Scootaloo has been a very lonely child. Her parents left her for their dreams and a life of relaxation. Her brother was left to take care of her. Now that he was in the Canterlot Royal Guard, he had to leave her. Being a lieutenant was no easy task and he could not visit her much, though he sent her some bits every week. She is made fun of in school for not having her Cutie Mark and she has no friends. She is fed up with it one day and sets out to prove them wrong.
