//-------------------------------------------------------// The Mysterious Birthmark -by BRD- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// One day...... //-------------------------------------------------------// One day...... A 20 year-old man named Scooter (not the Muppet) was about to take a shower when he saw something he didn't see before. It was a weird birthmark that looks like a paintbrush. Its on his lower hip. He remembered that he never had a tattoo or a birthmark before now. He tried to wash it off but it wouldn’t wash off. So he finished up, got dressed and checked his mailbox. In the mailbox he found a strange elope without a return address so he opened it and readied it. “Dear Scooter, You may wondered why you have a birthmark on your hip and how it got there. I explain it to you tomorrow. From: C” After he readied it he went to work on a panting he was working on for the past week. After three hours he was ready for bed. He put on his PJs and he felled asleep. When he woke-up the next morning he wasn't in his room and its looks like he was in a throne room. He saw horses that dress-up like guards and a white horse that had wings and a horn on its forehead. The strange horse spoke, “Good morning My little pony. My name is Celesta.” He look down and noticed that he was a pony not human. But somehow he felt normal like he was a pony to begin with. Celesta spoke "Your name is Scooter, correct?" He answered the question and Celesta said "Good I thought I got the wrong pony." Scooter was about to ask her something but she cut him off. Celesta continued "You whir taken by Discord at a vary young age and now you are back home Prince Scooter." He asked what the odd Birthmark was. She answered "That is called a Cutey Mark, A Birthmark that tells you what your special talent is." Scooter asked "So my special talent is Painting?" She answered "Looks like it." He asked her how she found him. She answered "When you got your Cutey Mark, I felt it and used my magic to bring you here." Scooter walked up to Celesta, give her a hug and said "Thank you, mom". She said "Your welcome son". Just then Discord appeared and said "well well well a family reunion I see." He chuckled and continued "Well I be going now just know I will be keep an eye on you." He vanished a soon as he came. Celesta said "Scooter I have to ask you to go live with Twilight." Before Scooter said anything Celesta cast a spell to send him on his way. Meanwhile in Pony ville Twilight was working on her studies when a flash of light stuns her and Scooter appeared. Before she said anything Spike coiffed up a letter and hand it to Twilight. It readied: "Dear Twilight, I send my long lost son Scooter to live with you (and to hide him from Discord) I would like you to look out for him and teach him how to be a normal pony. Your Teacher and ruler Princess Celesta. P.S. Think of it as test of Friendship" After Twilight readied the letter she introduce herself to Scooter and asked where he was from. He replied "I'm from Butte MT, USA". Twilight then asked where is that. He explained everything that happened up to this point. Twilight then asked "Do you what to meet my friends?" Scooter with nothing else to do said "Sure I don't see why not". So Twilight showed her new room mate/friend around Pony ville until they bumped into Flutter shy. Flutter shy got startled and jumped dropping her bags of grocery's Scooter and Twilight helped Flutter shy picking up her bags. Flutter shy said: "Thanks.... Twilight and um.... I sorry can you tell me your name if that's OK with you." Scooter introduce himself and apologized for startling her. and she said: "that's OK Scooter I know you didn't mean it." Then a blue bluer zoomed at them and stopped. It was Rainbow Dash and she asked who Scooter was. he introduce himself. Rainbow Dash asked: "Looks like you have strong wings; what to race?" until now Scooter didn't think he had wings. He look back to check that he did in fact had wings and there they are on his side are wings. Scooter didn't know how to fly so he said "No thanks". Rainbow Dash shrugged and flue away. Twilight and Scooter vised Rarity, Pinky Pie, then Applejack. Twilight and Scooter gone back to Twilight's Library for the night. Twilight showed Scooter where a bathroom was and where he was going to sleep. Scooter said goodnight and went to sleep. He dreamed that he was at home panting when suddenly Discord appeared and made a mess in his house. Until Luna Zapped him and helped Scooter clean up. She Introduce herself (by yelling of course.) Scooter asked "Aren't you my ante?" Luna answered " Yes I guess so; you must be Scooter." And told him what her sister said about him. She left his dream and Scooter woke up, ate breakfast, brushed his teeth, and stared to draw a portrait of himself. Then Twilight walked in and looked at it and said "Wow I didn't know that your good at making art." Scooter said "You know I have a Cutey Mark that looks like a paintbrush right?" Twilight and Scooter both giggled at each other. Scooter asked Twilight if any pony she knew of could tech him how to fly. Twilight suggested to try asking Rainbow Dash or Flutter shy. First he asking Flutter shy but Flutter shy not vary good at flying so said that she can't help. So he try asking Rainbow Dash and said "Sure but you better keep up." After a few weeks of flying lessons Scooter can fly vary well. Then Scooter did some odd jobs to earn bits to buy a pant set, some canvases and a place to work. After a few mouths he had enough bits to get a small studio to work at. The End Author's Note This is my first story. Enjoy P.S. Spelling is not my thing.
