Ponyville, crossroad bridge
Scootaloo
0900hours, march 25, 2001

Scootaloo and cheerilee took crossroad bridge. Scootaloo had a melancholy fondness for this bridge. She felt like this was a turning point in her life. Scootaloo smiled as cheerilee wrapped her hoof around her. Scootaloo looked at a part of the bridge that she stood at and now had a railing around it stopping anyone from getting on it.

What, when was this fenced off?” scootaloo asked confused

My dad talked to a celebrity who has some political standing, and he had this fenced this off.” cheerilee said. Scootaloo stopped and stared at the spot. Cheerilee looked at her. She walked up to back to scootaloo and held her hoof. Scootaloo smiled and they both walked home.

Ponyville, crossroad bridge
0500hours, October 13, 1997

Cheerilee was walking home from the post office. She decided to take a shortcut across the new bridge. As she walking she saw a filly on the edge of the bridge. Chreeilee saw the filly was bleeding from her muzzle and her wings was at an unnatural angle. She revoked know how sensitive Pegasus wings are. She also looked at how unkempt her mane was Chreeilee ran to help the filly. Chreeilee got a good look at the filly; she was beautiful but she couldn’t focus on that at that current moment.

Are you ok?” chreeilee asked her in a concerned voice.

No, I’m not but don't worry I’m going to go all away soon.” the filly said in a deadpan

What do you mean?” chreeilee asked her once more.

That doesn't matter, no one cares what happens to me anyway.” the filly stated sadly

What not that not true there's always someone out there that cares about you, you just need to meet them.” chreeilee stated

No, no one cares, I’m nothing to nobody I just a waste of space.” the filly cried. Tears fell freely down her cheeks as she stepped forward. Chreeliee stepped closer to the filly, “WAIT.” chreeliee blurted out.

“What do you want” the filly yelled tears still falling

“I just want to know how you got here.” cheerilee asked trying to keep her from jumping

“I ran away from my mom when she stopped hitting me.” the filly said

“That's awful.” chreeilee was disgusted knowing what it like to be hit by a parent

“Yeah, I deserved it, it's my fault.” the filly blamed herself

“What, how did you deserve it?” cheerilee asked

“I fell down and landed on her hoof, it was my fault” the filly said

“No, it isn’t your fault you fell, it was an accident.” cheerilee stated

“then why does my mom and dad always say it is?” the filly asked voice shaky

“Maybe because they hate you.” cheerilee said without thinking. Her eyes widen, realizing what she had said

“So not even my parents love me like I said no cares.” the filly said tears fall harder as she step the last step one left and she will fall to her death

No, someone does care.” cheerilee yelled in desperation

Who?” the filly asked with a bit of hope

I do” cheerilee stated.

How, you don’t even know me?” the filly she said in a low toun

I would like to know you” cheerilee said give the filly a comforting smile

“What?”

“No pony care because they don't know you but I want to, I want to care about you.” there were pauses the filly looked down at the fall and she backed away a little. “look don’t do it for me do it for yourself you deserve better than this.” cheerilee said to the filly as she extended her hoof towards her. The filly looked at cheerilee with a gleam in her eye; this clearly mattered to her. The filly thought on her words for a bit then she grabbed cheerilee’s hoof and came down to the road. Cheerilee hugged the filly and asked her name.

“Scootaloo” the filly said.

Well scootaloo, let's get you clean up and you can stay with me for the week.'' Cheerilee offered.

Thank you.” scootaloo said with a happy to have someone who cares

Ponyville, scootaloo aunt’s house
1000hours, march 25, 2001

Shock was looking after lighting. he playing Picabo with lighting. Lighting would tilt his head and when shock would move his hoof away from his face, lighting booed his muzzle. Shock chuckled to himself as he heard the front door open and saw scootaloo and the mare from early walked in. shock made eye contact with scootaloo there was an awkward silence for what felt like an hour. Cheerilee walked up to shock.

“Look, I’m sorry for what we-”

“Save it, look I don't know what you two are but whatever it is keep it to yourselves.” he said in a harsh toun.

Scootaloo looked down sadly at what she was hearing. Shock looked at scootaloo and his face changed releasing how rude he sounded. “No that not wha-”

“I-I know what you're going to do, so just get it over with.”scootaloo said looking down with a mix of anger and sadness on her face.

“What do you think I'm going to do.” he asked dropping his previous sentence

“You're going to hit me, insult me, and then leave me, just do it,” scootaloo had a shaky voice

I’m not going to do that. I didn't mean it to come out that way, I just don't want to see it. Plus, hope will kill me if I do anything like that.” shock told scootaloo

What, who’s hope.” scootaloo questioned

Not important, and I’m not going to do anything. you can like whoever you want to but don't expect me to like it.”

“What” scootaloo was confused.

Scootaloo he means it's fine with it as long it's not in front of him.” cheerilee said

Yes, and scootaloo you’ve proven yourself and that's all that matters.” shock said. Scootaloo smiled and hugged him, tears falling down her face. “Wo scootaloo you don’t have to hug me I just said its fine.”

Scootaloo lost a lot of friends when she started dating me, so we try to keep it a secret.” cheerilee told him

Sorry to hear that.” shock told Scootaloo. She let go of him and picked up lightning who was crawling towards her. She kissed him on the forehead. Cheerilee’s phone rang and she answered it.

“Hola papi que está pasando” Cheerilee asked her father.

“¿Estás con Scootaloo? Necesito decirle que necesito que venga al club.” her father said on the phone

“Está bien, le digo que te amo papi” cheerilee hung up and turned to scootaloo. “Scootaloo my dad wants to see you at his club. Also he didn’t say it but you might need some extra help.”

I’ll go with you scoots.” shock said

Yeah lets go wait did you just call me scoots” scootaloo asked

Yes I did.” shock said

Ponyville, Chicas Guapas

Shock followed scootaloo to an alleyway as he looked at the building he saw a mare in lingerie, panting on the wall. Scootaloo walked behind the building and She knocked on the back door. Shock walked up to and asked her a question he had. “Why are we at a strip club?”

“Because cheerilee’s dad owns it. He also the gang leader for the trebols” scootaloo explained

“Okay, I’ll try not to piss him off” shock said

The door opened and there was a green earth pony led them in. scootaloo saw Gran Dinero sitting there looking at shock. Gran glared at him for a bit before he put his attention on scootaloo. She was looking at her hooves, forgetting that she still had the pink and black sleeved shirt. “Hola Scootaloo tenemos una pequeña situación” gran told scootaloo

What the problem” scootaloo said

“Hay un grupo de milicias llamado Los Lavados, han estado atacando a mis yeguas y no podemos soportar eso, lidiar con eso. ve a la ciudad de las cebras, pregúntale a mis trabajadores de streat que te señalen.” gran ordered her.

Ok we're on it.” scootaloo respond

Ah, y la CMC está aumentando sus patrullas en las calles buscando a alguien, así que estén atentos.” gran warned

Thanks for the heads up.” scootaloo thanked him. Scootaloo and shock walked out the same door as they came in. scootaloo told shock what they were doing. And they both walked off to zebra town.

“So scootaloo you know mexicolts” shock asked her

“I picked it up. I hung out with chreeilee’s family a lot” scootaloo said

“Do they know you two are” he question

“No and their not going to find out.” scootaloo stated
