High School Ponies

Chapter 6: Flightless Day

Somewhere else in Ponyville, Featherwieght finds himself changing the diaper of the doll in the kitchen, whom he found out that it was a colt and the name he gave it is Jade.  At first he didn't mind the work.  But after a week he is a bit aggitated that Scootaloo isn't helping him.  He even has to use a mane clip to plug his nose to avoid the smell.

After he was done, he hears a voice behind him

"Whew, what is that smell?"

Feather then turned around and he sees his dad whom is an yellow earth pony with a dark brown mane and tail with a camera as a cutie mark.

"Nothing dad, except my project needed changed."

"Isn't your partner is supposed to help you?" replied his dad with a concerned look

Featherwieght sighs and says "Yeah, she is but she didn't seemed interested in doing it with me."

"What's this that I hear that a fellow student doesn't want to help?"

Around the corner came an cream colored pegasus with a blue mane and tail with a tornado for a cutie mark.

"Why yes Solar Wind, I think Feathers partner is refusing ot help him."

The mare, named Solar Wind laughs and says "Well then High Shot, what should we tell our son to do?"

High Shot then says "Well then he should go to her house and talk to her."

All Featherwieght could do is shake his head and say "Alright mom and dad, I'll go see her and talk to her."

He then put on a baby carrier saddlebag on and put the doll into it and was about to head out when his mother says "Hold on dear, please put on a scarf."

Her mother grabbed a black and white scarf from a closet and wraped it around Featherwieghts neck to which he says "Mom, I don't need a scarf."

"Oh come on son, I heard ist going to be cold tonight and that you should be prepare for anything."

"Dad!  Tell mom I don't need one."

High Shot just laugh and says "Sorry son, she can be a stubborn one when it comes to these things."

All Featherwieght could do is sigh and allowed his mom to put it on him.  After she put it on he then went outside and was walking towards Scootaloos home when he sees Rumble and Dinky pushing a carriage and it seems like Dinky likes doing what they are doing and Rumble is walking beside her with a wing wrapped around her.  He then smiled and then flapped his wings and flew off towards the only cloud home in the sky.

Soarin is in the kitchen wearing an apron cooking lunch which is some sandwiches and a few drinks.  He then heard what appeared to be the door being knocked on and then he heard Dash say "Hey Soarin, could you get that, I'm still holding the baby."

Soarin then sighed and remembered the day that Rainbow Flash was born and they had there hooves full when he was born like he never wanted to be put down, for the first month he was flying all over the place and it was also hard on Scootaloo even if she is still happy of being an aunt in someway.

He then went to the door and when he opened it, he sees an young stallion with an baby saddlecarrier that seems to have a doll in it that resembles a baby foal.  Then the stallion says "Hello, is Scootaloo here?"

After Featherwight said that, he then noticed that the older stallion has an apron on that says Kiss the Cook along with a heart underneath it. "Well yes she is here," said the stallion "would you like to come on in?"

"Sure." said Featherwieght

As soon as he entereed, his first thought of the house is that it is bigger then it looked and that he and Soarin went down a short hallway which led into a small room that has a couch on one side and another doorway that led to what Featherwight assumes is the kitchen.

Featherwight then sees Rainbow Dash on the couch with a young colt on her lap.  After she looked up, she says "Hello there Featherwight, you here to see Scootaloo?"

"Yes miss Dash." said Featherwight nervously

"Please, no need for the miss, that makes me sound old." said Dash

Soarin then laughs and says "Well now, I'll go get Scootaloo."

"Alright then."

After Soarin left, Featherwight then sits down and says "So, how is Scootaloo?"

Dash then gets a worried look and thinks for a minute until finally she says "She's doing fine, except that she has trouble in school."

"Wow."

Featherwight then sees a sad look on Dash's face and sees that her son seems sad so he quickly said "So where did Soarin get that apron?"

All of a sudden, Dash's face lit up and she says "Well, I got that for him for his birthday a couple years ago and he always wears it when he cooks."

After a while, Soarin comes down the steps and says "Well Featherwight, she is willing to see you in her room."

Then Featherwight gets up and walks up the stairs and after he is goin Dash says "So how is Scootaloo?"

Soarin then turned to her with a worried look and says "Well, she seemed pretty down right now and I hope Featherwight can help her."

Featherwieght went upstairs and sees that there is a few doors.  One of the doors is open which he can tell is the baby foals room by all the toys on the floor and a crib.  Another door seems to be the masters bedroom and all it has is a bed and some cabinets.  When he finds what he assumes is Scootaloo's room.  When he knocks, a voice behind it says "Come in."

Featherwight then opens the room and sees what kind of room is like.  There is a few posters of the Wonderbolts, mostly of Rainbow Dash and Soarin, there is even a few cabinets and a scooter with a helmet.  He then sees Scootaloo laying on a small bed that has a wonderbolt blanket on it.

"What do you need Feather?" said Scootaloo with a stern look

"Well, I just thought you want to help me with this project that we were supposed to be working on."

Scootaloo sighs then sits up on the bed and says with a hint of anger "Why, its just a doll nothing would matter."

"But don't you want to pass school?" said Featherwieght with some concern in his voice

"Whatever, so what if I don't pass what's the worst that could happen?"

At first Featherwieght didn't have an answer until he sees what appears to be a signed photo of Spitfire alongside Dash and Soarin along with her.  He then dicided to take a chance by saying "I'm sure Dash and Soarin would hope that you pass."

Somehow, this made Scootaloo get a confused look and says "How so?"

"Well, don't you want to be a Wonderbolt or something like that?"

Scootaloo puts a hoof to her chin then says "Maybe."

Featherwight then smiles and says "Great, so how about it?"

But then Scootaloo gets an angry look and says with a bit of sterness "But that still doesn't explain why you seem to care for me."

Featherweight then gets a worried look and thinks "Ponyfeathers, what should I tell her?" While he is thinking, Scootaloo is tapping her hoof on the bed and getting a even sterner look.  Afte a while she says "Know what, if you can't answer that then you should probably leave and take that doll with you."

She was about to lay back down when Featherwight shouted "Because I like you!"

Scootaloo then gets up to look at him and she sees that he has his hooves to his lips.  She then gets a surprise look and says "Wait, you like me?"

"Well, no turning back now." thought Featherwieght "Yes, I do like you, I liked you for some time now and well, I was also hoping that this project would help me get to know you better."

Both of them then sat there for what seems like hours.  Until Scootaloo says while rubbing the back of her head "Wow, just wow."

Featherwight then gets a sad look on his face.  So he then decided to say "Yes Scoots, I like you because you are wonderful, charming, cute and you have amazing flying skills, but I'll understand if you don't feel the same way about me."

He was about to leave until Scootaloo said "Wait!"

Featherwieght then turned around with a bit of hope in his eyes.  When he did Scooatloo says "Well, first off no other stallion or colt ever said those things about me and well, maybe I could grow to like you too."

Featherwieth then smiled and says "Thanks Scoots, hope I prove worthy of your love."

Scootaloo then smiled and says "Will see."

After that, Scootaloo looks at the doll and says "So, what is our childs name?"

Featherwieght then picked up the doll and says "His name is Jade."

After he hoofed it over to her, somehow the doll reated to her and cuddled up to her which made Scootaloo think it was kindof cute.

Meanwhile, downstairs Saorin and Dash heard all that and both of them listened to hear if anything else happened.  When they heard nothing more Soarin says "Well, seems like Scootaloo has a coltfriend."

Dash laughs and syas "Lucky for him."
