Finding Scootaloo

"Scootaloo,  are you ready to go home?" Scootaloo heard a nurse ask.

"By home you mean the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse" Scootaloo thought to herself. You see, Scootaloo didn't have a family of her own, so she secretly slept in their clubhouse at night.

"Scootaloo, did you hear me?" the nurse asked again.

Scootaloo nodded, "Yes ma'am."

"Good, now just wait for your parents to come pick you up."

Scootaloo gulped. "My parents?!" she thought to herself, trying to come up with a lie. She smiled slightly when she had thought of one.

"My parents are at work today, so would you mind if I walk myself home?" Scootaloo asked innocently.

The nurse looked concerned, "Well, I don't know. You've been out for sometime and I don't want you having an accident on the way home."

"Oh no, ma'am, I feel much stronger today". Scootaloo lied

The nurse examined her. "Are you sure?"

Scootaloo nodded, "Mmhmm."

"Very well then, I will go get your medicine from the doctor. You wait in here" the nurse said as she left the room.

Scootaloo smiled, for she had a plan. She already knew she would not be needing any of her pain medicine. She had a way to make this all go away. A way for her to be normal again, and the answer was.... Twilight Sparkle.

Suddenly the nurse came in and interupted her thoughts, "Here you go Ms. Scootaloo" she said handing the little orange pegasus a small white bottle. "Take one pill a day as needed"

Scootaloo smiled, "Thanks" she said.

The nurse smiled pleasantly, "Well, you're free to go. Remember, take it easy. And if you experience any pain or discomfort, have one of your parents bring you in."

Scootaloo smiled and nearly leaped out of bed, she wasted no time. She immediantly ran out the door headed for Twilight.

"I know Twilight can fix me" Scootaloo thought to herself, "She can use her magic to make my wings normal, then I'll be able to fly just like Rainbow Dash!" The little orange pegasus was full of excitment that it took her no time to get to Twilight's library. She walked up and knocked on the door. When it opened, a pink pony walked out.

"Thanks for the recipe book, Twilight"

"No problem, Pinkie Pie. Just remember to bring it back... It's my only copy."

Twilight was about to close the door when she noticed the little orange pegasus. "Why hello, Scootaloo. What can I do for you?"

Twilight invited her in. Scootaloo sat down on the couch and told the purple unicorn the whole story.

"So you think it could work?" Scootaloo said hopefully.

Twilight looked concerned, "I don't know...."

"Oh please, Twilight! You have to try! I want to be normal again!" Scootaloo said frantically.

"Normal? Sweetie, what's wrong with you now? Sure you can't fly but that makes you special... Unique." Twilight replied.

"But Twilight! I'm a pegasus! I'm supposed to fly. And if I can't fly then- then I can never be like Rainbow Dash! A-And my Rainbow and my friends will think I'm weir-" Scootaloo suddenly bursted into tears, "P-Please Twilight..."

Twilight stared in concern at the sobbing little filly. Twilight thought hard, knowing nothing she'd do would work. But, she hated seeing anypony like this, let alone Scootaloo. She got up and grabbed a book titled. A Medical Guide for Unicorns. She opened it and looked up disibilties, found the section and read:

"Though magic can cure so many things, disibilities that a pony is born with is one that magic has no power over. The pony must learn his or her differences and take the appropriate procautions."

Twilight looked over at the sobbing Scootaloo and gulped. "Looks like this is something even I can't fix."
