Maybe // Book 3

"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.
