Broken Wings

Dear Applebloom and Sweetie Bell

Dear Applebloom and Sweetie Bell,

I don’t know how to say this… I guess you could say I’m not coming to school tomorrow or the next day or even the day after that. You probably won’t understand why and even if I try and explain you’ll still wonder. It was nothing you could prevent, nothing anypony could prevent me from doing this. Before I do though, I’ll remember you two. I’ll remember all the times we went off on adventures looking for our cutie marks, how we nearly destroyed Ponyville everyday. Good times, right? We still never found our cutie marks… Don’t worry I’m sure you guys will get them soon. You guys have futures after all. I’m a pegasus who can’t even fly! I guess, I never told you why I can't fly, did I? Well, when I was a small filly my mother was flying back to our house and lightening struck her. She developed a rare type of pony paralyze that eventually took over her whole body and I, well, my wings were crushed by the fall. The doctors said I'd never be able to move them but I tried. Everyday I tried until I got them flapping, or buzzing, as hard as I could! I never got to fly but at least I was able to move them. I took care of my mother till the day she passed away and that's also why I don’t belong here in Ponyville, I never did. I belong with my mother.
Anyway, I'm sorry for teasing you two all the time. I never really meant it, I hope you guys never took it personally. I think I’ll miss you two the most (even a bit more than Rainbow Dash). Take care and make sure your sisters don’t go nuts on you like they always do.

Always your friend,
Scootaloo
