> My time in Ponyville > by booscus > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So here I am writing about my experience. I sat down next to my computer and started surfing the Internet. I was reading all the My Little Pony pictures and memes and reading fimfiction stories when I came across a picture that had a picture of a portal, but on the other side of it, through the portal, it had a picture of Ponyville. The caption said “You have one minute... Enter? Leave? Would anyone miss you?” I looked back and saw my parents arguing again. I turned back to my computer and I knew it wasn’t going to work but I touched my hand to the monitor. When it touched the portal on the screen I couldn’t believe my eyes! My fingertips were actually in the screen! In Ponyville! I wanted to see how far I could go in and I went my whole arm length before I pulled back out. I looked back once more at my parents who haven’t talked to me since a week and a half ago; they were too busy fighting with each other. I didn’t have to think twice. I shoved my whole arm back into the screen and tried to squeeze my shoulder in too. As soon as my shoulder popped in, the portal started getting bigger and bigger until I could simply walk into it. I looked back at my parents one more time and mouthed the words “Bye guys.” They never even glanced over to see what was going on. I took one big step through the portal and it closed behind me. It went dark very quickly and I got the sensation of falling. This lasted for a few moments before I saw a small opening where I saw a shimmer of light. It got bigger and bigger until- thud! I landed with a tumble. I stood up and almost immediately fell over. I looked down and saw I had hooves. I rubbed my eyes with my hooves and looked at them again. I stood up rather shakily on all fours but I managed to stay up this time. I looked around and it was amazing, it looked just like the show! I looked up and saw the Wonderbolts soar across the sky. I looked down at my hands- or rather hooves. They were a grayish-blue color. Kind of like the sky when it was about to rain or snow. I reached back and pulled at my tail. It was the same chocolate brown that I had in the real world. I looked back at my flank to see if I had a cutie mark and it was blank. I went around town looking for a mirror to check myself out. It was a hard getting used to walking like a pony but I got the hang of it fairly easily. I finally found my way to Rarity’s boutique. I found a mirror that looks like she had thrown out because of a crack and I looked at myself. I looked…young. I looked like I was only 7, about 13 years younger than I really was. I had a short yet still slightly bushy tail the same color as my mane. I looked at my side and saw I had wings! I stretched them out and tried flying. I didn’t make it in the air. I thought to myself that I would try later. I chuckled at myself. I had realized that I was filthy. I had leaves in my mane, dirt was all over my coat, and I had a long cut on my side. I was just about to turn around to leave when Rarity charged out, ranting about “what a filthy little colt” I was. I sat down and looked at the ground shamefully as she started pulling the leaves out of my mane. She went behind me and pushed me inside. She took a brush and started brushing out my mane when there was a soft knock at the door. Rarity trotted over to the door and opened it when Fluttershy walked in. She saw me sitting there and stopped talking. I lifted my head a little to look at her. I walked over and held out my hoof. I quietly said “Hi, my name is Scout” “I’m Fluttershy.” She held out her hoof and shook mine. Rarity walked over and said “Scout, where are you from? I haven’t seen you here before.” I replied “I’m from really far away.” “Well I’m assuming your one of Sweetie Belle’s friends. I’ll go get her for you.” Before I could protest, Rarity trotted away. I thought to myself, well I guess I came here to make friends, why not start with Sweetie Belle. When Rarity came back, I saw Sweetie Belle trotting along behind her. She looked up at me and said “Rarity, thought you said it was one of my friends. I’ve never him before.” I could feel my cheeks getting red as I sat there looking at the ground. Rarity asked me “Where do you live, Scout?” I quietly replied “I don’t really live anywhere I guess.” Fluttershy piped in, “you have to live somewhere. Everybody here in Ponyville has a place to live.” I continued to look at the ground, starting to wonder where I was going to live in Ponyville. Fluttershy started inching towards me and said so quiet I almost couldn’t hear her, “Scout, you can come live at my house if you want. My only rule is that you have to be calm and quiet as to not scare the animals”. She looked at the ground the entire time she said this. I looked up at her with bright eyes (that I found out were green, just like I had in the other world). I showed Fluttershy a big smile which was my way of telling her “thank you”. She showed that little smile of hers back. Fluttershy and I were almost out the door when Fluttershy ran back to Rarity and said, I almost forgot. She delicately handed Rarity her cat, Opal. “She’s all cleaned and she behaved very well”. Opalescence rubbed against Fluttershy’s leg before jumping on the bed for a nap. Fluttershy and I were on our way to Fluttershy’s house when pinkie pie ran up in front of me so I couldn’t walk anywhere. Fluttershy said in her very sing-song voice “Hi, Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie was staring at me and at a closer-than-comfortable distance. I tried to back away but she kept coming closer asking me questions about me like “what’s your name?” “How old are you?” etc… I was finally saved when AppleJack came up and pulled her off of me. “That’s enough now Pinkie Pie” I looked at AppleJack when Applebloom came from behind AJ. Applebloom held out her little hoof and said “Hi there stranger. What’s your name? I ain’t never seen you ‘round here before” I quietly mumbled “scout”. “Sorry I didn’t catch that.” “Scout” I said it a little louder that time. “Scout? I like that name. I ain’t ever heard that name before. I'm Applebloom. Nice to meet you.” “I smiled a little bit at her and thought, I'm making a friend. I'm really making a friend. When AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were all done talking, we all left. Applebloom went with AppleJack, Pinkie Pie hopped away blowing a party favor, and Fluttershy and I walked to her cottage. When we got there, it was amazing. There must have been at least one of every type of animal there. I was taking this all in when something hit me in the shin…hard. I fell over in pain when I heard Fluttershy scolding her rabbit, Angel. When she gave him the stare, he pouted a little but walked away. Fluttershy helped me up and asked me if I was ok. I gave her a nod and stretched out my wings again as far as they would go before pulling them back in again. I tried flapping them again and only really got a few inches off the ground before I fell again. Fluttershy smiled a little bit and told me, “You’ll learn someday. I wasn’t a very strong flyer when I was your age either.” I smiled a little and we walked into her little house together. I couldn’t believe it. There were even more animals inside! I looked around and saw a staircase going up. I started up. When I got to the top I saw two bedrooms. I assumed one was for me and one was for her. She met me at the top of the stairs and said “the bedroom on the right is yours. I'm right across the hall if you need me.” I thanked her and walked into my bedroom. As soon as I got comfortable on the bed I saw a streak of colors fly through the open window and land on my floor with a crash. I screamed and climbed under my bed. I tried to crawl further under when I felt the thing pulling me out. It said “Come on! Stop being such a wimp!” I recognized the voice. I relaxed a little as it pulled me out. I looked up and my guess was right. It was Rainbow Dash, the best flyer to ever come out of Cloudsdale! I looked at her in amazement. She grabbed my hoof and shook it rather hard. “The name’s Rainbow Dash. I’ve never seen you around here. What’s your name, kid?” I sat up and tried to make out the words but all that came out was a small squeak. She laughed and said “Cat got your tongue?” I finally managed to spit out “My name’s Scout” “Cool name kid. How come you’re here? Don’t you think your parents are worried about you?” “She’s letting me stay here until I find somewhere to live.” “How come you don’t have a place to live?” “I just moved here…well sort of.” “Oh well I know a bunch of pegasi that can help put together a house for you in ten seconds flat.” To Be Continued... > Chapter 2. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash and I quickly finished up there conversation. Dash went downstairs and left me upstairs. I looked around the room to find anything, anything at all to do. The room consisted of the bed that I was sitting on, a desk to the right of me and a closet on my left. I realized how much smaller the house looked from outside. I walked over to the desk and opened one of the drawers. I found several empty notebooks. Most of them were normal sized but there a few pocket sized ones. They were all filled with blank pages. The drawer below that contained several packages of pencils. They were all sharpened. I took a pencil with his mouth and set it on the bed. Then I gently took a notebook as to not get the pages wet or wrinkled. I walked over to the bed and jumped up. I tried to take a pencil in my hoof but couldn’t grip it right. I thought of how he could hold it and remembered seeing somepony holding it in her mouth. I took it in my mouth and started drawing. I was very surprised how naturally it felt to draw with my mouth. I started drawing possible cutie marks for me since I had a blank-flank. One was a pencil and paper for drawing; another was a portal, not unlike the one that I had come here in. My mind started to wander and I started drawing things from back home without realizing it. First I drew the pet bunny that I had when I was 6. Then I started drawing memories. Not the good ones either. I heard a soft knock at the door when I was finishing up a drawing the scene when my dad threw my puzzle against the wall. I very clearly remember him saying “Puzzles are for girls! NO SON OF MINE IS GOING TO BE DOING PUZZLES!” There was another knock at my door and I hear Fluttershy say in that sweet little voice of hers “Scout, it’s time for dinner…if you don’t mind.” I slid off the bed and opened the door. I smiled a little and walked down the stairs next to her. She looked over and me and gasped. I snapped my head at her wondering what she was so worried about. I saw her looking at my side. I looked down and saw the big cut that I had gotten from falling into Ponyville. I had completely forgotten about it until now. ----------- She ran upstairs faster than I could say anything. By the time she had gotten back, I was downstairs. Fluttershy was carrying a small first-aid box in her mouth and she set it on the table. She told me “Scout, if you wouldn’t mind, can I clean your cut…please?” My eyes widened and I tried to shrink back. I shook my head. “Scout, would you mind if…um…if I cleaned up your cut a little bit?” “No thank you, I’m okay, Fluttershy, really. See? Look, it’s already starting to dry up.” “Come on, Scout. You don’t need to be scared.” I started backing away slowly until I got to the stairs. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs until my foot caught on one of the stairs. I slipped and started tumbling down the stairs. I lay in a crumpled ball of pain at the bottom of the stairs. Fluttershy ran over as fast as she could over to me and helped me up. “Oh My Goodness, Scout, are you okay?” She helped me up carefully. My cut reopened to where it starting dripping. I looked down at it. It actually hurt this time. I winced a little at the sight of it. I sat down on the floor and Fluttershy came over with her tiny first-aid box. She put it down and smiled hopefully. I said “okay” reluctantly. She smiled big and opened up the small box. It had a roll of medical tape, a roll of bandage strips, and a small bottle of numbing spray. I shifted uncomfortably as she took out the bottle. She assured me that this wouldn’t hurt a bit. She spritzed a little spray which immediately took away any pain that was still lingering. She took the bandages and wrapped it around my midsection a few times to cover the whole cut before cutting it off and taping it in place. She smiled and said “See that wasn’t so bad? Was it?” I shook my head and inspected her work. It looked good but was very restricting. It went over my wings, so I guess I won’t be trying to fly anytime soon. I stood up right when I heard another knock at the door. -------- There was a purple pony standing at the door. She had a dark purple almost blue mane with dark purple and bright pink streaks in it. She walked in with a purple and green reptile following her. I tilted my head slightly, looking at the…the lizard? I tried to sneak away upstairs before they saw me but it was the late. The lizard-like reptile ran up to me and said “Aw Cool! Look Twilight, a new pony!” I looked around to see if I could find a way out of this situation but there was nothing. The purple pony, I found out to be Twilight, came trotting over to me. She held out her hoof and said very matter-of-factly “Hi, My name is Twilight Sparkle.” I took her hoof and shook it. Fluttershy came over to introduce us. “Scout, this is Twilight Sparkle and Spike. Twilight, Spike, this is Scout.” I gave them a small smile before finally backing up and going upstairs. I could hear them through the walls. I heard Spike say “What’s his problem?” Fluttershy replied very calmly “Oh, he’s just shy. I'm sure he’ll warm up soon enough.” I thought that’s weird. I've never been called ‘shy’ before. I was usually so outgoing. ------- I started thinking back to how I got here. It was only a couple hours ago but the memory was getting fuzzy and I couldn’t remember the details. I grabbed my notebook and started doing a rough sketch of what I could remember. I drew the portal with my hand sticking through it and another sketch of me walking through it. I ripped the papers out, folded them up, and put them on the desk. When I put the notebook back in the drawer, there was a tapping at my window. I turned around to see Rainbow Dash staring in and waving. I opened the window and she stepped in. She had a big smile on her face. “Hey, squirt; I have a surprise for you. Follow me.” To Be Continued. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I looked up at Rainbow Dash with curiosity in my eyes. My head was tilted slightly. “A-a surprise…for me?” “Yeah, kid, and maybe on the way there, you can tell me how you made your way over to Ponyville.” I nodded a little bit, my brain going through the possibilities of what it could possibly be. She flew down stairs and was back in a few seconds. “I told Fluttershy that I was going to take you somewhere for a little bit.” I looked back at my bandages and started unwrapping them carefully. I rolled it up sloppily and put it on the desk. I unfurled my wings and flapped them until I could feel myself lift off the ground slowly. I laughed out of pure happiness. Rainbow Dash climbed out the circular window she came in and hovered right outside of it. I went up to the window and looked at the ground below. If I hit the ground, it would hurt. I closed my eyes and hoped for the best. I squeezed through and jumped. I let my wings expand and started flapping as hard as I could. I opened my eyes and saw that I was very slowly, but steadily, ascending. Dash was getting impatient. “C’mon, kid. I don’t have all day!” I started flapping slower, but getting more air with each stroke. I started going up a little faster until I was finally level with Dash. “Are you ready, kid?” she said excitedly. I nodded and flew around in a circle, getting used to the feeling of being in the air. We flew for about half an hour until she stopped in front of a giant house, almost a mansion, but something about it was different…It was made out of clouds! I flew up to it, getting a little more confident with my flying, and laid a hoof down on the ‘yard’. When I was sure that I wouldn’t fall through, I put all four hooves on it. I looked up with my mouth wide open. Rainbow Dash flew in next to me and asked: “So? Do you like it?” “Like it? I LOVE it!” --------- I walked up to the front door and opened it. It opened up to a large living room. It had a very large couch with a coffee table in front of it. All of which was made of cloud. I looked to my right and saw stairs going up and to my left I saw a kitchen. I walked over to the kitchen which had an oven, fridge, and lots of counterspace. Only the counters were made of the white cloud. I trotted over to the stairs and went up. There was a small hallway that went behind me. It had three doors in it. I turned to my right and looked in the first door to my left. It was a bathroom. It had a mirror above a sink in the counter, a toilet, and a large open area. “Hey, Rainbow Dash?” “Yeah, Kid?” “Why is there a big empty space in the bathroom?” “It’s the shower, squirt.” “But there’s no shower head.” She went over to the wall inside the bathroom next to the toilet and poked a piece of cloud that stuck out. Water immediately started pouring from the ceiling. She pushed the button again and it turned off. I mumbled “So cool” to myself. I went down further the hallway and opened the second door. There was a small bedroom with a cloud bed and two end tables on each side of it. It had a desk across the bed and a closet on the other side of the room. I walked over and laid on the bed. “Oh. My. Gawd,” I said a little louder than usual “THIS IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE THING EVER” I was almost yelling when I said this. Rainbow Dash leaned against the door frame and laughed. “HA! You don’t think this is your bedroom, do you? this is just the guest bedroom. Kid, follow me.” I got up and followed her to the last door. She opened it and I could not believe my eyes. --------- There was a circular bed in the middle of the room on a platform. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing right. The platform was surrounded by water. Probably about a foot and a half of water which to a pony, came up to about you neck. There was a bridge that closed the gap between the bed and door. I ran over to my bed and laid down on it. I looked up and saw the sky. I looked at Rainbow Dash. “Hey, Dash, what if it rains or snows or something? Won’t I get wet?” “No, I had Twilight put a spell on it.” “Cool.” I was mesmerized by all of this. “How did you build this so fast?” “Easy, I had a little help.” “It’s beyond amazing…” “Of course it is. It’s an exact replica of my house…except no rainbows. I didn’t think you would like the rainbows.” I stood up and gave Rainbow Dash a big bear hug. She flinched at first but eventually gave in and patted my back. When I let go I told her “Thank you very much.” She nodded and zoomed off. I walked out to the hallway and into the bathroom. I pushed the button that Dash had pushed to turn on the shower and watched the rain fall from the ceiling. I stepped under the water and watched the now brownish-gray water go through the floor. When I thought I was clean enough I turned off the water and shook myself like a dog would. I looked in the mirror and my brown hair was flying everywhere. I would have to get a brush from Rarity soon. I went downstairs and out the front door. I stuck my wings out and jumped. I started flapping and stopped about a foot off the ground. I flapped harder, imagining that I was pushing the air down. I started flying circles around my house, just to practice my flying. After flying for a few minutes the sun went down and the moon was up. I didn’t care though, I needed to practice, was so slow. Maybe if I could get good enough, I could race Dash. That would be so awesome. --------- Every lap around my house, I tried to go a little faster each time. By the time I decided to go to bed, an hour and a half had passed. I tried to land gracefully on my lawn, but didn’t slow down enough and ended up tumbling to my front door. I would have to work on my landing. I walked up the stairs to my bedroom. I lay down on my bed and pulled the blue blanket up to my chin. I was asleep within seconds. ---------- There was a dark space. There was absolutely nothing, just…black. I tried to move my legs but they wouldn’t budge. It was like they were being held in place. The only part of my body I could move was my eyes. The more I tried to move, the more I was held in place. It was getting harder to breathe. I tried to say something, anything, but my mouth wouldn’t open. I couldn’t breathe. I could feel my heart beat slowing down. ---------- My eyes shot open and I was covered in a cold sweat. I could barely catch my breath. My heart was beating at what seemed like a million beats per minute. I clutched my chest as I sat up. I stood up and walked out the door. I went downstairs and outside. I jumped off the lawn and went flying as fast as I could. It wasn’t very fast but it was better than walking. I found what I assumed to be the center of Ponyville. I slowed down and tried to land as gracefully as I could which was better than last time. I shivered slightly in the night air. I found a small wooden bench and sat on it until I calmed down. When I stood back up, I heard something behind me. It sounded like hoof-steps. I turned around to see nothing there. I opened my wings and flew up a couple of feet hoping I’d be out of their reach. I looked down and didn’t see anything. I went back to the ground. I said softly to myself “I'm probably just hearing things” I went along walking back to my house when I heard laughing.It wasn’t normal laughing though, it was like someone trying to hold it in and be quiet. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My house was in sight when I heard the laughter again. I turned around as fast as I could and saw a little filly. I haven’t met her yet. She had her front legs up like she was about to scare me. She groaned loudly when I saw her. I chuckled to myself. She reminded me of somepony. I looked at her closely and realized that she looked at lot like Rainbow Dash; except her coat was bright orange and she had a pretty purple mane. She held her hoof out and said “Hi, my name is Scootaloo. Who are you?” I took her hoof and shook it. “I'm Scout. What are you doing out this late, kid?” “Well I saw you walking around and thought it might be a good opportunity to scare somepony” “Ha, I think you should get going home. Don’t you think?” “Nah, I couldn’t sleep. Why aren’t YOU at home?” “I couldn’t sleep either” I smiled a little hoping she would believe me. She nodded. “So where did you come from, Scout?” I stopped in my tracks. “Um… I can’t really remember.” I started walking again, rattling my brain for an answer. She stood in front of me, blocking my path. --------- “What do you mean you ‘can’t remember’?” “It means I can’t remember, but anyways, where do you live kid? I’ll take you home.” “Um…well…there’s this box that I sleep in most of the time.” Her face turned bright red. “A box. You live in a box? Well I have a guest bedroom if you’d like to stay with me for a while.” “Really?” Her eyes widened. “I would love to! I mean if that’s cool with you” She said regaining her composure. “Yeah, sure. C’mon” I unfurled my wings and jumped trying to gain air quickly. She followed right behind. I tilted my left wing down slightly and turned 90 degrees to the left. We flew until we got to my house. I opened the door and showed her around. She walked into the guest bedroom and flopped on the bed stretching out her wings and legs. Her breathing slowed and she snored slightly. I never knew anybody could fall asleep that fast. I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me. I went back outside and started flying again. I flew up really high, until I could see all of Ponyville. I looked down. “I can do this” I said to myself. I closed my wings and faced down, not unlike a diver. I saw the ground getting closer, closer, closer. I opened my wings at the last second and soared up again until I was back on my lawn. I looked off at the horizon and saw an orange glow off in the distance. --------- The sun hadn’t risen yet, but this was different. I flew in the general direction that I saw it coming from. As I got closer, my suspicions were confirmed. Somepony’s house was on fire. There were no fire trucks there and there was a blue pony waving his arms out of the window, yelling for help. I flew up to the burning building shielding my face from the heat. “Hey, Kid! Kid, HELP!” I looked around and there was still nopony there. I flew up to the window and he climbed on my back. I struggled to keep from crashing to the ground, but I managed to slowly descend. “Kid, my wife and kids are still in there. You have to help them, please.” I nodded and flew into the window that I just saved the pony from. I stepped on the floor and I fell through to the bottom floor. I maneuvered through fallen support beams and debris. I heard faint crying coming from an upstairs room. I flew up as fast as I could, smashing through the floor again. I saw a mare shielding her small colt and filly with her arms. They all looked terrified. I noticed the mother had wings but neither of the kids did. I put the colt and filly on my back and told the mother to follow. We flew back to the window that I came from. I handed the mother her kids as she flew out of the window. Right when I handed off the second child, a piece of ceiling fell and landed on me. I smashed through the floor; the large piece of wood was on my wing and back, pinning me down. I started coughing from all the ash that was falling around me. I tried to pry the piece of wood off of me. *Cough, cough* I croaked out “help! Help… *Cough* help.” I held my elbow to my nose to hope it would help make it easier to breathe. It didn’t help at all. “Help…somepony…anypony” *cough, cough, cough* I heard the faint sound of sirens through the crackling of the fire. He heard a loud creaking noise and looked up. I saw a piece of support beam falling. It came crashing down on my head. --------- When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. Fluttershy, Scootaloo, and the family I saved were all sitting next to my bed looking at me. I coughed a few more times, clearing some of the smoke out of my lungs. There was a painful throbbing in my head and wing. There was also a burning feeling in my chest. A few awkward seconds passed before I finally managed to croak out “How long have I been out?” this was immediately followed by more coughing. Scootaloo said “Only a couple of hours. The firepony that carried you out said that you were pinned under a bunch of wood.” I looked to my side and saw a cup of water on the end table. I picked it up and drank it fast. It made the burning feeling subside drastically. The family I saved looked like they were doing ok. They thanked me numerous times before leaving. Fluttershy hadn’t said a word the entire time I had been awake. She had a worried look glued to her face. Scootaloo kept asking me questions about it. “How did you know to go save them?” “I don’t really remember.” “Well what do you remember?” “Um…I remember there was a fire and I saved that family that was here but that’s about it.” “AW, BO-RING!” “Sorry I couldn’t remember more. I guess a hit to the head will do that to a pony.” Fluttershy piped in. “You don’t have to be sorry, Scout. It’s not your fault. If anything you should get an award for saving them. I'm sure that with time, you will remember.” I looked at her and smiled. There was a knock at the door and a nurse came in. Scout, you have another visitor. --------- The beautiful Rarity and daring Rainbow Dash walked into the room. Rarity looked at my face and without saying a word, took a wet nap out of her saddle bag and started wiping my face off. Rainbow Dash looked at my busted wing. “Whoa, kid, looks like you won’t be flying for a while.” I could see all the soot that Rarity had wiped off on the little napkin. “My goodness, Scout, How in Equestria could somepony get this dirty.” “Fire” I coughed some more. “What could you possibly be doing around fire? I'm sure you know how dangerous that is.” Scootaloo thankfully spoke for me so I didn’t have to. “For your information Rarity, he just saved a family from their house burning down.” “Oh, well then I apologize for my rude actions.” Rarity’s face turned slightly red. I nodded, accepting her apology. Just then the same nurse from earlier came in. “Okay guys, I'm sorry, but visitor time is over.” The nurse turned to me. “Scout, your mom and sister can stay.” She walked out before I could say anything. I looked at Fluttershy and Scootaloo and we all laughed a little. “You guys don’t have to stay…unless you want to.” “Scout, I wouldn’t dream of leaving you here by yourself. I even left Angel in charge just so I could stay longer.” “Yeah, same here, Scout. I mean it’s the least I can do for you letting me stay at your house.” I smiled. “Thank you guys that means a lot to me.” Rainbow Dash cleared her throat. “Sorry Dash.” The nurse came back in. “Okay guys, I'm afraid time’s up. Say your goodbyes” I said bye to Rainbow and Rarity and the nurse led them out of the room. I looked around the room for a clock. I found one next to the door. It said was almost 5 in the afternoon. Even though I just woke up, I was still tired. There was a knock at the door and before waiting for a response, the doctor walked in. He was a royal blue colored unicorn. He had a clipboard floating in front of him. He was flipping through the pages. “So, Scout, I’ve got good news and I've got bad news. --------- To Be Continued...
