Day two

                                                                  Day two: snowed in

   Waking up, I looked out my window and saw it was snowing. HEAVY. I figured that I better get to Sweetie belle’s quickly, So that I can be snowed in there, instead of this dreadful place. I hopped on my scooter, and raced down the street. To my surprise, I found diamond tiara, Silver spoon, and thunder wing. “We sure are glad you moved here, thunderwing.” “Oh look! Its scootaloo!” “Hows it going blank flank?” they all chuckled. “Where the other cutiemark cry babies?” “They are not here! And for your information my cutie mark is to the least of my concerns!” I yelled back. “Would you like me to fly up and bust some clouds for you? Or, you could do it yourself!” Thunder wing said, glancing back at diamond tiara and silver spoon “Oh! I forgot you don’t know how! That’s why you ride around on your pathetic little scooter! You know your parents could teach you! Wait… They’re dead!” They all laughed. “I’ve had enough of you guys bringing that up,” I said as I burst into tears “It’s not funny at all that they are dead, and that’s none of your business bringing that up! It’s enough to poke fun at the fact I can’t fly, but the fact that my parents are dead! That’s just a step beyond crude!” Diamond tiara, and silver spoon where stunned into silence, but thunderwing, decided to the extreme. She flapped over to me, “Have a nice walk!” She said as she broke my scooter. “… My scooter” I whimpered. “MY SCOOTER!!” I yelled. She was too far to hear me, however rainbow dash wasn’t, so she took me to her house. We got snowed in, so I never got to see the CMC, but I spent the entire day with rainbow dash. She got me a bed set up, And I slept over.

Day three

                                                    Day three: A Christmas alone, with rainbow

   It’s Christmas, and once again, I’m all alone! Except… I’m not alone, I get the whole town to celebrate with, yet nopony in the town does. I’ll just walk to Sweetie belle’s like I was supposed to do yesterday… “Scootaloo! It looks like we are snowed in! We’ll have to spend Christmas together” Rainbow dash said, “I’m making pancakes!” “Okay… I guess I don’t have a choice!” Looks like I’m spending Christmas with rainbow dash!!! I sped down stairs, and started eating my breakfast, “What where those three fillies, up your throat about scoot? You know that it’s okay if you can’t fly, right?” She said “Well, it’s just that… they were talking about my parents, and they… broke my scooter…” I mumbled “Well! Then you’ll be happy to know what I got you for Christmas!” “You got me something?!?!” I excitedly chimed in “All the shops are closed, so how could you possibly get me…. Well… Anything!?!” “Well, it used to be mine, but I fixed it up, and decided to give it to you!” She said “Go ahead and open it! It’s under the tree.” I dashed over to the tree, ripped the paper open, and there was a brand new scooter!!! “Thank you SOOOOOOO much Rainbow dash!!!” I yelled giddily. For the first time in a long time, I feel at home… “Ummm…. Rainbow dash, I was… well…. Wondering,” I murmured “Well? What? Spit it out!” She said “Would you adopt me???” I Yelled “Well…. I don’t know…. Let me check” She said. Please say yes, please say yes, PLEASE SAY YES “Of course!” Tell ya’ what, when this snow melts, I’ll sign those forums!” he said “Oh!!! Yes!! YES!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!” I yelled. We spent the rest of the day planning, about what it will be like, according to pony news on 4, we could go outside tomorrow! The snow was already melting, and it would go down enough to open our doors! Went to bed in my room, and couldn’t go sleep at all! I was bursting with anticipation!! I spent the night watching, and watching the snow melt, revealing water, which I watched freeze into ice!

Day five

                                                                Day five: along for a happy ride

  “Scootaloo! Wake up! You have school today!” Rainbow dash hollered. Shoot!!! School I completely forgot! I quickly through on my saddle bags, and ran out. As I walked to school I ran into apple bloom, and sweetie belle… literally. “what gives?!” the both asked “Sorry guys…” I said “Hey! Why weren't you at sweetie belle’s?” Apple bloom asked “Yeah! We had hot cocoa, and discussed our plans!” Sweetie belle chimed in. “Well… I kinda got snowed in at rainbow dash’s and… She kinda… Sorta… Adopted me.” I said modestly. “ADOPTED YOU!?!” They both yelled “yeah! I’m adopted now!” We walked into the school and spent the entire day, talking about the fact that I’m adopted now. I walked home, and Thunderwing was no where in sight, now I’m just along for a happy ride for now, my hardships are gone and that’s, when I got my cutie mark! I can’t tell what it means though… Oh well…

                                                                                 THE END

Epilogue

   It’s been five years, and I still can’t fly… I also can’t figure out what my cutie mark means, but… I think it means acceptance, and happiness. Because that’s What I’ve done. I’ve accepted that I can’t, and never will, fly. And now I’m happy.

backstory

  I still remember that day as if it where only yesterday, the day when I belonged to no pony. when I was alone, forever. when I watched my parents die in front of me, when I could have done something, but I was too scared to move. It felt like I was just sitting there being forced to watch the horror happen in front of me, that happened 3 years ago, and the tears still flow. Just like that day. It was a fateful, summer morning, mom was baking pancakes, dad was reading the ponyville times, just a perfect day! not only that, but it was the day I got to learn how to fly “DADDY! CAN YOU TEACH ME NOW!” I yelled excitedly “Now, now scootaloo, go get ready, then I’ll teach you.” He replied “But DADDY!” “Scootaloo!” “fine…” I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my hooves, and walked out. I saw some stallions, in the room, I didn’t know who they were, so I stayed put. They then proceeded to killing my mom and dad… and I just watched them… crying…

Day one

                                                   Day one: Remembrance, and hardships

  I woke up in my room of the orphanage, stumbling around, as I managed to grab my bag. It was the last day of school, before Christmas break, one of the many I’ve spent alone. Off to school, at least I’ll see apple bloom and sweetie belle. probably my only friends. Today is also adoption day, where we can be adopted. sadly nopony will adopt me, like usual, who wants a pegasi who can’t even fly! At school, I spent nearly all day talking to Apple bloom and sweetie belle. On my way out, some of the other pegasi fillies, where flying home, one of which, decided to stop and “chat” with me. “Oh! Why aren’t you flying? Oh! You don’t know how! I forgot, I mean, even though its kinda obvious, you know cause’ you walk and all,” thunderwing said as she fluttered above me “Why not get your parents to teach you? Oh wait… They’re dead, and nopony will adopt a sad, flightless, blank flank. You know… like you!” She fluttered off and then soared off to who knows where her house is. It started to rain as I walked the two and a half miles to the orphanage. “Just great!” I sighed pathetically, Like my usual useless self. I can’t even fly, so I can’t do pegasi jobs, I’m weak, so I can’t do many earth pony jobs, and I’m not magic, so I can’t do unicorn jobs. Any jobs that remain are useless. By the time I got to the orphanage, I looked like crap, I was muddy, soaked, crying, and my hair was tangled, and everyponyelse looked nice or adoption day, this decreased my chance of adoption even more. My chance was like -59% less than worthless. After an hour or so, of miserable, harsh judgment, misleading statements, and whimpering, I was once again not adopted, I went to bed.

Day four

                                                              Day four: flying on my feet

   Rainbow dash, flew me over to the orphanage and signed my approval forums, and I was hers now! I packed up my stuff, and walked it over to rainbow dash’s place. “Well, kid! Here’s your room! Why don’t you get set up, and come down stairs, I’ll teach you how to fly!” Rainbow dash addressed. Oh boy! I’m going to learn how to fly! Its going to be so fun! I quickly hung up my posters, and made my bed, when I walked down stairs, rainbow was already to teach me how to fly, so I slipped on my scarf, and coat. We walked out to the park where rainbow dash started instructing, She flew atop a tree, and said “Now don’t overthink it! Spread out your wings and gently flap, and that should pick you up” I took a deep breath and jumped off, spread out my wings, and began to flap. She was right, It kept me from falling, but I was Scarcely an inch above the ground. “I… I think I’m doing it!” I called up to rainbow dash. “Good job sport! Just keep practicing! I’m Going to go get our Picnic set up!” she replied. She flew over to a spot under the tree, and started setting up! I climbed up the tree again, only to see thunderwing looking at me, and laughing “How pathetic! You need to get a head start, and you can’t even lift yourself off the ground! Well, at least now we know that you are capable of flying, but you just Can’t!” I ran through the process again, and she was right, I can only fly on my feet. I walked over to rainbow dash, and ate lunch there. Before we knew it, it was dark. So rainbow flew me home, and I went to bed.
