Scootaloo matured majorly over the past three months. Fluttershy and Angel kept Scootaloo in Fluttershy's walk in closet that she never used. They designed it into her room, having a little bed and she hung her clothes on the racks above her bed. Fluttershy gave Scootaloo some stickers to use for her room. And, Scootaloo placed them on her face and giggled.

Fluttershy had too keep Scootaloo's identity a secret for one reason, so Fluttershy was safe. Many contradict Fluttershy about not being able to handle fillies. Also, what would the fillies at school say to Scootaloo if they found out she doesn't know who her real mom is. She would get teased, and it would be Fluttershy's fault. And all this worry gives Fluttershy anxiety and stress.

Scootaloo searched the cabinets for a snack.

"Scootaloo, what are you doing?" Fluttershy said, walking in the kitchen and smiling.

"I want a snacky!" Scootaloo smiled.

"You have to do your work first", Fluttershy said, pointing to the ABC chart.

Considering she didn't want Scootaloo's identity being even in school, she began home-schooling her a year before than the local school accepts.

"But I want swome Gwassy Swandwhiches!" Scootaloo said.

"Please do the chart for me?" Fluttershy said, sitting on the floor with Scootaloo.

"Okie mommy", Scootaloo said, waddling over to the table.

Fluttershy was kind of shocked, Scootaloo never had called her Mom, or Mommy before. Was she getting that close to her? Of course she was, she's raising Scootaloo.

Scootaloo grabbed a crayon and traced the words. Fluttershy helped her out every now and then, especially with the W's and N's.

Time passed, and it was Nightmare Night. Scootaloo got a vampire mask and a cape. She also got her pillow case, and carried it over her shoulder.

"Candy time!" Scootaloo smiled.

Angel hung back and stayed at the cottage to give candy to the fillies coming. He gave Scootaloo five pieces of candy before they left.

"Wow, this is a pwetty town!" Scootaloo said, walking with Fluttershy through the town.

They knocked on the first door, and got three pieces of candy. The next house, instead of a mare or colt, was a filly around Scootaloo's age. She had a grey mane, and pink glasses. She wore a purple dress, and had a tiara on.

"Hewwo, i'm a vampire!" Scootaloo said. "Roar!"

The filly smiled, and got the bowl of candy from behind her. She gave Scootaloo eight pieces.

"Hey", she said. "Are you going to the Public School next year?"

"I think so", Scootaloo said. "Are we mommy?"

She looked up at Fluttershy. Fluttershy thought of Scootaloo's Walk in Closet/room, and shivered.

"I home-school her", Fluttershy said.

"Aww", the filly said. "Well, I hope to see you soon."

And with that, the filly closed the door. The two of them went around Ponyville, getting so much candy that Fluttershy had to hold the bag.

After trick-or-treating, Scootaloo went straight off to her room. Fluttershy just sat on a wooden chair in her kitchen, and just began thinking. There was something that she was missing.

"Am I not doing good, being a parent? Maybe I should have more fun with her... or maybe she doesn't like her room. Of course she does! It's her own, I never had my own room as a foal."

Fluttershy slouched forward in the chair when she felt a poke on her hoof. Angel was there, holding up a drawing made by Scootaloo. It was Scootaloo herself, or she thought, considering her mouth was on the floor.

"Put it on the table Angel", Fluttershy said, patting the old wooden table.

"Hi!" Scootaloo said to one of the Chickens in the pen. "I'm Scootaloo, what's your name?"

"SQUAK!" the Red Chicken - Mr. Cluck - ran around the pen in alarm of the new pony.

"Scootaloo", Fluttershy said calmly, "Remember what I told you?"

"But I didn't feed the-"

"Remember what I told you?" Fluttershy interrupted.

"Don't go close the Mr. Cluck", Scootaloo said, her head hung in shame.

"Your not in trouble", Fluttershy said. "Just be careful, Mr. Cluck isn't exactly happy today."

Mr. Cluck squawked at one of the baby chickens, then ran inside the Hen House.

In the distance, two fillies walked along the path toward Fluttershy's Cottage. But of course, Fluttersy didn't notice because she was carefully feeding the Chickens. But Scootaloo however, noticed perfectly clear.

The two fillies walked like super stars. One of them was light pink, with a purple and white mane. She had a sparkly tiara placed on her mane, making her look special. She had crisp blue eyes, staring deep at her next rival, Scootaloo.

The other one followed behind. She was grey, with a light grey and white mane. She wore her mane in a Ponytail, and have blue glasses on. She also had a pearl necklace on, and sparkling purple eyes. She was the filly Scootaloo had met on Nightmare Night.

The two fillies past by Scootaloo, on their way to Fluttershy. Fluttershy heard hoof-steps, and whipped around. She saw the two fillies, still in fear. She eyed Scootaloo, who stared at the two fillies in awe.

"Hello girls, how can I help you?" Fluttershy said, still glancing at Scootaloo every five seconds.

"Hi Fluttershy", the pink one said, slightly like a diva. "Were here too see if we can adopt any pets? Like maybe, a cute little kitty!"

"That would be so adorable with your Tiara, Di!" the grey one said.

"Oh uhm, just come with me", Fluttershy said, leading them to a small pen that had a roof. In the pen, were two kitties.

"Oh, oh, the grey one!" the pink one said. Fluttershy flew in and picked the little kitten up.

"This is Zia", Fluttershy said, handing the filly the kitten softly. "You must take good care of her, okay?"

"Of course Fluttershy!" the filly said.

"Now, Silver Spoon", Fluttershy said, looking at the grey filly. "You can help by feeding Zia, okay?"

"Alright Fluttershy!" Silver Spoon said in glee.

"Off you girls go", Fluttershy said, handing them a grooming cone. "Be careful!"

"We will!" Silver Spoon said, and the two trotted off with the kitten.

And all that time, Scootaloo wondered about the outside world, what it was like outside the Cottage, during the day. Not night, the day. Were there fillies like her? She would have to sneak out, and find out herself.
