Scootaloo wasn't quite sure what she expected when she found a letter from her "secret admirer" asking to meet her after school, but it wasn't an invitation to the school dance. Nor was it spending Hearts and Hooves Day with Silver Spoon.

Scooter never quite shook his anger towards his schoolyard bullies, even a year after they all graduated. At eighteen, he still finds himself with obviously clouded judgement and a simmering anger he can't quite explain. As he sets out one day in the hopes of clearing his mind a little at the local skate park, he finds himself thinking back to his years dealing with his tormentors.

Upon reaching the park, however, he finds his thoughts catching up to him as he sees a familiar stallion. Though he tries to keep himself controlled, a few sharp remarks quickly send him over the edge. With his anger boiling over and the source of it so near, things can't turn out well, right?

Critics Welcome!

So, here we are, a little story inspired by a song I heard recently. Also inspired by how freaking little these two are shipped at all! *ahem* Yes, it's a shipfic, and yes, it's r63 ScootsxSpoon.

Oh, and don't worry, I didn't forget anything. Just keep reading.

Despite facing loss and hardship, Scootaloo never completely gives up. Silver Spoon is used to having anything she wants or needs given to her. When the two end up together, both learn about a world they'd never really seen before.

While this story is marked incomplete, it is subject to changes and revisions until I'm finally satisfied with it. Until that time, you are a pre-reader. You're getting an early look at an unfinished work, and if you have helpful feedback I find useful, I'll be sure to mention you in the credits of the last chapter.

After Scootaloo's Father; Sky Fire passed away while serving in the army she has no family to turn to,

And nobody to call her mother, Scootaloo has been living with Rarity while her father was on his tour of duty...

Will she live through this? or will someone show her there is always a silver lining?
