Scootaloo's Secret
Getting Ready To Meet Rainbow Dash
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"I want to tell her Daniel. I want her to be proud of me." Scootaloo mumbles.
"Are you talking about Rainbow Dash?"
"Yeah, ever since my parents.... Went.... She become like family to me. I want her to be proud of me Daniel. Do you think she'll be proud of me?" Scootaloo asks with a nervous sigh.
"Like you said Scootaloo, it doesn't matter what the others think, only what we think." I point out.
"Yeah, you're right." Scootaloo says with a happy smirk.
"Do you want to tell her now or do you want to wait?" I ask.
"Yeah, I want to tell her as soon as possible." Scootaloo answers nervously.
"Remember Scootaloo, It only matters what WE think." I remind her.
She climbs off of me and off of the bed, she then looks at me and smiles.
"Yeah, what we think." Scootaloo says happily.
I stand up off of the bed and stretch, loosening my limbs.
"It's funny to think that out of all of the creatures I could've fallen for it would be a monkey." Scootaloo thinks out loud with a chuckle.
"It is odd isn't it?" I chuckle.
"Oh, I didn't mean to say that. You not being a pony doesn't matter to me." Scootaloo panics.
"Scootaloo, I know it doesn't, otherwise you wouldn't have kissed me." I assure her.
Scootaloo nods her head and starts to head out of the room. I follow shortly after. We both exited the house in silence, though uncommon it wasn't unexpected. We where both going to tell Rainbow Dash that we're now a couple. I may not have met her but it means so much to Scootaloo that it's like meeting her mother. We both leave the house through the front door. As we both stand out in the chilly air we can't help but to take a glance at eachother. That small moment that we looked at eachother, we both saw into eachothers eyes, eachothers worries and hopes layed themselves out in just a glance. All of the worry that Scootaloo had buried was just beneath the surface, so close to the rearing it's head that just looking into her eyes gave me a look into that worry, the worry that caused her to shake, not the cold that was blown across her furred body.
"Are you sure you're ready for this? We don't have to if you want to hold off on doing it."
"Yes Daniel, I'm sure." Scootaloo answers with a sigh.
That sigh lingered in the air, the only sound that remained after we finished our conversation. I could still hear it for a few moments after we finished talking, like an echo it replayed in my ear. I knew she was worried but I didn't know that she was this worried. No matter what happened I knew I'd still have feelings for her, she was my special somepony and I wanted it to stay that way.
I nod my head and we start our journey, I don't know where we're going but I trust Scootaloo, I trust her enough to blindly follow her. I know I shouldn't trust someone this much but my heart keeps telling my head that it's okay, that for once my heart knew better and that I should trust it. I make my decision and decide to follow my heart. Scootaloo is the most important thing to me right now and I think she feels the same way. I look down at the ground and prepare myself for meeting Rainbow Dash.
"It's not safe to look at the ground while walking." Scootaloo's voice jokes.
"Sorry, I'm just a bit, anx, anx.... nervous about this all. The last time I met a pony it went terribly, I just don't want to be taken away again. The only thing I'm worried about really is what if they take me somewhere so far away that I can't get back? What if Rainbow Dash calls the ponies that took me away last time and they put me in a prison cell and never let me out?" I explain.
"If that ever happened Daniel I'd find you, I'd find you and bring you back. Back to me." Scootaloo answers with a loving smile.
I smile back at Scootaloo and look back up. House after house after house, they all look similar if not the same. The only buildings with any real difference to them are the shops and businesses. Buildings ranging from bland wooden houses to a bright, colourful, carnival tent like building, even a tree hollowed out into a library. In the middle of the street ahead of us is a group of ponies all talking to eachother. As I get closer to the group they turn towards me and start to slowly edge themselves to the side of the street. I can't help but feel a little, down. I may not be a pony but I'm no monster.
"What is it?"
"I don't know but look at it's claws."
"I didn't even see it's claws."
"Is that Scootaloo next to it?"
"It is, should we get her away from it?
"I'm not going anywhere near it."
The conversation continues as I pass them. I can see Scootaloo get visibly angry at the ponies as they talk about me.
"It's okay Scootaloo, I don't care what they think. As long as you're with me then I'll always be okay." I assure her.
"I don't want them to talk about you like that Daniel. Somepony as amazing as you doesn't deserve it." Scootaloo sighs.
"I also don't deserve you, you're too good for me but I still have you, no matter what happens Scootaloo as long as you're with me everything will be okay." I explain.
Scootaloo looks at me with a smile.
We both continue our silent journey, towards Rainbow Dash. The number of houses starts to thin out and a field starts to come into view. A large green field with a few trees dotted on it. Clouds silently hang over the field creating small patches of cool areas of shade. The cold areas of shade didn't seem needed with the cold breeze that blows across my body every few seconds.
"Are you ready Daniel? I'm going to call for Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo asks.
"Yeah. I'm as ready as I'm going to be." I answer.

Scootaloo and Daniel are getting ready to meet Rainbow Dash, the closest thing to a family member that Scootaloo has. Will it go well or will the ponies prejudice towards creatures they don't know ruin it?
