Newly Found Sisters // Story: The Scoot of My Life: Sisterhooving // by epicdonus1123 BOT //------------------------------// Chapter 2 "Wh...what did you say," asked Scootaloo. That one little itty, bitty word changed her perspective on Rainbow. She turned from an all out selfish, atheltic pony who cared only for herself. Now she is a selfish, athletic pony who cares for someone else than herself. Scootaloo was so happy that she could die. "I said little sis," replied Rainbow. That made Scootaloo hug tighter, because she had the nerve on repeating it to her. Having a sister is like having a mother, in Scootaloo's terms. Rainbow seemed awfully proud to of made Scootaloo this happy. She mainly did it for her and Scootaloo's sake. When she was flying out and felt that strange feeling, she realized that it was two things......love and respect. Scootaloo embarrassed herself and just sat there hugging Rainbow Dash for a couple of minutes. The whole incident was a big moment for both of their lives. Rainbow learned how to love, and Scootaloo got a sister. Rainbow's idea now became a reality. The new reality had made them newly found sisters. When they were done, Scootaloo trotted off into her room. She jumped for joy, for that the room she was in...actually belonged to her now. Rainbow then walked to her room and put the adoption papers into a drawer. When she came out, she just sat down on the couch and watched TV. For a couple of minutes, she just sat there and thought. She thought about how dramatic Rarity and her sister's relationship is, coming from the most dramatic ponies in town. Rainbow also thought about how close Applejack is to Applebloom. Their relationship is like crust and the filling, coming from Applejack herself. She finally thought about the adventures and arguments she'll have with Scootaloo. Even though Scootaloo is normally quiet, Fluttershy is also quiet, but boy has she seen Fluttershy throw some serious tantrums. "Hey Rainbow....I can't believe you did that," said Scootaloo as she walked out of her room. Rainbow looked up at her and smiled, symbolizing that she meant it. Scootaloo then sat next to Rainbow and watched TV. Rainbow was surprised that Scootaloo was suddenly interested in TV. Some time passed and Scootaloo was becoming tired. She proceeded to awkwardly put her head on Rainbow's chest. Within a few minutes, Scootaloo was fast asleep. Rainbow looked at Scootaloo in amazement. She was really beginning to open up. When Scootaloo woke up a few hours later, she noticed that she was still on Rainbow's chest. During the hours of Scootaloo's slumber, Rainbow just kept on thinking. Then when Scootaloo woke up, Rainbow just stopped thinking and was rushed back into reality. This twisted reality that they live in. She cared enough to not move me, Scootaloo thought when she awoke. Rainbow then got up and started to trot outside. "Hey Rainbow, where are you going," she asked. "Oh....I am taking my afternoon soar across town. See you later Scootaloo," responded the rainbow pony. Rainbow realized that Scootaloo had to go to school tomorrow, but she probably already knows that. Now Scootaloo was alone, once again. She decided to go to the couch and sit down. She turned on the TV and watched it for a couple of hours. For the first time, since she's been there, she actually felt relaxed and comfy. She then started to stink. She smelled herself and noticed she needed a shower now! She got up to go and take a shower. She is used to taking showers by herself, but uncomfortable taking one in another pony's house. When she was finished, she walked into the living. There, she was greeted by Rainbow. "Hey sis, did you take a shower," she questioned. "Um....please don't be mad at me, I was just dirty and I needed a quick one," responded Scootaloo. "Be mad? Ha! I don't care if you take a million showers! The one you took was yours anyways," stated Dash. "Really. It's mine," asked Scootaloo. "Yes it is," she replied. After that, Rainbow decided to show Scootaloo how to work the PBOX. The PBOX was the video game system she noticed when she first arrived there. Scootaloo was a quick learner on which buttons did what and what the different kinds of games are. She then decided to play the PBOX for the first time. The first game she played instantly became her favorite, Hooves of War. She played that game for hours. Rainbow then saw how good she became, so she challenged her to a match. In the end, Rainbow did win, but she wasn't a sore winner about it.Scootaloo wasn't a sore loser either. The two hugged for Rainbow's victory. "Hey little sis," requested Rainbow. "Yeah." "Good game." "Yeah, congrats on your victory." "Thanks..... Scootaloo, I am impressed on your attitude about it," said Rainbow. Scootaloo was in complete puzzlement and excitement. She impressed her hero, but she impressed her on her attitude? "Scootaloo, it's getting dark. Don't you think you ought to go to bed," asked Rainbow. "Yeah you're right. Night," agreed Scootaloo. "Night," Rainbow said back. While Scootaloo is going to bed, Rainbow continued to play the game to be better at it. After an hour, Rainbow turned off the game and went to bed. In the morning, she got up and started making toast. Scootaloo also got up early, in preparation for school that day. She ate her breakfast awfully quick and flew off. At school, every filly in the class started to stare at her. They've never seen Scootaloo this clean in a while. "Scootaloo! You're sparkly," exclaimed one classmate. "Wow! Scootaloo," screamed another. Scootaloo sat down and started to work. Cheerilee, that day was teaching fractions to the kids. Fractions always stumbled Scootaloo, because she didn't understand why one number needs to be balancing on top of another number. She listened to the Cheerilee the whole day, however, and understood everything. By lunch, she knew everything about fractions. It made her feel good that she actually wasn't tired enough to fall asleep. She sat down next to Sweetiebelle and Applebloom at the lunch table. "Hey Scootaloo," greeted Sweetiebelle. She always had that look on her face that made Scootaloo smile. "Yeah, hey Scootaloo," said Applebloom. Applebloom was so comforting and welcoming, like Applejack. "Hey girls. How was your weekends," pondered Scootaloo. "Mine was the same as always, helping Rarity with her clothes," replied Sweetiebelle. "I got to harvest the apples with Applejack and Big Mac," responded Applebloom. "How was your weekend Scootaloo," asked Sweetiebelle. She did not want to tell them about Rainbow Dash. She knew that they'd immediately tell everypony in town. "It was....fine. Thanks for asking. Anyways, hey Sweetiebelle and Applebloom, after school, wanna go and do some crusading," questioned Scootaloo, in attempt to change the subject. "OF COURSE," yelled the two. For the rest of school, Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetiebelle payed attention really hard to understand the lesson, ignoring Diamondtiara's and Silverspoon's snide remarks. After school, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetiebelle did just that. They loved to crusade and experiment with different hobbies, even the strangest ones they would try. They were doing everything from dancing to skydiving, except the thing that they were good at. Rainbow Dash, who totally forgot to check up on Scootaloo, went down to Ponyville to make sure she was safe. Flying down there, she started to feel overprotective of her sister. Rainbow didn't care, she'll loosen up later. She stopped Scootaloo before she was about to jump off and paraglide. Applebloom and Sweetiebelle, looking blank as ever, just stopped and stared at the athletic pony. "Scootaloo! I forgot to make sure you are safe. Please forgive me," pleaded Rainbow. "I'm okay Rainbow, don't worry," she forgave Rainbow. "Ugh....Scootaloo....why are ya talking to Rainbow Dash like ya know her," investigated Applebloom. She was on the verge of confession. Scootaloo knew if she told them, they'll keep bothering her about it, but Rainbow stepped right in. She was proud to have a sister, so she wasn't afraid to tell them herself. "You didn't know," asked Rainbow. "Didn't know what," replied Sweetiebelle. Scootaloo was biting her lips. "That I adopted Scootaloo as my little sister," responded Rainbow. Scootaloo knew what was going to happen next. They were going to freak out and stare at them for a few minutes. "WWWHHHAAAATTTT," shrieked the two fillies. There goes the first expectation. The second one never happened, because they just sat there whispering to each others' ears. "Yeah it's true, I adopted her, but not out of guilt....but out of love," charmed Rainbow. The two never expected Rainbow to do something as sweet or sappy as this or even admit this. Then Scootaloo went over and hugged her big sister. As Applebloom and Sweetiebelle aww'd, Rainbow flew off with Scootaloo to the house. When they got there, Rainbow sat down on the couch and Scootaloo went to her room, like always. While Rainbow was watching TV, she saw s commercial for the Sisterhooves Social in a week. Rainbow started to think that will make her and Scootaloo that much closer as sisters. It'd be awkward for her and Scootaloo to be that much closer. Rainbow didn't want to tell Scootaloo until she was done with her homework. Half an hour later, Scootaloo came and sat down on the couch. She saw Rainbow with the excited expression on her face. "What's got you so happy," she asked. "It's the Sisterhooves Social in Sweet Apple Acres, if you and me join, we could win the trophy," responded the eager pony. "Awesome, when is it," she asked again. "Next week," replied Rainbow. "Sounds good, can't wait," ended Scootaloo. She trotted out the door, for the Rainbow Dash fan club meeting was today. As eager as she was, she mustn't tell the other fan members about the adoption. She then remembered that Applebloom and Sweetiebelle know, and they could've told the other members. Then again, they aren't in it, so they can't mention it, right? When she got there, nopony seemed to be acting any different than usual. They all were calm and positive, as usual. The rest of the meeting went on accordingly until, "Hey Scootaloo, how does it feel being related to Rainbow," pondered a member. Scootaloo froze up in place. She couldn't talk, move, or blink. She was just frozen and shivering. The other members were whispering to each other about it. Some of them were concerned on Scootaloo's sake and reputation. Then, some of the members noticed that she was all tensed up. She just simply stepped outside and flew away before the meeting was over. She cried all the way home, from the fan club to the house. The guy that asked the question, was given the evil eye by the whole club and he was kicked out for a week, for hurting another member's feelings. At the house, Rainbow noticed how sad Scootaloo appeared and she couldn't stand for this. "Scootaloo....are you okay," she whispered. "(sniff) I am now," thanked Scootaloo. "What was wrong, why were you crying," she asked. "The ponies from the fan club now know that we're sisters," she responded. "Why is that so bad," Rainbow questioned her. "Because now, ponies are going to bother us for a while, and I want my privacy," whimpered Scootaloo. "Just because you and me are sisters, and ponies will bother us....I still love you," replied Rainbow. Was that the right thing to say? I guess so, she thought. "Thanks Rainbow...love you too," acknowledged Scootaloo. The next morning wasn't as bad as she thought. It was a normal just another normal day in Ponyville. All the ponies knew by now, but they still didn't bother her nor Rainbow. Diamondtiara, still made snide remarks about her, but she didn't mind. Cheerilee congratulated Scootaloo on her adoption. That made her blush a bit. Sweetiebelle and Applebloom were talking about it when she entered. She wanted to join in, because now all three Cutie Mark Crusaders have a sister to love and play with.
