We returned to the orphanage and scootaloo waited outside as I approached reception. This time it was a bigger more intimidating mare
"Hello. When scootaloo here was first dropped off at the orphanage she was left with a note. May I see it?"
"No"
"Why?"
"I burned all the notes."
"WHAT?! WHY?"
"Couldn't be bothered. That and apparently some stallion was willing to pay well for this."
"...basterd"
Suddenly the same mare from earlier sprung out of a unseen door...or the wall.
"NO SWEARING IN MY!-"
"I DONT GIVE TWO TITS!"
"..."
I left without any further words
"so how did it go?"
"IM SUPER DEPRESSD!"
"...What?"
"Let's just go"
As we went back to the library the sun was setting and it was here that I realized something was up.
"Wait. Where are you going to sleep?"
"uh...can't I just sleep with you?"
"Ok that's gonna do for now"
We entered the library and spike was sleeping in a basket and twilight was asleep and laying beside a rather ragged looking Clyde who looked at me sheepishly.
"...need help sleeping?"
He nodded not wanting to wake up twilight
"Ok so basically lay down close your eyes and pretend your asleep."
He looked at me confused
"...that wasn't a joke."
He sighed and laid down. Moment he closed his eyes he was out.
"Ok let's go to bed"
We went to my room and instead of literally throwing myself onto the bed violently, I slowly walked over to it.
"wow! Your bed is HUGE!"
"I'm a big boy (at least here I am)"
I sat on the edge of the bed and laid down. Scootaloo jumped on top of me then went on the other side of the admittedly oversized bed and She fell asleep. I soon followed.
Morning came and I heard voices.
"aw they look so cute together."
"they even sleep in the same weird positions... That's his daughter alright"
I opened my eyes and I was a little startled by everything being upside down. And so was scootaloo as i fell out of bed
"ECH!"
I hit the floor and I probably would have done the dinosaur if scootaloo had not fell with me. she nearly shared my fate until twilight caught her with magic.
"you ok? That sounded bad"
"I'm fine. Just got some adrenaline pumping from the scare"
"hey! Keep that to your self!"
"What?"
"uh twilight. Don't you know what adrenaline is?"
She blushed
"of course. It's-"
"No it's not anything sexual."
"It's something the body produces for dangerous situations...You don't have adrenaline?"
She shook her head no.
"Ok then come on everyone lets go see a doctors opinion on this"
Luckily it was a Sunday and scootaloo didn't have school. So we went over to the hospital and twilight set up a appointment with a doctor.
"hello you may come in now."
"Thanks."
I learned a little bit about pony anatomy and apparently unicorns have Extra parts in the brain for producing magic.
It's the same with Pegasi except the reason they can't do magic like the others is because they have two weaker organs near the wings.
We did some X-Rays on me and I used the power of biology to explain what adrenaline was. Eventually the topic shifted and we tried to find a logical explanation for how scootaloo has difficulty flying.
"that's really interesting... And you say that she is biologically your daughter?"
I nodded and Twilight confirmed it by showing him the D.N.A results. He was intrigued and asked for a special type of X -Ray involving magic.
"from what I am seeing it appears that the reason for her inability to fly is stemming from the organ right here being a bit small. However there is hope! When she is a bit older it should grow to a suitable size. Though there is just one thing that is peculiar. The organ looks a little strange and it appears that it is not only producing magic. But also something else...
Scootaloo was looking a bit nervous
"Wait. I have an idea, but we need three blood samples."
"why three?"
"Because we need to know how my and your blood compares to a Pegasus. Can you help doc?"
He was already prepping the needle. And Scootaloo was fidgeting in the chair.
"ok I have the necessary blood for comparison I just need Scootaloo's blood and yours."
"Ok just-OW!"
He got me while I was trying to prepare myself. And a nurse did the same with Scootaloo.
"well it appears that scootaloo has some strange substance in her blood sample that doesn't exist in our volunteer sample however it is also present in your blood as well. Is this that adrenaline you spoke of?"
"...it is. Congrats Scootaloo your not only going to fly but there is a small chance you might be un-killable by conventional means."
"really?"
"well not exactly. But you probably have a lot of extra usefulness with it."
"I know we discussed what adrenaline can do but exactly what are you talking about?"
"Have you ever heard of a second wind?"
The doctor shook his head
"Ok so basically if she gets exhausted by running or something like that if she can continue for a small bit longer or if something threatening happened the adrenaline would start and give her energy to burn and the adrenaline also numbs pain. She would feel exhausted after she calmed down. In a life or death situation if something put her into shock, instead of just passing out she would have a small period of time where she would be able to move to safety if she is close enough. It would also prevent her from convulsing and dying immediately after the adrenaline rush is done."
I have no idea how true that last part was but I wasn't a doctor so that was what I went with
"woah..."
"And all it takes is a bit of determination. After all. This is a small reason why we usually change "impossible" to "improbable"."
"sadly I believe we are out of time for this season. Thanks bye now!"
We got quickly escorted out of the building and I suspect it had something to do with something. And that's saying something.
"Wait. Something is wrong. Where did everyone go? This place is packed at this hour."
We looked around and eventually we found where everyone went.
To a magic show.
Kinda redundant now that I think about it though.
