//------------------------------// // Chapter 16-Cheerilee Shares the Truth About Scootaloo // Story: Son of Big Mac and Cheerilee // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// One day while they're drinking coffee, Cheerilee lets out a big piece of news. "Big Mack," says Cheerilee, "Scootaloo is my baby sister." Big Mack looks at her dumbfounded. "She's, she's, she's your what now?!" responds Big Mack baffled. "My baby sister," replies Cheerilee. "Mom put her up for adoption not long after she was born. She has no idea." "Go and tell her then," replies Big Mack. "She deserves to know the truth." "You're right," sighs Cheerilee. "I'll go and tell her. I know exactly where to find her too. She's likely at the Wonderbolts Derby show." Cheerilee goes and grabs her back, slings it onto her back, and trots out the door towards the Derby field. A few minutes later, she approaches the field and calls up to Scootaloo. "Scootaloo! Scootaloo!" yells Cheerilee. "I have something to tell you!" Scootaloo floats down and joins her on the ground. "Yeah, what did you want to tell me, Cheerilee?" "Scootaloo, you may not believe this, but I'm your sister. I remember when momma put you up for adoption and everything." "I knew I had some family somewhere, I just never knew my sister would turn out to be my former teacher," laughs Scootaloo as she topples Cheerilee over in a hug. "How'd you like to come live with me and my family then?" replies Cheerilee. "I'd love that more than ever, but don't you want to stay for the Derby first?" "Sure," laughs Cheerilee. "Good thing I stopped by Twilight's and had her cast that cloud walking spell on me before I left." The two then break out laughing as they hop into the balloon and head into the sky. Once the clouds, the two go to their seats and sit down and enjoy the Derby. The two are glad to have each other back in each other's lives. They honestly wouldn't have had it any other way. For now, though, it's time to just enjoy the Derby together, as sisters.
