Dear Journal,
I got permission from Cheerilee to actually do this over a course of a few days. So I don’t have to worry about grades on my journal assignment until I go back, so here is my trip with the CMC and our ‘sisters’. I can’t believe that Sweetie Belle got Rarity to come along, because she’s such a girly girl. She can be as evil as her sister though sometimes, but she’s been taught by the best, her own sister. Applebloom and I just looked at each other in disbelief. Remind me not to cross her path in a bad way. Still we all got to go, and I got to hang out with Rainbow Dash!
The time with the greatest flyer alive was awesome. I mean she showed me all kinds of cool things that I never knew! It did get off to a rocky start though; she told two scary camp stories that actually gave me nightmares! I was so afraid to tell her that Princess Luna said in a dream that I had to face my fears. I didn’t want to until I thought I heard the headless horse when I first woke up and I ran! Later it turned out to be Rainbow Dash’s version of a snore, but I was so gripped with fear that I didn’t know it at the time.
I ended up in a river because I was so scared and my idol saved me! I’m still puzzled how she knew though from ear plugs, a deafening snore, and in dead sleep. I think it’s probably something to do with Luna, and if it is thank you so much! I actually owed up to it, and turns out that Rainbow Dash said she was once scared of the same things as me. Once I actually settled down and thought about it, I did see how silly I was. I mean a headless horse can’t neigh, it would be dead! I’m such a silly filly sometimes. Rainbow Dash did say she would take me under her wing and it was the happiest moment of my life! I was so happy when she said yes.
It was even more amazing when she actually showed me and held me up when she was flying when we got to our destination. Feeling the wind in my hair, feeling my wings flap in the air, and above all having my favorite Pegasus there besides me is just so indescribable. It’s something you can only experience in the moment. It’s truly something that takes your breath away and only Pegasi can understand.
The best thing about that day though is that Rainbow Dash and I sat on a cloud overlooking the sky as Sweetiebelle, Rarity, Applebloom, and Applejack were playing around. Just sitting there with her was so awesome she gave me all sorts of pointers for ponies that wanted to tease me for not being able to fly (yet). I eventually told her about my home life, and she got sad. She gave me a hug though, which was really cool. Rainbow Dash isn’t just cool, she is what her element is loyalty.
“Scootaloo, if I had known about that sooner I would’ve actually done this sooner. You should tell ponies about this because you shouldn’t have to be dealing with this alone. Now you don’t have to! You have many ponies behind you know? Myself in that being first though, then the others of course I can’t have my number one fan being hurt by some bully right?” Rainbow Dash said to me, and I will never forget it.
She’s right though, I’m not alone anymore. I don’t blame my mom for what happened to me. I just wish she had acted sooner than she did… I have my fellow CMC, their friends and family and also I have Rainbow Dash. She’s the best sister I could have, I don’t care if she’s not blood related. She’s exactly what I wanted in a sister and more.
Cheerilee actually agreed to let me spend some time with Rainbow Dash! The only down side is that I have school and she has a job with the weather patrol in the morning. So it’s not as much time as I would like. I did ask Rainbow if she could tell my mom what happened and that she knows everything now because of me. I hope my mom won’t be mad at me for letting Dash know, because it hurts me more not talking about what my dad did to me. I actually started telling my fellow CMC and they just hugged me as we cried together. I filled in Cheerilee what she didn’t already know as I did say she could read my journal as long as she kept it between us and her from now on. She agreed, and smiled at me. I’m so lucky to have many friends that understand and are in my corner this time.
It’s Hearth Warming Eve soon, so that means awesome presents! I also get to see my mom hopefully. I got word that my dad got ahold of her and beat her up pretty bad since he’s still around the town somewhere. The police haven’t caught him yet. He’s a sneaky pony unfortunately that is working out in his favor. He can’t last forever though; some pony will find him and make him pay for what he’s done and still doing to my mom and me. I do miss my mom… I miss hearing her voice, her hugs, and her smell.
I never thought I’d miss her so much since she’s always gone when I’m at home. I guess it’s because I was surrounded by things that were hers in the house I lived in. I do know that I’ll be moving into a new house when my mom gets things settled once in for all. She doesn’t want me coming back to a home that was full of hate. I don’t blame her though; I actually look forward to that day. I just hope that it’s soon. Until then I have my friends and adopted sister to keep me company. I have to go now; Rainbow Dash wants to show me Daring Do books before she goes for the day. This is going to be so cool! I didn’t now she read books!

Ah Blank, we meet again.
It's blank...like a flank.
Well, it's just an empty white box... perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they completely changed the site
Dear Journal,
I got permission from Cheerilee to actually do this over a course of a few days. So I donâ
That's about as much as I got.
1774301>>1774358>>1774525>>1775244 HOPEFULLY! I GOT IT FIXED~ :3 if not... i'm gonna be mad. at the site not working. ^.^; it took me 30 mins before i gave up and went to bed when the story didn't want to take other than the title.
So that's what happen in the Scootaloo episode. How cute for it to turn out that way in the end.
Still, nice update I cannot wait to see how you'll do the next chapter.
Eh, this was rather boring IMO. When this first started out, I really liked how it was more about your take of Scoot's home situation and what she was going through. If its turning into episode recaps, kinda doesn't do anything for me
Very nice, I like the story. However, it really doesn't work so well if you just go over episodes.
Otherwise, well done
1776020 Yeah it makes you seem lazy.
It happened in Scoot's life, and it seemed like a pretty big event, so she naturally would've mentioned it in her journal. And this is the first recap RogueShadow has ever done in this story--cut him/her some slack! Honestly...!!
1775623 it's NOT going to turn into episode recaps. :P this was just really hard for me to write things while battling writer's block.
1776020 o.O okay i did it ONE time like this. plus as i stated before i had writer's block.
1775623 Thank you for he positive response.
1776287 can guarantee that i'm not lazy. :p
1776480 ^.^; thanks... x.x
overall though I HAD WRITER'S BLOCK!!! It turned out better than i had expected, i probably will end up redoing it later. i did NOT intend of making it an episode recap. so cut me some slack, okay? the only way for me to push through such things is to actually write things out good or bad. i will end up redoing it later when i don't have 400 things to do. i have a life outside of writing. chrsitmas is coming around and things are are getting busy.
1776893 You're welcome. Good job so far, and I hope you can take some time off from hecticness to rest during the holidays.
1776893 I'm not saying you were but I was merely saying that if you turned this into episode recaps people would accuse you of being lazy even if you weren't. Some bronies on this site will pounce on anything for even the slightest of reasons.
We all have those days where we just stare blankly at the screen and groan not knowing what the hell to write.
Still, whatever you have in mind for later remember to check it for errors afterwards.
Do some editing. Seriously, it's painful to read from lack of proper proofreading.
1784269 as i have said previously the most recent chapter i'll be editing it when i get the time. christmas is a busy time for me, i also do have other things outside of the internet.
Nice to see you went back and editied this. Now I'm really worried about Scootaloo's mom, what if she dies?
1794647 i'm not going to reveal what happens with her mother, but yeah things aren't looking up for scoot's mother at the moment....
1794659 Uh-oh whatever happens poor Scootaloo is going to be tramutized I can feel it.
1794689 i hope not to do such a thing to her. D: i love scootaloo.
1794696 Yeah Scootalove is better than Scootabuse.
The revision is much better. Good work so far.
Hope someone can be there for Scoots mom.

And that's my reaction to everything in this story so far.
Well done.
times like this i wish there was a optimism or optimistic tag
I was gonna edit my original post, but FiM is derped atm. This revised chapter is a fantastic, much improvement was made from the first pass
As for people criticizing you for doing an episode recap first, relax. We were critiquing it because we knew you had it in you to better and wanted to point out where you could improve. I didn't see any flaming going on here, simply others lettingn you know that the episode recap angle didn't really work for what you were going after.
1796266 i didn't mean to come off as you guys flaming me. i've had people in the past light me on fire for ONE bad chapter, calling me a crap writer, etc etc, i'll never amount to anything as a writer (granted i have one poem published in an anthology buut that didn't know this). i also get stressed out easily. i know i had i can do better with writing than the recap.... i just had a bad writer's block. also the crazy stress of the holidays makes anyone go a little.... nuts
so i apologize if i came off has hostile.
1794696 Yeah, but sometimes, reality can be a Woof to the least possible pony. You never really know what's gonna happen. But when it does happen, we're never prepared to deal with them.
