Why did Scootaloo never mention her parents, or even any family to begin with? Well, what if it was because her parents were famous, and were not around very much due to their work schedules? Now with Scootaloo promising her parents to come in on Family Appreciation Day, it's time for the truth to be revealed.

Inspiration comic right over here!

Scootaloo has never told anypony that she is an orphan, that her parents one day decided not to come home. She has been on her own since she was very little. She has learned to fend for herself, care for herself, and doesn't want help from anypony, including her best friends. It isn't until a certain purple unicorn learns the truth and takes her into her home that Scootaloo realizes she needed help from somepony a long time ago.

Please do not ask if you can continue this story. The answer will be no.

This story is a sequel to Taboo Feelings

Scootaloo is not a normal filly. Deep down she knows the life she lives cannot stay that way forever. She fools her friends well enough, they usually don't ask questions. She fools her teacher and even the other residents of Ponyville. What happens when the life she worked for starts to crumble? What happens when the plans she had worked so hard for happen to be impossible from the start? She can only fool everypony for so long after all.

Rainbow Dash, best pony, fastest flier in Equestria, all around awesome mare, was called upon to help with the wedding of her friend's big brother. And hey, she never leaves her friends hanging! Of course, when it turned out some kind of bug thing had replaced the bride, Rainbow was more then ready to fight. Heck, even after it seemed all hope was lost, the pegasus refused to give up.

So when she saw Shining Armor charge up a final spell, she smirked.

But when that spell reached her and flung her against the wall, her smirk devolved into shock...

Cover art is a combination of Deception is Magic vector by Helios and Sonic Rainboom Version One by SkyRings.

Scootaloo has always been a little bullied about her flightlessness, but recently it's gotten worse. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon tease her relentlessly, and even though Sweetie Bell and Applebloom help, the bullies' insults cut deep.
One day, while in the pit of despair, Scootaloo is offered the solution to her problem: wings. But what will this shadowy gift cost her?

Many people have many theories about Scootaloo. Some think she's an orphan. Some think she's part of an abusive household. Others still worry that she's somepony's illegitimate offspring that's hidden away.

However, the truth is far from that. She has a loving mother and father, and she means the world to them both. They've gone to great lengths all for her.

However...they're just a little...strange. Especially since neither one is comfortable with coming out except at night.

Rated Teen for some adult language.

Partially inspired by this story by Colonel J.

Edit 2: And G_Haze has decided to update the cover art, and damn does it look good.

When I wrote this, there was no particular episode focusing on Scootaloo and her attempts of getting a cutie mark on her own. In this story, like Apple Bloom tried in the series, Scootaloo goes to Twilight for some magical assistance, but not via such direct influence. When a spell goes awry, they struggle to fix it, and Scootaloo learns a valuable lesson.

Edit:Fixed Grammar and Spelling, i think~

After a long awaited training session with Rainbow Dash doesn't turn out as she expected, an upset Scootaloo gets some comfort and advice from a source she had never considered before.

Hearth's Warming Eve has come once again, which means fun in the snow, warm food, and spending time with family. At least, that's what it means for most ponies. For Scootaloo it means a day off from crusading, loneliness, and the coldest night of the year. When Discord begins to whisper to her from his stone prison, she questions the beliefs held by many. What was so great about Harmony? What could be so bad about a world where chocolate milk fell from the sky?

Who is Scootaloo? Everypony knows about her present, but when it comes to her past there are as many different answers as there are questions.

Is she the love child of two star-crossed lovers? The last hope for the future? The child of a broken home? A mysterious figure fighting a war no pony knows about? Or is it something else entirely? Is she even a pony at all?

Twilight Sparkle decides to ask everypony in Ponyville and find out about Scootaloo...and the stories, rumors and gossip she gets will leave her wondering how the truth can ever compete with fiction.
