Now Scootaloo not only had a mother but now also had a father. Rainbow Dash had married Soarin about two months ago. Scootaloo was very happy to finally have a real family after all the time she was an orphan. Since Scootaloo's life was perfect she thought that nothing could get in the way of her new life. But what she didn't know was that something shocking was about to happen ... "Mommy! Daddy! I got home!" Scootaloo said as she walked into her house and greeted her parents. "Hi Scootaloo, what did you do out there?" Rainbow Dash asked as she was sitting on the couch with her husband Soarin. "Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and I were helping some ponies with Cutie Marks issues" Scootaloo said "It looks like you and your friends really enjoy doing this, aren't you small?" Soarin said and Scootaloo nodded. Rainbow Dash then looked at Soarin and they both nodded in agreement about something. "Scootaloo we would like to talk to you" Dash said "About what?" "Well would you like this family to be bigger?" "Well, I think she's big enough right? We have you, Daddy, Grandpa Bow and Grandma Windy. I think that's great enough. But for that question" Scootaloo asked a little suspiciously. "Well Scoots your mom and I actually have some news to tell you" Soarin said "Really? What's new? Wait I'll guess, maybe it's a vacation to Manehattan or maybe the Crystal Impire? Or was Mom promoted as captain of the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash laughed "It's not squirt, it's much better than a trip or a promotion" "So I don't know. What is it?" Rainbow Dash and Soarin then looked at each other with a smile on their face and then Rainbow Dash grabbed Scootaloo's hoof and put it on his stomach. "About 11 months from now you will have a little brother or little sister to play with! Isn't that great?" She said Scootaloo's face sank a little. "You are pregnant?" "Yeah, so what do you think about the news?" "Well I ... I think it's cool ... I think ..." Scootaloo said in a kind of sad tone. "What was Scoots? I thought you would be excited about the news of having a baby brother because you're so sad" Soarin said "I'm happy but ... Now that you're going to have a baby, that means you're leaving me ..." Scootaloo said with tears forming in his eyes. Rainbow Dash saw this and then she approached her daughter and caught her in her hooves. "Shhh it's alright Squirt, this will never happen, you don't have to worry about it, your father and I love you so much and we'll never replace you" Dash said in a sweet candy "Your mother is right Scootaloo, so think about how cool it will be to have a little brother, you can teach him what is right and what is wrong, you can play with him and many other things that can you imagine "Soarin said Scootaloo smiled and hugged his parents. "Maybe you're right ... Maybe it's nice for me to have a little brother or sister." ______________________________________ Scootaloo was at the Cutie Mark Crusaders club telling his friends the news. "But this is awesome Scootaloo!" Said Sweetie Belle "Yes, now you can have a brother or sister like Sweetie and me" Apple Bloom said "Yeah maybe it's cool ..." Scootaloo said "What was Scootaloo? You don't look happy" Sweetie Belle said "No I'm happy but ... I'm just afraid" "Fear of what?" "That my parents forget about me ... They said it would never happen but ... I don't know" Apple Bloom approached Scootaloo and put a hoof on his shoulder. "And they are right, Scootaloo you can't think your parents will abandon you, because from what I know of them you know they would never do that." "Do you guys think so anyway?" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom nodded. "Ok, I think ..." ______________________________________ To be continued... The BirthFive months had passed and Rainbow Dash was now eleven months pregnant, her belly had already reached full size and her foal was near birth. Rainbow Dash, Soarin and Scootaloo were sitting in the kitchen having dinner when suddenly Rainbow Dash began to feel a sharp pain in his stomach. "Dashie?! Are you ok?!" Soarin asked desperately "I just ... I think ... It's coming Soarin!" Dash said holding his stomach. Soarin's eyes widened. "What now ?! Don't worry sweetie I'll take you to the hospital, Scootaloo go to Twilight castle and stay with her until your mother and I come back!" Soarin said and Scootaloo nodded. Soon after he ran with Dash to the hospital. ______________________________________ Scootaloo was sitting in a chair outside the delivery room with Twilight. "Do you think she'll be fine Twilight?" Scootaloo asked "Don't worry about it Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash is a strong mare I'm sure she's doing great inside" Twilight said A few minutes later Nurse Redheart left the room and went to Twilight and Scootaloo. "The birth was a success, now you can enter!" She said "Would you like to go first Scootaloo?" Twilight asked and Scootaloo nodded. Then she entered the delivery room and saw her mother lying in bed next to her father holding a little foal in its hooves. When Rainbow Dash noticed Scootaloo she smiled. "Hey Scoots come here," she said, Scootaloo then went to the bed and saw the baby more closely. "It's beautiful, is it a filly or a foal?" Scootaloo asked "You now have a beautiful little sister to play Scoots" Soarin said Scootaloo was amazed at the sight of his new sister. The baby was cyan blue, her mane was navy blue with some green, red and purple streaks, so she opened her eyes revealing to be bright green. "She's really cute, how did you decide to call her?" She said "Well we haven't decided that yet, we wanted to decide it with you, do you have any suggestions?" Dash said as he held the baby. "Well I think she looks like ... Raindrop ... Raindrop Skies" Rainbow Dash and Soarin smiled "It's perfect" ______________________________________ To be continued... A New Little SisterA few days later, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were allowed to return home with Raindrop, Scootaloo was even calmer now that she was born. She was now going to meet her mother to teach her some flying lessons. "Hey Mom!" Scootaloo said "Yes Scoots? What is it?" Dash said "Are you ready?" "Ready? Ready for what?" "What do you mean for what mom? Did you forget that you were going to give me some flying lessons today?" "Oh that, I'm sorry Scootaloo but today it's going to be kinda hard for me to help you with that, you know I need to take care of your sister" Scootaloo lowered his ears and had a disappointed face on his face, Dash saw it then approached her and put a wing on her back. "Hey don't worry squirt, I promise I'll try to find some free time on my schedule to teach you" "Ok, Alright..." ______________________________________ The next day Rainbow Dash's friends and the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders came to meet Rainbow Dash and Soarin's baby. "Oh she's so beautiful!" Twilight said "Yes, congratulations Rainbow Dash and Soarin" Applejack said "She's just adorable, I'm sure she'll be a fashion fan when she grows up" Rarity said "I really loved her mane" Fluttershy said "Oh please can I carry her?" Pinkie Pie said Rainbow Dash then smiled and handed Raindrop to Pinkie Pie. "Hello baby! I am your aunt Pinkie Pie, and I want you to know that you are very welcome to your new home!" Pinkie Pie said "I think she's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen" Rarity said "Yes, she is. I think no other foal can compare to her" Applejack said Scootaloo was just watching from afar, she was kind of bothered by all the compliments for the baby. "So she no foal can compare to her ..." Scootaloo thought "Hi Scootaloo, your sister is adorable!" Sweetie Belle said "Yes, I bet you're loving her" Apple Bloom said "Yeah ... maybe" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle looked at each other. "Are you ok Scootaloo?" Sweetie Belle asked "Yeah ... I just ..., you saw how all your sisters and the other ponies were praising Raindrop, they even said no one compares to her. So I guess I'm nothing compared to her. ... "Scootaloo said "Scootaloo I can't believe you're jealous of your little sister" Apple Bloom said "No! I'm not jealous I'm just ..." "Are you sure?" "Yes" "Fine, if you say so" ______________________________________ To be continued... A Babysitting Day!Scootaloo was in his room playing with his Daring Do and Wonderbolts toys when his mother entered the room. "Scootaloo?" "Yes mom?" "I'll need to go out with your dad for a while, and I'll need you to take care of Raindrop in the meantime." "Ok Alright" "I beg you to be very careful with her, don't leave her alone for a minute and don't let her eat sweet things" Scootaloo nodded A few minutes later Rainbow Dash was downstairs getting ready to go out with Soarin. "Don't worry little one, mommy and daddy are back, meanwhile you look good with your sister," Rainbow Dash said as she hugged her younger foal and put her in Scootaloo's hooves. "We'd better go Dashie" Soarin said "Yeah, I'll see you later," Dash said as he kissed his two daughters' forehead and flew out the door with Soarin. Now it was just Scootaloo and Raindrop. Scootaloo was in a situation not knowing what to do. "So ... what do you want to do?" Scootaloo asked the foal. "Baaaboooo" "I don't know exactly what that means but .... How about we meet the Cutie Mark Crusaders club?" Raindrop simply laughed "I'll take that as a yes" ______________________________________ Scootaloo took Raindrop to the Cutie Mark Crusaders club, and her friends were amazed at the cuteness of the baby. "Ohhhh but isn't she the cutest thing?" Sweetie Belle said as she stroked Raindrop's mane "Yes, I always wanted to have a little sister, you really are very lucky" Apple Bloom said "Yeah maybe ..." Scootaloo said "But then how long will you be taking care of her?" Apple Bloom asked "Until my parents come back" Scootaloo said "Well we can help her take care of her so I love babies!" Sweetie Belle said "Alright Crusaders! So today's mission is to take care of Scootaloo's little sister!" Apple bloom said ______________________________________ The Cutie Mark Crusaders spent half the day taking care of Raindrop, and they were lucky because she was such a calm and quiet baby so she didn't bother at all. Now they were at Sugarcubbe Corner eating some candy. "Wow these sweets are great, I love the candys here" Sweetie Belle said "Yeah, and Raindrop seems to be enjoying it too" Apple Bloom said as she looked at Raindrop who was overeating the candy "So Scootaloo, do you really think she can eat so many candys like that? After all she's still too small" Apple Bloom said "Yes, my mother said she can't eat salty stuff, so that's fine" Scootaloo said Shortly after eating the candy the fillies went to Ponyville Park to play a little "Ok girls let's play catch!" Sweetie Belle said "Yes let's go!" Scootaloo said "But Scootaloo, we can't play this with Raindrop here, she can get hurt playing this" Apple Bloom said "Relax she'll be fine, just put her sitting on this bench and she's fine" Scootaloo said as he put Raindrop on the bench "Scootaloo I think this is not a good idea ..." Sweetie Belle said "Don't worry girls, now let's go!" Then the three fillies rushed away to start playing with each other. Soon after Raindrop started to crawl to the end of the bench and then she fell headfirst to the floor and started crying a lot. The three fillies heard the cry and then went to the baby lying on the floor. "Oh my god Raindrop!" Scootaloo said as he took Raindrop in her hooves and began to rock the filly, but it was not enough to calm her down. "What's going on here?" Rainbow Dash said as she flew to the foals along with Soarin "Scootaloo what happened? And why is Raindrop crying so hard?" Soarin said "Well I .... I went out to play with my friends and left her sitting on the bench, I didn't know she was going to crawl until she fell off the bench" Rainbow Dash then glared at her daughter. "Scootaloo, I clearly said you were supposed to be very careful with her! You're lucky nothing much happened to her, now let's go home!" Scootaloo then lowered his ears and obeyed her mother. ______________________________________ Soarin and Rainbow Dash returned home with both fillies, so they realized that Raindrop was crying a lot nonstop. "Hasn't she stopped crying yet?" Soarin asked "No, I don't know why she's crying so hard, I've tried everything to make her stop but it didn't work out much," Dash said as he held Raindrop in her hooves. "Maybe Scootaloo knows why." "Yes, I'll ask her" Then Rainbow Dash shouted her daughter's name, and she went downstairs to see what her mother wanted. "Yes mommy?" Scootaloo said "Do you know why your sister is crying so hard? Did you give her something different to eat?" Scootaloo bit his lip "Scootaloo?" "Well I ... I let her have some candy at Sugarcubbe Corner" Rainbow Dash then gave her daughter another furious look. "Scootaloo, I told you clearly that I wasn't supposed to let your sister eat too much candy! And now she may have a very bad stomach ache, do you have any idea what this is ?!" Dash said "Sorry, I-" "Your mother is right Scootaloo, you should have had more responsibilities, now go to your room!" Soarin said Scootaloo nodded and then walked to his room. "They don't love me anymore ..." Scootaloo said crying on his pillow "Now that Raindrop is here, they don't need me anymore ... I think it's better to find somewhere else to stay," she said as she began to prepare her things. _____________________________________ To be continued... FINALThe next few days for Scootaloo were much better, she had finally accepted the fact that she had a younger little sister, and that her parents would never leave her. "Scootaloo? Your father and I are leaving, can you stay with Raindrop in the meantime?" Rainbow Dash asked "Yes, but of course mom!" Scootaloo said Soon after, Soarin and Rainbow Dash were preparing to leave. "Later, girls, behave yourself," Soarin said as he held Raindrop in him hooves and kissed her on the head. "Come on Raindrop, today we will have a very fun day!" Scootaloo said as she caught Raindrop in her hooves "Looks like you're no longer jealous of her don't you Squirt?" Dash said and Scootaloo shook her head "I learned to love this cute thing, and yes I was wrong at first to be jealous of her..." Rainbow Dash then approached her two daughters and kissed both of them on the forehead. "We'll be back soon" she said as she walked through the door with Soarin. "So ready to have fun Raindrop?" "Mndmdmmm" Scootaloo smiled Suddenly Raindrop said something that made Scootaloo's heart melt. "S-Scoo...ta... loo ..." "What did you say?" "Scootaloo!" Scootaloo smiled then a tear began to trickle from her eyes. She then took Raindrop and hugged her tightly. And Raindrop hugged her back. "Thank you" ______________________________________ Scootaloo had spent most of the day walking and playing with Raindrop. When night had come, Rainbow Dash and Soarin had not yet come home, so Scootaloo was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face along with her sister in her bed. Rainbow Dash and Soarin arrived home and began searching for the foals. They walked to Scootaloo's room and saw the cutest scene they could ever have seen. Scootaloo was in her bed sleeping cuddled with her sister, while the two had smiles on their faces as they slept. Rainbow and Soarin couldn't help but smile. "We have two perfect daughters Soar" "Yeah, I guess I couldn't need anything else in life but you and these two wonderful little fillies" Dash then leaned forward and put his head on Soarin's shoulder. "Me neither..." ______________________________________ End.... Pregnancy PeriodA few months passed and Rainbow Dash was now 6 months pregnant. She was lying on the couch of her house with her belly extended upwards. Soarin was at Wonderbolt Academy practicing while she was on maternity leave from the academy. She started rubbing her round stomach just before Scootaloo appeared in the room. "Hi Scoots, come here" she said Scootaloo obeyed and went to her. "Yes mommy?" "Come here, stay close to me" Scootaloo smiled and then climbed onto the couch and lay down next to his mother. "Are you excited?" "Yes, I think it will be nice to have a little brother or little sister" "Oh I'm so glad you think so Scoots" Rainbow Dash said before she started rubbing her stomach again, she then looked at Scootaloo. "Do you want to rub a little?" "I can?" Rainbow nodded, then Scootaloo began rubbing his mother's stomach softly, suddenly she felt a baby kick. "Did you feel that?" Rainbow nodded as Scootaloo continued to rub his stomach and felt the foal's feet tip over his stomach. "See, I think he already loves you" "I guess so..." ______________________________________ The next day Rainbow Dash took Scootaloo to do some urgent shopping for her pregnancy. "Scootaloo can you go over there and get things from this list?" Rainbow Dash said handing the foal a short list. "Yes mom!" Scootaloo said as he ran to fetch the things his mother had requested. So Rainbow Dash met Rarity and Pinkie Pie nearby. "Hi Rainbow Dash!" The mares said "Hi girls" Dash said "So shopping?" Asked Rarity "Yeah, this little one didn't stop kicking for some food in need," Dash said looking down at her swollen stomach. "I can't wait for the baby to be born, what about Scootaloo?" Said Pinkie Pie "What about her?" "How is she dealing Witherspoon this whole little brother thing?" "I think she's coping well, at first she wasn't so much, she thought that after the baby was born Soarin and I wouldn't pay attention to her anymore, but now I think it's ok" "The imagination of children today still amazes me" Rarity said "Yes" Soon after Scootaloo returned with his mother's purchases in his mouth. "I'm back mom! Here are the groceries" "Thank you, now let's go home" ______________________________________ To be continued... Feeling Left BehindThe next few weeks were great for Scootaloo. Ok I'm lying were terrible for her. Since Raindrop was born she began to feel replaced. She tried to believe it was just a fit of jealousy but she found it difficult. She felt that her parents were farther from her now that she had a new baby in the house. "Mom, are we going to Ponyville Park together today like we used to?" Scootaloo asked her mother. "Sure, just wait for me-" Dash was cut off by the cry of a baby coming from the bedroom. "I'm sorry Scoots, but I need to take care of your sister, maybe later we'll both go out together ok?" "OK Alright..." A few hours passed and Ponyville was almost getting dark. Scootaloo was getting worried if her mom would really go out with her. "Mommy?" Scootaloo asked as he entered his sister's room. "What was Scoots?" Dash asked "Are you still going out with me today?" "Oh honey sorry, I totally forgot about that, but now it's too late ... So maybe the other day we both went out together" Scootaloo lowered his ears in disappointment. "Okay then..." ______________________________________ "Hey daddy!" Scootaloo called his father while he was sitting in the room. "Yes Scootaloo?" Soarin said "Do you want to play a new game with me?" "Sure wait just-" Soarin was cut off by his wife's voice coming from the bedroom. "Soarin, come here!" Soarin then got up and started walking toward the bedroom. "I'm sorry Scoots, maybe another time we play together" "I think..." ______________________________________ The next day Scootaloo was in the room trying to get her parents' attention, but they were too busy taking care of the baby to pay attention to her. "Mommy, Daddy!" She said but got no answer "Mom! Dad! Can you hear me?" And still remained unanswered "MOMMY, DADDY!" "What was Scootaloo doesn't need to scream" Dash said "I was calling you both a long time ago but you wouldn't hear me" "Sorry honey but we're kind of busy right now" "Of course, as always ..." "Did you say anything?" "No, I don't think so" Then Rainbow Dash and Soarin walked with Raindrop toward the door. "Where will you go?" Scootaloo asked "We'll take your sister for an appointment, we'll be right back, be good Scoots" Soarin said as he and Dash flew out leaving Scootaloo alone. ______________________________________ "So that's what happened ..." Scootaloo said as she was sitting at the Cutie Mark Crusaders club along with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. "Wow, this really is kinda boring ..." Apple Bloom said "But think about it Scootaloo, your sister is still very small, it's normal for your parents to pay more attention to her, but soon after they were a while to pay attention to you" Sweetie Belle said "Not them..." ______________________________________ To be continued... EscapeScootaloo walked through Everfree Forest looking for a place to spend the night. She was scared, hungry and cold. "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to run away, but if I go home they'll still not love me ...." She thought Then she started making a shelter with several tree leaves. When she was done she went looking for something to eat, she had found some berries in the forest, so she went back to her camp and started eating fruits. When she was done she snuggled into the leaves and closed her eyes to try to sleep. ______________________________________ "Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash called her daughter in her room but saw no sign of her in the room. "Soarin? Did you see Scootaloo?" "No sweetie, isn't she in her room?" Dash shook his head "Oh Soarin, did she run away again?" "No I don't think so ... Let's keep looking for her I'm sure we'll find her" With that the two Pegasus began searching the entire house for the missing filly, but they had no sign of her. So they went looking for Ponyville but they didn't find it either. Dash was starting to get desperate and then she started to cry. "Soarin she's not anywhere! This is all my fault, I should have been a better mother to her and paid more attention to her!" Dash said while crying, Soarin then approached her and hugged her "Dash you're not a bad mother, quite the contrary you're an amazing mother to our daughters, don't worry we'll find Scootaloo" Then two fillies came running to them "Rainbow Dash! Soarin! We hear what happened, do you have any idea where Scootaloo might be!" Apple Bloom said as she approached with Sweetie Belle "No, not yet" Soarin said "Well when one of us is kinda bad, we usually go to Everfree Forest to relax our minds, but I don't think Scootaloo would go there at that point" Sweetie Belle said Rainbow Dash and Soarin looked at each other "I have to see if she's there" Dash said "I'll go with you Dash" Soarin said "Soarin I'm to blame for this, I need to go alone" "Dash I'm as guilty as you, besides you said the same thing last time she ran away, but this time I won't let you do it alone" Soarin said as she kissed Dash's cheek, and she smiled "Ok, let's go" ______________________________________ To be continued... Finding HerRainbow Dash and Soarin flew to Everfree Forest in search of Scootaloo, they were looking at every corner of the forest but had not found anything yet. "Oh Scootaloo, my daughter where you are" Dash said "Don't worry Dashie, we'll find her" Soarin said Then the two continued their search. ______________________________________ Scootaloo woke up in the woods dying of cold when she heard a noise coming from the woods. "Who's there?" She then took a few steps back and suddenly a Timberwolf appeared out of nowhere. Scootaloo was more scared now than ever. She then ran to try to outwit the wolf but failed, so she was trapped in a dead end and the wolf was almost approaching her. "I wish my mother were here!" She said Then suddenly Rainbow Dash appeared with Soarin and the two began facing Timberwolf. They hit him several times, until finally he gave up fighting and left. Rainbow Dash and Soarin approached their daughter and hugged her tightly. "From all the mess you get in! Your father and I were so worried about you!" Dash said as he hugged Scootaloo. "I'm sorry I won't do it again, now I just wanna go home" Scootaloo said With that the three ponies returned home. Rainbow Dash was in Scootaloo's room trying to figure out why she had run away. "Scootaloo this is the second time you run away, what was the reason this time?" "I didn't mean to scare you, but as I had let you and daddy down I thought you were too angry with me and you didn't want me anymore ... You guys have been avoiding me a lot lately so I thought I was getting in the way and I thought it best you are happier with Raindrop ... " Rainbow Dash was speechless, she didn't know what to say about that. So she took her daughter and hugged her tightly. "Scootaloo if there's one thing that will never change It is my and your father's love for you, we will never stop loving you, and I'm sorry if we haven't paid enough attention to you but it's because taking care of a baby isn't an easy task you know isn't it? " "Yeah, I think I was a little selfish about that too ... Can you forgive me?" "But of course Squirt, come here" Dash then pulled her daughter into another hug. They stayed like that for a while and then Soarin appeared standing in the doorway with Raindrop in the hooves. "I was just checking to see if everything was ok and so I heard the conversation, I'm glad that everything is settled now" Soarin said "Yeah, but then Scootaloo are you willing to give your little sister a chance now?" Dash said "But of course!" Scootaloo said and then Soarin placed Raindrop closer to Scootaloo and then she began to crawl over to her sister and hugged her hull. "Looks like she likes you" Dash said "Yes ... She is" Scootaloo said and then she took her sister and hugged her. "I wasn't fully prepared to have a little sister, but I think I can make an exception for you," she said as she held the filly, and this could now be a fresh start in her life. ______________________________________ To be continued...
A New Baby?A year had passed since Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo reconciled as a biological mother and daughter. Now Scootaloo not only had a mother but now also had a father. Rainbow Dash had married Soarin about two months ago. Scootaloo was very happy to finally have a real family after all the time she was an orphan. Since Scootaloo's life was perfect she thought that nothing could get in the way of her new life. But what she didn't know was that something shocking was about to happen ... "Mommy! Daddy! I got home!" Scootaloo said as she walked into her house and greeted her parents. "Hi Scootaloo, what did you do out there?" Rainbow Dash asked as she was sitting on the couch with her husband Soarin. "Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and I were helping some ponies with Cutie Marks issues" Scootaloo said "It looks like you and your friends really enjoy doing this, aren't you small?" Soarin said and Scootaloo nodded. Rainbow Dash then looked at Soarin and they both nodded in agreement about something. "Scootaloo we would like to talk to you" Dash said "About what?" "Well would you like this family to be bigger?" "Well, I think she's big enough right? We have you, Daddy, Grandpa Bow and Grandma Windy. I think that's great enough. But for that question" Scootaloo asked a little suspiciously. "Well Scoots your mom and I actually have some news to tell you" Soarin said "Really? What's new? Wait I'll guess, maybe it's a vacation to Manehattan or maybe the Crystal Impire? Or was Mom promoted as captain of the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash laughed "It's not squirt, it's much better than a trip or a promotion" "So I don't know. What is it?" Rainbow Dash and Soarin then looked at each other with a smile on their face and then Rainbow Dash grabbed Scootaloo's hoof and put it on his stomach. "About 11 months from now you will have a little brother or little sister to play with! Isn't that great?" She said Scootaloo's face sank a little. "You are pregnant?" "Yeah, so what do you think about the news?" "Well I ... I think it's cool ... I think ..." Scootaloo said in a kind of sad tone. "What was Scoots? I thought you would be excited about the news of having a baby brother because you're so sad" Soarin said "I'm happy but ... Now that you're going to have a baby, that means you're leaving me ..." Scootaloo said with tears forming in his eyes. Rainbow Dash saw this and then she approached her daughter and caught her in her hooves. "Shhh it's alright Squirt, this will never happen, you don't have to worry about it, your father and I love you so much and we'll never replace you" Dash said in a sweet candy "Your mother is right Scootaloo, so think about how cool it will be to have a little brother, you can teach him what is right and what is wrong, you can play with him and many other things that can you imagine "Soarin said Scootaloo smiled and hugged his parents. "Maybe you're right ... Maybe it's nice for me to have a little brother or sister." ______________________________________ Scootaloo was at the Cutie Mark Crusaders club telling his friends the news. "But this is awesome Scootaloo!" Said Sweetie Belle "Yes, now you can have a brother or sister like Sweetie and me" Apple Bloom said "Yeah maybe it's cool ..." Scootaloo said "What was Scootaloo? You don't look happy" Sweetie Belle said "No I'm happy but ... I'm just afraid" "Fear of what?" "That my parents forget about me ... They said it would never happen but ... I don't know" Apple Bloom approached Scootaloo and put a hoof on his shoulder. "And they are right, Scootaloo you can't think your parents will abandon you, because from what I know of them you know they would never do that." "Do you guys think so anyway?" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom nodded. "Ok, I think ..." ______________________________________ To be continued...
The BirthFive months had passed and Rainbow Dash was now eleven months pregnant, her belly had already reached full size and her foal was near birth. Rainbow Dash, Soarin and Scootaloo were sitting in the kitchen having dinner when suddenly Rainbow Dash began to feel a sharp pain in his stomach. "Dashie?! Are you ok?!" Soarin asked desperately "I just ... I think ... It's coming Soarin!" Dash said holding his stomach. Soarin's eyes widened. "What now ?! Don't worry sweetie I'll take you to the hospital, Scootaloo go to Twilight castle and stay with her until your mother and I come back!" Soarin said and Scootaloo nodded. Soon after he ran with Dash to the hospital. ______________________________________ Scootaloo was sitting in a chair outside the delivery room with Twilight. "Do you think she'll be fine Twilight?" Scootaloo asked "Don't worry about it Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash is a strong mare I'm sure she's doing great inside" Twilight said A few minutes later Nurse Redheart left the room and went to Twilight and Scootaloo. "The birth was a success, now you can enter!" She said "Would you like to go first Scootaloo?" Twilight asked and Scootaloo nodded. Then she entered the delivery room and saw her mother lying in bed next to her father holding a little foal in its hooves. When Rainbow Dash noticed Scootaloo she smiled. "Hey Scoots come here," she said, Scootaloo then went to the bed and saw the baby more closely. "It's beautiful, is it a filly or a foal?" Scootaloo asked "You now have a beautiful little sister to play Scoots" Soarin said Scootaloo was amazed at the sight of his new sister. The baby was cyan blue, her mane was navy blue with some green, red and purple streaks, so she opened her eyes revealing to be bright green. "She's really cute, how did you decide to call her?" She said "Well we haven't decided that yet, we wanted to decide it with you, do you have any suggestions?" Dash said as he held the baby. "Well I think she looks like ... Raindrop ... Raindrop Skies" Rainbow Dash and Soarin smiled "It's perfect" ______________________________________ To be continued...
A New Little SisterA few days later, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were allowed to return home with Raindrop, Scootaloo was even calmer now that she was born. She was now going to meet her mother to teach her some flying lessons. "Hey Mom!" Scootaloo said "Yes Scoots? What is it?" Dash said "Are you ready?" "Ready? Ready for what?" "What do you mean for what mom? Did you forget that you were going to give me some flying lessons today?" "Oh that, I'm sorry Scootaloo but today it's going to be kinda hard for me to help you with that, you know I need to take care of your sister" Scootaloo lowered his ears and had a disappointed face on his face, Dash saw it then approached her and put a wing on her back. "Hey don't worry squirt, I promise I'll try to find some free time on my schedule to teach you" "Ok, Alright..." ______________________________________ The next day Rainbow Dash's friends and the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders came to meet Rainbow Dash and Soarin's baby. "Oh she's so beautiful!" Twilight said "Yes, congratulations Rainbow Dash and Soarin" Applejack said "She's just adorable, I'm sure she'll be a fashion fan when she grows up" Rarity said "I really loved her mane" Fluttershy said "Oh please can I carry her?" Pinkie Pie said Rainbow Dash then smiled and handed Raindrop to Pinkie Pie. "Hello baby! I am your aunt Pinkie Pie, and I want you to know that you are very welcome to your new home!" Pinkie Pie said "I think she's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen" Rarity said "Yes, she is. I think no other foal can compare to her" Applejack said Scootaloo was just watching from afar, she was kind of bothered by all the compliments for the baby. "So she no foal can compare to her ..." Scootaloo thought "Hi Scootaloo, your sister is adorable!" Sweetie Belle said "Yes, I bet you're loving her" Apple Bloom said "Yeah ... maybe" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle looked at each other. "Are you ok Scootaloo?" Sweetie Belle asked "Yeah ... I just ..., you saw how all your sisters and the other ponies were praising Raindrop, they even said no one compares to her. So I guess I'm nothing compared to her. ... "Scootaloo said "Scootaloo I can't believe you're jealous of your little sister" Apple Bloom said "No! I'm not jealous I'm just ..." "Are you sure?" "Yes" "Fine, if you say so" ______________________________________ To be continued...
A Babysitting Day!Scootaloo was in his room playing with his Daring Do and Wonderbolts toys when his mother entered the room. "Scootaloo?" "Yes mom?" "I'll need to go out with your dad for a while, and I'll need you to take care of Raindrop in the meantime." "Ok Alright" "I beg you to be very careful with her, don't leave her alone for a minute and don't let her eat sweet things" Scootaloo nodded A few minutes later Rainbow Dash was downstairs getting ready to go out with Soarin. "Don't worry little one, mommy and daddy are back, meanwhile you look good with your sister," Rainbow Dash said as she hugged her younger foal and put her in Scootaloo's hooves. "We'd better go Dashie" Soarin said "Yeah, I'll see you later," Dash said as he kissed his two daughters' forehead and flew out the door with Soarin. Now it was just Scootaloo and Raindrop. Scootaloo was in a situation not knowing what to do. "So ... what do you want to do?" Scootaloo asked the foal. "Baaaboooo" "I don't know exactly what that means but .... How about we meet the Cutie Mark Crusaders club?" Raindrop simply laughed "I'll take that as a yes" ______________________________________ Scootaloo took Raindrop to the Cutie Mark Crusaders club, and her friends were amazed at the cuteness of the baby. "Ohhhh but isn't she the cutest thing?" Sweetie Belle said as she stroked Raindrop's mane "Yes, I always wanted to have a little sister, you really are very lucky" Apple Bloom said "Yeah maybe ..." Scootaloo said "But then how long will you be taking care of her?" Apple Bloom asked "Until my parents come back" Scootaloo said "Well we can help her take care of her so I love babies!" Sweetie Belle said "Alright Crusaders! So today's mission is to take care of Scootaloo's little sister!" Apple bloom said ______________________________________ The Cutie Mark Crusaders spent half the day taking care of Raindrop, and they were lucky because she was such a calm and quiet baby so she didn't bother at all. Now they were at Sugarcubbe Corner eating some candy. "Wow these sweets are great, I love the candys here" Sweetie Belle said "Yeah, and Raindrop seems to be enjoying it too" Apple Bloom said as she looked at Raindrop who was overeating the candy "So Scootaloo, do you really think she can eat so many candys like that? After all she's still too small" Apple Bloom said "Yes, my mother said she can't eat salty stuff, so that's fine" Scootaloo said Shortly after eating the candy the fillies went to Ponyville Park to play a little "Ok girls let's play catch!" Sweetie Belle said "Yes let's go!" Scootaloo said "But Scootaloo, we can't play this with Raindrop here, she can get hurt playing this" Apple Bloom said "Relax she'll be fine, just put her sitting on this bench and she's fine" Scootaloo said as he put Raindrop on the bench "Scootaloo I think this is not a good idea ..." Sweetie Belle said "Don't worry girls, now let's go!" Then the three fillies rushed away to start playing with each other. Soon after Raindrop started to crawl to the end of the bench and then she fell headfirst to the floor and started crying a lot. The three fillies heard the cry and then went to the baby lying on the floor. "Oh my god Raindrop!" Scootaloo said as he took Raindrop in her hooves and began to rock the filly, but it was not enough to calm her down. "What's going on here?" Rainbow Dash said as she flew to the foals along with Soarin "Scootaloo what happened? And why is Raindrop crying so hard?" Soarin said "Well I .... I went out to play with my friends and left her sitting on the bench, I didn't know she was going to crawl until she fell off the bench" Rainbow Dash then glared at her daughter. "Scootaloo, I clearly said you were supposed to be very careful with her! You're lucky nothing much happened to her, now let's go home!" Scootaloo then lowered his ears and obeyed her mother. ______________________________________ Soarin and Rainbow Dash returned home with both fillies, so they realized that Raindrop was crying a lot nonstop. "Hasn't she stopped crying yet?" Soarin asked "No, I don't know why she's crying so hard, I've tried everything to make her stop but it didn't work out much," Dash said as he held Raindrop in her hooves. "Maybe Scootaloo knows why." "Yes, I'll ask her" Then Rainbow Dash shouted her daughter's name, and she went downstairs to see what her mother wanted. "Yes mommy?" Scootaloo said "Do you know why your sister is crying so hard? Did you give her something different to eat?" Scootaloo bit his lip "Scootaloo?" "Well I ... I let her have some candy at Sugarcubbe Corner" Rainbow Dash then gave her daughter another furious look. "Scootaloo, I told you clearly that I wasn't supposed to let your sister eat too much candy! And now she may have a very bad stomach ache, do you have any idea what this is ?!" Dash said "Sorry, I-" "Your mother is right Scootaloo, you should have had more responsibilities, now go to your room!" Soarin said Scootaloo nodded and then walked to his room. "They don't love me anymore ..." Scootaloo said crying on his pillow "Now that Raindrop is here, they don't need me anymore ... I think it's better to find somewhere else to stay," she said as she began to prepare her things. _____________________________________ To be continued...
FINALThe next few days for Scootaloo were much better, she had finally accepted the fact that she had a younger little sister, and that her parents would never leave her. "Scootaloo? Your father and I are leaving, can you stay with Raindrop in the meantime?" Rainbow Dash asked "Yes, but of course mom!" Scootaloo said Soon after, Soarin and Rainbow Dash were preparing to leave. "Later, girls, behave yourself," Soarin said as he held Raindrop in him hooves and kissed her on the head. "Come on Raindrop, today we will have a very fun day!" Scootaloo said as she caught Raindrop in her hooves "Looks like you're no longer jealous of her don't you Squirt?" Dash said and Scootaloo shook her head "I learned to love this cute thing, and yes I was wrong at first to be jealous of her..." Rainbow Dash then approached her two daughters and kissed both of them on the forehead. "We'll be back soon" she said as she walked through the door with Soarin. "So ready to have fun Raindrop?" "Mndmdmmm" Scootaloo smiled Suddenly Raindrop said something that made Scootaloo's heart melt. "S-Scoo...ta... loo ..." "What did you say?" "Scootaloo!" Scootaloo smiled then a tear began to trickle from her eyes. She then took Raindrop and hugged her tightly. And Raindrop hugged her back. "Thank you" ______________________________________ Scootaloo had spent most of the day walking and playing with Raindrop. When night had come, Rainbow Dash and Soarin had not yet come home, so Scootaloo was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face along with her sister in her bed. Rainbow Dash and Soarin arrived home and began searching for the foals. They walked to Scootaloo's room and saw the cutest scene they could ever have seen. Scootaloo was in her bed sleeping cuddled with her sister, while the two had smiles on their faces as they slept. Rainbow and Soarin couldn't help but smile. "We have two perfect daughters Soar" "Yeah, I guess I couldn't need anything else in life but you and these two wonderful little fillies" Dash then leaned forward and put his head on Soarin's shoulder. "Me neither..." ______________________________________ End....
Pregnancy PeriodA few months passed and Rainbow Dash was now 6 months pregnant. She was lying on the couch of her house with her belly extended upwards. Soarin was at Wonderbolt Academy practicing while she was on maternity leave from the academy. She started rubbing her round stomach just before Scootaloo appeared in the room. "Hi Scoots, come here" she said Scootaloo obeyed and went to her. "Yes mommy?" "Come here, stay close to me" Scootaloo smiled and then climbed onto the couch and lay down next to his mother. "Are you excited?" "Yes, I think it will be nice to have a little brother or little sister" "Oh I'm so glad you think so Scoots" Rainbow Dash said before she started rubbing her stomach again, she then looked at Scootaloo. "Do you want to rub a little?" "I can?" Rainbow nodded, then Scootaloo began rubbing his mother's stomach softly, suddenly she felt a baby kick. "Did you feel that?" Rainbow nodded as Scootaloo continued to rub his stomach and felt the foal's feet tip over his stomach. "See, I think he already loves you" "I guess so..." ______________________________________ The next day Rainbow Dash took Scootaloo to do some urgent shopping for her pregnancy. "Scootaloo can you go over there and get things from this list?" Rainbow Dash said handing the foal a short list. "Yes mom!" Scootaloo said as he ran to fetch the things his mother had requested. So Rainbow Dash met Rarity and Pinkie Pie nearby. "Hi Rainbow Dash!" The mares said "Hi girls" Dash said "So shopping?" Asked Rarity "Yeah, this little one didn't stop kicking for some food in need," Dash said looking down at her swollen stomach. "I can't wait for the baby to be born, what about Scootaloo?" Said Pinkie Pie "What about her?" "How is she dealing Witherspoon this whole little brother thing?" "I think she's coping well, at first she wasn't so much, she thought that after the baby was born Soarin and I wouldn't pay attention to her anymore, but now I think it's ok" "The imagination of children today still amazes me" Rarity said "Yes" Soon after Scootaloo returned with his mother's purchases in his mouth. "I'm back mom! Here are the groceries" "Thank you, now let's go home" ______________________________________ To be continued...
Feeling Left BehindThe next few weeks were great for Scootaloo. Ok I'm lying were terrible for her. Since Raindrop was born she began to feel replaced. She tried to believe it was just a fit of jealousy but she found it difficult. She felt that her parents were farther from her now that she had a new baby in the house. "Mom, are we going to Ponyville Park together today like we used to?" Scootaloo asked her mother. "Sure, just wait for me-" Dash was cut off by the cry of a baby coming from the bedroom. "I'm sorry Scoots, but I need to take care of your sister, maybe later we'll both go out together ok?" "OK Alright..." A few hours passed and Ponyville was almost getting dark. Scootaloo was getting worried if her mom would really go out with her. "Mommy?" Scootaloo asked as he entered his sister's room. "What was Scoots?" Dash asked "Are you still going out with me today?" "Oh honey sorry, I totally forgot about that, but now it's too late ... So maybe the other day we both went out together" Scootaloo lowered his ears in disappointment. "Okay then..." ______________________________________ "Hey daddy!" Scootaloo called his father while he was sitting in the room. "Yes Scootaloo?" Soarin said "Do you want to play a new game with me?" "Sure wait just-" Soarin was cut off by his wife's voice coming from the bedroom. "Soarin, come here!" Soarin then got up and started walking toward the bedroom. "I'm sorry Scoots, maybe another time we play together" "I think..." ______________________________________ The next day Scootaloo was in the room trying to get her parents' attention, but they were too busy taking care of the baby to pay attention to her. "Mommy, Daddy!" She said but got no answer "Mom! Dad! Can you hear me?" And still remained unanswered "MOMMY, DADDY!" "What was Scootaloo doesn't need to scream" Dash said "I was calling you both a long time ago but you wouldn't hear me" "Sorry honey but we're kind of busy right now" "Of course, as always ..." "Did you say anything?" "No, I don't think so" Then Rainbow Dash and Soarin walked with Raindrop toward the door. "Where will you go?" Scootaloo asked "We'll take your sister for an appointment, we'll be right back, be good Scoots" Soarin said as he and Dash flew out leaving Scootaloo alone. ______________________________________ "So that's what happened ..." Scootaloo said as she was sitting at the Cutie Mark Crusaders club along with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. "Wow, this really is kinda boring ..." Apple Bloom said "But think about it Scootaloo, your sister is still very small, it's normal for your parents to pay more attention to her, but soon after they were a while to pay attention to you" Sweetie Belle said "Not them..." ______________________________________ To be continued...
EscapeScootaloo walked through Everfree Forest looking for a place to spend the night. She was scared, hungry and cold. "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to run away, but if I go home they'll still not love me ...." She thought Then she started making a shelter with several tree leaves. When she was done she went looking for something to eat, she had found some berries in the forest, so she went back to her camp and started eating fruits. When she was done she snuggled into the leaves and closed her eyes to try to sleep. ______________________________________ "Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash called her daughter in her room but saw no sign of her in the room. "Soarin? Did you see Scootaloo?" "No sweetie, isn't she in her room?" Dash shook his head "Oh Soarin, did she run away again?" "No I don't think so ... Let's keep looking for her I'm sure we'll find her" With that the two Pegasus began searching the entire house for the missing filly, but they had no sign of her. So they went looking for Ponyville but they didn't find it either. Dash was starting to get desperate and then she started to cry. "Soarin she's not anywhere! This is all my fault, I should have been a better mother to her and paid more attention to her!" Dash said while crying, Soarin then approached her and hugged her "Dash you're not a bad mother, quite the contrary you're an amazing mother to our daughters, don't worry we'll find Scootaloo" Then two fillies came running to them "Rainbow Dash! Soarin! We hear what happened, do you have any idea where Scootaloo might be!" Apple Bloom said as she approached with Sweetie Belle "No, not yet" Soarin said "Well when one of us is kinda bad, we usually go to Everfree Forest to relax our minds, but I don't think Scootaloo would go there at that point" Sweetie Belle said Rainbow Dash and Soarin looked at each other "I have to see if she's there" Dash said "I'll go with you Dash" Soarin said "Soarin I'm to blame for this, I need to go alone" "Dash I'm as guilty as you, besides you said the same thing last time she ran away, but this time I won't let you do it alone" Soarin said as she kissed Dash's cheek, and she smiled "Ok, let's go" ______________________________________ To be continued...
Finding HerRainbow Dash and Soarin flew to Everfree Forest in search of Scootaloo, they were looking at every corner of the forest but had not found anything yet. "Oh Scootaloo, my daughter where you are" Dash said "Don't worry Dashie, we'll find her" Soarin said Then the two continued their search. ______________________________________ Scootaloo woke up in the woods dying of cold when she heard a noise coming from the woods. "Who's there?" She then took a few steps back and suddenly a Timberwolf appeared out of nowhere. Scootaloo was more scared now than ever. She then ran to try to outwit the wolf but failed, so she was trapped in a dead end and the wolf was almost approaching her. "I wish my mother were here!" She said Then suddenly Rainbow Dash appeared with Soarin and the two began facing Timberwolf. They hit him several times, until finally he gave up fighting and left. Rainbow Dash and Soarin approached their daughter and hugged her tightly. "From all the mess you get in! Your father and I were so worried about you!" Dash said as he hugged Scootaloo. "I'm sorry I won't do it again, now I just wanna go home" Scootaloo said With that the three ponies returned home. Rainbow Dash was in Scootaloo's room trying to figure out why she had run away. "Scootaloo this is the second time you run away, what was the reason this time?" "I didn't mean to scare you, but as I had let you and daddy down I thought you were too angry with me and you didn't want me anymore ... You guys have been avoiding me a lot lately so I thought I was getting in the way and I thought it best you are happier with Raindrop ... " Rainbow Dash was speechless, she didn't know what to say about that. So she took her daughter and hugged her tightly. "Scootaloo if there's one thing that will never change It is my and your father's love for you, we will never stop loving you, and I'm sorry if we haven't paid enough attention to you but it's because taking care of a baby isn't an easy task you know isn't it? " "Yeah, I think I was a little selfish about that too ... Can you forgive me?" "But of course Squirt, come here" Dash then pulled her daughter into another hug. They stayed like that for a while and then Soarin appeared standing in the doorway with Raindrop in the hooves. "I was just checking to see if everything was ok and so I heard the conversation, I'm glad that everything is settled now" Soarin said "Yeah, but then Scootaloo are you willing to give your little sister a chance now?" Dash said "But of course!" Scootaloo said and then Soarin placed Raindrop closer to Scootaloo and then she began to crawl over to her sister and hugged her hull. "Looks like she likes you" Dash said "Yes ... She is" Scootaloo said and then she took her sister and hugged her. "I wasn't fully prepared to have a little sister, but I think I can make an exception for you," she said as she held the filly, and this could now be a fresh start in her life. ______________________________________ To be continued...
