sad at the end but a wonderful chapter i look forward to the next
Looking forward to next chapter.
What a terrible father. If a teacher says they want to discuss how to help your child. You go.
What Silver Spoon needs is the right type of teaching. She has the wrong music instructor, the wrong everything. No one seemed to notice except Scoots and Octy.
Silver Spoon's dad is a grade A piece of manure, and Diamond Tiara ain't much better.
wow i feel so bad for Silver. Scootaloo should be a teacher for her
How saddening. I hope to see things get better for Spoon.
the problem seems to be silver spoons grasp of initial concepts, she isn't actualy stupid she just doesn't catch on in the same manner most people do, when a concep is presented to her correctly she seems to be able to grasp and adapt to it and a rather remarkable speed. i hate to say it but the fault here is both silversmith and cheerilee's well i realise cheerilee doesn't have the ability to concentrate on everyone at once, it is her job as a teacher to tyr and find some way to work with silver spoon. my best geuss is cheerilee's talent was meant for teaching young foals, this current grade seems beyond her ability.
I wanna know what happened last winter!!
That bastard is cold, he's right but still, that man is cold.
Is SS going to have Scoots help her with her school problems?
Great chapter.
2877199 Wasn't there something about Scootaloo having a thing for Sweetie Belle and Sweetie Belle not being into it?
Or am I reading into subtext?
2880762>>2877199
There is some implication that Scootaloo will occasionally (perhaps subconsciously) let her eyes wander across Sweetie Belle's backside in the very first chapter, but she immediately--and genuinely--denies any interest in the next chapter. Sweetie Belle's response is mostly just embarrassment at being implicated in the scandal (so to speak), although since she is a unicorn, there's a reasonably high chance she'll end up with another mare anyway. It just probably won't be Scootaloo because she's her friend. It'd be too weird. :nala:
Anyway, I'll go ahead and say that's not what happened last winter. Last winter will come up in conversation again in a later chapter. For what it's worth, 'last winter' isn't the first or the latest time Scootaloo has kept Sweetie Belle out of the loop, but included Apple Bloom (or even Babs when she's in town), it's just the most memorable time. This exact scenario plays out kind of often. Sweetie is a gossip, and for somepony with secrets like Scootaloo tends to collect, that makes her a less-than-desirable confidant. As is mentioned in the story, she doesn't do it on purpose, she's just airheaded. She forgets what's supposed to stay secret and what's okay to share, and she gets excited about really juicy secrets.

been too long since I read the earlier chapters, or I just hadn't noticed the Scoot staring thing
eeenteresting...
Throw a bunch of money at your child so they have the 'essentials', then expect them to make you proud while you continue to live as though you're not a parent? Sad to say I actually knew someone like this. You can't bring a child into the world and then put them on a shelf to mature. It's a kid, not a bottle of wine.

This fic does a good job of making SS extremely feels inducing. Never felt so sad for her before.
Going by your previous chapters; am I correct in assuming that the next chapter will be released soon?
3026494
As soon as it can be. I never really intended this story to become a monthly installment, but it does seem to be the length of time it takes me to cobble together enough words to feel comfortable uploading it. The next chapter is half-written, fully planned. Just need to finish writing it.
I just read through "No Longer Lost" last night and this morning, andloveditsomuch, and went straight on to this, and the biggest thought in my mind is "geeze, was I this huge a jerk when I was a teenager?" I'm seriously disappointed in Scootaloo's general behavior throughout the story... after everything Octavia and Vinyl have done for her, to have her act so ungrateful is... glaring. That and that, while in the show DT&SS are bullies and the CMCs are their victims, in this story both groups seem to bully each other about equally.
None of which is to say I dislike the story. I'm guessing you're doing it on purpose, for legitimate story reasons. It's just striking.
Is it bad that I know people that have the same mind set as silver's father?
How can a father be so cold? It sounds like Silver is trying but for some reason she's just not getting it.
Okay, so I've noticed something.
Diamond Tiara has warned Silver Spoon to not let herself fall into anything close to a 'debt' concerning Scootaloo, whom I am assuming she is also the one who convinced Spoon that Scoots was a bully, but you seem to be dropping hints that that is exactly what happened to make Tiara and Spoon friends, and Spoon has merely forgotten.
Also, Silver Spoon clearly has a severe learning disorder, and while I agree that Cheerilee's methods of talking to her yet not changing her etching method to better suit her ENTIRE class isn't helping, her father should be the first to notice. Instead, that sentient pile of Hydra dung writes it off as what, some sort of rebellious phase? Something that Silver Spoon is using to spite him?
Bah!
Excuse me, I must calm myself and tend to the broken glass I just knocked off of my bedside table.
If nothing else this shows why Silver Spoon is the way she is. Between her bully of a best friend, a disconnected and constantly disappointed father, and her own lack of self-esteem, I'd be keeping her away from sharp objects.
WWOOOOOWWW!!!! Just wow... No wonder SS has such a hard time... She has been delt just the worse hoof of cards ever!
Man, I really feel for Silver Spoon here.
4964258
Yeah I noticed that too. SS here almost reminds me of the Dyslexic Scootaloo in Spellbound Fireflies. Taking a lot longer to read, problems with spelling. Getting math when it's simple, but longer stuff just not clicking / making huge errors on it.
And if she is Dyslexic. Her father, Tiara, even Scoots making in fun of her is a massive low blow. Heck it took Twilight in the linked fic for her to see that Scoots had that problem, it'd be funny-sad if Cheers tested her for learning disorders, found it. And made Scoots feel even worse for her words, and her father was still a D-wad, uncaring about not catching on something he should have spotted and fixed (unless it wakes him up for being a negligent father).
3046644 Well you have to remember this is basically in High School, so the show only counts for one portion of their school lives. It's possible that after being bullied enough and getting their cutie marks, that the CMC began to fight back and make remarks about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon as well; being that they feel justified in their actions because those two initially started the bullying.
I think it's now more of a "we hate each other but don't really remember why" kind of thing for the CMC and Silver Spoon; though Diamond Tiara has a superiority complex, to say the least.

Sorry for necroposting, but Apple Bloom knew what happened between Dash and Scoots during the Last Winter Interquel?
So now Canon Spoiled Rich has a contender for worst parent in Ponyville...

Actually not quite:
Silversmith:
- Believes with determination, and hard work. Anypony can achieve greatness.
- Lost his wife (and ended up throwing himself into his work. Which is a common reaction. Sad, but common.).
and
- Yeah ... generally ignores his daughter's existence most of the time. But at least does small things to show that a small sliver of him cares (such as trying to inject culture into her life. And letting her mix it up with celebrities and members of the upper class.).
Spoiled Rich:
- Teaches her daughter that any one that doesn't have a cutie mark is an inferior being. Who's lot in life is to be tormented and ridiculed for not having a cutie mark.
- Teaches her daughter that the only thing that matters is getting powerful connections, by any means necessary to getting those / her way (including black mail, extortion, bribery, threats, and stepping over anyone in her way).
and
- That her father's (Spoiled Rich's husband's) wealth is a means to getting what she wants.
___________
So one can be chalked up to taking grief to an unhealthy / negligent to his daughter direction. The other just uses any excuse to act superior to others, while ruining other's lives for her own amusement / advancement.
hey! it won't be like that for much longer, right...? I mean if scoots keeps tutoring her its gonna be at least a B

Yes, Apple Bloom knew, but only in the vaguest of details. Scootaloo wouldn't have shared specifics of the event with her friends, mostly because she wants to keep those memories private and personal, but the general concept of it being a physical and romantic encounter would be known. However, her reaction would not necessarily be positive. As we will eventually see, the events in their friendship go from the naive curiosity of young fillies exploring one another and themselves together to AB being told such things were unacceptable, then AB using that as an explanation of why they can't do it any more, to Sweetie Belle developing a crush on Scootaloo, to Scootaloo hooking up with Rainbow Dash, to AB asking if that means she (Scootaloo) is gay, to Scootaloo saying she doesn't think so, even though she loves Rainbow Dash, to AB saying she hopes not, to Scootaloo basically just going along with it to prevent drama. That's where we are at the beginning of TMUP. AB thinks it's wrong, Scootaloo isn't sure what to think, but is positive she's not gay, so stop asking, and Sweetie Belle is very gay indeed, but is afraid to say so for what we now know are obvious reasons and is thus caught in the middle. Scootaloo's apparent cognitive dissonance at having homosexual feelings but denying them despite her parents both being mares isn't that impossible, and one gay encounter does not undo years of self-denial. It takes honest reflection, the likes of which Scootaloo is forced into by falling for Silver Spoon.
To a similar, but opposing point, Sweetie Belle is actually very lucky, although she doesn't realize it, because her biggest influence, Rarity, is a very open-minded and cosmopolitan pony, versed in the ways of the world and utterly indifferent to the ramifications of same-sex relationships. That's part of how Sweetie Belle was able to so easily accept her own orientation, even though she prefers to hide it. She's just a socially shy pony to begin with--being consistently viewed under the same microscope as her sister, and always falling short--so keeping personal things close to the vest is just how she works. AB's disdain just reinforces that behavior.

TheGreatEater has the right idea. Silversmith is a rags-to-riches story, and his wife was with him for the whole journey. Their children are nothing so much as vivid reminders of what he had with her, and thus what he lost. He would never be openly or actively violent towards them, but his negligence is not apathy--it's aversion. Silver Spoon is not quite as much the spit and image of her mother as Silver Star is (which is why Silversmith unintentionally drove her to leave the house altogether), but she still reminds him every moment they're together of the mare he loved and lost. In his darkest moments of clarity, he knows Starstruck would be devastated to see what has happened to their family in her absence, but he just can't find the strength to confront it. Not without her.
And so he lets it all fall apart.
Oh SILVER SPOON!
oh my....😰
