Scootaloo is a good friend of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. She's also Rainbow Dash's best friend.

So why the heck has nopony met her family before?

After asking this question, Applejack wastes her entire morning finding the answer.

It WOULD make sense but.........wouldn't then Cheerilee know FIRST HOOF of the antics of the bullies Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon? :twilightoops:

Good question. I like to imagine that Cheerilee does know of all this first hoof. Parent-teacher conferences, detention, etcetera....just that none of it's taking with the two brats. I've seen it firsthand in real life, after all. Some kids don't want to change, and their parents don't help the situation. Parents these days are always defending their kids' actions, and I could see Filthy Rich purposefully ignoring his daughter's faults.

Meh, I don't buy the "Equestria has always been at war with Gryphonia" line, and you can quote me to Big Brother. :pinkiecrazy:
(Now, "wanders into the Everfree while drunk and gets torn to bite-sized pieces by Timber Wolves", that I'll buy). :pinkiesmile:

I agree with 5873107

I like to call it the 'angel-syndrome' as in My little angel would never do such a thing.
It tends to make parents completely blind and their children learn that they can get away with murder if they need to.

....Not gonna lie, I kinda like your idea better. :rainbowlaugh:

The...fate of the father feels extremely out of place, even if it's meant to be satire. Just in the way that it's delivered. It just doesn't match up with the tone of the rest of the story.

Plus, it completely killed my otherwise happy mood as I read this.

I mean, seriously. I was grinning like an idiot right up until that line.

Now I haz a sad....

:rainbowlaugh: Man, that was hilarious. The fake-out had me LOL-ing for three minuets strait. Then I read the rest, and I LOLed for another three minuets. :rainbowlaugh:

Edit: :rainbowlaugh: I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!

Well, alternate headcanon accepted. I much prefer this bit of character development for both Scoots and Cheerilee to new undeveloped characters as her parents. Though maybe rather than her dad dying horribly like that we could combine this with the popular idea that Scootaloo is an orphan and say that Cheerilee adopted her.

Haha :rainbowlaugh: I loved this

First of all:

"That's easy! That's-" Pinkie Pie froze. Her mother was still hanging open

Aghm.... I think you meant mouth.

So many lols!

up until scoots father part.....

Wait, didn't Scoots attempt to hitch Cheerilee up with Macintosh?

I see no reason that this is a problem. In fact, in my experience, kids love to pair up their single parents (my parents themselves are divorced, and me and my siblings are culprits of this).

Pinkie Pie froze. Her mother was still hanging open

:trollestia:

I really enjoyed this, had a really good flow to it. Almost would fit right in as an episode.

Also your avatar is horrifying. :raritydespair:

5881825

I agree with 5885789 on that

The bigger problem with the headcannon is that all the Crusaders were making a Hearts and Hooves day card together for Cheerilee. Where as if Cheerilee was Scoots mother she'd indefinitely want to make her own card.

5886874

I never said it was a problem.

5886898

Sorry, misinterpreted your comment.

5886757

I thought I fixed that whoopsie

And why is my avatar horrifying? :fluttercry:

Nice story, and interesting theory.

In G3.5 My Little Pony, Scootaloo and Cheerilee are sisters.

Not tying to be mean, but since you asked;

I thought it was ironically bad since you survive "on the tears of small children, the souls of small animals" The proportions are some uncanny valley stuff. Those giant too close eyes , the impossible hair , the misaligned mouth. The disembodied heart held in a broken flat hand in a giant arm.

Again , I really did like your story.

Nice story, thanks for the read and have a thumbs up :twilightsmile:

5887132 Tottaly crazy and awesome!

Someone spoke of G3 and incorporated it as canon in G4...:derpyderp2: THE GENERATION THAT SHALL NOT BE SPOKEN OF?!

Meh.

5909382 And the one that gave names to half of our beloved G4 ponies. Don't forget that. (Though, otherwise, yes, erase it with :flutterrage:ing fire.)

5927972 G1 had Applejack. And they say she's just a background pony! She still is.

I agree with you, the idea that Equestria is or was at war against the Gryffon allways seems odd to me. I mean, they go to the same school to learn how to fly, this is not the kind of connection you share with an acient ennemy... Unless you win the war and this country is now dependant of yours in some kind of colonial nightmare.

And the episode with Gryffonstone seems to indicate that there was now diplomatic exchange between the Gryffon and the pony since quite a long time... so, no war it seems, sorry.

But it does not mean I don't like the idea of war in Equestria, there could be a war for the unification of Equestria, or a revolt in the Cristal Empire by pony that does not want to be rule by stranger.

There is a lot of threat in equestria, and some fate that can be, for the family, worse than death.

''He was affected at the protection of Celestia during the summer sun celebration... He disappear with her when Nightmare moon attack and does not reappear since... Luna does not remember anything about him or... or she prefer not to talk to protect us...''

Honestly, if any relationship were to be revealed between Scootaloo and Cheerilee, I'd prefer them to be sisters, but this would be an interesting twist as well...

Plus the story itself was just hilarious.

At least it didn't turn out to be Fluttershy this time. >_>
Speaking of which, nopony has ever met her family either. When she fell off the cloud, did they like... Assume she died and didn't bother to check? Is SHE an orphan? WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH BEST PONY'S PARENTS?!

So Pinkie froze up because plot demanded it? I doubt there would be a Pinkie Promise made from her to Cheerilee or Scootaloo, in any case.

And then we get a half-funny, half-downer ending.

No, she froze up because she didn't know the answer to the question, and the sheer impossibility of not knowing who Scootaloo's mother is, priding herself on knowing everypony in town, just broke her completely. :pinkiecrazy:

Thanks for the fav, btw.

Cheerilee sighed wistfully and looked to the side. "Our relationship was forbidden. He was, after all..."

"...A chicken.

Is it weird that love the sheer stupidity concentrated in this one statement?

Cheerilee nodded. "I know. Actually, Scootaloo's father died a gruesome death at the head of Celestia's army in the Griffonian War. There wasn't even enough of him left to bury."

This. If I could give you a cookie, I absolutely would right now, because this is gold.

Honestly, aside from the mention of brutal death, this feels just like an episode from the series, and I honestly love the twist that Cheerilee is Scootaloo's mother. Hell, tempted to adopt that as headcanon now.

"Dear Diary,

Curiosity killed the cat.

Signed, Applejack."

69/10 Best diary entry ever.

I love this story SOOOOO much......especially the part where Pinkie 'breaks'!! XD :pinkiehappy:

For real Cheerilee being her mom would have been so much better than them being gone all the time.
