Chapter Two: Dusk Breaker Is A Washout?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After leaving Sweetie's house with her homework finished for tomorrow she had less to worry about while flying home. She'd been staying at RainbowDash's place for the past year and a half now due to how much closer it was to the school and it was a dream come true for her. The pony she idolized more than anypony ever, the fastest and the embodiment of awesomeness Rainbow Dash. No matter how many times she'd think about it she still squee-d on the inside. Even if Rainbow wasn't home all the time due to being a Wonderbolt she needed somepony around to take care of Tank while she was gone. Scootaloo was the first to step up to do it. All she had to do according to Flutter Shy was feed Tank twice a day and make sure he moves around. That and take Tank to see the butter pegasus every month for a check up.

Opening the door and going inside she jumped onto the cloud couch and snuggled herself in. There was no couch in the world as comfy as a cloud couch and everypony knew it. She was trying to put off reading the journal but she glanced at her bag that was unceremoniously dropped next to the couch. Now normally it would have sunk through the floor but Sweetie put a spell on it for her making it so her bag never fell through the clouds. She didn't even want to think about why Sweetie did it for her in the first place. To save herself from thinking about that day she reached over and pulled the old journal from the bag and looked it over with a critical look. "A pony that not even Sweetie knows about huh? Maybe I should listen to her and actually read it to find out who this Dusk Breaker is..." Heaving a hefty sigh she flipped open the cover starting to read.

I honestly don't think I would have stayed sane, without those two in my life. More yet, They've always been more of a success than me. Actually Iron, got his cutie mark way before Ivy and I did. It took Ivy maybe a month of hard work but she got hers too. I felt left behind for about a year there, and I got picked on for being a quote on quote 'Blank Flank'. Yeah real original that phrase will probably die off in a few decades.

But honestly enough about that, I suppose I should right wright more about myself even if that is a little egotistical. Oh right, I didn't even say that I was a Pegasus. Well I'm jet black with grey eyes and my mane is usually all over the place, don't really care much about styling it. Yeah, yeah your probably thinking but how are you going to impress any mares like that? That's actually a pretty good point, as of right now I'm not looking. I suppose i should actually start telling about what actually happened today.

Date: August 23 543 C.R.

Today was a... bad horrible alright day all things considered. You'd think being kicked out of school would be the worst thing in the world right? WRONG. Today actually felt great, I didn't have any worries today. At least until I got home. My father went ballistic for maybe all of an hour but then settled down after mom got home and told him to shut up. She'd asked me what had happened with school. I told her that I didn't think they could teach me anything I REALLY needed to know to be what I wanted to be. Sure there was some things I'd need to research myself and yeah it would be harder without a degree but I got my heart set and I wasn't going to change my mind.

Now you'd probably think she'd be pretty upset right? Nope, she started laughing. Yeah laughing! after a minute or so she stopped and said I reminded her of when she was young and did the same thing. She washed out of school and now she's got a management position at the weather factory. She wasn't all too upset and she told dad to lay off me and in the long run they'd have more money now that they didn't have to pay for me to go to my last year of school. Dad really perked up at that.

Oh, I should probably take a note of my parents names in here, My mothers name is Harmony Stream, and my father's is Titus Valann. Just in case someone other than me was interested in looking them up in the future although thinking about that seems kind of stupid. Like anypony would be interested in me or my parents that'd be a monumental waste of time.

Scootaloo slammed the journal shut in her hands and sighed, she was bored outta her mind! She needed something to eat. Speaking of food, feeding Tank and making sure that she got him moving around for at least a little bit before she tried to pick up the journal again.

A few hours pasted before Scootaloo looked over at the journal again. There it was, resting right where she left it. Only it was wide open and not on the page she left off on either. It had to be near the middle. It was a little creepy that it was open now. She looked around the room then realized she left the window open when she left the house this morning and went over and closed it. "Geez, Scoots you are getting really jumpy for no reason. There is no way some book opened on its own that's impossible." She turned around and her eyes got wider than dinner plates as the pages flipped on their own.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not going near the journal. Nooooo way in tartarus was she gunna go near that couch again. She was tired that's it! Yeah. She's by no means a crazy pony! She was going straight to bed and she'd just return the book to Twilight in the morning and tell her that she wasn't interested in reading it anymore. Yeah that's the plan.
