It may be for the Weak, but you should really have one.
Scootaloo shivered. Ponyville's winter was colder than it was last year and she didn't have No-
...She didn't have a blanket to keep her warm. She could tough it out though. She was cool, she's laid back, she could shrug it off like it was no big deal. Stuff like this didn't get to her. She was just like No-
Rainbow Dash, she was just like Rainbow.
"Stupid idiot could have waited till spring..." Scootaloo grumbled.
A bright flash made Scootaloo cover her eyes. Shaking her head, Scootaloo looked around and saw... a note and a key.
1337 Cat Horsie Lane
That sounds like a place all the cool little orange chickens would hang out at.
-Nopony Special.
Frowning, Scootaloo got up and started making her way uptown. She knew the lane since it was close by to where Sweetiebelle lived, but she never been to that street before.
Before her stood a small and modest, but somewhat high class house. Upon knocking nopony answered. Scootaloo glanced at her note one more time, and tried unlocking the front door with the key.
It worked.
Inside was a well furnished house, one that would incline that somepony lived here, yet nopony was in sight.
Nopony wasn't in sight either.
"Hello? Anypony home?" Scootaloo called out.
With nopony answering, Scootaloo decided to wander in. The living room had a lit fireplace with a tray of cookies and milk put on a table. Next to that was another note.
Hey loser, guess who has enough money laying around that I can just buy a house whenever I feel like it?
Go into the hallway on your left and check the room on your right.
-That disappointing princess who has a sun on her butt.
"The hay is she up to?.." Scootaloo scowled as she did what the note said.
The room before her had a name plate, with the letters on it colored bright orange.
SCOOTALOO
"No way..." She whispered.
Opening the door, she found a room any self respecting 12 year old filly would love. The bed in the right back hand corner had a wonderbolt themed blanket and pillows. In the other corner was a tool kit for fixing up scooters. To the left of Scootaloo was a TV and a few of the more recent gaming systems. On her right was a vanity that she was certain she'd never make use of. The walls were painted baby blue with little clouds scattered about.
It was coolest room she'd ever seen.
It was her room.
Scootaloo started to cry.
"Hey kiddo." A voice called out from behind her.
"Nopony?.." She sniffed.
Behind her stood Nopony, but instead of his unkempt usual self, he looked as if he just visited a spa. Scootaloo had just hit puberty, but even she could tell Nopony was a very handsome stallion.
That's not very surprising considering who he really was.
"The fridge will magically get restocked every time you empty it." Nopony looked around the room with casual disinterest. "And by that, I mean somepony or I will sneak in and refill it without you noticing. If you ever need me, the door to the master bedroom leads to my closet door back at the castle. Please don't prank me during court hours. So what do you think of the room?"
"THANK YOU!" Scootaloo tackled him with a hug. "Thank you thank you thank you..."
Nopony smiled. "I told ya we'd meet again, remember?"
"You're a jerk for leaving me like that!" Scootaloo cried.
"Yeah yeah, I know," Nopony hugged her back.
Nopony waited quietly as Scootaloo cried into his stomach.
"Why?" Scootaloo looked up at him.
"Why? Well..." Nopony scratched his chin. "One time there were these two homeless fillies. The younger one stood between Sombra and Starswirl the Bearded when the older one was too scared to move. When all was said and done, the only thing the older one could think of was how proud of her little sister she was. Right then, she realized:
"No matter who I become, I will never lose the passion I have in my heart when I watch my little ponies grow. I don't know who I want to be, but I know that I want to spend the rest of my life helping others be the best ponies they can be."

Either a mistake, or something else...
Yay! Sweet ending was sweet. Also, would love to see this continued with nopony messing with other cast members, and the occasional scoots messing with Celestia. :P
Do it, do it, do it, do it nao!!!
The feels...
And the sequel...
DO IT! JUST DO IT!

Well done. Very well done. For such a short story you packed a lot of emotion and fun into it.
Aaaaw, now she can finally invite her friends over to her place. I wonder how they'll act, considering I'm assuming Scootaloo has always dodged the question of "can we visit your place" ?
I'm surprised you didn't make a single Metal Gear reference considering they were living in a box for a while.
This?
This right here?
This is my new favourite story on this entire website.
That was a sweet ending. I loved how much it showed how much Celestia/Nopony grew to love Scootaloo over the course of the story. The real question is has the year come up yet or was there a reason for Celestia to leave early?
i could hug you if it wasn't for the fact that i was on the other side of this computer also more
*Sobs*
Follow, Like, Fave
It was a good thing that Celestia bribed Scootaloo, because otherwise...img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130403140108/mlp/images/d/dc/FANMADE_Scootaloo_murder.jpg
I was expecting scootaloo to carry out the evil plan... then I remembered the comedy tag...
6586304
Its ok, they got better.
Well on one hand, Celestia may have just saved her own hide. On the other hand, she did already know the plan.
But that wouldn't stop our supreme evil overlord Scootaloo.
6586267
Scootaloo states that pegasi have magic. It's just different from unicorn magic.
6557691
I know.
Phew, after the last chapter I thought it was going to be really really depressing. When did Scootaloo figure out that "Nopony" was the princess?
6585939
The chapter of evil Scootaloo said that Apple Bloom and Sweetie had just as much trouble as Nopony in rousing Scootaloo while she thought of her evil plan, implying they know about her box home.
6586941
Haha, oh man, I totally didn't think about that.
Welp, it's fanon canon now.
Simply beautiful
Dagnabbit, I thought this was supposed to be a goofy story!
THE FEELS BURN
Should a been Scootadopt, but this is kinda OK too.
This was fun and cute. And heartwarming. I especially liked the door that leads to the palace. For a moment it seemed like Celestia was trying to bribe her conscience for having abandoned Scootaloo, but establishing that they'll still be friends makes it ok.
Good story!
That was a rather more satisfying end.

It kinda is...

If you read it aloud, replacing it's with it is, it's pretty easy to notice if it's wrong or not.

HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE~
Oh, man. The feels are real! I've really enjoyed this story. With the exception of the evil plan thing...that was just freaky.
This definitely strayed from the comedy and random tags though, so you may want to think about adding some more tags.
I really enjoy the way that this story can have a ridiculous topic in one part, and then totally flip on the reader and become incredibly thought provoking. There are a few grammar mistakes I picked out, but not too bad.
Thank you for writing this story, and thank you for reading this comment.
6592501
The tags are the only part of this story that gets me actually. Well, that and those grammar errors... The story is tagged comedy and random because it is very comedic and random at times, but it also has sad and slice of life moments. Problem is that you can't tag a story both comedy and sad, and you can't add both the tags random and slice of life.
There was one specific chapter, (the one you don't like,) that was dark, but the point was it was so audaciously dark from a small child that it's amusing to see Celestia freak from it, appealing to the comedy element. One chapter alone doesn't warrant a dark tag and I don't want to false advertise.
The story is very schizophrenic, jumping between atmospheres and feelings, and that was intentional. The minimal amount of content and words was also intentional. I tried very hard to make a story that dished out a lot using very little in a way that transitioned smoothly. I kinda only hope I did that last one alright, sounds like I did a decent job.
In the end, I chose the tags comedy and random simply 'cause that's what people expect out of me when I write stuff.
6593569 I think I understand. I think maybe the sad and slice of life tags might still fit though, but you make good points.
I look forward to seeing more from you!
Soooooo goood!
Oh god so great! It reminds me of the show Rick and Morty, in that it has a perfect balance of funny and sad. Great job!
6652107
Oh my gosh, I just finished doing a marathon of that show. None of this was inspired by this, but now I wish it was, it's my favorite cartoon now.
6652646
Yeah, I know it wasn't based off of it, it just has perfectly timed sadness and comedy. It's also my favorite show, have you seen the season two finale yet!?
6653223
Yep. Looking forward to season 3. If he ever makes it.
6669633
They are! They renewed the show for another season! The ending made me cry so much, but I can't wait to see if Morty forgives Rick. (Let's be honest, the sanchez's are gonna break him out. They badasses (except for Jerry(The ass)))
This was really, really good. I love a story that can bounce so effortlessly between comedy and poignancy, and this story manages it with few hiccups. It doesn't go as deep as it could, but it sits comfortably enough at the depth it has. The relationship between Scootaloo and Nobody Special is established fast and hard, but it's handled expertly enough to not be jarring or unbelievable. Despite the concise nature of the story I was able to gain a pretty close attachment to the both of them as a pair. The focus on exclusively two characters works surprisingly well here, though it does leave me wanting for more in a way. Like I said, the story is comfortable at where it is, but I still would've been more than happy to see it go further.
Still, the tiny slice we were given here was plenty enjoyable. Good work.

Exciting!
6586587
Just because she already knew the plan doesn't mean it wouldn't work. Nobody would believe that a child would be able to come up with something that evil, and so Scootaloo would totally be able to pull it off. Of course, in the end, Scootaloo would be dead, and every Princess would be broken beyond repair, but you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
I love how everyone was all "curse dat evil Celestia, abandoning this filly". I'm sitting here like, "She's been a bum for a year. Her wallet's back in her other wing of the castle. How else is she gonna buy a house/jetpack for Scoots?"
It looks like Scootaloo just got a house
6764828
A house? Like, a doctor to see what's wrong with her wings?
That was an experience. A marvel. A wonder. A sucker-punch in the gut.
6762470 No plan survives contact with the enemy.
Scoots is also assuming she won't trip and bash her head open on a rock on Day 1 of her plan.
That's the core problem with long-term, hyper-complex schemes... they only work when you're basically God and control every possible variable. (which is why all my plans succeed!)
