Chapter 1 - It's not for me... or is it?
"C'mon Twilight! Hurry! Let's go and get started!" Said the CMC pulling and pushing Twilight into her own library. Twilight did promise the fillies that they can try out each other's lessons from their special Twilight Time and see what they can do. The girls ran inside leaving Twilight trailing behind them.
The girls raced inside the library and got out the things that they needed. Twilight came trotting in and sat down to talk to the fillies about what they will be doing today. She let the girls make their own decision, they wanted to try out each other's lessons.
"I'm gonna try magic tricks!" Said Applebloom, jumping up and down and then sat beside the magic box.
"I'm going to try Scootaloo's mech...um...mech.....mechanical stuff!" Sweetiebelle squealed, her horn bursting with little sparks. She quickly ran over to the unicycle and picked up a wrench and a hammer.
*sigh*"I guess I'm with the potion thing...not that I didn't want it" Scootaloo said, gently hovering over to the potion stand with a light scowl on her face. She sat down and looked away from Twilight and her friends. Twilight came over to them one by one to explain how to do their talent choice.
Scootaloo was last to be told what to do, but the other day she had watched Applebloom do some potion mixing. She said to Twilight that she knew what to do and that no teaching was required. Twilight just shrugged her shoulders and left Scootaloo to do her thing. She looked around, Twilight was reading a book, ( a really, really big one! ) Sweetiebelle was covered in oil and and had bits of tricycle parts in her mane, Applebloom was using an invisible unicorn horn to lift a broom* and Scootaloo was sitting over beside a bookcase, staring at a potion stand.
Twilight walked over to Scootaloo and picked up an empty bottle and gathered some liquids and herbs. She sat down beside the filly and gave her the instructions book.
"It's not that bad Scootaloo, just because you're last sometimes doesn't mean that you can't be the best at your choice." Twilight said picking up the pot of water and putting it on the fire to boil. Scootaloo looked up at Twilight, she nodded and got off to work. The filly had no idea what potion she was going to make, but all she knew was it was going to be the best.
Scootaloo looked at the ingredients around her. And this is what she picked up :
One cup of honedew,
Two dashes of rainbows,
A drop of herbal essence, ( mint )
And...
One feather off of the fillys wing.
She mixed them all together in a boiling hot water potion bottle and it went a very luminous orange color. Twilight came over to the other fillies and checked to see how they were getting on. Sweetiebelle had spent about fifteen minuets on her choice, getting out all the oil in her mane and Applebloom was doing fine with her magic tricks, that is until the majestic force** had lost concentration.
Twilight then came over to Scootaloo to see her potion, she didn't want to show her until the filly was finished her marvelous creation. Twilight understood that Scootaloo was learning, so she left her.
Scootaloo had soon finished her potion. But she really wanted to impress Twilight. The filly thought. Was it safe to do so? Will Twilight giver her into trouble? Or... Will she be pleased? Scootaloo thought. She made sure that no one was looking, and drank the potion.
She didn't feel like anything was wrong, but that was only for a while...
Scootaloo ran to a corner and felt a little sick. Twilight noticed her in the corner with her head down. The purple mare was curious to know what was wrong with her. She came up to Scootaloo and asked if she was okay. Scootaloo nodded in reply, but then sharply turned away, feeling sick again.
Applebloom and Sweetiebelle were still trying to do their lessons, but they then stooped to see Scootaloo in the corner looking away from every pony else. They both stopped and walked over to their filly friend.
" What's goin' on Twilight?" Applebloom asked, turning to Twilight after looking at Scootaloo to see what was wrong with her. Sweetiebelle walked closer to Scootaloo and asked her,
" Are you okay Scoots? You don't look so promising." Sweetiebelle patted Scootaloo on the back and sat beside her. Scootaloo's face didn't look to good and that's when Twilight asked the filly,
" So Scootaloo, what did happen?" Twilight made one of her serious business faces and it looked like Twilight wanted an answer. Scootaloo turned around and cleared her throat,
"Well..." She said, taking a deep breath. Twilight knew how long this was going to be because of the giant deep breath that the little filly just took.
"I was making potions like I chose to (well didn't really ) and I really wanted to impress you and so I decided to drink the potion and see what it did and when I drank it I felt fine but now a feel really, really sick....."
The little filly was really out of breath but she spoke really quietly so that no pony could her her. Twilight still had her serious business face on, it looked like she didn't catch a word that Scootaloo just said.
"Um... Scootaloo could you please say that again?" Twilight dropped her serious face and sat down to hear the filly. Scootaloo 'tried' to speak up.
I was making potions like I chose to (well didn't really ) and I really wanted to impress you and so I decided to drink the potion and see what it did and when I drank it I felt fine but now a feel really, really sick....." That was Scootaloo speaking up.
"What did you say?" Twilight asked, moving closer to the filly to hear what she was saying.
"I said......" Scootaloo replied.
I was making potions like I chose to (well didn't really ) and I really wanted to impress you and so I decided to drink the potion and see what it did and when I drank it I felt fine but now a feel really, really sick....."Scootaloo probably didn't know how loud she had just spoken ( or shouted ) to Twilight and her friends. Sweetiebelle ( Who was still beside her ) was lying on ther floor with a stunned look on her face, quickly got to her hooves and ran back to where she was sitting. Applebloom ( Who was further away from Scootaloo than Sweetiebelle ) was also lying on the floor with a stunned face, ran back to where she was sitting too.
Scootaloo sighed and walked back over to the potion stand, she was still feeling sick. While she was walking back... the last thing she did... was faint on the floor...
Sweetiebelle ran over to Scootaloo.
" Hello??? Scootaloo? Are you dead? Oh my gosh! I think she's DEAD!! AHHHHHHH! " Sweetiebelle was running around, screaming round the library, Applebloom decided to join in too...
I don't think they know that every pony in Ponyville can hear them...
Twilight thought.
