Chapter 7: Maybe

Previous Chapter

Rumble 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."
