It was a cold, stormy night on the streets of Ponyville, a peaceful, friendly town. There was no one around except a mysterious pony with a black cloak and a hood that covered her face, and with it carried a small basket in her mouth. She approached the Ponyville Orphanage and set the basket in the door. The young pony opened the basket and inside it was a small pegasus filly. Her skin was orange, her mane was purple-pink, and her wings were tiny. The filly opened her eyes revealing that they were a bright purple. The young pony smiled sadly as she took the foal carefully from the basket, and hugged her.
"I'm sorry, I really wanted to be there for you ...... But unfortunately I can not ..... But I want you to know that I love you.And no matter what I will always be there for you. " The young pony said crying as she hugged her colt tightly. She should not have been more than 16, and honestly she was not ready to raise a filly by herself. The filly smiled at his mother who returned a sad smile. She kissed her foal's forehead and put it back in the basket. She was ready to leave until she heard something that made her heart melt.
"Ma ..... Mama ..." the foal tried to say, the pony's eyes widened and he did his best not to cry.
"I'm really sorry, you're going to be put in a much better home than I could give you." The young pony said, and with that she ran off leaving the foal at the orphanage's door,
Until the doors opened revealing one of the ponies working at the orphanage. Amethyst Star. When she noticed the young filly, she took it carefully in her arms and looked around to see if anyone was around. As she did not see anyone she came back into the orphanage with the young filly .....
______________________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
My name is Scootaloo, I have been an orphan since I was a baby, I live in the Ponyville orphanage, almost nobody knows it, the only ponies I trust to tell this are: Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Rainbow Dash. Only they know that I am an orphan, I do not know how I would say that to the other ponies, I do not know what they would think of me.
I woke up from a deep dream and I thought this had been the strangest dream I ever had. I dreamed of a pony leaving a baby in an orphanage. I was only asked if this was a reminder of my past or just a conciseness. I yawned and straightened my hooves before starting to get up and leave the room. I went out the door of the orphanage and walked to the Crusader club.
______________________________________
"Hello Scootaloo!" Said Sweetie Belle inside the club, I did not answer. I entered the club and sat in a corner, with a thoughtful face.
"An? Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom said
I immediately get out of my thoughts.
"Excuse me, I was not paying attention," I said in a half-serious tone. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom looked at each other.
"Are you sure you're all right, Scoots? You look kind of pensive today," Sweetie Belle asked, nodding.
"Yes girls I'm fine, I'm just kind of ..... Confused," I said.
"Confused? With what?" Asked Apple Bloom
"Well, tonight I had a rather strange dream ... I dreamed of a pony leaving a baby in an orphanage. I do not know if it was just my head or a memory of when I was a baby" I said
"Well, I guess you should not have dreamed about it, maybe it's a memory," Apple Bloom said.
"Do you remember what the pony of your dream was like?" Sweetie Belle asked, I shook my head.
"No, I could not see her face .... But I wanted to, I think this pony of my dream could be my mother .... I wanted to meet her in person and know what the reasons were. of her having abandoned me .... "I said
"Well, maybe if we asked Miss Amethyst who works at the orphanage where you live, give her some information," said Sweetie Belle
"Yes, and if all goes well we could help you find your mother!" Said Apple Bloom, I immediately opened a huge smile on my face
"Really? Would you do that for me?" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Of course Scoots! We're all friends, and we should help each other," Sweetie Belle said.
I ran up to them and hugged them.
"Thank you so much girls!" I thanked
After our embrace the three of us ran out of the club with our Crusaders uniforms, to the orphanage
"Maybe I'll finally meet my mother!" I thought hopefully
Now I have a new mission.
And that mission was to find my biological mother
_____________________________________________
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and I were standing in front of the Ponyville orphanage, then we approached the door and opened it.
"You're ready?" Apple Bloom asked me, I nodded.
"Yes, more than ever!" I said. With that, the three of us entered the orphanage.
We walked the halls of the orphanage looking for Amethyst Star, she worked in the orphanage since I was a baby, and I was hoping she would know something about my real mother.
We kept walking until finally we saw her, so my friends and I ran to her.
"Miss Amethyst !!!" I shouted, and turned to me and said,
"Hi Scootaloo, are these your friends?" She said, I nodded.
"Yes these are my best friends: Apple Bloom and Belle Sweetie"
"Nice to meet you Miss Amethyst!" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle said in unison.
"Pleasure is all my girls, but what brings you here today?" Amethyst asked
"Well Miss Amethyst, we would like to know if you know anything about my biological mother? Since you've been working here at the orphanage for years, I hope you knew something," I said.
Amethyst shook her head and said,
"I'm sorry Scootaloo but ..... I do not know anything about your mother or who she was, I'm sorry," she said.
I lowered my ears sadly at the answer.
"But you have no clue that can help our friend find her mother?" Sweetie Belle said
"Well, maybe I did ... when I found you at the Scootaloo door, you were wrapped in a kind of blanket that's only made in Cloudsdale."
"Cloudsdale?" Apple Bloom asked
"Yes, if you want I can give you the address where it's made," Amethyst said.
"Yes, please Miss Amethyst!" I begged.
She nodded and went to the counter and took out a paper and a pencil and began to write.
"Here is the address, good luck in finding you guys and Scootaloo do not come back late okay?" She said and I nodded.
With that I and the Crusaders ran out of the orphanage and we went to the place where maybe we would find our next clue. Cloudsdale.
But I only had one problem
How would we get there?
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was flying under Ponyville after a long day of practice at Worderbolt Academy, until I noticed three filly talking about something on the ground. And it seemed to be serious. I decided to go to them and ask what was going on.
"Hi, girls." I said as I landed on the floor and started to walk towards them. Scootaloo was the first to notice me and said:
"Hi Rainbow Dash, we were just trying to figure out a way to go to Cloudsdale," she said.
I was surprised
"Why do you want to go to Cloudsdale?" I asked suspiciously.
"Scootaloo really wants to know who his biological mother is, and our next clue is Cloudsdale," said Sweetie Belle
I narrowed my eyes, certainly not expecting it. Now.
"Well ... I understand your search interest but .... Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked nervously. She nodded
"Yes Rainbow Dash I'm sure! I really need to know who my mother is and what were her reasons for which she put me in an orphanage" Scootaloo said
I sighed and calmly nodded.
"Okay, this is a right you have, and if you need any help you can count on me okay?" I said quietly
"Yes I need your help, can you help us get to Cloudsdale?" Scootaloo said pointing at her and the other Crusaders. I nodded.
"Yay !!!! Thank you so much Rainbow Dash!" She said as she hugged my front paw. I was surprised but I returned the hug.
"Now Up Next Cloudsdale Stop!" Said Scootaloo
_________________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
Rainbow Dash took Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and I to Cloudsdale, to find the blanket maker that was left with me when I was abandoned. Before we come here we ask Twilight to give us a spell so that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle can walk in the clouds, I'm bringing a bag and inside it is the blanket for the manufacturer to identify and can give me a clue about my mother .
After a while we finally got to the address location.
"Well you guys can come in, I'll stay out here waiting," said Rainbow Dash. Me and the other Crusaders nodded and walked into the room.
"I hope everything works out," said Apple Bloom.
"Yeah, me too," I said.
A pony receptionist noticed us and said,
"Hello, what can I do for you today?" The receptionist asked.
I took the blanket from my bag and showed it to her.
"Well, would you know about this blanket?" I asked her to show her the blanket.
She took the blanket and inspected it.
"Well, my young lady, I only sold a blanket like this, it was about 8 years ago," said the receptionist.
"And do you know if it was for a pregnant pony or had a small daughter at the time?" Sweetie Belle asked
"I do not remember very well, but ..... She seemed pretty desperate at the time. If she was really pregnant or had a baby, I think you'd better check it out at Cloudsdale Hospital," she said.
"So that's it, our next stop is at Cloudsdale Hospital! I said as I and the Crusaders ran out of the hospital.
"Hey girls, how was it?" Asked Rainbow Dash
"We got one more clue about my mom, it's at Cloudsdale's hospital!" I said
"Do not you think you're taking it too far?" Said Rainbow Dash
"No, I really need to know who my mother is, and I will not give up until I find her," I said decisively.
"She looks like me when I was her age ..." Rainbow Dash thought
"Okay, so let's go to the hospital," she said.
"Yay!" I said
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was flying under the three filths while we were going to Cloudsdale Hospital. I was a little nervous about it .... But I knew this was a right that Scootaloo had.
We kept walking until I bumped into a pony.
"Oh, I'm sorry-" I stopped talking when I realized who I'd run into. He was a pale blue stallion in navy mane and his eyes were emerald green.
It was soarin
"I'm sorry too- do you expect Rainbow Dash?" He said
"Soarin?" I said
"What are you doing here?" He asked how he helped me to my feet.
"I was just going with these three filths to Cloudsdale Hospital," I said.
"The hospital?"
"Yes, my little sister Scootaloo wants very much to know who her mother is, and I could not say no"
"Rainbow Dash, who's this? Is it your boyfriend, Wonderbolt?" She said in a smile. My eyes and those of Soarin widened.
"Soarin is just my friend," I said.
"I know," Scootaloo said.
"It's true I and Rainbow Dash are just great friends," Soarin said.
"Fine, if you say," she said.
"Guys, we need to go," Apple Bloom said.
"Yes, of course, I'm coming," I said, and then I looked at Soarin.
"Well I need to go, then we'll see you at headquarters," I said.
"Well, if you want, I can help you with your quest," he said.
"Wait? Really?" I asked surprise
"Of course! I would be very happy to help Scootaloo find her mother!" He said with a smile
"Yay, that's cool, two Wonderbolts helping out!" Scootaloo said enthusiastically.
"Okay, okay, all help is welcome!" I said looking at Soarin.
"Come on, ponies!" Said Scootaloo
Then she and the other Crusaders rushed to the Hospital and Soarin and I flew right behind.
______________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
Me, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash, and Soarin walked toward Cloudsdale Hospital, and as I walked I felt someone nudging me. I turned to see who it was and it was Rainbow Dash.
"What was Rainbow Dash?" I asked
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked me with a worried face.
"Yes," I said as I continued to walk
______________________________________
Finally we had arrived at the Hospital, we stopped at the door and Rainbow Dash said:
"You three girls can go, I'll stay here," she said. I was confused.
"Why?" I asked her.
"Uh, for nothing ... It's because I do not really like hospitals, that's all," she said.
"Are you sure Rainbow?" Soarin asked
"Yes Soarin, I have," she said.
"Well ... So I'll stay here with you, just to keep you company, you little ones can go, we'll be waiting here" He said with a smile
"OK!!!!!" Me and the other Crusaders said in unison and then we went inside the hospital.
"Oh Soarin, you're sweet" Rainbow Dash said
"We tries to be does not he?" Soarin said with another smile
______________________________________
Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and I were inside the hospital and one of the nurses walked up to us and greeted us.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" She asked
"I wondered if ..... At about 8 years old a pregnant pony was here," I asked.
"Well dear back then there were a lot of pregnant ponies, could you give me more details?" She asked
"Well, if there's no way to know about the pony, do you at least know if a baby named Scootaloo was born here?" Sweetie Belle asked
"Just a minute, honey, I'll check," she said, and we nodded.
She searched and searched through the birth certificates in the closet until she finally found the certificate with my name. She walked over to us and gave us the certificate.
We opened it and started to read but had nothing on my mother. It was as if she wanted to remain anonymous.
"Ah ..." I murmured as I sadly lowered my head.
"We're sorry Scootaloo," said Apple Bloom hugging me.
"Alright ...." I said sadly.
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was outside the hospital with Soarin waiting for Scootaloo and the Crusaders coming back. And honestly I was not really liking this quest ....
Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom emerged from the hospital with despondent faces, Scootaloo was the one who was the most discouraged. And I had already realized that they did not have much success in there.
"Girls? What happened?" I asked
"Unfortunately we got no clue about the biological mother of Scootaloo" said Apple Bloom
"Yes ..... I was so confident to find my mother but .... Looks like it was not meant to be ..." Scootaloo said with tears in her eyes
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom hugged her as she cried.
I looked at them and then at Soarin, and I could tell that I was bad for Scootaloo. I did not know what to do at that moment to comfort her until something came into my mind.
"Shh, calm Scootaloo do not cry, look if you want, you do not need to go back to the orphanage today, if you want you can sleep in my house for a while," I said softly to her. She looked at me and approached me.
"Are you serious Rainbow Dash?" She asked a little surprised. I nodded.
"Of course .... You're like a little sister to me ... And I'd be happy to welcome you to my house," I said.
She quickly ran up to me and hugged me.
"Thank you Rainbow Dash," she said with tears in her eyes, I smiled and hugged her back.
After a few seconds we finally broke the embrace. And Soarin came and whispered in my ear.
"You did very well Rainbow, congratulations"
I looked at him and said,
"Thank you Soarin"
After that I realized that it was getting late and that Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom needed to go home.
"Girls, we better get back to Ponyville, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, I'll take you home and Scootaloo I'll tell Miss Amethyst you're going to spend a few days with me," I said and the Crusaders nodded, I turned to Soarin.
"Well Soarin, thank you for coming with Agent today, but now we need to get back to Ponyville," I said.
"You're welcome Rainbow, and if you want I can accompany you to Ponyville?" He asked
"Soarin does not need-"
"I insist"
"OK Alright"
He smiled and then we started toward Ponyville.
______________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
I was going with Rainbow Dash to her house today, she and Soarin left Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom at their house and then we went to the orphanage to tell Miss Amethyst Star that I'm going to spend a few days with Rainbow Dash.
Soarin accompanied Rainbow Dash and I to the Rainbow Dash house and when we arrived we stopped at the door.
"Thank you for accompanying us Soarin" Rainbow Dash said
"Yes, thank you," I said.
He gave us a smile.
You've welcome girls, it was a pleasure to accompany you," he said.
"Well it's better Scootaloo and I come in, thau Soarin see you tomorrow at headquarters" Rainbow Dash said
"Alright, see you tomorrow Rainbow and even more Scootaloo" he said taking off to the sky
When he was gone I turned to Rainbow Dash and asked,
"Rainbow Dash?"
"Yes Scootaloo?"
"Are you sure Soarin is not your boyfriend?" I asked. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened.
"Of course not Scootaloo! We're just friends! She said
"Okay then," I said with a smile.
Then we both walked into the house and Rainbow Dash led me into the guest room and put me to bed.
"Are you comfortable Scoots?" She asked as she put the blanket over me.
"Thank you very much Rainbow Dash ..."
"You're welcome Scoots sleep well, anything is just calling me okay?" She said kissing my forehead
Okay, I said.
Soon after she switched off the lights and closed the door, getting ready to go to sleep.
______________________________________
The next day.....
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast and I could barely sleep tonight, I was thinking a lot about Scootaloo. This search for her biological mother shook my head. And now I was with a thought that might change my life and hers forever, so maybe she'll forget this quest ... I love her so much and I do not want her to get hurt.
My thoughts were cut off when an orange filly called me.
"Good morning Rainbow Dash, are you okay?" She asked curiously looking at me
"Oh, good morning Scootaloo, I'm fine yes, I was just thinking about a new trick nothing much," I said lying. She nodded and sat down to have breakfast.
I was serving breakfast for her until I heard a knock on the door.
"Who could it be?" I said as I went to the door and opened it.
"Good morning Rainbow Dash"
"Soarin? What are you doing here?" I asked
"I just came by to see if you and Scootaloo are okay, I was just leaving"
"Oh do not imagine, come in," I said, leading him inside.
Scootaloo saw Soarin and said:
"Hello Soarin, did you come to breakfast with an agent?" She asked
"Well if the Rainbow Dash does not care ....?" he said looking at me
"Sure! Why not?" I said with a smile.
"Yes !!!" Said Scootaloo
______________________________________
We finished the coffee and were on our way to Ponyville to take Scootaloo to school. I really was enjoying Soarin's company, he's been so friendly to me and I can say that Scootaloo already likes him, I'm glad that.
After a short flight we were in front of the Ponyville school.
"Good class Scoots !, I'll be here to pick you up later!" I said waving at her.
"Bye Rainbow !, Bye Soarin!" She said waving to me and Soarin as she hurried to meet her friends.
I watched her walk into the living room and I wondered. Soarin saw this and said,
"Are you okay Rainbow?"
"Yes, I was just thinking ..."
"I can know what?"
"Well .... With everything that's been going on I was thinking .... On adopting Scootaloo," I said looking down at the floor. Soarin approached me and put a helmet on my back.
"This is really a very noble gesture on your part Dash, and if you or Scootaloo need any kind of help you can count on me," he said softly.
I smiled at him.
"Thank you Soarin, that means a lot coming from you"
"Imagine, you are a great friend to me and I would do anything to make you happy"
We both started blushing and after that we flew to Wonderbolt headquarters.
_____________________________________
After a great afternoon of practice at the Wonderbolt Academy, Soarin and I were flying towards Ponyville to get Scootaloo at school, Soarin insisted that he come with me to accompany everything, I'm glad he cares so much about me and Scootaloo and I even who was enjoying his company.
He and I approached the school and saw Scootaloo talking to his friends. When she saw us she ran up to us and gave us a big hug.
"How cool I did not know you were coming, too," she said, looking at him.
"Of course, yes, small!" He said smiling
"Well, we'd better go Scootaloo," I said, looking at her.
"Can I go to the club with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle before coming back with you?" She asked
I looked at Soarin and nodded.
"Sure, you can go and I'll meet you later!" I said
"Yay! Thank you Rainbow," she said and then ran to her friends.
I watched her with her friends and smiled.
"You still do not want her to know about adoption, do not you? So you let her go with your friends?" Soarin asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah .... I guess it's still not the right time to tell her," I said and Soarin nodded.
"Do you want to go through with the adoption process now?" He asked
"Yes, I want to do this as soon as possible," I said.
"Got it, uh Rainbow? Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"Why did you decide to take that decision to adopt Scootaloo suddenly? I'm not saying that you should not but ... just out of curiosity," he asked.
"Because .... I want her to have someone to take care of her with affection and I have a lot of affection for her ......" I said
"Okay, come on, I'll walk you," he said.
"Thank you Soarin," I thanked him smiling, he smiled back and with that we both flew to the Ponyville orphanage.
______________________________________
The adoption process went very fast. Soarin and I were at the orphanage where Scootaloo lived for the process. Miss Amethyst Star handed me some documents for me to sign and after it was over I finally had the Scootaloo guard.
"I knew you'd get Dashie!" Soarin said hugging me.
I blushed and hugged him back.
"Dashie?" Said looking at him with a smile
"Well yeah .... Dashie I think it suits you," he said blushing. I chuckled and said,
"Hehe, thank you, Soar"
"Soar?"
"Yeah, I think it's cute and suits you," I said blushing. He also began to blush and we looked away.
"Well, thanks Dashie," he said and I smiled.
"Well, we better get Scootaloo to tell you the news," I said.
"Right," he said.
______________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
I was at the club with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom and we were talking about new plans to help the ponies, when I suddenly heard someone call me.
"Scootaloo!"
"Looks like somebody's calling you Scoots," said Apple Bloom
"Yes I better go see who it is, just a minute girls!" I said as I left the club running.
"Rainbow Dash! Soarin!" I said as I ran to them
"Hi, little one!" Said Soarin
"Scootaloo, can I talk to you about something?" Rainbow Dash asked
"Of course! What is it?" I asked curiously
"So you're not going back to the orphanage anymore," Rainbow Dash said.
"What? Why?"
"Well, it looks like the coolest pony went by and ..."
My eyes widen, it could not be what I was thinking.
"Y-you .... A-adopted me ...?" I asked hopefully
"Yes Scoots, from now on you come and live with me!" Rainbow Dash said
I was not believing, I just got adopted by Equestria's coolest pony? This could only be a dream.
I quickly ran up to Rainbow Dash and gave everyone the biggest hug in her, she hugged me back.
I was very happy, but still I was not going to give up finding my biological mother.
______________________________________
It's been a while since I'm living with Rainbow Dash, we're not like mother and daughter, we treat ourselves just like big sister and little sister. But I'm happy the same way just thinking that my idol now has my guard already makes me more than happy, but still I still wanted to have a mother .... Not that I do not like Rainbow Dash taking care of me but ... All my friends (Exeto Apple Bloom) have mom and sometimes I wanted to know what that feeling was like.
My searches to find my mother are not over yet, I, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom have been investigating this every day, but we still have not found anything that would take us to my real mother. But I will not give up.
Another thing that has been happening these days is the approximation of Rainbow Dash with Soarin, since the day I decided to meet my mother they do not disagree more, I think they love each other, but they do not want to admit it at all, so that's when I had the brilliant idea of putting the two together.
"I know Rainbow Dash loves Soarin and he loves her, but they're too shy to tell each other how they feel, I think I'd better give a little push on that ... I'd better call Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom for help me! " I thought as I ran out of the room to find my friends.
______________________________________
I was at the Crusaders club with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, I was talking about putting together Rainbow Dash and Soarin.
"I think a super romantic date would be great to bring the two lovebirds together," said Sweetie Belle
"But how are we going to make them go to the meeting? If we say it's a romantic date they will not," I said.
"Well, we could invent something urgent and then we would call them to help us" suggested Apple Bloom
"It's going to be kind of a surprise meeting!" How sweet, "Sweetie Belle sang.
"Okay, now it's time for the cupid operation!" I said
______________________________________
Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and I just set up a super romantic dinner at Rainbow Dash's house and we were splitting up the chores of how to bring Rainbow Dash and Soarin here.
"Scootaloo you're going to get Soarin at Wonderbolt, Apple Bloom you're looking for the Rainbow Dash at Twilight's castle and I'm going to stay here and give you a few finishing touches on that romantic dinner. ! " Said Sweetie Belle
"OK!!!" Me and Apple Bloom said as we went out in search of the two young pigeons.
______________________________________
(Apple Bloom POV)
I ran into the Twilight castle in search of Rainbow Dash, I ran into the friendship map room and when I walked in I was: Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, my sister Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow Dash Fast!" I said running to her
"What was Apple Bloom?" Asked Applejack
"It's Scootaloo, she's not feeling well! Come on Rainbow Dash she needs your help!" I said
Rainbow Dash immediately came out of his throne I flew to me.
"Where is she?!" She asked desperately
"Come with me and I'll show you!" I said as I ran out of the room and she did the same.
______________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
I was at the Wonderbolt gym dragging Soarin by the tail to the Rainbow Dash house.
"Scootaloo, what's going on?" He asked
"It's Rainbow Dash, she's in trouble! Please help me!" I said
His eyes widened.
"WHAT?" He said
"Yes, come with me and I'll show you!" I said as I ran to Rainbow Dash's house.
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
Apple Bloom drove me home, the lights were off, and I was desperate for Scootaloo.
"Scootaloo! Are you here ?!" I screamed
"Calm Rainbow Dash, it should already appear" Apple Bloom said
"Apple Bloom, please tell me where she is-" I was cut off when a stallion and a filly entered the door of the house.
"Scootaloo! Soarin!" I screamed as I ran to them
"Rainbow Dash! What happened! Are you okay ?!" Soarin said wryly
"Yes, I am but I think it is Scootaloo who is not well! Are you well Scoots?" I said as I examined her
"Hey Rainbow Dash, I'm fine!" Scootaloo said with a smile
"Uh? I do not understand, did Apple Bloom come pick me up at the castle telling me you were not well?" I said suspiciously looking at the two frogs.
"And Scootaloo told me you were in trouble Rainbow, and I came right away" Soarin said.
I looked at the trolls with a wary look.
"Girls what are you up to?" I said
"Oh nothing, we're just pushing you little pigeons!" Said Sweetie Belle coming out of nowhere.
Then she turned on the lights with her magic revealing a room decorated with hearts and roses and a light dinner.
My eyes and those of Soarin widened, I turned to the stallions again to say something but the instant I did this they ran out the door locking it, leaving only Soarin and me in the room.
"Scootaloo, girls! You have 5 seconds to open that door and stop this joke!" I screamed for the door
"I'm sorry we can not do that Rainbow Dash, you and Soarin need to know they love each other one way or another," Sweetie Belle said outside the door, I looked at Soarin and said,
"I'm sorry Soarin, I do not know what hit them in the head-" I was cut with Soarin's hoof in my mouth.
"It's okay, I understand, it was just a kid's play, and they did all this in the greatest of intentions so let's not waste it tonight?" He said smiling
I blushed and then smiled.
"Okay, fine, but I'm still going to have a serious talk with Scootaloo about this!" I said and he nodded.
With that we both sat down and began to enjoy the evening.
______________________________________
Me and Soarin spent the night talking, telling funny things, flying tricks, etc ...
I have to admit the girls but I was enjoying the night. And the company.
I was feeling different, a feeling I had never felt with anyone before, ever since Scootaloo decided to find her mother, Soarin and I got close together and I was feeling pretty good about it.
Maybe the Crusaders are right, maybe I really liked him, but what about him? Does he like me back?
"Well Dashie .... I think it was even good that the girls did it .... I could not bear to keep all those feelings trapped inside me" Soarin said softly looking at me.
My eyes widened.
"Wh-what .... You mean ..." I asked curiously
"I think they're right .... I really do like you Dashie ..... More than a friend" he said blushing.
I also started to blush and said:
"I-I ... I do not know what to say ....."
"Well yes ...." He said
"Well, I really like you too," I said.
"Oh Rainbow, you do not know how much you make me feel good" he said putting a wing on my back, I blushed again and opened my mouth to say something but the moment I did ...
Soarin placed his lips on mine and kissed me with a huge passion. My eyes widened at the gesture, but after I realized what was happening I started to kiss him back.
We continued deepening the kiss until finally we broke it for lack of air. He opened his eyes at the same instant and said,
"I ... I love you Dashie ..."
"I ... I love you Soarin too ..."
With that I put my head on his chest and he kissed my head and put his wing on my back, and we were enjoying the rest of the night ...

(Scootaloo POV)
I was looking out the window the whole scene with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom and said,
"Mission accomplished girls!"
______________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
It's been a month since: I started the search to find my mom, Rainbow Dash adopted me and she and Soarin started dating. I was very happy for them, they really make a perfect couple.
I was still looking for information about my mother but so far nothing. I was beginning to lose hope. until today.
I was in my room at the Rainbow Dash house with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. We were talking about new methods to find my biological mother.
"Very well, Crusaders, time to think of a new method to find the mother of our friend Scootaloo!" Said Sweetie Belle
Rainbow Dash was walking down the hall and stopped at the door of my room and began to hear our conversation unnoticed.
"Yes, the city hall certainly has something about my past!" I said
So that's where Rainbow Dash came into the room.
"Hi, girls, what are you guys talking about?" She asked. I approached her and said.
"We are thinking of new methods to find my mother! This is not amazing Rainbow Dash!" I said smiling.
Rainbow Dash did not seem very happy about it, actually every time I talk about finding my biological mother, she gets tense, it seems she does not want me to talk about it.
"Yes .... It's incredible and everything but ..... I think you'd better stop with those searches," she said in a serious tone.
I narrowed my eyes and stepped back.
"What? Why?" I asked confused.
"It's for your good, I do not want you to get hurt!" She said
"But I need to know who my mother is Rainbow Dash, you do not understand how it is!" I said the edge of tears
"I understand yes but .... I just want to protect you ... Now let's not talk about it again, okay?" Rainbow Dash said as he left the room.
I was sitting on the ground floor, I certainly was not expecting it.
"Do not look like Scootaloo, she should not have spoken badly," said Apple Bloom
"Yes, but .... Why does she always look like this when I talk about my mother? Does she even seem like she does not want me to meet my mother?" I said
"Maybe she just wants to protect you," said Sweetie Belle.
"From what? I do not know but ... I feel she's hiding something from me ..... And I'm going to find out what it is," I said

(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was sitting on the grass in the Ponyville grove with Soarin for our one month anniversary. I was with a worried expression on his face and Soarin was beginning to worry about me.
"Dashie? What happened?" He asked softly looking at me.
"Well .... It's Scootaloo ... She's making up missions to find her biological mother ...... And that's making me worried .... I do not want her to get hurt," I said.
"I know you're right to worry but she's just a kid, she's just excited about all this soon enough, and besides that should not be easy for her not to know anything about her past," he said.
"I know but .... I do not want her to think that her mother did not want her .... She just could not even ...." I said looking down at the floor, Soarin raised an eyebrow.
"And how do you know that?" He said
My eyes widened at the question.
"Well .... I-I ..." I tried to say
Soarin put a wing on my back and kissed my forehead.
"Come on dear, you know you can trust me, do not you?" He said in a sweet tone and I nodded.
"Well .... Do not be surprised at what I'm going to tell you and ...... Please promise me you will not tell anyone, especially Scootaloo," I said in a serious tone.
"Of course Baby I promise I will not tell anyone," he said softly as he held my helmet.
I took a deep breath and said,
"Soarin ..... Scootaloo is my daughter," I said.
Soarin's eyes widened.
"W-what? B-but how ...?" He said
"Y-yes ..... That's why I do not want her to continue this quest, I'm afraid she'll find out and get hurt," I said with tears in my eyes.
Soarin hugged me and said.
"Shhhh that's fine Dashie I understand, but .... Why did not you tell anyone that Scootaloo is your daughter?" He asked softly as he hugged me, I opened my mouth to respond but the instant I made an orange filly appeared out of nowhere with two other filth.
It was Scootaloo and the other Crusaders
"W-what? R-Rainbow D-Dash is my mother?" She asked with tears in her eyes.
I pulled away from Soarin and started to walk towards Scootaloo.
"Scootaloo, listen to me-" I was cut off because she pulled away from me when I got close.
"Y-you are my mother, you abandoned me! And you did not tell me anything after all this time!" She screamed with tears in her eyes.
"I did not want to! I was forced! I did not want you to get hurt!" I told her with tears in my eyes.
"I do not believe you!" She said
After that she ran out of the woods and the other Crusaders followed her.
I stood there, shocked by what just happened. I started to cry heavily and Soarin approached me and hugged me.
"Shhhh Rainbow calm, she's just shocked at all this, when you explain what happened she'll understand," he said softly
"I-I hope so ..." I said as I wept on his chest, and he was kissing me softly on the head.
______________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
I was in the Crusaders Club crying, I just could not believe what just happened.
Rainbow Dash. Is Rainbow Dash my biological mother? And I did not know that after all this time. It was not easy for me, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom were doing their best to comfort me, and at that moment nothing could cheer me.
Rainbow Dash the pony that put me under her wings a few years back, which became my big sister, who was my idol and who adopted me when I needed. But behind all this I did not know that it could be the pony that I was looking for many years ago, I was really shocked and shaken by everything that happened.
"Shhhh, Scootaloo, do not cry," Apple Bloom said, trying to console me.
"How can I not cry!" The pony that passed my big sister all along was actually my biological mother! She saw how much I wanted to know who my mother was and how much I felt alone for not have one and did not tell me anything! Who does that ?! " I screamed while I cried
"We understand what you're going through Scootaloo, I'd feel the same in your place, but you also need to listen to her side, she should not have abandoned you for what she wanted," said Sweetie Belle
"I do not want to hear her side! The only thing I know, she did not want me when I was born! I do not need her explanations!" I said
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom just stared at the floor and continued to do what they could to comfort me while I cried, I think it best not to go back to Rainbow Dash's house today, I do not know if I'm ready to see her again.
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was still in the woods with Soarin, I was lying on his chest as he stroked my mane, and did my best to comfort me. but I understood the side of Scootaloo, I should not have kept a secret like this hidden for so long, she will never look at me the same way before.
"Rainbow, are you ready to explain to me what happened?" Soarin asked me softly as I wiped away my tears.
I nodded and looked at him.
"Well, it all started eight years ago when I was still a teenager ..." I said
______________________________________
I was 16 years and I was still at flying school, I did not have many friends there, just Fluttershy and Gilda. One day I met a beautiful orange pegasus stallion with purple mane and blue eyes, called Feather Fire and he was a great stallion, he would help me when I needed him, defend me from school bullies, and then we would become best friends.
It took several months and then I came to the conclusion that I was completely in love with him, and he felt the same way about me, so we started a nice romance. My parents loved him, they thought he was the perfect pony for me and that one day we were getting married.
A few months after meeting with him, I started to have problems in my health and I was very worried, my parents said it was just ordinary flu, but I was sure it was not that, so I went to check in at Cloudsdale hospital without My parents will know. When I saw the result of pregnancy I was very desperate, I was only 16 years old I did not know how I was going to raise a filly at that age and I did not know how my parents and Feather would react to this, so I thought it best to tell Feather alone . He even reacted well, but even so I found it better no one else knew of my pregnancy, so we kept it a secret until Scootaloo was born.
When Scootaloo was born, things got more difficult for me and Feather because we still kept it a secret. after Scootaloo was born, we thought it was going to be worse to tell our parents by then. So we took care of her in secret, our parents never suspected anything so we were more relieved.
But as time went by, Feather started to be aggressive with bad company and I was very worried about it, sometimes he even beat me and Scootaloo.
I could not put up with this, I did not want to put my life and my daughter's life at risk, so on a stormy night I flew with Scootaloo in a basket to the Ponyville orphanage, I thought she was going to stay much longer safe there, was one of the hardest things I've ever done but I knew it was for her good.
The next day I went to Feather's house looking for him so I could end our relationship, but he was not there, his parents said he was gone and they had no news of him, I was even relieved but I was still sad for his parents.
A few years later I left my parents' house and came to live here in Ponyville because of the work I received, and also so that I can stay closer to Scootaloo, as it had not yet been adopted I thought I still had chances to to have custody of her again. but as time went on she started getting closer to me, she said she was my number one fan, then she asked me to become her big sister and I ended up accepting. After that I no longer knew how to tell her that I was her mother.
______________________________________
"Now I think you know the rest ..." I said looking at Soarin.
He looked shocked at me, but then gave me a sympathetic look and hugged me.
"Yeah, do not worry Rainbow I know you did all this to protect Scootaloo, but now I think you should talk to her, she needs you more than anything in this world," Soarin said as he gave me a sweet look.
I smiled and then kissed her cheek.
"You're right Soarin, I'm going to talk to her, I can not leave my daughter alone anymore!" I said
"Come on, I'll go with you, and you can count on me for everything, I'll help you whatever you need," Soarin said as he put a hoof around me.
"Thank you Soarin, I could not have asked for a better boyfriend than you," I said as I gave a quick kiss to his lips and he smiled.
"Me neither, Dashie," he said as he gave me another kiss.
______________________________________
Me and Soarin flew to my house looking for Scootaloo, when we arrived we entered the house and started looking for it, but we did not find it.
"Scootaloo !? Scootaloo !?" I shouted her name but got no response, I was starting to get worried.
"Scootaloo! Oh my God Soarin, she's not here!" I said
"Stay calm Dashie, she can be in the Club with her friends or with her other friends" Soarin said
"I hope so ..." I said.
Then the two of us set off in search of Scootaloo for the city.
______________________________________
Soarin and I went to ask the house of all my friends and all the ponies Scootaloo knew if anyone had seen her. But the answer was always the same. Do not.
I was getting desperate, I did not know what to do, I should not have hidden the truth of Scootaloo for so long.
"S-Soarin, what am I going to do? M-my daughter is missing and I can not find her, oh just imagine what she must be going through now .." I said as I cried
Soarin was doing his best to comfort me while stroking my mane and kissing her.
"Do not worry Dashie, we'll find her," he said.
"Rainbow Dash !!!" We heard a voice and two frogs running toward us. It was Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, the closest friends to Scootaloo.
I quickly flew to them and asked if they knew where my daughter was.
"Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, do you know where Scootaloo is?" I asked them and they bit their lip and approached me.
"Yeah, she's in Everfree Forest, we tried to convince her not to go but she did not hear an agent," said Sweetie Belle
"And there's a strong storm coming, we're very worried that something might happen to her," said Apple Bloom
My eyes widened with concern.
"What ?! I have to go after her!" I said desperately.
"No Rainbow is too dangerous! I'll go there, you stay here with the girls," Soarin said.
"Thank you Soarin, but it's me who have to go, Scootaloo is my daughter and I do not know what I would do if something happened to her, you stay here with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom and I go after Scootaloo" I said
"Are you sure Rainbow? I do not want anything bad to happen to you," Soarin said.
I approached him and kissed his cheek.
"Nothing will happen, you can trust me!" I said
"Okay fine, but if you need help just yell" help "okay?" He said and I nodded.
After that I flew quickly to Everfree Forest.
______________________________________
(Scootaloo POV)
I was completely lost in Everfree Forest and a strong storm was coming. I did not know what to do, but I did not want to go back to Dash's house either.
Suddenly lightning struck a tree that quickly fell on top of me, and the storm began.
"Oh my god," I said as I tried to get out from under the tree but I could not.
I was starting to get desperate and started screaming for help.
"Someone help me!" I screamed and the storm only grew stronger by the minute.
"HELP!" I kept yelling but got no response.
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was flying over to Everfree Forest when I suddenly heard the scream of Scootaloo. I flew closer to the ground and started looking for her.
"SCOOTALOO ?!" I screamed
"Rainbow Dash?" I heard a voice
"Yes I am, where are you ?!"
"I am here"
"Here where?!"
"On here"
I followed her voice and finally found her. A tree was on top of her and she was desperately trying to get out.
I immediately flew to her and tried to get the tree off her.
"Calm Scootaloo, I'm here," I said as I continued to lift the tree so that it would come out, when at last the tree was far away from her I took her in my arms and hugged her tightly.
"Shhh, calm down Scoots, it's over," I said with tears in my eyes as I hugged her tightly.
She started to cry in her chest and began to hug me back.
I quickly flew over to my house in Ponyville, and Soarin was in front of my front door. When he saw me he quickly flew to me.
"Rainbow! You found her! Is she all right?" Soarin asked me
"Yes, but I think she caught a cold, let's get in quick, the storm is getting too strong for her," I said and Soarin nodded.
With that we both quickly entered the house and closed the door.
Now Scootaloo needed me more than anything.
______________________________________
I put Scootaloo on the bed and began to caress her mane while she coughed a little, Soarin was down in the living room waiting for me. I was feeling so guilty about all this.
"Scootaloo, I'm sorry ..... I should have told you the truth from the beginning ..." I said softly.
Scootaloo's eyes began to fill with tears.
"Why? Why did you give it to me?" She said
"Sweetie, I never wanted to do it .... What I wanted most at that time was to be able to create you and give you all the possible love ..... But ... I could not ... I was very young at the time , and his father ... Well ... He was not the best, he was very violent and sometimes even hit you and me .... I did not want you to get hurt, so I found that the best thing to do at that moment was to put you in a safe place, "I said with tears in my eyes.
"Are you serious...?" Scootaloo asked
"Of course, I would never lie to you like this ....
And now I understand if you do not forgive me ... I've never been one of the best mothers- "I was cut off with Scootaloo hugging me tightly, my eyes widening at his touch.
"I forgive you ... Mother ..." Scootaloo said crying tears of happiness.
I kissed her head and hugged her back.
"Thank you ..... My daughter ... And I'm sorry" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Alright ... And I'm sorry I ran away," she said.
"Shhh, alright ... What matters now is that you're okay ..." I said
We held each other for a long time, until Scootaloo fell asleep on my chest. I gently smiled at her.
"Rainbow?" I turned to see who it was, and saw Soarin standing at the door of the room.
"Are you all right?" He asked
"More than you could ever imagine," I said, smiling at him.
He gently approached me and kissed my head, and we both stayed right there for a while what looked like hours watching Scootaloo sleeping.
And this was just the beginning of my new life ...
______________________________________
One month later....
(Scootaloo POV)
I was at home with my mom Rainbow Dash, reading a book from Daring Do. I was cuddling against her chest and she gently caressed my mane. I really was enjoying it, finally I had found my real mother, my mother's friends were quite surprised by all this, after all who would not? Rainbow Dash Ponyville's most incredible pony had a daughter this entire time? That really surprises anyone.
I had also been so close to Soarin, he always comes to visit me and my mother, I really enjoyed his company and I was hoping for one day he and my mother get married, then I'll finally have a father. Although I already consider him as a father, and he also considers me as a daughter.
My life is great now.
Knock on the door ...
"Mama, can I see who it is?" I said
"Of course" my mother said
I ran to the door and opened it, and there was Soarin outside, as usual he always came to visit my mother and me.
"Hello Scoots," he said.
"Hi, Soarin! Mom's in the bedroom, just wait a minute I'll call," I said, and Soarin nodded.
A few seconds passed and I left the room with my mother, she smiled to see Soarin, and he did the same.
They approached each other and leaned in for a kiss.
"Aawww," I said as I pressed my cheeks together like my mother.
She and Soarin turned away from each other blushing.
"Well girls, I was thinking of doing something nice just the three of us today" Soarin said
"Well that sounds great," my mom said.
"Yes, we can go to Sugarcubbe coner, please, Mom?" I asked hopefully.
My mother and Soarin nodded.
"Of course Scoots!" My mother said
"Yay!" I said excitedly
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
Scootaloo, Soarin and I were at Sugarcubbe Coner enjoying a lovely meal. These are times like the one I love. The company of my daughter and my loving boyfriend.
"Mom, can I order another cupcake?" Scootaloo asked me
"Alright, but this is the last one okay?" I said
"Okay, thanks mother!" She said as she ran to the bleachers where Miss Cake was.
"She's a Dashie child angel," Soarin said as he looked at me.
"Yes, she is," I said as I leaned my head against her chest.
______________________________________
When we finished dinner the three of us went to my house and started watching a movie together.
Me and Soarin were sitting side by side and Scootaloo was in the middle of the two of us.
"AAAA" Scootaloo suddenly screamed and hid under my wing.
"What was Scoots?" I asked
"This movie is so scary ..." She said still under my wing
"Shhh do not have to be scared Scoots, Mommy's here okay?" I said
"Your mother is right Scoots, it's just a movie, the things that happen in him are not real, and besides we're here to protect you," Soarin said as he stroked Scootaloo's mane.
"Okay," she said putting a timid smile on her face, and then returned to her original position with my wing still on her back.
After that we got back to watching the movie, snuggled into each other.
______________________________________
"Aww, Mom, I'm going to bed, okay?" Scootaloo said yawning
"Okay, good night Scoots!" I said
Scootaloo started up the stairs to the bedrooms, and I turned to Soarin.
"Well then, now you want to do something more romantic?" I said smiling at him.
"No need to ask twice!" Soarin said as he jumped on top of me and began kissing me very passionately.
______________________________________
A few days later....
Scootaloo, Soarin and I were in front of my parents' house to tell them they have a granddaughter, they will be quite surprised when they find out, but I think they will love to know that Scootaloo is their granddaughter. After all they like her very much.
I approached the door and rang the bell and began to wait. The door opened revealing my mother Windy Whistles
"Dashie, what a big surprise you have here!" My mom said hugging me.
"Hello Mom, we came here because we have something very important to talk to you and Dad," I said looking at Scootaloo and Soarin.
"Yes, my dear, hello, Scootaloo, it's a pleasure to see you again! And oh, this must be your new boyfriend you're talking about, is not it Rainbow?"
"Yes, Mom, I want you to meet Soarin, my boyfriend," I said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" My mother said
"It's a pleasure to meet you, too lady" Soarin said.
"Well, let's go in and talk about what you wanted to talk about," my mother said and we nodded.
We went into the house and sat down on the couch.
"Make yourself at home, I'll call your dad Rainbow!" My mother said as she left the room.
It took a few seconds and my mother was back with my dad Bow Hothoof.
"Rainbow, that's good you came to visit us! Hi, Scootaloo! And Rainbow this must be your boyfriend?" My father said
"Yes, Dad, this is Soarin, my boyfriend," I said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir." Soarin said.
"The pleasure is all mine! And look you better take good care of my little Dashie heard!" My dad said smiling.
"Dad, Mom, I need to tell you something," I said.
"You can talk honey," my mother said.
I took a deep breath and started talking.
"You remember Feather Fire do not you remember?"
"Of course, he was a great pony I just do not understand why you're done," my dad said.
"Well .... It was because some things happened ..." I said.
"What kind of things?" My father said
I sighed and said,
"Mom, Dad, while I was with Feather I ..... I had a son ..." I started.
The eyes of my parents widened
"Yes .... Scootaloo is my daughter," I said.
"Wh-what?" My mother said
"I did not tell it at the time because .... I did not know what the reaction of the two of you would be, and .... I broke up with Feather because he started to get very violent and he even beat me and in Scootaloo ... I thought about asking you for help .... But I thought you would not understand, so I took Scootaloo to the Ponyville orphanage where she would be safer ... "I said hugging Scootaloo
My parents had stunned looks on their faces, they just stared at me and Scootaloo silently and said nothing, until my mother finally said something.
"Sweetie .... You could have told us, we would certainly help you, after all you are our daughter," my mother said.
"I know .... I'm sorry," I said.
"All right dear, well Bow looks like the two of us now have a granddaughter, do not we?" My mother said
"Yes, a beautiful granddaughter by the way," my father said making Scootaloo blush.
"Thank you Mr. Bow" Scootaloo said
"Imagine dear, now you can call us Grandfather and Grandmother!" My dad said smiling, Scootaloo smiled back and hugged his new grandparents, who happily hugged him back.
"Well it looks like it all worked out Dashie after all," Soarin said as he pulled a helmet onto my back.
"Yes," I said.
______________________________________
One year later...
(Scootaloo POV)
It was night and I was with Soarin in front of my house, because I was planning something very special for my mother.
"Do you think your mother will like it?" Soarin asked me as I held a small box of velvet in their hooves.
Yeah, he was planning to ask to my mom in marriage, to play a serenade for her, and I was super happy about it because I'm finally going to have a dad.
"Sure! I'm sure she'll love it!"
After that, Soarin took a guitar and started playing beautiful music in my mother's window. I just hope she understands everything.
(The music of Soarin)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dI9EgzgXskg
My mother opened the window and smiled at Soarin, after he finished the song, she flew down from the window and approached Soarin blushing.
Soarin knelt in front of her with a small velvet box with a diamond ring inside.
My mother's eyes widened as she realized what was happening.
"S-Soarin ..." She tried to say
"Dashie, do you want to marry me?" He asked smiling at her.
My mother was in shock for a few seconds but then jumped on him and knocked him to the ground.
"Yes Soarin! I'll totally marry you!" She said and then kissed him very passionately and he happily returned the kiss.
"Awwww," I said, smiling.
After they finished they got up and I approached them.
"I'm so happy for you !!!" I said excitedly
"Thank you Scoots" my mother said
"Well, now that you're getting married, can I ask you something?" I asked
"Yes, of course, what is Scoots?" Soarin said
"A little sister!" I said
My mother and Soarin blushed and then smiled.
And I could not be happier than now. I now have a mother and in a few months I finally have a father too, I think nothing could make me happier than now.
