Scoot's Big Sister

Ding-Dong!

The doorbell to Sugarcube Corner rang. Pinkie ran to get it. She opened it to see Rainbow Dash along with Scootaloo. The two had left Scoot's backpack that held Scootaloo's possessions (all except her scooter of course) behind the building. Everyone was glad to see that Scootaloo was fine, especially the two other cutie mark crusaders. They wanted to go to the hospital to spend Christmas with her because no one should have to spend Christmas alone. They ran up to her again as they did the previous night and gave her a super big hug.

"Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, I need to tell you something." Scoot said to get their attention.

"What is it Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom asked curiously.

Now that she was sure she had their attentions she told them everything from finding her dad in the basement to Rainbow Dash adopting her. After this the two other crusaders looked at her dumb struck from the amount of information they were taking in at one time. There was an awkward silence.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Apple Bloom asked after a few seconds, breaking the silence.

"Because I knew if I told anypony, even you two, an adult would find out and send me to an orphanage far away." She replied with a sigh to have that off her chest.

The two little ponies understood. They wouldn't want her to be sent away either.

"Well at least now you're ok and have a home." Sweetie Belle added a few seconds later.

They then spent the rest of the day talking, playing and crusading in a more Christmassy fashion. The crusading is what we're going to talk about though. They had been wrapping presents, tree trimming, and Christmas cookie making all day.

LATER.....

"And a partridge in a pear tree." the three sang out proudly as they ended the song.

Scoot and Apple Bloom were ok at it but Sweetie Belle had obviously sung the best. They had been singing in the white snow for at least half an hour so all three had their snow pants on.

"Nice job girls." Twilight said supportively of the crusaders, "Now why don't we go get some lunch into your stomachs."

About an hour later after eating lunch it started to snow again so the three decided to take off their snow pants and stay inside for a little while. The three felt sad however, they were convinced that they would never get their cutie marks for Christmas.

"Oh come on, don't be sad about not having your cutie marks on Christmas now!" Applejack said in comforting way.

They knew she was right and that they should be spreading joy not sadness. So they continued their crusading with a smile till the end of the day.

Once Princess Luna had brought out the moon and it was time for them to go their separate ways they were positively, without a doubt sure that this had been the best Christmas ever. As Rainbow Dash picked the filly with her hooves Scoot thanked whoever granted her Christmas wish, that she had a family again.
