The Spadashy Family Season 1:Behind it All

           School was back in session, since it was now Monday. Twilight sent the filly off to the school bus, across the street. Scootaloo trotted, seeing Diamond Tiara, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Pipsqueak and Silver Spoon. Scootaloo headed over, as a pink filly took her spot.

"Oh, sorry, is this your spot?" she asked. Scootaloo smiled a bit, rolling her eyes.

"It's fine, Screwy." Scootaloo replied to Screwball. Her eyes were swirls and she wore a bowler hat. She parents used to be Fluttershy and Discord, but she started living on her own, since her magic was too strong. Diamond stuck her hoof in Scoot's side. She gave a look, then motioned her to come.

"Don't tell anypony, but you girls are invited to a private pool party," Diamond whispered. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle smiled, then turned to the upcoming bus. Steam puffed out, and the doors slowly opened, as the fillies went inside.

      A few other fillies were already on there. Golden Chain, a white pegasus filly with yellow hair, and Crossed Vine, a colt with brown fur and a green mane, much like a tree. Arrow Tale had pink fur, with her hooves a faded baby blue. Her mane was black and hot pink, and her cutie mark was a bow and arrow. Ms. Cherrilee  sat on the front seat, behind the bus driver, and the bus puffed off, down the road.

    Recess came, and fillies shoved each other just to get to the door. Screwball played tag with Golden Chain, and Arrow Tale played Four Square with other fillies. Suddenly, Ms. Cherilee blew her whistle, a huge grin on her face.

"Okay, class. Our new student is here! Meet Night Shine!" Cherilee announced, a dark blue unicorn stepping out, a flashy smile on her face. Her mane was pink, and  her book bag was most fashionable then any in the class, even more than Diamond Tiara's.

    "Play nice, fillies, okay?" she asked her class. They responded with a roar of approval. Night Shine trotted towards the basket ball court, then snickered. Apple Bloom run in front of her, then smiled.

"Howdy! Mah name's Apple Bloom! Ah lover yer mane, it's mighty neat!"  she said, shaking Night's hoof.

     Night Shine, yanked her hoof away, then stared at the farm filly, looking disgusted.

"Ugh! What is that smell?" Night said, covering her muzzle. Apple Bloom giggled then shook her hoof again.

"That, mah friend, is the smell of....... wet. dog. Oh, and of course fish! Ah washed mah sister's dog this morning! Smell nice?" Apple asked smiling wider. Night just snickered again.

   "Uh huh, cool. Now, what the hay is wrong with your voice? Eat too many pigs lately?" Night teased, seeing Apple's ears drop.

"We don't eat pig! We take care of 'em and give the love! Where did you grow up, Madam Ego?" The yellow filly snapped back. Night Shine, lit her horn, grasping Apple Bloom in her aurora. She slammed her against the playground fence, growling.

"How dare you talk to me like that! Hmp! So much for 'love', FARM HORSE!" Night let go of her magic, sending Apple Bloom crashing into a trash can below her. She crossed her hooves, then crawled out, the other two Crusaders running over to help.

     Math class started, and Night got the seat next to Sweetie Belle. She took an index card, then folded it into a paper plane, throwing it to the unicorn filly next to her. Sweetie opened it, gasping at it.

        Pay attention, you horned looser.

It read. Sweetie got up, then threw it in the trash, then back to her seat. She listened to the part about PEMDAS, then why they are used, but she started daydreaming.

    The crowd cheered and whistled, begging for an encore. Flowers and roses were tossed upon the stage as Sweetie Belle herself, picked up the microphone and started her song once more. Her voice rang through the stadium and the lights flashed on her. Ponies of all kind cheered and whistled, as the end of the song neared. She didn't even have to try. The words just came naturally. This was her talent, and that's the meaning of her cutie mark. Her voice! The song died down and the crowd erupted like a heavy ocean wave. Voices once again cheered, and flowers flew, and one voice louder than the rest said:

"Wake up, you space head!"

    Sweetie's eyes fluttered, then she looked at Night Shine, who stuck her tongue out at her. Sweetie raised her hoof.

"Miss Cherilee, may I go home now?" Sweetie asked, the whole class staring at her. Cherilee tilted her head.

"What ever for? I always thought you loved class!"

"Yeah, but I'm having some 'student issues' right now,"

   Sweetie was told to skip Math for the day to cool down. Sweetie had told her teacher what Night did, but Night just faked and gave an innocent look, and Cherilee understood that somepony had bothered Sweetie, but didn't know who.

   After class, Scootaloo, Pipsqueak, Screwball, and Sweetie Belle had a parents conference signed up for them. Sweetie Belle's mom and sister Rarity came for her. She tried explaining to her parents, Rarity, and her teacher what Night Shine did, but it was no use. At all. Scootaloo waited for her turn, and then stared at Twilight and Fluttershy near her.

"Scoots, we're gonna fetch some water and get the papers we left at home, okay?" Fluttershy said, nuzzling Scootaloo's cheek. She smiled, then waved. Something wet tickled the filly's neck. Turning around, she saw Night Shine with a mouthful of water in her mouth, cheeks puffed out. She spit the water onto Scootaloo's neck again.

    Scootaloo screamed silently, then covered her muzzled with a hoof. Giggling came behind her then Scootaloo decided to find an excuse to hide until Twilight and Fluttershy returned.

"Excuse me, Ms. Cherilee, but can I go the the restroom?" Scootaloo asked, getting a nod from her teacher. Scootaloo fist pumped, then as she got up, a voice came behind her.

    "Um, may I go, too? I'll make sure Scootaloo is okay." Night then got permission to follow Scootaloo, but little did the filly know this was going to be the worst afternoon in her life.

      In her aurora, Night picked up Scootaloo, locking all doors. She smirked and slammed Scootaloo against one of the bathroom mirrors. A crack formed in it, and a piece got stuck in her wing. She winced in pain, tears filling her eyes. Night laughed.

"Aww, does the widdle filly want their momma?" Night teased. In rage Scootaloo smacked Night hard in the face, her magic died down.

    Her head hit a loose bathroom tile, then she levitate Scootaloo, taking the head band off her head, using it to hold Scootaloo's neck against the mirror. Night stuck her horn in Scootaloo's stomach area, then she cried out in pain, but nopony heard since all doors were locked. Night Shine punched her as if she had some kind of iron fist, then Scootaloo knocked out.

     Scootaloo awoke on the floor, her whole body bruised, some wing feathers out of place. Night stood before her, grinning like an evil villain. Scootaloo stayed down, leaning on her own hooves, the other hoof shielding her face.

      "Ha, what a chicken! A dumb, wimpy, CHICKEN! My baby cousin is braver than you." Night said, rubbing her hooves. Scootaloo tried holding back tears. Night laughed hard and loud, holding her stomach , kicking her hindlegs in the air frantically. Scootaloo crawled out, unlocking door number one, then opened the second. Before entering the classroom again, the hollered, "LOOSER!"

Scootaloo then made a run for it, dashing down the short five-yard hallway to the only classroom in the Ponyville Schoolhouse. She tumbled onto the carpet, making for her checkpoint at the teacher's desk where Twilight and Fluttershy sat. They turned around, shocked.

"Oh my Celestia! Scootaloo, are you alright? What happened?" Twilight asked, hugging the crying filly. Fluttershy hugged, too, then turning her glance to a dark blue filly leaving where Scootaloo came from.

"Oh, are you alright? Are you hurt, too?" Fluttershy asked. Night put on a show by whimpering, her tail and head hanging like a homeless dog. Scootaloo caught a flashy smile from Night, which made rage build up in her.

"Oh, dear! Did you see what happened in there? I-It was.... HORRIBLE! Luckily, I saved Scootaloo's life!" Night lied. That was it for Scootaloo. She jumped out of Twilight and Fluttershy's grasp, the pounced on Night.

"HOW DARE YOU LIE! HOW DARE YOU, I'D SEND YOU TO TARTARUS IF I COULD!" Scootaloo yelled, the whole room gasping.

"That's my daughter!" A stallion said from the back of the room. He slapped Scootaloo, then Scootaloo's eyes got teary again. Scootaloo's mind said "No, no... don't let it stop you..." and her heart said "Stand up for yourself! This is your chance!".

   "No." Scootaloo said, standing strait. Cherilee gasped and the other ponies did, too. The orange filly growled at Night who was on the floor behind her. Night Shine rolled her eyes, whispering something. Scootaloo stomped a hind-leg on her tail, making her wince.

"Twilight, you have that memory spell, don't you?" Scootaloo asked, feeling Night Shine's blood go cold. She tried using her magic to lift Scootaloo's hoof off her tail, but it was down too firmly.

"Oh, Scootaloo, you're a genius! Of course, I memorized it, even!" she stated, smiling. Her hoof lay on Scootaloo's head, as her eyes turned a glowing white, and a purple orb surrounded the filly. In a flash of light, everything Scootaloo saw was visible to everypony. Night's parents growled, then slapped the filly on the hoof.

"See what happens once you get home, young mare."
