn fell off onto the floor. Celestia screamed. Somepony else was in the room. "Hello, Scootaloo", a random voice said. Both Celestia and Scootaloo turned to see Light Cloud standing about ten hooves away from them. "YOU!", Celestia said. She tried to blast Light Cloud with some magic, but without her horn, her magic was useless. "Hard to do magic without a horn. Right, Celestia?" Scootaloo was scared. Celestia, on the other hoof, wasn't so scared. Looking at a mare with no bottom row of teeth and a broken, swollen left hind leg wasn't so scary to her. "How did you escape????!!!!!", Celestia said. "I bit through the bars, which is why I have no bottom teeth at the moment. Now...". She pulled out her crossbow. "It's revenge time". She readied her crossbow. Celestia pushed Scootaloo out of the way and ducked Light's arrow. Celestia and Scootaloo ran out of the room and blocked the door, not letting Light Cloud out. Light Cloud banged on the door, desperately trying to get out. "Scootaloo!", Celestia said, "I need you to do what I say, OK?!" "Yes, Mommy!!" "Good. I need you to fly to Ponyville and get Twilight and her remaining friends. We need back up. While you do, I'm going to get the guards, OK?" "Yes, Mommy!" Scootaloo ran to the nearest window, opened it, and flew to Ponyville. One hour later... Scootaloo arrived at Ponyville at quickly flew to the library. Luckily, all five friends were in there. "Hiya, Scootaloo!", Pinkie said. "Mares!", Scootaloo said, "We have an emergency!!!!" All gasped. "What emergency?", Twilight asked. "My mom has escaped and is trying to kill me and Princess Celestia! We have to go to Canterlot right now!!!!" All mares jumped up. "OK!!", Twilight said, "Let's go!" Meanwhile... Celestia, along with Luna and every single one of Luna's and Celestia's guards, were trying to capture Light Cloud. Luckily for Celestia, Luna used her magic to fix Celestia's horn. That didn't help, though, because Light Cloud was dodging every blast from Luna and Celestia. Both princesses were panting. Light Cloud was clever. She was one tough mare. At that point, Scootaloo and the remaining Elements entered through the window using Pinkie's homemade flying machine. "I told you this thing is helpful!", Pinkie said. The mares looked at the battle scene. Fluttershy noticed Rainbow Dash wasn't around. "Where's Rainbow Dash?!" "She's at the hospital. Light Cloud busted her forehead", Luna said. Fluttershy couldn't stand to fight. Plus, knowing Rainbow Dash was in danger was weighing her down. She took off and headed for the hospital. The others had no time to chase her. While the others were distracted, Light pounced on Scootaloo and punched her in her face, giving her a black eye. The others pulled her off while Scootaloo cried in pain. Celestia quickly used her magic to heal the injury. Celestia got an idea. "You all buy me some time! I'm gonna get some more backup!" She zapped some magic into the air, opening a secret portal. She then said under her breath, "from the Afterlife" Celestia flew into the portal. Two hours later... The fight was still going on. There were bodies, blood, sweat, and tears everywhere. There were even some yellow puddles on the floor, and it wasn't just Scootaloo who caused this. Light Cloud struggled to her hooves. She approached Scootaloo with her crossbow pointed at her head. Scootaloo was helpless. She was too sore to move, and everypony else were either too sore to move or was knocked out. "Goodbye, Scootaloo", she said, "Tell Dark Cloud I love him!" Before she could even shoot, her jaw was connected with a hoof. Two of them actually. Scootaloo looked up. Rainbow Dash was standing in front of her, a huge bandage over her forehead. Also, Dark Cloud was also standing there. Scootaloo didn't know if she was dreaming or not. Dark Cloud ran over to Scootaloo and help her to her hooves. "Daddy?" "Yes. It's me. For real this time. No time to talk. We have to give this maniac what she deserves!" Scootaloo couldn't move. She was too hurt. Within minutes, she fell asleep. Celestia used a force field spell to protect Scootaloo while she slept. About ten minutes later, Scootaloo woke up. She saw the only ponies standing: Light Cloud, Dark Cloud, Celestia, and Rainbow Dash. "Just give up!", Light Cloud said, "You are falling apart!" "I... never... give... up!", Rainbow Dash said, "Not... if... it... means... protecting... somepony... precious... to... me!" She pounced at Light Cloud. Light Cloud countered, knocking Rainbow Dash out for a second time. Both the others tried to attack, but were also knocked out. Scootaloo stared in horror. However, horror turned into anger. "YOU HURT MY DADDY, YOU HURT MY MOMMY, YOU HURT MY BIG SISTER, YOU HURT MY LIFE!!!!! NOW, IT"S MY TURN TO HURT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Scootaloo ran through the force field, jumped onto Light's back and locked in a major headlock. She also bit down as hard as she could on Light's neck. Light sputtered and gasped for breath. Scootaloo could taste her mother's blood. She was biting seriously hard. Light tried desperately to get Scootaloo off, but Scootaloo was to far for her to reach. Light Cloud collapsed onto the floor, still trying to escape. After about two minutes, it was over. Light Cloud stopped moving. Luna managed to get to her hooves, walked over to Light Cloud and checked her pulse. Nothing. Light Cloud was dead. Stone dead. At this point, all of the ponies that fought got up. All congratulated Scootaloo. She saved their lives. Celestia was the happiest. "Scootaloo. I'm proud of you! You save my life and and so many other lives!" Scootaloo looked at her dead mother and smiled. It was over. Light Cloud couldn't do anything to her anymore. Dark Cloud walked over to Scootaloo. "Good job, Scootasweetie!" "Thanks, Daddy!" "OK, Scoots. I have to go. I can't stay here or I'll disappear forever" Scootaloo hugged her father. "I love you, Daddy" "I love you too, Scootasweetie!" Celestia opened the portal and he walked through, going back to the Afterlife. Rainbow Dash walked up to Scootaloo. "I'm so proud of you, Scoots! Out of all the things I thought you could do, you saved my life. Thank you!" "No, Rainbow Dash. Thank you. For everything". She hugged Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash then noticed something. "Umm... Scoots?" "Yes?" "You may want to look at your flank". Scootaloo looked down at her flank. She gasped. She had gotten her cutie mark! It was a golden shield. "My cutie mark!" She started to hop in circles, chanting "YES!". Twilight smiled. Scootaloo stopped. "But what is it?" Celestia smiled. "It means 'courage', Sweetie" Scootaloo smiled. She finally got her cutie mark. "OK, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "We need to go home". "OK, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said. Scootaloo hugged Celestia. "I love you, Mommy" "I love you too, Sweetie". Scootaloo then hugged Luna. "I love you, Auntie Luna". Luna smiled. "I love you too, Sweetheart". Celestia and Luna healed Scootaloo's and The Elements' injuries and the seven ponies hopped into Pinkie's flying machine and went home. Two hours later... Rainbow Dash was very thankful to Scootaloo. So thankful, that she was hosting a sleepover party for Scootaloo, playing games and eating junk food. The two sisters were up in Rainbow's room, having a massive pillow fight in their pajamas. After about two hours, they were both tired. They got into the bed and turned off the lamp. "Goodnight, Scoots. I love you!" "Goodnight, Rainbow Dash. I love you too!" The two cuddled hard and fell asleep with smiles on their faces... //-------------------------------------------------------// "Cutie Mark Crusaders No More, YAY!!!"/Scootaloo's New XBUCK ONE //-------------------------------------------------------// "Cutie Mark Crusaders No More, YAY!!!"/Scootaloo's New XBUCK ONE The two sisters were having some breakfast in the kitchen. Scootaloo was supposed to be at school, but Rainbow Dash allowed her to stay home from school to recover from the attack the previous day. They were having their favorite, chocolate chip pancakes and hay bacon. "So, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "You must be happy that you finally got your cutie mark, correct?" "Yeah!", Scootaloo said, "After almost 58 times of trying, I finally got it!" "Yep. Like Applejack, Rarity, and I told you three: cutie marks take time. I told you how I got mine, but do you know how long it took me?" "How long?" "Four years". Scootaloo looked surprised. "Really?" "Yep. Long time, isn't it?" "Yep". The two finished their breakfast. "So, Rainbow Dash?" "Yeah?" "Can I go hang out with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle after they get out of school?" "Sure, you can" "Thanks, Rainbow Dash!!" Seven hours later... Scootaloo flew down to the schoolhouse and waited for her friends. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Silver Spoon were the last ones to show up. "Hey, Scootaloo!", Applebloom said. "Hi, Scootaloo!", Sweetie Belle said. "What's happening, Scootaloo?", Silver Spoon said, "Where were you?" Scootaloo was about to answer, but the answer came from the other two Crusaders. "She got into a fight with her mom in Canterlot!", Sweetie Belle said. "And killed her!", Applebloom said. Silver Spoon looked surprised. "Really?", Silver Spoon asked. Scootaloo nodded. "Yeah, and revenge is sweet!", Scootaloo said. Silver Spoon smiled. "Looks like you're finally free!", Silver Spoon said. Silver Spoon and Scootaloo kissed. "OK, I have to go home. Don't want to be late". "OK. See ya, Silver Spoon!", Scootaloo said. Silver Spoon walked home. "So, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, I have to show you something". "So do we", Applebloom said. Scootaloo smiled. "Lets do it on three! One... Two... Three!" The three turned their flanks, revealing their cutie marks. Applebloom's was a construction hammer, meaning she was great at building things, and Sweetie Belle's was a musical note, meaning she was great at singing. All three fillies gasped. "We all got our cutie marks!", Scootaloo said, "Which means..." They all said it at the same time. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS NO MORE, YAY!!!!!!!!!" 30 minutes later... The no-longer Cutie Mark Crusaders were walking to their tree house to grab all of their old stuff. They were Cutie Mark Crusaders no more, so they decided to grab their stuff and give away their tree house to somepony else. They finally reached their tree hose. They went in and began to grab their stuff and pack up. While they were cleaning, they were singing their theme song, "Cutie Mark Crusaders", for one last time. After packing up, they all looked into each other's eyes. "So", Scootaloo said, "We finally got our cutie marks". "Yeah", Sweetie Belle said, "We're not Cutie Mark Crusaders anymore". "We may not be, but we will always still be friends. Cutie Mark Crusader hug for one last time". They smiled and hugged. After getting their stuff, they left the tree house. Scootaloo placed a sign saying, "TREE HOUSE FOR ANYPONY. (FOR FREE)" on the tree house. The three fillies said goodbye to their tree house, sang their theme song for one last time, and went home. Once Scootaloo was home, she went up to her room and put her scooter and posters in her closet. Rainbow Dash wasn't there. She had to do weather patrol for an extra hour. There was a knock on the door. Scootaloo opened it, seeing the mailmare, Derpy Hooves, flying outside. "Hey, Derpy", Scootaloo said. "Hi, Scootaloo!", Derpy said, "I've got a check for Rainbow Dash and a package for you!" She hoofed Scootaloo the check and package. "Thanks, Derpy!" "No problem, Scootaloo! Bye!" "Bye, Derpy!" Derpy flew off. Scootaloo put the check on the table and looked at the package. It said it was from Canterlot Royal Castle. Scootaloo smiled. She knew exactly who it was from. Before she opened it, she noticed a note taped to the side. She picked up the note and read it. Scootaloo, Thank you for saving our lives. We are very thankful to you. We've bought you a gift that we're sure you would love.  Be sure to visit some time. We look forward to seeing you again! Once again, thank you! Enjoy your gift, Auntie Luna and Mommy. Scootaloo smiled. Celestia and Luna bought her something, as a token of their gratitude. She grabbed a knife and used it to cut the tape. Once the tape was cut, she opened the flaps. She gasped at what was in the box. It was a brand-new XBUCK ONE, with Pac-Mare, and on the side of the box said, "FREE XBUCK LIVE!!!" It also came with an XBUCK LIVE microphone. . Scootaloo was very thankful, also. She loved her Mommy, and her Auntie. "Thank you, Mommy! And you too, Auntie Luna!!" Rainbow Dash walked through the door. Surprisingly, she wasn't tired. "Hey, Scoots", she said, "What's up?" "Mommy and Auntie Luna bought me an XBUCK ONE!!!!" Rainbow Dash looked into the box. "Cool, Scoots. Derpy came by?" "Yeah. Oh, and there's a check for you on the table". Rainbow Dash picked up the check and opened the envelope. The check held 400 bits. "Great!" Rainbow Dash said, "So, Scoots. Wanna go play your XBUCK ONE? I used to have one, so I know how to set it up". Scootaloo nodded. Four hours later... Scootaloo was playing Pac-Mare with Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo had a huge undefeated streak, 15-0. After about another hour, Rainbow Dash played enough and went into her room to take a nap. Scootaloo signed into XBUCK LIVE using her new Coldmail profile. She was going to find some friends. She searched "Silver Spoon". Meanwhile at Silver Spoon's house... Silver Spoon was playing her XBUCK ONE, having a good time. That's when an XBUCK LIVE notification popped up. Profile "Scootaloo" had sent you a friend request. Silver Spoon looked surprised. She selected "Accept" and clicked on Scootaloo's name. "Scoots?", Silver Spoon said through her XBUCK LIVE microphone. "Hey, Silver Spoon!", Scootaloo said, "What's up?" "Nothing much. I didn't know you had an XBUCK ONE!" "Just got one. It was a gift from the princesses!" "That's awesome, Scoots". The two kept talking randomly. At the castle, 9:00 PM... Celestia lowered her Sun and Luna raised her Moon. The two sisters went back into the castle. A letter popped up in front of Celestia. She opened it and read. Mommy and Auntie Luna, Thank you so much for the new XBUCK ONE!!! I love it!!! And don't worry, I'll visit a lot more often. I love the both of you! Oh, and tell Daddy I love him, too, Mommy, please. Love your daughter and niece, Scootaloo. Both sisters smiled. Celestia noticed a picture on the back. She turned it over and looked at it. It was a self-drawn picture of Scootaloo and the two sisters, drawn by Scootaloo. It was even neatly colored. Celestia took the picture and used a duplication spell to copy it. She gave one to Luna and kept the other one. Luna left for Night Court, while Celestia hung the picture on her wall, next to her mini-sofa. She kissed the picture and laid down on her rug. "I love you, too, Sweetie" Back in Ponyville at Rainbow's cloud house... Scootaloo was getting ready for bed. She put her padding and pajamas on. She looked over at the Cutie Mark Crusaders cape and smiled. "Cutie Mark Crusaders no more, yay!" She then looked out the window, seeing the top of the castle in Canterlot. She blew a kiss to Celestia and then one to Luna. "I love you, Mommy. And I love you, too, Auntie Luna". She turned off her light and got into bed. She looked up and blew a kiss to her father in the Afterlife. "I love you, Daddy". Right before she fell asleep, she could hear a few small, soft voices. "I love you too, Scootasweetie".(Dark Cloud) "I love you, Sweetie".(Celestia) "Love ya, Scoots!"(Rainbow Dash) "I love you, Scoots".(Silver Spoon) "Cutie Mark Crusaders No More, YAY!!"(Applebloom, Sweetie Belle) "Goodnight, Sweetheart. I love you".(Luna) "Thank you for saving my life, Scootaloo! I love you, too!"(Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity) Scootaloo smiled, rolled over, and went to sleep, feeling good.

And now, the new saga: Scootaloo: Full Grown Mare //-------------------------------------------------------// Silver Spoon's Proposal //-------------------------------------------------------// Silver Spoon's Proposal Scootaloo woke up when her alarm clock went off. Today was her day off, but she liked waking up early. She slowly got out of the bed, trying not to wake up Silver Spoon, who was sleeping peacefully. She walked into her bathroom and closed and locked the door. After releasing her bodily waste, she took a shower. After her shower, she brushed her mane, tail, and teeth. Leaving the bathroom, she noticed Silver Spoon wasn't in the bed. That's when her muzzle was attacked by the aroma of her favorite breakfast. She walked downstairs into the kitchen, seeing Silver Spoon making hay bacon. There were also chocolate chip pancakes on the stove. Scootaloo smiled and sat at the table. "Hey, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said. Silver Spoon turned around, smiling. "Hey, Scoots", she said, "Just making some breakfast for you before I go to work". She began to make a plate for Scootaloo. "You're not making any for yourself?", Scootaloo asked. "No. I have to leave in two minutes, so I don't have time. Anyway, I'll just eat when I get there. So, what are you going to do today?" "Well, today is my day off, so I think I'll just go see Mom and Auntie Luna". Silver Spoon finished the plate and put it and a glass of apple juice on the table in front of Scootaloo. "OK. I have to go now. Enjoy your breakfast". Silver Spoon gave Scootaloo a light smooch on her lips. "See you later, Silver Spoon". Silver Spoon left and began to walk to Sugarcube Corner, while Scootaloo ate her breakfast. After her meal, she took off and flew to Canterlot. Scootaloo in Canterlot... Scootaloo arrived in Canterlot, smiling. She landed in front of Canterlot Royal Castle. The Pegasus Royal Guards greeted her and allowed her to enter. She began walking up to Celestia's bedchamber. The castle was like a big maze, so if she didn't know her way around, she definitely would've gotten lost. Once she got up to the bedchamber, she knocked on the door. "Enter", Celestia said. Scootaloo opened the door, seeing Celestia standing at her mirror brushing her mane and tail. Celestia stopped brushing and looked at her daughter. "Hello, Scootaloo. How are you doing?". Scootaloo walked over and hugged her mother. "Just stopping by for a visit, Mom. How are you doing?" "The usual. So, it's almost time for breakfast. Would you like to join me?" "Sure". Scootaloo then asked, "Where's Auntie Luna?" "She's going to sleep in today, Sweetie. She had a lot of work to do last night. So it's just you and me". "OK, and yes, I would like to join you". Celestia and Scootaloo went down to the dining room for breakfast. The two were enjoying blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs, which was Celestia's favorite breakfast. As they ate, they were chatting among themselves. Celestia was telling Scootaloo a few stories about her early fillyhood. That was something Scootaloo really loved. "... and that's how I got my cutie mark", Celestia said, rubbing her cutie mark. Scootaloo smiled. "That must have taken forever", Scootaloo said, "Of course, you know how I got mine. In fact, you saw me get it". "Yes". "So, Mom. Does Moonie ever scare you?" "Well, no. But sometimes". "When?" "Well, two days after Luna got Moonie, she must have put him into my bedchamber, because when I woke up, he was slithering on my face. I nearly had a heart attack". "Auntie Luna pranked you?" "Yes. She has become a prankster ever since she started watching that show 'Dream Workshop' on PTV", Celestia said. Scootaloo had to try everything she could to keep herself from laughing. "Wow. Have you ever gotten her back?" "No, Sweetie. I want to, but I don't want to upset her". "Mom, she won't be upset. Pranksters are always okay with being pranked. They will eventually be payed back. Remember when I pushed Rainbow Dash into the pool when we went swimming 15 years ago? She got me back". "OK, Sweetie. I will, but how?" "You said she's asleep right now, right?", Scootaloo asked. Celestia nodded. "Well, I have the perfect prank for your payback". Scootaloo whispered the prank into Celestia's ear. An evil smile appeared on Celestia's face. "Kitchen", she said, "Please bring me a bowl of warm water" Silver Spoon at Sugarcube Corner... Silver Spoon walked into Sugarcube Corner, clocked in, and put her apron on. Her boss, Pinkie Pie, had just came from upstairs. She smiled as she walked toward her employee. "Good morning, Silver Spoon!", she said. "Good morning, Mrs. Pie", Silver Spoon said. "Silver Spoon, I told you. You don't have to call me that. Just call me Pinkie". "OK... Pinkie. Would it be OK if I got some breakfast?" "Sure! But remember, we open in about 20 minutes. Don't take too long, OK?" "Yes ma'am", Silver Spoon said. She went into the kitchen and grabbed some breakfast. After she was finished eating, it was opening time. She went up to the door, flipped the sign from "closed" to "open", and took her place at the register. The first customer was Rainbow Dash's wife, Fluttershy. Fluttershy walked up to the counter. "Hello, Silver Spoon", Fluttershy said. "Good morning, Fluttershy", Silver Spoon said, "How may I help you today?" "I would like an apple pie topped with chocolate ice cream, to go. Rainbow Dash wants it". Silver Spoon wrote her order down and rang it up. "That'll be two bits", Silver Spoon said. Fluttershy took two bits out of her saddlebag and hoofed them to Silver Spoon. After putting the bits into the register, she repeated the order to Pinkie. Pinkie began to make the order. While Fluttershy waited, Silver Spoon wanted to ask her something. "Psst... hey, Fluttershy", she whispered. Fluttershy looked at Silver Spoon. "Yes?" "Can I ask you for advice?" "Yes, you may" "Well... Scootaloo and I have been dating for 15 years. Tonight, I want to propose to her. What do you think?", Silver Spoon said. Fluttershy smiled. "That would be lovely". "I know. But, I don't know if I should. I'm afraid that she may not say yes", Silver Spoon said. Fluttershy put a comforting hoof on her shoulder. "Silver Spoon. I know how you feel. I proposed to Rainbow Dash, but you don't know how scared I was, but I did it". The oven dinged and Pinkie shouted, "Order up!!". Silver Spoon grabbed the pie and hoofed it to Fluttershy. She put the treat into her saddlebag and looked at Silver Spoon again. "Listen, what you want won't happen unless you make it happen. If you want to marry Scootaloo, you have to propose. Here's a good way: take her to a place she loves and get her happy, then propose. That's what I did for Rainbow Dash. Anyway, good luck". She walked away. Silver Spoon smiled, locked the thought into her head, and focused on her job. Meanwhile at the Castle... Scootaloo and Celestia were walking up to Luna's bedchamber. Celestia activated a spell that made every noise they made silent. Only they could hear themselves. Celestia carried a bowl of warm water in her magic. Once they got up to Luna's bedchamber, they went inside. "Sweetie", Celestia said, "Are you sure this will work?" "Yes", Scootaloo said, "If it works on Rainbow Dash, it'll work on Auntie Luna, too". Celestia nodded and walked over to Luna, who was sleeping peacefully with Moonie laying on her stomach, curled up. She set the water on her on the table next to Luna's bed and finally, put Luna's hoof in it. Celestia looked back at Scootaloo. "What now?", she asked. Scootaloo smiled. "Three... two... one... and, now". The two started to hear a muffled hissing noise. Celestia looked down, seeing a wet spot starting to show on Luna's blue comforter. The two kept laughing as Luna kept wetting herself. After a full minute, the hissing noise stopped, and the wet spot was huge. Scootaloo was surprised at how much Luna let out. "Wow", she said, "Why so much?" "When you're a princess", Celestia said, "You're usually so busy, you barely have time to go to the bathroom, so you have to hold it. But it really isn't a problem for me or Luna, considering that our bladders are big". "Wow. Sounds like a busy duty". "It is, especially if you've been one for over 1000 years". Celestia deactivated the spell. Luna rubbed her eyes and yawned, seeing Celestia and Scootaloo standing beside her. "Morning, Tia", she said, "Morning Scootaloo". She didn't notice to warm water or the wet spot on her bed, yet. "Good morning, Auntie Luna", Scootaloo said. "Good morning, Luna", Celestia said, "May I ask you something?" "Yes?" "Remember how you pranked me with your snake, Moonie?", Celestia said. Luna nodded, smiling. "Well, Scootaloo gave me an idea to get you back, and I just now did it". Luna was confused. "What? But how did you-?" Luna felt something warm on her hoof and down by her hind legs. She looked at her hoof, seeing it soaking in warm water. "Wait, did you-?" She looked down by her hind legs, seeing a big wet spot on her comforter. "Yes", Celestia said, "And now, we're even". Celestia and Scootaloo hoof-bumped and started laughing. Once they stopped laughing, Luna started laughing. "Good prank, Tia", she said. Celestia was a little confused. "You don't hate me or mad?", she asked. "No", Luna said, "I pranked you, so you just got me back. Now, we're even". Luna stood up and placed Moonie in his tank. "OK, I'm going to go take a bath now. Tia, could you take my sheets and comforter to the laundry room?" Celestia nodded and Luna went into her bathroom to clean herself. Scootaloo smiled. "See?". she said, "Pranksters are always OK with being pranked back". Celestia smiled and hugged Scootaloo. "Thank you, Sweetie", she said. "No problem, Mom", Scootaloo said. Meanwhile at Sugarcube Corner, three hours later... "Thank you, come again!" Silver Spoon finished serving another customer. Silver Spoon loved her job. Pinkie Pie came back from the kitchen. "Another satisfied customer, right Silver Spoon?", Pinkie said. Silver Spoon nodded. "I love my job", Silver Spoon said, "Thanks again, Pinkie". "No problem, Silver Spoon", Pinkie said with a warm smile. The store bell rang. "Lunch break, Silver Spoon! You may have an hour of break time!" Silver Spoon nodded. "OK. See you in an hour, Pinkie!" Silver Spoon walked out of the bakery and stopped at Lyra's Confectionery for some lunch. She ordered a daffodil-and-dandelion sandwich and some hay fries. While she ate, she was wondering how to propose to Scootaloo. She wanted to take Fluttershy's advice, but where would she? There were a lot of places that Scootaloo liked to go. So many, it was too hard to choose. Silver Spoon bit into her sandwich, trying to think harder. Silver Spoon really wanted to marry Scootaloo. The two had been dating ever since they were fillies. Silver Spoon had seen ponies propose to each other, and it looked easy, but any fool would know that making a proposal wasn't as easy as it looked. Silver Spoon finished her lunch, paid the bill, and left. Silver Spoon looked at the clock tower. It was 12:30. She still had 30 minutes before she had to go back to work. She walked over to a bench and sat down, trying to relax for the next 30 minutes. Silver Spoon kept thinking. Where would she propose? The pool? The Wonderbolt Museum? Sugarcube Corner? There were so many places Scootaloo liked to go, and picking one was way too hard. That's when she got an idea. She was going to have dinner with her, but where? That's when the idea finally kicked her in her brain. "That's it! I'll propose to Scootaloo at Lyra's Confectionery! I better make us a reservation before I have to go back to work". Luckily, there was a pay phone right next to the bench. She picked up the phone, inserted a bit, and dialed the number. The dial tone rang for a few seconds, and then somepony answered. "Lyra's Confectionery. This is Lyra Heartstrings speaking". "Hey, Lyra. It's me, Silver Spoon". "Hello, Silver Spoon", Lyra said. Lyra and Silver Spoon were good friends. "How may I help you?" "I would like to make a reservation". "OK. How many?" Silver Spoon thought about it. She wanted her mother to see her propose, and she was certain Rainbow Dash would want to see. Smiling, she said, "Spoon, Party of Four". "OK, at what time?" "7:00 tonight, please". "OK, Silver Spoon. You have your reservation". Silver Spoon smiled. "Thanks, Lyra. See you at 7:00!" "You too, Silver Spoon! Bye!" "Later!" She hung up the phone and began walking to her mother's house to see if she would be able to come. She would then go to Rainbow Dash to see if she could come, too. Once she got to her mother's house, she knocked on the door. "Who is it?", Golden Spoon said. "It's me, Mom", Silver Spoon said. "Come in!" Silver Spoon opened the door. She saw Golden Spoon sitting on the sofa watching television. "Hello, Sweetie!" Silver Spoon walked over to her mother, sat down, and hugged her. "Hey, Mom". Silver Spoon may be 22, but she still loved to cuddle with her mother. Golden Spoon also liked it. "So, Sweetie", Golden Spoon said, still hugging Silver Spoon, "What brings you here? Shouldn't you be at work?" "I'm on my lunch break right now. I came here because I wanted to know if you could come to Lyra's Confectionery tonight at 7:00". Golden Spoon smiled. "Of course I can Sweetie, but why?" "I want to do something special for Scootaloo, and then make it our special night". "How are you going to make it your special night?". "I don't want you to know right now. I want you to find out. Is that OK?" "Sure it is, Sweetie". Golden Spoon kissed her daughter's cheek, making her blush lightly. "OK, Mom. I have to go now. I don't want to be late going back to work". Golden Spoon and Silver Spoon let go of each other, but not after they kissed each other's cheek. "See you at 7:00?" Silver Spoon said. "Yes, Sweetie. I love you". "I love you too, Mom". Silver Spoon left and tried to find Rainbow Dash. Luckily, Rainbow Dash was flying freely in the sky above her. Silver Spoon smiled. "RAINBOW DASH!", Silver Spoon yelled. Rainbow Dash went down to ground level and landed in front of Silver Spoon. "Hey, Silver Spoon", she said, "What's up?" "Hey, Rainbow Dash", Silver Spoon said, "I need a favor". "What do you need?" "I need to know if you could come to Lyra's Confectionery tonight at 7:00". "Sure I can, but what for?" "I want to do something special for Scootaloo, and then I want to make it our special night". "OK, but how?" "I don't want you to know right now. I want you to find out". "OK, and yeah. I'll come". Silver Spoon smiled. "Thanks, Rainbow Dash!" "No problem, Silver Spoon", Rainbow Dash said. Silver Spoon looked a the clock tower. It was 12:55. "OK, Rainbow Dash. Gotta go. See you at 7:00?" "Yep. See you". "Later", Silver Spoon said. Rainbow Dash flew back into the sky and Silver Spoon ran back to Sugarcube Corner, anxious about the event. The Castle, 6:29 PM... Scootaloo, Celestia, and Luna were up in Luna's bedchamber, watching "Dream Workshop", Luna's favorite show. Scootaloo had to admit, there was a reason why Luna liked the show. The episode ended and Luna turned her television off. "See?", she said, "I told you that show is good". "It's not good", Scootaloo said, "It's awesome! It gives me some new ideas for pranks". Celestia chuckled lightly. "Please don't perform any on me, OK?" "OK, I won't". The three group hugged. Scootaloo looked over at the clock. 6:30. "Umm... Mom, Auntie Luna?" "Yes, Scootaloo?", they both said at the same time. "I have to leave now. Silver Spoon should be getting home soon". "OK, Scootaloo", Celestia said. "I love you, Sweetie". She kissed Scootaloo's cheek. "So do I", Luna said, kissing Scootaloo's cheek also. Scootaloo hugged Celestia, and then Luna. "I love you both! See you later!" Scootaloo opened the window and flew to her house.. Once she got back to her house, she used the key underneath the doormat to unlock it. She went into her house and sat down on the couch. However, she heard the sound of a toilet flush. She smiled. Silver Spoon was home. Silver Spoon walked out of the bathroom and sat down next to Scootaloo. "Hey, Scoots!", she said, hugging Scootaloo. "Hey, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said, returning the hug, "How was work?" "The usual. So, I want to do something special for you tonight". "What do you mean?" "I set up a reservation at Lyra's Confectionery for four members. I invited my mom and Rainbow Dash, too". Scootaloo smiled. "Wow! Thanks Silver Spoon! But, why did you do it?" "Because like I said, I wanted to do something special for you", Silver Spoon said. Scootaloo smiled and kissed Silver Spoon's muzzle. "Thanks. So, when is it?", Scootaloo asked. Silver Spoon looked at the clock on the wall. 6:45. "In 15 minutes, so we still have some time to get ready". "We don't have to dress up fancy, do we?" "No. We're OK". "Great". "Umm... Scoots?" "Yeah?" "Can we sit here and cuddle until it's time to go?", Silver Spoon asked. Scootaloo smiled. "Sure. But first, I have to pee". "Oh, OK. Go ahead". Silver Spoon let go of Scootaloo and walked into the bathroom. One flush later, Scootaloo sat down on the couch next to Silver Spoon and the two cuddled each other. The real reason Silver Spoon wanted to cuddle with Scootaloo was she was hoping this would be their last cuddling as marefriends. She hoped the next cuddling would be as wives. After ten minutes of cuddling, they walked out of their house and began to walk to Lyra's Confectionery. Once they got there, Rainbow Dash and Golden Spoon were at the door. "Hey, Silver Spoon", Rainbow Dash said. "Hello, Scootaloo", Golden Spoon said. "Hey", the marefriends said together. The four mares walked in and were greeted by the owner of the restaurant, Lyra Heartstrings. "Hello, Silver Spoon", she said, "Attending your reservation?" "Yes", Silver Spoon said, "Spoon Party of Four". "OK. Right this way". Lyra lead the mares to a table. They all sat down. Lyra handed them each one menu. "I'll give you sometime to think about what you want, then I'll be back". They all nodded and Lyra walked off. After about ten minutes, Lyra came back to take their orders. They all ordered what they wanted. Scootaloo ordered the grass soup, Rainbow Dash ordered a hayburger and hay fries, Silver Spoon ordered the same thing she had earlier, and Golden Spoon also ordered the grass soup. About 30 minutes later, they all had gotten their orders. While the four mares ate, they were really chatty with each other. After each mare was done eating, Silver Spoon decided it was time. "Everypony", she said, "I want to say something". She stood up. took her glasses off, and held Scootaloo's hooves with her's. "Scootaloo, 15 years ago, you and I became fillyfriends, and I'll tell you: that was one of the best days of my life. Everypony was happy for us then, and Diamond Tiara thought that if she exposed us, we would be laughed at. But all get did was made everypony at school happy for us. You and I have had a happy relationship together, but now, I want to be more than just marefriends". She knelt down next to Scootaloo. Both Rainbow Dash and Golden Spoon knew what was coming next. "Scootaloo, will you marry me?" She reached into her mane and pulled out a golden chain necklace. Scootaloo gasped. The necklace was beautiful and looked really expensive. Scootaloo knew this was something Silver Spoon really wanted. A tear rolled down Scootaloo's face. "Yes, Silver Spoon. I will marry you!!!!" Both mares hugged each other tight, weeping into each other's coats. Both Rainbow Dash and Golden Spoon clapped their hooves. After the engaged marefriends hugged, they kissed each other for about two minutes. Once they finished kissing, they turned to Rainbow Dash and Golden Spoon. "Umm... Rainbow Dash, Ms. Spoon?", Scootaloo said, "Yes?", they both said. "Would it be OK if Silver Spoon and I had the rest of this night alone?" "Sure, Scoots", Rainbow Dash said, "I need to get home anyway. There's supposed to be a storm tonight and Fluttershy will have a heart attack if she's there by herself". "Of course you may, Scootaloo!", Golden Spoon said, "After all, this is your special night. Congrats on your new engagement!" "Yeah. See ya!". Rainbow Dash and Golden Spoon walked out of the restaurant. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon smiled and kissed again. "So", Scootaloo said, "Want a dessert? I'll pay for it". Silver Spoon smiled. "Sure. But can we share one? I don't want to make you pay too much". "OK, if that's what you want. So, what shall it be?" "How about a triple-layer chocolate cheesecake? I'm craving one right now". "You read my mind, Silver Spoon". Scootaloo noticed Lyra walking toward them. "Is everything OK?", she asked. "Everything is good", Scootaloo said, "Can we order one more thing?" "You may", Lyra said, smiling, "What would you like?" "One triple-layer chocolate cheesecake, please". "OK, be out in a minute". Lyra walked into the kitchen. While they waited, they kept talking about their new engagement. "So, Scoots", Silver Spoon said, "Look's like Mom and Rainbow Dash are the only ones that know about our engagement". "Oh, don't worry", Scootaloo said, "She'll tell her friends, they they will know. I can't wait to tell Mom and Auntie Luna! I'll tell them tomorrow. Are you OK with that?" "Of course I am. They're your family, aren't they? So, do you like the necklace?" "Yeah!! You must have spent a ton on this!" "It was 200 bits. I had to ask for a raise and thankfully, Pinkie gave it to me. I'm really happy we're engaged right now!" "So am I. I love you, Silver Spoon". "I love you too, Scootaloo" The two fiances kissed each other's muzzle. At that point, Lyra came out with their cheesecake. "Here you go. And here's the bill, just in case". Lyra placed the cheesecake and the bill on the table and walked off. The two began to eat their cheesecake and continued to talk about their new engagement. After finishing the cheesecake, Silver Spoon picked up the bill. "100 bits. That's pretty payable", she said. "I'll help you pay", Scootaloo said, "Let's split the bill 50:50". "OK". Silver Spoon and Scootaloo both put fifty bits on the table, left the restaurant, and walked home. Once they got home, they went upstairs, got into bed, and turned off the light. They then covered themselves up with the comforter and cuddled together. "Goodnight Scootaloo", Silver Spoon said, licking Scootaloo's cheek, "I love you". "Goodnight Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said, kissing Silver Spoon's cheek, "I love you, too". The two newly-engaged mares fell asleep with smiles on their faces. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Ones Who Will Help Plan The Wedding //-------------------------------------------------------// The Ones Who Will Help Plan The Wedding Scootaloo woke up and rubbed her eyes. She looked over at the calender. Saturday. She smiled. Both Silver Spoon and Scootaloo were off on the weekends. Scootaloo looked down at her fiance, who was snuggled into Scootaloo's coat, sleeping peacefully. Scootaloo wanted to just let her sleep, but an urge to wake her up was too strong. She gave Silver Spoon's cheek a warm nuzzle, making Silver Spoon wake up. Silver Spoon yawned and rubbed her eyes. She looked up at Scootaloo. "Scoots?", she said. "Yeah, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said, "It's me". "What time is it?", Silver Spoon asked. Scootaloo looked over at the clock. 6:00 AM. The sun had just been risen when Scootaloo woke up. "6:00 in the morning", she said. "Why do you wake me up?" "I don't know. I just wanted to. Sorry if it's too early for you", Scootaloo said. Silver Spoon smiled. "I don't mind", Silver Spoon said, "Besides, I love you too much to complain to you". Silver Spoon reached up and kissed Scootaloo's cheek, making Scootaloo blush lightly. "I love you too". The two cuddled for a while. Silver Spoon then let go. "Umm... Scoots. I'll be right back", she said, "I think the cheesecake from last night has reached the end of its journey". Scootaloo chuckled a bit. "OK", she said. Silver Spoon got out of bed and went into the bathroom. While Silver Spoon handled her business, Scootaloo laid on her back and starred at the ceiling, thinking about their new engagement. She couldn't wait to tell her mother and her aunt. However, the thing they needed to worry about was where to have the wedding, and how to plan it. She then remembered the wedding in Canterlot she was in, where she and her two friends were the flower-fillies. After that, the idea finally kicked her brain. A Canterlot Wedding. Scootaloo smiled. The toilet flushed and Silver Spoon walked out of the bathroom. "Feel better?", Scootaloo joked, giggling lightly. "Yeah", Silver Spoon said, "And if I were you, I wouldn't go in there for a few minutes". "Thanks for the warning. So, I just figured out where to put the wedding", Scootaloo said. Silver Spoon's ears perked up. "Where?!" "Canterlot", Scootaloo said. Silver Spoon looked down. "I don't know, Scoots. I'm not really much of a public speaker, and a city that big? I don't know if I could do it". Scootaloo walked over to Silver Spoon and hugged her. Silver Spoon buried her face in Scootaloo's coat. "Silver Spoon, I know how you feel. You don't know how many times I've felt that way. Didn't you see how many times I chickened out of speeches at school? I used to have so much stage fright that I thought I was a chicken. I was also ashamed of myself for being a flightless Pegasus, and when you and that idiot Diamond Tiara bullied me, I felt so weak. But who's laughing now? Me and you! We're engaged now. You may have to say a small speech, but you'll be OK. OK, Silver Spoon?" Silver Spoon smiled and kissed Scootaloo's cheek. "Thanks, Scootaloo. I feel a lot better now. So, how are we gonna get the wedding at Canterlot?" "All we have to do is go see Mom and Auntie Luna and ask for it. That shouldn't be hard". "So, how are we going to get there? I can't fly and taking a train will take hours", Silver Spoon said. Scootaloo got an idea and smiled. "Well, I could fly us there", she said. Silver Spoon raised her eyebrow. "Umm... Scoots. That is a good idea, but I don't know if you could carry me. I'm an Earth Pony and you're a Pegasus. I'm pretty heavy". "Well, maybe we could test it out. Get on my back". "Are you sure? I don't want to wear you out", Silver Spoon said. Scootaloo nodded. Silver Spoon lightly got onto Scootaloo's back. Scootaloo got into the position and hovered. Scootaloo was surprised. Silver Spoon wasn't heavy to her. "Wow. You aren't heavy. I can do this". "OK. Should we get going?" "We should". Scootaloo opened the window and flew to Canterlot. About 10 minutes later, the two had reached Canterlot Royal Castle. Silver Spoon hopped off of Scootaloo's back and the Unicorn Royal Guards allowed them to enter. Scootaloo lead Silver Spoon to Celestia's bedchamber. On the way, Silver Spoon was surprised at how big and clean the castle was. This was her first time in the castle and she was enjoying it. Scootaloo was about to go upstairs when she heard something. "Sweetie". The voice sounded like Celestia. Scootaloo turned around to see Celestia and Luna in the dining room eating breakfast. Scootaloo smiled and walked into the dining room. She and Silver Spoon sat down at the table. Silver Spoon was very nervous at this point. Being in the castle was one thing, be sitting at the same table with the two most important ponies in all of Equestria was making her flat-out nervous. "Hello, Sweetheart", Luna said, "How are you?" "I'm fine, Auntie Luna", Scootaloo said. A loud rumble came from both Scootaloo's and Silver Spoon's stomach. "Would you and your friend like some breakfast?", Celestia said, "Because I think your stomachs just told you they're empty". "Sure. Silver Spoon?", Scootaloo said. "Y-yes... please", Silver Spoon said. Celestia told the cooks to bring two more plates. They did and Scootaloo and Silver Spoon started to eat. "So, Sweetheart", Luna said, "What brings you here?" "Well, I wanna talk about something", Scootaloo said. "What is it?", Celestia said. "Well, remember when I said I was in a relationship? Well, Silver Spoon is my marefriend". "Really?", Celestia said, "That's lovely". "But, there's something else". Scootaloo took a deep breath. "We're engaged". Both princesses spit out a huge spray of tea for an unusual amount of time. Once the sprays stopped, Luna was coughing too much to speak, so Celestia did it for her. "Really?! You mean, she's gonna be my daughter-in-law?!" "Yes. Is that bad", Scootaloo said. Celestia looked over in the direction Silver Spoon was sitting. However, she wasn't sitting in the chair. Celestia looked under the table, seeing Silver Spoon sitting under the table. Celestia could tell she was getting very nervous. "Sweetie", she said to Silver Spoon, "Are you OK?" Silver Spoon looked at Celestia. "Y-yes, Princess", Silver Spoon said, "I-I'm just a little nervous. I've never actually been this close to you or Princess Luna". She stood up and sat down in her chair. "Silver Spoon", Luna said, "You're going to marry Scootaloo?" Silver Spoon nodded lightly. "Yeah", Scootaloo said, "And, there is something we also need to know". "What is it?", Celestia asked. "We want to schedule the wedding here, in the castle. Is this OK?" "Well, I don't have anything scheduled right now. Luna?" "No, Tia", Luna said. "Then it's settled. Yes, you may have the wedding here. But, you know you will need more than just the place. A wedding requires catering, a reception host, uniforms, entertainment, music, and the rehearsal dinner the day before. You will also need a host of the bachelor party afterwards", Celestia said. Scootaloo smiled. "I think I know a certain six ponies and young dragon who could do that"... Meanwhile in Ponyville... Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Spike were sitting in the open meadows of Sweet Apple Acres, having a picnic. They were having several apple treats, and a friendly conversation. In the middle of a conversation, Spike hiccuped and burped. A letter formed in the belch and Twilight picked it up and opened it. Dear Twilight Sparkle and friends, my faithful subjects, I'm sure you know that Scootaloo and her marefriend, Silver Spoon are engaged. The two have requested a wedding in the castle. I would like you to help plan the wedding. Fluttershy: I would like you and your Songbird Choir to provide the music and songs for the wedding. Rarity: You will be in charge of dress making and uniforms. Pinkie Pie: You will be in charge of hosting the reception and providing the theme. Applejack: You will be in charge of catering. Rainbow Dash: I would like you to perform a Sonic Rainboom after the two brides kiss. Spike: I am putting you in charge of hosting the bachelor party after the wedding. Twilight: You will be in charge of making sure everything is OK and the wedding goes smoothly. The wedding is in two days. The two mares will be staying in the castle until then. You may come to Canterlot anytime before the wedding. Thank you for your assistance, Princess Celestia. Twilight read the letter out loud and everypony, and Spike, gave different reactions. Pinkie started to do cartwheels around the blanket, Applejack, Fluttershy and Spike smiled, Rarity fainted, and Rainbow Dash was flying with enthusiasm. Once they all calmed down and Rarity regained consciousness, Twilight spoke. "Wow", Twilight said, "I didn't know Silver Spoon and Scootaloo were engaged. Did you all know?" Everyone except for Rainbow Dash said no. "Yeah", Rainbow Dash said, "I was going to tell you, but everypony was talking, so I decided to wait". "Well", Applejack said, "Should we go ta Canterlot before tha wedding?" "Sure", Twilight said, "We need to prepare. Come on, mares". The six ponies and Spike went to the train station and got on the train to Canterlot. They talked about the wedding while the train loaded. However, they failed to notice somepony spying on them while they were talking about the wedding during the picnic. "First, she becomes friends with her", the spy said, "Then she becomes her fillyfriend, and now she wants to marry her?! That's it! Silver Spoon, you better watch your back, because I'm coming for you! I will make you pay!". The spy got onto the train that was going to the Changling Kingdom. Right when it started to move, the spy said: "Because nopony messes with Diamond Tiara!!!!!!!!!!!!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Changeling Tiara //-------------------------------------------------------// Changeling Tiara Diamond Tiara was on the train that was going to the Changeling Kingdom. She could hardly wait. She was going there to find her help. "Silver Spoon", Diamond Tiara said, "You better enjoy your time with your little fiance now, because that knot will be broken. Because I'm getting help from the perfect wedding crasher! I'm going to crash your wedding with the help... of...-". The train's whistle blew and she got off. She was the only passenger on the train because nopony, not even Rainbow Dash, had the guts to go to the Changeling Kingdom. Diamond Tiara walked through the Changeling Kindom, seeing random changelings flying and ripping things up. Some were using the bathroom in public, and didn't care who was looking. This almost made Diamond Tiara vomit. However, she didn't think that was possible, since every changeling had at least twenty holes in their bodies. She tried her best to ignore the changeling. As she walked, she noticed a few changeling devouring what looked like a cow's lifeless body. Diamond Tiara tried her best not to vomit. These creatures weren't just evil, they were carnivores. She was starting to have second thoughts about this idea, but she was able to stay focused. One changeling stopped her and she was frightened. However, the changeling didn't attack, it just wanted to talk. "Hello, Equestrian scum", it said. Clearly, the changelings didn't like anypony that wasn't from the Changeling Kingdom. "Umm... Hi", Diamond Tiara said, "I'm looking for somepony". "Who do you seek?", it said. "Can you tell me where Queen Chrysalis is? I need a favor", Diamond Tiara said. The changeling hissed, making Diamond Tiara cower in fear. "Why do you want to see our beloved Queen?!", it said, "You may want to execute her!" "N-no, Sir Changeling", she said, "I just want to ask her something". The changeling calmed down. "So, you're saying you don't want to hurt her?", it said. Diamond Tiara shook her head. "OK, yes I will. But I'm going to go with you. It's the rule. If an outsider shall visit the Queen, it must bring a changeling with it". The changeling lead Diamond Tiara to the Changeling Castle, which was surrounded by many other changelings. The changelings must have really loved their leader, and were willing to do anything to protect her. Diamond Tiara tried to enter, but the other changelings blocked the door, hissing. The changeling had to explain. "Fellow changelings", it said, "The outsider has not come for execution of our great leader. It has simply come for a talk with her". The other changelings nodded and allowed her to enter. The two walked to Queen Chrysalis, who was sitting on her throne, eating a hamburger. The sight of somepony eating meat was starting to make Diamond Tiara feel sick to her stomach. She had to swallow several mouthfuls of vomit, not wanting to anger the Queen. "Why have you come to waste my time?", Queen Chrysalis said with a sour attitude. There was a button next to her throne that said "SUMMON ALL CHANGELINGS", meaning if Diamond Tiara tried anything, she would get ambushed by hundreds of changelings. Diamond Tiara took a deep breath and began to speak. "Beloved Queen of the Changelings", she said, "I have come to ask for a request from you". The Queen must have been concerned, because she out down her lunch and walked down her throne, standing right in front of Diamond Tiara. Compared to her, the Queen was a lot taller, kinda like the same size as Celestia. "What have you come to me for?", she said. "I would like help to crash a wedding in Canterlot". Chrysalis looked surprised. "A wedding? Sorry, but I have already learned my lesson with those. I almost got absorbed by Celestia during that last one". "Please, Your Royal Highness". "Sorry, Equestrian, but I can't help you. Now please, scram!". Diamond Tiara knew she wasn't going to change her mind. But then, she remembered that she has always had a dream. "Your Royal Highness, if that cannot be fulfilled, I would like to form an alliance with the changelings and live with them". The Queen's eyes went big and she immediately pressed the button. Within seconds, every single changeling of the kingdom came into the castle and formed a circle around Diamond Tiara. Diamond Tiara was shaking with extreme fear. Chrysalis walked into the circle. "Fellow subjects", she said, "We have an Equestrian outsider who wishes to join us changelings. She wishes to become one of us and live with us. She wishes to form an alliance with us as well". The other changelings were surprised. Diamond Tiara wanted to join the dark side. The Queen knelt down to Diamond Tiara's level. "Young mare, why do you wish to be one of us?" "When I first saw you attack that wedding in Canterlot, I was so entertained, and ever since, I've been a huge fan of changlings. That's why I want to join the changelings". The Queen was blushing. "A fan?", she said. Diamond Tiara smiled and nodded. The Queen smiled. "Your wish has been granted! Before you may live here, you must become one of us. To do that, each one of us must use our magic to transform you. Please stand still". Diamond Tiara did. The Queen's and the other changeling's horns lit up. Diamond Tiara closed her eyes and tried to relax. She was trembling with excitement. It all happened in about a minute. Diamond Tiara looked at the giant mirror. She looked at her new self. Her mane was messy and frazzled, her body had several holes in it, and she had a horn that looked bad and two wings that were seriously ripped up. She loved the way she looked. She looked like a real changeling. She hugged the queen. "THANK YOU!!!!!!", she said. Chrysalis smiled. "Not a problem". "But Your Highness, I don't know how to fly, or use magic". "Don't worry. That is an inherited trait for you. You don't have to learn, just try". Tiara jumped up and flapped her wings. She was actually flying. "Like it?" Tiara nodded. "And, to transform into somepony else, just think about who you want and just focus that into your horn". Diamond Tiara did and transformed into her former self. She then went back to her changeling self. "I LOVE THIS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!" "No problem. But now, we need to see if you truly are a changeling". She tuned to one of her subjects. "Please bring me a boneless steak. Well-done". It left and soon returned with a plate that was holding a huge steak. The Queen held the plate in her magic. She then levitated it in front of Changeling Tiara. "New subject, please consume this item". Tiara sniffed the steak for a bit. The smell was so good. Her changeling instincts kicked in and she hungrily devoured the steak. It was a whole new taste for her, and she loved it. The Queen smiled. "You are now officially my new subject!!!!!!" Tiara smiled and the other changelings clapped. "You will live with me in my castle. Tiara was as happy as could be. The Queen dismissed her other subjects and Tiara stayed. Two hours later... The Queen had gone to sleep in the room. Tiara had gotten her own room, too. Her changeling instincts had fully kicked in and she was used to eating meat and using the bathroom in public. She was going to sleep and said one last thing before falling asleep. "Enjoy your little relationship now, Silver Spoon. Because in two days, you won't have one anymore". She let out an evil laugh and fell asleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// A SilverScoot Wedding //-------------------------------------------------------// A SilverScoot Wedding Two days later in Canterlot, 9:00 AM... "Scootasweetie?" Scootaloo was awakened by a soft, deep voice that said her nickname. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She looked up, seeing Dark Cloud standing over her. "Daddy?", she said. "Yes. It's me", Dark Cloud said. He sat down next to Scootaloo, and Scootaloo sat up and hugged him. Dark Cloud smiled and returned the hug. "How's my little filly doing?" "Fine, Daddy", Scootaloo said. Of course, Scootaloo was a mare now, but didn't mind being called a filly, if if was from her father. Dark Cloud looked over at Silver Spoon, who was sleeping in the bad also on the other side of Scootaloo. "So, this must be my daughter-in-law. Silver Spoon, right?", he asked. Scootaloo nodded. "My little filly is growing up so fast". He kissed Scotaloo's muzzle, making her blush lightly. Silver Spoon yawned and looked over at the two ponies on the other side. "Morning Scoots", she said, "Who are you?" "I'm Scootaloo's father, Dark Cloud", Dark Cloud said. Silver Spoon looked confused. "Scootaloo told me that you died". "Princess Celestia came and got me from the Afterlife. I'm just here for the wedding and the bachelor party, then I have to return". "Oh, OK. Sorry for being rude". "That's fine. Anyway, I'm very proud of you, proposing to my daughter". "You saw that?" "Yes. When I'm in the Afterlife, everything Scootaloo sees, I see". "Wow. That's cool". "Yeah". "Hey, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said. "Yes?", Silver Spoon said. "I'm excited about today! But, why do I have the feeling that something will go wrong?" "Nothing will go wrong, Scoots. I think you're just remembering what happened during Princess Cadence and Shining Armor's wedding. Princess Celestia has Canterlot protected from changelings". "OK. That makes me feel better. So, why don't we go downstairs and go get some breakfast?" "We can't", Dark Cloud said. "Why not, Daddy?" "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna wanted me to keep you two upstairs until 12:00 today. They, along with Mrs. Sparkle and her friends are planning the wedding downstairs, and they want it to be a surprise to you". "OK", Silver Spoon said, "But what about breakfast and entertainment?" "That's where I come in. I'm going to take you two to get some breakfast, and then, I have a little surprise for you while we're gone", Dark Cloud said. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon smiled. Scootaloo was very happy to get to spend some time with her father again. About five minutes later, the three walked out of the castle. Dark cloud had blindfolded the two fiances so they couldn't see. Once the got out of the castle, Dark Cloud removed their blindfolds and the three walked off to enjoy the time before their wedding. Meanwhile in the Changeling Kingdom... Changeling Tiara (Diamond Tiara) was flying around the Kingdom, enjoying her new abilities. However, she was really flying happily because today was the day. The day of the SilverScoot wedding. Changeling Tiara was very anxious to crash that wedding and get revenge, but she had to wait. The wedding didn't start until 7:00 that day, and she still was thinking about what to do and how to crash. She knew she couldn't just walk into the Castle, since that would give her away and she knew she wasn't invited. Plus, she wanted to use her new changeling ability, but didn't know who to turn into. She decided to think about it over dinner. She was in her bedchamber, enjoying a big steak, trying to think about how to crash the wedding. She thought is was pretty simple, but, of course, it wasn't. She knew if she got caught, her changeling secret was exposed to all of Equestria. She was thinking about turning into one of the fiances and stop their marriage, but who? She wanted to turn into Scootaloo for "stealing" her best friend, but she also wanted to change into Silver Spoon for breaking their friendship. There were so many things that were tempting, but had consequences. At that point, she finally got her idea. She scarfed the rest of her steak and laid down in her bed for a nap to burn some time before the wedding. Canterlot, 6:00 PM... Scootaloo, Silver Spoon, and Dark Cloud had eaten at an All-You-Can-Restaurant, went bowling, and seen their theme of the wedding. The colors were light brown, the same color of Scootaloo, silver, the same color of Silver Spoon, and a lot of pink and balloons everywhere, just like the ShiningCadence wedding. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon had also gotten their dresses. Silver Spoon's dress was silver, grey, and white, with a massive number of multicolored gems. Scootaloo's dress was light brown, purple, and white, also with a massive number of multicolored gems. They both loved their dresses. Plus, Applejack had really outdone herself with the catering. Apple fritters, apple pies, caramel apples, and other apple treats. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon loved them, but Applejack was hoping the Canterlot ponies would like them. Silver Spoon and Scootaloo were up in their bedchamber, waiting for their wedding in one hour, and talking among themselves. However, they failed to lock the window, and all of the older mares and Dark Cloud were downstairs. They failed to see two changelings flying toward the window. Changeling Tiara and one of her changeling friends were flying toward the castle. "So", Changeling Tiara said, "You know what to do, right?" "Yes", the changeling said. They flew threw the window. Both mares immediately noticed them. "Changelings!", they said. However, their mouths were then clenched shut my magic. Changeling Tiara had used her magic to tie up the mares and keep their mouths closed. "Quiet!", Changeling Tiara said, "One more word and I'll cut your tongues out of your mouths". She transformed into her original self. Silver Spoon tried to speak, but was muffled. Changeling Tiara let go of her magic on their mouths. "If you yell, you'll lose your tongue". "Tiara!", Silver Spoon said fiercely, but not loudly, "You're here to crash our wedding, aren't you?!" "You're good", Changeling Tiara said, "By the way, you will call me Changeling Tiara. Diamond Tiara is dead". "Why are you a changeling?!", Scootaloo said, "And why do you want to destroy our special day?!" "Well", Changeling Tiara said, "That's simple. Fifteen years ago, when you and your two little crybabies stole my friend, you, do you know how upset I was?!  And you, when you decided to leave me and join her and her two other idiots, what were you thinking?!" "I wasn't going to be the friend of a snobby brat who uses me for popularity! I never wanted to bully Scootaloo and our other friends!" "Well, then you two became marefriends. I knew I couldn't let this be something personal, so I decided to expose you two. But of course, the class and Cherilee were happy for you! And now, you're marrying each other? Really?!" "Yes!", Silver Spoon said, "Because we want to tie our knot! Something that you don't know about. Maybe if you weren't a little brat, you would probably have some friends!" Changeling Tiara got steamed. "OK! That's it! You can leave me, you can make friends with babies, you can form relationships with chickens, but you never, EVER, try to tell me what I am!" Changeling Tiara's and the other changeling's horn lit up with a green aura. A dome of magic formed above the mares. Both mares tried to escape, but it was like a prison. "Oh, and don't worry. We'll 'keep watch' while you're away". She transformed into Silver Spoon and the other changeling changed into Scootaloo. After that, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were sent to the Canterlot Cave. The changelings went downstairs, smiling at how clever they were. (Important Note!: if you see "Scootaloo", or "Silver Spoon" in quotes, that's a changeling. "Scootaloo"=Random Changeling "Silver Spoon"=Changeling Tiara) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scootaloo and Silver Spoon fell into the cave. They both tried to escape, but couldn't. "I knew something bad was going to happen!", Scootaloo said, "When I get my hooves on Tiara I'll-!" Silver Spoon placed her hoof over Scootaloo's mouth. "Shh...", she said, "This isn't a time to express our feelings. We need to find out how to get out of here before those two take over our wedding". "Right". "First, we need to find a light". The two searched, but couldn't find a light. "We will get out of here, Tiara!", Silver Spoon said, "And then, we'll kill you!". The wedding... The wedding had started. "Scootaloo" and "Silver Spoon" had taken their places. However, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were still trying to escape the cave. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon could hear the bells and the music. "It's over!", Silver Spoon said, "It started! The wedding has started". She looked over at Scootaloo, who was over by a wall. "Scoots?" Scootaloo was banging a rock against a piece of metal and over a discarded piece of paper. "Hold on", she said, "I remember in school when we were doing science experiments, and then I accidentally exploded the beaker. I'm taking this rock to make a spark. Once this piece of paper catches on fire, this whole wall will explode". "Really? You're crazy. How in the wide world of Equestria are you going to-?" "DUCK!" Scootaloo tackled Silver Spoon. A loud bang was heard. The whole wall had exploded. "Told you!" "Whatever. I'll congratulate you later. We need to save our marriage!". Both of the fiancees left, eager to get some of Changeling Tiara. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Princess Celestia spoke to the "fiancees" while they stood there. However, right before she could say "I now pronounce you...", "STOOOOPPP!!!!" Silver Spoon and Scootaloo ran in. "Silver Spoon" tried to fake it. "Why is she ruining my special day?", she said. "Shut up, Tiara!", Silver Spoon said, "Don't try to act like you aren't trying to crash this wedding!" Everypony in the room said, "Huh?" "What's going on, here?!", Princess Celestia said. "Yeah!", Golden Spoon said from the audience. She wasn't going to have her sweetie's special day ruined. "They are changelings!", Scootaloo said. Both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna checked them. Positive. "Looks like we're exposed". They both took off their dresses and changed into there changeling selves. Rainbow Dash ran up to the alter. "Diamond Tiara!", she said, "Why are you here?!" "I'm am no longer Diamond Tiara! I'm Changeling Tiara! And I'm not going to allow this!" "Well", Celestia said, "I am. Now you have two choices: You can either leave now, or you can deal with me!" "You don't scare me, Celestia!", Changeling Tiara said, swinging at Celestia and knocking her out. "Big Sister!", Luna said. She started to shake heavily. Princess Luna was gone. Nightmare Moon was back. Changeling Tiara and the other changeling flew off and Nightmare Moon took after her. "We need to get to her!", Rainbow Dash said. She, Scootaloo, and Silver Spoon went off. Celestia got back onto her hooves and looked at the remaining Elements of Harmony. "Find the changelings and Luna, and bring them to me!", she said. "Yes, Princess!", they said, and took off. She then turned to a certain two other ponies. "You two do the same!". Celestia flew off after the changelings. The two other mares looked up. "We're coming, Scootaloo!", the beige-colored, Earth Pony said. "Yeah!", the white, Unicorn said. They both then said... "Because we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everypony who went after the two changelings, besides the two extra ponies, finally found them in the Changeling Kingdom. At that point, the two had stopped trying to get away. "End of the line, Tiara!", Nightmare Moon said. "Now", Celestia said, "You can come with us now and end this, or you can make this worse!" Changeling Tiara looked at her friend and smiled. They both let out a loud whistle. Within seconds, every single changeling in the kingdom, besides Queen Chrysalis, formed a circle around them. At that point the other two ponies had ran into the circle right before the circle closed. Scootaloo immediately recognized them. "Applebloom! Sweetie Belle!", she said, hugging her friends. "Hi Scootaloo", Applebloom said, "We can hug later. Right now, we have to deal with Tiara!" Changeling Tiara smiled evilly. "Now", she said, "All I have to do is give the command and all of you will be killed. All you have to is surrender Scootaloo and Silver Spoon to us". "Fine", Scootaloo said . "Just leave them alone!", Silver Spoon said. The two walked out of the circle. The changelings formed a dome around the two mares. "Any last words before you two die?", Changeling Tiara said. "Well...", Scootaloo started to say before she was interrupted. "HIYA!!" Changeling Tiara was then struck in her head by a hoof, causing her magic dome to dissolve and allowing the mares to escape. Dark Cloud had hit her with a hard karate kick. Scootaloo was surprised. "Daddy?!", she said. "Yes... I know karate", he said back. "Why didn't I know this?" "Well, it was kind of a secret". Another loud whistle was heard. Changeling Tiara commanded the other changeling to attack Dark Cloud and the other mares. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Dark Cloud, Silver Spoon, and everypony else took action also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After an hour, the only ponies standing were Scootaloo and Changeling Tiara. Scootaloo was shaking from the pain and anger. Changeling Tiara was bleeding from her mouth from internal injuries, but was still standing tall. Scootaloo was hurting too bad to move, which was a huge advantage for Changeling Tiara. She lit up her horn and pointed it at Scootaloo. "Goodbye, Scootaloo!", she said. Before she could even blast anything, her horn was grabbed by Scootaloo. With a furious grunt, Scootaloo broke her whole horn off of her head. Changeling Tiara screamed from the pain. "You snobby little brat!", Scootaloo said, "You already ruined my fillyhood, but you're not taking my special day away from me!" She pounced on her and used the horn like a knife, bringing it to Changeling Tiara's chest over and over again. With twenty whole stabs, it was over. Changeling Tiara had died. After the whole situation and the congratulating, they all went back to Canterlot to get cleaned up and resume the wedding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scootaloo walked down the aisle in her dress, and Dark Cloud walked with her. Scootaloo had a few tears running down her face, but was able to keep them hidden. She walked up to the alter and looked Silver Spoon right in her eye. Princess Celestia stood between the two mares as she spoke. "Mares and gentlecolts", she said, "We are gathered here today, in holy matrimony, to join Ms. Scootaloo and Ms. Silver Spoon in marriage. The mares will now say their wedding vows". Scootaloo went first. "Silver Spoon", she said, "I am happy today. We are finally tying our knot. I know we weren't very friendly when you were with Tiara, but that doesn't matter now. I'm very happy to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you, Silver Spoon!" Silver Spoon then spoke. "Scootaloo", she said, "I am also happy to spend my life with you, too. I still remember that sleepover at my house when you and I became marefriends. And, when I proposed to you at Lyra's Confectionery. I am very glad to finally tie the knot. I love you, too, Scootaloo!" Princess Celestia then looked at Scootaloo. "Ms. Scootaloo, do you take Ms. Silver Spoon to be your lawfully wedded wife until death do you apart?" "I do!", she said. Celestia then looked at Silver Spoon. "And, Ms. Silver Spoon, do you take Ms. Scootaloo to be your lawfully wedded wife until death do you apart?". "I do!", she said. Celestia smiled. "Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you mare and mare! You may kiss!". Scootaloo and Silver Spoon kissed each other, while the others cheered and clapped loudly. Celestia then whispered to Rainbow Dash, "Rainbow Dash, that's your cue". "Oh, right", Rainbow Dash said, flying out of the window. Then a loud boom was heard and a huge rainbow formed over the castle. Her Sonic Rainboom had been completed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were slow-dancing on the dance floor, while the other's were either dancing, eating, or just talking. Dark Cloud noticed Golden Spoon crying. "Ma'am?", he said to her, "Are you OK?" "I'm fine, Mr. Cloud", she said, "I'm just happy for my little filly". "So am I", he said. Spike was over by the punch bowl, having multiple glasses of punch and tons of cookies. Twilight came over to him. "Spike", she said, "If I were you, I would slow down on the cookies. Remember what happened last time?" "Yeah, yeah", Spike said. That's when her wife, Rarity, came up to her. "Twilight, Darling", she said, "They need you to sing on the dance floor". Twilight blushed lightly. "OK, Rarity". The party lasted for about two hours before Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were flown back to Ponyville in the Royal Carriage with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both brides fell asleep while in the carriage, so Princess Celestia carried Scootaloo to their room and Princess Luna carried Silver Spoon to their room. After tucking them in, they went back to Canterlot. In her mind, Scootaloo could hear Dark Cloud speak to her. "I'm very proud of you, Scootasweetie. I never thought I would see the day when my little filly got married. I really wish I could be with you again... forever... but I'll still see you in your dreams and, very rarely, in Canterlot. I love you, Scootasweetie. Sleep tight. Daddy loves you". Scootaloo spoke back to him. "Thanks, Daddy. I am very happy I' now married. But, I'm also very glad I got to see you again. I don't care where I see you, Daddy, as long as I get to see you. I too wish you could be with me forever, but at least I'll still have Rainbow Dash to look over me. I love you, too, Daddy. Have a good life in the Afterlife. See you in a dream. Scootasweetie loves you, too". //-------------------------------------------------------// A Forgiven Friend/A Slumber Party with Princess Celestia and Princess Cadence //-------------------------------------------------------// A Forgiven Friend/A Slumber Party with Princess Celestia and Princess Cadence The newly-wed couple both woke up at the same time. Looking at each other and smiling, they kissed, remembering their wedding the previous day. "That was an awesome night, last night", Scootaloo said. "Yeah", Silver Spoon said, "Wait, we did get married yesterday, right?" Scootaloo noticed two pieces of wedding cake wrapped in foil, their Certificate of Marriage, and a note from Princess Celestia on her bed-side dresser. She picked up the note and both mares read it. Dear, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon, newly-wed couple, Congratulations on you complete marriage! I am very proud of you! Luna and I took you home, and you fell asleep in the carriage, so we have left you a few pieces of cake and the Certificate with you. Anyway, to celebrate your marriage, I am allowing you two to stay the night in the Castle again, tonight. That is, if you would like to. It will just be me, Cadence and you, since Luna will be away on a Royal Visit for the night. If you would like to attend, please be at the Castle by 5:00 tonight. See you then!, Princess Celestia Both Silver Spoon and Scootaloo smiled. "We'll be there", Silver Spoon said. "Yep", Scootaloo said. At that point, the door bell rang. "I'll get it". Scootaloo got out of the bed, but not before receiving multiple kisses from Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon went into the bathroom, while Scootaloo went downstairs to answer the door. She opened it and almost fainted at who she saw. Diamond Tiara, her plain self, without her Tiara, was standing there. "Tiara?!" "H-hey, Scootaloo", she said. Scootaloo slammed the door shut, alerting Silver Spoon. "Who is it?", she asked. "Tiara!" "What?! But you killed her!" "I know". Scootaloo thought she was dreaming, so she opened the door again, then slammed it. Diamond Tiara was still there. After a while, she finally open the door fully. "Are you done slamming the door in my face, now?", she asked. Scootaloo tackled her to the ground. "I killed you! Why are you still here?!" "Y-you killed my changeling side. I was still inside of her". "I don't care! You have ten seconds to leave or I'll kill the real you!" Diamond Tiara started to cry. "P-please! Hear me out!" Scootaloo got off of her, but held on to her hind legs in case she tried anything. "Talk!" "Scootaloo, I'm sorry! I knew I shouldn't have tried to ruin your wedding and I'm sorry I was so harsh to you!" "How do I know you're just faking it just so I'll feel sorry for you?!" "Scoots", Silver Spoon said, "I think she means it". "I do!", Diamond Tiara said. I really do! I just want to make peace with you!" Scootaloo completely let go of Diamond Tiara and Diamond tiara stood up. She was afraid Scootaloo was going to hurt her, but instead of getting a hoof to the face, she got a hug from Scootaloo. "Diamond Tiara", she said, "Why did you tease me and my friends all these years? Why did you use Silver Spoon as a sidekick? Why did you try to crash our wedding?" "Because...", Diamond Tiara said, "I was actually jealous of you. You have friends and a big sister who loves you. You have a wife that loves you. I don't have any of that stuff. I was an only foal, I don't have a mother, I'm single with no foals, I'm lonely, and my dad hates me. He took my tiara and smashed it when he found out I tried to ruin a wedding and tried to befriend changelings. I... I wanted you to be miserable just because I was, and I needed help with that, so I decided to use Silver Spoon as my sidekick to make Blank Flanks feel bad for themselves. I... I'm sorry!" Diamond Tiara fully broke down after telling her secret to the two mares she tried to ruin the lives of. Silver Spoon joined the hug. "Diamond Tiara", she said, "If you wanted friends, all you had to do was ask. Making others feel bad for themselves and using other ponies as sidekicks will only make ponies hate you". Diamond Tiara looked up at them and smiled. "Scootaloo... Silver Spoon...?", she said. "Yes?", the mares said. "I want to know... could we... start over... as friends?" Scootaloo and Silver Spoon smiled. "Yeah, Diamond Tiara", Scootaloo said. "Friends?", Diamond Tiara said. "Friends!", Scootaloo and Silver Spoon said, hugging Diamond Tiara tightly. After a while, they all let go. "So...", Silver Spoon said, "Maybe you should get home. You look exhausted". "I... I don't have a home", Diamond Tiara said. "Why not?", Scootaloo asked. "I don't have a job, I'm broke, and the only other option is living with my dad, but I can't stand to be around him anymore, after what he did with my tiara". "Well...", Scootaloo said, "Why don't you live with us?" "That's tempting, Scootaloo", Diamond Tiara said, "but three's a crowd. I don't want to take up space". "Uh... Tiara", Silver Spoon said, "We have two extra guest bedrooms and three bathrooms. I think you'll be fine". "I... I... Yes. I will". Scootaloo and Silver Spoon allowed Diamond Tiara to enter their house. Diamond Tiara couldn't be happier with her new home and new friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4:45 PM... Diamond Tiara had passed out on the couch, while Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were getting ready for their special night. After ten minutes of getting ready, they left for Canterlot. Once they got to Canterlot, they went to the Castle. The guards that protect the front door allowed them to enter and they did. Princess Celestia and Princess Cadence were in the dining room, having dinner. "Hello Scootaloo, hello Silver Spoon", Celestia said to them. "Hey, Scootaloo, hey Silver Spoon", Cadence said to them, her voice sounding a little weak. "Is she OK?", Scootaloo asked Celestia. "Don't mind Cadence", she said, "She just has a little headache. I gave her some medicine that should work in about an hour. In the meantime, please, have a seat". They did and Celestia ordered the kitchen to bring out two more plates. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon both got a plate containing a large hayburger and a side of curly hay fries, and a tall glass of Sprint soda. While eating, the mares talked among themselves. Cadence's headache had gone down and she was able to talk fine. "So", she said, "Congratulations on your new marriage". "Thanks, Cadence", Scootaloo said. "Your welcome, Scootaloo. Your wedding brought back memories at mine and Shiny's wedding". "I'm sure it did", Silver Spoon said. "So", Princess Celestia said, "On to other plans. Cadence and I have arranged private events in the Castle to celebrate your recent marriage". "Private?", Silver Spoon asked. "Yes, meaning it will be just you, Scootaloo, Cadence and I. We trust you will enjoy them". "So, it's kind of like a slumber party?", Scootaloo asked. Cadence smiled. "You could call it that", she said. "When do we start?", Silver Spoon asked. "Right after dinner", Celestia said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After dinner, the slumber party had begun. Aloe and Lotus Blossom, the Spa sisters, had been payed by Celestia to provide a private spa treatment. Aloe and Lotus were giving the four other mares massages and mud mask treatments. "So", Celestia said, starting a conversation between the two, "I heard from Dark Cloud that you and Tiara made up. Am I correct?" "Yeah", Silver Spoon said, grabbing the cucumbers off of her eyes with her tongue and swallowing them, "She's not evil anymore". "She just had a bad life", Scootaloo said, her voice at a light strain from the pressure from Lotus walking on her back. "I would say", Cadence said, "She's just lucky she wasn't around me during the wedding or I would of-!" Cadence was cut off when a few hot rocks touched her back. "*sigh* You know what I mean". Scootaloo giggled. "Yeah, I do". She grabbed the cucumbers off of her eyes and swallowed them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the Spa treatment and paying Aloe and Lotus, the four mares then started the massive part of the party. The four mares were in the secret Mare Cave that only Celestia, Luna, Cadence, or anypony else permitted, were allowed inside of. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon were playing Pac-Mare, Celestia was playing darts, and Cadence was having some snacks over at the snack table. Celestia hit the bulls-eye and went over to Scootaloo and Silver Spoon, who had finished their game. "Having fun?", she asked them. "Yeah!", Scootaloo said. "I had no idea you had a room like this!", Silver Spoon said. "It's secret", Celestia said, "Only Cadence, Luna, and I are allowed, unless we allow somepony else otherwise". "Wow". Scootaloo looked over at Cadence, who was stuffing her face with brownies. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon went over to the table to join her. Celestia chuckle and resumed playing her dart game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the game time, the mares were at Canterlot Pool, swimming for a while. While swimming, Scootaloo had gotten an idea. She swam over to her wife, who was practicing her synchronized swimming. "Hey, Scoots", she said. "Hey, Silver Spoon", Scootaloo said, "I need to ask you something". "Yes?" "Does the water feel warmer to you?" A few seconds later, Silver Spoon had swam to the farthest end of the pool. Scootaloo, Celestia, and Cadence all laughed out loud. Silver Spoon then laughed, finding the joke funny. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To end the awesome party, the four mares had gone bowling. Scootaloo bowled and scored a prefect game. She smiled. bowling was starting to bring back memories pf her Cutie Mark Crusader life. Silver Spoon bowled a strike, scoring another perfect game. "Another perfect game!", she said, "Mare, I love bowling!" "Try these clothes on for size!", Cadence said. She tossed the bowling ball up into the air and bucked it, sending it flying over the lane and into the pins, knocking them down. The others cheered. "Whoa!", Scootaloo said, "That was awesome! How did you do that?!" "It was just a little something my brother used to do, before he became a snobby idiot". "You mean, Blueblood?" "Yes". "I still can't believe he treated Rarity like that at the Gala. I hear she's still picking cake out of her mane". "I know, Sometimes, I wonder why he's even a prince". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cadence and Silver Spoon had fallen asleep, but Scootaloo and Celestia was still up. Scootaloo was writing a letter to Dark Cloud, and Celestia was going to send it to him. After a while, Scootaloo had finished. After kissing the letter, she gave it to Celestia and Celestia sent it. After that, the Pegasus and Alicorn got into bed. "Goodnight, Mom", Scootaloo said, "I love you". "Goodnight, Sweetie", Celestia said, "I love you, too". //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo's Bad Life(So Far) //-------------------------------------------------------// Scootaloo's Bad Life(So Far) Ever since her father died, Scootaloo has been living with her mother. However, she has always been treated like roadkill ever since. Her mother, Light Cloud, has always blamed Scootaloo for the death of her husband, Dark Cloud. Scootaloo knew that he accidentally stabbed himself when cooking for her, but of course, Light didn't care. Scootaloo wished she could see her father again, that he would divorce his wife and take Scootaloo back. Her mother would always starve her, call her rude names, and would abuse her, even if it wasn't for a reason. Scootaloo was abused if she ate with out permission, if she wet the bed or had an accident of any kind due to the fact that she gets abused so much, she has poor control over her bladder, even if she hit a wall in anger or frustration. Today she had just left school and was with her fellow Crusaders. "So, y'all got any ideas", Applebloom said "I don't know Applebloom", Sweetie Belle said, "We've tried 57 times. Yeah, I've been counting". They both looked at Scootaloo for an idea, who was walking with her head held low. "Scoots?", Applebloom said, "Ya okay?" "Y-yeah", Scootaloo said, "I-I'm fine" "Any ideas on how to get our cutie marks?", Sweetie asked Scootaloo. "Bungee Jumping?", Scootaloo asked "Naw", Applebloom said, "Applejack would kill me if ah tried that". "We could try helping Aloe and Lotus with the Spa!", Sweetie said, sounding excited. "Sweetie Belle", Scootaloo said, "Remember what happened last time? I hear Twilight is still picking cement out of her tail." "Oh, Right", Sweetie said. "Ah just don't know what we could be good at", Applebloom said sounding disappointed. "Lets go home", Sweetie said, "Rarity is probably waiting for me anyway" "OK", Applebloom said, "See ya later". Scootaloo walked home as slow as she could. When she got home she looked around. Not seeing her mother, she sighed in relief. A loud rumble came from her stomach. She was starving, but she had to ignore it. She went up to her room, closed the door and laid down in her box. She sleeps in a box. Her mother told her she wont get a bed until she stops having accidents, even though she knows about Scootaloo's bladder problems. The box was stained and reeked of urine, but she had to ignore it. She fell asleep in about thirty minutes. After an hour of resting, her stomach had a crippling pain. It was so bad, it woke Scootaloo up. She decided to go eat something. But right when she got into the kitchen, her jaw was connected with a hoof. She looked up to see Light Cloud standing there. "You were late, weren't you?!", She yelled to Scootaloo "No", Scootaloo said, trying to ignore the pain in her jaw. "Liar!", Light yelled, kicking Scootaloo in her nose, causing it to bleed heavenly, "YOU ALWAYS LIE. JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!!!!!" "I'm telling the truth!", Scootaloo said "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!" Scootaloo started to cry. Blood still pouring from her nose. She felt a sudden warmth down by her hind legs. She looked down to see a yellow puddle forming on the floor. "YOU PISSED ON MY FLOOR AGAIN!!!!", Light said, "CLEAN IT UP!!!!" "OK", Scootaloo said as she went to the bathroom to get a towel. But before she could take two steps, Light stopped her. "Where are you going?!" "To get a towel" "YOU'RE NOT USING MY TOWELS TO CLEAN THAT UP!!!" "What am I supposed to use?" "Use your tongue, it's your pee". "What?" "DO IT!!" Scootaloo knew she had to do it or there would be a bigger puddle on the floor. She bent down and began to lick it up. It tasted horrible, making her retch during every lick. After five minutes, the puddle was gone. "GO TO BED" Scootaloo ran up to her room and closed her door very gently, not wanting to have Light think she slammed it. She laid down in the stained and smelly box. She cried herself to sleep, wishing some pony else would take her in. //-------------------------------------------------------// Rainbow finds Light //-------------------------------------------------------// Rainbow finds Light The next day... Rainbow Dash finished clearing the skies for a normal sunny day. She laid down on her cloud and was about to take a nap before she heard a familiar voice. "RAINBOW DASH", the voice called. She looked down to she Applejack signaling for her to come down. She flew off her cloud and landed in front of Applejack. "What's up, AJ?", Rainbow asked "Yesterday", AJ said, "Applebloom told me that something was wrong with Scootaloo". "What do you mean?" "She said she looked like she was hiding something. And she had a huge bruise on her flank". Rainbow Dash put two-and-two together. "Is she..." Luckily, Scootaloo was walking right in front of the two mares. "Hey, Rainbow Dash", she said. "Scoots", RD said, "I wanna talk to you". "Really?" "Yeah, AJ, could we be alone for a minute?" "Sure, Sugarcube", Applejack said as she turned around and went back to Sweet Apple Acres. "What is it Rainbow Dash?" "Scoots, are you being abused?" Scootaloo's pupils shrank. "Uh.. no" "Then where did that bruise come from?" "Um..." "Please, tell the truth" "Yes, Yes", Scootaloo finally said, breaking down in tears. "By, who?!" "My mother, Light Cloud" Rainbow Dash almost collapsed in anger. Light Cloud was her friend in high school. That is, until Light ditched her for Dark Cloud. "Take me to her" "OK, Rainbow Dash" After ten minutes, they reached Scootaloo's home. When Rainbow Dash opened the door, she saw her. Light Cloud saw Rainbow Dash too. Both only said one word. "Rainbow Dash..." "Light Cloud..." //-------------------------------------------------------// Rainbow's Revenge //-------------------------------------------------------// Rainbow's Revenge Rainbow Dash was trembling. Not with fear, it was pure anger. "It has been a long time, Rainbow", Light said with an evil smile. "It has", Rainbow Dash said, still trembling. "What brings you here?", Light Cloud said, "and what are you doing with my pathetic daughter?" "She told me what you do to her", Rainbow Dash said, "She told me everything". Light Cloud looked at Scootaloo with fire in her eyes. "Why You!!!!", she said, running at Scootaloo. However, before she could do anything to Scootaloo, her nose was connected with a light blue hoof. "If you hit her, I will kill you!", Rainbow Dash said, trembling harder with anger and aggression, "I'm taking Scootaloo with me and I'm pressing charges on you for foal abuse!" Right when she turned around, she a cocking noise. She looked at Light, who was holding a crossbow. "Give her back", Light said, "or I will stab you in your heart!" "Never!" Light Cloud shot another arrow, but this one missed Rainbow and hit the wall. Rainbow Dash sprung to her hooves and struck Light in her temple, knocking her out. "See you in court", she told the unconscious Light Cloud. She looked back at Scootaloo, who was trembling with fear and started to wet herself. Scootaloo noticed herself peeing and started to cry with embarrassment. "It's okay, Squirt", Rainbow Dash said hugging Scootaloo, "I'm here for you" "I wet myself", Scootaloo said, "It's embarrassing. I can't control it. I've been hurt too much. I've been this way ever since I was five!" Rainbow Dash felt a tear come to her eye. She felt really sorry for Scootaloo. "Why has Light Cloud been abusing you?" "She blamed me for my father's death. My daddy, Dark Cloud, accidentally stabbed himself while cooking, and he bled out. She knows that and takes her anger out on me!" "Why haven't you told any pony yet?" "I was scared. I thought if I told, she would hurt me even more." Rainbow wiped her and Scootaloo's tears from their faces. "Scootaloo", Rainbow said, "I can't let you live like this" "What do you mean", Scootaloo asked. "I'm gonna adopt you" "Really?!", Scootaloo asked, sounding excited. "Yes, you're gonna be my little sister" Scootaloo started to cry again, but this time with happiness and excitement. She hugged her future big sister. "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!" "No problem, Squirt. Umm, we need to go see Twilight and ask her to have Celestia and I talk about this". The smell of the urine reached Rainbow's nose, making her wince. "And we need to get you cleaned up" "OK Rainbow Dash" Rainbow Dash put Scootaloo on her back and flew to Twilight's library. All Scootaloo could think about right now is the joy of her new life and how her new sister was going to treat her.
