Snore...Snore
The alarm clock rang.
"Ah! I'm up! I'm up!" A cyan colored hoofed peaked from the left side of the cover, then it drooped down.
"5 more minutes, please!" A hasty tone muttered.
Then the alarm clock spoke, "Wake up, as I command! You'll never be a wonderbolt at this state!"
Then a pegasus burst out of the bed, with blood shot eyes, and covers flying everywhere. She yawned deeply, and flew over to another bed, loosely made with wood.
"Scoots? Kiddo? It's time to wake up!" Rainbow Dash said.
There was no reply.
"She probably went to Twi or Flutter's house. No big deal."
Rainbow went toward her bathroom. She looked at the mirror, seeing a mess that Rarity would defianatly disaprove of. She carefully picked up her comb, brushed her mane, and flew out the door. She rushed toward Ponyville, flying down towards Twilight's castle. It was different seeing the old tree being burnt, but the castle was defianatly a improvement and looked awesome. She landed at the window and watched. There was indeed, Twilight and Scootaloo.
"Oh, hello Scootaloo. What brings you here?" Twilight asked friendly.
"Nothing." The pegasus filly muttered.
"Looking for a book?"
"No."
"School project?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
Scoot sighed, "promise you won't tell anypony?"
"Pinkie promise!" Twilight said with a wink.
"Well, you see, I am..."
"What?"
"I am a orphan..."
"WHAT? But you said you had parents?!"
"I did. Atleast, I hope I did."
"Oh Scoots, it isn't a good thing to lie. Is there anything I can do?"
"I was wondering if you knew a spell to bring back my parents, or show me who they were!"
"Gee, well, I do know one spell. But it was in "Star Swirl's Book of Unused Spells, Rewritten". It has never been tested before. I don't know..."
"Oh, come on Twilight! I just have to know!"
"Fine. But only if you help me straighten up my library tommorow."
"Alright, alright, now get on with it!"
Twilight transported to her book shelf. She searched every shelf, looking for that specific book. She finally spotted it out of the corner of her eye, and levitated it toward herself.
"Here it is. Chapter 2000 of 40002, page 4000."
"Oh, get on with it!" Scoots complained.
Twilight focased hard, and her horn began to glow. Dark clouds swirled around the room, forming some type of square. There, magic began to show a story.
Rainbow watched in amazement outside. She boomed in, clomping over Twilight.
"Eh, sorry?"
Twilight huffed and got up, watching the magic do its job.
The screen showed a golden pegasus, with a large, fluffy, orange and yellow mane. Then, with a wink, a light blue pegasus with a grey mane walked up to her.
"Hey, that looks like Spitfire!" Rainbow said.
"And that looks like Soarin'!" Scoots replied.
The two couldn't keep their eyes off of the images placed before them. None of them noticed that Twilight was struggling to keep her magic in control. Her eyes turned white, and her wings burst out.
"Oh no, not again!!!" Rainbow shouted.
The ponies flew against the room as the library exploded. It didn't really damage anything, but Twilight had fell unconicious.
Rainbow nudged her, "Hey, Twi, get up."
She immediantly woke up with a start.
"Agh!!! My library! No-No-No!!!!" She freaked out.
Scoots paid no attention to the two mares walking about.
"Hey, kiddo, you okay?"
"I am fine, actually. But how could ponies as awesome as the Wonderbolts abandon me?"
"No idea either. It is rather strange, epicially since Soarin' and Spitfire are really close." Twilight said.
"Dash?" Scoots asked.
"Yeah?"
"I want to go see them."
"I have a better idea," Twilight insisted.
"Why don't we invite them here and talk to them?"
The two ponies nodded their heads.
"Spike, take a letter!"
Spike tumbled down the stairs.
"Yes, your majesty?"
"Spike, do not call me that!"
"Uh, sorry."
Twilight told Spike everything he needed to write, and in the meantime, Scoots stood silent towards the window.
"Why?" She sighed.
Rainbow walked over to her, seeing that she was now crying tears.
"Hey there, there's no need to cry-"
"Yes there is! The ponies that you and me have always looked up to are my parents! They gave me away, don't you understand? We can't be sisters anymore!"
"Scoots, we will always be sisters, no matter what. Now, dry those tears up!"
Scoots sniffed up her tears and walked to the door.
"I am going for a ride." She said.
She trotted away, and Rainbow stared blankly at her.
"Where could she be going?" Rainbow thought, but her silence was broke by Twilight's voice.
"Rainbow, wake up!"
"Huh, wazzat? Oh, Twi! What is it?"
"Deliver these letters to the mail pony as fast as you can."
"I'm on it Princess!" She picked up the two letters and zoomed off.
Twilight walked over to her throne.
"Today is going to be a long day." She sighed, and levitated her favorite book toward herself and began to read.
Spike walked up toward her with a confused look.
"So Spitfire and Soarin are Scootaloo's parents?" He asked.
"Well, yeah. She had to know eventually, right?"
"I think that was almost too much for her to know. Imagine being a filly and finding out who your parents are!"
"I do suppose it was a little harsh, but nothing too tough. If she ever needed help, she could always talk to me or Rainbow."
"But what if Spitfire or Soarin don't like her?"
Twilight placed her book down and wanted to hit Spike really hard.
"They couldn't hate their daughter, Spike. It would just be wrong."
"But they still could! And imagine what Dashie would think!"
"That too..."
"Spitfire is very ill tempered, and so is Soarin'. Good luck talking to them is all I could say."
She sighed and picked up her favorite book again.
