Chapters I'm Scootaloo and Whoa I'm not in Control
My name is Andrew Ng, and I am a young man who is still currently living with his mother and father. My family and I live in a small 2 level house in the west side of the city of Edmonton. It is not the most fancy community. Apparently a lot of retired people live around there. The community is pretty much at the edge of the city. So I suppose, it has it own rustic charm.
I currently work as a cashier in a Safeway store, it can get hectic. For me however it got even more annoying as the week became the length of an entire year. I'm gonna say this, as I'm almost 100% certain but I think, Discord had a hand or is it a paw?, in all of this whole mess.
Usually before I go to work I like to watch MLP FIM. For one thing my mother understands and is okay with me being a Brony. My father has the opinion that any male who watched MLP FIM is a person with a few screws loose. Then again he believes, if someone is surprised they are complaining. And for the most part I listen to whatever he says cause I knew that if I didn't, and started arguing back, his temper would go to the boiling point, and he would start slapping me with full force about 5 times in the same spot.
Anyway After I got back from my shift at Safeway, which in this case was a 5 P.M to 11 P.M shift, I was so tired I ended up going upstairs and passing out on my bed. The night before I had set my alarm clock for 7:30 A.M since I had an 8:30 A.M to 1:30 P.M shift the next day. Ironically I had forgotten to put the alarm on.
When I awoke the next day, which was Marsday, even though I had forgotten to turn on my alarm clock, I ended up waking up at exactly 7:30 A.M. Sleepily, I say to myself while my face is buried in my memory foam pillow, (Well I guess I should get up, as I recall Mom has already left for work and Dad left at about 7 this morning, to help my older sister Allison, with her Craft Show called Handmade Mafia.) That's when I notice something is amiss my security pillow, which I always hug before I go sleep was a lot larger this morning, and my already decent sized bed seemed, quite huge this morning. That's when I realize for some reason I can't feel my hands at all. That's when I notice I have an orange hoof instead of my hand. Seeing as I am still not fully awake, I mumble something along the lines of "I hope I can see a Sonic rainboom today."
That's when recognize the voice I had just yelled in. Worried at what I might see, I slowly turned my head towards my left side, which had directed my vision to the large mirror in my room. I didn't see my reflection in the mirror at all, instead I saw the image of Scootaloo of the CMC.
I manage to say in Scootaloo's voice, "What the heck? This must some kind of a strange dream. Well time to wake up, I'd better pinch myself." Since I now didn’t have hands at all I ended up getting my hooves tangled inside my blanket, and I fall off the bed and land in my laundry basket head first.
I hold my head with my front hooves, trying to soothe the pain of falling on my head. After about 5 minutes or so, I put two and two together and it had hit me, like a ton of bricks. That’s when I realized that the news report about Laureen Faust becoming Princess Celestia, while Tara Strong becoming Princess Luna, was real. I had thought it was a clever way to promote the show, and that random bronies were becoming ponies was a cover up,
My eyes widened in realization it will be physically impossible to wear my Safeway uniform, since I obviously can't fit in it anymore. I yell out loud "Darn it I will have to call them and tell my boss that I'm not feeling well." I look up and the phone is attached to the wall. Seeing as I can't fly I'm forced to move the footstool so I can reach it, however since I'm now in the body of an 8 year old filly, my stamina and physical strength has been diminished by a decent amount, but its no biggie as I'm sure I'm still strong enough to move the stool, after all my 4 year old niece can lift and move it.
I manage to reach the phone and make the call, I was redirected to customer service and, it picked up by the Manager Dave McBride. Dave yawned a little while saying sleepily, "Hello this is Dave McBride may I ask who's calling?" I respond in Scootaloo's voice "Umm Hi Dave, its Andrew, I won't be able to come to work today. Probably not gonna be able to come in for aout a week or two." Dave replied, "Umm May I ask why Andrew?" I sweat-dropped and reply "Umm I don't have hands at the moment?" Dave had his suspisions, about the situation, "You turned into one of ponies on the news didn't you?" I answer my boss by saying "Yeah I did Dave, I just hope its not an issue" Dave chuckled a little, "No Andrew it is not an issue at all, I can see why you need the time off. Once your human again call me, okay?"
After I made the call to work I could swear I could hear Scootaloo's thoughts inside my head, since I am still getting used to how a pony walks I end up tumbling into the walls, as well as tripping on trips both going up and going down the stairs. I do however pack some granola bars and nonperishable foods into my old laptop case. I also slip my wallet and the garage door opener into the front pocket.
After I finally understand how my new legs work I get the garage door open, and when I do I look around for my old scooter I used when I was a child, it was roughly the size of the Scootaloo used in the show.
After I remove the Scooter, it turned out my father's giant Blue 6 foot long Crayola Crayon Piggy bank was placed in between the scooter and the wall, and it set the crayon falling right towards my head, and the result was I got knocked unconscious. Let’s just say it did not feel good, as it really hurt a lot. When I awakened I realized my body is using the Scooter, the bad news is I don't think I'm in control. It had turned out the result of getting knocked out by the gigantic novelty crayon piggy bank, made my mind and Scootaloo's mind, let's just say they swapped places.
That's when I hear a female voice, and the voice is very familiar, its of the orange, pink maned pegasi whose body I'm currently sharing at the moment. She is currently using my or, rather her wings to move the Scooter up and down the street. She had obviously noticed that it was cold outside, since it was clear that it was cold enough to snow, so Scootaloo ended up fitting into my 4 year old Niece's old coat. It was a good thing that my niece had recently outgrown the coat.
Scootaloo looked around in wonder, while oohing and awing at things she had never seen before, before saying, "Wow so this is an interesting world you have. Your kind has all sorts of neat things, some that we do have and some we don't have in ponyville, like that big metal cart in your garage.” I realized what Scootaloo was referring to, so I said, “I see you are talking about my mother’s car.” Scootaloo has never heard of a device called a car before. So she ends up asking me, while she is jumping about “What is a car and how does it move?” Personally I knew very little about cars, so I replied, "Well this is a different world than the one you used to be in, but we do have similar things I guess. Personally for the car beats me I don’t have a clue how a car works, all I know is that it has an engine, which makes it go, " Scootaloo not was completely excited, nor was she satisfied with my answer. She grumbled, "I guess so, but how come you don't have pegasi clearing the clouds away. Are they being lazy?" I mentally facepalm and answer, "Well Scootaloo the thing is the clouds in this world are more like the ones in the Everfree forest.” Scootaloo was rather confused about this, so she asked, "But what about Pegasi and Unicorns?" I explain to her by saying, "Pegasi and unicorns in this world are only in ancient legends, mostly legends about gods, goddesses and magical, dangerous monsters like the Medusa."
I could tell what Scootaloo was thinking. Since we basically shared the same body, I can tell the face reactions, and in this case I could tell Scootaloo was getting interested. I sigh, and say "The Medusa is a monster that has a mane made of snakes." Scootaloo was a bit, or should I say pretty scared of the mention of the word snakes. She ends up saying, with excitement and fear in her voice "Snakes as her hair? That's gotta be dangerous, not to mention poisonous. Why I'll bet that's why she’s dangerous!" I laugh a little. After I had finished my laugh I say "Not too sure about the mane-snakes being poisonous, but that's not the reason why its so dangerous. Do you remember the monster, I believe it is called a Cockatrice?" Scootaloo starts shaking a little as, she did not want to be reminded of that experience "Yeah one almost got me, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. That was when we were being babysat by Fluttershy, and we were chasing her chicken in the Everfree Forest, why do you ask?" That’s when I say to her, "The Medusa is a monster who was known to have what is known as a stone gaze, if you were to look into her eyes, she turns you to stone. According to the legend the hero Perseus had defeated the Medusa by using a polished shield, the helm of darkness from Hades, so he could be unseen by her. After he had successfully snuck up to her, he then sliced off her head with a sword. After which his friend who was a Pegasus gave him a lift to the castle." That explanation made Scootaloo gasp in fright, as the monster did sound a lot like a cockatrice.
Oh Yummy Onion Soup for Lunch
After Scootaloo’s joyride through the neighborhood, Scootaloo made the Scooter and herself go through the large hole in my family’s wooden fence. The Hole was created when my father was smashing rocks with the sledgehammer. Let’s just say his accuracy wasn’t perfect. It was a good thing that fence connected to the backyard. I or rather, should I say Scootaloo, was beginning to get hungry. I’m not too sure how, but somehow even though Scootaloo is in control, I seem to have become a voice inside her head that is allowing me to give her advice.
I say to Scoots “Without food in our stomach we probably won’t be able to think correctly.”
“Your name was Arnie wasn’t it?”
Since at the moment I don’t physically exist as we are now sharing the same body, and I became the dormant being, I had to mentally facepalm, and I sort of yelled, “No my name is Andrew, not Arnie!”
Scootaloo started to get a little frightened with my tone, “S-S-Sorry”
I tell Scootaloo “Its not a big deal, I already forgave you.” Needless to say I felt terrible because Scootaloo is only a filly, and thus a child.
Scootaloo began to wonder about the lone human shaped plush doll that was on the dining room table, so Scootaloo asked me “Andrew?, What is this thing?”
I realize Scootaloo is referring to my plush of Axios so I tell her, “Scootaloo this, is my plush of Axios. He’s a magic swordsman from one of my favorite electronic games.”
Scootaloo was thinking about what I just said “Electronic games, so you humans can control weather like us pegasus can?” I guess I have to explain to Scootaloo a bit more about humans.
I say “Scoots humans don’t have the ability to manipulate weather, however we do have technology than can harness certain parts of the weather.”
Scootaloo then asked me, with wonder in her eyes, but also with sadness in her voice “Aww, but didn’t you have any special skills at all?”
I start to think, and the one odd thing I can do is well, rather odd. I sigh and say,
Scootaloo starts sniffing the air, a wonderful delicious scent was detected.
My father has a habit of making interesting foods inside the pressure cooker, heck he has even made banana bread inside it, how it can do that, I will never know.
I explain to Scootaloo “That smell is my father’s homemade onion soup”
It was a good thing Dad had set a bowl of the soup ready for me to eat. It was a good thing the soup had cooled down, so there was no risk of getting burned.
Scootaloo pushed the stool that was under the kitchen table to prop herself up on top of the chair. Seeing as ponies in the show could use utensils, I’m not surprise in the least.
Scootaloo stuck the spoon into the soup and began to eat it, since we now share the same body, I could feel what emotions she felt and thought. However Scootaloo could feel my emotions as well. I have some very erratic emotions. I have a bad habit of switching from one emotion to another emotion without warning, since it didn’t really help I’m a bit bipolar. I said to myself “This is great I will be able to help Scootaloo anytime she is feeling scared or confused.”
In Scootaloo’s mind “Wow Andrew wasn’t joking, this soup is great”.
After about 10 minutes or so, Scootaloo had finished the bowl of soup, and she let out a contented sigh.
I laugh to myself and ask Scootaloo “Did you enjoy the soup?” Scootaloo responded by saying, “Yes” while she had a huge smile on her face.

Scootaloo's Nightmare [editied]
~-~-~-~-~- Chapter 3 -~-~-~-~-~[Note this chapter is what Scoots is during her worst nightmare ]
After the delicious Lunch Scootaloo, was getting sleepy and she crashed out on the large Green leather couch in the living room.
As for myself, I was wondering if any of my nightmares will ever effect Scootaloo, well only time will tell. Ironically I then think back to the horrifying nightmare I had recentlySCOOTALOO's POV
"Ugh, where am I? I don't remember going on vacation to a large valley with a pair of mountains." I note aloud as look around. I’m on a path surrounded by bare trees from the winter cold, and it was almost dark out. I probably should have been home hours ago. Although this area doesn’t look familiar at all.
I walk down the trail, when I see the road turned into four completely different paths, each in a different direction, excluding the path I had just came from. Each path had a different sign, but however on each of the signs the letters are badly smudged and impossible to read.
I sigh and decide to take the path to the right hand side. After I’d walked down the path to my righthoof side, in that particular path, I found out that it lead to a dead end and a box full of fruit seeds. I place the seeds in my saddlebag and walk back the way I came.
As soon as I make it back to the area, where I can choose the paths, the path I just came back from disappeared, or rather tree branches covered it making it impossible to go back.
I say to myself, "Okay, I choose the left path."
I start walking down the left path, however this particular path was full of large rocks. I started climbing the rocks. Some dust stirred and it caused me to sneeze rather loudly. However I ended up sneezing loud enough that the largest boulder began to roll towards me.
I screamed out in fear, while I ran I yelled out “Holy Cheese on Rye!”. I had hoped I was fast enough to evade the boulder, but it was in vain. The boulder was constantly gaining speed, and when the boulder hit me, it sent me flying. Fortunately the boulder sent me flying safely right into a pile of freshly fallen snow in a field.
There were snow ponies everywhere in sight, save for passed the treeline where the boulder had hit me.
The sight was beautiful, but seeing this made me think to myself “If there are snow ponies there must be ponies who live around here.”
I approached one of the snow ponies, and that was when I noticed that it blinked
"What the Hay?" I said to myself. I knew for a fact that snow ponies cannot blink
I then heard an devilish cackle say "So you saw me blink? Well then in that case, I will need to silence you little Filly"
I then realize it was the snow pony who said that. I put two and two together and now realize that they are the legendary monsters known as Snow Wraiths, that like to freeze their victims, keeping the bodies as trophies.
I then tried to franticly gallop to the north passage, but more of the snow wraiths blocked that path. Needless to say, I couldn't continue down that direction, so in desperation I tried galloping down the path down to the south. However I was too heavy and I fell, or rather sank into a large hole. As I fell down the hole I yelled very loudly “What the Hay!”
And then I remember a bit of pressure on my head before everything went dark.
After regaining consciousness and getting back up I now realize, I was not in a good place at the moment, since I had fallen into a home of a snow wraith.
The home itself wasn’t that bad looking, there was a small kitchen with a few small tables set around the area, least but not least was there a few beds in the living room, as there was no upstairs level.
I turned around and saw a female snow wraith who spoke softly to me, but with a creepy chill in her voice she had said "Well now I don't get many visitors, although none of my previous victims were as cute as you are though"
she points to her trophies and I see the bodies of AppleBloom, Sweetie Belle and even my idol Rainbow Dash’s body was there
In pure terror I scream out, "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
at that moment she put her hoof on me and I started to lose feeling in my body, and soon darkness came
[REAL WORLD]
That was when I woke up all covered with fresh sweat. Seeing as I was on the bright green leather couch I had fallen asleep on earlier. That was when I realized it was a nightmare I thought to myself “So that whole adventure was a horrible nightmare, least this means Rainbow Dash and my friends are still alive.” But the dream kinda traumatized me, as I was still shaking, as this nightmare was the worse nightmare I ever had.
Author's Note
Based off a nightmare I had recently
After Scootaloo, had that horrible nightmare, a large book fell with a thud onto the living room floor.
Scootaloo asked me "Andrew what the hay was that?!" I respond to her "Oh that was just the album with photos of myself growing up."
Scootaloo asks me with eagerness "Can we look plesae?"
I respond "I don't see why not."
[Note this chapter has flashbacks to my childhood and some of my Misadventures growing up]
So we begin to look through the album, when Scootaloo see's a photo of me as a baby, and I was holding a rattle in my mouth and she asks me "Andrew is this baby you?" I chuckle nervously and say "yes"
[Flashback]
I crawl around with the rattle in my mouth trying to imitate the family dog Nickkie, My mother comments "AWW look at Andrew pretend to be a puppy!!!"
[Back to present ]
Scootaloo asked me "Andrew did you really pretend to be a dog?" I answer her question by saying "Yup"
[Flashback]
I say to my friends "I think we should find a bathroom fast", one of my friends then suggests "Why don't we try the school, after all I don't want to use a bush."
10 minutes later we broke into the school through the roof and set off the alarm and the police came
Young me "Ummm hi officer did we do something wrong, we just wanted to use the bathroom, since we no want to use bush."
Officer "I can let's this one go since you obviously didn't know you were breaking laws, but for next time what you three did is called Breaking and entering and it is a punishable offense.
[back to real life ]
Scootaloo "Hahahah that was really a boneheaded move Andrew." I responded by saying "Yeah, it wasn't one of my smarter moments, but don't forget I was just a little kid then, I didn't know it was against the law at the time."
Next we come to a picture of me next to batch of freshly baked Naiamo bars
[Flashback]
After I baked them for my dad;'s birthday I was so proud until he took a bite of one and found it super salty and he glared at me and said "Andrew?, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU PUT IN THESE ?!" I looked at the ingredients and face palmed myself. In reality, It had turned out I goofed and put in an incorrect item into the bars, instead of Grahame cracker crumbs, I had accidentially used a bag of shake and bake, and the sweet dessert was completely ruined.
[Present Day ]
Scootaloo "Well umm what is shake and bake Andrew?" I explain to Scootaloo that shake and bake, is a mix to make crispy baked meals, like for example if you were to make a coating for potato skins and stuff, and it tends to have high amounts of salt in it. Scootaloo nods and understands "I can imagine it must have stated awful." I nod and say "Ugh I can still remember that awful flavour."
The next picture was when I was 10 and I was next to a girl Iliked named Bernadette and I was holding a garden hose
Bernadette "Andrew let's play kay?" Young me "Sure Bernadette let's play." Unfortunately I forgot I was holding the hose and the window was open and I ended up flooding the living room
Dad "Andrew did you do this?" Me "Ummmm NO!!!, it was the ummmm spruce tree." Dad "Nice try, I'm not falling for that mister wise-guy."
[Present Day]
Scootaloo "Man, that is a lot like the crazy stuff the other's and I do to get cutie marks."
Uh -Oh I've Been Fillynapped!!!
Scootaloo sighed as she was now getting quite bored staying in the house and currently my consicous mind had decided to have a nap.
So Scoots makes our body sneak out my dog's doggy door to the left side of the house, where she rides my Scooter, however we were not aware that a human practioner of evil magic was following us.
POV Switch [Curse Witch]
The dark cloaked figure following the young filly said this in her mind "Hmmm, well now, a Pegasus filly, some of my best curses do need pegasi saliva to actually work, in theory I could turn my brother into a toad, imagine if he on a date and he suddenly turns into a toad Hee hee." "Well she is turning a corner now into the next street I'll use my knockout curse to knock her out here goes" [Chants archaic Ancient words]
POV Switch [Scoots and Me]
Scootaloo starts feeling faint "Ugh what's going on I-I" Thud!
Pov Switch [Curse Witch]
"Hee hee, the curse worked splendely now to take her home and I can extract some of her saliva HAHAHAHAH"
3 hours Later
Scoots and Andrew
Scootaloo asks me "Andrew where are we?" I reply "Beats me, I have no idea either, but I do see magic symbols all around us"
A mysterious Voice then says "Why your in my room, and I intend to take some of your saliva so I can cast a toad curse on my stupid idiotic little brother" Scootaloo yells out "Who the Hay are you?!"
The voice then says "I forgot that part didn't I, I'm Sarah, I practice curse magic nice right?" Andrew thinks in his mind "Hmmm, that voice sounds familiar, wait I know who she is now, I knew her in High School!" I look at her physical features, and holy cow, she has changed a lot, she used to be a shy girl who loved flowers and wanted to be a mortician."
How Will I/Scootaloo escape find out next time
View Online
The Escape and the 3 doors and the repeating room
As you recall last time, Scoots/I got fillynapped by a demented human witch named Sarah. I and Scootaloo, are attempting to try and outsmart her and make our Escape
Scootaloo "Andrew what is the witch lady pony, I mean person doing"? I look at where she is I don;t believe what I am seeing, she had tripped on a cardboard box and she landed inside the basement bathtub, and she is currently knocked out.
Andrew "Scoots, she knocked herself out, and apparently she is rather stupid, as she did not even bother to tie us up"
Scoots "BWAH HAHAHA What an Dork she is!"
Scootaloo tries to open the basement door, but it is locked, seeing as I am paniking, I try to pick the lock, and to my surprise it works.
However as soon as I pass through the door, I am now in a hallway with 3 different doors, thankfully they are not locked, however I do not know which door to go through, so I close my eyes and pick a random door and open it, when I reopen my eyes, I see a room with a pony/man eating pastrami on rye sandwich, and deduce it must one of Sarah's experiments, the sandwich noticed me and starts licking its chops.
I scream out "Uh, Oh!" and I shut the door
I then try the middle door next, and it lead to a box, thinking it hold a clue, I open it and find a key in the shape of a triangle
after I try the left door and the key its the lock and the door opens and leads to a room with a door at the other side.
I open that door, and it leads to a room that is the same as the room I was just in, after 7 or so tries, I realize something isn't right and leave through the door I just came from, to my surprise the door led outside, and the house I was in suddenly vanished
I was safe for now at least, I now realize that the so called "House wanted my and Scoots Souls and if we didn;t escape we would become one of the stone statues in the house.
Author's Note
Yeah this idea for this chat came somewhat from "Are you Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Whispering Walls"
Scoots and the Plushies, madness ensues!!!
After looking through the photo album Scootaloo witnessed some of my childhood misadventures, and some of them were just crazy stupid. Let's just say it makes the time she tried Zip-Lining look like a walk in the park.
Scoots then began to wonder, how I knew so much about her and Equestria. Personally in my mind, I was getting nervous and currently sharing her body with her being dominant. I say to Scoots "Well its kind of hard to explain, but in this universe your world is a T.V show called My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and a T.V show is well like an animated play."
Scootaloo asks me this "Andrew, if you are a fan of this umm show, you must have stuff right?" I answer her by saying "If by stuff you mean merchandise, then yes, I collect handmade pony plush doll, which I have spent at least 1000 dollars on." Scootaloo blinks and asks me "But Andrew what the hay is a dollar?" I then feel so stupid I end up saying "Dang I forgot, Equestrians use bits as money not dollars, Scoots a dollar is a money unit, so basically I have spent over 1000 bits on pony plushies, and I will show you all of them, they are in my room upstairs." Scootaloo excitdily says "Sure I wanna see them"
5 minutes later Scootaloo enters my room and sees my whole pony collection on my bed however one of the plushies has made her rather angry. You will see why
The ponies plushies are these ponies. Pinkie Pie, rarity, Spike, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, 4 Fluttershy plushies [One is her as a filly and another is her wearing her element], Lightning Dust, Octavia, Trixie, 2 Lyra plushies [one is a beanie bag], a Bean bag Derpy Hooves, Princess Luna, 2 Applejack plushies [one is wearing her Gala dress], and 18 inch Spitfire plush, Scootaloo herself, 2 sweetie Belles [One of which was made rather badly as the head is falling off], AppleBloom and Diamond Tiara
As you can probally guess Scootaloo was rather pissed at the Diamond Tiara Plush
and she yells at me "Andrew, why in the hay do you have a plush of that ugly WITCH!!! ?" I answer "Well nopony ever asked to make a plush of her and most ponies would take it as a challange see what I mean?"
Scoots relunctanly says "Yes I do, but I still hate her guts."
Author's Note
Yes in real Life I have all those Plushies
And Yes I do have one of Diamond Tiara [Don;t know if anypony except me does though]
