Bolted Hearts

by RedAllex
If she was built by ponies to act like ponies, who's to say Scootaloo can't feel like other ponies?

Since the day of her creation, Scootaloo has been plagued with difficulties. Though society had come to mostly accept her, it didn't mean they had to socialize with her. She had fought with all of her might just to gain the friends she had and now she was burdened by the fact that she could not feel anything from her success.

Rarity and Twilight could only program so much into her processing units in order to simulate emotion, and she was now beginning to question whether or not she was able to feel certain emotions at all. It would take the combined effort of her closest friends and a few unlikely ones to assist her in this challenge.

Could she come to feel joy, love, and even fear if all she did was considered a result of someone's creation? Or was she doomed to feel alone and empty within this shell she called a body?
