Silver shakes her head. “Her instructor didn’t seem to want to share that information.” “Well you need to get ready for your dad, he should be here any minute.” “I’ll go clean up then.” Silver says as she heads to the bathroom to clean up. Shortly after there’s a knock on the door. Script opens the door and a tan stallion with a cutie depicting fine jewelry wire enters the house. “Hello Silver Script.” He says coldly. “Hello Filigree.” Script says curtly. “Silver Spoon is getting cleaned up.” “Understood.” Filigree says as he goes and sits at the table. Scootaloo walks into the house. “Hey Silver Script.” “I was wondering when you’d come back.” Script says. “This is Filigree, Silver Spoon’s father.” “Hello there sir.” Scootaloo says. “My name is Scootaloo.” “Hello there, what are you doing here?” Filigree asks. “She’s staying with us for a few days while her mother is out of town.” Script answers. “So you’re taking in strays now?” Filigree asks with obvious contempt. “Or is this the latest in your attempts to be ‘yourself’? Are you bedding foals now?” “Silver Script hasn’t touched me, just so you know. You say you want to know who I am? I’ll tell you who I am!” Scootaloo flares her small yet powerful wings as she leaps onto the table so she’s eye level with Filigree. “I’m Silver Spoon’s fillyfriend.”         “YOU’RE WHAT?!” Filigree screams.         Scootaloo stares at Filigree in obvious anger. “I said I’m Silver Spoon’s fillyfriend.”         Filigree pounds his fore-hooves on the table and raises himself up higher than Scootaloo. “MY DAUGHTER IS NOT ONE OF THOSE FILLYFOOLER FREAKS!!”         Scootaloo uses her wings to stand on her hind legs so she’s once again looking Filigree in the eyes. “You apparently don’t know you’re own daughter.”         Filigree growls as he swings one of his fore hooves at Scootaloo and Scootaloo flips away from him, and uses her wings to land safely. “Stand still you little lying bitch!” He growls as he pushes the table out of the way and pursues Scootaloo.         “Filigree!” Silver Script yells as she rushes toward him. “Don’t you touch her!”         “Shut up, Tramp!” Filigree shouts as he hits Silver Script with a back hoof, knocking her across the room.         “Mom!” Silver Spoon calls out as she comes out of her room and runs to her mom. “What did you do?” She asks as she looks at her now unconscious mother         “I shut that tramp up.” Filigree says as he walks toward Scootaloo, cornering her. “Just like I’m going to shut the muzzle of this lying bitch!” "What are you talking about?" Silver asks her voice trembling, but watches as Scootaloo crouches down "This lying bitch said you were a filthy fillyfooler, and she was your fillyfriend.” “It's true." Silver admits. "What did you say?" Filigree stops and glares at his daughter. "I'm a fillyfooler and Scootaloo is my fillyfriend." "You stupid little dyke." Filigree growls. "It doesn't matter how you feel. I'm going to marry you off to a rich colt and you're going to learn to love his cock!" "Over my dead body!" Scootaloo shouts as she rushes at Filigree her small wings buzzing as she does. "My pleasure." Filigree turns to Scootaloo just as Scootaloo hits him shoulder first in his chest. A crack is heard then Filigree falls unconscious. "Scootaloo!" Silver runs over to her. Scootaloo stands there panting in obvious exhaustion. "Silver, go get Doctor Staff and Constable Flathoof." With that she falls down. "Are you okay?" "I'll be fine, just go." "Okay." Silver says and quickly heads out the door. ========== Doctor Staff enters the house followed by an earth pony stallion wearing a formal dark blue jacket with silver buttons and a custodian helmet. A bright golden badge is fixed to his jacket. His cutie mark is a donut with a bite taken out of it. Silver Spoon walks in behind them only to see everypony is unconscious now. "Scootaloo!" Silver calls out. "Mom!" She goes to run to them only to be stopped by the stallion. "You need to let the Doctor check them over." He says. Silver nods. "Sorry Constable Flathoof." Doctor Staff walks over to Filigree and his horn glows then so does Filigree. "Broken ribs, this one will have to be moved carefully. I'll take him in my magic. Let me check the other two." He walks over to Scootaloo and scans her. "Dislocated shoulder. I can put that back in place and she'll be fine." "Thank goodness." Silver sighs in relief. Doctor Staff walks over to Silver Script next and scans her. "Concussion. Constable do you think you could carry this mare for me?" "Of course, Doctor." Doctor Staff levitates Silver Script up and places her on Flathoof's back. "Please take her to Nurse Redheart and tell her she has a concussion. She'll know what to do." "Of course Doctor." Flathoof says then carefully heads off. "Will my mom be okay?" Silver asks. Doctor Staff nods. "She'll be fine, I just need to keep an eye on her for a day or so. I trust you have somepony that can watch over you for that long?" "I'll do it." The meak voice of Fluttershy says. "Miss Fluttershy, how nice of you." Doctor Staff says. "I trust you are here for your daughter." Fluttershy nods. "Is she okay?" "I just need to put her shoulder back in place." Doctor Staff says. "I suspect she passed out from exhaustion." "Anything I can do to help?" Fluttershy asks. "I need you to hold her down so I can reset her shoulder. It will unfortunately hurt her." "Okay." Fluttershy says as she goes and pins Scootaloo down. Doctor Staff grabs her foreleg in his magic and moves it suddenly causing a pop. Scootaloo wakes up screams. "It's okay Scootaloo." Fluttershy whispers. "The Doctor is making you all better," "Thanks Mom." Scootaloo says before she passes back out. "Here’s something for the pain." Doctor Staff says as he levitates a vial over to her. “Let me know if you need anything else.” "Thank you Doctor." Fluttershy says as she carefully scoops Scootaloo up in her forelegs and gently takes to the air. "Now I'll take this one and fix him up." He looks at Silver Spoon. "Don't worry the Constable will make sure the proper charges are pressed against him." "Thank you, sir." Silver says as she watches Doctor Staff levitate Filigree and then walks carrying him in his magic. "Come on back to my cottage." Fluttershy says. “I need to lay Scootaloo down.” Silver nods. “Alright, let’s go.”
