Hello, my name is Scootaloo and this is my story/diary. I hope you enjoy an insight into my life.
I trudged up the staircase to the front door of the house, my bruises hurting from the fight I had just been in. I knew what was coming next as I sighed and opened the front door, dropping my schoolbag by the pile of shoes.
"I'm home!" I yelled out as I made my way up yet another staircase towards my room. As I reached the top I was intercepted by my mum who saw my bruises and started freaking out, calling my dad to come and have a look at them.
"What happened Scoots?" They asked. I sighed as I sat down.
"I got into another fight today after school with the bullies, just because I can't fly.." I said, trying not to show the tears in my eyes.
I knew what was going to happen, so I started packing my bags.
Ten years after been born and raised in West Fillydelphia, I was been sent off to Ponyville to live with my auntie and uncle. Sighing again, I took one last look around my room.
Deep down I knew that it wasn't going to be any different, and that I would still be teased for not been able to fly and not having a cutie mark. "Hopefully I'll be able to make some friends.." I said quietly into the room, praying Celestia would hear my plea.
A few hours later, I found myself on the train to Ponyville to start out a fresh life, though there was one thing to look forwards to.
It was approaching the thousands Summer Sun Celebration, which would be held in Ponyville in a weeks time. Exciting right? Wrong, all it is, is Princess Celestia raising the sun on the day of banishing Nightmare Moon.
Yawning, I soon fell asleep, watching the scenery flashing by the window.
I was woken up by the train slowing down as it pulled into the Ponyville station, where my new life awaited me. Stepping off the now-stationary train and onto the platform, I collected my luggage and proceeded out the door into the small town, where I was suddenly greeted by a pink smiling face that gasped, and just as suddenly disappeared. Rolling my eyes as the mare vanished, I unfolded my scooter, a farewell gift from my parents and started to ride towards where I would be staying, thinking about the crazy pink mare.
*****************************************************************************************
I learned from my "Welcome to Ponyville!" party that night that the crazy pink mare was called Pinkie Pie, and she was the local party planner and a baker at the local sweet shop Sugarcube Corner. I soon learned from her friends that it is best not to question that mares logic and physics.
As the party droned on I saw a few other fillys about my age, but never got to talk to them, because at that moment, my aunt called me over to meet the head of the local weather team. I soon saw an awesome looking mare who was introduced to me as Rainbow Dash, pretty much the only pony in this whole party who looked cool.
I was about to ask her a question, when all of a sudden she disappeared as quick as Pinkie had appeared, asking me if I was enjoying her party to which I nodded, not wanting to be rude.
Sighing, I decided that I had enough partying for one night, and went upstairs to my room to try and get some sleep. As I climbed into bed I wished that this would all get better.
The next morning, I woke up and went downstairs to get some breakfast only to find my aunt and uncle already sitting at the table waiting for me. As I sat down at the table with my breakfast to begin eating they explained to me their situation.
"Scootaloo, as members of the guard, we won't be around to help you, however, we will be home for dinner each night and breakfast in the mornings. Other than that your on your own here, sorry, but we have enrolled you in school, and you will start tomorrow." They explained to me, and I nodded as needed.
After finishing breakfast I grabbed my scooter and helmet, stopping quickly to say goodbye, before zooming off to explore the small town of Ponyville and see what everypony was up to, preparing for the Summer Sun Celebration. After a few hours, I got bored and decided to set a small obstacle course on some open land, near my aunt and uncles house.
It didn't take long before I was zooming around the course, my wings fluttering as they propelled me along. Stopping after what seemed like 5 minutes I looked up to see the sun setting, and realizing it was getting late, I scooted of to the house. Well, I guess time flies when you're having fun!

Kudos to all those reading, once again constructive criticism is welcomed so feel free to comment below. Also 5 mustaches to whoever can guess the main reference in this chapter.
My excitement of getting a new friend was short lived, no sooner had we become friends, we had to go home as it was the end of the school day. Riding along on my scooter I got home pretty quickly only to find a royal guard waiting out the front of the house. I slowly rode up to him before stopping.
"Scootaloo Flashchaser?" the guard asked and I nodded. "Is it okay if I come inside and talk to you?" I nodded again starting to get an uneasy feeling in my stomach.
I unlocked the door and put my stuff down, waving a hoof for the guard to follow me to the lounge room. We both took a seat with him on the other side of the room to me and before I could what this was about he started speaking.
"Scootaloo, I am truly sorry I am the one to have to tell you this, but your Aunt and Uncle were killed today by a mad unicorn, while they were on duty, investigating a domestic violence case." The guard said with a sad look on his face. I just sat there in shock, I had barely been in town for 48 hours and my aunt and uncle had been killed during their work.
After a while the guard cleared his throat and said he needed to be getting back to work and that he would send someone else to check on me later, in the mean time though I was to go and get some sleep. I complied, but while I was trying to get to sleep, I cried, I cried alot. My guardians had been killed doing their work to earn money to put a roof over our heads and food on the table, I wondered how I would cope now.
After a while I eventually drifted off to sleep and woke up a few hours later with a knocking at the front door. I eventually pulled myself out of bed and down stairs to open the door to find a guard there with two unicorns one of which I recognized as the friend I had made earlier in the day. I invited them all inside to find out what was happening
The guard was here to check up on me to see how I was doing and the two unicorns had seen the guard and had come over to investigate why the guard was there. After a bit of talking the guard asked me and the little unicorn to go upstairs to play for a bit.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to introduce myself before, my names Sweetie Bell" the unicorn said "the other unicorn is my big sister Rarity" she added on and I nodded.
"I'm Scootaloo" I replied slowly, "thanks for saving me earlier from those bullies, they would beat me up big time if you hadn't saved me"
"It's no worries, just try to avoid them, they like to pick on everybody" Sweetie Bell replied and I smiled.
"Hey want a ride on my scooter, I think I have a spare helmet somewhere" I asked to which Sweetie replied;
"Sure I'd love to" Grinning at her reply we rushed down stairs and crashed into the guard and Rarity making all of us pile up in a heap.
"I'm sorry I said as we got up, we shouldn't have been running inside." I said in apology as the guard replied,
"Don't fret Scootaloo, Miss Rarity have talked and come to an arrangement, if it is okay by your parents in Fillydelphia, Miss Rarity has agreed to look after you until more permanent arrangements can be made."
"uh okay, I'm sure they will be okay with that, but what will I do in the meantime? " I asked wondering what was going to happen to me "Miss Rarity has decided to stay here the night to watch over you and incase you were wondering my name is Feather Shield" the guard replied.

So sorry I haven't updated in a while, school and writers block and the such has kept me busy. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as I don't know when the next one will be out
School Days and Bullies in store
I hate going to school, especially a new school.
Today was no different, get up, have my breakfast, have a wash, grab my stuff and ride to school. I stood nervously waiting for the teacher to call me into the classroom to introduce me to the class. Nervous as I was, I was actually kind of excited for what new adventures awaited me inside the school house.
From inside the classroom I heard "Now, may I please introduce you to your new classmate, Scootaloo Flashchaser." Taking my cue, I entered the classroom and stood up the front as the teacher called my name. I stood there nervously looking around the classroom as the teacher, Ms. Cheerilee, I think her name was, asked if any of the students wanted to show me 'round the school. To my surprise, two fillies raised their hoofs, who I gathered to be named Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. I gulped, getting a bad feeling about what was going to happen next.
At recess the two fillies lead me to a far corner of the school yard where they started to interrogate me over my wings and lack of cutie mark, as one of them was about to poke my bruise from my last fight a small white unicorn charged into them shouting "Leave her alone!" before I ran back to the schoolhouse. Hopefully she would be okay on her own, handling the two bullies.
Sitting at my desk, I almost began to cry when a squeaky voice said "Want to be my friend?" I looked up, saw the unicorn who tackled the bullies, and nodded.
