//------------------------------// // That Suspicious Look // Story: Scootaloos Parents // by ArtsyUnicorn //------------------------------// Today was Scootaloo's birthday, the whole school day was full of "Happy Birthdays" and "Hope you have a great day", and even her best friends AppleBloom and Sweetie Belle were planning something special for the orange Pegasus. Now no pony really knew Scootaloo's parents, but they didn't question it either. But today was the day that mystery would be solved, by AppleBloom and Sweetie Belle of course! "Ah can't believe she's never told us about her parents before, what if they're not nice when we go over to her house tonight?" said AppleBloom "You worry way too much, what if they’re the kindest parents in the world who give candy to every guest that comes over? Sweetie Belle squeaked excitedly. "You think I worry too much? yer the one who expects too much! The two fillies continued to talk, argue and speculate, when they didn't even realize that it was time for lunch! With 10 minutes to eat they ate their sweets and gulped their milk. Scootaloo had a homemade lunch with an extra treat, golly was she full afterwards! "You two look suspicious, what’s wrong?" Scootaloo questioned the small fillies. "Eh.. Just excited for the sleepover tonight ah guess!" AppleBloom was a bad liar and she knew it, Scootaloo just shrugged and trotted back to the schoolhouse. "You are a bad liar, even Diamond Tiara can lie better then you can" Sweetie said while walking away. Scootaloo knew about the sleepover, but not that they were doing it so they can see her parents and make sure they're not weird, but what can you do when even your friends are weird? School was out and the trio of ponies walked to her friend’s house, what do they expect to find? That’s what Sweetie Belles imagination is for! Sweat beaded down Sweetie Belles head, while AppleBloom was looking for the quickest escape routes just in case. Scootaloo just kept on walking with a smile on her face; suddenly she stopped at Mane Street and questioned the two, "Alright, start talking, why are you guys so nervous! It’s like were going to a jail or something!" Scootaloo yelled at the two. "Well, it's just-" "WE HAVE NEVER SEEN YOUR PARENTS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE! WHAT IF THEY'RE ALIENS, GRIFFINS OR PYTHONS? WE DON'T KNOW!" Sweetie Belle cut off AppleBloom loudly. Scootaloo just stood there in shock, how could her friends think of this? Why would they think of this? What in tartarus possessed them to say that?! And then she burst out laughing. "Wow, I've never heard anything like that in all of my life! I can't tell if you guys are joking or not! but really, you have nothing to worry about. Now let’s keep going, were almost there!" Scootaloo's house was an ordinary home with pretty flowers planted; however she lived at the edge of town so it was kind of far from the other houses. They walked up the steps and Scootaloo opened the door.
