Home is for the Weak

Daddy Issues.

"Mornin'," Scootaloo yawned.

"Good morning," Nopony cheered.

"Wow, you're in a good mood today," Scootaloo grumbled.

"I made us waffles!"

Scootaloo stayed quiet as she watched Nopony set down a fresh stack of waffles on the table. He was humming a song to himself.

"You usually make pancakes."

"Well, having waffles can't be too awful!" He slathered butter and syrup on a plate of waffles.

"Don't try to butter me up too much here."

"Tada!" He set the plate down in front of her. "So how's school been?"

"Well, you know me, nothing but A's and B's on my report card." Scootaloo lied.

"I'm really proud of how well you've been doing, keep up the good work sweetie." Nopony kissed her forehead.

Scootaloo froze.

"Are you okay?" Nopony frowned.

"Bathroom emergency, one sec!"

Scootaloo hurried into the bathroom, locked the door, opened the window, and climbed out of it. Looking around, an idea came to her as she spotted the shed, and she opened it.

Inside was Nopony trapped in a changeling pod.

"Well, looks like my guess was right." Scootaloo stoically stated.

Nopony wiggled around in the pod, trying to point towards the hedge clippers on the wall.

"Yeah one second, I just used the restroom and forgot to wash my hooves." Scootaloo closed the barn door.

Muffled screams came from the shed as Scootaloo climbed into the window, and finished pretending to use the restroom.

"I'm back Dad!" Scootaloo smiled as she trotted out.

"Welcome back," the changeling chuckled, "you were only gone for a minute sweetie."

"I know I know, I'm just glad you get to stay home today!" Scootaloo sat in his lap and pulled the waffles towards her. "So does all this mean you're off work today instead of tomorrow?"

"That's right!" It lied.

"Awesome! I can't wait to start our flying lessons and get icecream afterwards!" Scootaloo nuzzled it's chest.

"Well, you can't blame me for putting it off for so long. As soon you start flying, you'll no longer have time for your old stallion anymore."

"I'll always have time for you Dad!" Scootaloo hugged their torso.

The real Nopony slammed the front door open, covered in goo.

"I never want to see another pod for as long as I live!"

The changeling jumped out of it's chair and hissed.

"You are going straight to the moon," Nopony snarled, "and you!.."

Nopony gasped when he didn't see Scootaloo anywhere nearby.

"I swear, if there's a single hair out of place on her, I'll-"

*THWACK!*

The changeling watched as Nopony slumped over, standing behind him was Scootaloo with a bat.

It frowned. "Um-"

"Oh don't worry," Scootaloo tossed the bat behind her and dragged Nopony inside, "he's secretly an alicorn, he'll be fine."

"That's not, uh, he is? No, wait, why did you-"

"I can be your daughter for the day." Scootaloo gave it a coy smile.

"Yeah okay no, this just got super weird."

"Don't say that, you feed off love don't you?" She nuzzled the changeling's leg.

"I... I don't feel safe!"

"Daddy Shhhhhh..." Scootaloo hugged the changeling.

"Help, I'm being violated!"

"Don't fight it, Just let this happen!"

"HELP!!"
