    (Now with Fanart!)

    Scootaloo's rather embarrassed by her Mom.  Not because she isn't cool, arguably she's both the hottest and the coolest mom in Ponyville.  It's not about the fact that her mom serves on the royal court either, though that doesn't help.  Maybe it's got more to do with the fact that the reason her mom is almost never seen after sunrise or before sunset, or because before the Mare in the Moon returned to Equestria, she knew her name.

    Or, you know, that her mother is a chocoholic, an embarrassing know it all that's actually lived it all, owes personal favors to Princess Luna, and has the unfortunate job description of 'ruler of the land and day'.  Sure, having Celestia as your mom is cool and all, but at the same time nopony can know who she really is. Nopony gets to 'know' her, and every moment is guarded against snooping visitors.  And yet, there's still hope for a better day to come.  

    Now with a Trope Page: Scootamom on TVTropes

    I think my heart stopped for a minute there.  In any case, this story was great! I'm a sucker for a Scootaloo fic and yours is a great example of one. The portrayals of both the princesses and Scoots was spot on. The dialogue flowed seamlessly between events and characters. That, combined with your fantastic descriptions, made this a joy to read. It says incomplete, so I'm hoping to see more in the future.

    Not bad.  A little fast at times.

    Also, might want to check up on the forms of 'thou' and how it works as a pronoun.  (I keep forgetting where i find my info at, to be honest.)  Basically, 'thoust' isn't quite the word you were looking for.  And 'thou's' should've been 'thy'.  :facehoof:

    Still, an interesting concept.

    Well.... this certainly explains a lot, like why we never see Scoots' family, and yet her not being an orphan. You were pretty spot on the characterization on Scootaloo, Celestia, and Luna. I do look forward to seeing more for this story, and wondering how Scootaloo will keep her mother a secret from her friends and Miss Cheerilee, and Twilight.

    Well, certainly an original premise in regards to Scootaloo's parents. The banter between Scootaloo and Celestia was likely the best part, as some of the other sections felt a bit rushed by comparison.

    I like the concept but the execution was pretty weak. Way too much exposition and everything presented to the reader up front instead of letting the reader come to the realizations themselves.

    Also Luna's impression that her neice was somehow meant to take her place was extremely illogical. Thinking such about Twilight for instance makes sense but not Scootaloo.

Today is the day you can't go to a site with more than 1,000 regular users or less than 20 without seeing pranks, some half-assed, some lame, and some downright annoying (YouTube's automatic rickrolls, for example).

    On to my serious comment:

    Hmm... this reminds me a of a random fic I saw a month or two ago titled "Why Scootaloo Can't Fly." It featured Scootalicorn and Celly being Scoot's mom. And I believe that, in the comments, I said that Scootalicorn was an idea that needs to be continued.

    Thusly, this fanfic shall be tracked and thumbed (up), then I shall read it and I shall love it. Because the description's got me hooked.

    Edit: Suction cups on the ceiling? Hahahaha.... that's glorious.

    Why? It doesn't contribute anything to the fic, and it'd actually take away from the overall story given the most likely ways to take it.  He doesn't matter, it's not something that is worth paying attention to.  She got drunk after going on a stress induced bar crawl, found out a month later she got pregnant.

    nice plot and story concept but poorly exected. You just kind of threw the reader in which would be ok except you didnt offer any better explaination down the road as to what exactly is going on. Sometimes with a story even though you think the reader wants suspense, which you can still have, you also need to hand somethings to them on a silver platter. It went too fast and didnt even give the reader enough information to figure out and conclude some things on their own. Good idea though,although personally i prefer the idea that scootaloo is an orphan and RD basically raises her.
