Chapter 1
It was around the afternoon in Ponyville and Scootaloo was hanging out with Rainbow Dash and the cutie mark crusader in the park. She had managed to hover in the air for about thirty minutes. Rainbow Dash had been training Scootaloo to fly, even saying that maybe someday, she could even join the wonderbolts! Dash was like a big sister to Scootaloo; they went practically everywhere with one another! Today Scootaloo had some exciting news for her friends and her honorary big sister.
Bouncing up and down in excitement, Scootaloo began. “You girls won't believe it! My mom said that tomorrow me and her will be able to hang out together. Y’know, since she's always too busy with work in the weather factory,” Scootaloo said as she walked over to Rainbow Dash, who was just sitting on a bench. Scootaloo sat down next to her sister, and Rainbow Dash drapped a wing over Scootaloo.
“What about your dad, Scoots?” Rainbow Dash asked, a little curious. She knew Scootaloo’s family was always busy, but scoos had never mentioned where her father worked. She only knew Scootaloo’s mother due to working with her on weather duty.
Scootaloo blushed, her
sister just asked were her father works, and Scootaloo has never told them. “Well...he works at the rainbow factory, and he gets paid a lot of bits, Dash. Well, he only gets paid ten bits an hour… but that’s still a lot!” Scootaloo said as she hopped off the bench to be next to her friends.
“Wow, Scoots, that’s so cool!” Applebloom said as she and Sweetie Belle gave their friend a small hug. They both knew her parents had to work a lot.
The sun was starting to move down, and Luna’s moon was beginning to rise, just barely poking out of the horizon.
Rainbow Dash jumped off the bench and said, “Okay, girls, it looks like it’s about time you fillies to be getting on home.” She turned to scootaloo. “Would you like me to take you home, squirt? I don’t want your mom worrying about you
much.”
Scootaloo dragged her forehooves in the dirt. “Aw, Rainbow! My mom doesn't come home until, like...12:00 at night! That’s why she always has Cheerilee foal-sit me!” Scootaloo said, hopping on Rainbow’s back, ready for her to take her home. “See Ya guys soon.” Scootaloo waved goodbye to her friends.
Once Scootaloo wrapped her hooves around Rainbow Dash’s neck, Rainbow prepared for lift off. The fresh night breeze in her face made it so perfect for her.
Rainbow Dash landed in front of Scootaloo’s huge home. It wasn't that long ago that Scootaloo’s parents bought this new upgraded home.
Scootaloo jumped off of Rainbow’s back. Grabbing a key from in her saddlebag, Scootaloo opened the door and was greeted by Cheerilee who was sitting in a chair in the living room drinking a small glass of cider Scootaloo turned to the door. “Bye, Dash” Scootaloo said, shutting the door behind her.
Cheerilee heard the door shut. She got up and walked towards the now open door were Scootaloo stood. “Ah, you’re home. Did you have fun with your friends?” Cheerilee asked. She and Scootaloo have been bounding a lot recently. Though, she could never tell any of her students that she watched Scootaloo when her mother was gone--it might embarrass the little filly.
“Oh, it was fun! We tried getting our cutie marks by...uh, painting Diamond Tiara’s house a rainbow color, but it didn't work,” Scootaloo said as she made her way up the stairs.
“Scootaloo, wait,” Cheerilee called from the bottom of the stairs.
Scootaloo was about to open her door, but turned around. “What is it, Miss Cheerilee”? Scootaloo asked.
Cheerilee signed--all she really wanted was to ask if she was hungry, but instead said, “Nevermind. Goodnight, Scootaloo,” before walking off to the couch, waiting for Scootaloo’s mother to come home.
Scootaloo opened the door to her room. She was an only child, yes, but Rainbow Dash felt like a sister to her. So, she at least had that. Scootaloo dropped her saddlebag next to her Rainbow Dash plushie and wonderbolt wallpaper--her mother had bought them for her a few years ago, when she wasn't always this busy.
Scootaloo jumped into her bed, pulling her green covers over her body. She then rolled over to her left side to try to go to sleep. For tomorrow is going to be one of the best days of her life. After what seemed like forever Scootaloo was eventually snoring softly.
The next day came with the sun rising. Scootaloo awoke, blinded by the sunlight, struggling to get up. Scootaloo slapped her hooves to her face. “Ugh! So tired! But I need to get up; today me and mom will have so much fun!”
Scootaloo pushed her blankets off, not even bothering to fix them. Scootaloo then walked over to her door, turned the knob and began walking down stairs. Once down, she turned and walked into the kitchen.
There, standing (and making what looked like pancakes), was Scootaloo’s mother. She was a pegasis, her mane was a light purple, as well as her eyes. Her cutie mark was of a tornado and her name was Dizzy Twister.
“Good morning, sweetheart!” Dizzy Twister said as Scootaloo took a seat at the table, waiting for her mother to finish making the food. After several minutes, their food was done. Getting some plates out, Dizzy Twister placed three pancakes on them and brought one next to her wonderful daughter and the other one on the other side of table. “Are you ready to have a fun day?” Dizzy Twister asked, smiling.
Scootaloo poured syrup over her, pancaked her ears twitched as she heard her say something “Oh yeah, mom, I can’t wait to hang out with you,” Scootaloo said with a wide smile and she picked up a fork and started digging in to her pancakes, several of the syrup droppings getting on her mouth and dropped on her legs. Scootaloo finished her meal and blushed at the sight before her. “Whoops! I’m sorry for making a mess, mom...” Scootaloo said sadly, seeing as her mom finished her food without making a mess.
Dizzy Twister just smiled. “Aw, it’s alright, Scootsy,” she said, picking up a napkin and wiping her daughter’s muzzle and her little legs. After finishing that, she threw the napkin away. “So, Scootsy, what did you want to do today?” Dizzy Twister asked, smiling at her daughter.
The little filly buzzed her wings excitedly. “Well, I was hoping we could ride our scooter at the park, then maybe prank somepony! Ohh, and then get some ice cream at Sugarcube Corner!” Scootaloo said as she stepped right next to her mother, who was putting her saddlebag on.
Dizzy Twister chuckled. “Sounds like somepony has a list for us today,” she said looking out the window. “Say, honey? How would you like to go to Cloudsdale today and see the Wonderbolts perform?” she said with a bright smile.
Scootaloo buzzed her wings like a hummingbird. “Really?! That’d be so AWESOME!” Scootaloo yelled out of pure excitement.
“Well then, Scoot, let’s do your stuff first. I mean, the show doesn't start until 8:00 pm.” Dizzy Twister opened the door and the two left towards the park.
The two eventually made it. Dizzy Twister soon realized that she’d forgot her scooter “Oh, dear. I’ll be right back, sweetheart. I forgot my-” she was interrupted by her daughter who held up two scooters Nevermind,” Dizzy Twister said as she took the scooter from her daughter's hooves. “Thanks for bringing this, sweetheart”.
Scootaloo stood there for a moment watching as her mother rode the scooter like a pro, she was a lot better than Scootaloo but Scootaloo still tries her hardest to become a little better. Scootaloo jumped on her scooter and rode off after her mother who seemed to be a lot faster.
Scootaloo and Dizzy Twister were neck and neck with one another passing by most of the colts and fillies, Scootaloo was hoping to win this time but her mother swooped right past her onto the finished line and won. “Aw, you beat me not fair,” Scootaloo said as she pouted.
Dizzy Twister nuzzled Scootaloo “Oh don’t feel bad, Scootaloo. I’m sure with alot of practice maybe someday you will beat me,” Dizzy Twister said as she smiled at her daughter.
The other fillies and colts were cheering like a wild crowd. Scootaloo looked up at her mother trying to hide the tears. “I guess you're right,” Scootaloo said.
Scootaloo wiped her eyes and said “Yeah, I understand, mom.” Scootaloo returned the hug. She and her mother continued to scooter for about two hours longer and eventually Scootaloo beat Dizzy Twister, only because her mother went easy on the filly.
It was around 5:00pm when the two left the scooter park. Next the two were headed off to Sugarcube Corner to have a few ice creams and just relax. They only had four hours ‘till the Wonderbolts show started, so why not hang out at Pinkie Pie’s place for awhile.
The two entered the shop and were greeted by Pinkie Pie. “Ohh, company. Goodie,” Pinkie said bouncing behind the counter. “What may I get for you two?”
Scootaloo took a seat next to the window while her mother took care of the order, unfortunately a certain pink filly walked into sugar cube corner.
Diamond Tiara noticed the filly and saw that Scootaloo’s mother was busy which meant she could strike “Well, well, well. If it isnt the flightless blank flank,” Diamond Tiara said, hoping her teasing would get on her nerves.
Scootaloo frowned sure Diamond Tiara called her flightless but none of that truly bothered her anymore. “Yeah whatever, Diamond Tiara. Why don’t you just go bother someone who actually cares,” Scootaloo said turning to the window.
“What? How dare she say that to me; I’m the best filly in ponyville,” Diamond Tiara thought to herself as she stepped a little closer to Scootaloo. “Oh well at least shes got a chichkin as her daughter have you laid eggs for her yet.” Diamond Tiara said giggling at her own joke.
Scootaloo couldn't hold it much longer tears were swelling down her cheeks. “Sh-Shut up,” Scootaloo managed to get out before she hit her face on the table to try to block out all of Diamond Tiara’s taunts.
Dizzy Twister’s ears twitched as she saw her daughter crying and a pink pony that her daughter told her about. Her face became one of anger. She marched on over to Diamond Tiara and tapped on her shoulder.
Diamond Tiara felt somepony tapping on her shoulder. “What, can’t you see I’m in the middle o-” she stopped talking realizing the the one standing behind her was none other than Scootaloo’s mother. And she did not look very happy.
“Let me guess, you're that spoiled rich brat that my daughter keeps telling me about, correct?” She only received a nod from Diamond Tiara. “Well then let me tell you now, if I ever, EVER, catch you or find out you are bullying my daughter or her friends again I’m going to tell your father. I’m pretty sure he won’t be too happy and I want you to apologize NOW,” Dizzy Twister said still a little angry.
Diamond Tiara gasped; if her father found out then her allowance would be cut short, or worse; she wouldn't be able to hang out with Silver Spoon any more. Diamond Tiara gulped and ran over to Scootaloo and said “I’m s-sorry for what I-I said to you.” She then galloped out of sugarcube corner.
Dizzy Twister’s face softened and she came next to her filly, picking her up, cradling her like a foal. “Shh, it’s ok; shes gone and I don’t thank she will never do anything like that again, sweetheart,” Dizzy Twister said, setting her daughter down.
Scootaloo calmed down, wiping her eyes with a hoof. “Th-Thanks, mom.” Scootaloo gave her mother a big hug just as Pinkie came with their ice cream.
“Here you go,” Pinkie said as she put three sets of ice cream down. Two chocolate and one sunday. “I Hope you enjoy, and I got you a sunday, Scootaloo. I know your mom only wanted me to get two ice creams but you deserve it.” Pinkie Pie said bouncing away.
The mother and filly were enjoying their ice cream together, talking, laughing and other fun stuff. Soon they finished and just in time for the Wonderbolts show.
Dizzy Twister and Scootaloo waved good bye to Pinkie Pie, Pinkie tried begging them to stay; she wanted them to play with her a little more but they had to leave to cloudsdale to see the Wonderbolts show.
Dizzy Twister lowered her body low enough for her daughter to jump on, Scootaloo jumped onto her mother’s back and wrapped her small hooves around her mother's neck as they took off for Cloudsdale.
“Are you excited sweetheart?” Dizzy Twister asked as they approached Cloudsdale, the wonderful city of the mighty pegasis. From where they were they could see the Wonderbolts Stadium.
Dizzy Twister landed on the soft cloud right next to the stadium. Scootaloo tried jumping off of her mother but was quickly caught in her hooves. Scootaloo looked up to her mother. “Why did you do that?” Scootaloo asked.
Dizzy Twister placed Scootaloo on the soft cloud gently and let her go. “Sorry, Scootsy, I just didn't want you to hurt yourself; even if you are a pegasis, clouds do have their limits.” Dizzy Twister looked at the stadium. The sign said it opens in twenty minutes. Dizzy Twister let out a soft sigh. “Looks like we got time to do a few things while we wait, so what'cha want to do, kiddo?”
Scootaloo looked up to her mother with sparkly eyes and said “Can we just sit down with on a cloud bench somewhere?” Scootaloo asked with pleading eyes.
Dizzy Twister reached a hoof down and put it on Scootaloo's chin making her look into Dizzy Twisters purple eyes. “Of course sweetheart,” she said as they went off to the bench that was seven meters away from the Wonderbolts arena.
The two sat down. Dizzy Twister was on the bench then she reached her hooves out and laid her daughter on her lap, Scootaloo didn't mind.
There was silence between the two for more than a minute. Scootaloo and Dizzy Twister hardly ever talked to one another, but Scootaloo decided break the silence.
“So,” she began, “how’s work?” Scootaloo asked a little nervous asking her own mom about work, Scootaloo was rubbing her hooves together patiently waiting for her mother to answer.
Dizzy Twister smiled, bent down and started tickling her filly on the stomach, it was after all her weakness. “Aw, you don’t need to be scared to ask your mom anything Scootaloo, who’s mom’s big, strong, tough filly?” she asked as Scootaloo released tons of giggles as her mother continued her tickle attack.
Scootaloo didn't see this coming. She looked up to her mother, her eyes had tears coming out of them as she tickled her “P..Please mom I…...I” Scootaloo stopped her laughing in realization that her mother had stopped tickling her a minute ago. Scootaloo started blushing.
“Any way, sweetheart, my job is fine. Not like I do anything fun, besides move clouds all the time,” Dizzy Twister said though she wanted to get closer to her daughter in a mother and daughter relationship, she knew Scootaloo would get bored fast.
Scootaloo sighed and got off her mother’s lap and looked her in the eyes “That's all you do? Seriously?” Scootaloo asked, annoyed. “It sounds boring when. I grow up I'm going to join the wonderbolts and be faster than Rainbow Dash,” Scootaloo said excitedly, buzzing her little wings.
Dizzy Twister smiled at her daughter; she was so full of energy and no matter what anypony tells her, she always believes that she will fly one day. Looking back to the stadium she saw it was finally open. Picking her daughter up and placing the filly on her back, she galloped over to the stallion that she would give the tickets to.
“You two may go in,” the ticket receiver said, pointing to the door as it opened for them to enter.
Dizzy Twister lifted her daughter and held her tightly in her hooves so she wouldn't fall. Up to the top cloud seat in the stadium on the left side, Dizzy Twister placed Scootaloo on the seat next to hers.
The others flew in style doing a 360 degree circle with Soarin and Spitfire in the lead. Then they flew in different directions, to the left and right, creating a tremendous firework.
Scootaloo was very exhausted after the show ended.
The fireworks were being held outside the arena. Dizzy Twister sat down on the ground as did all the other adults. Scootaloo sat down on her mothers lap.
The fireworks launched into the sky as different colors were being shown. “Ohh, ah” could be heard from the crowd watching the display.
Scootaloo looked up to her mother and yawned “Hey, mom, are we going to be able to hang out again soon?” Scootaloo said as she tried getting comfortable as she was starting to fall asleep.
Dizzy Twister looked down at her filly and smiled. “We shall see, sweetheart… Maybe one day when your wings grow a little bigger, Fluttershy, Dash and I can teach you to fly,” she said as her daughter seemed to have already fallen asleep.
Dizzy Twister put her daughter on her back gently and flew back home.
“I love you…..mommy” Scootaloo said as she started snoring softly.
