Scootaloo stands on her scooter, small wings buzzing propelling her along as she navigates the streets of Ponyville. She pulls up to Sugar Cube Corner and gets off her scooter leaning it against the wall as she does. She goes to the door and sees something she's never seen before. "Closed!" She exclaims. "How can they be closed?"
She turns around to ask if somepony has the time and that's when she realizes that the streets are empty. "Where is everypony?" She asks herself as she climbs back on her scooter. "I'll go see if Sweetie's home. She'll know what's going on, after all her sister keeps up with all the town's gossip."
So Scootaloo buzzes over to Carousel Boutique only to find it too closed. "This is strange, the only time that I've seen everything closed like this is..." She gasps. "It must be cider day!"
Scootaloo quickly turns her scooter the proper direction and sets off as fast as her wings will take her. When she gets there she sees a long line of ponies just like she expected, but it was who was standing at the table that surprised her.
"Flim, Flam and Trixie products are pleased to offer you it's latest revolution: Flight Tonic!" Flim says.
"That's right brother. Using Cloud Flowers and a few other ingredients which are all plainly listed on the board we've created a tonic that will allow the ordinary pony to fly!" Flam claims.
"Just to prove we're not here to cheat anypony we're offering a double your money back guarantee!" Flim says.
"That's right!" Trixie, looking more robust than the last time they'd seen her, says as she leans against Flim ever so slightly. "If our tonic doesn’t make you fly we'll give you double your money back!"
"So who here will be the first to try out new tonic?" Flam asks.
"Me! Me!" Apple Bloom says as she jumps to be seen.
"Well, that does seem fair." Flim says. "After all you did let us set up on your farm."
"In that case this one is on us." Flam says as he pushes a cup of tonic towards Apple Bloom.
Apple Bloom takes the tonic and drinks it down. The crowd goes quiet as they wait to see what happens. "I feel kinda funny." Apple Bloom says.
"That's normal." Flim says. "Just wait for it."
Just like that Apple Bloom suddenly starts to come off the ground. "Check it out!" Apple Bloom flies up a bit.
"Take it slowly." Flam warns. "Duration varies."
"Gotcha." Apple Bloom says as she flies around a couple feet off the ground.
"Who else wants some?" Flim asks.
The crowd cheers. "Alright, no more free samples. 10 bits apiece, please keep an orderly line."
Scootaloo quickly gets into the line. She watches as pony after pony drink the potion and then fly around. She sees her friend Sweetie Belle take to the air with Apple Bloom. That's when the two realize she's in line and fly over. "Hey Scootaloo." Sweetie Belle says.
"What's it like?" Scootaloo asks.
"It's awesome!" Sweetie answers.
"We finally understand why you been trying to fly for so long." Apple Bloom says
"I know." Scootaloo says. "I can't wait my turn."
"We'll be waiting for ya " Apple Bloom says as the two of them fly off.
Scootaloo waits patiently and when it's finally her turn she walks up to the table and puts her bits on the table. "I'd like to try it please."
Flim and Flam look at her confused then finally Flim speaks up. "But you're a pegasus."
"Why would you want our tonic?" Flam asks.
"I may be a pegasus, but I can't fly." Scootaloo answers. "Your tonic let's ponies fly so I want some."
Flim and Flam look at each other unsure when Trixie steps forward. "If she wants to buy some let her have some."
Flim sighs. "I guess I can't argue with my wife." He pours some tonic in a cup.
"I don't see what the big deal is." Scootaloo says as she drinks the tonic. "I've seen all these other ponies drink this stuff and they are fine."
"The problem is that we've never tested it on a pegasus before." Flam says. "So we have no idea what will happen next."
Scootaloo looks down at the empty cup. "Now you tell me."
Ending 1: ...Or Double You're Money Back
Ending 1: ....Or Double Your Money Back By: Zurvan
They all stared at Scootaloo eagerly awaiting to see what reaction to the tonic she would have. They waited a good 15 minutes when suddenly Scootaloo let out a massive belch.
The ponies in the air all flew away as Scootaloo looks at the tonic makers. "Is that it?"
"So it appears." Flim says.
"Looks like our product doesn't work on those who already have wings." Flam says.
"Give the kid her money." Trixie says as she grabs the sign with her magic. "I'm going to change the sign."
Flim sighs and pushes 20 bits toward Scootaloo. "Here you go kid. Now scram!"
Scootaloo takes the money and walks to her scooter looking all the while at all the ponies in the sky. A sky that it seems will forever be forbidden to her.
Ending 2: That Glowing Feeling
Ending 2: That Glowing Feeling
Scootaloo is lifted off the ground. “It’s working!” She flies over to her friends. “This is great!”
“Glad to see ya up here with us Scoots.” Apple Bloom says.
“What’s all the noise down here?” Rainbow Dash asks as she flies down and sees the three fillies in the air. “All are all three of you flying?”
“The Flim Flam Brothers finally made something that works.” Apple Bloom says.
“Isn’t this great?” Scootaloo asks. “I can finally fly!”
“Doesn’t feel right. You’re not moving your wings.”
Scootaloo looks back and realizes that she indeed isn’t moving her wings and starts flapping them only to start going down. “Hey, what’s up?”
“Scootaloo stop flapping your wings.” Sweetie Belle says. “Maybe the tonic will work again.”
Scootaloo stops flapping her wings and starts falling faster. She quickly flaps her wings as hard as she can slowing her fall enough that she isn’t hurt when she hits the ground. “I guess it wore off already.”
“Weird,” Sweetie says. “We both took the tonic before you, and we’re still in the air,”
“Guess it wears off quicker on some ponies.” Scootaloo says. “It’s sad to be back on the ground already, but at least I flew for a little.”
“Uh, Scootaloo, something’s wrong with your wings.” Apple Bloom says.
Scootaloo looks back to see that her normal orange plumage has turned an awful green color. “What?!”
“Come on Squirt.” Rainbow Dash says as she grabs her. “Let’s get you to Twilight, she’ll know what to do.” Rainbow flies with Scootaloo in her front legs to the castle. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom follow behind.
They enter the castle to see Twilight reading in her personal library. She looks up from her book. "Rainbow Dash what's going on?"
Just then Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle fly in. "Is Scootaloo going to be okay?"
Twilight looks at them. "How are you flying?"
"It's an interesting story." Apple Bloom says before filling Twilight in the events of the day.
"All right." Twilight says. "Let's go down to my lab." She gets up and leads them down some stairs. As she descends she lights up her horn. When they get to the bottom it's dark other than her horn and two glowing objects.
"What's glowing? Sweetie Belle asks.
"It's me." Scootaloo says and everypony looks back at her.
"Twilight, put your horn out." Rainbow Dash says.
Twilight extinguishes her horn and they all look in shock at Scootaloo's wings that are lighting the area up bright as day.
Rainbow Dash starts laughing. "Hey, this isn't funny!"
Twilight hides a smirks with her hoof. "I see it as mildly amusing."
"Come on, let's see if you can reverse this." Scootaloo says and they all go into the lab.
A couple hours later they all exit the lab. Scootaloo hangs her head as she walks, her bright green wings tucked against her sides. "I'm sorry." Sweetie Belle as she comes out behind her.
"I should have guessed that it would be permanent." Scootaloo says. "At least I got to fly for a little."
"You could drink more of the tonic." Sweetie Belle offers. "It might reverse the effects."
"Twilight said it might also make my wings fall off." Scootaloo says. "Besides she said that they were impounding all the remaining tonic."
Sweetie nods. "Oh well. Maybe you can get your cutie mark as a crossing guard in Manehatten?"
"What are you talking about?"
"When Rarity took me there I saw ponies whose job it was to stop traffic and let ponies through. They all wore jackets about the color of your wings."
Scootaloo sighs. "Worth a try."
A month later Scootaloo returns to Ponyville with a cutie mark in the shape of a five sided yellow sign a image of a pony crossing in a crosswalk is on the sign.
Ending 3: I'm A What Now!
Ending 3: I’m a what now? By: TheGreatEater
Suddenly Scootaloo started to vibrate faster than Pinkie Pie on a concentrated, liquid sugar bender. Cracks forming around her body and a bright strobing light pulsating from her. Flim, Flam and Trixie looked at one another in shock just as Scootaloo blew up leaving behind a filly shaped scorch mark on the ground.
“B-what!? We didn’t have anything that could explode in there, and why does everything smell like tree sap now?” Trixie asked.
“I don’t know, but I’m more worried about the flying angry mob that’s around us at the moment,” Flim replied.
“Well it’s been a pleasure knowing you both, and since we’re going to die anyways,” Flam said before bursting into green flames, “We’re both changelings.”
“Well no use hiding it,” Flim replied before changing as well. Looking up at the myriad of insanely angry ponies above them. Too think that I had the best free love in all of Equestria, and this was going to be our best act of Love Collecting to date … at least that wasn’t us trolling Equestria while doing it. Good bye Trixie, you were the best love I’ve ever tasted … had … what evs. It was nice knowing you before getting killed by ravage ponies. At least this can’t get anyworse..
“Ummm … I know we’re going to die. Horribly, but still when you’re inner monologuing isn’t inner monologuing when everypony can hear you. But still in a creepy way that was almost romantic,” Trixie responded as the flying ponies of death hovered around them.
***
Scootaloo hovered in a sea of stars. It was quite beautiful if you were to ignore the throbbing headache that she was experiencing. Just as she was about to come to grips that she died. Celestia appeared before her, “Oh! Hello my little pony how’d you enter here?”
“I blew up,” Scootloo replied still in shock.
“Blew up?”
“Uhuh.”
“As in keplow-splosions of fiery death?”
“Yep. I drank a potion that let non-pegasi fly. I tried it, and went boom.”
“Oh … well … this is interesting,” Celestia replied completely flummoxed.
“So this is where ponies go when they die? It looks pretty,” Scootaloo mumbled.
“Well that’s what’s interesting. You aren’t dead,” Celestia responded.
“But … the massive explosiony death of filly sized proportions?” Scootaloo asked giving Celestia the most adorable puppy dog eyes that were ever gazed upon.
“Yes … that might complicate things. Well you see … Scootaloo was it?” Celestia replied with a raised eyebrow.
“How’d you know?”
“Well I’ve seen you a few times in Canterlot, and Rainbow Dash has mentioned you a few times in her Friendship Reports.”
“Really!?” Scootaloo shouted, her tiny wings buzzing in pure joy.
“Yes really,” Celestia giggled, “But Scootaloo, this is where ponies go not to die. But to become Alicorns.”
“So I’m going to be a Princess?”
“Yes, now-”
That’s all Scootaloo needed to hear before she started bouncing around ecstatically, shooting a thousand questions a second at Celestia whose ears flattened at the onslaught.
“Does that mean I can fly? Can I move the moon too now? Do all Alicorns burst into flames or only Twilight? Do I get super powers? Can I shoot laser beams out of my eyes? What about banishing my enemies into the bowels of the earth to get eaten by mole ponies? Do I still have a bed time? -”
Celestia put her hoof on Scootaloo’s muzzle to silence her and in her usual cryptic way replied, “All will be revealed shortly. Now let’s see, where to send you back?”
Opening her stalker mirror, she peeped on to two Changelings cowering behind Trixie as the entire town of Ponyville was about to set onto them with great fury, “Well there looks good. Now to give you your princessly powers.”
With that she booped Scootaloo on the nose as her inner magic popped out of her and wrapped her in it’s magical bubble. Great, now there’s another princess. Now me and Luna can finally take a Vacation, and I’ll teach Scootaloo about princessing when I get back … Better yet. Since Twilight will be ruling with her, I can tell Twilight it’s a test. She’d love it. Wow! I’m such a nice pony.
***
Celestia appeared before the mob before they could enact their vengeance and add said in a loud tone, “Worry not my little ponies,” before looking at the Changelings, “and you two.
“For Scootaloo isn’t dead. She is in fact Equestria’s newest Princess!” Pointing out to the sky they saw a violet light descend from the sky, and as they saw their newest princess, Celestia summoned Luna who was still sleeping and wearing her adorable opossum onesie that Celestia bought her last Hearth’s Warming.
As the crowd cheered, Luna woke up and seeing where she was gave Celestia a glare that burned with the fury of a thousand fluffy pillows. It would be more threatening, but Luna looked to adorable to be intimidating at the moment. Leaning in Celestia whispered, “We got a new princess, go over to Twilight’s castle and wait for me there. I have a surprise for us both that you’re going to like. I promise.”
“But Tia!” Luna moaned in a hushed tone, “Did you need to embarrass us by teleporting us in our most favorite onesie? This is private!”
“Oh, don’t worry. Everyone will think you’re utterly adorable. Now go along, and don’t forget, I love you, Little Lulu Gumdrops.”
“Pffft! We haven’t been called that since we were a foal.” Luna huffed before relenting, “But we love you too. But we still will have our vengeance.”
“And I’m sure it’ll be lovely.” Celestia retorted playfully.
Celestia trotted over to the Changeling Trolls and Trixie, “Well this is quite an interesting potion, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to confiscate it. Although you shall be reimbursed.”
“But … um your majesty … this has been our first legitimate show … um product since ever. What’ll we do now?” Trixie asked in a shaky bow.
“Whatever do you mean? I thought being promoted to the head of whatever court Scootaloo forms would be a good enough?” Celestia replied with a dark chuckle.
“What?” All three asked.
“Well you were responsible for her ascension … even if it could have gone much worse if you had picked the golden pickledillies just a moon later. So it’s only fair that you be there for her in this new chapter in her life,” Celestia said. That and it’ll be funny to see what chaos you lot stir in that stuff old castle of ours. Oh I sure hope Discord isn’t listening in. Last time I was thinking about causing chaos he did a spit take that flooded Yakistan in Ricotta cheese. To think the Yaks still think that, their snow is actual snow even a few thousand years later. Rather than frozen cheese. I just don’t have the heart to tell them.
“Thank you your highness,” Flamling buzzed.
“Well anywho I must be off. Head over to Canterlot on the morrow, and you’re positions will be ready for you.”
***
Scootaloo rode into Twilight’s castle on Celestia’s back grinning from ear to ear. She didn’t know what being a princesses was all about, or what she was going to be princesses of. But still not many ponies could brag they rode Celestia after becoming an alicorn from a potion induced explosion. Although the number of ponies who could brag about riding Celestia at all were very few indeed to begin with.
Although it was kind of boring watching her write all those stuffy looking letters that she teleported to wherever it was that Celestia teleports her stuff to. Which Scootaloo was disappointed to hear wasn’t her secret lair, or the room she hides her toys, or the room where she gets all of her cake from. Scootaloo did find it funny that a pony would blush so hard at having a toy room. After all Scootaloo, even being as mature and big a pony as she was still had a special place for all her toys that she liked playing with … even though she’d deny to anypony but her friends. I’ll ask Twilight later why Celestia is so embarrassed about having a secret toy room? She’s a smart pony. I bet she knows everything!
She was shaken from her inner musings by a shout and a loud explosion. Followed by a rather disheveled Twilight stumbling out into the foyer. Scootaloo snickered, “Twilight, you’re already a princess.”
Twilight blushed, “I know … I was just curious.”
“And?” Celestia asked.
“I didn’t become a super princess, I burped an explosive ball of rainbows and glitter.”
“Well I know what to give Luna tonight before she goes to sleep. Where is she anyways?”
“Oh she’s lurking about. Something about being mad at the indignation of being seen as adorable rather than as a Princess of the Night.”
“I’m not lurking. Anyways now that you’re here. What is the surprise you told us about?”
“Oh that! Well …” Taking off her crown and setting it on Twilight’s head, and summoning Luna’s and plopping it on Scootaloo’s she said, “Congratulations for the next month you two will be ruling princesses of Equestria, and I task you Twilight to teach Scootaloo everything about being a princess. Now me and Luna are going on a vacation,” she said while teleporting a giant beach umbrella.
“Tia? What’s a vacation?”
“Oh it’s where you don’t have to work for a while.”
“I’m sorry, but I still don’t get it? There’s such a thing as no work?”
“Yep! Well tootles! And don’t worry, I got new staff members for Scootaloo they’ll meet you in Canterlot tomorrow.”
Picking up Luna and holding her tight she yelled, “Princesses away!” With that ancient chant said the wind picked up and carried Celestia away letting her ride the umbrella like a Braytish nanny.
“Sooo … Twilight, did you know Celestia has a secret toy room?” Double Innuendo for the win!
Ending 4: The Golden Eggs
Ending 4: The Golden Eggs By: TheGreatEater
“Great now you tell me,” Scoots said before a rumbling feeling filled her stomach, “Oh! I don’t feel so good.”
Scootaloo’s forelegs gripped her stomach as she doubled over. Her stomach rapidly expanding, before she moaned as a golden baby sized egg popped out of her filly hole. Followed by another, then another, and another.
“Wow! Is that gold!?” Flam yelled excitedly.
With that one comment everypony flocked over to Scootaloo who was popping out eggs at an alarming rate. Moaning as one egg after another rolled out of her.
“Hey! I’m gonna get me some too!” Rainbow Dash yelled throwing ten bits down before chugging a potion that was on the table. Only for her fur to erupt around her and turn rainbow colored, giving her the look of a giant rainbow pom-pom.
Twilight teleported beside the poor pegasus filly, “Dash! Scootaloo here is clearly in pain, and you guzzle a potion not made for pegasi before helping her?”
The pom-pomasus wiggled shamefully before leaning over Scoots, “Sorry squirt … I guess I got caught up in thinking of free gold, I’m sorry.”
“Please let me di-i-ie!” Scoots moaned as her thirtieth egg popped out. With no signs of slowing down.
“Don’t worry Scootaloo, me and the girls will find a place for you and your eggs, until we can find a way to stop this,” Twilight said gently, giving PomDash a ‘you better pull through on this’ glare.
***3 weeks later***
Rainbow Dash had returned to normal a few days prior, but had as she had throughout Scootaloo’s ordeal stay beside her little filly sister. For emotional support … and a great amount of fear of what Twilight would do if she tried escaping again. After all it wasn’t Rainbow Dash’s fault that she was uncomfortable with emotional situations, and child birth made her queasy.
“Dash?” Scootaloo panted, as they rested above a mountain of golden eggs. Twilight said that one egg alone was worth 16,223 bits already making her the wealthiest pony in history. With an estimated 907,200 eggs, or 14,726,577,600 bits. Aka. Richer than Celestia’s, and Cadance’s nations put together in all the history of Equestria.
“Yeah Squirt?”
“I’m sorry you have to stay with me,” Scoots mumbled.
“Nah! It’s no big. I mean sure it’s kinda unnerving seeing you pop these suckers out at 30 eggs a minute is pretty weird. But well … I’m supposed to be your big sister. So well … I’m here for you squirt. And your stomach's not doing that expanding thing anymore. So I think that was the last of them.”
“Yay!” Scoots whispered enthusiastically.
Just then the mountain started to rumble and shake. Sensing danger Dash rushed to the door to open it so the eggs could roll out and not explode her little sis. As the last of the eggs rolled out, surrounding ponyville in a flood of golden eggs with Scootaloo sitting in the center of them all. They hatched.
The infants had the front half of a Scootaloo, with Scootaloo wings, but their back half was that of a chicks. With orange feathers and a bright violet tail. As one they all looked at Scootaloo, and the ScootaChicks yelled, “Momma! Momma!”
And that folks is how Scootaloo gave birth to the race of Scootkins, and became the wealthiest pony in all of history. Foal sized egg. About 3 lbs, or 1.3 kilograms. In gold that's 48,671 USD
. USD to Bits is USD/3. That puts it at 16,233.666r.
Ending 5: In Full Flight By: k9grommer
Scootaloo held the cup in her hoof, looking at it in disbelief. It figures, she thought, finally, a potion that makes everyone fly…except me. A tear fell down and plopped in the liquid and she shrugged…”What the heck?” she said, and downed the contents. She waited. Nothing. She looked at Apple Bloom, hovering over the ground, moving her legs and flailing her head about in an effort to look graceful.
Scootaloo sat down and waited. Still nothing. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle sensed her sadness and went and sat down next to her. “Its ok,“ Apple Bloom reassured her. “It’s not all that fun to fly anyways. I’d rather be down on the ground. “
Scootaloo knew what she was doing and smiled. She hugged Apple Bloom, got up, picked up her scooter and started to go home. Why, she thought, why can’t I fly? What did I do to be denied the very core of a pegasus’ existence? Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom started to follow her, but a teary eyed, crestfallen Scootaloo asked them to just let her be alone.
So she started home, pushing on her scooter slowly and without any enthusiasm. And suddenly she had an idea. Maybe she just didn’t take ENOUGH of the potion. THAT had to be it! If any other pony was granted flight and she, the only pegasus, didn’t…that only meant that she just hadn’t taken enough. She turned around and went back to where the action had been, and went around to the back…and waited. It took awhile before the crowd dispersed, but they left, slowly but surely, and soon it was just her…and a table full of bottles.
Slowly, carefully, she walked over to the table and examined the lot. There was a plethora of bottles…beautiful, colorful, ornate glass blown bottles that were no doubt the vessels of the magic flying potion. Anything that special could only be kept in exquisite bottles such as these. She picked one up, uncorked it and sniffed the contents. It didn’t smell like anything. She dipped her tongue inside and tasted it..nothing…it was tasteless. She recalled back to the potion she had drank and remembered that it had no flavor, either…so she threw her head back and tossed the entire bottle down her throat. She repeated this with six more bottles, one right after another..and waited. Nothing. She drank another bottle and for good measure, two more, and then…. She felt funny. She shook her head, her eyes were seeing double and she felt light headed. Thinking she was going to pass out she sat down for a few moments until it passed and then got up and buzzed her wings. Something felt different. Something was….different.
She went outside, started to run, her mane blowing in the wind. She had a feeling she was going to fly. She wasn’t sure why..she was just sure. She ran as fast as she could, buzzed her little wings and prepared herself mentally for the Grand Launch. She lept into the air and…..ascended.
“OH!” She squeed in delight. “OH!! I’m flying!! Im flying, Im really flying!”
Higher into the air she climbed, her wings buzzing as hard as they’d ever been. Now this…this is what was going to strengthen her wings and make them grow. She extended her front legs, stretched out her back legs, put her head up and smiled. She tucked her head down and did a flip. “I did a FLIP!” she exclaimed, and as an encore to the flip, she rolled over, and over and over again, going up, coming back down, doing just about everything Dash could do without the speed, but that would come, that would come in time.
The potion worked! It worked like a charm, and it was working it’s magic on her! Scootaloo knew she would have to take this stuff every day if she was going to keep flying, but that was fine. Being airborne meant the world to her and if she had to take it everyday…she would, without hesitation. She would have to get a job to earn the bits to pay for it…but if that meant she had to quit school and work every single day to pay for it, she would do whatever it took.
She was confident that it no time at all, she would be just as good as Dash, and she and Dash would try out for the Wonderbolts…and they would both make it..her and Dash on the same team!! She felt so high, and she WAS high. She was flying as high as she’d ever been. Now she finally knew how Dash felt. This was the best feeling ever. Dash! Dash HAD to see her! She turned herself around, and flew over to Dash’s cloud. She would have to thank Trixie, Flim and Flam for creating this amazing potion. Why hadn’t they thought of this before!
Scootaloo flew to Dash’s cloud and clumsily landed next to her. Dash was sleeping, so Scootaloo snuggled in next to her. She was the happiest she had ever been, in her entire life. Here she was, on Dash’s cloud, laying next to her, but the best part about it was…she FLEW up here. She buzzed her wings and looked at them proudly, and admired them for the first time in her life. A tear squeezed out of her eye and rolled down her face. She licked up the salty drop, and fell asleep next to Dash.
An hour later Dash woke up, stretched, yawned, and nearly fell off the cloud when she realized she wasn’t up there alone. She couldn’t believe Scootaloo was up there with her!
Scootaloo proudly lifted her head and closed her eyes. “I FLEW.” She exclaimed.
“How? I mean…wh…I mean…did your wings grow? What happened?”
“Trixie made a potion that makes ponies fly. AND I GOT SOME. And now I can fly. Just watch.” She lept off the cloud. Dash instinctively reached for her and prepared to catch her should she fall. Scootaloo was doing it! She flipped, she rolled, she dove, she climbed and dropped, she was really doing it! Dash wasted no time in joining her, and together they flew, intertwining with each other, playing, laughing, squeeing.
Dash was so happy for her, finally, finally the little pegasus could do what she had been yearning for for so long. “Squirt this is amazing!” She said, “you can fly now! Do you know what this means? Your whole world is going to open up! I can teach you stuff and you and I can be flying partners!”
Those were the best words Scootaloo had ever heard. The pair flew over Ponyville and went to Sugarcube Corner. Ponies were starting to notice that Scootaloo was actually up there and soon there was a crowd gathered on the ground, everyone watching her new ability, which Scootaloo was showing off, hoping everypony in town saw her.
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom HAD to see this. She and Dash flew to the clubhouse and landed on the roof. Sweetie Belle had come outside to see what the ruckus was, and squealed in excitement when she saw her friend on the roof. Apple Bloom came out and jumped up and down. “you’re doing it!” She yelled, and winked at Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo wasted no time with the announcement that she would be leaving the Crusaders. She was sure to get her cutie mark now. The two fillies accepted the bittersweet resignation and watched Scootaloo fly up with Dash. “This is everything she’s ever wanted.” Apple Bloom said with a big smile.
Pinkie Pie shouted a congrats; AJ threw her hat in the air and gave a “Yahoo!”; Rarity looked up and even cried. She had seen Scootaloo struggle for so long, she was genuinely happy for her, finally she was free from the bondage of flightlessness. Princess Twilight was so proud, she cried, as well, her and Spike hugged in an expression of sheer joy for little Scoots. Fluttershy joined them and the three of them flew and played in the air, finally, finally Scootaloo’s dream had come true.
“I’M DONE with my scooter!” Scootaloo announced. “Im moving on to bigger and better things! I think I'm just going to throw it away now.” She flew down, swiped the scooter and brought it back up.
“I don’t know if you should do that right away,” Dash reasoned.
“Why not? I’m done! I won’t need this old thing ever again! This scooter was a symbol of my weakness!” She opened her hoof and it dropped down, striking a rock and splintering into a thousand pieces. The wheels rolled in different directions and came to rest on the grass. Dash and Fluttershy looked at each other and shrugged. Scootaloo was one of the Big Girls now! Life was changing for sweet little Scootaloo.
Scootaloo led Fluttershy and Dash on an extensive flying adventure, going so long the two older mares were becoming worn out. “Let’s take a break.” Dash suggested.
“NO! I don’t WANT to REST! I feel so so GOOD!” SCootaloo exclaimed.
She spotted Trixie, Flim and Flam, and flew down to thank them. She said nothing at first, only gave them a big hug. “Oh my, “ Trixie said, “What’s all this for Scootaloo?”
“Thank you! Thank you to all of you!”
The three looked at each other quizzically. “Thank you…for what?” Flam asked.
“For the flying potion! Just watch!” Scootaloo buzzed through the air like a rocket and landed on a cloud. Just then she decided she was going to start sleeping on clouds, just like Dash. Just. Like. Dash.
Flim, Flam and Trixie looked at each other and then back at Scootaloo.
“Scootaloo,” Flam yelled. “I thought we told you that we hadn’t tried it out on Pegasi.”
“I know.” Scootaloo replied, “ I went back and drank eight bottles and now look! LOOK what I can do!”
“Scootaloo, the formula has only been proven to work on earthbound ponies. We never made one for pegasi because Pegasi can fly..well…most of them. Where did you even GET it from, anyways?”
“I drank it out of all those fancy bottles on the table!”
“Those glass bottles?”
“Yes! Those pretty glass ones!”
“Hmm..” Flim says as he looks at his brother.
“That wasn’t the potion.” Flam admits.
Scootaloo’s heart sank. “What do you mean? What was in those bottles?”
“Water.” Flim states firmly.
Dash and Fluttershy looked at each other, then at Scootaloo, who stood perfectly still and didn’t move a muscle. She fell through the cloud and quickly plunged downward toward the ground.
Scootaloo landed in a bush, and everyone flew in around her. She pulled herself out , shook herself off and when she did, her fur and feathers went flying off her body. She came out of the bush looking like a plucked chicken.
"Scootaloo!" Dash exclaimed,"Look!" Scootaloos flank started to tingle, and low and behold .. A cutie mark was appearing!!
"I've never seen one actually come in before!" Fluttershy said. They all watched in awe as the glistening mark appeared.
"What IS it?" Dash asked.
Scootaloo brushed her hoof over it. It was a leg... A cooked chicken leg
Ending 6: Touching The Sky
Ending 6: Touching The Sky By: Dusk Midnight Melody
Scootaloo’s first reaction upon drinking the potion was to throw it straight back up again, preferably aiming for and getting Flim, Flam or Trixie in the process. Truly she’d never tasted anything so vile in all her young life, although that one time during a Crusader sleep over at Carousel Boutique when it had been Sweetie Belle’s turn to cook breakfast came very close.
The orange filly clutched at her insides as the viscous liquid burned its way down her oesophagus into her belly. Scootaloo didn’t know how but she could feel the damned potion in her belly, like her very gut was on fire.
Involuntarily she dropped to her knees and started to writhe in pain on the grass in front of the startled salesponies.
“Um…Scootaloo…the Great and Powerful Trixie demands to if you’re alright…please?”
“Alright? Alright!?” Scootaloo managed to shoot the showmare a hateful look as she writhed in the dirt. “Do I…aaaaAAAAAAgggggHH! It burns, it bucking burns!...look alright?”
Scootaloo screamed as the potion she had just drank began to work its way down her legs to her hooves. So intense was the pain tears formed and streamed down her cheeks, staining her orange fur with their passage.
Flim looked at Flam; “Run.”
Flam looked at Flim; “Run.”
Trixie looked at them both, an outraged look on her face. “What? We can’t just leave her here like this!”
Then the infernal potion reached Scootaloo’s wings. Her world whited out, her nerves overwhelmed by sensation. If she had known pain before it was nothing like this. Every feather felt like it was being twisted and pulled from her body, her very bone marrow felt like it was on fire. Her scream went so loud the assembled ponies could no longer hear it.
Trixie stood stunned, a look of utter disbelief on her face. ‘She’s going to die and we’re going to jail…’ the blue unicorn thought to herself. Taking one look at both Flim and Flam the scared unicorn whispered one word; “Run!”
Slowly, gradually, the pain that wracked Scootaloo’s tiny body subsided. Tentatively the orange filly took a breath, then another and another.
‘I’m alive!’ Was the first thought that went through her head.
She opened an eye, then the other one. So far everything was okay. Carefully Scootaloo got to her hooves, standing shakily she looked around to find herself alone. ‘Plotholes.’ She thought as she realised all trace of the salesponies had vanished, along with their stall.
“So…now what?” Scootaloo said out loud to nopony. As far as she could see there was nothing different. Nothing had changed, certainly nothing to warrant the intense amount of pain she’d just endured.
“What the buck was supposed to happen?” Scootaloo grumbled miserably as she got her scooter. “What a thorough waste of my time!” The filly kicked her scooter into life and rode off to find Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. At least the potion had worked for them. Once she found them they could tell her what flying was like.
Her mood all sullen Scootaloo flapped her wings as was her habit when she was riding her scooter. Buzzing her tiny wings eked out a few more miles per hour on her speed, and going as fast as possible felt to her like flying.
Only…only this time it was different.
Scootaloo looked around and noticed she was higher than normal, the ground a few feet beneath her orange hooves. Happily she let go of her scooter and watched it drop the short distance to the ground. Looking behind her Scootaloo saw her wings flapping for all she was worth.
She was doing it. Finally doing it.
Ending 7: Do Your Wings Hang Low?
Ending 7: Do Your Wings Hang Low? By: Zurvan
“Scoots!” Apple Bloom yells. “Your wings!”
“What?” Scootaloo asks as she turns around and looks at her wings. SHe see’s her wings growing quickly. “Yes, finally!” She turns to the vendors. “Thank you.”
“You may not want to thank us just yet.” Flim says.
“Doesn’t look like your wings are done growing.” Flam says.
Scootaloo turns back and sees her wings have grown beyond the size they should be for her age and would soon approach the size of a normal adult’s wing span. “Help!”
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom look at each other. “Princess Twilight!” The say in unison and then fly off toward the castle.
About 5 minutes later Twilight appears in a flash of purple. She quickly charges her horn and places Scootaloo in a bubble. Scootaloo appears to be asleep in the bubble.“What exactly did you put in that potion?” Twilight asks as she glares at the trio of ponies.
“Are ingredients are clearly listed on the board for all to see.” Trixie answers, then adds with a sneer. “Princess.”
Twilight walks over to the board levitating the bubble. "Cloud flowers; poison joke extract; liquefied pegasi feathers?" She looks up at the trio. "Care to share how that works?"
Flim and Flam both look at Trixie. Trixie sighs. "First you boil the feathers to get rid of impurities. Then you crush them into a fine powder. Finally you place the powder in a vial over fire until the dust liquefies."
Twilight nods. "Very methodical."
"I couldn't risk anything being a fluke." Trixie explains. "Every batch was made in as sterile conditions as possible."
"And you say nopony before Scootaloo has had any side effects?"
"The first batch we tested the ponies experienced nausea and headaches.”
“Whom did you test it on?”
“We put out sign offering bits to ponies willing to try a potion designed to let ordinary ponies fly.” Trixie answers. “You’d be surprised how many ponies would show up even with the large warning saying the potion had not been tested yet.”
Twilight nods. “So that’s why you have ginger root and white willow bark in there.”
Trixie nods. “We attempted a few other combinations, but those proved to be potentially fatal. Once we had the current recipe working we once again put out posters to test it. This time we saw no side effects,”
“Then what happened with Scootaloo?”
Trixie sighs. “Unfortunately we were never able to test is on pegasi before.”
“YOU LET A CHILD TAKE AN UNTESTED POTION?” Twilight yells at Trixie.
“We just hadn’t be able to test it on pegasi.” Trixie says. “I honestly didn’t think there would be any major side effects.”
“Thanks to your potion I have her in a stasis bubble to stop her wings from growing anymore.” Twilight says as she looks at the young pegasus in the bubble, her wings enveloping her. “I’d say her wing span is at least equal to that of Princess Celestia’s. So I have to ask how long until this potion wears off?”
Trixie rubs the back of her neck with her fore-hoof. “It’s different with everypony.”
“Do you have an antidote?”
“No, the potion’s not poisonous, we each tested every batch that we were going to sell before we bottled it.”
"You tested it?"
"I have a doctor that monitors me and my foal." Trixie says as she rubs her belly. "Had to make sure it was safe."
Twilight sighs. "No more selling to pegasi."
"Of course." Trixie says. "If I'd had any idea it would have affected her so I wouldn't have sold it to her."
Twilight nods. "I need to confiscate the rest of this batch so I can attempt to find an antidote."
"You can't do that!" Flam yells.
Twilight flares her wings. "You dare question what a princess of Equestria can and can't do?"
"Well...um..." Flam tries to speak obviously flustered.
"What I believe my brother meant is that each batch of the tonic requires a good deal of money to make. I believe he is worried about the cost of not being paid anything for this batch."
"Very well." Twilight sighs. "Provide me with a cost analysis for this batch of tonic along with how much you've already made and I'll have you reimbursed for the remainder."
"That hardly.." Flam starts only to be cut off by his brother's hoof.
"We appreciate whatever you deem fair." Flim says.
"Good." Twilight says. "Now I need to get it to my castle."
"I had a feeling you would need help." Applejack's voice calls out. The crowd immediately moves aside to let Applejack through. She's immediately followed by Big Mac whose hitched to a wagon. "Put that potion in the wagon. Big Mac here will carry it to the castle for ya.”
“Eeyup.” Big Mac says.
Twilight uses her magic to move the potion to the wagon and then she and Big Mac are underway.
==========
Several days later the Mane 6 minus Twilight, Spike, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle all sit waiting for news. When Twilight, her mane a mess comes out of her laboratory. Rainbow Dash flies over to her. "Well?"
"I've exhausted every available idea to create an antidote." Twilight answers her voice sad.
"Then what's going to happen to Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"I'm going to take her out of the stasis bubble and cast a permanent growth stunt spell on her."
"You can't be serious Darling." Rarity says and Twilight just nods.
"Rarity, what's a growth stunt spell?" Sweetie Belle asks.
Rarity looks at Twilight who speaks up. "Very simply the spell stops things from growing."
"So that means her wings won't get any bigger right?" Apple Bloom asks.
"It does." Twilight answers looking to the floor.
"Why do I get the feeling that's not all it would do?" Applejack asks.
Twilight sighs. "She won't grow either."
The others all look at each other. "Is there another option?" Fluttershy asks.
"I could keep her in the stasis bubble until such time as somepony comes up with a way to reverse her condition." Twilight answers.
"How long could that take?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Days; weeks; months; years; decades; centuries. No way of telling." Twilight answers.
"Is there anyway you could give her the choice?" Rarity asks.
Twilight nods. "Yeah, I can do that."
"I think that's what you should do then." Rarity says and the others nod.
"That sounds reasonable." Twilight says. "I'll bring her in and prepare the necessary spells." Twilight opens back up the laboratory and levitates the stasis bubble containing Scootaloo out to the main room. "Everypony ready? She may have questions for all of us." Everypony nods and Twilight removes the bubble and hits Scootaloo with two spells.
Scootaloo wakes up and looks around. "What happened?" She goes to get up and realizes her wings are huge. "Oh great that wasn't a dream."
"No, it wasn't." Twilight says. "Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to reverse it."
Scootaloo groans. "I knew complaining about my small wings would come back to haunt me."
"I've cast a temporary spell on you that has completely stopped you from growing."
"Wait! The potion is still working?"
"It appears that the effects of the potion are permanent if given to a pony who doesn't have their cutie mark."
"So I'm stuck like this for the rest of my life?"
"It's either that or put you back in the bubble until somepony can figure out how to reverse it."
"How long could that take?"
"I have no idea, the whole world could be different by the time you are awake again."
"There's no way to just stop my wings from growing so that I can grow into them?"
"If there is I don't know about it."
"Is this stop growing spell permanent?"
"I would make it so it could be removed if a way to reverse it was found."
Scootaloo nods. "Can you do anything for my wings at all? Right now I can't even stand up."
Twilight thinks for a minute. "I can make them lighter, but we'll need to strengthen you up cause I'll have to cast that spell every couple days."
"I understand." Scootaloo says. "Please do that and the stop growing spell. I think I'd rather be able to spend time with my friends."
Twilight nods. "Very well." She quickly casts both spells. "I'll need you to come see me in a couple days to see how the spells are holding up."
"Can I go home for now?"
"Of course."
=========
6 months later. Sweetie Belle walks up to Apple Bloom who is lying in an open field on the farm. "Hey Apple Bloom, what you doing?"
Apple Bloom holds up a piece of wood with string wrapped around it. "Look up."
Sweetie Belle follows the string up until she sees Scootaloo in the sky, her massive wings spread. A collar around her neck has the string connected to it as does a ring on her tail. "Sweetie look, I'm flying!"
Ending 8: Happy Ending By: Zurvan
Scootaloo let's out a groan and curls up into a ball and places her front legs between her rear legs and presses against her nethers. "It burns.!"
Apple Bloom flies over to her friend. "Scootaloo, what's the matter?"
"It hurts down there." Scootaloo says in pain.
Nurse Redheart pushes her way through the crowd. "Scootaloo I need you to move your hooves so I can see if everything is okay."
"Nurse Redheart?" Scootaloo asks. "What are you doing here?"
"When I heard that the Flim Flam brothers were back in town I figured it would be best to have a nurse nearby." Redheart answers. "Now I really need you to move your hooves."
"Can we move the crowd back please?" Scootaloo asks obviously embarrassed by where the pain was.
"You heard her." Nurse Redheart says trying to get the crowd to back away.
"The good nurse asked everyone to back away." Flim says.
"We are still waiting our turn for tonic!" One of the ponies shouts.
"And you are welcome to come back tomorrow, depending on what happens to this filly here." Flam says.
"Our tonic is not designed to hurt anypony." Trixie says. "So we can not continue to sell it until we see how this filly reacts."
With that the crowd dissipates leaving Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Nurse Redheart near Scootaloo and the trio of salesponies at the table gathering everything up to put it away. "Alright Scootaloo." Redheart says. "Just me and your friends now. Will you move your hooves so I can see where it hurts?"
Scootaloo nods. "The pain is going away now."
Scootaloo moves her hooves and Nurse Redheart gasps. "Oh my!"
"What's the matter?" Scootaloo asks as she looks down at herself only to discover that in addition to her usual bits she has a rather impressive piece colt equipment. "What in Celestia's name?"
"Scootaloo." Apple Bloom says looking at the new hermaphrodite with hunger in her eyes.
"Is that real?" Sweetie Belle asks her eyes mirroring Apple Bloom.
"Girls why are you staring at me like that?" Scootaloo asks unsure how to react to their lecherous looks.
Sweetie Belle looks at Apple Bloom and grins. "Cutie Mark Crusaders ménage à trois?"
Apple Bloom looks at her confused. "Huh?"
Sweetie blushes slightly. "Sorry. Fleur used the term at the Boutique last week." She flies over to her and whispers the explanation into her ear.
Apple Bloom's eyes light up. "As my sis might say: Yeehaw!"
The two fillies fly down and grab Scootaloo each getting her under one arm. "Girls!" Nurse Redheart yells. "Where are you going?"
The girls don't respond as they fly off.Flim stands there watching them. "Trixie, I think we need a new sign."
"I'll get right to work on it." Trixie says. "I think we should charge pegasi double, no triple."
Flam speaks up. "Are you not concerned that filly will come back unsatisfied?"
"Trust me brother." Flim says. "All three of them are going to be very satisfied. Very satisfied indeed."
