That night, Scootaloo goes off to dinner with Cheerilee, Big Mack, Lil Mack, and Apple Jam. Golden Apple, on the other hoof, is being foalsat by one of Cheerilee's good friends, Cherry Heart. At the restaurant, Scootaloo orders a big bowl of mac and cheese and a Swiss grilled cheese sandwich and begins to down all of it. "I'm so glad to know I still have family left like I said before, I'm glad you're my sister, Cheerilee." 

"Thanks, Scooty," replies Cheerilee as she takes a sip of her pink lemonade and then takes a bite of salad. 

"Yeah, we're glad to have you in the house Auntie Scootaloo!" exclaims Apple Jam before taking a bite of her own cheddar grilled cheese sandwich. 

Scootaloo then begins to tell Cheerilee, Big Mack, Lil Mack, and Apple Jam all about her life up until now. "So, as you know, I was born with a wing disorder, where mine are tinier and not able to generate lift. I have a feeling that has something to do with mom and dad putting me up for adoption. No one who came to the orphanage to adopt foals would ever choose me because of my disability. Eventually, they put me into a foster house but my foster family got tired of me and sent me back because they were all able bodied pegasi and wanted nothing to do with me since I couldn't fly." Her eyes begin to fill with tears. "After I was sent back, the orphanage stuck me in a separate section with other disabled ponies. I made friends with them and fast. In fact, we're still friends today. Everything changed for the better when I met Rainbow Dash and she took me in as her foster sister for a little bit, which was great!" 

"Wow! I'm so glad you finally found a place you felt you belonged, I hope you'd consider me as such now," replies Cheerilee.

"Oh, I do! I do for sure!" replies Scootaloo as she flits over into Cheerilee's hooves and gives her a great big hug. She then hands her the adoption papers, which Cheerilee happily fills out. They then pay for their lunch and go and give the signed papers to the Cloudsdale Orphanage and Scootaloo walks out with Cheerilee. She's finally in the place where she belongs.
