"Welcome Cutie Mark Crusaders and friends!" Scootaloo began looking at the varied bunch she had invited, her friends Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were sitting on either side of the podium, in front of her was a small but varied crowd, consisting of Sandbar, Gallus, Yona, Ocellus, Smolder, Silverstream, and Spike. Yona and Smolder where whispering to each other quietly, Sandbar was trying to figure out which Gallus was Ocellus and which was actually Gallus. Meanwhile, Silverstream seemed to be dragging Spike around the small space to look at everything.
"...and also Spike for some reason" She added, realizing she hadn't invited him nor asked anyone to invite him,
"Silverstream has a thing for him" Smolder whispered "You ever been grabbed by a Hippogriff? impossible to get out of their grasp" Scootaloo looked up and noted that Spike was being dragged along by Silverstream more than he was walking with her. "Silverstream please take a seat we’re about to start!" Silverstream turned on the spot and dragged Spike along with her, the two sat down and the entire room watched for a second as Spike tried to pull away, only to be pulled in closer.
"Someone help" he whined, Silverstream just hushed him and looked at Scootaloo with her captive, as Ocellus snuck up behind her and turned into Spike, she winked at the original Spike and poked Silverstream's shoulder, clearly she had hoped that Silverstream would let go of the original in confusion, instead Silverstream ended up with two Spikes
"I didn't think this through", Ocellus muttered as she turned back and tried to free herself, Scootaloo clears her throat and started from the beginning.
"Let's try this again, Welcome Cutie Mark Crusaders, friends, and hostages!" She gave a wave to the trapped Ocellus and Spike, "as...almost all of you already know, I have called you here to ask a rather ridiculous favor, but a favor nonetheless!" Scootaloo motioned out with one hoof. "I would like you all to run away with me.
"I have questions" Spike called out.
"Yona Lost her note!" Yona agreed.
"Silverstream you're hurting my arm" Ocellus added helpfully as Scootaloo sighed.
"Yona how did you lose your note," she asked "It was huge"
"Yona dropped it in river, floated away"
"I'm not Spike" Ocellus complained, Silverstream looked at her closely.
"Ok, but if you are Spike, don't forget to be back by 5"
"I'm Spike" Spike cut in "And What are we doing at 5?" Scootaloo began banging her gavel.
"Order in the court"
"This isn't a court" Gallus yelled out
"Order in the wooden treehouse then!" Scootaloo shot back, once there was silence she continued "Alright, I have asked you to run away with me, not because life is hard, or unfair, but for an adventure!" Scootaloo looked shuffled threw her speech to find the next part before continuing "an adventure, to shake things up, not to save Equestria, not to find some destiny, and not in search of wisdom,an adventure....so we have a cool story to tell all out friend's and family when we go back to school this summer"
"You want us, to go with you, and find something exciting to do, and probably waste our entire summer vacation"
"Oh come on, do you guys have anything better to do? I know you don't Spike"
"I wasn't even invited here!" Spike shot back
"Well, your apart of it now!" Scootaloo replied, "Come on, think of how much fun we could all have!"
"Think about how horrible grounded we'll be when we get back" Applebloom chipped in "I'm sorry Scoots but I'm out" Scootaloo looked down at her and then around at the other's as they began declaring their disinterest
"So it's just me and Spike then?"
"I agreed to nothing!" Spike complained when Silverstream's hand shot up.
"If Spike's going, I'm going!"
"Yes, Good, Great! Anyone else!" Scootaloo looked around hopefully, only to find head shakes and others not looking at her, she sighed "Fine, I can make this work, Before this meeting adjourns, you must all swear to me one thing!"
"And that is?" Sweetie asked
"NO SNITCHING!" Scootaloo demanded "I'm looking at you Applebloom" She added "Don't go breaking under your sister's gaze!"
"Hey, no fair! my sis can tell when I'm lying!"
"Then tell her you swore no snitching! Now, do you all swear it?"
"I swear no snitching!" The room said, without hesitation, everyone turned to Spike, who blinked
"Oh come on! HOW!?"
"We always know, now swear it!" Scootaloo demanded, Spike muttered angrily, then squeaked in pain when Silverstream held onto him with both hand's
"Come on Spikey, just swear and we can go get ready"
"I swear no snitching! Please, only one hand!" Spike begged as Silverstream smiled and let go with one hand
"Alright, we'll meet you tomorrow at 5, Scootaloo!" Silver said as she flew off with Spike using all his wing-power to keep up with her,"
"Are you really gonna make him go with you?" Applebloom asked
"He's the only reason I'm not going alone, he's definitely coming whether he likes it or not," Scootaloo said as the treehouse emptied. Without hesitation Scootaloo got on her scooter and made her way home, Her aunt's where off on their honeymoon and even then they'd just think she was waking up earlier than them and staying out later than they stayed up, She grabbed her pack and began packing it. it was a huge camping bag, it was already almost full, it had several changes of clothes, a bedroll, a pillow, some hygiene products, and all the bit's she'd been saving for almost a full year. The only thing left to pack was food, which she had intentionally left for last minute so as to pack the freshest food and to pack food all of her party could eat, as she routed through the pantry she heard a knock on the door,
"Yes...Rainbow Dash Hi!" Scootaloo said, seeing her mentor and friend standing at the door.
"Sup Kid," She said as Scootaloo walked out, closing the door behind her "How's your summer looking?"
"It just started, but so far, pretty good." Rainbow nodded
"Got any plans, or are you just gonna loaf around doing nothing productive?'
"I got some plan's with a few of my friends." Scootaloo replied "We're gonna be, doing stuff, you wouldn't be interested in it"
"Try me," Rainbow replied
"No, I mean, we're basically gonna be doing a few school assignments I didn't turn in and..."Rainbow started laughing
"You got summer school? Oh that is so bad" She chortled as sighed "Alright, enjoy your studying, I'll check up on ya later then" Rainbow said as she flew off with a wave, as she flew off she watched Scootaloo go back inside
"Summer School eh?" She thought "Twilight could probably help with that" She turned towards the castle and after locating her, flew into the room Twilight was reading in "Mind if I enter?" she asked, causing Twilight to jump
"oh yeah, that's why the window's stay closed" She muttered as she closed the window with magic. "What do you need Rainbow?"
"I need your help in helping Scootaloo with Summer School"
"Why am I not surprised?" Twilight asked as she got up
"You were expecting me to come in and ask for help with School?" Rainbow asked in confusion
"No, I meant Scootaloo in Summer school."
"Oh...HEY!" Rainbow rushed to her friend's defense "She probably just dropped her bag in the mud a few times while scootering and lost her homework or something" the two talked and walked on their way to the Library but stopped when they heard rustling in Spike's Room. Twilight knocked on the door
"I told you two you're not allowed to close the door"
"We are doing nothing!" Spike shot back, as Twilight opened the Door, Spike just managed to hide the bag he and Silverstream had been packing from their sight
"Ohhoho?" Rainbow asked, "How long has this been going on?" she motioned between the two before they could answer Twilight interjected
"Don't both, Spike's still denying there together" Twilight gave him the "I'm watching you" hoof sign before walking in and sniffing "And so far I haven't caught any signs of them doing anything...yet." She added staring at him, Rainbow looked at Silverstream and motioned at Spike
"Really?" She asked "him?"
"yes, him" She responded, "He's dreamy!" She hugged him, causing a loud crack to reverberate around the room
"It's like Big Mac, but 100 times worse" Spike muttered as he wobbled on his feet. Rainbow nodded as she left the room, once out of earshot Rainbow turned to Twilight
"Must be hard to see your little hatchling dating a girl, hope you didn't embarrass him too much when you found out." Twilight looked over at Rainbow with a smirk.
"I gave them a 4-hour Private sex-ed class" Twilight stumbled.
"Oh, that must have been hard for them."
"2 hours of Dragon's, 2 hours on Hippogriffs" She nodded "They where both glowing red by the time it was over" as the two made their way down to the Library Spike peeked out
"I can't believe I'm about to do this" He sighed as Silverstream looked through the bag, he began looking through his closet.
"I'm spending the night right?" She asked
"You've spent the last 9 night's" Spike replied as he pulled out a hoodie
"So...I don't suppose you'd let me..."
"Whatever you two are talking about NO!" Twilight's voice rang out. Making the two jump
"Dang it" Silverstream muttered angrily as she pulled out her overnight bag and looked through it "Do you have spare..."
"Whatever it is, Yes, I have a Spare" Spike replied "Let's wait until night to get out food supplies," He said as he looked out the door. "Do you have the Potion's I told you to pack just in case we need to go off book fast?"
"I have Three of them," She confirmed, as the two sat in awkward silence Silverstream looked at a table behind Spike "Wanna finish our game?" Silverstream asked Spike looked at his bag
"Yup, I'm done packing, for now, let's go fail at Chess for a while, I need to relax anyway."
