//------------------------------// // Ch. 15 Happy Endings // Story: Scootaloo's Years // by Broneyofnoel //------------------------------// A filly with a dark grey mane and a blue coat, the filly that Peachy had described, walked through the door carrying her saddlebags. As she walked in, she noticed Peachy and ran up and nuzzled her. "Peachy, I was really worried," the filly's voice reminded me of a mix of a younger Princess Luna, "I forgot to tell you the time for our next time meeting each other." "It's okay, my friend Scootaloo helped me find you here!" Peachy pointed to me, Ending's gaze followed. "Thanks Scootaloo," Happy gave me a hug. "No problem!" I said as she broke the hug. "So, what are y'all doing here?!" Happy said excitedly. "We never really said anything about a second date," the two fillies were smiling as Peachy spoke. "Sorry Peachy, I forgot, I'm really new at this whole dating thing," Endings said. "Same here," Peachy said somewhat sadly. "Maybe we could go to FillyDelphia's town square and have a date there," Endings suggested. "I have the perfect place for you two to have a date!" I said excitedly, the three fillies in the room turned their heads towards me. "Where?" Endings questioned me. "It's right off the square, it's a really nice diner style place," I said happily. "Hmm, could you show us where on a map?" Peachy questioned, the two other fillies nodded. "Yeah, it's hard to miss." "I'll get my map, and then you can show the two of us where it is," Endings said as she went into her beside drawers. After the unicorn moved the items in her table around for a few moments, she pulled out a folded map with her magic and placed it on the table. She opened it and took out the creasing with another spell. "Here's my map of all of FillyDelphia, now, there square's over here," Endings pointed to a rather large section of the city that was filled with shops. "Let me see..." I looked around the map of FillyDelphia for the street that the diner was on. Once I located the street, I slid my hoof along it until I found the labeled diner, once located, I showed the other fillies. "I think I've hear of that place, the worker there is a student here," Endings said, trying to place hi name. "Yeah, his name's Drizzle," I said as a matter of factly. "Well, that sounds like fun, what do you think Peachy?" Endings looked over to her. "That sounds great!" Peachy said ecstatically. "Well, I'm going to go and see if I got my letter from the FAA Spirit Group," I said as I started to leave. "Alright, thanks Scootaloo," Peachy said happily, I paused by the filly that was room-mates with Endings. "What's your name?" I asked the filly. "Presence," she replied. "Nice to meet you Presence," I said as I exited the room and headed towards my own dorm. I trotted out of the building and shot from the ground into the clouds above the campus. The sky was really cool today, a lot colder than usual. The wind swept under my wings and I glided for most of the trip back to my dorm. The sun was high in the sky now as I descended onto the lawn around my dorm. I landed lightly and came to a complete stop before the doors of the building. The ground was fairly warm compared to the sky today. I walked inside of my building and headed towards the mail desk. I could see Postal's hooves moving fast to sort the letters and put them in the right places from around the corner. I walked around the corner and looked at him, he was shuffling hundreds of letters with his hooves faster than I could think about what he was doing. it took him a while to even notice me, he was very focused on his work. "Howdy Scootaloo, what brings you over here?" Postal asked happily. "Did i get any mail over the last couple of days?" "Actually, a group of ponies cam by earlier and dropped a few letters off, I think a couple of them were yours," Postal went back to my post box and opened it. "I was right, you've got a couple in here," Postal walked back to me and handed the letters over. I looked at the letters, both were from the academy, I set them on the desk and opened them with a nearby letter opener. The first was from the FAA Spirit Ponies, it read; Dear Scootaloo, We are happy to inform you that you have been accepted into our program, as a prerequisite, we ask that you attend some of the cheerleading practices to learn the cheers for our group once we are in the stadium next week cheering on our hoofball team. Sincerely, FAA Spirit Club I looked at the second letter, it only had a reminder that my classes started tomorrow. I kept the letters and threw their envelopes away, Postal was still shuffling through hundreds of letters when I was finished. "Thanks Postal, we should hang out sometime when you're not working," I said as I walked off from his desk. "Totally, I get off in a few hours, want to tonight?" Postal half shouted from across the room. "Maybe, see you ten," I started up the stairwell. It felt like forever since I'd been to my room, even though in reality it had barely been more than an hour. I unlocked the door and walked in to find Red snoring loudly on his bed. I sat down on my bed, clicked on my TV and set it to a low volume. I watched the school's news network as i dozed off into a light sleep.
