Like A Puppet In Suspention

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.
