“I can’t believe it…”

If there was ever a single phrase to sum up that day, that was it.

But what happened that day after the events regarding Score and her power-mad father?

Well let us enlighten you.

It all started; as mentioned; the morning after everyone got back. During this time, Rainbow Dash was at Wonderbolt Practice.

Scootaloo; not wanting to be outdone by her idol; spent all day yesterday figuring out how to fly. She had some struggles until Pharynx helped her out. Now; while still not as skilled of a flier as the one she sees as her surrogate sister; the Orange filly has actually begun flying in her free time. And today was no exception.

In fact, Scootaloo managed to fly all the way to Rainbow’s house where she entered.

“I can’t wait to show Rainbow Dash my flying progress. I bet she’ll be thrilled!” Scootaloo said and saw that Dash’s bedroom door was open. She went inside and saw a room decorated with wonderbolt posters, mostly of Captain Spitfire as the sole focus or the main focus. “Wow, Dash sure looks up to Spitfire the same way I look up to her.” Scootaloo said and soon found a diary/journal. “I didn’t know Rainbow kept a diary.” She said and began reading.

Pegasus Moon Day 15

So hey there diary.

…Okay that is dumb; saying hello to a book I’m writing in. Mom just got you and everything but…

I have to have someplace to write my thoughts after I earned my Cutie Mark today.

Wish I knew where Fluttershy went though.

Pegasus Moon Day 19

Found Fluttershy in some town called Ponyville. She’s doing just fine.

Gonna stick around Cloudsdale until I’m 17 and then I’m out of here. Hate those darn bullies.

Had my Cutcenera today at least. That was a good thing.

Dark Mook Day 3

So what’s up? It’s been a while diary of mine. Things have been swell…sort of.

I’ve been feeling weird since 5 days ago after getting drunk in a bar. Forgot what happened that day. If things continue into tomorrow, will go see a doctor.

Dark Moon Day 4

So as it turns out, I’m perfectly normal. Perfectly normal for a pregnant mare that is.

So it seems I got wasted and bred. My parents want to have me signed up to have the baby aborted. Buck that noise, I’m staying over at Flutter’s place until the baby is born. Because I ain’t letting this child of mine get bumped off just because I was irresponsible about it.

Sun Moon Day 10

So about that ten month waiting period? It’s just the average. I spent eleven months at Fluttershy’s place. ELEVEN MONTHS! Also, food cravings and mood swings abounded me. Had the baby at least. I gave her a name: Scootaloo. Fluttershy wanted me to name the baby “Scootsaloop” but I decided to compromise with her. Besides, “Scootaloo” sounds more awesome. And more me.

But buck my parents. As soon as the baby was born they found me and took my baby Scootaloo away from me.

Buck them, I’m getting a job and saving my bits to move out to Ponyville pronto!

Celestia Year 999

Cold Moon Day 4

Hey it’s been a while again. Moved out of my house and now am on my own. Took you with me of course. Buck my parents. I want to find my kid, but right now I need to get me a new job and get situated here in Ponyville. They were all too happy to sell me this cloud house for dirt cheap.

Dark Moon Day 8

Today I saw a familiar coat of orange running about Ponyville. I think my eyes were playing tricks on me. No way that was my baby.

Dark Moon Day 9

It was. It was her. The moment she told me her name was Scootaloo, it took everything I had not to tell her the truth right then and there. I simply introduced myself and played it cool. And now she idolizes me. Great. But now I can make up for not being in her life so much if only a little bit. I need more time before I truth bomb her.

Sun Moon Day 16
Yesterday I became friends with four new ponies because we purified Princess Luna and now Scootaloo really wants to be like me. She’s my child alright.

Twin Sisters Year 5

Dark Moon Day 5
Been a while. So after much training I’m finally in the Wonderbolts. Won’t be around as much for Scootaloo but I’ll be fine.

…Screw that I’m not fine. I’m less then fine.

After practice tomorrow, I’m gonna tell her the truth.

Although Scootaloo, if your somehow reading this right now, please know it was my parents who made you go away. Not me. Buck your grandparents so much. Your awesome and don’t you dare forget it.

And…I’m proud of you squirt. I’m proud of the pony you’ve become. I want so bad to tell you when I come home tomorrow about the truth and show you this journal so bad that it’s killing me.

You just stay cool and awesome for me, okay my little Scootaloo?

Mommy won’t ever leave your side again

That was the last entry; which was written yesterday; and now Scootaloo had to process everything.

“Rainbow Dash is my mom…” Scootaloo said. She suddenly smiled. “BEST. DAY. EVER!” The Orange Pegasus shouted as loud as she could.

“Scootaloo, is that you?” Rainbow Dash said before she found Scootaloo looking at her diary. “Oh…um…” Rainbow Dash began before the Pegasus filly suddenly glomped her.

“MOMMA!” Scootaloo shouted.
