//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Finding My Family // by AlexisWolf2001 //------------------------------// Chapter 3 We woke up to sun shining through the shades and the smell of pancakes and eggs being made.I nudged Melody and she nudged Blossom. We got up and went downstairs. I saw a big table with a bunch of food. We sat down and started to eat our breakfast. I had never tasted anything so good. “So what should we do today?” Rarity asked us. “I don't know,” Mel replied. “Can I go visit Applebloom and Scootaloo today?” Sweetie Belle asked. “Why of course, Sweetie Belle.” Rarity told her. “ I would like to visit my cousins at Sweet Apple Acres.” said Blossom. “Ok then,it's settled.We will go visit the Apple family and then take Sweetie Belle to go visit Applebloom and Scootaloo.”Rarity told us. We finished the last of our breakfast and got ready for the day. We walked out of the Boutique and headed towards Sweet Apple Acres. I heard a loud “YEEHAWW!” that made me jump out of my coat. I looked and saw an orange pony in a cowboy hat run and kick the apples out of a tree. The pony looked over and saw Blossom and ran over to us. She asked, “Blossom is that you?” “Yep it's me!” “How did you get here, WHEN did you get here?” the pony asked. “I came with Mel and I came here yesterday.” B replied. “Well welcome back!!” The pony said. Blossom looked over at me and said, “Oh,sorry, I forgot to introduce you to my cousin. Sally,Applejack. Applejack, Sally.” Applejack came over and shook my hoof really fast that it was a chore to stop it. AJ yelled at the top of her lungs, “APPLES, WE HAVE BLOSSOM OVER. COME HERE!” I just stood paralyzed as soon as she started. I can see where Blossom gets her country accent and attitude. Applebloom came running up to us and she gave Blossom a big hug. Applejack told us, "Ya'll have meet Applebloom,but this is Big Macintosh,and Granny Smith.” “Nice to meet you.” I said. I was very intimidated by Big Mac. Blossom interrupted, “Well it was awesome to see ya'll but we need to get going.” Applejack told her that it was ok and to come back to the farm any time she wanted too.We walked on with Applebloom tagging along. Sweetie Belle told us that Scootaloo would probably be watching Rainbow Dash. I wondered who this Rainbow Dash was and what Scootaloo was doing watching her. We walked into this big field and I saw a cyan mare in the sky doing amazing tricks and flips and saw the little filly sitting under watching in awe. I looked up and saw a dash of rainbow. As soon as I said that in my head I understood why the mare's name was Rainbow Dash. That and I also saw the rainbow mare land in front the filly. They saw us and trotted over to us. Scoot gave a hug to Sweetie and Applebloom. Rainbow Dash came over and said hey to us and introduced herself to us and we suspected that she knew Rarity.Once again out the corner of my eye I saw Scootaloo looking at me,as if studying me. I was tempted to ask her what she was doing but I didn't what to do it in front of the others,so no one else was wondering. We started to get going and said goodbye to Rainbow Dash. We walked back to the Boutique now with Scootaloo and Applebloom following us. We went in and the three fillies ran past us. Ms.Song and Rarity went into the living room and we went up into our room. I closed the door and immediately told the girls, “Ok, that Scootaloo is starting to creep me out.” “Huh?!” they replied. “What do you mean?” Melody asked me. "I mean, that every time we see her,I see her looking at me like she's studying me.” I told them. “Do you guys know anything about her?” “I know that she can't fly very well,” Blossom said “And she doesn't have any family either.As far as I know.” Mel told me. “She sounds just like me.” A suspicion popped into my head but I just cleared it from my head. It was getting late and so we went to bed. Melody and Blossom fell asleep but I just laid in my bed looking at my torn picture. I wanted to get up and ask Scootaloo if she knew what this was but I didn't want to seem mean. So I just put it back under my pillow and went to sleep. Mel and Blossom woke up before me and went downstairs. I finally woke up and saw that they weren’t in the room, so I just assumed that they were downstairs. I walked down and saw everyone there. "Where were you?" Ms. Song asked. “Sorry, I guess I overslept.” I replied. I kinda glared over at Blossom and Mel, but then I just chuckled and sat next to Mel. The three fillies came down and Applebloom sat near Blossom,Sweetie Belle near Mel, and Scootaloo awkwardly sat down near me. Again,I saw her look at me. Some of the others also saw her look at me and Applebloom asked, “Scoot,why are you lookin' at her like that?” Scootaloo stopped and said, “Looking at who,like how?” Applebloom just rolled her eyes. We finished our breakfast and went out to go see what all we could do. My wings were aching.I really wanted to go out for a fly. I tapped on Blossom and Melody and told them that I was going to go for a quick fly in the field. Mel told me that she'd tell Rarity of my where-about. I trotted off and got over to the open field where we saw Rainbow Dash. She wasn't there,so I was okay of flying without being seen. I got into the middle of the field, smelled the cool,fresh air,felt the grass beneath me, and when I felt the perfect rush of wind, I shot up into the sky and flew up into the clouds, feeling as free as the wind and grass. I shot through a few clouds, little knowing that I was being watched by a small,orange filly and a rainbow mare.
