There are things you just don't say. Some lines you just don't cross, ever. The reason you don't cross them is because of empathy: you know how bad it feels to hear certain things, and you know you wouldn't like it if you heard it yourself. This is a view not shared by everypony.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon crossed the line. Rarity learns of it. Rarity is not amused.

Everypony draws their line in the sand somewhere.

Disclaimer: contains Rarity in a state of barely lucid rage as well as the use of harsh words. Also Cheerilee being as effective as she is in the show, on average. If you do not enjoy episodes like Ponyville Confidential or any other episode where ponies talk harshly to each other, chances are this'll ruffle some feathers.

If this resembles real life situations or anyone you know, this is not the author's intent nor the author's problem.

Added notice 10/12/13: No, not based on any Season 4 storyline or spoilers, it's an old idea. The spoiler just prompted the publishing.

Added 2021 notice: please check the author's notes before commenting, chances are you'll find some answers there.

Rumble's got his cutie mark! Yay!

And he's hiding it. He doesn't seem too happy about it. Yay?

Making his way to the library for some advice from Twilight, Rumble must now come to terms with the talent that Fate has bestowed upon him.

Easier said than done when your cutie mark is an embarrassing one.

Submitted to the second Author Support Writing Prompt, with the theme "You are a foal, and you have just received your cutie mark."

The original got positive feedback, and very helpful comments. It actually won the prompt, which was quite a surprise considering the rush job. The comments have been heeded, hopefully this version is better content-wise. Some scenes are radically changed compared to the original, hopefully for the better. My thanks to BronyMaster; Peregrine Caged, SunnyDaze and Tricondon, this story would not be the same without your input.

Edit: While it's been in the Padded Cell for a while (no clue how it got there and how it got there so quickly), it is now also posted on Discord's Domain, since Equestria Daily is just too scary for me. Exuberance!
Edit again: No more Padded Cell? *le sigh*
Edit 3: Return of the Author. Now gotten under the hooves of WRITE, and reception was positive. Some alterations may happen at a later date.

Just when she was about to admit defeat, the fact that she would never breach the sky becoming omnipresent, a special somepony decided to give her another chance.

It's Rumbles' first day of school after moving from Cloudsdale to Ponyville. Everything should be going fine. However... at the local bullies' instigation he finds himself embroiled in a race with Ponyvilles pluckiest flightless Pegasus...

Rumble and Scootaloo have been friends for a long time. And ever since, Rumble sees her in a different light than he's seen anypony. His mouth grows dry, his legs feel weak, and his stomach gets butterflies when ever she's near. It's been too long now, and he's decided to let her know how he feels. But will it turn out like he hopes, or will it just be...weird?

Scootaloo has been trying to figure out how to tell Rumble how she feels about him.

Rumble has been trying to figure out how to tell Scootaloo he wants to be her special somepony.

They face the same dilemma, but will they be able to tell each other how they feel after days of waiting for the right moment?

Rumble has always had his eyes set out for Scootaloo, but he never had the guts to tell anypony. Not even Thunderlane, his brother. However, Scootaloo almost runs into him on her scooter one special day, and that's when the feeling of love begins.

My first shot at a shippingfic or whatever you wanna call it, and an attempt at a story with no dialogue. :)

Also, this is a story with 1,000 words! I never thought could do that.

This story is a sequel to Freedom Evermore

Everything seemed perfect. Flying lessons were going good, trust was starting to be mended, and life was overall nice.

Then the accident happened.

And her absence taught him alot about himself.

Cowrite with GodofBBQ. Go check out his page, he's a cool bro.

Scootaloo, trying to comprehend the fact that Rainbow will be gone for a very long time, comes across a colt walking by the lake. He has a note. She finds it. She reads it. She discovers somepony loves her.

After Scootaloo finds out Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are going to be away for the first day of summer she has to find her own fun. At Sugarcube Corner she meets another young pegasus named Rumble who's in a similar predicament. They agree to race but after a close finish they can't agree on who actually won the race.
