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.
