The time eventually came when Scooter had to go home. I’ll never say it out loud, but I had been dreading the day from the start. “Ya’ll packed up girls,” Jackie called.

The all responded positively, “Alright let’s get going,” Clare said. Clare, Jackie and Dashie were taking the girls back home for school. Odds are really good that this summer was the last I’d ever spend this much time with Scooter.

Everyone was ready, but I could tell Scooter didn’t want to leave, “Scootaloo are you alright?” Clare asked. She shook her head negatively. I sighed and walked over taking her hands in mine.

“Hey, we both knew this day was coming didn’t we?” I asked. She nodded refusing to look at me while tears starting to form in her eyes. “Scootaloo look at me,” I said. She sniffed and locked her bloodshot eyes with mine. “You wanna know why I’m not sad?” I asked. She nodded, “I’m not sad because I don’t plan on making this a one time thing. You’re dumb if you think I’m not coming for a visit whenever I go to Anthaville. Plus for the past three years I’ve been having Thanksgiving and Christmas at Flutters’ cottage. You really think I’m not going to drag you down to earth and get in some trouble with you. And if you think for one second that I’m not going to troll you at school one day saying that you have a family emergency and then I’ll take you to six flags you’re crazy.” She bit her lower lip smiling at me and we embraced, “I love you scooter girl, no amount of distance is gonna change that,” I said.

“What did we miss?” Belle asked. Scooter stepped back, stood on her tippy toes and we kissed. Just a little lip kiss, but it was nice.

“A lot apparently, Yer not gettin’ hitched are ya?” Annabeth asked.

“Oh god no,” we both said at the same time laughing after.

Scooter sighed, “You’re right as usual, I love you too Michael. Hey I can fly now so who knows maybe I can come visit you when Dashie makes me faster,” she said.

“Well I would like to see what you can do on an advanced program with the pins, but we’d need a couple months again. Maybe next summer, but I gotta stick here per the employment of Celestia,” I said.

“We’ll give you a sec, come on girls the van’s a waitin’,” Jackie said as everyone left with the exception of Flutters, Scooter and I. Flutters was staying behind since no one else would be here considering Sparks was with Celestia getting ready for the festival.

“Well maybe I’ll just come stay with you next summer. Maybe I can sleep in bed with you and Flutters,” she said.

“Um . . . what why me?” Flutters asked nervously.

“You’ll be together if not married by then I hope. For a while I wanted you and Dashie together, but when I saw you two having sex . . . you put so much love into each other it was beautiful in retrospect. I just hope I get as lucky as you Flutters,” Scooter said.

Instead of saying anything or acting shy Flutters walked over to her and took Scooter’s face in her lovely hands, “You will, you are an amazing young woman Scootaloo. You deserve the best,” Flutters said before kissing Scooter on the head and lips. Straight or gay if Flutters kissed you and you weren’t expecting it you blushed like Scooter was.

“I love you guys, I’m uh . . . get going now,” Scooter said tripping over herself on the way out. We waved goodbye as the van turned a corner and disappeared. We walked together back into the house and I thought I would at least have to ask, but as soon as the door closed Flutters leapt onto me wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist immediately making out with me. Yeah, I loved her.
