The Spadashy Family Season 1:Behind it All

       Twilight lay next to the cyan mare who was reading volume three of the new Daring Do series. Twilight just relaxed, taking a few looks at the novel before her. She felt like something was missing. Dash looked over to her, marking her place in the book.

"Uh, you okay, Twi?" Rainbow asked. The alicorn snapped her head around.

"No, I'm not okay! I can just.... feel it!" she said, every bone in her body seemed to shake. Rainbow lay a hoof on her shoulder and snickered.

"Ah, please, Twi! Only Pinkie can-" Rainbow was cut off by Twilight who broke a grin on her face.

"Rainbow, you're a genius!" Twilight said, flying out of the bedroom, leaving Rainbow Dash dumbfounded.

"I am?"

       Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow, and Scootaloo trotted towards Town Square, then stopped at Sugar Cube Corner; a place they haven't been in an entire year. Rainbow shoved open the door, excitedly galloping towards the pink mare resting on the counter.

"PINKIE!" Rainbow yelled, charging into Pinkie Pie. She grasped her by the lower part of her wing bone, hugging her tightly, spinning around.

"DASHIE! OMIGOSH OMIGOSH!!! I'm gonna throw a "RAINBOW DASH IS BACK" Party!" The from nowhere, Pinkie blasted her party canon, streamers flying through the whole bakery. Pinkie saw the other three ponies smiling at her, then Pinkie gasped, her mouth wider than possible.

     Rainbow rubbed her acing back, her wings sore from the hug, too. Twilight giggled a bit, and Fluttershy caught on. Scootaloo yawned, then watched as Carousel Boutique seemed to get closer by each step, which it did. She wondered if Sweetie Belle would be mad for leaving her and the rest of the Crusaders for such a long time.

       Twilight rang the bronze-encrusted doorbell, as a white unicorn with a lush, purple mane stepped out, surprised. Her jaw dropped awkwardly, as she rubbed her head.

"I-is this what I think it is..... or is my beautiful imagination going haywire...." Rarity thought out loud, her jaw still hanging.

      The unicorn, threw herself to the floor, the screamed a deafening cry. Clearly, she was unconscious, so Rainbow knocked her in the head with a rock. Rarity's eyes, seemed to shuffle, then stayed steady as her jaw returned to normal. She dusted off her hooves, then stood up strait.

      "*Ahem* My apologize, it's just that... WHERE IN EQUESTRIA WERE YOU?!" Rarity hollered, waving her hooves frantically, tears leaving her eyes. She ran inside, slamming the door in the ponies faces. Scootaloo noticed that the door wasn't locked, so she snuck inside.

   The sound of Rarity crying in the bedroom resulted in a fast, heavy hoof-step sound coming from a filly.

"What's........ Rarity?"

"It's fine my........ just ......return..... and Scootaloo......just ......."

"Wait.... SCOOTALOO?!" A high pitched voice screamed. Stomping came from the stairs as they grew louder and louder, revealing a white unicorn filly with pink and purple hair, curled over her horn. Her cutie mark was a shield of a star and a eighth note.

"SCOOTALOO? You w-were gone for sooo many years..."

"Um, like thirteen months, actua-" Scootaloo stopped as she was tightly hugged by the filly. Sweetie Belle. So long since her name was thought of, and much longer since Scootaloo had seen her. Another hug tightly wrapped around Scootaloo.

    Twilight sighed sadly, then brightened up as she remembered somepony.

"Apple Jack! Thank Celestia, she'd never let us down." Twilight stated as she breathed in slowly. The farm door seemed to look at her teasingly as Twilight's hoof seemed to hesitate on it's own. It reached the door, as she knocked, then a crashing sound erupted from inside the barn.

"J-just a second!" The voice called out. Twilight started sweating, then she silently prayed for AJ to have a heart. A few seconds later, a bruised, reddened farm pony opened the door. She gasped audibly, as she stared at the ponies before her.

"W-Wha? Ah thought y'all were done gone! Yer back?" she asked with her accent as usual. The four nodded silently, then Scootaloo's stomach grumbled. Apple laughed a bit.

"Mind if ah get ya somethin' ta eat? Granny just cooked us up some stew," Apple Jack looked over to the drooling Rainbow mare, who was wetting the grass with her saliva. Apple winced, then welcomed them in.

       Scootaloo and Apple Bloom sat at the table, sharing somethings that happened while they were apart. Apple Bloom finished her stew and brought Scootaloo upstairs to her bedroom.

    "On yer birthday, ah made this with Sweetie. We didn't find out that ya left with your family until a few moths ago. So ah saved up to buy a stamp and box to mail it to the royal guards, so they'd give it to Twilight, then you. Hehe... didn't really work out right, but I sure am mighty glad yer back!" Apple Bloom said, hugging Scootaloo, who rolled her eyes.

      That night, the four had touched the edge of Ponyville, and sat by the lake to rethink their day. Earlier, they had a Pep-talk with Rarity, who lightened up, and the Mane Six and the Crusaders went out for dessert at Donut Joe's, since Apple had already given them dinner.

     "What should we do tomorrow? Meet Humans? Maybe mine for diamonds? How about climbing White Tail Mountain?" Scootaloo suggested sarcastically, as she sat on Fluttershy's bed. She giggled and tucked Scootaloo into her bed. Fluttershy turned to Twilight who had her muzzle in a book again.

"Twilight, time for bed!" Fluttershy said, as Twilight jolted up. She slammed the novel close then smiled.

"Oh, uh, right. Well, good night, girls," Twilight said, flicking off the lights.
