A/N: Ummm...yeah, sorry about the wait. Kind of have been getting my flank kicked in school recently by classes and other things, so writing has been a bit difficult. Also came to the realization last night I might have diabetes...gonna get that looked into, but it’d explain a lot actually.
Thank you for everyone who has been supporting this story so far, and I hope to hear from you in the comments after the chapter to know what you thought! I also have some other stories you may like, so check out my profile if you like my style! Thank you, and enjoy!
It was with a long groan that Rainbow Dash looked over her completely totaled living room before turning to the cause of said mess. Or, rather, causes.
“Now what have we learned?”
“Sweetie Belle should’n do magic?” Apple Bloom offered as a solution.
“Hey!” her friend complained from beside her, her normally white horn displaying black burn marks at the tip.
Rainbow turned to the one she would likely have to talk to more later after the other two were picked up by their sisters, “Scootaloo.”
The orange filly bit her lip as she tried to come up with an important life lesson learned, “Suffering is magic?” Rainbow rolled her eyes, causing Scootaloo to try again, “Suffering is caused by magic?”
“Uhhhh…closer...” Rainbow was looking for something more along the lines of ‘Do not have the untrained Unicorn filly try levitating something that can explode’, but she could let Soarin handle that specification later. For now she just needed to make sure things did not get worse.
Apple Bloom piped up again, “At least Sweetie did’n get into the fireworks this time.”
“No fair! You used the codeword, so I launched them!” Sweetie Belle complained at her Earth Pony friend who was recounting that time they (or rather, she) launched a pile of fireworks for no good reason and burned down not only a shop, but also the gazebo Big Mac had been working on.
Whatever were they going to do with these three?
As the two continued to bicker, Rainbow Dash tried to interject, “This isn’t going anywhere, is it?” her words fell upon deaf ears and the two continued to argue, it now escalating to the point where hooves were flying and the two fillies began to tumble around on the ground as Scootaloo nervously watched them.
Rainbow Dash was not about to pry them apart, having been quite fond of solving things with her own hooves at the same age and never really having gotten beyond that point.
“When Soarin is back and can look after Scootaloo I’m going to bring you two home, okay?”
That sounds responsible, right? Rainbow tried to reassure herself of that just before the tumbling ball of flying hooves rumbled past her and collided with her side on the way.
Rainbow rubbed her hoof and winced as the fillies continued their brawl across the room. Why couldn’t they just have a book on this sort of thing? She was beginning to question whether she should intervene or not.
The sound of something breaking behind the Pegasus made Rainbow groan and shake her head, not feeling up to this.
“Soarin, where the Discord are you?”
Warm pie in satchel, Soarin was leaving Sugarcube Corner at that same moment when his eyes caught sight of something interesting. There were many ponies who looked alike in his experience, and this old friend happened to be one of them, but Soarin always prided himself in being able to know him at first glance...sixty percent of the time.
“Hey, Caramel! It’s me, Soarin, man!”
Across the street an orange pony with a brown mane turned to face Soarin with an ecstatic grin, his old friend’s voice immediately catching his attention.
“Soarin! What are you doing here?” Caramel asked as the two approached one another, meeting halfway through the street.
Soarin blushed as he thought about this little detour and how he should of been at Rainbow’s house a good half hour ago, but the promise of warm pie kept him waiting at Sugarcube Corner, “I’m visiting my marefriend right now, but I stopped to bring home some pie. How have you been?”
“I guess I’ve been doing well. Broke up with my ex-marefriend a bit ago when Ponyville got all wonky, but I’d say I’m good beyond that!” Caramel stated in a chipper voice, referring back to that one time that everypony in Ponyville hated eachother.
The idea of a breakup made Soarin a bit nervous. He knew he was engaged with Rainbow and all, but things did go sour in some relationships. He was determined to make sure that didn’t happen to him, as he was quite accustomed to how things were and wanted them to stay that way.
Soarin gave his friend a reassuring look, “Sorry about your break up, but I’m glad you’re doing better nowadays!”
Caramel shrugged before giving Soarin a light punch on the shoulder, “So, back to you, I couldn’t believe it when I heard you were a Wonderbolt! Shy Soarin, a Wonderbolt? That’s just so awesome!”
Soarin blushed. He was also accustomed to being given high praise, being a celebrity and all, but he tended to block it out given his general humility. Hearing it from an old friend though just made him plain bashful though, “It’s nothing all that special. Everypony is great at something, I’m just skilled at flying.”
“Hey, it’s better than being a farmhand in my book,” Caramel’s eyes quickly darted around the moment he finished saying that, “Not that I don’t love my job! Celestia, AJ better not have heard that…”
“AJ?” Soarin wracked his brain for a moment before remembering who that was, “Oh, is that the orange mare who’s Apple Bloom’s mom?”
“Sister, actually,” Caramel corrected with a weak laugh.
Soarin shrugged, “Messed that up the other day too...hopefully I learn before I run into her again! She’s good friends with Rainbow and I don’t want to make her mad.”
Caramel blinked, “Wait, you’re dating Rainbow Dash?"
The Wonderbolt questioned whether he should add that he was now engaged to Rainbow as well, but seeing as how he hadn’t talked with her about telling other ponies he decided to keep it under wraps, “Yeah, I guess you could call it that. Been awhile now too, actually. You know her?”
Caramel nodded his head with a grin, “She’s friends with my neighbor, Rarity-”
Soarin was sure he remembered this one, “The prissy but otherwise nice marshmallow?”
That seemed like an apt description to Caramel, who laughed, “That’s the one! But yeah, I’ve heard quite a bit about Rainbow. She’s become quite the celebrity in fact these past couple years! Always could see her sleeping around town before, but now everybody notices her!”
Soarin blinked, “Sleeping around town?”
Caramel nodded once again, “Yeah, you can find her on just about any of the clouds you see around town one day or the other!”
He didn’t seem to notice Soarin letting out a breath of relief as he continued, “So, you said you’re going over to her house now? I wouldn’t want to keep you! I should be heading back to Sweet Apple Acres myself...AJ hates it when I take too long!”
Soarin smiled to him and waved as he spread his wings to fly, “Have fun with that! It was nice seeing you man!”
He had no idea about what his little detour had led to.
“Honey?”
“Yes?”
“Why is everything broken?”
Soarin placed his still warm pies down on the only table in the living room not upturned or scorched, his face confused and worried. Rainbow Dash was in another room with the fillies from before, although Scootaloo had come to greet him at the door and was trailing behind Soarin.
“Hold that thought, you can talk with Scootaloo about it. I’m going to go drop off Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, okay? Be right back.”
Soarin turned to say goodbye, but Rainbow Dash whisked out the door with two fillies still trying to grab one another in her hooves. Soarin rose an eyebrow before looking down to Scootaloo.
“So...interesting day?”
She shrugged, not meeting his eyes, “Kinda. Didn’t know horns could spark and kinda catch fire before.”
Soarin nodded to that, also not having known that, before trying to piece together just what happened in the room. After a moment he decided a different question was in order, “Everpony okay?”
Scootaloo sighed, “Yeah. Sweetie just should put some ice on it and she should be fine. And Apple Bloom will need some on her eye from where she got hit.”
“What’s the matter?” Soarin bent down a bit so that he was at Scootaloo’s level, making it harder for her to look away from him.
The filly sniffed as she tried to not cry, keeping a neutral face on but failing to fool Soarin, “Mom-Rainbow’s not very happy. We kind of wrecked the place.”
Soarin leant his head forward and rubbed it against hers, nuzzling her forehead softly, “It’s okay Scootaloo. Accidents happen after all.”
Scootaloo reached her hooves forward to hug Soarin and he did the same, their embrace lasting just long enough for Rainbow Dash to zoom back into the house.
Rainbow dashed into the broken living room with a nervous smile, “Hey, sorry ‘bout that. Kind of wanted them to stop arguing.”
Soarin chuckled before nodding over to the pie in the room, “Pie?”
Rainbow shrugged, “Sure,” she looked down to Scootaloo, “Hey Scoots, can Soarin and I talk for a moment?”
Scootaloo nodded, not moving at all from the fuzzy light blue chest she was up against, “Sure.”
Her caretaker rolled her eyes, “I meant alone.”
The filly gave a nervous laugh as she exited the hug and scampered out of the room, “Oh, haha, of course. Totally knew what you meant.”
Soarin bit his lip as Rainbow looked to him, not sure what she wanted to say, “You’re not mad at me for being late, are you?”
“Only a little,” she pecked him on the face and giggled, “You can make it up to me after I carry you out of the wedding bridal style.”
Soarin laughed at the possibly-not-a-joke, “So, we going to announce it to your friends or-”
Rainbow Dash guffawed and shook her head no, “I rather not have them know just yet. Rarity will overreact and make it into some big production, Twilight will likely read everything there is on the subject matter and on you-”
Her fiance cut her off to clarify something, “Twilight, the unicorn with wings?”
“Yeah, that’s her!” Rainbow affirmed energetically before continuing with a deep breath, “But yeah, I’d rather hold off on them knowing for now. After all, we’re the only ones who need to know right now, right?”
“I guess-”
Soarin was the one cut off this time as an idea struck Rainbow Dash, “Hey, I think I should introduce you to my other friends! You’ve met them all except for Fluttershy and Twilight, so how about you meet them too?”
He supposed that such a thing would not be a bad thing, but the idea of meeting royalty unnerved him a bit, “Sounds like a good idea, I think?”
Rainbow nudged him gently as she spoke in an amused voice, “Oh come on, they aren’t all that bad. Fluttershy might duck for cover when she sees someone new, and Twilight might lecture you a bit but I doubt she’ll be that boring.”
Soarin lifted an eyebrow, “Princess Twilight lectures ponies?”
Rainbow scoffed“It’s what she’s best at. She’s a bit of an egghead after all.”
He stuck his tongue out at his avid reader, “Like a dragon calling a diamond dog greedy.”
“Hey!” she complained, only for Soarin to stick out his tongue again.
He laughed as she tried to grab the tongue with her hooves, “What? It’s true.”
Rainbow’s mood took a turn for the worst as something came to mind, her shoulders sagging as she spoke, “You know, I wish it’d rub off on Scootaloo...she’s barely doing better than me when I was in school.”
“Hmmm,” Soarin tried thinking about the issue. He hadn’t heard about this previously, not that Scootaloo had many chances to get report cards in the time he’d have been interested.
That said, the former academic was now very interested in Scootaloo’s learning, especially since his special somepony was not exactly an expert in the ways of studying, “Maybe having a dropout as an idol could have an effect on her desire to study.”
“Hey!” Rainbow Dash complained with a jab to his chest, Soarin snickering as he sidestepped it.
“Just saying that it is a possibility. How about I see if I can help her?”
Rainbow Dash lunged at him again, but this time it was to steal a kiss.
Having him and Scootaloo both made Rainbow quite sure there were not many luckier mares out there. Not everypony wished to be a princess after all. Some just were happy to have others to be with.
The three Pegasi were working on cleaning the broken and burnt living room when a polite knock on the front door caught all of their attentions.
“Who is it?” Rainbow called, only to receive no response. She gave Soarin a glance, seeing if he knew anypony that was coming over, but he shook his head no. The two left the living room, and the cleaning, to Scootaloo as the went to the door.
Rainbow opened the door to find a familiar face there.
Dressed in his same black suit was All Thread, who bowed to the mare in front of him, “Greetings miss Dash. I hope that I have not come at a bad time.”
Rainbow gave him an odd look, unsure as to why he was there, but opened the door fully for him to enter anyways, “No, not at all. Come on in.”
Soarin gave his family’s butler a curious look, not sure why he was there either, “What’s up, Alth?”
“I was in the area and decided to pay you a visit,” the stallion took a breath of the house’s air before continuing, “I take it there has been a fire of sorts?”
“Kinda, but-” Rainbow started, only to be cut off by All Thread heading directly to the living room.
“It will be handled.”
The two adults followed after him into the living room, where Scootaloo continued trying to sweep up soot and dust. The butler stopped in the room at the sight of Scootaloo, who similarly stopped what she was doing to look at him.
Soarin felt the need to introduce the two, seeing as they had not had the chance to meet yet, “Scootaloo, this is All Thread. He’s my family’s head butler.”
Scootaloo’s eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, “A butler? Your family has butlers? That’s awesome!”
Soarin gave a nervous chuckle as he thought about his family, “Alth, this is Scootaloo. Rainbow and I adopted her awhile back.”
All Thread bowed to the new addition to his master’s family, “It is a pleasure to meet you, miss Scootaloo.”
The pleasantries over, Soarin tried to stop All Thread from grabbing Scootaloo’s dropped broom and tray in vain as the butler scooped them up, “Now Alth, you don’t have to clean here. It’s really okay-”
The butler instantly got to work, simultaneously speaking in a polite but reprimanding tone to Soarin, “Master Soarin, you once tried to convince me you could clean a dining room by yourself to celebrate your parents anniversary. It happens to be the only time my job has ever been threatened because of how terrible it looked afterwards.”
Rainbow laughed at her special somepony as he blushed and thanked the stallion, “Point taken. Thank you Alth.”
All Thread looked to Scootaloo as she stood in his path of cleaning and gave her a small smile, “Young lady, you may go about your business. I can handle this myself, so you need not worry yourself on my account.”
Like music to her ears Scootaloo would swear, and the young filly dashed off out of the room to go do filly things, “Thanks mister!”
Soarin gave a nervous laugh as he watched Alth go about cleaning at a faster and more efficient rate than all three of them had been going together, “I’d offer to help if I wouldn’t get in the way.”
The butler nodded to him as he continued to work, “The would-be offer is appreciated, sir.”
Just as suddenly as the guest had arrived, he fulfilled his duty and left, even turning down offers of eating with them and taking some pie back with him. Soarin was quite sure he knew no more humble a pony than All Thread, and was grateful that at least somepony was sane in that manor back home.
As the day went on, Soarin decided he best enact that plan he mentioned to Rainbow earlier about helping Scootaloo with her work. He found her in her room, eyes glued to a television set where a movie was playing on the screen.
Soarin knocked on her door before entering, giving a large smile to the filly, “So, Scootaloo, what’s up?”
Scootaloo barely even looked to him as the movie continued, the filly completely absorbed into the events on it, “Watching a movie.”
Soarin sat down beside her on her bed, quickly admiring the Rainbow Dash style sheets, and noticed that he had seen the movie before, “I like a lot of the Marevel films.”
The movie, Thor, was having an action scene playing out which was what was capturing Scootaloo’s nigh-undivided attention, “This one has my favorite characters. Prince Loki is so much like Princess Luna, who is so much more awesome than Princess Celestia.”
Soarin took a moment to think about what she said before realizing that he agreed with her, “You know, they are a bit similar. Jealousy issues, older siblings people like better, falling from grace in an attempt to get respect...odd, huh?”
“They should totally get married after he gets out of prison,” Scootaloo replied deadpan, apparently shipping her princess with the movie’s prince.
Soarin rubbed her head affectionately as he laughed, “Fictional characters can’t get married to ponies, silly,” he noticed that this scene was only at an early part of the movie given its setting, but he was fine waiting to do what he came to do, “Now, when it’s over I want to talk to you about your schoolwork.”
That got Scootaloo’s attention away from the screen, her voice panicked, “Please don’t get mad. I don’t wanna fall asleep, but Miss Cheerilee’s so boring-”
Soarin shook his head to stop her, “I’m not mad at all. I didn’t do too well in school for years when I had some things going on in my life, and I had things infinitely easier than you. I just want to help you, okay?” he wrapped a hoof around her and pulled the filly in to a hug, which she quickly returned.
The fear quickly faded from Scootaloo as she realized he was there to help her, not scold her, and she settled into leaning her head on him, “Can you help me with my math then tonight? Reading isn’t so bad, but I don’t really like numbers.”
Soarin nodded to her before nuzzling noses with the filly, “No problem. You’ll be an ace in no time with a little help, I’m sure. Math and science are my specialties after all, since I studied Aeronautics in school. Flight academy and all.”
Scootaloo averted her eyes, “I wish I could go to a flight academy, but they don’t want ponies who can’t fly.”
Soarin was not about to have her feel sorry for herself, so he spoke up, “Hey, you’re getting better aren’t you?” Scootaloo nodded, having managed to get to where she could hover now without much incident.
The Wonderbolt took a hoof to move her head, making her face him as he spoke reassuringly, “How about this, if you manage to improve your grades enough I’ll see if I can take some time off from work and come get you after school. We can get a lot more practice in that way.”
“Thank you,” Scootaloo whispered to him. Soarin could feel the fur on his side grow the slightest bit wet, not that he cared, and he embraced her again. After a moment Scootaloo pulled herself back so that she could look up at him.
“So, uh, I’ve been wondering...what exactly do I call you?” she asked softly.
“Uhhh…” come to think of it, Soarin didn’t really care what she called him so long as it wasn’t anything bad, “Whatever you want, really.”
Scootaloo leaned her head on him and closed her eyes, “You and Rainbow are gonna get married, right?”
He had not asked Dash about telling Scootaloo, but he was quite sure she was a risky pony to tell given her age and chance of telling her friends who happened to be sisters of who they were keeping this a secret from, “Uhhh, what makes you say that?”
“I overheard you guys,” Scootaloo noted with a nervous grin, “So, if you’re getting married, I can call you dad right?”
Soarin nodded. He liked the sound of that.
Scootaloo squeezed him tightly, “I love you, Dad.”
“I love you too, Scootaloo,” he kissed her forehead before retracting and nodding towards the open door, “How about I go make us some popcorn for us to eat while we finish the movie?”
“Woohoo, popcorn!”
He’d grab Rainbow while he was down there. Some family time would be nice to have, especially since he did not have any work the next day.
As the movie ended and Soarin helped Scootaloo with her homework, the night got darker and darker. Rainbow Dash came up to the room and tapped her daughter’s shoulder to remind her of her nightly rituals.
“Okay, it’s bed time Scoot. Go brush or Colgate won’t be happy.”
“Okay,” Scootaloo replied in a depressed tone, her head tired and longing for her pillow and not her toothbrush.
Rainbow shook Scootaloo a little bit to wake her up, “Brushie-brushie missie!”
Scootaloo scampered out of the room to the bathroom so that she could do just that, leaving Soarin and Rainbow Dash in the room.
Soarin grinned at Rainbow, “She’s just like you, Dashie.”
His fiance shrugged, “Yeah, but I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not.”
He laughed as he took a playful jab at her, “I know what you mean! You’re quite a handful-”
Rainbow stuffing a hoof in his mouth cut him off, letting her reply to him with an amused voice, “I’ll admit I’m...slightly difficult to handle, but so what? I’m worth it.”
“So is Scootaloo, right?” Soarin asked, already knowing the answer.
His fiance laughed, “Yeah, you’re right. Doesn’t make having a pre-made filly easier to handle.”
Soarin stretched out as a yawn overtook him, also getting up to head out the door, “She worships you, Dash. Wish I had a fan like that.”
Rainbow followed him out in the hallway, where she kissed him on the lips and brought him in for a hug, “You do. She just got so lucky to be able to date you.”
Their hug was interrupted by a small hoof poking them. The adults looked down to see Scootaloo, teeth sparkling, looking up at them.
The filly glanced over to Rainbow’s room as she spoke, “So, Dad, are you going to be sleeping over tonight?”
“Sleeping over?” that was not a thing Soarin did just about ever, given how far away he lived and the irregularity of their schedules.
Scootaloo nodded vigorously, “Yeah! In some of the books I read special someponies live together in a house, even before they get married, so I was wondering if you were going to live here too.”
“Well, I...” he glanced over to Rainbow who only smiled at him, “It’s Dashie’s house and I have to go to work a bit away so I haven’t really moved in here 100%. Not that I have work tomorrow though...”
Scootaloo noticed what he meant, so she trotted into her room and let out a yawn, “Ahh, okay. Well, goodnight mom and dad.”
“Goodnight squirt,” Rainbow called to her as the door closed, leaving her with Soarin in the hallway.
The blue mare looked to the blue stallion with a large and mischievous smile, “Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired, Daddy. Wanna go to bed?”
“Uhhhmm...sure?”
They would have both fallen asleep right then and there if Soarin hadn’t learned that Rainbow snored quite loudly. He considered the snoring worth it, having been upgraded from the couch to her bed.
A/N: Thank you for reading, and I hope I can hear what you thought in the comments below! Your support inspires me, and I'd love to hear from you all! And feel free to check out my other stories if you enjoyed this one! I'm always looking for new comments and thoughts on them as well!
Shouldn't that be
“Sweetie Belle shouldn't do magic?”
3572554 Apple Bloom is speaking, so no
3572562
just checking and good work
This was too adorable for words.
Also, I laughed at the note at the beginning and the comments about Loki later on and it made me wonder why you passed up the opportunity to merge the two stories more thoroughly. I am not seeing anything here that would contradict We Remember Everything and it would give you even more openings for fun. The only possible issue I can see is if you have something really earth shaking planned for that, but I doubt anything you did there would be major enough that it could not be ignored given how this story is almost entirely focused on the fluffy relationship dynamics rather than the world around them.
I get the feeling the some how there shall be rumors spreading soon. I am surprised at the random appearance of All Thread and how out of the blue he appeared and disappeared. Was there a reason for it or just to have him pop up? lol
3572685 The point of this story being adorable fun means that this chapter apparently was a success.
Oh, the way I write my stories I put nods to all of the others in them whenever I can, so this story COULD be a part of We Remember Everything if one wishes it to be, but it doesn't have to be. I like leaving it more open ended like that as I don't like tying people's feelings up about pairings they don't like, that way people's shipping doesn't get in the way of them enjoying any one of my stories. But for those, like you, who read multiple of mine it lends to some fun bits
I swear I even referenced my story about Cobra Commander "Unmasked" somewhere in either here or "We Remember Everything"...can't remember where though, as I usually veil the references a bit
And you're right, nothing major enough has happened yet in the other story that couldn't just be glossed over here.
Yet.
3572696 Oh, it had a purpose. You'll see
That was a lovely slice-of-life chapter. It had its cute and heart-warming moments but you still have the characters of Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo right, which is important. You've also got me looking forward to the first meeting/party/interrogation session between Soarin and the rest of the Mane Six.
Obviously all unicorns go through periods of magical outbursts as their abilities manifest. Of course, Sweetie Belle does not have such violent outbursts as filly Twilight did but I think that Rainbow can thank her lucky stars for it.
Stallion!Loki/Luna shipping? You realise that you've created a meme now, don't you?
3572776 Thank you very much for your praise, and with next chapter being "Meet the (Big) Friends" you needn't wait too long for that confrontation you are looking forward to.
"Suffering is magic", a valuable lesson taught to us by our neighborhood pony Hecarim: Hecarim's in-game joke
And if you thirst for Loki/Luna now, why not read my Loki/Luna story?
UPVOTE-DAMA!

And here's a Nightcore song for the holidays…
ENJOY IT AND DANCE!
3573264 It took this many chapters?
Thank you though, and I'm glad you enjoyed. What'd you like in particular?
I love each and every part of these stories, whether they be long or short. They're just so expertly written. This is now Canon in my mind.
<3
Yay!! update.....seems like things are getting better......can't wait for the next one n-n
3573493 I am so pleased you have enjoyed the story enough to make it your canon
I hope you continue to enjoy the story as it continues!
3573563 Nor can I! First I have to survive this week of work, then I can see about getting it done!
3573571
I undoubtedly will, I can say that much for sure!
Next thing will be the grand announcement. The girls will freak.
So are you getting legit type 2 diabetes or are you commenting on how cute and daww-tastic the chapter is?
I like how you had Soarin get nervous from the phrase "Dash sleeps around town", quite funny when the truth is so much more innocent!
Daaaww! Soarin is Scoots daddy!!
Is this your second or third to last chapter?
The tone of your notes make it seem like it.
3574114 I am displaying a good deal of the symptoms of diabetes, but have possibly up to a month until I can get it checked out... I wish it was just the chapter...
And yeah, I wrote that line originally just a simple way to explain how a background pony knows RD, but when I read it to myself...well, first I laughed and then I added Soarin's reaction.
Soarin is best dad
This is nowhere near the last chapter as I have more than 4 planned still, and those are just ones I know I'm already doing. To put this in perspective, I originally only had 2 chapter ideas and have ended up with 6 chapters, so it's fair to say that there can be anywhere from 5-8 more coming. And even then possibly more if I come along with a new idea.
Author, it would make my week if you made Rainbow Dash's educational specialty meteorology, since it is my major in college. (So much calculus.)
Also, it would make a lot of sense being that she is a weather pony in the show.
3574554 Well, I could see her knowing a thing or two about it but she's a drop out and thus would not be the most knowledgeable pony around
Still, she isn't dumb, so knowing things related to her work would just be a given to some level. She just wouldn't be able to say much about how the cloud factory works, only that it does.
3573316 The fact that All Thread is a lookalike to Walter C. Dornez from Hellsing, who uses THREADS TO KILL VAMPIRES!
static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904213846/hellsing/images/7/7b/Walter_C_Dornez_1.jpg
THOSE FEELS
I have to admit I'm enjoying this
3574732 Naah, more like this fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/060/7/d/alfred_pennyworth_pony_by_gumboinafedora-d1wao8s.jpg
Yours looks ridiculously cool though
3574757 That's what I'm looking for!
3574231
Oh.... Well I now feel kinda bad about asking about it.
Got tingling in the feet and hands?
Over 6 more chapters planned?!
All aboard the Meeting train!!
Choo! Choo!
Ehhh, close enough.
3574866 Still… All Thread, who's a butler for a very wealthy family… and he's extremely professional. That sums up Walter C. Dornez. Only All Thread doesn't kill vampires. At least… I have no PROOF of this…
3574927 It's okay...I just hope I can get it looked into sooner rather than later.
As for the Meeting train, I swear I put myself in a corner with that naming convention based on Team Fortress 2's "Meet the (word)" videos. Still, it amused me at the time so I guess it was worth it.
I have a feeling Scootaloo would like trains for some reason. They've got wheels and all, like her scooter.
3574931 Hecarim is pleased, so it is good enough
3575301 True, but All Thread is like Alfred. Like how Sleep Near could be like Sleipnir
3575334 Oh… still, I'm going for the 'ponified Walter C. Dornez' road. But that's your point of view.
3575325
I really liked the father/daughter bonding moment you had in this chapter with Soarin and Scoots, that was adorable. Also I liked that you used a reference to the comics when Sweetie Belle burned Dash's living room, I love the comics and its rare to see people use them in their stories especially since they are cannon to the show so that was nice to see.
I can't wait to see what happens next but for now I shall read the other Scootadopt fic that updated today that I'm following which has Applejack being the one that adopts Scoots. See you next chapter.
3575703 I forgot Sweetie did something like that in the comics...I do like the comic canon, don't get me wrong, but I totally spaced out on that. Just thought it'd be something funny to do
As for the bonding moment, I am all for them! That is what this story is for! Fluffy goodness!
3575325
Yeah, diabetes isn't something to fool around with.
Judging from the success of the TF2 "Meet the X" campaign, I think that its a good naming scheme.
Trains go fast!!
Huzzah! (they need a Princess Luna emote....) meh...
I suppose Berry Punch sleeps around town too. In the park, the gutter...And Soarin mentioned how at least one pony (All Thread) was still sane at his parents home but has he been around Ponyville? Has he even meet Dash? No-one in this town is sane! You could build a barbed-wire fence around city limits, call it an asylum and no-one would ever know the difference.
It's good to see Scootaloo stay out of a fight.
Now Soarin...SNUGGLE HER, and tell us all six scents her mane smells like. I'm guessing: R)Strawberry O)Orange Y)Dandelion G)Freshly cut grass B)Wild flower V)Lanvander
3578542 Scootaloo knows better than to make matters worse by fighting in front of RD right after they scorch the living room Other two, not so much since she isn't their family.
And yes, Soarin and Scootaloo snuggles are good Need to get one of all three of em...
3577164 Yeah, they need to give her more love...I give her just the right amount with my ongoing story with her Scootaloo appeared in that one as well, so I had her reference it in this one.

You write things like this and expect not to have diabetes?
Seriously, think, damnit.
In all seriousness, I loved this chapter just as much as I loved the previous ones.
And hope you're all good

So much d'aaaaawww that I think it exceeds the legal limit set by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Might have to report this, it's clearly too adorable for words.
Another lovely chapter. It'll be interesting to see how this develops further. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. It wasn't easy, and it took a lot of procrastination and hem-hawing, but it... sorta... something something... I dunno, I'll finish it later.
Take it away, Pinkie.
"Yay!" *Throws popcorn one kernel at a time towards the author*
