The beating

Author's Note

Mild disclaimer in this world Scootaloo's parents aren't... Well present. And before you ask why i'll say that it will come up later.

The beating

You are anonymous and you are currently cussing out Celestia stupid sun. You had woken up around twenty minutes ago and were already mad. YOU hadn't woken up on your own. No Celestia (Being the fat asshole she was) Decided to wake you up with the sun directly in your fucking eyes! You could be heard from down the corridor of your large home. You have been in this world of pastel-colored weirdos for almost seven years now.

But in that time you have learned the number one secret to your success. Hands are so much better than hooves.

Yes, you are a human. Living in a world of flying, Kicking, Magic using ponies. You heard right ponies. They came in all shapes and sizes. Big, small, Short tall, longhorns, short horns, tiny wings, big wings, and everything I don't care enough about to mention. But with the powers of fingers, you struck gold in Equestria. You see magic is amazing but knowledge is much better. Before you came here your father was an inventor. You made the first phone in Equestria by copying what he had taught you.

You had given three fillies known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders each there own with their cutie marks on them. These three fillies had always helped you out and you had grown a bond to your ponies. Not anything romantic of course you were around twenty-three while the girls were around fifteen. You liked all of them but secretly you prefer Scootaloo over the others. She reminds you a lot of yourself and your best friend Rainbow dash. She could fly fairly well and had decent sized wings. She had an orange coat and purple mane and tail.

She said you were like family to her. Because you, her, and Rainbow would hang out a lot. But enough about tiny ponies with wings you were hungry. No, you were HANGRY. You were never in a good mood in the mornings and your maid knew it. So she would avoid you in the mornings. You and her were pretty close her name was Shimmering star. She had been like a mother, to be honest.

It wasn't uncommon for you and Rainbow to get hammered. But every time you did Star would help you. She always cleaned and did an amazing job. She once told you 'If you do a half-ass job it's just as bad as not doing it at all.' She had told you a little about her mom and from what you could gather the two weren't very close. She had been very strict on her young daughter from a young age.

You decide to stop thinking and get dressed. You put on a normal white shirt, blue jeans, and plain red hoodie then head to sugar cube corner. You loved the food there and the chef never failed to put a smile on your face. You started thinking about the two of you. You and Pinkie pie had always been friends. Heck, If Dash ever stopped being your bro Pinkie a big second. You were snatched back to reality by the sound of pain.

You look around to see two stallions huddled around somepony. You knew there was crime in Ponyville but it was always surprising to see it. You start to walk towards them when you see a small orange figure. 'Ok now they fucked up' You think as you break out into a full-on sprint. You rush up to them and grab the bigger stallions hoof before it comes down on the small figure of Scootaloo. You can see she's not concise and has bruises and bumps all over her body.

"Your messing with the wrong ponies monkey boy. This street urchin brought his on herself." The stallion whos hoof your holding says as he tries to punch you in the gut. You quickly bloke it and bring a hard knee into his gut. You swear you can hear the crack of one of his ribs. He gasps in pain and doubles over in pain as you bring a fist coming down right into his muzzle. You then repeatedly bring your knee into his jaw as he screams. You manage to hit him about four times before his buddy hits you in the back.

You turn back to the stallion and smile your best shit-eating grin you can make before kicking your feet out from under him. As he falls you bring your foot stomping down onto his chest. You gather your breath and start to speak bringing your foot down harder on his chest with each word.

"If you ever,

Harder

“And I mean ever,

Harder

“Mess with Scootaloo,

Harder

“Again,

You bring your voice down to a whisper only he can hear,

I will personally escort you to Tartarus."

After you finish talking you bring your foot down on his face knocking him out cold. You waste no time in turning around and picking up Scootaloo. You grab her and start running. What should take a ten-minute run ends up only being five? You see the hospital and barge into the building. "Somepony help!," You scream as you enter through the door. Two nurses rush and grab Scootaloo. You run with them as they lay the small filly on a bed.

They rush her into a small room and start talking. You can't pay attention as your only focus is of the small filly in front of you. Eventually, a doctor tells you to wait outside in the waiting room. You slowly make your way to the waiting room. You start to make your way towards the phone on the desk before a lady stop's you."What do you think you're doing? That phone is for staff use only." The mare says. You chuckle a little and turn around.

"And who do you think made the phone?"You say as you look down at her.

"Why Anonymous. Who else?" She sarcastically replies.

"Who do you think I am." You say with a smirk.

The mare looks at you and begins to open her mouth before realizing what you mean and apologizing. You tell her it's ok and start to dial the one pony you know who cares for Scootaloo as much as you. The phone rings a couple of times before a raspy tomboyish voice answers. "Hello this is Rainbow Dash," She says. You begin to explain t her what happened and tell her to get to the hospital quick.

After you get off the phone you are greeted by a doctor.

"Hello, Mister Anonymous. We understand you brought miss Scootaloo here."

"Yes, sir. How is she? Anything serious?"

"Well she doesn't have anything serious but we do have to perform a surgery on her knee joint. It is entirely optional though."

"Yes, sir perform the surgery."

"Ok before we do Mr. Anonymous she would like to speak to you."

"Of course."

By the time your talk ends Rainbow has arrived and is standing beside you. You walk into her room to see her lying on the bed crying a little. You walk up to her and start petting her mane before she jumps into your chest. You only sit there holding her and telling her things like ' It's alright' and 'They're never going to hurt you again'. Eventually, she calms down and looks up at you. The sight almost kills you with cuteness.

"Why? Why did you help me?" She suddenly asks catching you off guard.

"Well I care about you and I don't let those I care about get hurt." You say confidently. The young mare looks surprised as if no one has ever told her they care about her.

"Y-you care about m-me?" She says as she starts to tear up a little. You gently pull her closer.

"Of course I do! And I have somepony else here who cares about you." You say about to pull back. But as you pull back she won't let go. Then she sees rainbow dash and her eyes grow wide for a moment.

"Hey, squirt. Didn't think I would forget about you, did you?" She says.

Rainbow and Scootaloo start to talk and the three of you have a good time. Of course, you're the one who makes all the corny jokes. But they never fail to make them laugh. After about an hour the doctor pulls you aside. He starts to explain to you that the surgery isn't that cheap. You tell him that you were willing to spend all of your fortune to keep your small companion healthy. The total came to around one thousand two hundred fifty bits.

You come back into the room and explain the situation to the two of them. Scootaloo's heart sank at the price of how much this was going to cost. You tell her that you were going to pay for it. The two of you argue for a couple of minutes before you put an end to it and walk out of the room. You were hungry as a bitch. So was everyone else. So you order pizza. You also order some cupcakes from sugar cube corner. After you were all stuffed you start to leave before you feel a small hoof grab you.

"Will you stay with me Anon. Just so I won't be alone." She says giving you the puppy dog eyes. And try as you might you couldn't escape the eyes.

"Of course I will Scoots." You say sitting down in a chair next to you.

After about an hour and a half, she falls asleep still hugging your arm. As you begin to lose your fight to sleep you can't help but wonder. Where were Scootaloo's parents in all of this? Why had that stallion called her a street urchin? Why had her heart sank when you mentioned the price. And the last thing you notice before you fall asleep is how skinny Scootaloo was for her age.

CAKE

When you wake up in the morning you had only one thing on your mind. Fucking coffee. You are a major addict to the strong brown liquid you had grown fond for over the years. After getting your lazy ass out of bed and dragging yourself to the kitchen you finally had it. The key to happiness.

As you take a long slow sip of the drink drunk by the pony gods of mount Cantorlot you realize something. You had to get back to Scootaloo. Today was the day she was being released from the local ponyvile hospital. It had been roughly 3-4 months after the incident. That was only because the doctors had found out that the young mare also had internal bleeding.

You were livid pissed that they had not found out sooner that you poor orange was damaged. You were so mad that Rainbow had to drag you out of there before you hurt one of the doctors. Later when you apologized for causing a scene everyone forgave you. But that was a couple of months ago. Seeing as you were lost in thought you bumped into the wall of sugar cube corner.

After beating that walls ass(What a dick)you went into the sweet shop hoping to grab Scoot’s, favorite sweet. It was called Celestia’s hair. When you saw it you almost burst out laughing because of the way this sweet looked. It was exactly like princess ‘Fuck you it’s morning’s hair. You had tried it once and thought that while it tasted good it wasn't exactly your taste of sweet.

After grabbing about a dozen of those you head over to the hospital with a secret package under your wing. As you walked into the office everyone stopped to look at you. Nurse red heart said a small good morning before taking you down the hall. “How have you been Mister Anonymous?’’ She said the caring tone not leaving her voice as she turned the corner.

“Well pretty good beside’s having to fight this wall. The guy looked straight at me and didn’t move!” You said as you gave a menacing look at the wall followed by whispering that you were watching them. Soon you heard the laughter faded from the Nurses voice. Tear’s rolling down her cheeks as she continued to walk forward.

You give her a confused look before walking a little farther out than her. You stop the small white mare with a hand on her shoulder and she turns to look at you. Her eyes are red and puffy and it’s obvious this isn’t the first time she’s cried today. You pull her into a hug without saying anything as she returns your hug. She sits and cries in your arms.

After a couple of minutes, she pulls away and lightly chuckles. You return her smile and sit back up. She looks at you and begins’s “ When I first came to this hospital I met a young filly named Dimond brush. She was an amazing pony who never failed to brighten my spirits. She had lost her parents to a mugging and was put up for adoption. She ran away from the orphanage and lived on the streets and always got into trouble. But she would alway’s come back. One day she said that I was like a mother to her. After awhile I was going to adopt her. I showed up one morning with the papers and a gift. But when I saw the name of lost to injury I broke down. We didn’t normally have one of those so when I saw her name on it I cried. But it went away. But when I got to know Scootaloo she just reminded me so much of her. But it still hurts so much after all this time.”

You look at her and nod in understanding. “When I was in my world I had a sister. I never meet such a sweet girl in my life. She was always so full of happiness and love that could make Maud smile. But she got something called cancer. She was so peaceful when she died. She would laugh and tell us it took a lot more than that to beat her. And in the end… she smiled. She told us not to be sad and to live life for the both of us. She gave me a hug and slipped away. The point of that is that she loved us and wanted us to be happy. The thing about death is it’s not the end, but a new beginning for those willing to take it. Scootaloo reminds me of her a lot but that makes me love her that much more.”

When you finished you had tears running down your face but a smile on your lips.

“How do you get over it. Does the pain ever go away,” Redheart asks you?

“No it alway’s hurt’s, but you learn to live with the pain and learn from it.” You say as you wipe your eyes and you wipe hers. You both laugh a little and get up.

“She’s lucky to have you Anon,” Redheart says.

You look at her and say I know as you both walk away. As you walk in the room you see the orange filly is still asleep. Damn, how does this ball of fluff stay asleep for so long you think to yourself as you walk closer to her? Snickering to yourself you slowly walk towards Rainbow dash while motioning red heart to keep quiet.

You put a hand over Rainbows mouth and shake her awake. She wakes up and you lean closer to her. You tell her your plan and she starts nodding her head. You hand her a cupcake and take one for your self. You both slowly walk over to the sleeping ball of orange fluff. You stop at her bed and motion to Rainbow.

“SURPRISE” You both yell as you slam the cakes on her face. She wakes with a start and looks at you and Rainbow then at your hands then at redheart who is laughing her ass off. Then she licks some of the frosting and nods her head.

“Not bad,” She says while you and rainbow start rolling on the floor with laughter. You only realize she is standing over you when it’s too late. She grabs you and pulls you into a hug. ‘Damn it this my favorite shirt’ You think as the purple frosting is smeared on your shirt. You smirk and grab rainbow dash and a nurse redheart. You are all laughing until Rainbow ask's a question that makes Scott's stop in her tracks...

You both look over at the ball of blue fur that is Rainbow and get a smirk as sinister as the grinches. You pick up your cute little frosting torpedo and take aim. Before the ''fastest pony in Equestria'' can react you launch the torpedo and it makes contact with its target and covers her in the Celestia icing. For all, you know she could be her tail. You continue laughing before, because fuck everything, you slip and fall directly on top of Rainbow...
