That day Scootaloo got some bad news from her momma. "Did you just say that you're not laying any eggs?!" Scootaloo yelped in confusion as she stared at her chicken mother with wide eyes. Elizabeak sighed. "Sadly, yes." the chicken told the pegasus "Fluttershy is getting very worried because our eggs are one of her only sources of income an-" "Wait wait wait!" Scootaloo interrupted "I thought Fluttershy was an animal doctor?" "All of the money she gets from her duties as a veterinarian goes to the care of her animals, or if she gets some extra money a charity for animals," Elizabeak explained to her daughter "So, at the end of that, she doesn't have much money to spend on stuff for her." "That sounds rough," Scootaloo said to her momma, feeling sorry for the poor pegasus who had also been feeding her some of her chicken food, even though she didn't know if she could even lay eggs. After the chicken and her daughter snuggled some more under the warm sunlight Scootaloo ran off to Twilight's castle to ask her if she had any books that could help Elizabeak lay more eggs. Once she got to the gigantic crystal building she knocked on the door three times, those knocks being as fast as her little hoof could handle. She knew telling Twilight about Elizabeak's lack of eggs would eventually uncover that she was Scootaloo's mother so she decided to just tell the purple alicorn straight away. Spike answered the door and Scootaloo started shaking him with her two front hooves, a worried look covering her face. "I really need Twilight's help cuz I think my mother might be dying!" the scooter-riding chicken-pony hybrid cried out. The dragon quickly ran to get the princess once he heard the news, not wasting a minute to choke up a reply. Twilight quickly flew to Scootaloo faster than Rainbow Dash had ever flown before. "What's wrong with your mother?!" The purple pony said, worried out of her mind. "Shes not laying any eggs!" Scootaloo told the pony, preparing to go run towards her mom's chicken coop with the smart purple princess on her tail. Instead, the princess relaxed and glared at the filly. "That was not a good prank!" Twilight said sternly "For a second I really thought your mom was dying." The purple princess observed the filly's reaction to her statement. The pegasus's ears were folded against her head, she still looked like she was really worried about her mother's safety. "She really is!" Scootaloo yelled, "You gotta see her for you to truly believe it!" The filly dragged the mare along the path going towards Fluttershy's cottage and Twily was getting more curious as time went on. When the orange hybrid got to her destination she saw her mom waiting for her in front of her chicken coop and the Loo ran towards her, Twilight trailing behind. "Momma Momma!" Scootaloo yelled to the chicken "I got the local princess here to look at you!"
