I have done nothing productive all day and I have a Ko-Fi now!

When a very special filly decides she's got a dream, nothing is about to stop her.

Not even biology.

First like of the day, hell yeah!

Son of a... I mean, Cherry Berry exists, so it didn't quite come out of nowhere, but still.

Also, as an aside, Scootachicken is objectively dumb. If chickens can't fly, then how does the rooster get to the top of the barn at the ***crack of dawn?

They... climb the walls?

Upon actual research (read: a Google search for "flying chicken"), nope. The article I found mentions several breeds, and the non-flying breeds are talked about in a way that makes it sound more like not actually trying rather than being truly incapable. It's only talking about hens, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and I know that's a different bird but it's close enough, right?

I'm sorry, but I seem to have missed the pun...

Is that a 737 you have for cover art? It's so hard to tell from this angle.

Not yet (not including the possible Epillogue). But maybe if I think of an idea I enjoy enough I will.

Sure, why not? It seems interesting.

Well, it's not a feghoot, but I was kind of wondering if that wouldn't be the punchline. :)

No, the main gear you can see in the background has far too many wheels for a 737. The windscreen is also a bit off for one, though you're right, the perspective kind of distorts the shape enough so it's hard to tell. The only plane that airline has ever operated that'd have that many wheels on the main gear is a 777.

And... I'm not quite sure what the ending means. What I think is most likely is that this is Scootaloo, and she's calling herself an earth pony because she's accepted her lot, is taking ownership of what had been used to ridicule her, or is experiencing some kind of race dysphoria where she actually thinks of herself as an earth pony. But I'm also considering the possibility that this story is actually about Apple Bloom, and we're led to assume it's Scootaloo until the end. A twist, then, but that's not what makes a feghoot. I'd be looking for a more obvious joke ending.

The intention was for it to be a twist at the end. Perhaps I did just botch the ending, it seems. Either way, disqualify it if you want.

9752985
A twist that it was actually Apple Bloom the whole time? I was just curious. It's sometimes the nature of feghoots that if you don't catch a reference, you'll totally miss the joke.

9753002
Yep, exactly. And I totally see that. I've read a few fegs where people have commented about not getting it, and some I haven't gotten until I read the comments.

9752883
Yeah, I know the 777 has six wheels per main landing gear- the only airliner like that. Also, it has a noticeable hump behind the cockpit- they reused the 767's. Also, its tail is flat with the APU vectored off to the side.

Lovely story, thank you. She really tried, but if she does not have wings, she may need some kind of artificial device to help her out.

I've flown Scoot Airlines before. Crappy budget airline in SE Asia. :pinkiesick:

I was half expecting this to be a joke about Scootaloo staring an airline in order to finally fly.

"Hello everypony, and welcome aboard Scoot(aloo) Airlines. I'm your captain, Scootaloo, and believe me when I say that it is my absolute pleasure to be flying today." :scootangel:

"On an unrelated note, for today's inflight meal service, we will be serving chicken."
