Scootlaoo takes a step towards me, not paying attention to her hooves. She takes a step forward and trips over a bit of one of her socks that's started to slide off of her front left leg. She lands straight on her face with a small thud. She looks up at me with a look of embarassment.

"I-I...." She mumbles as she shivers.

"It's okay. We all trip over at some point." I say with a smile.

She smiles back at me before standing back up.

"I really like your shirt. It's really warm and soft." Scootaloo says with a giggle.

"I'm glad you like it. Don't expect to get any more shirts from me though, I only had one." I say with a chuckle as I start to walk towards Scootaloo.

I then kneel down and pet her on the head. She blushes and giggles.

"What did you want to do for the remainder of today?" I ask.

"I kinda just wanna.... cuddle... If that's okay?" She answers with a blush.

"Sure." I say as I ruffle her hair.

She smiles back up at me and holds out her front left leg. I grab the cuff of her sock and pull the sock back on for her. She giggles then smiles at me.

"Follow me!" Scootaloo shouts in excitement.

She then runs towards the stairs. I jog behind her, trying to keep pace. She stops at the door to the left of the corridor at the top of the stairs.

"In here." She smiles.

I nod my head as she opens the door. The room is still blocked off by a colapsed roof.

"What are we doing here?" I ask.

"This is my bedroom.... My Mom used to cuddle me when I was sad in here. I just.... I wanted to be cuddled here.... Even if it's the last time. I'm sorry for being selfish, but it's just.... Just something I want to feel one last time." She explains.

"I understand." I reply with a nod.

She walks into the room, making her way through the gaps in the rubble with ease. I follow shortly behind having to crawl through the rubble, the odd bit of wood giving me a small splinter. I exit the rubble and take a second to check my surroundings.

The room must have been purple at some point as there are small bits of purple wallpaper on the walls still. The floor must not have been carpeted and had just been wood since no remains of a carpet can be seen. The roof, what's left of it, used to be a plain white before it collapsed based on the white wood behind me in the pile of rubble. At the back of the room stands a solitary bed. Dirty, orange painted wood holds a dusty matress on top of it. A dusty, purple blanket rests beneath a single dusty orange pillow. I walk towards the bed and pick up the pillow.

"Do you mind if I get the dust off of the blanket and pillow first? I think cuddling near this much dust is bad." I ask as I hold the pillow in my hands.

"Sure. Like you said, it could be bad for us." Scootaloo answers with a nod.

I start to pat the pillow causing dust to rise from the pillow and into the air, causing me and Scootaloo to let out a cough each.

"Well done *cough* you celestia damn idiot! You *cough* stupid, stupid freak!" Scootaloo growls through coughs.

I look at the pillow and then back to Scootaloo. A tightness builds in my throat. I look back at the pillow before putting back onto the bed.

"I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean it!" Scootaloo coughs out in a panic.

"I-It's okay. I mean.... You did warn me.... It's not like you can control it either so.... It's okay." I mumble.

"I... I didn't mean to upset you Daniel, honest! I-I can't control myself." Scootaloo murmurs the last part.

"I already said it's okay. Let me just get rid of the dust on the blanket then we can cuddle okay?" I ask with a smile.

Scootaloo looks at me and nods her head.

I pick up the blankets by the top corners.

"Cover your mouth so you don't cough." I say with a nod.

Scootaloo puts a sock covered hoof over her mouth and nods at me.

'She looks absolutely adorable in that outfit.' I think to myself as I start to shake the blanket.

The dust from the blanket rises into the air, and slowly fall to the ground like small bits of grey snow. I look at Scootaloo and see her still covering her mouth, she's fairing better then before since she isn't coughing anymore. I cough a few times before pulling the blanket back enough for the two of us to fit in. I look at Scootaloo and nod towards the bed.

She moves her hoof away from her mouth and walks towards the bed. She climbs in and squeezes against the wall, leaving enough room for me to fit in. I slide in next to her and lay on my back. Scootaloo then rolls on top of me and rests her hindlegs between my legs and wraps her forelegs around my stomach. She then places her head under my jaw with her nose pressed against my neck. I wrap my arms around her as well as we cuddle in her small bed.

"Am I comfy?" I ask with a grin.

"Yeah. I really like it." Scootaloo answers with a yawn.

"Tired already?" I ask with a chuckle.

She nods her head as she buries face into my neck. Her warm breath washes across my neck as she lightly breathes. I can't help but gently pet her head as she slowly falls asleep on top of me. After a few seconds her breathing becomes more relaxed as she falls asleep.

'She really is the cutest thing ever.' I think to myself as I let myself slowly follow her into a light sleep.
