eight years later "Mom i'm home from school" called a voice from the front of a cave in the everfree. "scootaloo how was school today?" asked the puppet. "It was fine mom but it was lame all we did was learn about math" said the voice now identified as scootaloo.
"did you make any new friends today?" puppet asked. "not really I mean there was this filly named sweetie belle that I sat with at lunch but I don't think she counts." scootaloo said dejectedly. "aww i'm sorry sweetie how about I give you some bits and you go to sugarcube corner for something sweet? puppet asked. "no I don't think I want to go today but mom...I have a question...why don't we live in ponyville with everyone else?" scoots asked. "well scoots...that's because the ponies in ponyville don't like things that are different than them...take this forest for example most of them are too afraid to step foot here just because they don't control it's weather. now how about we go visit you aunt fluttershy? "Okay mom".
at fluttershy's cottage "oh Mr. bear what's wrong?" asked a timid quiet voice.
How i became the mother of a little orange pegasus
It was dark in ponyville when a lone Pegasus mare sped through the streets towards the outskirts of town. She was glancing behind her every now and again as she galloped out of ponyville with the little bundle in her hooves. As she ran out of the town the flapping of wings could be heard following behind her as five pegasi followed close behind. She ran for the Everfree forest but just as she was about to enter she was tackled to the ground by one of the pegasi. The bundle in her hooves fell to the ground with a cry as it hit the ground. As the mother fought with the pegasi she did not notice one of them pull out a knife and sneak up behind her. As the pegasi snuck up behind her they raised the knife and brought it down stabbing her in the head killing her instantly. As one of the pegasi made they're way to the crying foal they heard a sound from inside the everfree. It sounded like something walking towards them. As the sound got closer it started to sound like running. They paused and listened. Finally a shape appeared at the edge of the everfree. it looked like a minotaur but was too skinny. as they looked they heard a female voice in they're head. "you five reek of death and sin tell me why have you killed this mare?"
"She was the mother of a freak" spat one of the braver pegasi. "And what would you do with this child?" "She will follow her mother in death!" "No you five will leave this place at once or suffer the consequences of your actions" "And who are you to give us orders?" spat the Pegasus. "who am I? why I am just a puppet with no strings." at this the five decided that the creature and foal were not worth their time and left leaving the foal with the "puppet". "don't worry little onesaid the puppet as she picked the foal up "I will protect you".
