Fangs, weird weirds? Bad enough ,my life was already chaotic. Now this? I’m never lucky.
“That’s it, just a little more.”Scootaloo went to the sink as she vomited all over the place in the sink.Luckily Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom was there to provide help.Apple Bloom offered a smile.“You feel better?”Scootaloo splashed water onto her face and dried her face off with the towel handed to her. “Yeah I think I’m done puking my guts out.”“Heh, well did you get anyway on your face?”She and looked up at the mirror, there was a spot near her muzzle. Scootaloo splashed water onto her face, dried her face off with the towel handed to her and rechecked. Her fangs were cleaned and meancy.Scootaloo could almost fool herself into believing she was a different pony, but the face that stared back had the same attitude.“You feeling okay? I mean your feathers go and that must of been painful.”Scootaloo spreaded her wings and examined them in the mirror. Orange bat-like skinned wings replaced orange feathers, it was something out of a horror story. “No I’m actually relieved, no more preening.”Scootaloo turned and faced her friends. “So, how I look?”What could they tell her?That her eyes were slit similar to a cat and glowed a purple radiance. The creature in the mirror was her, there was no denying.“You look....”“Awesome?”“Yes!” Both shouted unison.Apple Bloom placed a foreleg over Scootaloo’s withers as they trotted on. “I think it’s time for you to come outside, you’ve been hiding in the house for too long now you’re ready.”Scootaloo turned to Apple Bloom who wore a reassuring smile on her face. “I don’t think I can….what if they hate me or do something worse!”She heard a giggle and turned to Sweetie Belle covering her mouth with a hoof. “I know for a fact this won’t change the Scootaloo we all know and love!”“Are you sure? Cause I a ten year old bat—”“Eleven,” Apple Bloom corrected.“No, I’m ten remember?”Apple Bloom rolled her eyes. “You turned elven today, today’s your birthday!”Scootaloo’s eyes widened. “Today’s my birthday?”“Hehe yeah you got a calendar?” Sweetie Belle nudged.Scootaloo grunted as she felt Sweetie Belle nudged her in the foreleg which earned her a glare. “Does an outdated one counts?”“Come it’s time you go outside outside!” Apple Bloom said as she grabbed Scootaloo and dragged her towards the door, which wasn’t easy.“Are you ready?”Blinded by the sun’s light as she swung the door opened, Scootaloo took a step back into the shade. “Ugh, why is it so bright!” “Probably cause you were in the house for a week!” Sweetie Belle said. “Come on it’s good outside!”Apple Bloom breathed in and exhaled once more. “Come on it smells great out here!” Scootaloo watched them playing outside, laughing and enjoying the sun’s warmth. While Scootaloo froze in her place, her part of made movement was her hooves as they shook with fear. She was going outside! For the first time after the weeks and Scootaloo couldn’t even make up. “I don’t think I’m ready.”Scootaloo must have gotten to their breaking point because their act had stopped when a sigh escaped their mouths and their smiles vanished. “How about this we go in then out just for a treat?” She lend Scootaloo a hoof. “Please?”“I don’t know.”“Pleeeease!” Both pleaded in unison.It was now or never.Scootaloo had to make sure she was ready. She exhaled to push all the nervous feelings from her system then closed her eyes as she took baby steps, feeling as the wood from the floor crack under her weight. She knew she made it outside when hit with an intense breeze. “Woah!” Scootaloo eyes shot open and was met with her two friends. “It’s kinda cool guys!”“I know right?”The sky was mostly clear except for a few scattered fluffy clouds. Things were looking pretty good for a first time out after a week of situation, but something made Scootaloo want to bolt right then.She found something was wrong. Was ponies who flashed her an eyebrow raise of confusion or an mouth agape of surprise. Scootaloo knew all eyes was planted on her, she was in with the sharks and they were slowly chewing at her confidence. “Can we go home?”“What?” That made them stop. “Why?”“Because ponies are staring at me too much and I bet Sugarcube Corner isn’t going to make it any better!”Scootaloo was about to question why Apple Bloom had moved in front of Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle slowed down ehr pacing. She turned to see Sweetie Belle walking behind her flashing her a smile, but then she figured it out. “You doing some block thing or something?”“Yup!”Scootaloo felt better and the rest of the walk wasn’t so bad either. Sure there were some questions and glances thrown at her, but she was luckily Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle was there for the rescue. She inhaled and took all the different types of baked sweets made her mouth water in anticipation. She walked through and was met with a sight.Then her heart stopped. Not from being amazed, but realizing what she fell into.Everything said “happy birthday, Scootaloo!” and there was streamers and balloons, Pinkie Pie was certainly part of this. “I thought you said we were going out just for a treat!”“It was the only way we can get you outside for your birthday party.” Sweetie Belle hung her down. “We’re sorry.”Apple Bloom joined the act too.“Yeah, sorry.”“It’s okay.” She found herself pulled into a group hug and was snuggled. “Guys, please we’re in public?”“So?” Both asked, still hugging her.Scootaloo groaned, but smiled in the inside.There was nothing to harm her or nothing to worry about she finally felt…..calm. She turned to the clock which read 4:00 pm.“Oh oh here they come!”Just like that, all Scootaloo’s calm nerves panicked and she could feel herself shaking again. She turned to spot Rainbow Dash as she flew through the window and landed in front of the Twilight and the others. A minute hadn’t already passed and already Rainbow Dash was searching for Scootaloo with a grin on her face. “Where’s the birthday girl!”Bum, bum, bumA heartbeat pounded in the distance and threatening her focus. Bum, bum, bum It seemed to come faster and faster each passing second. Bum, bum, BUM! Scootaloo felt the oxyen cut off from her brain, her body dropping to the floor as her eyelids closed themselves.
