(SHORT)Chapter 7: MaybeChapter 1: Why Not."Mom, where's my saddlebag!?" Scootaloo yelled from the kitchen. "I have it!" Fluttershy yelled, tossing It over the railing of upstairs. It landed on Scootaloo's back perfectly. "Do you have your lunch?" Fluttershy said, flying down the steps. "Yes mom", Scootaloo groaned. "I'm sorry, your just going into Pony High and I'm nervous for you." Fluttershy adjusted Scootaloo's necklace. It was a locket of her and Scootaloo hugging, from when Scootaloo was revived, many moons ago. "Trust me mom. I'm going to school with Dinky", Scootaloo said. "Also, she's going to introduce her friends to me from Swimming Camp. She says their really cool, so why not meet them." "Also, don't forget that Rumble you've been eyeing", Fluttershy nudged her and chuckled. Scootaloo blushed. "We met at Sugar Cube Corner", Scootaloo said. She rubbed the back of her head. "Have you been sharing milkshakes with him?" Fluttershy asked, getting a little aggressive. "Mom!" Scootaloo yelled, stomping her hoof on the ground. "Sorry", Fluttershy said. "Can I at least walk with you two?" "Fine." Fluttershy got her coat, and put it on. She stared at Scootaloo, who was adjusting her piercings. She's grown so much, it's amazing. "Mom?" Scootaloo asked. "Sorry", Fluttershy snapped out of it. "Let's go." Let's catch up on the story. Scootaloo grew up, and she's now a teenager. She got her cutie mark, which is a Scooter. She graduated Grammar School, and Pony Junior High. She got a job, at Sugar Cube Corner. And, she's made tons of new friends and enemies after she had been revived by Princess Luna. Fluttershy updated the house, considering Scootaloo was growing up. She added an upstairs which contained a bathroom and Scootaloo's new bedroom. Fluttershy's was in the same place, except she used the walk-in closet to store Scootaloo's and Fluttershy's extra things, like pillows. Fluttershy opened the door, and the both walked down the path. They passed Scootaloo's old school, and Sugar Cube Corner. The path ended at Pony High, the new school they built four years ago for teenagers just like Scootaloo. In front of the school were a few ponies. Fluttershy spotted Dinky. She nudged Scootaloo and pointed to her best friend. Scootaloo ran over, and Fluttershy just watched. "Hey Dinky!" Scootaloo said. Dinky smiled. "Hey there Scoot", she greeted. "You wanna meet my friends?" "One second", Scootaloo said. She ran over to Fluttershy and hugged her. "Have a good day, okay?" Fluttershy said, hugging back. Scootaloo released. "Of course." She flew back to her friend, and Fluttershy watched for a few seconds. She headed back home, waiting for Scootaloo to tell her about her school day. ~~ The bell ringed, as a signal for the period was over. Scootaloo grabbed her things and placed them in her saddlebag. She left Science, and flew downstairs to her locker. She unlocked it, placed her saddlebag in, closed the locker, then headed to lunch. She ordered her favorite meal since she was a filly, Grass Sandwiches. She found Dinky next to some ponies, and she sat across. "Hey", Dinky said. Scootaloo gave a small wave as she dug into her Grass Sandwich. The other two friends stared. "She likes Grass Sandwiches", Dinky explained. Scootaloo finished up, and she pointed to her new piercing, a star at the top of her ear. "Oh my gosh!" Dinky said, leaning over the table and looking. "How come I never noticed?" "I put it on in the bathroom", Scootaloo said. "Cool", Dinky said, smiling. "Scootaloo, to your right is Apple Bloom. She's Applejack's sister." "Howdy", Apple Bloom said. She had her red-ish pink mane up in a ponytail, with a pink bow keeping it in place. She had crisp orange eyes, and a apple cutie mark, like the rest of the Apple family. "Hi", Scootaloo said. "Next to me is Sweetie Belle, she's Rarity's sister", Dinky said. "Hiya!" Sweetie Belle said. She had a pink and purple mane, which she kept in a braid. She had green eyes, and a green dress cutie mark. "Hey", Scootaloo said. "I've heard good things about you both." "Good", Apple Bloom said. "Dinky told us some fancy things about ya' too." The four continued eating their lunch. The bell rung, and all the ponies left. Scootaloo waved goodbye to her friends, then went to her locker. She quickly grabbed her saddlebag, closed the door, then flew two flights of stairs for Mathematics. She looked for a seat, and saw one in the second row. She had a seat, and put her saddlebag underneath. Soon, all the seats filled up. "Hello class", the teacher walked in. "My name is Miss. Pommel, and today we shall work in groups of two. I made a list of all the groups here on this list." Miss. Pommel placed the chart of names on a display on the wall. "The list says what page you will work on, and which partner. At the end please hand in all the work you did, thank you." All the class got up and looked at the chart. Scootaloo waited a few seconds to get up, considering she didn't want to be run over. She saw her name. Scootaloo and Rumble = Page 33 Scootaloo's heart skipped a beat. She was working with Rumble, the colt she met at her job! Scootaloo searched the crowd of ponies when she saw Rumble at his desk flipping through the pages of his math textbook. Scootaloo grabbed hers and walked over. "Sup", Rumble said. "Hey, I'm your partner", Scootaloo said awkwardly. "Mk, have a seat", Rumble said. He pulled up a chair toward his desk. Scootaloo sat down. "So what's up?" Rumble said. "Nothing much", Scootaloo said. The two worked on their math for the whole period. When the bell rung, they both handed in their papers. Scootaloo grabbed her saddlebag. Math was her last class, so finally she was gonna go home. Scootaloo got outside and sat on a bench. Rumble came outside of the school and sat next to her. "Hey uhm, wanna hang out sometime?" he asked. Scootaloo screamed in her head. "YES! I mean, uhm, why not?" Scootaloo said. "How 'bout tomorrow at the sugar shop?" Rumble asked, looking through his saddlebag. "Sure", Scootaloo smiled. "See ya in Math", Rumble said. He tied his saddlebag's string to make sure it wouldn't open, then flew home. Scootaloo did a tiny scream, but no-pony heard her. She got up and waited for Dinky. When Dinky came out, Scootaloo told her everything. "He asked you to hang out!?" Dinky yelled as they walked home. "I know right!" Scootaloo said. The two got up to Dinky's house, and Dinky stopped at her doorstep. She pointed to Scootaloo. "No making out until your dating!" She yelled. Scootaloo laughed as Dinky went inside. This will be fun to tell mom. Chapter 2: Sugar Shop."Absolutely not", Fluttershy said, cleaning the counter. "Remember, you have training with Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo had asked Rainbow Dash to help her train for The Wonderbolt Academy. She really had been looking forward to this, until now. "Mom, this is Rumble!" Scootaloo whined. "He's like, the cool colt of the school!" "And I'm the angry mom of the Scootaloo", Fluttershy said. She turned around and looked at Scootaloo. "Scootaloo, you know I don't break promises with Rainbow Dash. She's looking forward to this." "Rainbow Dash would let me go if you were training me", Scootaloo sighed. "Did Rainbow Dash raise you?" Fluttershy asked. She gave Scootaloo a stern look. "Can I please?' Scootaloo asked. "I'll work it out with Rainbow, but if she says no then your re-scheduling your little date", Fluttershy said, chuckling. She went outside to water the flowers. Scootaloo had to do her two chores before doing her homework. She grabbed her bucket from one of the cabinets and went outside. She grabbed a brown package. Scootaloo ripped it open, and poured the Chicken Mix in the bucket. She came up to the Chicken Pen, and flew over it. She poured the mix all over the pen, and the Chickens squawked in glee. Next, Scootaloo had to practice her flying. It was considered one of her chores, because it was that important. She kicked some clouds, and sped around the cottage. Fluttershy had expanded her property a bit more, about two acres for her new barn. When Scoot was finished, she headed inside to work on her homework. She finished up everything considering she only had two assignments. Scootaloo packed all of her work into her saddlebag, then brought it upstairs. She put on her uniform for Sugar Cube Corner, a grey vest with a small cupcake in the right corner like a polo. Scootaloo told Fluttershy she was leaving, and she flew to Sugar Cube Corner. She grabbed her keys to get inside the 'Staff' area. Pinkie Pie greeted her. Scootaloo went up to the cashier, and waited for a first customer on her shift. Not a lot of ponies came to Sugar Cube Corner that day. Just the typical ponies. Derpy, Rarity, and so on. But the not typical pony came in today, Rumble. "Hey", he greeted. "Uhm hey, Rumble", Scootaloo freaked out. "Can I get a Cupcake Pie?" Rumble asked. "Uh, sure", Scootaloo said. She went to the cooking room in the back and got a Cupcake Pie from the display. She brought it back to the Cashier and placed it on the counter. "Five bits", Scoot said, opening up the cashier. Rumble placed four bits on the table, then flew off. Scootaloo counted only four, and she looked up. No Rumble. Maybe he was in a hurry... She finished up her shift. It was dusk when she finished up her job, so she went home on the path in the dark. But she was stopped my somepony, odd. The pony put their hoof out, making Scootaloo stop. "Fly the greatest", the pony whispered. Scootaloo narrowed her eyes, trying to figure out who was the pony underneath the grey hood. "Feed the slowest", the pony whispered. "Eh, thanks for the advice", Scootaloo said. She quickly flew over the pony, but the mysterious figure teleported in front of Scootaloo. "Do you know who I am?" the pony asked. "Don't know, don't care", Scootaloo flew up once more. But, the pony flew up with Scootaloo. The pony breathed, very loudly. Like they had a cold or something. "I have spent countless moons trying to escape for you", the pony hissed. "Don't care", Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "Can I go now?" The pony stook their hoof out in a signal to go. Scootaloo flew away, but she heard a chant that had faded out in her school. The very chant that had caused Scootaloo rage. "Scoot, scoot, Scootaloo", the pony chuckled. Scootaloo turned around, and stared at the pony whom had ruined Fluttershy's life. Princess Twilight Sparkle. Her horn was a flashlight for her in the night, shining over the grass below. She removed her hood, revealing cuts on her cheek. "You remember me as the murderer, don't you?" Twilight grinned. The light from her horn cast on her face, making her seem surreal. "Why do you want to hurt me?" Scootaloo yelled. "You already hurt my mom." "I'm not even here to hurt you, poor Scootaloo", Twilight said, pouting. "Go away", Scootaloo flapped away toward the cottage, as Twilight stayed flying in the same spot, watching Scootaloo's every movement. She teleported away, to an unknown place. ~ "Twilight escaped Canterlot Prison!?" Fluttershy yelled in the night. "How!?" "She said she's been trying for many moons", Scootaloo repeated for the fifth time. "What if she's trying to kill you again!? Or, what if she wants to get back at me?" Fluttershy ran around the kitchen in major thought. "Mom it's fine", Scootaloo said, reaching out to hug Fluttershy. But, Fluttershy refused. "Twilight killed you Scootaloo", Fluttershy said. "She's a Princess. of Magic. She can teleport, she can fly, she can do anything that her magic desires. And this worries me because she went to Jail considering Princess Celestia found out about Twilight killing you. And I'm nervous she's out to get you and the rest of us." "Mom, I don't know how she found out where I work", Scootaloo said. "She knows EVERYTHING", Fluttershy said, beginning to cry. "It's okay mom", Scootaloo said, pulling Fluttershy into a hug. "I love you Scootaloo", Fluttershy said, hugging back. "I love you too mom", Scootaloo said. Fluttershy released, the went to her room and closed the door. Scootaloo went upstairs, and fell asleep on top of her bed. Author's Note So when I published Maybe // Book 3, I swear to god it was 5:18.

So please guys, your always free to message me privately or comment below what you want to happen or anything I should explain. Just really guys, thank you! <3 Chapter 3: BabsThe bell ringed, and Scootaloo put all her things in her saddlebag. She brought her saddlebag to lunch this time, considering she would need it and not bother going to her locker. At the lunch table, was one more pony Scootaloo never met before. The atmosphere felt different. She got her food from the stand, and walked over to the table. She sat down next to Dinky this time, with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and the other pony sat across. "Hiya", the other mare said, waving. She had a short pink mane, pure green eyes, and her cutie mark was three apple seeds. She had one black piercing at the bottom of her ear. The pony grinned like Pinkie Pie. Scootaloo looked over at Dinky, who introduced the new pony. "This is Babs Seed, she's Apple Bloom's cousin", Dinky said. "She just moved here from Manehattan." "Hey, I'm Scootaloo", Scootaloo said, biting an apple. "I heard about your er, story. And I wanna apologize for all the things that happened to your family", Babs said. She obviously read Equestria Daily. That annoying reporter just had to snoop the family down, didn't he? "That was a long time ago", Scootaloo said, placing her apple on the tray, considering her interest of eating had faded away immediately. "How's Sweet Apple Acres?" Dinky asked. "Applejack's been working less and less, considering she's been seein' some colt she fonds", Apple Bloom said, rolling her eyes. "Is It Trenderhoof?" Sweetie Belle asked. "If Rarity finds out, she'll be angry as buck." "Most likely. I'm finding Mane Spray in the bathroom, and y'all know I don't use that chemical", Apple Bloom said. Scootaloo zoned out from the boring conversation. The bell rung, and all the ponies evacuated the cafeteria to their classes. Scootaloo waited till the crowd left, until she left. She hated the crowd. ~~ "Today class", Miss. Pommel said. "We will be doing a class project. Considering it's your second day of school, you kids can interact with each other for the period of class. Yesterday's project was made for today, my apologies." The class got up and started chatting. Scootaloo just sat at her desk and stared at the tile floors. But suddenly, a pony tapped his hoof on the desk. Scootaloo looked up to Rumble. "Can you come after school?" Rumble smirked. "I need to go home first and do my chores, but most likely", Scootaloo said. "Why go home when you can just come?" Rumble said. "Cause I promised my mom", Scootaloo said, looking at the tile floor again. "See you later", Rumble whispered in Scootaloo's ear, before walking over to some of the colts in the class. Mom better of fixed out that practice with Rainbow Dash. ~~~ Scootaloo walked the path home to school, her saddlebag extremely light today. She saw a shadow coming up next to her, and she looked at the pony who walked with her. Babs. "Hey", Babs said. "Mind if I walk with ya?" Scootaloo shook her head. Babs didn't talk, but Scootaloo didn't talk either when she walked with Dinky. Dinky usually did the talking. The two both got up to Sweet Apple Acres, when Scootaloo saw a extension to the barn. "They did some renovation for the pigs", Babs explained. Scootaloo nodded. Babs waved before she went inside, Scootaloo waved back. She got up to the cottage, and she walked in. "Hi mom!" Scootaloo yelled. No answer. Fluttershy walked in from Scootaloo's room with a broom. "Hi Scootaloo", Fluttershy said, flying down the stairs. "Did you get to reschedule the practice?" Scootaloo asked. "Yes, it's tomorrow", Fluttershy smiled. "Thanks mom", Scootaloo said. She quickly fed the chickens, and kicked some clouds. Scoot flew to Sugar Cube Corner after saying goodbye to Fluttershy, and looked for Rumble. She found him, sitting on a stool. But the only part that was odd was, Babs sat next to him. They both had milkshakes, also they were talking and laughing. Scootaloo sighed. She came over to Rumble - and Babs. "Hey Rumble", Scootaloo said. Rumble jumped, and turned around on his stool. "Hey", Rumble said. "So uhm, you wanted to hang out?" Scootaloo said, swaying her left front hoof. "Yea", Rumble said. "Rainbow Dash asked me if you and me wanted to train and stuff. I heard you wanted to be in The Wonderbolts, so why not?" Babs Seed got up. "He was telling me about it while I was delivering apples", she said, holding up a empty sack. Rumble signaled Scootaloo to come. They both flew up to Rainbow Dash's house, and knocked. Rainbow opened the door with her whistle wrapped around her neck. "Are you kids ready to fly?" Rainbow Dash smiled. "Yes ma'am!" Scootaloo said. Rumble nodded. "Twenty laps around my house, go!" Rainbow Dash whistled. The two Pegasi flew around the house, both getting competitive. When twenty laps was up, Rumble landed first at Rainbow Dash's house, and Scootaloo landed a second later. "Amateur", Rumble chuckled. Scootaloo slapped him with her wing, chuckling also. Throughout the day, Rainbow Dash trained them until their wings were soar. Scootaloo and Rumble both relaxed on a cloud over Fluttershy's cottage. "Nice training today", Scootaloo smiled. "Same to you", Rumble said, smiling back. "Do you wanna train again soon?" Scootaloo asked. "Definitely", Rumble said. But from the ground, one particular pony from the Apple family watched in amusement and jealousy. Babs Seed. Author's Note I literally didn't eat breakfast to finish this for you guys. Chapter 4: Mom?"Your my mom?" Scootaloo asked. "I know it's a big shocker, but yes.." *Scootaloo's P.O.V.* Woah, woah, woah. Woah. Maybe we should start, a little way back to the beginning of this story. Makes much more sense there. Rainbow Dash was talking to Soarin and Lightning Dust, when Soarin accidently said something he wasn't supposed to. "Hopefully Lightning Dust will get over Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash was shocked, and started freaking out and asking questions. "What do you mean!?" "Lightning Dust and Scootaloo?!" Of course, Lightning Dust was silent, but not Soarin. "Well Lightning Dust is Scootaloo's mom and she gave her away so she has to forget about it. But since Spitfire and Fleet Foot helped murder Scootaloo she can't exactly get over it even if she is alive, considering her teammates tried ruining her life. All because she got into a little flying accident thanks to Spitfire, and permanently damaged Fire Streak's left wing. Misty Fly also broke her snout by crashing into the collision." Rainbow Dash freaked out, just like mom and I did. Dash told mom everything, and I eavesdropped. Mom told me certain parts, but I knew everything. Lightning Dust, a pony on The Wonderbolts Reserves, was my mom. I thought Fluttershy was my mom, but she wasn't. She actually found me in a box, outside her door. Lightning Dust found out about Fluttershy at the event with The Pony Tones. She thought Fluttershy was so caring, it had to be her who would care for me. But, one of my heroes tried killing me. Fleetfoot, I could expect. She has a shady background with her parents. But why would all this happen? Couldn't Lightning Dust care for me? ~~ *Lightning Dust's P.O.V.* My brother doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. He eats too much Pie and drinks too much Apple Cider. Soarin was supposed to keep his trap shut till after I quit the Wonderbolts. But of course, he tells Rainbow Dash. She obviously told Fluttershy, who told my daughter. Why couldn't this be a happy story? I can't wait to see how much Scootaloo's grown, because Fluttershy is letting me see her. Soarin's taking me there later today, and I'm nervous. Will she like me? Will she consider me her mom now that she knows me? All these questions worry my head. But right now, I have to go cry. ~~~ I'm waiting outside the Cottage. I'm nervicited, but mostly nervous. Pinkie would mostly be excited. Don't ask. The door opens, and Fluttershy walks out. A orange pegasi with a purple mane walked out behind her. Was that Scootaloo my daughter!? Well of course it was, who else would be with Fluttershy? Scootaloo's mane was ruffled and messed up. She had pretty purple eyes, and three ear piercings on her left ear I didn't approve of. She wore a locket around her neck, I guess symbolizing that I'll never have her again. She looked at me, and wonder filled her eyes. "Your my mom?" Scootaloo asked. "I know it's a big shocker, but yes...", I trailed off. "Uh, hi", Scootaloo said awkwardly. "I'm Scootaloo." "I know that", I laughed. "I'm Lightning Dust, from The Wonderbolts." Scootaloo nodded. Soarin just chuckled. "We need pie", Soarin blurted out. "And some Hard Apple Cider..." Fluttershy, who stood a few feet away, was teary eyed. I guess she thought I was going to steal my child from her. "Do you want to, uhm, get some cupcakes?" I asked. "AND PIE!" Soarin yelled, zooming off to Sugar Cube Corner. ~~~ *Fluttershy's P.O.V.* I can't believe still that Lightning Dust is Scootaloo's mom. Well I knew I wasn't her mother, but I knew I raised her to be the best. Why did Lightning Dust just come to my Cottage, and invite my daughter for cupcakes? I'm not paying because I had no intentions of leaving my property. Scootaloo was hesitant. She looked at me, and she saw my with tears starting to fall. Scoot looked back to Lightning Dust, and shook her head no. Thank you Celestia. "Oh, okay", Lightning Dust said. "I'll just, go. Nice meeting you." Lightning Dust flew away, and I smiled. "Is this true?" Scootaloo said, not turning around to face me. "Your not my mom?" I cried, knowing that Scootaloo would be mad at me. Scootaloo turned around and looked at me. She had tears forming. She quickly flew away, in the direction of the new barn. I guess she was mad at me, I would be mad at myself also. Author's Note Some of the ideas are credits to Kittycatty321 (No Copyright, she helped me write it) :3 Chapter 5: Reason.Scootaloo didn't go to school for a week. It was too depressing, to know your mom isn't your mom. Besides, Scootaloo had no reason to leave the barn, when she fit in here. The cows don't know who their moms are, their just adopted. But she wasn't, Scootaloo was just left in a box by her careless biological mom for Fluttershy to take care of her. Maybe Fluttershy is really Scootaloo's real mom. She treated her like one, first off. Lightning Dust, which Scootaloo calls 'Careless One', did seem pretty shaky. Maybe she had tried hard to impress her daughter, but it didn't work. Of course, Scootaloo had no interest in meeting the pony who left her. Why should she? Not everypony is left at a door as a filly to be taken care of by somepony else. Mom - her fake one - had told Scootaloo that sometimes you have to deal with what life gives you. Obviously she meant it in some sort of way compared to this situation, because why else would she say that? Was chocolate rain going to fall from cotton candy clouds? Before dawn, Scootaloo sneaked inside the Cottage. She grabbed her saddlebag, considering it was a new week. She made herself some oatmeal, and packed her coat, considering the air felt heavy. Maybe the Pegasi were making a rainfall today. The sun rose, and Scootaloo headed down the path toward the school. Before she passed by Sweet Apple Acres, a pony with a hood on - covering their whole face - teleported next to Scootaloo. "Reason with me Scootaloo", Twilight said. "Fluttershy never cared about you. She was forced to care for you, unless she wanted to give you away or put you somewhere no pony would find you." "You don't know me anymore", Scootaloo hissed. Twilight just continued to walk with her. "Beep beep boop", Twilight whispered. "You remember to much", Scootaloo said. "But, Rainbow Dash did tell me you were an egg head." "I am not!" Twilight yelled. Scootaloo did a quick pfft before walking a bit faster. "Scootaloo, Fluttershy hates you", Twilight said, catching up again. "She does not", Scootaloo said, getting aggravated. "I'm an egg head, I know everything", Twilight hissed, getting under Scootaloo's skin. "SHE DOES NOT!" Scootaloo yelled, swiping at Twilight. The hit landed on her face. Twilight stumbled back, and fell. "My mother loves me", Scootaloo hissed at the fallen Twilight. "She's not your mother, remember that?" Twilight smiled as her hood fell off her head. Scootaloo ran down the path towards school, leaving Twilight on the ground near Sweet Apple Acres. ~~~ Scootaloo got her lunch, and sat next to Dinky. The others weren't at the table. "Where is everyone?" Scootaloo asked, eating her apple. "They saw what you did to that pony", Dinky said, worry in her eyes. "They said you knocked them out near Sweet Apple Acres, and Sweetie Belle believed it. Babs said she saw it." "That pony was Twilight", Scootaloo said. She crossed her front hooves on the table and put her head in between. "Really?" Dinky asked. "She escaped?" "A while ago", Scootaloo said, through her hooves. "Give me a reason why she would be here", Dinky said. "Because she's out to get Fluttershy, or me", Scootaloo said. "And I had to knock her out. She said Fluttershy didn't love me." Dinky sighed. "Should I tell them?" she asked, with some worry in her tone. "Don't tell Babs", Scootaloo said. "She's got the nerves on me." Dinky nodded. The bell rung, and all the ponies left the cafeteria for class. Scootaloo was the last one of course. Through the hallways she walked to get to Biology, which was down the hall from the Cafeteria. But, before she went inside the classroom, somepony pulled her in. The Janitor's closet. "Babs?" Scootaloo said. Babs closed the door. "You dare go near my Rumble, then I'll end ya' like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon", Babs said, spitting in Scootaloo's face. That Manehattan accent was heavy. "Listen, you just moved her", Scootaloo said, cleaning her face. "You don't even know him as much as I do." "We'll see 'bout that", Babs said. She opened the door and pushed Scootaloo out. Babs closed the door behind her, and walked casually to her next class. It was obvious, Babs was a threat. ~~~ "Spike?" Twilight whispered, walking into her old castle. "Twilight?" Spike said, walking in the entrance. "Why are you here?" "I-I escaped", Twilight smiled. "Why would you escape if you deserve it?" Spike scowled her. "Your a disgrace for killing a pony." "Well Fleet Foot and Spitfire helped", Twilight spat. "You paid them and also they wanted revenge", Spike said. "Leave." Spike turned around, and walked down a hallway. He opened a door, entered, then slammed it. Twilight had small tears coming. She left the castle, and teleported to her make-shift home/cave in Greenwood Forest. "I will get my revenge on everypony", Twilight said. A tear dripped off her face, into the dirt below. Author's Note I hope you guys like it I love you serigjwm;e.gjeghjertio;uhj Chapter 6: Death Is Powerful. (SHORT)Lightning Dust sat at a table in the cafeteria of the Wonderbolt Academy. Her only secret had been revealed, and all the ponies at the Academy knew about it. It was an 'Academy Record' for a rumor to spread around so fast. But the rumor was true. Many of the ponies ignored Lightning Dust. There was no reason, she gave away her child to keep her place on the team. Maybe considering she let Scootaloo die, that they hate Lightning. Death is powerful. ~ "Scootaloo?" Fluttershy knocked of Scoot's door. "What?" Scootaloo said through the door. "Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. "Well to find out one day your not my real mom, and the next day Twilight is trying to aggravate me, life is just great for me mom. I mean, Fluttershy." "Do you want to talk about it?" "There's already enough said." "Do you want a Grass Sandwich?" "Why, trying to make me feel better?" Scootaloo laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling. "Scootaloo please, you can't just come out your room for school and the bathroom." "I'll make it work", Scootaloo said. She pulled the covers over her body, and she zoned out until this was said. "If I told you, you wouldn't love me", Fluttershy sniffled. "And, I loved you with my heart." "You could've told me who was my mom", Scootaloo snapped. "I didn't know who your mom was!" Fluttershy yelled. ~ "So, Scootaloo and Lightning Dust know?" Spitfire snapped. "Afraid so", Fleet Foot said. "Misty Fly has been spying on them." "This plan hasn't been working", Spitfire groaned. "I don't know what to do", Fleet Foot muttered. "Your going to go and invite Scootaloo and her little boyfriend", Spitfire barked. "Why him?" Fleet Foot asked. "Let's just say, he'll do what we say for Scootaloo", Spitfire smirked. She grabbed her uniform and slipped it on. "He's just a School Colt", Fleet Foot said, slipping on her purple sunglasses. ~ "Scootaloo!" Dinky waved outside. It was Friday finally, and Scootaloo was done with school already. Next to Dinky, was Babs. "Hiya", Babs said, kind of aggressive. Scootaloo didn't greet back, she directed her attention to Dinky. "I heard Rumble has some special news for you", Dinky winked. "What news?" Scootaloo asked. "You'll see", Dinky smirked. Babs looked at the ground. You could hear girls talking from outside the school. Walking out, was Rumble. About four mares surrounded him, and Scootaloo just watched in disgust. Rumble walked over, but the mares still followed him like he was Princess Celestia. "Hey Scootaloo", Rumble said. "Can I talk to you?" Scootaloo got worried. "Uh, yeah sure", she said. Rumble signaled with his wing for her to follow. He flew away, and Scootaloo followed after him. Babs just watched. He will notice me one day, but not when that dumb excuse for a mare Scootaloo. And so, Babs walked home in silence with no one, just herself and her evil thoughts. Death is powerful. Chapter 7: MaybeRumble and Scootaloo sat on a cloud near Rumble's house. Celestia's sun was still high in the sky, and the light beamed on both of the ponies. "So, Scootaloo", Rumble said, swallowing. "I have some news." "What is it?" Scootaloo said. "Well uhm", Rumble began. "I was invited to attend The Wonderbolts Academy." "Really!?" Scootaloo said, not surprised as Rumble had been practicing all week after school. "Yea but, training is all year", Rumble said, his purple eyes filled with disappointment. "Oh", Scootaloo said. "When does training start?" "In a month", Rumble said. "Your going to miss school?!" Scootaloo asked. "Well, I'm not going alone", Rumble said. He grabbed with his wing from his saddlebag a scroll. He put in next to Scootaloo, and she opened it. Dear Rumble, You have been accepted to The Wonderbolt Academy. As your request, we have also accepted Scootaloo. We hope to see you in Rainbow Falls in a month. Thank you for your time. ~The Wonderbolts "You entered me!?" Scootaloo said, her jaw dropped open. "Well, I knew you wanted to be in The Wonderbolts Academy", Rumble chuckled. Scootaloo hugged him. "Thank you", she said. "What's your mom gonna say?" Rumble hugged back. "I don't know", Scootaloo said. They released from the hug, and Rumble tied his saddlebag to his back. "You can show your mom the letter", Rumble said. "I'll see ya on Monday." Scootaloo grinned. "Thank you", she said again. "No problem", Rumble said, smiling. He took off into the distance to his Cloud House. Scootaloo put the letter in her saddlebag and took off to the Cottage. She opened the door to Fluttershy making a meal. "Mom, guess what!" Scootaloo said, grinning. "Your happy today", Fluttershy said, looking up. Scootaloo pulled out the scroll and gave it to Fluttershy. She opened it up, and read. "Rumble entered you into The Wonderbolt Academy?!" Fluttershy asked. "Isn't that awesome!?" Scootaloo said. "Well, since it's your dream...", Fluttershy said. "I can't really say no." "Thank you", Scootaloo said, hugging Fluttershy. Besides, if Fluttershy said no Scootaloo would still go - with Rumble. She released from the hug, and flew upstairs to her room. "With Twilight on the loose, Scootaloo is in trouble", Fluttershy mumbled to herself. "What have I done?" Fluttershy cooked up dinner, and she brought Scootaloo's meal to her room. But, Scoot sat at the table with Fluttershy. It was the first time in a while she did. After dinner, Scootaloo just laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Sweet Celestia, was she lucky. She was invited to join The Wonderbolts Academy. She didn't request, she was invited. That was a good feeling inside. But watching from the window outside, was Babs. She had been stalking the whole conversation, in anger and curiosity. "Well, well, well", a familiar voice said. Babs looked up from her hiding spot and saw her. The pony that Equestria feared. Princess Twilight Sparkle. "I see you want some revenge?" Twilight smirked. "Scootaloo stole my boyfriend", Babs said. "Easy", Twilight said. Babs was shaking. "Why are you here in Ponyville?" "I'm from here, Manehattan chick", Twilight snapped. "Well, Babs Seed. I see you and I want a little something from Fluttershy's daughter." "No, I just want her to not go near Rumble", Babs said. "Unlikely", Twilight chuckled. "Rumble's in love with Scootaloo. He requested for her to go to The Wonderbolt Academy with him. And besides, he doesn't even acknowledge you when she's around. Your an Apple." "Well", Babs began, but had no words. "That's why I'm called an 'Egg Head'", Twilight smirked. "I know everything, while dumb teenagers like you try to be smart." "What do you even want from Scootaloo?" Babs asked in confusion. "I want Fluttershy's forgiveness. And only Scootaloo can get Fluttershy to forgive me." "Seems dumb", Babs chuckled. "Like you?" Twilight asked. Babs groaned. "How about a team?" Twilight said. "We both want something from Scootaloo. With my magic and your athletics, we could get everything we want." "Why should I team with you?" Babs said. "Cause your hopeless without me", Twilight said. "Maybe", Babs said. ~~ "He invited you to the WONDERBOLTS!?" Dinky yelled in her room. Scootaloo had came over to her house. "I thought you knew", Scootaloo said. "Well, I knew he had news but not something that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!" Dinky screamed. "DINKY, LOWER YOUR VOICE!" Derpy yelled from downstairs. Dinky chuckled. "I'll send you all kinds of stuff", Scootaloo smiled. "You better, I want souvenirs", Dinky said. Scootaloo narrowed her eyes. "What?" Dinky said. "I need to stare at you so I can remember you", Scootaloo said. "You should always remember me." "Well, your my best friend", Scootaloo said, stopping. "And your my Chicken", Dinky chuckled. "I told you to stop calling me that!" Scootaloo laughed. "Don't you dare", Dinky said. "Your my Cross-Eyed Daughter!" Scootaloo chuckled. "Please note how these were once insults", Dinky said. "Well, I have to go", Scootaloo said, looking out the window to see the Sun setting. "When are you leaving?" Dinky asked. "Four days", Scootaloo sighed. "Scootaloo?" Dinky asked before she walked out of the room. "Yes?" Scootaloo asked. "Will you remember me when your rich and famous?" Dinky asked. Scootaloo laughed. "Maybe." Author's Note Comment your opinions please cause I love all your opinions :)
Chapter 1: Why Not."Mom, where's my saddlebag!?" Scootaloo yelled from the kitchen. "I have it!" Fluttershy yelled, tossing It over the railing of upstairs. It landed on Scootaloo's back perfectly. "Do you have your lunch?" Fluttershy said, flying down the steps. "Yes mom", Scootaloo groaned. "I'm sorry, your just going into Pony High and I'm nervous for you." Fluttershy adjusted Scootaloo's necklace. It was a locket of her and Scootaloo hugging, from when Scootaloo was revived, many moons ago. "Trust me mom. I'm going to school with Dinky", Scootaloo said. "Also, she's going to introduce her friends to me from Swimming Camp. She says their really cool, so why not meet them." "Also, don't forget that Rumble you've been eyeing", Fluttershy nudged her and chuckled. Scootaloo blushed. "We met at Sugar Cube Corner", Scootaloo said. She rubbed the back of her head. "Have you been sharing milkshakes with him?" Fluttershy asked, getting a little aggressive. "Mom!" Scootaloo yelled, stomping her hoof on the ground. "Sorry", Fluttershy said. "Can I at least walk with you two?" "Fine." Fluttershy got her coat, and put it on. She stared at Scootaloo, who was adjusting her piercings. She's grown so much, it's amazing. "Mom?" Scootaloo asked. "Sorry", Fluttershy snapped out of it. "Let's go." Let's catch up on the story. Scootaloo grew up, and she's now a teenager. She got her cutie mark, which is a Scooter. She graduated Grammar School, and Pony Junior High. She got a job, at Sugar Cube Corner. And, she's made tons of new friends and enemies after she had been revived by Princess Luna. Fluttershy updated the house, considering Scootaloo was growing up. She added an upstairs which contained a bathroom and Scootaloo's new bedroom. Fluttershy's was in the same place, except she used the walk-in closet to store Scootaloo's and Fluttershy's extra things, like pillows. Fluttershy opened the door, and the both walked down the path. They passed Scootaloo's old school, and Sugar Cube Corner. The path ended at Pony High, the new school they built four years ago for teenagers just like Scootaloo. In front of the school were a few ponies. Fluttershy spotted Dinky. She nudged Scootaloo and pointed to her best friend. Scootaloo ran over, and Fluttershy just watched. "Hey Dinky!" Scootaloo said. Dinky smiled. "Hey there Scoot", she greeted. "You wanna meet my friends?" "One second", Scootaloo said. She ran over to Fluttershy and hugged her. "Have a good day, okay?" Fluttershy said, hugging back. Scootaloo released. "Of course." She flew back to her friend, and Fluttershy watched for a few seconds. She headed back home, waiting for Scootaloo to tell her about her school day. ~~ The bell ringed, as a signal for the period was over. Scootaloo grabbed her things and placed them in her saddlebag. She left Science, and flew downstairs to her locker. She unlocked it, placed her saddlebag in, closed the locker, then headed to lunch. She ordered her favorite meal since she was a filly, Grass Sandwiches. She found Dinky next to some ponies, and she sat across. "Hey", Dinky said. Scootaloo gave a small wave as she dug into her Grass Sandwich. The other two friends stared. "She likes Grass Sandwiches", Dinky explained. Scootaloo finished up, and she pointed to her new piercing, a star at the top of her ear. "Oh my gosh!" Dinky said, leaning over the table and looking. "How come I never noticed?" "I put it on in the bathroom", Scootaloo said. "Cool", Dinky said, smiling. "Scootaloo, to your right is Apple Bloom. She's Applejack's sister." "Howdy", Apple Bloom said. She had her red-ish pink mane up in a ponytail, with a pink bow keeping it in place. She had crisp orange eyes, and a apple cutie mark, like the rest of the Apple family. "Hi", Scootaloo said. "Next to me is Sweetie Belle, she's Rarity's sister", Dinky said. "Hiya!" Sweetie Belle said. She had a pink and purple mane, which she kept in a braid. She had green eyes, and a green dress cutie mark. "Hey", Scootaloo said. "I've heard good things about you both." "Good", Apple Bloom said. "Dinky told us some fancy things about ya' too." The four continued eating their lunch. The bell rung, and all the ponies left. Scootaloo waved goodbye to her friends, then went to her locker. She quickly grabbed her saddlebag, closed the door, then flew two flights of stairs for Mathematics. She looked for a seat, and saw one in the second row. She had a seat, and put her saddlebag underneath. Soon, all the seats filled up. "Hello class", the teacher walked in. "My name is Miss. Pommel, and today we shall work in groups of two. I made a list of all the groups here on this list." Miss. Pommel placed the chart of names on a display on the wall. "The list says what page you will work on, and which partner. At the end please hand in all the work you did, thank you." All the class got up and looked at the chart. Scootaloo waited a few seconds to get up, considering she didn't want to be run over. She saw her name. Scootaloo and Rumble = Page 33 Scootaloo's heart skipped a beat. She was working with Rumble, the colt she met at her job! Scootaloo searched the crowd of ponies when she saw Rumble at his desk flipping through the pages of his math textbook. Scootaloo grabbed hers and walked over. "Sup", Rumble said. "Hey, I'm your partner", Scootaloo said awkwardly. "Mk, have a seat", Rumble said. He pulled up a chair toward his desk. Scootaloo sat down. "So what's up?" Rumble said. "Nothing much", Scootaloo said. The two worked on their math for the whole period. When the bell rung, they both handed in their papers. Scootaloo grabbed her saddlebag. Math was her last class, so finally she was gonna go home. Scootaloo got outside and sat on a bench. Rumble came outside of the school and sat next to her. "Hey uhm, wanna hang out sometime?" he asked. Scootaloo screamed in her head. "YES! I mean, uhm, why not?" Scootaloo said. "How 'bout tomorrow at the sugar shop?" Rumble asked, looking through his saddlebag. "Sure", Scootaloo smiled. "See ya in Math", Rumble said. He tied his saddlebag's string to make sure it wouldn't open, then flew home. Scootaloo did a tiny scream, but no-pony heard her. She got up and waited for Dinky. When Dinky came out, Scootaloo told her everything. "He asked you to hang out!?" Dinky yelled as they walked home. "I know right!" Scootaloo said. The two got up to Dinky's house, and Dinky stopped at her doorstep. She pointed to Scootaloo. "No making out until your dating!" She yelled. Scootaloo laughed as Dinky went inside. This will be fun to tell mom.
Chapter 2: Sugar Shop."Absolutely not", Fluttershy said, cleaning the counter. "Remember, you have training with Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo had asked Rainbow Dash to help her train for The Wonderbolt Academy. She really had been looking forward to this, until now. "Mom, this is Rumble!" Scootaloo whined. "He's like, the cool colt of the school!" "And I'm the angry mom of the Scootaloo", Fluttershy said. She turned around and looked at Scootaloo. "Scootaloo, you know I don't break promises with Rainbow Dash. She's looking forward to this." "Rainbow Dash would let me go if you were training me", Scootaloo sighed. "Did Rainbow Dash raise you?" Fluttershy asked. She gave Scootaloo a stern look. "Can I please?' Scootaloo asked. "I'll work it out with Rainbow, but if she says no then your re-scheduling your little date", Fluttershy said, chuckling. She went outside to water the flowers. Scootaloo had to do her two chores before doing her homework. She grabbed her bucket from one of the cabinets and went outside. She grabbed a brown package. Scootaloo ripped it open, and poured the Chicken Mix in the bucket. She came up to the Chicken Pen, and flew over it. She poured the mix all over the pen, and the Chickens squawked in glee. Next, Scootaloo had to practice her flying. It was considered one of her chores, because it was that important. She kicked some clouds, and sped around the cottage. Fluttershy had expanded her property a bit more, about two acres for her new barn. When Scoot was finished, she headed inside to work on her homework. She finished up everything considering she only had two assignments. Scootaloo packed all of her work into her saddlebag, then brought it upstairs. She put on her uniform for Sugar Cube Corner, a grey vest with a small cupcake in the right corner like a polo. Scootaloo told Fluttershy she was leaving, and she flew to Sugar Cube Corner. She grabbed her keys to get inside the 'Staff' area. Pinkie Pie greeted her. Scootaloo went up to the cashier, and waited for a first customer on her shift. Not a lot of ponies came to Sugar Cube Corner that day. Just the typical ponies. Derpy, Rarity, and so on. But the not typical pony came in today, Rumble. "Hey", he greeted. "Uhm hey, Rumble", Scootaloo freaked out. "Can I get a Cupcake Pie?" Rumble asked. "Uh, sure", Scootaloo said. She went to the cooking room in the back and got a Cupcake Pie from the display. She brought it back to the Cashier and placed it on the counter. "Five bits", Scoot said, opening up the cashier. Rumble placed four bits on the table, then flew off. Scootaloo counted only four, and she looked up. No Rumble. Maybe he was in a hurry... She finished up her shift. It was dusk when she finished up her job, so she went home on the path in the dark. But she was stopped my somepony, odd. The pony put their hoof out, making Scootaloo stop. "Fly the greatest", the pony whispered. Scootaloo narrowed her eyes, trying to figure out who was the pony underneath the grey hood. "Feed the slowest", the pony whispered. "Eh, thanks for the advice", Scootaloo said. She quickly flew over the pony, but the mysterious figure teleported in front of Scootaloo. "Do you know who I am?" the pony asked. "Don't know, don't care", Scootaloo flew up once more. But, the pony flew up with Scootaloo. The pony breathed, very loudly. Like they had a cold or something. "I have spent countless moons trying to escape for you", the pony hissed. "Don't care", Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "Can I go now?" The pony stook their hoof out in a signal to go. Scootaloo flew away, but she heard a chant that had faded out in her school. The very chant that had caused Scootaloo rage. "Scoot, scoot, Scootaloo", the pony chuckled. Scootaloo turned around, and stared at the pony whom had ruined Fluttershy's life. Princess Twilight Sparkle. Her horn was a flashlight for her in the night, shining over the grass below. She removed her hood, revealing cuts on her cheek. "You remember me as the murderer, don't you?" Twilight grinned. The light from her horn cast on her face, making her seem surreal. "Why do you want to hurt me?" Scootaloo yelled. "You already hurt my mom." "I'm not even here to hurt you, poor Scootaloo", Twilight said, pouting. "Go away", Scootaloo flapped away toward the cottage, as Twilight stayed flying in the same spot, watching Scootaloo's every movement. She teleported away, to an unknown place. ~ "Twilight escaped Canterlot Prison!?" Fluttershy yelled in the night. "How!?" "She said she's been trying for many moons", Scootaloo repeated for the fifth time. "What if she's trying to kill you again!? Or, what if she wants to get back at me?" Fluttershy ran around the kitchen in major thought. "Mom it's fine", Scootaloo said, reaching out to hug Fluttershy. But, Fluttershy refused. "Twilight killed you Scootaloo", Fluttershy said. "She's a Princess. of Magic. She can teleport, she can fly, she can do anything that her magic desires. And this worries me because she went to Jail considering Princess Celestia found out about Twilight killing you. And I'm nervous she's out to get you and the rest of us." "Mom, I don't know how she found out where I work", Scootaloo said. "She knows EVERYTHING", Fluttershy said, beginning to cry. "It's okay mom", Scootaloo said, pulling Fluttershy into a hug. "I love you Scootaloo", Fluttershy said, hugging back. "I love you too mom", Scootaloo said. Fluttershy released, the went to her room and closed the door. Scootaloo went upstairs, and fell asleep on top of her bed. Author's Note So when I published Maybe // Book 3, I swear to god it was 5:18.

Chapter 3: BabsThe bell ringed, and Scootaloo put all her things in her saddlebag. She brought her saddlebag to lunch this time, considering she would need it and not bother going to her locker. At the lunch table, was one more pony Scootaloo never met before. The atmosphere felt different. She got her food from the stand, and walked over to the table. She sat down next to Dinky this time, with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and the other pony sat across. "Hiya", the other mare said, waving. She had a short pink mane, pure green eyes, and her cutie mark was three apple seeds. She had one black piercing at the bottom of her ear. The pony grinned like Pinkie Pie. Scootaloo looked over at Dinky, who introduced the new pony. "This is Babs Seed, she's Apple Bloom's cousin", Dinky said. "She just moved here from Manehattan." "Hey, I'm Scootaloo", Scootaloo said, biting an apple. "I heard about your er, story. And I wanna apologize for all the things that happened to your family", Babs said. She obviously read Equestria Daily. That annoying reporter just had to snoop the family down, didn't he? "That was a long time ago", Scootaloo said, placing her apple on the tray, considering her interest of eating had faded away immediately. "How's Sweet Apple Acres?" Dinky asked. "Applejack's been working less and less, considering she's been seein' some colt she fonds", Apple Bloom said, rolling her eyes. "Is It Trenderhoof?" Sweetie Belle asked. "If Rarity finds out, she'll be angry as buck." "Most likely. I'm finding Mane Spray in the bathroom, and y'all know I don't use that chemical", Apple Bloom said. Scootaloo zoned out from the boring conversation. The bell rung, and all the ponies evacuated the cafeteria to their classes. Scootaloo waited till the crowd left, until she left. She hated the crowd. ~~ "Today class", Miss. Pommel said. "We will be doing a class project. Considering it's your second day of school, you kids can interact with each other for the period of class. Yesterday's project was made for today, my apologies." The class got up and started chatting. Scootaloo just sat at her desk and stared at the tile floors. But suddenly, a pony tapped his hoof on the desk. Scootaloo looked up to Rumble. "Can you come after school?" Rumble smirked. "I need to go home first and do my chores, but most likely", Scootaloo said. "Why go home when you can just come?" Rumble said. "Cause I promised my mom", Scootaloo said, looking at the tile floor again. "See you later", Rumble whispered in Scootaloo's ear, before walking over to some of the colts in the class. Mom better of fixed out that practice with Rainbow Dash. ~~~ Scootaloo walked the path home to school, her saddlebag extremely light today. She saw a shadow coming up next to her, and she looked at the pony who walked with her. Babs. "Hey", Babs said. "Mind if I walk with ya?" Scootaloo shook her head. Babs didn't talk, but Scootaloo didn't talk either when she walked with Dinky. Dinky usually did the talking. The two both got up to Sweet Apple Acres, when Scootaloo saw a extension to the barn. "They did some renovation for the pigs", Babs explained. Scootaloo nodded. Babs waved before she went inside, Scootaloo waved back. She got up to the cottage, and she walked in. "Hi mom!" Scootaloo yelled. No answer. Fluttershy walked in from Scootaloo's room with a broom. "Hi Scootaloo", Fluttershy said, flying down the stairs. "Did you get to reschedule the practice?" Scootaloo asked. "Yes, it's tomorrow", Fluttershy smiled. "Thanks mom", Scootaloo said. She quickly fed the chickens, and kicked some clouds. Scoot flew to Sugar Cube Corner after saying goodbye to Fluttershy, and looked for Rumble. She found him, sitting on a stool. But the only part that was odd was, Babs sat next to him. They both had milkshakes, also they were talking and laughing. Scootaloo sighed. She came over to Rumble - and Babs. "Hey Rumble", Scootaloo said. Rumble jumped, and turned around on his stool. "Hey", Rumble said. "So uhm, you wanted to hang out?" Scootaloo said, swaying her left front hoof. "Yea", Rumble said. "Rainbow Dash asked me if you and me wanted to train and stuff. I heard you wanted to be in The Wonderbolts, so why not?" Babs Seed got up. "He was telling me about it while I was delivering apples", she said, holding up a empty sack. Rumble signaled Scootaloo to come. They both flew up to Rainbow Dash's house, and knocked. Rainbow opened the door with her whistle wrapped around her neck. "Are you kids ready to fly?" Rainbow Dash smiled. "Yes ma'am!" Scootaloo said. Rumble nodded. "Twenty laps around my house, go!" Rainbow Dash whistled. The two Pegasi flew around the house, both getting competitive. When twenty laps was up, Rumble landed first at Rainbow Dash's house, and Scootaloo landed a second later. "Amateur", Rumble chuckled. Scootaloo slapped him with her wing, chuckling also. Throughout the day, Rainbow Dash trained them until their wings were soar. Scootaloo and Rumble both relaxed on a cloud over Fluttershy's cottage. "Nice training today", Scootaloo smiled. "Same to you", Rumble said, smiling back. "Do you wanna train again soon?" Scootaloo asked. "Definitely", Rumble said. But from the ground, one particular pony from the Apple family watched in amusement and jealousy. Babs Seed. Author's Note I literally didn't eat breakfast to finish this for you guys.
Chapter 4: Mom?"Your my mom?" Scootaloo asked. "I know it's a big shocker, but yes.." *Scootaloo's P.O.V.* Woah, woah, woah. Woah. Maybe we should start, a little way back to the beginning of this story. Makes much more sense there. Rainbow Dash was talking to Soarin and Lightning Dust, when Soarin accidently said something he wasn't supposed to. "Hopefully Lightning Dust will get over Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash was shocked, and started freaking out and asking questions. "What do you mean!?" "Lightning Dust and Scootaloo?!" Of course, Lightning Dust was silent, but not Soarin. "Well Lightning Dust is Scootaloo's mom and she gave her away so she has to forget about it. But since Spitfire and Fleet Foot helped murder Scootaloo she can't exactly get over it even if she is alive, considering her teammates tried ruining her life. All because she got into a little flying accident thanks to Spitfire, and permanently damaged Fire Streak's left wing. Misty Fly also broke her snout by crashing into the collision." Rainbow Dash freaked out, just like mom and I did. Dash told mom everything, and I eavesdropped. Mom told me certain parts, but I knew everything. Lightning Dust, a pony on The Wonderbolts Reserves, was my mom. I thought Fluttershy was my mom, but she wasn't. She actually found me in a box, outside her door. Lightning Dust found out about Fluttershy at the event with The Pony Tones. She thought Fluttershy was so caring, it had to be her who would care for me. But, one of my heroes tried killing me. Fleetfoot, I could expect. She has a shady background with her parents. But why would all this happen? Couldn't Lightning Dust care for me? ~~ *Lightning Dust's P.O.V.* My brother doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. He eats too much Pie and drinks too much Apple Cider. Soarin was supposed to keep his trap shut till after I quit the Wonderbolts. But of course, he tells Rainbow Dash. She obviously told Fluttershy, who told my daughter. Why couldn't this be a happy story? I can't wait to see how much Scootaloo's grown, because Fluttershy is letting me see her. Soarin's taking me there later today, and I'm nervous. Will she like me? Will she consider me her mom now that she knows me? All these questions worry my head. But right now, I have to go cry. ~~~ I'm waiting outside the Cottage. I'm nervicited, but mostly nervous. Pinkie would mostly be excited. Don't ask. The door opens, and Fluttershy walks out. A orange pegasi with a purple mane walked out behind her. Was that Scootaloo my daughter!? Well of course it was, who else would be with Fluttershy? Scootaloo's mane was ruffled and messed up. She had pretty purple eyes, and three ear piercings on her left ear I didn't approve of. She wore a locket around her neck, I guess symbolizing that I'll never have her again. She looked at me, and wonder filled her eyes. "Your my mom?" Scootaloo asked. "I know it's a big shocker, but yes...", I trailed off. "Uh, hi", Scootaloo said awkwardly. "I'm Scootaloo." "I know that", I laughed. "I'm Lightning Dust, from The Wonderbolts." Scootaloo nodded. Soarin just chuckled. "We need pie", Soarin blurted out. "And some Hard Apple Cider..." Fluttershy, who stood a few feet away, was teary eyed. I guess she thought I was going to steal my child from her. "Do you want to, uhm, get some cupcakes?" I asked. "AND PIE!" Soarin yelled, zooming off to Sugar Cube Corner. ~~~ *Fluttershy's P.O.V.* I can't believe still that Lightning Dust is Scootaloo's mom. Well I knew I wasn't her mother, but I knew I raised her to be the best. Why did Lightning Dust just come to my Cottage, and invite my daughter for cupcakes? I'm not paying because I had no intentions of leaving my property. Scootaloo was hesitant. She looked at me, and she saw my with tears starting to fall. Scoot looked back to Lightning Dust, and shook her head no. Thank you Celestia. "Oh, okay", Lightning Dust said. "I'll just, go. Nice meeting you." Lightning Dust flew away, and I smiled. "Is this true?" Scootaloo said, not turning around to face me. "Your not my mom?" I cried, knowing that Scootaloo would be mad at me. Scootaloo turned around and looked at me. She had tears forming. She quickly flew away, in the direction of the new barn. I guess she was mad at me, I would be mad at myself also.

Chapter 5: Reason.Scootaloo didn't go to school for a week. It was too depressing, to know your mom isn't your mom. Besides, Scootaloo had no reason to leave the barn, when she fit in here. The cows don't know who their moms are, their just adopted. But she wasn't, Scootaloo was just left in a box by her careless biological mom for Fluttershy to take care of her. Maybe Fluttershy is really Scootaloo's real mom. She treated her like one, first off. Lightning Dust, which Scootaloo calls 'Careless One', did seem pretty shaky. Maybe she had tried hard to impress her daughter, but it didn't work. Of course, Scootaloo had no interest in meeting the pony who left her. Why should she? Not everypony is left at a door as a filly to be taken care of by somepony else. Mom - her fake one - had told Scootaloo that sometimes you have to deal with what life gives you. Obviously she meant it in some sort of way compared to this situation, because why else would she say that? Was chocolate rain going to fall from cotton candy clouds? Before dawn, Scootaloo sneaked inside the Cottage. She grabbed her saddlebag, considering it was a new week. She made herself some oatmeal, and packed her coat, considering the air felt heavy. Maybe the Pegasi were making a rainfall today. The sun rose, and Scootaloo headed down the path toward the school. Before she passed by Sweet Apple Acres, a pony with a hood on - covering their whole face - teleported next to Scootaloo. "Reason with me Scootaloo", Twilight said. "Fluttershy never cared about you. She was forced to care for you, unless she wanted to give you away or put you somewhere no pony would find you." "You don't know me anymore", Scootaloo hissed. Twilight just continued to walk with her. "Beep beep boop", Twilight whispered. "You remember to much", Scootaloo said. "But, Rainbow Dash did tell me you were an egg head." "I am not!" Twilight yelled. Scootaloo did a quick pfft before walking a bit faster. "Scootaloo, Fluttershy hates you", Twilight said, catching up again. "She does not", Scootaloo said, getting aggravated. "I'm an egg head, I know everything", Twilight hissed, getting under Scootaloo's skin. "SHE DOES NOT!" Scootaloo yelled, swiping at Twilight. The hit landed on her face. Twilight stumbled back, and fell. "My mother loves me", Scootaloo hissed at the fallen Twilight. "She's not your mother, remember that?" Twilight smiled as her hood fell off her head. Scootaloo ran down the path towards school, leaving Twilight on the ground near Sweet Apple Acres. ~~~ Scootaloo got her lunch, and sat next to Dinky. The others weren't at the table. "Where is everyone?" Scootaloo asked, eating her apple. "They saw what you did to that pony", Dinky said, worry in her eyes. "They said you knocked them out near Sweet Apple Acres, and Sweetie Belle believed it. Babs said she saw it." "That pony was Twilight", Scootaloo said. She crossed her front hooves on the table and put her head in between. "Really?" Dinky asked. "She escaped?" "A while ago", Scootaloo said, through her hooves. "Give me a reason why she would be here", Dinky said. "Because she's out to get Fluttershy, or me", Scootaloo said. "And I had to knock her out. She said Fluttershy didn't love me." Dinky sighed. "Should I tell them?" she asked, with some worry in her tone. "Don't tell Babs", Scootaloo said. "She's got the nerves on me." Dinky nodded. The bell rung, and all the ponies left the cafeteria for class. Scootaloo was the last one of course. Through the hallways she walked to get to Biology, which was down the hall from the Cafeteria. But, before she went inside the classroom, somepony pulled her in. The Janitor's closet. "Babs?" Scootaloo said. Babs closed the door. "You dare go near my Rumble, then I'll end ya' like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon", Babs said, spitting in Scootaloo's face. That Manehattan accent was heavy. "Listen, you just moved her", Scootaloo said, cleaning her face. "You don't even know him as much as I do." "We'll see 'bout that", Babs said. She opened the door and pushed Scootaloo out. Babs closed the door behind her, and walked casually to her next class. It was obvious, Babs was a threat. ~~~ "Spike?" Twilight whispered, walking into her old castle. "Twilight?" Spike said, walking in the entrance. "Why are you here?" "I-I escaped", Twilight smiled. "Why would you escape if you deserve it?" Spike scowled her. "Your a disgrace for killing a pony." "Well Fleet Foot and Spitfire helped", Twilight spat. "You paid them and also they wanted revenge", Spike said. "Leave." Spike turned around, and walked down a hallway. He opened a door, entered, then slammed it. Twilight had small tears coming. She left the castle, and teleported to her make-shift home/cave in Greenwood Forest. "I will get my revenge on everypony", Twilight said. A tear dripped off her face, into the dirt below. Author's Note I hope you guys like it I love you serigjwm;e.gjeghjertio;uhj
Chapter 6: Death Is Powerful. (SHORT)Lightning Dust sat at a table in the cafeteria of the Wonderbolt Academy. Her only secret had been revealed, and all the ponies at the Academy knew about it. It was an 'Academy Record' for a rumor to spread around so fast. But the rumor was true. Many of the ponies ignored Lightning Dust. There was no reason, she gave away her child to keep her place on the team. Maybe considering she let Scootaloo die, that they hate Lightning. Death is powerful. ~ "Scootaloo?" Fluttershy knocked of Scoot's door. "What?" Scootaloo said through the door. "Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. "Well to find out one day your not my real mom, and the next day Twilight is trying to aggravate me, life is just great for me mom. I mean, Fluttershy." "Do you want to talk about it?" "There's already enough said." "Do you want a Grass Sandwich?" "Why, trying to make me feel better?" Scootaloo laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling. "Scootaloo please, you can't just come out your room for school and the bathroom." "I'll make it work", Scootaloo said. She pulled the covers over her body, and she zoned out until this was said. "If I told you, you wouldn't love me", Fluttershy sniffled. "And, I loved you with my heart." "You could've told me who was my mom", Scootaloo snapped. "I didn't know who your mom was!" Fluttershy yelled. ~ "So, Scootaloo and Lightning Dust know?" Spitfire snapped. "Afraid so", Fleet Foot said. "Misty Fly has been spying on them." "This plan hasn't been working", Spitfire groaned. "I don't know what to do", Fleet Foot muttered. "Your going to go and invite Scootaloo and her little boyfriend", Spitfire barked. "Why him?" Fleet Foot asked. "Let's just say, he'll do what we say for Scootaloo", Spitfire smirked. She grabbed her uniform and slipped it on. "He's just a School Colt", Fleet Foot said, slipping on her purple sunglasses. ~ "Scootaloo!" Dinky waved outside. It was Friday finally, and Scootaloo was done with school already. Next to Dinky, was Babs. "Hiya", Babs said, kind of aggressive. Scootaloo didn't greet back, she directed her attention to Dinky. "I heard Rumble has some special news for you", Dinky winked. "What news?" Scootaloo asked. "You'll see", Dinky smirked. Babs looked at the ground. You could hear girls talking from outside the school. Walking out, was Rumble. About four mares surrounded him, and Scootaloo just watched in disgust. Rumble walked over, but the mares still followed him like he was Princess Celestia. "Hey Scootaloo", Rumble said. "Can I talk to you?" Scootaloo got worried. "Uh, yeah sure", she said. Rumble signaled with his wing for her to follow. He flew away, and Scootaloo followed after him. Babs just watched. He will notice me one day, but not when that dumb excuse for a mare Scootaloo. And so, Babs walked home in silence with no one, just herself and her evil thoughts. Death is powerful.
Chapter 7: MaybeRumble and Scootaloo sat on a cloud near Rumble's house. Celestia's sun was still high in the sky, and the light beamed on both of the ponies. "So, Scootaloo", Rumble said, swallowing. "I have some news." "What is it?" Scootaloo said. "Well uhm", Rumble began. "I was invited to attend The Wonderbolts Academy." "Really!?" Scootaloo said, not surprised as Rumble had been practicing all week after school. "Yea but, training is all year", Rumble said, his purple eyes filled with disappointment. "Oh", Scootaloo said. "When does training start?" "In a month", Rumble said. "Your going to miss school?!" Scootaloo asked. "Well, I'm not going alone", Rumble said. He grabbed with his wing from his saddlebag a scroll. He put in next to Scootaloo, and she opened it. Dear Rumble, You have been accepted to The Wonderbolt Academy. As your request, we have also accepted Scootaloo. We hope to see you in Rainbow Falls in a month. Thank you for your time. ~The Wonderbolts "You entered me!?" Scootaloo said, her jaw dropped open. "Well, I knew you wanted to be in The Wonderbolts Academy", Rumble chuckled. Scootaloo hugged him. "Thank you", she said. "What's your mom gonna say?" Rumble hugged back. "I don't know", Scootaloo said. They released from the hug, and Rumble tied his saddlebag to his back. "You can show your mom the letter", Rumble said. "I'll see ya on Monday." Scootaloo grinned. "Thank you", she said again. "No problem", Rumble said, smiling. He took off into the distance to his Cloud House. Scootaloo put the letter in her saddlebag and took off to the Cottage. She opened the door to Fluttershy making a meal. "Mom, guess what!" Scootaloo said, grinning. "Your happy today", Fluttershy said, looking up. Scootaloo pulled out the scroll and gave it to Fluttershy. She opened it up, and read. "Rumble entered you into The Wonderbolt Academy?!" Fluttershy asked. "Isn't that awesome!?" Scootaloo said. "Well, since it's your dream...", Fluttershy said. "I can't really say no." "Thank you", Scootaloo said, hugging Fluttershy. Besides, if Fluttershy said no Scootaloo would still go - with Rumble. She released from the hug, and flew upstairs to her room. "With Twilight on the loose, Scootaloo is in trouble", Fluttershy mumbled to herself. "What have I done?" Fluttershy cooked up dinner, and she brought Scootaloo's meal to her room. But, Scoot sat at the table with Fluttershy. It was the first time in a while she did. After dinner, Scootaloo just laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Sweet Celestia, was she lucky. She was invited to join The Wonderbolts Academy. She didn't request, she was invited. That was a good feeling inside. But watching from the window outside, was Babs. She had been stalking the whole conversation, in anger and curiosity. "Well, well, well", a familiar voice said. Babs looked up from her hiding spot and saw her. The pony that Equestria feared. Princess Twilight Sparkle. "I see you want some revenge?" Twilight smirked. "Scootaloo stole my boyfriend", Babs said. "Easy", Twilight said. Babs was shaking. "Why are you here in Ponyville?" "I'm from here, Manehattan chick", Twilight snapped. "Well, Babs Seed. I see you and I want a little something from Fluttershy's daughter." "No, I just want her to not go near Rumble", Babs said. "Unlikely", Twilight chuckled. "Rumble's in love with Scootaloo. He requested for her to go to The Wonderbolt Academy with him. And besides, he doesn't even acknowledge you when she's around. Your an Apple." "Well", Babs began, but had no words. "That's why I'm called an 'Egg Head'", Twilight smirked. "I know everything, while dumb teenagers like you try to be smart." "What do you even want from Scootaloo?" Babs asked in confusion. "I want Fluttershy's forgiveness. And only Scootaloo can get Fluttershy to forgive me." "Seems dumb", Babs chuckled. "Like you?" Twilight asked. Babs groaned. "How about a team?" Twilight said. "We both want something from Scootaloo. With my magic and your athletics, we could get everything we want." "Why should I team with you?" Babs said. "Cause your hopeless without me", Twilight said. "Maybe", Babs said. ~~ "He invited you to the WONDERBOLTS!?" Dinky yelled in her room. Scootaloo had came over to her house. "I thought you knew", Scootaloo said. "Well, I knew he had news but not something that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!" Dinky screamed. "DINKY, LOWER YOUR VOICE!" Derpy yelled from downstairs. Dinky chuckled. "I'll send you all kinds of stuff", Scootaloo smiled. "You better, I want souvenirs", Dinky said. Scootaloo narrowed her eyes. "What?" Dinky said. "I need to stare at you so I can remember you", Scootaloo said. "You should always remember me." "Well, your my best friend", Scootaloo said, stopping. "And your my Chicken", Dinky chuckled. "I told you to stop calling me that!" Scootaloo laughed. "Don't you dare", Dinky said. "Your my Cross-Eyed Daughter!" Scootaloo chuckled. "Please note how these were once insults", Dinky said. "Well, I have to go", Scootaloo said, looking out the window to see the Sun setting. "When are you leaving?" Dinky asked. "Four days", Scootaloo sighed. "Scootaloo?" Dinky asked before she walked out of the room. "Yes?" Scootaloo asked. "Will you remember me when your rich and famous?" Dinky asked. Scootaloo laughed. "Maybe."
