Chapter 1
Lightning forked the sky, drowning out the dreaded noise of rain tapping against the library window for a couple of seconds.
Startled, I cowered next to a book case.
“Twilight? Could you get me the book, quickly? I need to get home before the rain turns into hail...”
“Sorry, Aurora... I need to look herder for it! One sec!” The unicorn said as she rummaged through some more books. “AHA! Here it is. It's been hiding from me, I swear!” She laughed.
“Thanks a lot, twi!”
“Now, Aurora, I need you to tuck it under your wing so that you dont get it wet, okay? Its a classic!” She blushed at her nerdiness.
“umm. Sure, but how will I fly home?” She was about to say something, but I cut her off. “Ill figure out something.”
I trotted out the door, tucking the book under my wing. Then, galloping out into the hellstorm, I yelled just for the fun of it.
Charging through the rain at a breakneck speed that might just match rainbow dash's, I ran. When I got under cloudsdale, I cowered under a tree and thought.
Then, after a moment of thinking, I grabbed the book out of my wing, still warm and hugged it to my chest. Then, I took off to the sky, the book staying completely dry.
As soon as I broke the surface of the clouds, the sun hit me. It shone, covering the cloud city in afternoon light. I laughed. Ponyville was having the storm of their life, while above, cloudsdale was bathed in light.
I charged for my house, laughing some more. I navigated myself through the cloud city, finally landing on my rear hooves on my porch. Dropping the book and getting on all fours, I tucked my wings. Then, I grabbed the book back up with my wing, neatly tucking it in my soft, yellow feathers.
Trotting inside, I greeted my mom without turning my head.
“hey mom.”
“Hi, Aurora! Ya hungry? Your dad's gonna be home soon!”
She was a pretty mare, looking exactly like me exept for her eyes. They were the colour of fire, unlike mine, which were sea blue. Her eyes scorched and blazed, highlighting her distance features.
“nah. I got some reading to do!” I said, lifting my wing up and showing her the book.
Once I was safely under the covers of my bed, I opened the book.
As Daring Doo trept through the tropical jungle, the wet heat zapped her energy, and slowed her every step.
If only she could escape this appressive atmosphere, and fly up into the cool blue sky. But her crash landing in the jungle had injured her wing, and she was grounded for a few days.
Few days. It might as well have been a few months. Or a few years!
The mosquitos buzzed loudly. The maccaws cried from the high trees.
Yet, all of these distracting noises were not enough to cover the sound of the predators following her every step.
I wiped sweat from my forehead, and out of my light blue mane. Rainbow dash was right. This was an amazing story.
Right as I was about to read the next word,-
“Aurora!” My mom called. “Your father's home!!!!”
Sighing, I picked up the book and crept out of the covers. Dropping the book on my nightstand, I spread my wings and flew down the stairs to meet my dad.
“na-a-a! What did I tell you about flying through the house? Go back up the steps and WALK down calmly. There is no need for us to sound like a heard of geese.” My mother scolded.
Ignoring her, I flew over to my dad. He was a fine stallion, With an aqua coloured coat, and the same mane as me and my mom. I hugged him.
“How was your day of work, dad?” I asked.
“You wont find out untill you go back and walk down the stairs.” My mom complained with a smile.
“aww, let her off the hook for once!” my dad said. “you know how much she loves to fly.”
“yeah, yeah...” she muttered. “come and have some dinner.”
Around the dinner table we three pegesi sat, stuffing our faces. Pegesi were alwayes hungry. No matter what.
The food was good. My mom's awesome carrot mush, wich sounded gross but was the best thing you ever tasted.
For desert, we had mint leaf ice cream, which was my most favourite dessert. Dad talked about his work, how hard it was to bring the heavy, water filled clouds to rain over ponyville.
Clouds were very stubborn, sometimes raining without a kick. That was very frustrating indeed, because then they would run out and have to be filled again in the nearest pond. It was very frustrating when you got a mad cloud.
So, while my mom and dad got carried away in other talk, I slipped away into my room. Deciding that I was not tired yet, I punched a hole in my wall. It was small enough for me to slip in and out.
I flew along Cloudsdale, and then, deciding that it was not that interesting, I changed course, pointing my hooves downward to ponyville. Downward I went, slowly ascending.
When I got to the ground, I folded my wings and trotted over to a place I knew well. The weather seemed to have calmed down quite quickly, leaving the ground wet, but not the air.
A pond, small and simple was there. But, unlike some ponds, this one had inhabitants. Small frogs and snails, even some little fish.
The pond was in a small field that was dotted with daisys. They were really nice. (tasting, of course.)
I went there that day and sat down. It took me quite a while to get there, and I rested on the bank, breathing heavily.
“hello pond.” I said, as if it would respond.
The pond rippled from a fish moving fast, but other than that it stayed silent.
“today was.. pretty nice. Like any other day, I guess.”
The fish in the pond moved around some more, creating disturbance in the pond's surface.
I grew bored of the pond soon.
Spreading my wings, I took off into the night's sky, loving the dizzy feeling of flying. I flew over the rooftops of ponyville, not making a sound. I flew torwards the sunset.
After a while, my wings began to tire, and mild pain shot through them on every stroke. Pushing on, I kept in the air.
I liked testing my endurance, to push myself further and further. It was nice, knowing that the pain only builds stronger wing bones.
I finnaly landed on a hill that seemed to be built for sunset watching.
Settleing myself down onto it, I watched the sky light on fire.
Half hidden by another hill, the sunset's colours seared through the night's sky, burning the clouds and the far away horizon. Orange and red and yellow and pink was all I saw. It was the best sunset yet.
I sat there, drinking in the beauty of the sunset untill the fire in the sky calmed. It deepened colour, turning a deep blue. So deep, it was hard to tell weather it was black or blue or purple.
Snapping out of it, I realized that mom would be coming in my room to tuck me in any moment now. Just as I stood up and untucked my wings, a voice stopped me straight in my tracks. It was mocking, stretching out the 'o' in my name.
“aurooooooora!!” It sounded mean. “Were are you going?”
I turned around to see three stallions. They were buff, looked about a couple of years older than me. These bullies liked to beat up blank-flanks like me.
One was orange, the other was grey and the third was brown. Their cutie marks were all some sort of an athletic tool. A basket ball, a baseball bat, and a hockey stick. They were all pegesi.
“You have a playdate with my fist!”
I gulped.

Chapter 2
The one that spoke now took a step torwards me, the other two flanking him.
I took steps in the opposite direction, slowly but surely, and facing them.
I stumbled on words. “Umm... hi, guys! H-how are you? I've just gotta go, because you see...”
“Nah, dont go, blank flank! We just want some fun!!!” the brown coat said. There were circles under his eyes, and his breath smelled fowl, like beer.
“F-fun?”
“oh yeah” the orange one said.
“just some fun” The grey one grinned.
In a flash, the brown one had flown behind me, and they had me cornered. The brown one took a step torwards my flank. I turned around, scared because evrywhere I turned, behind me a stallion took a step forward.
It was'nt long before there were close enough to touch. One slapped my flank.
“G-get away from me, now.” I said.
“Aww, showing some courage, arent we?” The brown one said. He appeared to be the leader.
He reached out and pulled my mane. Shrieking, I bucked in his direction. I missed.
He grabbed my leg, and the other two did also.
I was standing on one leg, struggling furiously. I beat my wings upon the air, nearly lifting one stallion up.
“woah, hold on to her, she's a strong flier.” The grey one said.
Grinning at this comment briefly, I flew even harder.
The three stallions grabbed on to one leg, puling with all their might. I fell onto the ground.
Grabbing a rope from who knows where, they bound my wings to by back. I got a few flank slaps and mane pulls for struggling. Every time I cried out from flank slaps, they laughed and slapped harder.
I blew out through my nostrils. The warm air came like steam.
Finnaly, when they bound my mouth, I decided to take charge.
One grabbed my hind legs and started to tie them. I bucked furiously, wondering what would happen if I was'nt strong enough to fend them off. Heck, maybe I was'nt!
This time, I hit a stallion straight in the face. He cried out and took a few steps back. It was the grey one I hit.
I struggled on the ground, somehow leaping to my feet. My wings and mouth were bound.
I galloped with all my might away from them, leaving them stunned.
Kicking up dirt, I ran torwards the town and ran into the closest store I found.
It was a candy store. The pony at the counter shot me a look of alarm, and ran over to me. She undid my bounds skillfully with her pink hooves. She was a mare, with pink fluffy hair that resembled cotton candy.
Seing my bruised flank, she shot me a look of pity and backoned me over to a shelf. She pulled it over and hid me behind it.
Then she ran back to the cash register, right as three stallions flew in. One had buck marks on his face, neatly printed.
The pink cashier looked at me, and I nodded the slightest bit. She looked over to the boys and put on a smile.
“howdy! What brings you to sugarcube corner, boys? Hungry for some sweets?” She said in a bouncy voice.
“have you seen a butter-yellow pegasus? She has this... wierd turquoise hair.” He looked meacingly at her.
“Oh, yes I have!” I nearly choked on air when she said that. “She ran out that way, torwards the fountain in town square. Why?”
I let out a breath. She looked too happy to betray me. We were gonna be friends.
“no reason.” The orange one said as the other two flew out the door.
They were gone.
Coming out of my hiding place, I thanked her.
“Gee, thanks for saving my flank out there!”
“oh, it looks like it's already ruined.” She replied, pointing.
I looked. There was a bruise about the size of a cutie mark.
“ooh, that's gonna take some explaining to do...” we said at the same time.
We laughed.
“Well, you should go! They might come back... by the way, my name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie. Pinkie Pie.” She said in her cheery voice.
I was sad to leave her, but she was right.
“okay then, Pinkie.” I tested her name on my tounge. “ill see you later then? I can come visit here...”
“Sure! Now, scootle your bootle!”
“okay, bye!”
“bye!”
Heading out the door, I waved and took off into the sky.
Shooting like a bullet, I arrived home quickly without seeing the stallions.
When I got home, I realized that they tried to rape me.
I grabbed a cloud from outside and headed home.
Filling up the hole in my room's wall, I went over to my bed.
In seconds I was asleep.

Chapter 3
I woke up to my mom saying I shouldn't go to school.
“We need to talk about this.” She said, pointing to my bruised flank.
I sighed. This was going to be embarrassing. She probably thought that I went out to see some stallion, and things got dirty.
So I told her my whole story, her silent untill the end. I left out the part where I bucked out my wall. She hated when I did that.
At the end, she nodded. She looked like she really did understand. We went to the spa to get a massage for my flank.
It was really nice. Skipping school to go to a spa with my mom. The nice ponies there massaged my wings and my flank and my back and my head. It was soooo relaxing. I loved it.
The best part was that I was skipping a Friday in school, which meant that there was no school the next day. Awesome!
After the spa, my mom said that we needed to get our manes and tails cut. Looking at the new style, I found out that coat-colour highlights were in. As soon as I told mom about it, she ordered golden hilights to be threaded into my mane and tail.
I really did look amazing, with my gold threads. As we walked among the ponyville streets, lots of stallion heads were turned my direction.
I asked mom if I could go and meet Pinkie.
“I dont know... what if those boys see you again?” She looked worried.
“Dont worry! Pinkie Pie will handle it! She's really agile! And shes a mare, just as old as you. I didint mention that.”
She agreed after a little coaxing.
So, after agreeing to meet for lunch, we flew off in the opposite direction.
I still liked pinkie, but I didint really want to go there. As soon as mom was out of sight, I took off to the other direction. Eventually, I came across a little ranch. It had millions and millions of apple trees.
Sweet Apple Acres
The carved wood read.
Looking at the apples, I became hungry.
I flew aver to the apple tree, bumping straight into another pegasus's head. We both fell to the grass.
The other pegasus shrieked.
“Applejack? Im so so so so so sorry! I just wanted an apple!” It said.
“Im not applejack! My name is- Oh, its you Rainbow Dash. What are you doing here?” I recognized the cyan pegasus.
“um.. nothing. Not stealing apples, if thats what you mean...” She replied, not meeting my gaze.
“Oh, Rainbow. You are such a liar.” I laughed.
“Then what are you doing here, kiddo?” she changed the subject.
“stealing apples.” I murmered, looking at the ground.
We both laughed and got to our hooves. It had been a while since I had seen Rainbow dash.
She craned her neck and looked at my flank.
“Still a blank flank, hmm? Or maybe not... hey, is your special talent some sort of a black cloud? Maybe you have a talent for calming thunderclouds?” She guessed.
“no. Thats a bruise.”
Rainbow's jaw hit the grass floor.
“A bruise? Did, you um. Fall on your rump? Its not what I think it is, right?” She said, blushing.
“NO! Of course not!” I yelled at her. Then I told her what happened.
“wow. You should walk around wearing a saddle, or a dress or something. Seriously. Ponies might get the wrong idea. Go to my fried Rarity, she lives in the caurosel boutique. She will get you something. Anyway, I have to go. See-ya later, kid!”
She took off, a flash of rainbow streaming behind her and fading as she moved away.
I turned to see a mare with an orange coat and faded yellow tail. Her cutie mark was three apples, and she wore a cute cowboy hat over her tail-matching mane.
She frowned and looked at the apple that fell off the tree in our fall.
“Are you stealin' mah apples?”

Chapter 5
I flew home.
My mom loved the skirt. It matched my colours exactly, and it waved out a little at the end.
I had a lunch of bean soup, with daffodil sandwiches. For dessert we had iris ice cream. It was really good.
After lunch, I went back outside to meet more friends. I stopped by sugarcube corner, and told pinkie about my day while she baked cookies.
“ohmygosh” She said in her bouncy voice. “I know rainbow dash and applejack and rarity too! You should go and see fluttershy! She has the same coat as you!” She told me where she lived, and I decided that I would go and see fluttershy.
I was trotting along the streets of ponyville, humming a little song, when a scooter pulling a wagon crashed into me. At the impact, three little fillies flew into the air. They were younger than me, although I was not a mare.
They landed with an 'ouch!' on the street.
I flew to me feet, hovering over them.
“Oh my gosh, im so sorry. I should have been looking where I was going!” I said.
“No, it was my fault. I need to go slower...” One of them shook off my appologie.
She was orange, and had an adorable mane that curled up at the top. The colour was somewhere inbetween pink and purple and red. She had tiny little wings, which could not support her body, as I guessed. She was using them for prupulsion on the scooter, which was what she meant by going slower.
“Yeah, you can say that again.” came another voice from under the overturned wagon.
Out came a little white unicorn, with purple and pink hair. She had deep sea green eyes.
Coming out from the wagon next to her, was a filly that had the same colour coat as me. She smiled when she realized it, too. Her mane was a light red, with a pink bow on top. She was an earth pony.
All three looked more adorable than ever, and were blank flanks just like me.
“Is everypony okay?” I asked, peeking under the wagon for more cute little filles. I put my hooves on the ground.
“Ah'm fine” Said the filly that looked like me.
“Hey,” I said to her. “Do you know anypony called applejack? She has the same accent as you! Maybe you're related?”
“Of course” She grinned. “AJ's mah sister. Im Applebloom.”
“And im scootaloo.” added the orange pegasus.
“And my name is sweetie belle.” Said the unicorn.
“Oh, my gosh.” I gushed. “You guys are so cute!!!”
“And your so pretty!” Said sweetie belle. “Did Rarity make that skirt for you?”
“Yeah.” I said. “You know her?”
The unicorn grinned.
“Shes my sister also.”
“But, our dear Scootaloo has no sisters.” Said Applebloom, looking down.
“Thats okay. I have Rainbow Dash! Shes like a sister to me!” She said and smiled. “Anyway, nice to meet you...uh..”
“Aurora, thats my name.”
“anyway, nice to meet you Aurora, but we have some cutie mark crusading to do. Were going to AJ's.”
“CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS HAT STEALERS, YAY!” applebloom and sweetie belle yelled in my ear.
I blinked. This was not the way to earn a cutie mark. You have to stick to what you know. I meantally shrugged. Let them have fun with it.
“Well good luck with that!” I grinned. “Bye, and dont scoot so fast!”
They got into the wagon and scooter, and zoomed off, waving to me. I waved back and smiled.
Then I decided to finnaly go and see fluttershy.
When I got there, she really lived up to her name, being really shy. But then she got a good look at me and our matching coats, and we became really good friends. She liked my skirt, and I decided to tell her what happened to me.
Her eyes opened wide.
“Oh, my. You need to stay away from them! I would just hate if anything you know... bad... Happened to you. Your my bestie!”
We hugged.
Eventually, I had to go home for dinner. I told her that I would visit very often. I think we had become best friends.
On my way home, I met those mean stallions again.

Chapter 6
They found me half way to my house.
It was a little dark already, and so I began flying through the cool night air, enjoying the slight breeze, when out of nowhere, two appeared.
The brown one and the orange one.
Though I was never more scared, I grinned in my mind. I must have put the grey one in the hospital with the strong rear kick.
As soon as I was over with that thought, I shot off like a bullet.
They chased me for quite a while, and so I decided to fool them.
I flew up, up, up, untill we got to the point that there were clouds in the air. Then I zipped back and forth, confusing them. Then, I smartly hid in a cloud, surrounded by its soft puffiness.
I watched from my hiding place as they flew the opposite direction. Then I let out a breath.
I allowed myself to rest a moment, my lungs and wings burning from the chase. Then I turned around to see the brown stallion behind me, grinning like crazy, sitting on his haunches, the lump in between his legs showing and slightly dripping. It was about 15 centimetres.
He caught me staring.
“You like??” he shouted. He was drinking again, I could smell it.
Without allowing me a second to be stunned, he threw a rope around my neck like I was a cow he was roping.
The orange one threw a rope from behind, pinning my wings to my back. They both came closer.
“Carefull, you know what she did to quickspin.” The orange one warned the brown. “make sure you dont get bucked.”
I started struggling. I bucked and kicked, I thrashed about. But they just tied ropes around my mouth and legs.
No my wings, mouth, front and back legs were tied. It seemed like the only free thing were my ears.
They propped me up and made me stand like that. Then they ripped off my skirt.
The brown one moved to my back, into my blind spot.
Then he moved my tail over, to my worst fear. He started rubbing down there, and his hoof came away damp.
Almost crying, I struggled and whimpered.
Then, I could feel something wet and warm touch me there. It felt horrible. I knew what it was, too. It was even worse when he started pulsing gently, pushing, wanting to get in. I didint let him in. I whimpered again.
“oh, you want it, dont you?” He misinterperted my whimper.
Shaking my head furiously, I tried to scream. It was no use, my mouth was clamped shut.
“She really wants it, I can tell.” He said.
Now, at this I became mad. I mean, really mad. I tried to get my wings apart, also my legs and my mouth. I tied harder than ever before, because I was really mad. And I mean, really mad.
My hind leg ropes snapped.
This gave me a lot of encouragement. I was enlightened.
I flexed my wings. I could feel the rope getting thinner... just a little more...
The rope on my wings snapped.
Crying and embarrassed, I shot off. They were no match for my fear.
I got home, punched a wall through my house and fell asleep, crying my head off. I had no dreams, though. Thank Celestia for that.

Chapter 7
When I woke up in the morning, my mouth and front legs were still bound. This made them hurt a lot.
I flew over to my mom's room, still crying.
I banged my head on her door, causing it to disappear in a cloud of smoke.
“Aurora! How many times do I have to tell you not to break our house! And you stayed out way to late last night. Hmmph. I ought to tell your father.” Then she turned around.
“Oh, sweet Celestia. Why are you crying? Did you get caught in a rope shop?”
She undid my ropes with great care, and she washed the rope burns in a tub. I told her during the washing.
“Oh, my. This is getting very serious. He really did that?”
It hurt to talk because of the bind marks, so I just nodded.
We decided to go to the cops. I told them everything that happened, with much blushing. The cops said that they would be on the lookout.
The pain on my flank calmed down, and the bruise faded. After a day, so did the rope burns.
I felt better.
I went to go see Fluttershy one day, and when I knocked she opened the door the tiniest crack.
“hello? Oh, Its you Aurora. Come on in.” she said.
I walked in and with much tears told her what happened that time.
“Oh no... that means that they are gonna be hanging around my house...” She looked worried.
“I told the cops, dont worry. They will be arrested.” I reassured her.
“Oh, that must have been hard.” She looked at me and blushed.
“Yeah. It was.” I said.
“But you did the right thing.”
“Yeah. Listen, I have to go home now. Before dark.. ya know..”
“Oh, okay. Bye Aurora. See ya later. Be careful.”
This time I made it home safe, looking in every direction every 5 seconds. But I make it, faster that a flash.
My mom was happy.
“Just dont be out after dark.” She said. “You'll be safe.”
Would I? What If it happened again? What If they did something that would make me weak and not resist? I could only hope.

Chapter 8
The next day, me and my mom went to the police office. They said that they didint find anything.
That worried us, but nothing happened for a few weeks. I was happy again, seeing a lot of my friends.
I went to see the Cutie mark crusaders, Pinkie pie, Rarity, Rainbow dash, Twilight sparkle, and her little dragon spike, and applejack.
But mostly, I visited my bestie, fluttershy. We really were best friends.
I started to forget what happened that night.
I started to stay out later and later. Untill it got dark.
Yes, I forgot. Untill one day, when it happened again.
I was flying along, clearing some clouds, when I heard the voice.
“Hey, Aurooora. Dijya miss me? My friend got caught by the cops. Now im goin solo.” It said. “And im not gonna hesitate this time.”
I looked around wildly, raw fear cutting into my senses.
“Stay away from me! I dont want to have to hurt you...” I knew I could'nt hurt him.
“Oh, Aurora. You know you cant hurt me. You may have deliverd a few bucks to the face, but thats not very bad. Now... just dont struggle.” He laughed.
Suddendly, he came out from behind me and raised his arms, ready to grab me.
I bucked him in the face, square over the nose. Then I flew.
Down.
Torwards the ground, Flying faster than ever. I hit the ground, and ran over to a pond I once went to.
I looked around wildly, waiting for him to come.
The ground seemed to shake as he struck down, hard right infront of me.
I slapped him.
He recoiled, putting on a menacing face. Then he turned around to buck, which I smartly dodged, assuming why he was turning before it happened.
When he began to face me again, he was met with a whack of my hoof.
He staggered back, loosing his smile.
Then, using his wings for power, he struck down on my back, causing me to fall. He struck my head, causing me to loose conciousness.
I wondered briefly if I was dying while it happened. Then the world just turned black.
Author's note.
Dont worry, Aurora's not dead.

Chapter 9
*beep beep*
“Oh, shes waking up!!!”
*beep beep*
“Shes moving. Shes wrinkling her forehead.”
*beep beep*
“Oh my gosh, shes itching herself.”
*beep beep*
“Will you stop narrorating me, mom?” I managed to say
“OH MY GOSH” she thundered. “DID YOU JUST HEAR HER? SHE TA-” she cut herself off.
*beep beep*
“can someone stop that annoying beeping sound?”
*silence*
“Hey mom.” I asked, still keeping my eyes closed.
“Yes, honey?”
“How come you died too?”
“What? Your not dead! Neither am I!!!”
“n-what?”
My mom explained some things.
Apparently, right after he knocked me out, he beat me up some more.
My mom was out looking for me, and well... she found us. She kicked him and brought me to the hospital.
“He beat me up? When I was unconcious?”
My mom nodded.
“That explains all the bruises.”
I was covered in scratches, broken bones, and bruises galore. Apparently, he had been so mad by the slap that he resorted to breaking me.
The worst news was that he had broken one of my wingbones.
I could not fly for two months, probably more.

Chapter 10
The news hit me like a cloud filled with rocks.
No flying???
That would mean... I would have to stay in my house for a couple of months.
No seeing fluttershy? Or any of my other friends?
...
RAGE.
Who does he think he is, darth vader??? Thinking that he can ground me? Or... cloud me...
If he ever meets me again, he is gonna get it big time.
No flying?
A pegasus without wings is like... a unicorn without a horn! Of course, if it had no horn, it would be an earth pony...
but still. Its like a unicorn with no magic. An earth pony without its distinguished strength.
:(
This was going to be the longest few months of my life.
So I asked mom if she could get me a diary.
She got it for me in a jiffy.
So, I found a pencil and started writing.
Entry #1.
Dear diary,
I just learned that my wings are non-functionable for 2 months. Maybe more.
Just like Daring Doo, when she was grounded.
I ki-
I stopped writing, and looked over my shoulder and came nose-to-nose with my mom.
“Mom. This is a diary. SECRET!”
“Oh, yeah. Of course...”
I kinda think that this grounded thing is'nt so bad. Ill get to write in my diary some more! And read Daring Doo!
Things are slightly looking up for me...
bye.
My eyes were glued to Daring Doo's book. It was amazing.
But im not gonna give anything away.
I read it for a couple of days, only stopping for sleeping and eating.
Then I finished it.
So, I was pretty phsyked. It was am amazing book. I decided to go to twilight's to get the next one.
“Hey, doc?” I asked as he came by.
“Yes?”
“I was wondering, can I go see a friend?”
“Well, yes, as long as she dosent live in the sky. Your bruises seemed to have faded so...”
“She lives really close.”
“Then sure. But come right back if anything starts to hurt.”
“Yay!”
I got out of bed, careful of my bandaged wing.
Then I trotted slowly over to the library.
“Oh, my!!! what happened?” Twilight asked when she saw my bandaged wing.
“I got beat up.” I said, looking down and not wanting to tell her the real story.
“Oh, you poor thing.” She replied, pouting.
“I brought you the book. I finished it.”
“Nice. You can put it over here.” she said, gesturing.
I put it onto the bookshelf and took out the next book.
Daring Doo and the Griffon's Goblet
cool!
Entry #2
Dear diary,
Today I started reading the next book in the series of Daring Doo.
It's even better than the first!
Daring Doo is just so... daring!!!
Im gonna go and read some more, okay?
Bye.
Putting the diary and my pencil down, I grabbed the book.
And then I read for a couple of days more.
Only stopping for sleep and water and food.
Sucky hospital food.
Why do you have to be so gross?
I even wrote a diary entry about it:
Entry #3
Dear Diary,

Also, I feel like the hospital staff are looking down my back, reading what im writing.
Ill stop writing bad things about them now :D

Entry #8
Dear Diary,
Im starting to get worried about my cutie mark.
I just had my birthday party and invited all my friends.
That was the year I was supposed to get mine.
I still dont have it.
I know that its no use moping about it like this, but still.
Bye
A few days later, my dad brought me to work because one of them were sick. I got added to his team temporarily.
It was lots of fun, eating lunch with him, bucking rain clouds away with him. I love my dad, and I had'nt realized how much I had missed him.
One day, we were clearing some rain clouds, and one got away. It floated out of our sights slowly, and then zoomed away.
As soon as it dashed off, we realized that it was a lightning cloud and could start a fire anywhere.
That could be really dangerous.
I shot off after the Thundercloud, being the fastest pegasus in the team, it was my job to go after it.
I followed it, Gaining an inch on it every 5 seconds.
It suddendly stopped and shot a lightning bolt in my direction.
I dodged it, yet it hit my hoof.
It hurt a lot.
Yet I chased after it when it started floating in top speed again.
The funny thing about clouds is that, they have no eyes, yet they get distracted easily.
A balloon was floating by, and hit the cloud in the face.
It was red and very shiny.
The cloud stared at it with no eyes.
I took this as my chance.
Turning around, I gave it a mighty buck, and with a little black smoke, it disappeared.
And well, thats pretty much how I got my cutie mark.
Entry #9
Dear Diary,
Remember how I said that I was worried about my cutie mark?
Well, today I got it.
It's beautiful, a black thundercloud with two yellow horseshoes on it.
I love it so much, ill cherish it forever.
I, Aurora, am no longer a blank flank.
Bye.

Chapter 15
I wanted to visit Applejack and show her her cutie mark, since I was excused from work as a gift.
On the way, I bumped into the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
“We sticked to what we know, and look what we have to show!” they chanted and shoved their rumps together to show me.
They had gotten their cutie marks too!!!
Scootaloo's special talent was dancing. She she showed me a few moves to prove it, too. Her cutie mark looked like a shooting star, but instead of a star, there was a pink horseshoe.
Sweetie Belle's talent was singing. Her cutie mark was a microphone, and waved around it was a pink ribbon. On the end of the ribbon was a pink heart.
And Applebloom's special talent, was crafts. Her cutie mark was a paintbrush with a splotch of red paint on it.
The all liked my cutie mark too.
“So your talent is chasing after stormclouds and bucking them?” Scootaloo asked after I told them my story.
“Yes.” I beamed with pride.
“thats so cool!” sweetie belle said.
“yeah, y'all should go show mah sis!” Applebloom grinned.
“I am! Which reminds me, I have to go. Bye girls, and congratulations!!!”
“bye, congrats to you too!” they all waved and shouted as I flew off.
I flew over to where I thought the farm pony would be.
Hovering over sweet apple acres, I looked for applejack, and spotter her, bucking away at some trees.
I landed next to her and told her my story.
“Wowie! Thats the way to get a cutie mark!” she said.
I went over to all of my other friends, showing them and telling them my story.
“Oh, its simply stunning! It matches your coat and everything!!!!” Rarity gushed.
“Oh, man it looks kinda like mine, Aurora!!!!” Rainbow had said.
“Im so exited for you, I could shout!!!! woohoo!” Fluttershy shouted feebly.
“wowie! This could call for a PARTY!!!” pinkie shouted in my ear.
“Nice work, Aurora! Im glad you finnaly found your special talent!!!” twilight congratulated me.
And then I went home and showed my mom.
She had not gotten home from work, and so I could'nt.
I put a dress on over my flank and waited on the porch till my mom got home.
“Hi!” she greeted me. “What's with the dress? It's hot out today!”
It was true, I was sweating. So I decided to just cut to the chase.
“Mom, I got my cutie mark today.”
Her jaw hit the floor.
“Really? Showmeshowmeshowmeshowme!!!!!”
I took of the dress, clovering my flanks with my hooves. Then I told her the story.
“And thats when this here appeared. Ready?” I asked, smiling.
“Do it! Doitdoitdoitdoitnow!”
I uncovered my flank, revealing my cutie mark.
Her jaw, which she had pulled in, once more hit the floor.
“It's amazing.” she breathed. “Just like your mommie.”
Her's was the same cutie mark, but the cloud was white and the horseshoes were the same colour as our manes.
I beamed with pride as I realized it was true.
Entry #10
Dear diary,
my cutie mark is really similar to my moms.
It maked me really proud.
Me and my mom and my dad went out to celebrate.
And of course, Pinkie threw a party.
Bye.

Chapter 17
After almost a whole day of wing work out, Scootaloo looked beat. Her curly mane was soaked in sweat and water she poured over herself, her wings looked tired but bigger, and her coat was damp.
“Nice work, scoots.” I patter her shoulder. “Class dismissed for today. Meet me here, same time tommorow. If your lucky, we might get into the air.”
Despite the hard workout she had just been through, her sweaty face lit up and she started bouncing around.
“Oh, and uh.. take a shower, will ya?” I said before I flew away.
Being a teacher was fun. Scootaloo was a hard worker, and she did her work honestly. Not cheating, like some fillies. They would say they did 30 wing push ups when they only did 27. It was unfair and made me mad.
Entry #12
Dear Diray,
scootaloo is a really good learner.
She honest and hard-working.
Tommorow she deserves a reward, im gonna coax her into the sky, and we'll hover.
Maybe i'll even teach her how to move back and forth.
Bye.
The next day, scootaloo was there 5 minutes early.
“I was just sooo exited!” She said. “I hope we're gonna fly today. Are we? Huh? Huh? Huh?”
“hmm. Maybe...” I teased.
To get started, we did 5 wing push ups, and some running on the spot.
“Okay. Now, were gonna hover in the air. First, you flap your wings very slowly.” I demonstrated. “Then, you push off with your legs, like this. And once you get high in your jump, you flap your wings at a steady pace, like this.” I jumped and hovered.
She started to do it but I stopped her.
“One more thing.” I said, my hoof on her shoulder. “Of you want to take off really fast, you just jump and SHOOM! Blast off.”
I flew a couple of yards away, jumping fast.
“Okay?” I yelled to her from a couple of yards away.
“Okay! Lets do this!” with a smirk, she put on imaginary goggles and started her wings slowly.
I shot back over to her, watching her every move.
She took a deep breath and jumped, her wings slowly flapping.
She fell out of the sky like a rock and I caught her.
“wow, that was close.” she said. “sorry.”
“Nothing to apologize for.” I smiled. “just flap your wings a little faster. Okay?”
“Okay.” She put on imaginary goggles again and started her wings. Then, using a slightly stronger jump, she leapt into the sky and flaped her wings furiously.
She did not fall, she just stayed in place.
“holy cow! Im flying!!! how do I move?”
“You are flying! Just hovering actually, but still! To go higher, move your wings faster. To go down, slow down your speed.”
“Okay, im gonna go down.” She said.
“Alright. Now, slowly you have to-”
She stopped beating her wings.
“Scoots!” I shouted in frusteration and caught her again. “You need to SLOWLY beat your wings. Not just stop altogether.”
She blushed. “Sorry, I was so happy to fly, I jus-” she was cut off by me throwing her into the air. “Whoooah... I got it!”
And she did. She was hovering again, staying in the air. I flew up beside her.
“now, to move forward, angle your wings a little down. Like this.” I showed her. “And to move backwards, angle them up, like this.”
She moved backward and forward. Then she neatly landed on the ground, without falling or hurting herself.
I landed next to her.
“That was really good, scootaloo! Now, ju-” I was cut off by her hugging my leg furiously.
I lifted her onto my chest and hugged her back.
Little scootaloo had learned how to fly.

Chapter 18
We still met up a lot of weekends and when she didint have school, building up her wing muscles and teaching each other new tricks.
We flew a lot together, and pretty soon flying was just as natural for her as breathing.
She thanked me a million times a day.
“This is so awesome!” she would say. “Thanks!”
Or she would say somehting like “I love flying!! Its your fault that I'm flying! In a good way!”
I would always wave off her thanks, saying that she taught herself how to fly, I was just there to catch her when she fell.
One day we were practicing our tricks, and I thought I got a smell of alcahol.
“Scootaloo, got under that picknick table now.” I whispered and pointed.
She shot me a confuzed glance, but did what i told her to.
Rain started to pour, making mud in placed where our stunts didint work and we fell to the dirt.
I faced away from Scootaloo, shouting into the rain “Come out come out wherever you are.”
“Oh, guys she blew our cover.” Said one voice.
“Yeah, the older one knows were here.” It sounded like quickspin, the grey stallion I bucked in the face.
“That dosent mean we'll run away...” the brown one said and chuckled.
Scootaloo whimpered.
“Scootaloo, fly home. NOW.” She stood up and nodded.
The orange one appeared first, creeping from behind a tree, then the grey one, stitched neatly printed across his face. Then the brown one, a menacing look.
“You may have fought me off before,” he said as a matter-of-factly. “But now were three. And you can fight three off.”
I stepped back with one of my hind hooves and put on a corageous look. “Sure I can.”
“yeah, no you cant. And guess who we brought this time?” said the grey one. “Out friend, rope. And all of his friends, ropes.” The brown one slapped him for his harrible use of words.
“Anyway, were gonna tie you up and rape you, and this time in not hesitating, like I did the one time I got you and was able to.”
“You actually got her?” the orange one asked.
“yup. And she was worth it, even for a few seconds.”
“Wow.”
I grimmaced. I knew exactly what they were talking about.
Just as I was about to take off, I felt a light tug on my tail.
“Aurora, what are they talking about?” Scootaloo asked.
“SCOOTALOO” I hollered. “YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GO HOME.”
The three grinned. “More for us! Yay!” The brown one said.
And then, they chased after me and scootaloo.
We flew for a while, but then they came close enough to throw a rope around both of our necks.
“Pull. PULL.” I hollererd at scootaloo.
Tears were streaming down her face, mixing with rainwater.
“I-I cant.” she said and she stopped flying, giving in.
“NO! Scootaloo!” I flew after her.
The two boys had gotten her and were now tying ropes everywhere.
The third was behind me, I realized, and turned around just for him to rope me and knock me down.
He tied ropes everywhere skillfully.
Me and scootaloo were trapped by three rapists.

Chapter 20
When I woke up, the bitter taste was still in my mouth and I remembered the nigh before, blush coming to my cheeks.
Scootaloo had somehow managed to wake up before me, and she was muttering and cursing under her breath.
“Scootaloo!” I said.
“You asshole!” she said. I winced at the swear. “You like it! I saw! You didint fight! It was horrible, but you like it didint you?” She yelled, fresh tears sprouting and wetting her orange coat once more.
I put my head down. “Yeah, I kinda did.” I mumbled. “I couldnt help it.”
Scootaloo looked at me, her eyes narrowing and filling with more tears. She just looked away. As soon as we bit through our bonds, (she got through first,) she flew away, not even helping me.
Tears fell from her face as she flew.
The next few days, she didint come for wing practice.
Entry #13,
Dear diary,
Scootaloo hates me. I think I know why, but its unfair.
If she knew the feeling, she would understand.
Im gonna go to her house now and say im sorry.
I hope she will understand.
Bye

Chapter 21
Ever since scootaloo learned to fly, her parents mooved to a house in the sky. It was made of clouds, just like mine, and I flew to it's porch now.
“Scootaloo?” I knocked on the door loud but not harsh enough for it to burst. “Scootaloo?”
She came out from behind the house, flying over. She did not look happy to see me.
“What do you want?” She asked in a gruff voice.
“Well, um. Do you remember what happened a few days ago?” I stammered.
“Yes, I havent told my parents yet though.” She kept her face composed.
I sighed and looked at the ground.
It was very far away.
“Scoots, my wings are kinda getting tired. Can i stand on your porch?” I asked hopefully.
“No.”
“Look, im really sorry. I tried to resist, but-”
“You should have tried harder.” her eyes narrowed.
This was too much for me. She was'nt even trying to understand!
I burst into tears and shot off, back to the ground. Maybe I could hide in Twilight Sparkle's tree house.
So, there I went, leaving scootaloo behind.
Her expression fell. Maybe I was a little too harsh and unforgiving?
I shot off torwards Her house, tears comming down my face from the speed, also.
When I got there, I burrowed myself on a branch under all the leaves. Spotting a broken branch, I covered the hole where Twilight could see me If she walked by.
And then I slept for a few hours.
When I woke up and spread the branches, The sunset was burning the sky.
I watched until the last trace of orange left the sky.
Then I flew home and told my mom how it ended with scootaloo.
She sighed.
“Give her a few more days, okay?” She looked into my eyes, her deep crimson and orange ones boring into mine.
“Okay.”

Chapter 22
So scootaloo hated me.
That was the deal. My mom told me to give her a few days, and so I did.
Days later, I went over to her cloud house again at nighttime. I knew she would be awake.
She answered the door and put of a fixed mild expression.
“Hi Aurora. What do you want?” She asked with visible nonchalance.
“To.. say that im sorry?”
“You already said that once.” She stepped out of her house and closed the door. “Follow me.”
She led me over to a cloud that was pretty small, but big enought for two pegesi to sit and look up at the night sky.
“So your sorry.” She asked as she lay down and put her crossed arms behind her head.
“Well, yeah. I want to apologize.”
“What are you sorry for?” She asked.
I looked up at the stars. They shone and twinkled, winking at us and beaming. So, I decided to tell her the truth.
“I-Im not really sure. Im sorry that you were with me when we got caught. Im sorry I liked it. Im sorry I was ever mean to you. Im sorry... Im just so sorry.”
“It's okay.” She looked really forgiving as she patted my shoulder. “I forgive you. I really overreacted. I still havent told my parents what happened.”
We both fell silent for a while, gazing up at the vast, blue nothingness.
“You should tell them.”
“I think I should.”
“Were both thinking the same thing, right?”
“Yeah, probably.”
So scootaloo didint hate me anymore.

Chapter 23
Flames were everywhere.
Chewing up wood and rafters that fell upon me.
Smoke drowned out my lungs.
I had no idea where the way out was.
I stumbled and fell as a huge piece of burning wood fell ontop of me.
It crushed my wings and body.
I could smell the smoke and scent of burning flesh.
I knew the pain was just about to sear through me, when-
I shot up into a sitting position, my heart feeling rushed.
Crap. It was just a dream.
Just a dream.
I sighed and let my body fall back into my clouden bed.
That was one nightmare.
But, still. It didint feel right.
Pulling on my (now signature) skirt, I got out of bed.
Cheking the time, I realized that it was 3 in the morning.
Time for a midnight fly around.
I punched a hole in my room, patching it up before I left.
Then, truning around, I smelled smoke and spotted the flames below.
A house was on fire, but nopony was there. No firefighters, no nothing.
I shot down into the debris instantly.
Landing on a buning carpet, I doged a falling log of wood.
“Is anypony there? Oh, There is!!! (Cough) Save me, please dont go!!!” A voice called out.
Turning torwards it, I easily recognized a small orange pegasus with a singed pink-purple hairdoo.
“Scootaloo!” I shrieked as another piece fell from the roof.

Chapter 25
“Scootaloo, dodge it! No, move away... no stay there its gone...” I slurred.
Opening my eyes slowly, a flash of light greeted me.
“Oh, theres still fire... scootaloo move!” I barely managed to whisper.
Then I came to my senses and stopped mumbling.
I was In a hospital, Scootaloo sleeping right next to me in the same bed. It was afternoon and all of the other patients in the same room were not paying attention to us.
Scootaloo stirred and mumbled in her sleep.
“Aurora... save yourself... my parents are dead anyway. Dodge the... fire...” She whispered.
Her parents were dead??? Maybe she was just mumbling nonsense.
I turned my gaze to behind me. One of my wings was slightly blackish, the other one had just a smudge of something black on it.
I could feel my back, and as I looked at it, I saw that it was burnt badly. I had a really deep scar in my back left leg, but other than all those I was fine.
A doctor came into the room, and seeing me awake, he smiled. He was just about to say something, when he saw scootaloo.
Ill tell you when she wakes up, okay? He mouthed to me.
Curiosity burned through me like painless fire.
Maybe I should wake up scootaloo? Nah, she needs all the rest she can get to repair her body.
Looking at her now, I examined all the woulds I could see.
A big scar under her left eye, her right wing bandaged. A chunk of her left ear was burnt horribly black. That was all I could see.
And, how ironic, she shifted in her sleep and pocked her right front leg out of the covers.
A scar, stiched already, wound down her leg like a snake. I imagined how painfull that would be.
But with her ear and scar, she looked like some sort of a rock chick.
Then she woke up, her greyish purple eyes gazing up at me.
Then she yawned and asked the doctor nearby for some water.
“Scoots, im so glad your alive!!! Did you see the scar on your leg? And your um.. ear? Or wing?” I asked.
“Yeah, I was awake when you fainted. I was so scared you died.”
She explained what happened. We were both put into one stretcher, whisked away to the hospital, and put in this bed together on her request. Then the doctors treated us and cleaned us and they stitched her up. She said that a broken window caused the scar on her leg.
“Then how did you get into the house in the first place?” I asked.
“Well, I went there with my parents to get my special gem that gives me courage.” he said, looking down. “I was about to tell them what happened, when my father looked up and smelled smoke. Then, I went into the back yard to get a hose, and well. When I got there, they were gone. Dead.” She sniffled, and a tiny shining tear slid down her face.
“Oh, there there. Im so sorry.” I pulled her in close for a hug, being careful about or damages.
“And thats what I was holding when I broke down and started crying because of my parents. I rocked back and forth on the floor while the fire raged on, goetting worse and worse. When I came back to my senses, the hose I brought inside was burned. The metal handle was really hot and so I threw it out the window in suprise. The glass shattered and got me this and this.” She pointed to the scar on her leg and cheek.
I was speechless, and so I just kept on hugging her.
“So, now that im an... orphan.” She stumbled on the word. “Aurora, will you adopt me and be my mom?”

Chapter 27
The doctor kept us in the hospital for a week.
Pinkie pie, Fluttershy, Twilight sparkle, Applejack, Rairty, and Rainbow dash all visited, along with my mom.
They all fussed about our wounds, and mourned about how scootaloo had lost her parents. We decided not to tell anyone about our 'secret' decision. We made hte doctor not tell them.
When we were realeased from the hospital, mom was there to pick us up. She said that scootaloo could stay with us untill someone adopts her.
We flew behind her, talking about how we were gonna break it to her when we got home.
Infront of our doorstep, scootaloo winked at me and said “Okay then, its a plan.”
Walking in, I decided to start.
“So, mom. When me and scootaloo were in the hospital, we were talking about some things.”
“Yes? Things?” She asked, trooting over and putting some water on the stove. “Come and have some tea scootaloo. Aurora, get the cups and tea bags. And sugar.”
“Yah, ve vere taking avbout fum fings...” I said, the tea things in my mouth.
I set them on the table and added the sugar packets.
“Mom. Im gonna cut to the chase.” I decided. “You know how im gonna be a mare in a year or so? Well, scootaloo asked me If I could be her mom. And I said yes.”
My mom looked at me. She stared at me with a bewildered look untill the kettle whistled.
Shaking her head, she put the water on the table and poured tea. Then we all sat down and talked.
“I asked her If I could be my mom, because I think shes really responsible, Aurora's mom.” Scootaloo said. “I thought about It for a whole night, and I decided and told her.”
“And I said yes, and we didint decide to tell you when we were in the hospital.” I finished.
My mom nodded and took a thoughfull sip of tea.
“Without a stallion?” She asked.
Me and scootaloo nodded.
“I'll accept to not have a dad.” She put on a sly smile and fixed her eyes on me. “Yet...”
“Scoots!” I laughed.
“Well, I say yes also. It's a good idea. I shall talk to the mayor about the situation, and I do think she will say yes. While I go, I think you might want to tell your friends.”
“Oh, yes thank you!” Me and scootaloo shouted at the same time, zipping out the door.

We decided to tell our friends in alphabetical order, just for the fun of it.
AJ Was first on the list.
We raced each other over to sweet apple acres, laughing and deciding how we are going to say it.
The cowpony was buckinga apple trees in the south field.
We headed over to the field, calling her name.
We landed neatly infront of her and she grinned.
“Scootaloo, Aurora, How are y'all?”
“Were awesome!” Scootaloo said. “We have some news to tell you.”
“Better fasten your saddlebags, its pretty big.” I added.
The orange pony sat down, tipping her hat up and wiggling her ears.
“Go on, im a' listenin.” She said, leaning in.
“Aurora-” Began scootaloo.
“DECIDED TO ADOPT SCOOTALOO!” I cut in, whirring my wings and jumping into the air very much like pinkie pie.
Applejack's eyes opened wide. She reared in the air, shouting with glee.
“yee, haw!!! Im mighty happy for y'all! You should go and tell our friends!!!” She smiled.
“We are! Bye, applejack!” I said, following the already airborne scootaloo.
Applejack watched them go, taking her hat of and placing it over her heart.
“Ah always knew that they were a good match, werent they big mac?” She asked.
The other farm pony was bucking another tree close, but unnoticed.
“Yup”

Sugarcube corner was right next to the town square.
We came in, smiling like crazy.
“Oh, you guys look exited! Are you having a party?” She asked.
We shook our heads no.
“Umm.” She tapped her chin with her hoof. “A suprise.”
We nodded.
“A huge suprise that you have to tell me!”
We nodded again.
“Um. Scootaloo got her cutie mark! Oh, wait. She already has hers. Um... you want to know how to make a chimmycherrychanga? Wait, thats not a suprise... Um. You found parents for Scootaloo?”
We nodded.
“Ohmygosh! Thats awesome! You know what this calls for? A PARTEY!!!!” she screamed, throwing confetti into the air.
We nodded.
“Wait, I still have to guess who the parent is.” she realized.
We nodded.
“Um... Rainbow dash?”
We shook our heads.
“Auroras mom?”
We shook our heads.
“umm. Do I know her?”
We nodded.
“Uh... Is she in this room right now?”
We nodded.
“Ohmygosh, mrs cake is a good parent for Scootaloo!!! Congrats miss cake!!!!” Pinkie said.
“No, Its not mrs cake. Its me.” I said, pulling her away from mrs cake.
“Ohmygosh. Really???? Your like, younger than me!!! are you shure you can handle it?”
“I know I can.” I said, and rushed out the door.
“And we dont really need a party, pinkie. Its okay!” Scootaloo shouted after us.

Chapter 32
At caurosel boutique, we told Rarity also.
“Oh, my. That is amazing! Im so happy for you guys! But I hvae to get back to work now. Bye!!!”
She trotted off.
So, we flew over to Twilight's Library last.
“Hi twilight!!! We have big news for you!!!” I greeted her.
“Nice! Tell me!” She grinned.
“I have adopted Scootaloo! Shes my little filly now!” I said, ruffling her hair.
“Well, you two dont have very much resemblance, but im sure you have the same heart. I hope it all works out fantastic!!! Wana borrow a book? You know, like a bedtime story!!”
I glanced down at scootaloo. She looked happy and exited.
“Sure, pass it over!” I grinned.
A nice looking book surrounded in a see through pink haze was floated over to me.
Rapunzel: the story of a mare and her stallion.
The title read. It looked really good, and on the cover there was a picture of a mare with a really long mane.
“Cant wait to hear it this evening!” Scootaloo exclaimed.
That evening, I tucked her in a cloud bed next to mine.
“Now I'll read the story.” I said.  
“Once upon a time, in a land far, far, away. There was a mare with beautifull long hair. It was blond. She had a purple coat, and she wore a purple crown ontop. She lived in a castle that was enchanted. In a bad way. She was not allowed to go out, ever. It was the command of her mother's.
“Every night, she would sing a special song to her mother while she brushed her hair. Little did she know, that while her mother brushed her hair, it glowed when she sang the song. It made her mother look and be younger.
“her mother was actually a witch that was about 100 years old by then. Rapunzel was never allowed to leave the castle, because if she did, her mother would die of old age. And so, her mother barred her in a very high castle with no doors.  
I read the story, watching scootaloo's expressions. When It was finished, I turned out the lights.
Just as I was about to leave, she said “Its only been one day and your already the best mom ever.”

Entry # 14,
Dear Diary,
Sorry I havent written for a while.
Scootaloo is an orphan, and so I agreed when she aked me to adopt her.
I just tucked her in, you should have seen how cute she looked!!!
I hope these happy days will never end.
Sorry again that I havent written in a while.
Bye
I went into the kitchen to see mom siting there with a bottle of wine in her hand. She took a drink from the bottle.
I smiled and grabbed it out of her hand. I took a glass from the clouden cupboard and poured wine halfway to the rim in it.
Then I handed it to her.
“You dont want to get drunk.” I said, stashing the bottle in the fridge.
She tried to say something, but just slurred the words.
I took the glass from her hand and poured it down the drain in our sink.
“You already are. Oh, mom.” I laughed and pulled her to her room, tucking her in. She fell asleep before I pulled the blankets ontop of her.
Then I went out to the porch, sitting on it so that my legs dangles off the edge, swaying in the air.
My wing was about as sensitive as my hand, and so I decided to massage it. It felt really nice.
Then I began to think about some things. My dad was away on a trip, and he had been for about a week. My mom was a stay at home mare, taking care of me. I had already finished school, whick takes only six years to learn. Scootaloo only had finished 2. I had been finished for a few years now, learning to kick clouds and move them around.
I switched wings.
I was almost a mare. My next birthday would declare me one. Mom would move away and retire, and so would dad. Leaving me to my own. I know that mom would leave me the house, and so me and scootaloo could live there. Maybe I could find a stallion. That would be nice. Maybe I could check online. For a stallion. Yeah, thats what I would do.
I went to the computer, shaking the mouse to remove the screensaver. I typed in my password and got in. Then I made an accound on some dating site and got started.
Aurorahtepegasus: Hi.
Tibberonta: hey.
Aurorahtepegasus: how are you?

Chapter 35
The next morning at lunch, Scootaloo asked me where I went last night.
“How do you know I went somewhere?” I asked.
“I saw you at the ponyville cafe with a stallion.” She said, shoveling some slad into her muzzle. “He looked really handsome!! whats his name? Whats his special talent? Are you two getting married?”
“Woa. Ill try to answer all the questions. His name is music of the moon, his special talent is making music, and we are not getting married. We just met on an internet thingy and we decided to go on a date.”
“Did it go well?”
“Did it? I could'nt have gone beter!!! He is really nice and he had the sweetest voice. I told him about you and he thinks that your really nice to me and cute. Maybe one day I can take yo with me to go on a date.”
Entry# 15,
Dear Diary,
A diary Is a little to childish, and so I think that this may be the last entry.
Maybe.
Anyway, im saing this because I have started dating a boy. He is really nice and handsome. He is the love of my life. He dosent even look older than me even though he is a coupe of years older than me.
Bye
One day, my 'coltfriend' decided to show me his house.
It was just as I dreamed it to be, french style with just a hint of rustic.
Threre we had our first kiss.
He looked at me admiring one of his paintings and drew in closer. I did too, bringing out muzzles closer together. And then, I unresistably closed the gap between them, and we had our first kiss. It was very passionate when I opened my mouth to let his tounge in.
When we broke it, we were phanting for air, and helplessly in deep love.
He pushed me onto a bed that just happened to be there, and gave me another kiss. And another one.
He covered my face in kisses, moving down to my neck and chest.
He blushed and said “If this is too much for you,-”
“No,” I said, “Just keep on going.”
And he did. His kisses got lower and lower, untill he came inbetween my legs. He gave en expirimental lick, which sent off a moan from me.
He kept licking, all around there and making me ghasp and moan. It felt so good.
After a while, I was pushed over the edge, as waves of pleasure shot through me. I moaned and ghasped.
His muzzle cam away moist and smiling.
“Buck me?” I asked, I wanted it so badly.
And he did. He did it hard and fast, and the wet sounds filled the room.
I loved him so much. I bet he loved me so much.
Eventually, we were pushed over the edge together. He filled me up completely so much that I could'nt breather for a while. My stomack exppanded from the amount. He raised a hoof and gently pushed down, causing my body to shock with pleaseure again. The liquid seeped out of my body and I ghasped.
We layed there like that for a while, hugging each other.

Chapter 36
After a while, he released me, and I had to go home. I said goodbye and flew, exausted.
When I woke up, scootaloo was jumping on my bed, singing “Mommie's got a coltfriend!!!!”
“Yes I do, now could you let me sleep please?” I groaned.
“Yeah, but you went to his house yesterday and kissed! I bet you did!”
I blushed, remembering last night.
“Yeah, we kissed....”
“And???” Scootaloo eagerly said. “Did he ask to marry you?”
“What? No!!!” I yelled at her. “Scootaloo jump off of my bed. Go and have some breakfast. Now.”
I blushed and tried to get up, groaning at the pain in my tumy. Boy, I was hungry.
After breakfast, my stomack still hurt.
I even threw up.
Sitting on my bed, I looked at my stomack. It was slightly bigger than normal, wich freaked me out.
“Scootaloo, I'll be right back. You dont dare go out of this house.” I yelled as I flew out the door.
I stopped at the farmacy, picking up a pregnancy test. I covered it with a bag when I got back home.
“Hey, mom. Can I go play with sweetie belle?” Scootaloo yelled from her room.
“Sure!” I called back.
I used the pregnancy test, needing to drink some water first.
And, just my luck, I was pregnant.
For ponies, pregnancy happend really fast, and so I guess my Music of the moon is the father.
I went over to his house, glad to find him home.
Right when he opened the door, I just broke the news to him.
“Im pregnant.” I told him.
He fainted.
I lugged him into the house, closing the door behind us.
Then when he woke up, He asked me If I really was pregnant.
“Yes, i really am.” I said, and sighed as he fainted again.

Chapter 37
I grabbed a pencil and paper to leave a note for him.
The note read:
Dear music of the moon,
I need to go home and break the news to scootaloo.
I'm going to give you some time to let the news sink in, I really am pregnant.
I... dont know how this happened.
We'll just have to see what will happen next in our lives.
Love, Aurora.
I jotted it down and put it on his face.
Then I flew home to tell scootaloo.
“Scootaloo?” I called. “Are you home?”
“yes, mommy. What do yo need?”
“Come sit down next to me. I need to have a talk with you. Your not in trouble, dont worry about that.”
She flew over to the couch, a concerned look on her face.
“What is it?” The little orange pegasus said.
“Scootaloo, you know how me and music of the moon are really good friends?” I asked.
She nodded.
“Well, yesterday... Um. Well, im sorta pregnant.”
Scootaloo looked at me.
“Pregnant as in... baby?” She asked.
I nodded solemly.
She sat there for a while, silent. She looked out the window, her attenton on some pegesi that were playing ball on a wandering cloud.
She stood up and sniffled. Then she flew out the door.
I didint see her even after two days of searching cloudsdale.
On the third, I went down to ponyville and Over to Twilight's library. I knocked.
“It's me!!” I called.
“Just a second!!” Twi hollered and dropped her voice. “Its Aurora. Just go over there and hide, Im going to have to answer.”
I heard some ruffling and feather rustles. Then the door opened and I plastered on a smile.
“Hello Twilgiht.”
“Hi, Aurora. Anything I can do to help you?” She replied, closing the door so that only her muzzle poked out.
“Um, yes. I would like to go into the library, if you dont mind.”
“Mind? Mind! why would I mind, I mean...” She cut herself off, chuckling badly.
I stepped inside. Books were on their sheves, Spike scampering to pick up the ones that werent.
I looked around, finding nothing but more books and shelves and an uneasy twilight.
“I...ve got a lot of studying ot do, so if you dont mind, you can come back... Tonight!” She yelled and pushed me out the door.
I knew she was hiding scootaloo in there.
So I spent the day, flying around, doing really nothing. At sunset I went to twilight's library, telling her just what I needed. Not caring if scootaloo were there to hear it.
“Ive made some terrible mistakes in the past. Very terrible. I need you to teleport me back in time. Please? To the date when I met Music of the moon.”
Unexpectantly, she agreed. I told her the dat, and in a super bright flash, I was at home, on my computer.
Youbicool: hi.
Aurorahtepegasus: whats up?
Youbicool: the sky.
Aurorahtepegasus: very funny :)

Julyah closed the book.
“And so.” She said. “Julyah disconnected right there and then, going out to play some games with scootaloo. They lived happily ever after. I really want to give you all a big thanks to the suxess of this story.”
She got up, placing the book on the chair in a cloud of purple swirly magic.
“Thank you all again. You guys rock. Even for simply reading this story, liking it, thumbs up. Everything. Now, I have been telling this story nonstop for a million days straight... Im going to sleep!”
Yes, so like the pink pony said. Thank you guys soooo much, and good night!

“No!” I said, looking around. “No, a Rainbow-maned pegasus was stealing them, and she bumped into me, and-”
“Rainbow Dash. I knew it. Sorry little filly. Fer accusin yah, I mean. That Rainbow Dash is always stealin' mah apples. I'm Applejack, or AJ.” She held out a hoof to shake.
I took it and shook it.
Applejack smirked. “I have tah go, but you dont steal any of mah apples, got it? If yer hungry, yah cud just ask.” She trotted away, leavng me blushing and guilty.
I flew over to the town square, and spotted caurosel boutique. Trotting inside, I was greeted by a nice voice.
“Welcome to caurosel boutique, where everything is shine and sheek. How may I help you?”
It was a unicorn, Marshmallow whtie, with purple locks of mane and tail. She was quite pretty.
I walked closer to her and asked if we could speak in private.
“Cardinally my dear. Come right this way!”
She led me into a lit room with model pony sculptures. Probably her inspiration room.
“Now, what is it that you wanted to tell me?”
“You know Rainbow Dash, right? She sent me here.”
“Oh, does she need anything?”
“No, she sent me here so that you could help me.” I turned around and showed her my flank.
“Oh, my.”
I told her how I got it.
“Oh, my.”
“Yeah. So, can you get me a dress or skirt that would... cover it up?”
“Yes. Right this way.”
After a while of fitting and squealing in excitement with Rairty, I chose a skirt. It was butter-yellow, with turquoise lines going down and out. It looked amazing on me and covered my flank nicely.
“Wow!” Said rarity. “normally, this costs 4 bits. But since you look so amazing in it, do you want it free?”
I nodded crazily.
She even let me walk out of the store with it on.
Best day ever.

Entry #4
Dear Diary,
A month has passed.
I am half way through my punishment of no flying.
It's terrible. I mean, I like the fact that I get to read and all, but it's kinda killing me to know that weeks and weeks and bone-building is lost.
I wont be able to fly so fast anymore, unless I go into super-hard training or something.
I will though.
Bye.
I sighed. Since I passed the one month mark, I was able to be released out of the hospital, but no flying.
Which meant it was grounded to my cloud home.
Mom had to do a lot of work on it, since most of the things in there were only accessible by flying.
But it was easy, all she had to do was find a few clouds and patch the holes up.
I spent my days walking in the house, but one day, I decided to do something fun.
I went out to our front porch and looked out. There were a few clouds. I sat there, waiting untill one came close enough.
Stepping carefully so the cloud would'nt break, I got myself onto it.
Then, using my good wing, I propelled myself around.
I went around my house, too scared to go any further.
It was a lot of fun, and I would go back into my room right before my mom was supposed to come home. If she saw me do it, she would be really scared.
Entry #5
Dear Diary,
Today I sat on a clouds and propelled myself around the house with my good wing.
It was really fun, but I only went around my house.
If I went any further, the clouds might burst and then what?
I would fall to the ground like a rock.
That would suck.
Bye.
I woke up and yawned a few days later.
Checking my calendar, I found out that this was my last day of no flying.
Oh. So that's why I was so exited yesterday.
I did my usual wing propel thing, but I unbound my hurt wing and tried moving it too.
At first it hurt a lot, and I cursed when It started.
But then, after a while of moving it, the pain faded, and I was able to flap it nicely.
Then I tried hovering. I jumped up into the air, then started flapping my wings methodically.
It didint work, and I fell.
Luckily, the fall was'nt bad enough to break through the cloud, and I fell into soft, dry bubbles.
I tried again and again though, up until dark when my mom came home. By then, I could pretty much fly. So, I flew home off of the cloud.
Entry #6
Dear Diary,
Today I flew, the first in a long time.
It felt good, although painful at first.
I found out that I needed to flap my hurt wing faster than my other, because if I flapped them at the same speed and time, I would fall over.
Dam.
I unevened my wings.
Ill have to sort it out by flying with my hurt wing only for a few months. :D :D :D that will be fun.
bye.
After another month, I evened my wings. I could fly perfectly like usual.
I didint have much endurance, but I worked on that quite often.
Pretty soon, I worked my wingpower up to 14.2 wingpower.
I used Twilight's wing anamoneter thingy or whatever.
I was almost as fast as Rainbow Dash!!!
She had 16.5 wingpower.
Wow. Thats fast.

Entry #7
Dear diary,
It's been 2 weeks since I measured my wingpower on the anaometer.
I have raised my wingpower by 0.1. That means I now have 14.3 wingpower.
Im proud of myself, although it's just point o.
Whatever, im working on it.
Bye.
I closed my diary and sighed.
Rainbow Dash wanted to get all the pegesi up to 10.0 wingpower.
I had gotten 4.3 higher.
I was so proud of myself.
I opened my diary again.
Entry #7 part 2
Im gonna go see Rainbow Dash now and tell her. Maybe we can have a race!
Yeah, dream on Aurora. :D
Probably not a race.
But im still going to go see Rainbow Dash.
Bye.
I bucked a hole in my room, dashing out and pretending I was Rainbow Dash.
“She goes faster, and faster, untill a cone forms infront of her hooves.” I whispered to myself like an announcer.
“And then, colour starts to burst from it as it turns into a cone!” I flew past a cloud house.
“She feels like shes getting sucked into something, and the next thing ya know... SHE PERFORMED THE SONIC RAINBOOM! SHOOOM!” I gave my wings an extral little burt of speed, aiming torwards rainbow dash's house.
“SHOOM! She flies across equestria, spreading rainbows in her wake.” I whispered.
Then I got to her house.
Dusting myself off, I knocked on her door, and the brown stallion answered.

Yeah, just kidding.
The brown stallion didin't answer the door.
Rainbow dash opened the door.
“Heya, squirt! I thought I heard a near-sonic rainboom coming for my house!” She joked.
“Ha ha, very funny. But, listen! I got my wingpower really high! Wanna know how high?”
“Yeah! If you got over 10.0 that close to a shattered wingbone, or restored it, then thats amazing!”
“I got 4.3 over 10.0”
Rainbow dash tapped her chin with her hoof, doing the math in her head.
“Im no good at math, but do you have 14.3 wingpower?”
“eyup” I said, very much like applejack's brother, big macintosh.
“Wow! Looks like i've got a rival!!!”
“Eyup. Listen, I've gotta go. My mom's coming home from work soon, and if I dont skedaddle, sh-”
“I totally understand. Skedaddle then, but come back someday! Im getting lonely here!” she called as she pushed my off her porch.
I didint open my wings, but I saluted her like I was in the army when I fell. Then I opened my wings and shot through the air torwards home.
I got there just as my mom knocked on the door.
“Oh, there you are Aurora. Were did you go?”
“I went to rainbow dash's house to tell her how high my wingpower is.” I beamed, anticipating that she was gonna ask me how high.
“How high is it?”
“14.3”
“Well, ive forgotton wingpower measures. How high Is Rainbow Dash? I can compare it that way.”
“16.5”
“Phew! Thats fast honey! Your fast too! Im real proud of you, c'mere.” she said, opening her arms for a flying hug.
I huged her hard.
“Did you lock the door when you left, Aurora?”
“Oh, um... I dunno. Here, lemme open it.”
I bucked a hole in the door, then got a cloud that looked big enough.
Ushering my mom inside, I crafted a door with a handle and stuck it into the doorway.
“I didint know you could do that.” she said.

Chapter 16
I trotted along the streets of ponyville, humming a little song that Sweetie Belle sang for me and the crusaders.
The time is right  
hold your breath  
use all your might,  
dont you ever let go.
Ill help you see~  
Ill help you see~~  
thats just what you mean to me.
Cant you see  
the way  
cant you see  
the day  
cant you see  
the light  
the flight  
the right  
kind of path...
Choose it for me~~  
come on and find me~~  
find me where you know~  
where you can,   
where you can~~~~
It was a sweet, random song written incorrectly and not the way songs should be written.
Thats what she told us.
But, she also told us that she didint care about that.
Then she sang this song.
It was adorable.
Scootaloo even made a really complex dance with it.
Later on, when I was laying on a hill, watching the sunset, she asked me how I learned to fly.
I smiled at the memory.
“I was supposed to be flying before I knew how. So my mom pushed me off a cloud and watched.”
Scootaloo widened her eyes in terror.
“Dont worry, she caught me when I didint know how. While I was falling, she would yell at me. FLAP! FLAP! FLAP, CELESTA DAMMN IT! It was so funny.”
We laughed together.
“Do you think you could teach me how? Like, not the way your mom did.”
I looked over at her. Her tiny wings had grown, and they now looked big and strong enough to fly with them.
“Shure. How's tommorow?”
“Awesome!”
Entry #11
Dear diary,
Today scootaloo asked me if I could teach her how to fly.
I said yes, and so I think we will start with the basics.
We'll have her wing muscle built up in no time.
Bye
The next day, we started with 20 wing push ups. These were the same as push ups, exept instead of using your hooves, you use your wings. I got through them quickly since I was use to much more, but scoots needed some more help.
“Lift your body. You look like jello. You need to be able to be so stiff that a pony could walk on you.” I instructed.
Seeing her look of alarm, I hastily said “dont worry, nopony will.”
After that, we did a couple of wingstands on the wall, which were the same thing as handstands, but you used your wings.
“When are we gonna fly?” scootaloo whined after she fell down from a wingstand.
In the middle of one, I said “Probably not untill tommorow. We need you to have really strong wing muscles, so that you can keep yourself in the air by hovering.”
I demonstrated hovering by flying in one place.
She tried, but could only hold it for two seconds.
“Fourty more wing push ups!” I barked at her, sounding very much like rainbow dash.

Chapter 19
The brown one chuckled.
“This was too easy.” he said. “so lets just cut to the chase. Quickspin, you get the little one. Not to hard. Basketball, you can help me with the big one.”
My mouth was not boun yet, which was stupid of them, but scootaloo's was.
“Scootaloo!” I shouted before they could stop me. “Fight dont give up!”
This was going to be hard. We were in position so that we could see each other, and I really mean see.
I closed my eyes and let the tears flow as basketball and the brown leader tied my mouth shut.
Then he moved to under my tail and started rubbing, like before.
Then he moved closer and shoved all 15 centimeters in, fast and hard. My eyes opened wide.
I cried out through my bonds, pain searing through me.
Then he began to thrust and keep up the rhythm.
Scootloo watched in horror.
I just gave her a sympathetic look. And a pleding one. To do anything.
My nethers burned. It started to hurt more and more. And then, it turned into a guilty pleasure that felt real good.
I moaned against my bonds and my eyes narrowed.
Then basketball moved torwards my mouth and undid the bounds.
Then he thrust his thing in and started pumpin in and out.
Scootaloo saw it and started yelling at the top of her lungs, the rope muffling her every sound.
I just ignored her.
I was being raped, but It felt so good.
I wateched quickspin come near scootaloo and undo her mouth bonds.
Before she could shout anything, he put his... thingy... into her mouth and started pumping in and out, just like basketball.
Scootaloo struggled. It must have been terrible for her.
Me, one the other hand, I was starting to get a feeling I could not explain. Like a balloon...
To my guilty delight, the brown one did not stop.
The balloon inside of me was getting bigger, any moment now it would burst.
I looked over at scootaloo again. Quickspin got out of her mouth and covered her muzzle in some sort of white liquid.
I grimaced. Was the brown one gonna do the same to me? I hoped not.
The balloon burst. It felt even better than before.
I could feel myself getting filled up, it was amazing.
He must have been filling me up with the strange white liquid.
There was so much of it.
My eyes rolled back into my skull, pleasure seeping in.
Then my mouth was filled with it. There was just so much.
Then, they pulled their things out and more white liquid seeped from my nethers and mouth.
It tasted bitter and choking, as I was brought back to reality.
Then, they just left us there, still on our knees.

Chapter 24
“DODGE IT!” Scootaloo shrieked.
I flew up, dodging a huge beam that would have crushed me instantly.
Then I flew over to the burning log ontop of scootaloo.
Using all my strength, I lifted the log up enough so that she was free.
“Unh... fly... away.. cant. Hold this for long. Uuh.” I managed to yell out.
“I cant fly!” Was the reply. She started inching away from the huge rafter I held up.
As soon as she was out from under it, I dropped the beam and plucked her off the ground before the impact of it could shake the ground.
When it did, the fire only became more hellish.
Tears burned like acid in my eyes. My lungs were filled with smoke. Far off, I could hear the annoying sound of a siren as It pirced my ears.
And, man it was so hot. I Forced myself to keep my eyes open as my nightmare came true.
Flames were everywhere.
Chewing up wood and rafters that fell upon me.
Smoke drowned out my lungs.
I had no idea where the way out was.
I stumbled and fell as a huge piece of burning wood fell ontop of me.
It crushed my wings and body.
I could smell the smoke and scent of burning flesh.
I knew the pain was just about to sear through me, when Scootaloo shouted at me and started pulling me out from underneath the wood.
“Get up! Wake up! You need to save me!!! Get the hell up! I dont want to die yet!” She hollered.
I got out from underneath the debris, Following her as she blindly navigated us out of the burning house.
I noticed she was holding somehting, but I quickly forgot about it as I shouted out a falling brick to her.
She missed it by an inch, screaming and flying away from it.
And then, I felt fresh, cool air. Non smoky, the nice taste of it overwhelmed me as the world turned black.

Chapter 26
I craned my neck to look at her, my mouth wide agape.
“I mean, your almost a mare, right? If its okay with your parents and you, I could live with you, and we could be with each other. I mean, we already love each other enough that were already sisters.” She rambled on. “But then you saved me from ceirtain death and a fire and taught me how to fly, and ussually mothers teach their childen how to fly and....” She triled off, looking at my jaw-drop.
“Um. Bad idea?” She asked, tears springing to her eyes.
“Scootaloo. Im going to talk to you like a grown-up. Because I think this is important.” The doctor inserted himself in the conversation. He lifted his hoof and closed my mouth, talking again. “Are oyu really shure that you want her to be your mother? I can find many other willing mares, who-”
“Yes im sure. She has been there for me all the time, and I know I loved her even in our tragic first fight. She is the best friend a pony could ask for, and I would be honored if you would want to be my mom. What do you say, aurora?” She siad more to me than the doctor.
“I-I say.. I say...” I stammered over the words, unshure of how I should put it. “I Say that even without a stallion, it would be the greatest thing in the world to be your mother. Yes, scootaloo. Yes! I will be your mother!!!”
I grabbed her hoof in mine, squeezing it.
Then We both hugged and burst into tears.
Despite his protest, even the doctor was sniffling.
Julyah closes the book with her pink hoof, looking torwards the audience.
“And so, Aurora decided to be scootaloo's mom.” She smiles. “I think that I wont ever stop writing this story. Maybe there will be no end. I dunno. Maybe. I love writing it, Its so much fun. The only thing im afraid of is that i'll run out of ideas. Can anypony leave ideas in the comment box below?”
She points down.
“I need ideas. I really do. The Ideas can be anything, but please do keep in mind that I may not use all of them.” She says, tapping her hoof to her head.
“Oh, yeah. And I just want to issue a thanks to my #1 fan, thunderbolt. That user had been really supportive. Gosh, im glad I have a pink coat so that no one can see me blushing.”
She giggles. Looking down, she opens the book again.
“Nah, Ill end the chapter right here. How about that?” She says, closing the book and laughing at your dissapointed look.
(no rhyme intended)

Chapter 29
Scootaloo leaded me over to fluttershy's cottage.
“You dodo! Fluttershy's not next,...” I trailed off.
We both laughed as we realized fluttershy was next.
We lightly taped on the door, only for her to answer after the second knock.
“Hello girls. What brings you here?” She asked.
“We have some big neeeeews, big news so dear.” I sang.
“Oh, please do tell me. But first just take a step inside.” She sang to the same tune.
Scootaloo just grinned and watched us sing together.
“Sure, if you'll kindly just step aside.” I flew inside with scootaloo.
“Take a seat, and tell me what brings you here.”
“Big news that we have to tell you. Big news, fluttershy dear.”
“oh, Aurora do tell me. Im practically drooling with anticipation.”
“Well, I cant rhyme with that.” I said.
We three pegesi laughed.
“Okay, then just tell me.”
“Well, scootaloo wants to be my filly. And I said yes.”
“So, you like adopted her?” Fluttershy asked in astonishment.
“Yeah, and now she's my mom.” Scootaloo said.
“The best mom ever she will be,” Fluttershy sang.
“The best most fantasticest mom in the world for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!” Scootaloo yelled.
All of us knew she could'nt sing, including her, so we all laughed again.
“Hey, we have to go. Tell everyone else!!!” Scootaloo realized.
“Oh, yeah. Too bad. Well, bye fluttershy!”
“Goodbye girls.”
We went out the door, trotting torwards ponyville square and thingking about who was next.
Pinkie pie.

Chapter 31
Rainbow dash was next, and The handy part was that she was sleeping in a tree right next to Sugarcube corner.
Scootaloo was about to wake her up when I shook my head no.
“We should totally prank her.” I whispered.
She smiled and nodded.
“Stay here.” I whispered.
I wnet back into sugarcube corner and asked pinkie if I could borrow a jar of honey.
“Oh, sure. I have Jars of honey stashed all over ponyville incase of a honey emergency.”
She grabbed one out of nowhere.
Rolling my eyes and smirking, I took it and a spoon.
We lightly drizzled the honey all over her face, avoiding her eyes and hair.
Then we opened her wings gently and pured honey onto her coat where she tucked her wings.
Then, we tucked her wings neatly.
Scootaloo and me were burstng, tying not to laugh.
Finnaly, we were done and her wings and face was covered in sticky, sweet honey.
We also covered her front hoves in it.
Right when we finished the second front hoof, I laughed out loud.
Scootaloo shot me a panicked look and followed me into a nearby tree.
It hid us well.
Rainbow dash sat up, saing “What?”
Realizing that she was fine, she settled back into bed.
She sighed.
“Cant get back to sleep.” She muttered.
I covered my mouth with my hoof to keep from laughing.
I looked down at scootaloo, who was doing the same.
“Where did that pot of honey com from, I wonder?” We heard rainbow dash say.
Shoot. If she figured out-
“Whatever.”
I let myself exhale.
“What the?”
We peeked out to see rinbow unfold her wings.
Drops of honey fell slowly to the ground, as she watched in awe.
Then she looked at her hooves.
I almost burst out again. She must not feel the honey on her face.
“Oh, no! Ohnoohnoohnoohnoohshoot.” She said.
We saw her fall of the tree intentionally, landing on her hooves.
I beckoned Scootaloo to follow me.
I got on the grond behind the tree and walked into the clearing like nothing was happening. Scootaloo followed, looking really innocent.
“Hi rainbow dash. Oh, my. Did you get in an accident with pinkie pie? Your face and wings are covered in honey.”
“Ha. You look hilarious.” Scootaloo added.
Rainbow blushed, then turned mad.
“Some pranksters put this on me. When I get them, Ill kill them!!!” Then she laughed. “Help me clean up, will ya, Aurora?”
I nodded and walked over to her. In the fountain, we cleaned off all the honey.
“So, dashie. We have big news.” I said.
“Oh yeah? What about?”
“Im adopting scootaloo.”
“As, like a sister or a mom?”
“Mom.”
“Wow! Thats so cool! Good luck with that!!!!” She grinned. “I have to go now.. So bye!”
“Bye rainbow.” Scootaloo said. “We put the honey on you, did you know that?”
Dash turned on us, looking mad and confused.
“JUST KIDDING!!!” we hollered and took off.

Chapter 34
After a while of playing outside, Scootaloo came in.
“Hey, mom?” She asked.
“Yeah?”
“Can I have a sleepover at sweet apple acres with sweetie belle and applebloom? I have to tell them the news.”
“Did they invite you?”
“Duh. Yes.”
“Sure. Grab all your stuff and head out. See you tommorow at... lunch?”
“Lunch. Thanks mom! Love you!” She flew out the door.
Youbicool: our date is still on, right?
Aurorahtepegasus: Of course.
Youbicool: You do know that your username is spelled wrong right?
Aurorahtepegasus: Yeah. I know, Its spelled hte instead of the.
Youbicool:.
Aurorahtepegasus: lol. Cant wait for tonight. Promise you wont actually be a stinky old hobo that just wants to use me?
Youbicool: Promise. Lol.
I said bye to him and got off the computer. I went over to my kitchen to get a snack. Daffodils would have to do at the moment.
Chewing on them, I went through my closet.
I decided not to wear anything, just to go as me.
When the time came, I flew over to the cafe in ponyville, dusting myself off and trotting over.
I waited at the entrance, exited about my first date.
Some stallions went in and out, talking to their company.
One particular one was a unicorn dressed in a tux. He had a handsome light blue coat and chocolate brown mane and tail.
“Hi. Im looking for a pegasus named aurora. Had she showed up yet?” He asked the manager. He had a really soft voice, but not to soft. It sounded kind and warm.
“Um. Thats me.. Im aurora. Are you... Youbecool?” I trotted over.
“Yeah. Thats me. Wow. Your prettier in person. Shall we?” He asked, holding his arm out.
I took it and we walked into the Cafe together.
He ordered a chocolate chaos milkshake, and I took a minty dafodill one.
“Good choice!” He said.
“Yeah, back at you!” I smiled warmly. He seemed to admire my smile. He talked and acted happier when I smiled.
It was like in a corny love movie where my smile would stop the world or somthing. His did too.
We talked for a while, and I told him about scootaloo, her mom and dad, the fire. Also about how I taught her to fly, and her friends.
His horn glowed blue when he used magic. The blue was so pretty, I just wanted him to use magic forever.
He told me that he lived alone in a house near mine, and that he already had work. He worked as a dj. His cutie mark was a moon and a black music note on it.
He walked me home. Or, atleast. He walked me to the ground under my house.
“Good bye, Aurora. We can still chat by internet.”
“What is your name? You havent told me the whole date!!!!”
“My name.” He said, “Is music of the moon.”
