The Legend of Celestia: The Wind Waker

Happy Birthday, Scootaloo

Outset Island
Three Hearts Total

"Scootaloo!"

"Scootaloo!"

Zzz...

"Scootaloo!"

Ca-caw! Ca-CAW!

Yawn...

"Hm?"

Scootaloo sat up from the hard wooden boards she had fallen sleep on, which in response the birds around her quickly flew away. She yawned once more, and turned around to face the ladder where a unicorn filly with a blonde mane and a purple-gray coat was holding a telescope with a smile on her face.

"Heya, Dinky." said Scootaloo, rubbing the last bits of sleep out of her eyes.

"I knew I'd find you up here!" said Scootaloo's best friend, Dinky, climbing up onto the viewing platform as opposed to dangerous hanging off the ladder. "This is my favorite spot on the island, too! I gaze out at the sea and play with the gulls!"

Scootaloo nodded, and casually shook some dust out of her coat.

"Scoots, do you remember what day it is today?" asked Dinky with a smile.

"I dunno." said Scootaloo. "Mail day?"

"You're still half-asleep, aren't you?"

"Yep."

Dinky giggled. "Scootaloo, it's your birthday today!"

"Oooooh!" she finally managed to wake up enough. "That's right, it is my birthday!"

"Ms. Twilight has been waiting for you to go her house! She's been waiting for a while now..."

Scootaloo's eyes widened in realization. "Aw, mare! I hope she isn't too upset that I fell back asleep!"

"Guess it's a good thing I came and found you, huh?"

She nodded, and hurried over to the ladder. "I'd better not keep her waiting any longer!"

Dinky smiled. "Probably! I'm just going to stay up here and play with the gulls."

"Sure thing!"

Scootaloo quickly climbed down the tall ladder, and landed on the dock below. She would have just jumped off the look-out point, but she only had three hearts, so it was too risky. She dashed across the dock over to the grass, and then turned to run across a step of stones towards Ms. Twilight's house. She hesitated on one of the stones, and then quickly jumped over to grab a blue rupee and a yellow rupee, which were worth a total of fifteen green rupees. Scootaloo then simply jumped into the water, and swam over to the shore.

"Hi there, Scootaloo!" called out Drips (which was a nickname he had been given due to how runny his nose got) as she ran towards Ms. Twilight's house. "What's up?"

"The sky!" she responded, running by him without another word.

She made it to Ms. Twilight's house, and went in without bothering to knock.

"Ms. Twilight?" asked Scootaloo. "Sorry I took so long! I fell asleep!"

"It's fine, Scootaloo." said a voice from the upper part of the house. "Would you mind coming up here?"

"Not a problem!"

She quickly climbed up the ladder, where Ms. Twilight was standing with a green outfit held in her magic. She was standing in front of a shield on the wall, which had two fake swords behind it. She smiled and gently pushed up her glasses before they fell off her face.

"There you are." said Ms. Twilight with a smile. "I've been waiting for you."

"Yeah, Dinky told me." said Scootaloo.

She nodded, and levitated the outfit over to Scootaloo. "Could you try this on? Wow, I can't believe that you're already old enough to wear these clothes..."

Scootaloo nodded, and took the outfit from Twilight's magic.

You got the Hero's Clothes! They look like they might be a little warm for this weather...

She frowned, and looked over at Ms. Twilight.

"Now don't look so disappointed." said the unicorn in response. "Just try them on. Today is a day to celebrate! It's the day that you become the same age as the hero of legend! You only have to wear the outfit for a day, so be proud while wearing it!"

"Does it have wing holes?" asked Scootaloo as she unfolded it.

"We can't figure out if they're wing holes or tears in the fabric, but either way, yes."

She sighed and quickly slipped on the outfit, with help from Ms. Twilight to get herself untangled. She refrained from putting on the silly hat, but Ms. Twilight simply put it on her with the use of her magic. Oddly enough, the outfit felt like it was the perfect size for her, but Scootaloo ignored it.

"Well, I think I'll get started on your cake." said Ms. Twilight with a smile. "What flavor do you want?"

"Chocolate!" said Scootaloo, her annoyance about the silly outfit diverted into excitement.

"Sure thing! But can you go find Dinky? She really wanted to help out with the baking."

"No problem, I know exactly where she is!"

Scootaloo jumped down to the door (the drop wasn't too high here) and sprinted back towards the look-out point.

"Scootaloo, what's with the outfit?" asked Drips as she ran by him.

"The sky!"

"That's your response to everything!"

She smirked as she ran across the dock, and climbed back up the tall ladder. Dinky was surrounded by a few birds, and was staring off towards the ocean. As Scootaloo walked up to her, the bird flew away, and Dinky turned around in surprise.

"'Hoy, Scootaloo!" said Dinky gleefully. "That outfit looks really cool on you!"

"Thanks, Dinky." said Scootaloo with a smile.

"Anyways, can you close your eyes and hold out your hooves? I'm going to give you my most treasured belonging! But only for today!"

"Uh..." Scootaloo paused for a moment. "Sure!"

She shut her eyes tight, and held out her right forehoof.

"Happy birthday!"

Scootaloo opened her eyes to see Dinky's telescope in her hoof. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she looked up and her friend.

"You're letting me use your telescope?" she asked in surprise.

"It's my birthday present to you!" replied Dinky.

"Dinks, this is so nice of you!"

You got the Telescope! This is your best friend's most precious belonging. Treasure it dearly!

"You should try it out right now!" said DInky.

"Sure!"

Scootaloo carefully lifted up the telescope to her eye, and looked over at Ms. Twilight's house. She got bored of staring at the unmoving wood after just a few seconds, and turned up to look at the sky.

Where she saw a giant bird the size of Ms. Twilight's house.

"What the hay?!?" cried Scootaloo in surprise. She zoomed in, and saw hat the bird was carrying a filly in it's talons. "Oh my gosh, that bird is kidnapping somepony!"

A cannonball flew past the bird, and Scootaloo turned her telescope to see a pirate ship chasing after it. The bird continued to dodge the cannonballs being fired at it, before one hit it dead-on. The bird let out a cry of pain, and dropped the filly it was holding. Scootaloo followed the filly's fall using Dinky's telescope, but lost sight of her as she fell into the forest.

"I hope she didn't lose too many hearts!" said Dinky nervously as Scootaloo finally stopped looking through the telescope.

"I'll go make sure she's okay!" said Scootaloo, putting away Dinky's telescope in her item bag.

"But the forest is too dangerous without something to protect yourself with!"

"Oh, don't you worry." She couldn't help but grin. "I've got something I can use."

"Are you sure it's safe enough, though?"

"Of course I'm sure! Plus, Cutie Mark Crusader Best Friends: Pony Saver!"

Dinky smiled. "And I'll go help Ms. Twilight with your celebration cake for when you come back successful!"

Scootaloo nodded, and quickly climbed down the ladder once more. She hurried back across the dock, and towards Ms. Twilight's house. There was a certain something from under the deck that she needed to grab before going to the forest...

Ya know, I was literally just playing this like ten minutes ago.

[DisplacedWriter]

Oh, so it one of those "Take plot A and insert character B" scenarios..

[Everglue Horace]

I like exploring games, so you can imagine how much I hated having to go pack to the cell in twilight princess after I had finished the triple roundup series because of some saving error.

[mastermenthe]

what kind of universe is this taking place in? it feels like ponies were transplanted into a simulated reality.

8119599 Well, I wanted to keep the video game-like aspect and such, so it can seem a bit weird.
