My Little Scoots

You know, whenever you go to a Chinese buffet, you sometimes get a fortune cookie or two. They are good, but the best part is the fortune inside. You may think it's just a piece of paper crammed in between a Chinese cookie with a useless fortune on it, but it's more than that. I know, because I've recently gotten one, and it said "You will soon find an unexpected treasure". I'll tell you, I did. I'm not talking about gold or diamonds or cash. I'm talking about a special orange treasure. Orange and purple that is. What's more unexpected than finding an orange and purple female pony with wings in your garbage can outside in the middle of winter, nearly close to her last breath? What would you do? Chase her away as if she were a filthy, trash-eating rodent? Or would you take her in to live with you and be your daughter? That question isn't hard to answer. At least for me.

I'm Elijah Cooley, Eli for short, and this is my story.
