Scootaloo's Scooter Express

Learning a (Lab) Lesson Before Experiencing It... Is NOT a Good Idea

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

   The next day (after the slapping), birds chirped happily and swung through the air, branch by branch, leaf through leaf, the sun slowly climbed up the hills, ready to shine. The sky turned from dark to yellow, then to blue, a drastic change made for getting up and moving your butt to work.

   "SCOOTALOO! GET YOUR BUM OFF THE BED! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL" Scootaloo's mom yelled from... Scootaloo's bed.

   "Woah! Mom! Okay I got you! Let me make myself comfortable while trying to do so..."

   Her mom wields her kitchen knife out from her back.

   "Right away mom!" Scootaloo quickly dressed up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, ate her breakfast... Wait...

   "Mom? Where's the food?" She asked

   "Why don't you get your butt to school? On your, oh I don't know: Schooter? Then maybe think about eating breakfast there."

   Scootaloo made the dang-you-got-me-this-time face, and quickly raced against time to school... On her scooter that is.

   "Why doesn't that silly filly ever take the damn bus?" Her mom facepalmed and sighed disappointment.


   After 1 whole hour, Scootaloo finally reached to school... School's halfway I meant. Then on the crossroad between Avenue Boulevard, Street Road, Boulevard Street, and Road Avenue, AND of course, Unihippiecornamus Turnpike, Scootaloo suddenly forgot her way to school... Wait how's that even possible?

   "Uhh, is it left? Or right? Or should I turn back? Or go straight? Or jump over that building? Or walk across that house and exit despite it's somebody else's property?" Now Scootaloo grew nervous, she doesn't want to be late for school, again. But what if she gets lost forever if she chooses the wrong path?

   "Should I ask someone? Ugh, that's a bit awkward, but I have to! There's no other way... Or check the map on my phone to locate the school!" She felt so smart and clever as took out her phone from her pocket, and flipped it open...

   "Wait, it's a flip phone... There's no internet or data plan on such a crappy phone... And it's LG too..." She sighed and puts it back into her pocket.

   Now she has to ask someone for a more advanced technology device, as she still lives in the past. Scootaloo examined teenage girls using iPhone 5's and 6's, then guys showing off their Galaxy S6's and S5's... Or even older Motorola and Blu... Even Nokia Lumia 435...

   "UGH! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE ONE WITH A FLIP PHONE!" Scootaloo enraged loudly, but no one seemed to hear her because they were busy on their text messages and taking ugly selfies like Photo Finish.


   As the bell rang, ready to educate the secondary junior high school students (monkeys), Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom stood outside, still waiting for their friend.

   "Ah wonder where she's been up to? Why is she so darn late?"

   "Yea, she never been this lazy of time before, even though she often makes it around 7:59 AM while school starts at 8." Sweetie Belle sighed.

   "Sweetie Belle, you actually count the time?" Apple Bloom asked in surprise.

   "Umm, yea? I have a watch... A Swatch to be exact... Mmm-hmm, what a beauty!" Sweetie Belle boasted as she sniffed and kissed the silver mixed with gold watch strapped onto her left wrist. "Ahh, I never knew my sister Rarity was so rich before! Because this baby is worth quite the thousands!"

   "It's just plain old watch Sweetie Belle, nothing special to it than our Apple Family's rusty wagon!" Apple Bloom proudly said.

   Sweetie Belle swatched from her pride on her watch and facepalmed over Apple Bloom's strange appetite on what should be admired or not. To her, the country girl is sometimes just plain illiterate, maybe that's why Rarity always has trouble trying to even communicate with Applejack.

   Soon, a black Lamborghini came out of nowhere from Route 55 (psst, that's what Scootaloo got for her history exam!), rolling down the road, stopped right in front of the school building. Out stepped a dark sneaker, then another one...

   "Ha! Who wears Air Max anymore?!" A group of boys laughed as they saw Octavia come out of the car, WAIT OCTAVIA OWNS A LAMBORGHINI?! THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF THE PLOT!

   "Oc...Octavia...?" Sweetie Belle began,

   The girl with the dark hair plus sneakers took off her dark shades, and swung her head in fashion. 'Okay yes, that is actually Octavia Melody, the cello junior in Canterlot High.' The two Crusaders said in their minds, 'but isn't she supposed to be poor and broke with Vinyl?'

   "Hello girls." She said calmly, "Why are you both looking at me like that?" As she saw Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom eyes wide and mouth dropped.

   Then, came stepping out another girl, with purple hair, orange t-shirt,  purple sneakers, it was no other than...

   "SCOOTALOO'S MOM?!" The two friends exclaimed in horror.

   "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU EVEN GET THAT IDEA?! CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S ME?!" Scootaloo shouted back at them, "Oh lord, take my life right now..."

   "Oh, it's just Scootaloo." Sweetie Belle said in disappointment, as if she prefers if it was her mom instead.

   "How did ya even get a vehicle to arrive?" Apple Bloom asked puzzlingly.

   "Oh that? Because I'm awesom..."

   "She was quite lucky that we borrowed a Lamborghini from a friend, and we saw her desperate and was crying dead for help." Octavia truthfully answered.

   Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom nodded, and turned to Scootaloo and shamed on her with their index fingers. Scootaloo sighed and slowly admitted, she didn't want to act dumb in front of someone who was much older than her and helped her out.

   "To be honest, it was my idea to borrow that crap from my friend Vinegar Flicker!" Vinyl Scratch raised her hand out of the car, "If not, Octavia would've came here sick and will not perform well in her concert and spread her disease and..."

   "Ugh! Yes yes yes! It was all your smart idea to help me out, thank you Vinyl..." Octavia facepalmed herself, "And it wasn't a disease either, just a cold I caught..."

   "Pfft! Same bull! I can still party hard even when I'm caught in a contagion!"

   Ignoring her friend's last words and sighed loudly, Octavia turned to the Crusaders and said, "Well, I suppose you three should catch up to the bell before it rings for lateness. You got to give yourself the last push on your last lab right?"

   Scootaloo jumped in place as if she was zapped, well she is as always.

   "Yes Ms. Melody!" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom answered excitingly, and dragged their shocked friend across the school floor to their first class.

   Octavia smiled and turned frowned back to Vinyl, who turned the volume maxed, noticed her roomate glaring at her, and stopped the music.

   "You and I have a lot to talk about what's going on recently." Octavia said as she grabbed Vinyl out of the black vehicle, "You have the same problems with Scootaloo..."


   After their fifth period, it was time for lunch. The Crusaders sat together on a table, taking their chocolate chip cookies out and forking on their pasta mixed with ravioli and other meat stuffs...

   "It's called ravioli! And that's chicken meat inside!" Sweetie Belle yelled.

   Honestly, I barely even eat these cuisines! I'm a foreigner to this you know that right?

   "Well then don't intefere and comment on what we are eating and mind your own business!"

   Whatever, white girl.

   "Apple Bloom is Asian yellow and Scoots is... Well, Asian brown..."

   "I'm freakin' orange!" Scootaloo corrected her friend.

   "Well, considering the fact that no one on Earth is orange skinned, therefore I want you to fit into our society."

   "WHAT DO YOU MEAN OUR SOCIETY?!" Scootaloo yelled, "I'm special then!"

   "Scootaloo calm down! You wouldn't want others starin' at you again!" Apple Bloom warned. "And Sweetie Belle, Ah'm yellow not because Ah'm Asian! Wonder why we got names like 'Smith' and 'Jack‘? O' 'Big Macintosh'? Dem are all freakin' country names and they all American and Irish too!"

   "Why are we getting a bit stereotypical and racist here?" Sweetie Belle changed the subject.

   "Because you started it...?" Scootaloo and Apple Bloom answered with a obvious look, indicating that Sweetie Belle should know the answer already.

   "But it was the narrator!" And she pointed... Well, I'm here but not here. How are you going to point? Sweetie Belle?

   "....... Wow that was awkward and lame. Okay that was my fault then." Sweetie Belle admitted, "Scoots, did you finish your lab yet?"

   "Well... I mean... Umm..."

   "Are you serious?! You still haven't touched it yet?! We're all done by now!" Sweetie Belle shouted at her, upset that her friend won't pass the Lab class this year, having already got two F's and a C for her last three terms, Scootaloo can't fail this one or else she has to go to summer school.

   "Tha-that's because..." Scootaloo wanted to explain, but it was too embarrassing to be exploited.

   She was slapped by her mom multiple of times, and was scolded for pretending to be wealthy.

   "Ohhhhhhhhh! Now I get it!" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle nodded their heads and shamed Scootaloo again.

   "Hey! That's not wha..."

   And she was about to make an excuse out of not doing it because her Excel is too old to do the lab because it requires an Excel at least from 2007 (or something like that).

   "NARRATOR! WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?!" Scootaloo yelled.

   BANG!

   "OW! WHAT THE HEL... HECK!" Scootaloo winced at the random fist that knocked her off the seat, "Was that you again mom?"

   She was picked up by two blue hands, and was put back on the seat.

   "RAINBOW DASH!" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom exclaimed and went on to hug her. Not used to this, Rainbow nevertheless rolled her eyes and returned the little girls the same.

   "Hey guys, I came here for a school visit." Rainbow Dash told them and let go of Scootaloo, then whispered into her ear. "I do not want to see my admirer fouling herself with such language! That is NOT cool and awesome if you want to be like me!"

   Scootaloo realized her mistake and nodded sadly, she actually meant it... Well that's because it's her idol Rainbow Dash we're talking about here.

   "And not only that, some others decided to visit not just the school, but you guys as well." Then followed two girls, one with flaming yellow hair, tied at the end with a red strap. The other was styled purple, dressed finely and spicy looking, even hotter than the yellow haired one.

   "APPLEJACK!!!" Apple Bloom ran up to hug her sister, rubbing her head into her belly. Applejack smiled and picked her sister into her lap as she sat down.

   "RARITY... Oh wait, I see you everday at home..." Sweetie Belle realized and acted as if nothing exciting happened, much to Rarity's dismay. She shook her head and sat down with her sister, and said,

   "Sweetie Belle! How are you not excited to see your beautiful sister flashing around, attracting all of Canterlot Secondary's students?" And swung her hair fashionably around, only depressing Sweetie Belle further more.

   "No..." Sweetie Belle was now embarrassed by her sister's actions, despite being positively stared at, she fears jealousy from her classmates once Rarity leaves. "So where are the rest of your squad?"

   "SQUAD?!" Rarity nearly screamed, "Sweetie Belle! Where's the appropriate language I have taught you... And our parents..."

   "Well, I guess somebody ain't being a good sis'." Applejack said as she puts her elbows behind her and puts her head on it. "I love how your lit'le sister knows not to speak fancy."

   "Applejack!" Rarity hissed, "You have no idea how our family works unlike some farmers like you! One day you'll get 'sick' of plotting those, oh muddy fields! Or, oh my! Infecting yourself with swine flu!"

   "Say wha' again?"

   "See! You don't even have any knowledge yourself to stay healthy!" Rarity puts her chin on her elbow, eyes closed not to even bother looking at who she's talking to. "Now you're going to harm your sister like that too?"

   "Uhh, Rarity?" Applejack began, "I reckon you don't know a single thin' about our family either. We do know how to stay healthy. Why don't ya' stop eating those sweets like Pinkie Pie and learn to maintain a healthy diet?" She then whispered to Sweetie Belle, "Your sister likes to go out and eat loads of pork! The least nutritious out of almost all animal meat."

   "Applejack! I am through with you!... Well umm no. She was lying Sweetie..." But her younger sibling is already staring at her, disappointed and shaking her head. Rarity held her fork and knife tighly, ready to throw it into the country girl's eyes anytime.

   Don't want to provoke Rarity any further, Applejack switched topics and asked the Crusaders, "So, Apple Bloom told me that you three have a final lab to complete before the break, is that true?"

   The three nodded in response, and Apple Bloom broke out intentionally, "AND SCOOTALOO DIDN'T COMPLETE HER LAB YET!"

   Everyone stopped what they were doing, and turned around to attack Scootaloo with their eyeballs. Despite Apple Bloom was being annoying for shouting loudly like a uncivilized monkey and embarrassing her friend in public; no one cared about it and only know that Scootaloo was a lazy bum by not doing her lab, and shamed her with their index fingers.

   "ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?! APPLE BLOOM TOO?!" Scootaloo yelled in defeat, realizing that now both her friends are up on her trying to push her to finish the damn lab that can be finished at anytime.

   Right after that was done, she felt a knuckle jab from her right, then her left. It was Rainbow Dash screwing into Scootaloo, hurting her miserably. Scootaloo was about to scream in pain and fear, but realizing that would only displease her idol as she knows that Rainbow Dash is punishing her, she passively accepted. Not because she was weaker than Rainbow Dash and that she knew less than her, but the fact that Rainbow's breast was large compared to most female athletes, which impressed her and made her feel calm.

   'SHUT UP NARRATOR! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SUCH A BIG MOUTH?!' Scootaloo screamed in her mind.

   But it was obvious, the others on Scootaloo's table stared at her awkwardly, knowing what she's really feeling and her motivation on why she accepted Rainbow's punishment. They shook their heads and sighed.

   "Umm, I would like to have a private moment with Scootaloo for awhile, if y'all don't mind." Rainbow Dash requested her friends, as they all agreed to it. She grabbed Scootaloo by the hand and quickly made it in the bathroom (no, NOT MAKING UP).

   "Scootaloo, do you really think you can slack and not do your lab before due time?" Rainbow Dash asked, her eyes and mouth don't match a positive mood. Scootaloo now is scared and can only tell the truth.

   "Well, I never liked 'em..."

   "Like it or not, that's not a good excuse." Rainbow continued, not wasting any time to listen to Scootaloo's reasonings. "We all have to deal with stuffs that we don't like Scoots, but if you choose to avoid them forever, then that's up to you and it will be your problem by then. Only if you work hard and overcome those challenges, then that's what's truly success!"

   Hearing this inspiring quote from her hero, Scootaloo began to feel insecure and wanted to cry because she never thought of how lazy and unmotivated she was in life. All she wanted was to scoot on her scooter, and maybe become a professional later on, but she never had an aimed goal after that. Nothing else interested her much, she never bothered to stress on this until now, and she put her hands in front of her face, trying to protect her face from pain.

   Seeing that she learned her lesson, Rainbow Dash knelt down, smiled and put her hand onto Scootaloo's head and her other on her chest, "Hey, it's not all that bad! Look on the bright side now: since you now know to never waste time on doing pointless garbage (she always does), you still have plenty of time to complete the lab! Just be sure to work on it as much as you can until you're done, then there's the free time you'll get for another whole two months!"

   Scootaloo nodded and stopped sniffing, she hugged Rainbow Dash, thanking her with all the might possible. Rainbow patted her head instead of hugging back, she was glad that she taught a youngster something new, for she never actually taught anybody anything much in her life.

   "But remember, Spitfire's a mongrel sometimes. She terrorizes us at the pitch all the time." Rainbow ruffled her colorful hair and checked to see if anyone heard that outside of the bathroom.

   "Yea! I totally agree with that! She always makes our lives miserable during lab time!"

   "Oh you have lab too with her? Man, back when I had her as my lab teacher, I was thrown onto the floor constantly! I remembered it was like 25 times..."

   "Oooohhh! I was 21..."

   "Haha! You behave more well than I do! It's hard to to good in her class because she's so strict!" Rainbow said as they walked out of the restroom.

   "Definitely! She's a who..."

   They both now froze and shook their legs, because standing in front of them, was a pair of glasses, and a yellow suit, slimy but athletic legs, black high heels. Her face was definitely not a good face to encounter, and so shouldn't either of the victims run away from her.

   "Umm, hi-GH there Ms. Spitfire! How's your day coming off so far...?" Scootaloo tried to get her off track.

   No response, she continued to shift her glasses to the perfect position on her nose. Her frown remained, and her eyes twitched and morphed into different sizes.

   "Hey Coach!" Rainbow Dash tried, "What we got for the Wondercolts training today?"

   The silence continued onwards, both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo were almost unbalanced and their hearts smashing the ribs just make the two girls hurt like hell. Spitfire however stared at them and walked into the bathroom, passing the two girls, and said,

   "Oh nothing, I was just surprised how you both are actually friends."

   The sweat is now finally done, Rainbow and Scootaloo sighed, and comfortably and slowly walked off,

   "Phew! That was a close one! Good thing that she heard nothin' from us!"

   "Haha! True!" Scootaloo agreed, "Not like she's a creep or anything, overhearing our conversation, she just gotta deal with the fact that she's a who-"

   Then, two monstrous hands stretched out from the bathroom grabbed Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo from the hallway, and what's next were yellings and screamings but unheard because the door was closed. The whole school went into an earthquake, just about everyone can hear the tremors, and feel the shakings, they quickly ducked under the table, or ran outside (which was a perfect example to leave and ditch school)...

   After the short panickings, everyone returned to their normal routines in lunch. Applejack decided to look for Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo since they were gone for so long. She saw Spitfire walking out of the bathroom like nothing happened. Shrugging, Applejack still went inside, and only found nothing but two bodies lying face flat on the floor, the country girl facepalmed and sighed loudly, and slowly left as if she never saw the scene. Rainbow Dash then painfully tilted her head up and said,

   "I thought I would finally escape the horror..." Rainbow Dash finished and fell back on the ground, lying face flat.
