 Scootaloo woke up with a ball bumping her head. Scootaloo sat up quickly to see a bunch of young fillies being wild and fighting.The orphan's caretakers,Love Petal and Buzzy Bee,tried to control the crazy children,but they were failing.


Scootaloo threw off the ball on the little filly that threw at her and screamed at her,"Sunny keep your ball to yourself!"


Instantly Scootaloo thought,"Wow,that sounded so wrong."


She galloped out of the noisy room into the kitchen.To get some breakfast.She grabbed some hay and bread, put it on a plate,and started eating it.


Later that morning she was on the school bus.She saw two friendly fillies near the back of the stinky bus.She waved and exclaimed,"Hi!"


Scootaloo galloped over and sat down next to Sweetie Belle she asked them,"How is it going guys?"


"Not great at all,"Apple Bloom told Scootaloo.


"Why what is wrong?"Scootaloo asked with concern.


"Ya have been ignoring us Scoots!I can't just get why y'all isn't going to any Crusader meetings.Ya aret' our friends anymore,"Apple Bloom told her narrow her eyes and glared at her.


"But-"Scootaloo started but Sweetie Belle interrupted.


"Yeah!You are kicked out of the Cutie Mark Crusaders."Sweetie Belle yelled at her.


Scootaloo felt like curling up in a ball and rotting into a pile a dirt. Scootaloo's eyes started having tears roll out of them she told her old friends,"Fine!If you don't want me I don't want you."


She jumped off the seat and she went to the front of the bus alone.Scoots took her jacket out and started crying in it."I lost my best school friends,"she mumbled.


The bus came to a stop and the bus pony hollered,"Get off the bus!"


Scootaloo walked very sluggishly thinking of all the bad things she did to her friends. Scootaloo thought,"I have been ignoring them for weeks.They have a right to not be friends with me anymore."


She dragged her hooves on the dirt looking on the ground."Dirt you have a much easier life,"Scootaloo mumbled.


Scootaloo stepped inside the crammed classroom.It was filled with lots of fillies and one full grown pink mare. Cheerlie called to the class,"Come on and sit down!We have lots of fun learning actives today!"


Scootaloo went to a seat in the very back.She sat down and slouched. Scootaloo sighed,"I am horrible pony."


She had forgotten all about Roller. 


Ms. Cheerlie had passed out some math worksheets and told the class,"Today we are going to review what we have learned in the past week."


Scootaloo gotten the paper and she immediately looked for a pencil."Where is a pencil?"she moaned.


She searched all in her backpack her desk.Nothing."Aw crud,"Scootaloo complained quietly.


"Pssst!Sweetie Belle can I have a pencil?"Scootaloo whispered.


Sweetie Belle was about to reach into her desk.But Apple Bloom turned around and gave her a glare,instead Sweetie went back to work.


"Come on!"Scootaloo exclaimed.


"Scootaloo inside voices and please get back to work,"Cheerlie told her.


Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon started laughing and mocking Scootaloo silently.She barred her teeth at them."Those j-,"


The school's door flew opened while an purple unicorn came in.All the school ponies stopped working and stared at Twilight Sparkle.


Cheerlie asked Twilight politely ,"Twilight we are in the middle of a learning session.May you please tell whatever it is to me later?"


Twilight moved towards her and apologized,"Sorry Cheerlie,but I have to take Scootaloo out of class today."she gave her a blue star shaped paper.


Cheerlie read the paper and announced,"Since the principal wrote you permission,Scootaloo can be excused.


Scootaloo got up from her chair grabbing her belongings,Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom glared at her.Their round eyes narrowed and watched her out the door.


Scootaloo stepped out the door and pouted,"I wish we were still friends,"she whispered silently.


She felt the pointy green grass at her hooves when Twilight told the young filly,"Scootaloo..about Roller,"


"What about Roller is something wrong with her?Can you not take me?What is-"


Twilight interrupted the orange pegasus,"I heard a ding from the computer and it was your ponybook.So I went on to log you off when I barely read Roller's message to you from her.The only words I barely saw was our mom died.So I continued reading it-"


Scootaloo blurted out and wailed,"No!Not my only parent!"tears rolled down her orange fur.


Scootaloo fell unto the green grass and started sobbing,"But she was my only parent left,"Twilight frowned and sat by her.


Twilight's eyes watered up too feeling sorry for the young pegasus. She rubbed her hoof up and down the poor filly's back to comfort her.


Twilight Sparkle started telling Scootaloo,"I read the rest she is going to be in Vanhoover's Downtown Orphange.We are going to go there today to get her.I am going to adopt her.I will give you two a wonderful family in Ponyville and you will be together as a family,"Twilight tried to cheer her up.


Scootaloo raised her head from the lawn and sobbed,"I want to be with my real mom though,"she dug her hoof in the soil.


"You will have your adopted mother.She will love you both,"Twilight tried to comfort her again.


"Why are you so nice to me Twilight?Why are you paying to adopt Roller,pay for the tickets,and do all this for just a stupid filly.You saved Equestria so many times.You are awesome!I am no where there that,"Scootaloo asked.


Twilight frowned and moved closer to the filly and explained,"I am no more better than anypony Scootaloo .The reason why I do all this is-umm-because when Applejack,Rarity,and I were having a sleepover, Aj kept on mumbling.She mumbled Mom Dad!Please don't die!Please!The next day Princess Luna came to me and told me Applejack was having the dream over and over about when her parents died,"the unicorns eyes filled with clear tears.


Scootaloo's jaw opened and she thought,"Poor Applejack.Wait Apple Bloom and Big Mac too!I was so rude to the poor filly when she has the same problem as I did.No parents."


Twilight continued,"So now I don't want that to happen to Roller.Oh the poor filly.Now lets go get to Ponyville's Train Station,"she immediately stood up and pulled up Scootaloo.


The young pegasus exclaimed,"We will get you Roller!" 


Both of them started sprinting towards the train station.As they raced Scootaloo told Twilight,"You are just as awesome as Rainbow Dash."


Twilight's purple cheeks turned light pink."Thanks Scoots,you are pretty cool too,"she giggled.


They finally arrived at the 60-foot-long train.Twilight gave the train conductor two tickets and they went in.They went to the 8th seat on the left of the wide train.


"Wow it is filled today huh Scoots?"asked Twilight Sparkle.


Scootaloo sat down on the mattress and responded,"Yeah it sure is," 


There was many ponies running around bumping each other trying to get a place to sit."I am glad we got here when we did.I don't know what I would do if I had to go on a ten hour trip and stand up the whole time,"Twilight told herself.


"Ten whole hours!That is like hecka lo-o-ong,"Scootaloo gasped.


"Sit back and relax Scoots,"Twilight told her.
