Dear Diary
First things first, I'm not writing in this idiotic book because I want to, the lady at the Orphanage gave us it and said we have to write in it every day, and write all of our deepest, darkest secrets in it. She promised that she wouldn't read it, whatever, her promises mean nothing, she'll just find them and tell everypony anyway. But im still going to write them in here, I mean, I need someone to talk to, and besides, it's not like anypony will actually believe her.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Scootaloo, I'm a young filly who's going to be a member of The Wonderbolts when I'm older, I'm great at most sports and riding my scooter, but I still haven't got my Cutie Mark yet. I can't fly yet, but I'm sure I'll be great at it once I learn how to, and Rainbow Dash will teach me soon. OH YEAH! I forgot to mention the best flyer in Equestria, my big sister Rainbow Dash. She's the best sister a filly could wish for, it's a shame I don't live with her, it would be better than living in this dung hole of an Orphanage.
I should probably introduce my friends as well. I have two best friends at school, the first of my BFF's is a shining white unicorn with a soft, pink and purple mane named Sweetie Belle. She's absolutely brilliant at singing, I'm kinda surprised that singing isn't her special talent! She hasn't found her Cutie Mark either, but she's a little luckier than me, as she lives in a fairly rich household, unlike me, I live in an ancient looking Orphanage owned by a nasty, horrible old mare named Grey Sky.
My other best friend is pale yellow coloured Farm Pony named Apple Bloom. She lives in an Apple farm with her unimaginably large family, the Apple Family. I swear, everything in that household is Apple related, even the names of the family members! Their names include Apple Bloom, Applejack, Granny Smith, and tones more strange, apple related names. Kinda weird if you ask me. Anyway. Apple Bloom is the founder of our super-duper amazingly awesome club, The Cutie Mark Crusaders! We're the only three members of our gang, except for Babs Seed, but she lives a long way away so she doesn't come to many of our meetings. In our gang we do a bunch of really fun activities, in hope that we will get us our Cutie Mark. We haven't succeeded yet but at least we have fun doing it.
I should probably talk about my school life too. Luckily for me, I go to the same school as Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, and I'm also lucky to enough to have the best teacher EVER, Miss Cheerilee. Unlike most students at my school, I love going to school everyday, I mean, It's not like I have anything to look forward to after school. One time I tried staying at school so I wouldn't have to go back to the Orphanage, but one of teachers caught me and sent me home, and then Grey Sky ~~beat me~~ punished me for being late home, so I don't think I'll be doing that again.
Oh yeah I forgot, there is one thing I don't enjoy about school, and that is two of the fillies in my class. Their names are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, them two dumbos just wont leave me or my besties alone because we haven't got our Cutie Marks yet. I usually don't let it bother me much, but sometimes they can really just dampen my day, but they're nowhere near as bad as stupid old Grey Sky. They only bother me because they really seem to upset Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, especially Apple Bloom, and I really hate seeing my friends sad, also, cheering Apple Bloom up is extremely hard.
I guess I don't have much to complain about my school life, and I have nothing else to say about it, so I should start writing about my life outside of school again. Well, I live in a small room in a horrible looking Orphanage, owned by a an incredibly ancient, chubby mare named Grey Sky, she's really mean to us, but she's not in the building much, because she's almost always at The Pub. Even though being in a home alone sound kinda fun, it's not, we usually just stay in our rooms because if we break anything or get any stains on the floor, or even if we get a drink without her permission, she will find out, and the culprit doesn't come clean she'll just beat us all up, and if the culprit comes clean they get beaten up too. Then she tells us not to tell anyone or she'll beat us to death, so I don't take any chances with that. Anyway, if Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon knew I lived in a place like that she'd probably bully me even more!
There aren't to many rooms in the Orphanage, so I have to share my room with a colt named Shady Daze, he has a dark blue mane and he's cloudy blue everywhere else on his body. Since he's a bit older than me, he knows a little more about the place than I do, and he usually gives me advice on how not to get caught doing stuff in the Orphanage, although it usually just gets us beaten up. He makes an ok friend, but sometimes he can be quite annoying, and he's certainly more troublesome than me, but that just gets him hit by Grey Sky more, but he doesn't seem to care about that, I dunno, boys are weird.
So that's pretty much what my life is like. I can't really be bothered to write any more, and it's bed time now, and if we're caught awake after bed time, well, you can easily figure out what will happen to us, so goodbye. I'll write again tomorrow.
Author's Note
Just saying I'm probably not going to write again tomorrow, I'll be writing this when I feel like it so you won't get too many updates on this fic.
You may be wondering about the name of this fic, well... it will be more relevant in other chapters.
Dear Diary
Today was pretty bad, like, really, really bad! I woke up to see Grey Sky staring furiously over me. And she told me and Shady Daze to follow her. So we followed her orders, until she led us into a small closet. Then she hit me round the head with her handbag, I was wondering why she did this, because she usually only beats us for doing bad stuff, but then she told us that her necklace had gone and that we were the last people in her bedroom. To be honest, we were the ones who stole it. I know It was a bad thing to do but her necklace looks really pretty, and I thought she deserved to have something stolen from her. So I got used a favor that Shady Daze owed me, and got him to steal it for me. I was going to give it back, I was just going to use it for today, because today was Diamond Tiara's party and everyone in our class was invited, even me! I thought that I needed to wear something that looks good so that I could impress the brat. So I thought I would borrow Grey Sky's necklace. I don't know how Grey Sky found out that I got Shady to steal it though.
So then Grey Sky beat us for at least ten minutes! But I didn't feel guilty, all I could feel at that point was a large pain, that left me with a feeling similar to the feeling when you touch fire. When the beating stopped we were sent out of the closet. I had to help Shady get out because one of his back hooves were now broken, Grey Sky had beaten him so bad that I could hardly recognize him! His left eye had become black, and about a quarter of his mane had been pulled out, drops of blood from his broken hoof were dripping onto the floor, and tears were falling from both of his eyes. I think that was the first time I had ever seen him cry, It was certainly the worst beating he had ever had!
Luckily for me, Grey Sky beat me less badly. So I could still walk and open both of my eyes. I helped Shady into our room and put him on his bed. Then walked into the bathroom to see what I looked like after the beating. I didn't look too bad, the only injury's I had on my face were that a half of my mane had been pulled out and a couple of bruises! I looked at the clock to see that Diamond Tiara's party had started, but I couldn't go looking like this! I put a hat on to cover up my pulled out mane, and bolted as fast as possible over to Diamond Tiara's house.
The party was kinda fun, for a while. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom were there, they were wondering why I looked so rough, I didn't answer though. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon took off my hat, and saw my terrible looking mane. So I ran back to the Orphanage before they could make fun of me. But now that I look back at it, they didn't look like they were about to make fun of me, they looked more like they pitied me.
Nothing else that was interesting happened today, I mean, for the rest of the day I had to look after Shady Daze. It turned out that he had cracked his head open, so I had to take him to the hospital. The lady at the welcome desk looked surprised that we didn't have an adult with us, but she surprisingly still allowed us into the hospital. I guess I have some alone time in my room now. So...that's ok, I guess.
I guess I'll write again tomorrow,
