Who Are You And What Have You Done With Scootaloo? - A Scootaloo Love Story

Oct. 18 10:17PM:

Today’s Friday. I’m allowed to stay up until eleven because I don’t have school tomorrow. Tomorrow me and the girls go crusading. I introduced them to Rain. They… Don’t much care for him, but he’s coming crusading with us! How cool is that?! Well, also, I got some crap from Diamond Tiara and her Minion. Her minion is Silver Spoon, but she’s more of a minion than a friend, so I call her “Minion”. So, anyway, those two and, surprisingly, Minion’s little brother Silverware ganged up on us while we were talking in the hall.

“So, Scootaloo. You finally found yourself a coltfriend? I never thought an ugly filly like you could ever get one, but…” she stopped to get a good look at him. “…I see he’s equally ugly. I’m disappointed though. Associating yourself with an earthy” she spat hatefully and bucked him in the knee. Not too hard, but enough to make him fall. I began to back up. Silverware stopped me. I had known Diamond to be this hateful before. You see, “earthy” is the racist term for “earth pony”. Really, she could’ve been expelled for that kind of language, but I’ve learned not to mess with her.

Thankfully for both of us, Ms. Amethyst Star, or "Ms. Star" as she likes to be called, walked up as she was backing me into the corner. She looked at the three of them, me standing in the corner, well, maybe cowering, Rain on the floor in pain, and magic-floated the three in the air. As Diamond Tiara's screams of "You can't do this! Do you know who my father is?!"

After her screams of defeat on lawsuit threats faded into the principal's office, who is just Miss Cheerilee in a different room, I helped Rain to his feet. He limped on his injured leg to the nurses office.

As it turned out, he just had a type of Charley Mare in his leg. A Charley Mare is a cramp in the back part of your leg or hoof. Named after Charley Rack, a griffon doctor that came up with names for all sorts of cramps, pains, and parts. I know that because science is one of my strong suits.

"Owwww... Who was that?!" Rain groaned

"Diamond Tiara. The school brat and bully"

"Yecch. At my old school, the bully was a colt. Speaking of which, why would she call me your coltfriend?"

"I have no clue. We're just friends, right?"

"Right. And by the way?"

"Mm?"

"I don't think you're ugly"

"I don't think you are"

"But I am!" we said in unison. We then broke into fits of laughter. Nurse Silverstream walked in with a roll of bandages under her wing.

"Alright, you're going to want to keep off that leg as much as possible. What happened?" she asked in a nasally voice.

"Diamond Tiara..." he turned to me "... That's her name, right?" I nodded. "Diamond Tiara called me an earthy and kicked me in the leg" he explained.

"Miss Star took her away to Miss Cheerilee's office" I added

"That Diamond. She's sure to get expelled eventually. Cheerilee's letting way to much slide" Nurse Silverstream muttered as if to not let us hear. She failed.

After school, I caught up with Sweetie on her way to Rarity's Fashion Boutique. Rain was with me. I had introduced him to Applebloom earlier. They both had the same reaction:

"Oh, um... Nice to meet you, Rain Chaser"

And he'd say the same thing to the both of them:

"Nice to meet you! Please. Call me Rain. And you are?"

And they were both hesitant with an answer. What's gotten into those two? I'm probably going to milk some answers outta them later. In fact, even Fluttershy was kind of nervous when we passed her on the way home. Well, she normally is nervous, but... More so. Like she was genuinely terrified of him. Except back that off a bit.

I'm going to go clean off my scooter before bedtime. And possibly try to fix it. The wheel no longer aligns with the handle bars.

More later.
