Calling A Certain Pegasus, and a Cute-Ciñera For A Not-Flightless-Anymore Filly

“What… what… how…” Diamond Tiara couldn’t speak. “What in Equestria?” She tried lifting off for the fun of it, but she crashed to the ground. Now she knew how Scootaloo felt. Diamond Tiara felt a little bit of guilt, but shrugged it off. Scootaloo couldn’t fly, neither could she. But unlike Scootaloo, she was going to learn- and do it.

Making sure to hide her new wings under a dress she had asked demanded Rarity to make her, she ran off towards the CMC Clubhouse, which was kind of underneath Cloudsdale. Hopefully, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were off trying to earn their cutie marks. Diamond Tiara put her ear to the clubhouse door. No such luck.

“So, what should we do to earn our cutie marks today, girls?” asked the unmistakable voice of Apple Bloom. Diamond Tiara groaned inwardly.

“Um… I don’t know, I was thinking we could help Fluttershy.” said Sweetie Belle’s voice.

“I thought we already did that, Sweetie Belle!” Scootaloo’s voice said, annoyed.

“We had a sleepover at Fluttershy’s and tried to earn our cutie marks in being carpenters, chicken rescuers, arguers, and… um…” Sweetie Belle trailed off.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. We have the day off anyway!” Scootaloo said. This was interesting. Diamond Tiara leaned in to hear more.

“Cause look!” There was a rubbing sound, then 2 surprised filly gasps. “I put flank paint on so you guys could be surprised! I’m having my cute-ciñera today in 2 hours!” The Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped, as did Diamond Tiara. Scootaloo got her cutie mark?

“Come on!” Scootaloo yelled, and there was the sound of hoofsteps toward the door. Diamond Tiara leaped out of the way, but it was too late. Scootaloo pushed open the door, and the two fillies stared at eachother, with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle staring as well.

“So… what are you doing here?” Scootaloo asked, breaking the silence. “You have your cutie mark, and you’d probably sooner laugh at us then come to one of our meetings.”

“I just…” How could Diamond Tiara explain it? Then she saw Scootaloo’s new cutie mark. It was a scooter with lightning bolts in the wheels and on the back. “...wanted to see your new cutie mark!” she finished.

Scootaloo stared at her. Then she smiled confidently. “Yeah, isn’t it cool? I’ve been scootering my whole life. But it turns out that scootering plus flying for real is my special talent!”

Diamond Tiara cocked her head. “But… you can’t fly.”

Apple Bloom laughed. “Obviously you haven’t heard! Twilight cast a spell to make Scootaloo be able to fly… and she did! She got her cutie mark, and her cute-ciñera is today!”

“You can come if you want,” Scootaloo said. “Just don’t make fun of my friends like you did at your cute-ciñera. I know where you live…” She ended her question with squinty-eyes at Diamond Tiara, who started sweating.

“Please don’t stalk me, Scootaloo,” Diamond Tiara said, which made Scootaloo start laughing.

“I’m not a stalker!” she said, laughing. “It was just a threat. I’m not going to show up at your house one day and say that I’m here to kill you. I swear, that’s not going to happen. See ya at Sugarcube Corner!” And with that, Scootaloo flew off.

Diamond Tiara exhaled. The 3 fillies hadn’t even noticed her wings. She took a deep breath, and called out, “RAINBOW DASH!!!”

“We had a sleepover at Fluttershy’s and tried to earn our cutie marks in being carpenters, chicken rescuers, arguers, and… um…” Sweetie Belle trailed off.

Ok, I honestly forgot what else they were trying to earn their cutie marks in here.

Oops :)

Sorry for the long chapter title
