*Mamoru's POV*


I was throwing punches at a sandbag since I was practicing my routine.

I spoke "Oh hey Scootaloo."

Scootaloo sighs "Hey."

I ask "You okay?"

Scootaloo spoke "It's... It's my wings."

I spoke "There's nothing wrong with your wings. You're just a late bloomer, that's all."

Scootaloo asks "Like you?"

"Y-Yeah..." I nervously admitted.

Diamond spoke "I didn't know that."

"Hi, Diamond." I smiled.

Diamond giggles "how are you doing puffball?"

"Hehe, great, Jewelcrown." I chuckled.

Diamond giggles "Puffball."

Then I tackled Diamond Tiara before we tussled/rolled before she pinned me.

Diamond Tiara giggles "Pinned ya."

I chuckle "Hey, let me up."

Diamond giggles as she walked away before I pounced on her, only to get pinned down again.

Diamond giggles "Pinned ya again!"

I then heard chuckles and giggles as I saw Simba and Nala here, them having seen what happened.

I used my tails to tickle Diamond.

But then Diamond Tiara used her tail to tickle me back.

Since I had the tail advantage, I used all nine of mine to tickle Diamond.

Scootaloo snickers "Really?"

“One of the perks of being half Ninetales.” I answered.

An air blast had sent Pierce flying.

A Ninetales that had the same voice as Rusty spoke "I hate that sheep!"

Dusk chuckles "Nice one Rusty!"

I chuckle "And Scootaloo is out cold!"

And like I said, Scootaloo was out cold, especially with her wings flared out.

Rusty asks "Was it something I said?"

Wow, talk about dense.

Rusty growls "Go cough up a hairball Mamoru."

“Oh, so you do know?” I smirked.

Dusk spoke "Guys, can you save the bickering for later? We have to practice!"

Scootaloo instantly woke up a that.

A barn owl colored Mew chuckles "You lot remind me of Digger. He's a hoot to be around."

"Who?" I asked, somehow sounding like an owl.

The barn owl Mew spoke "He's a burrowing Mew but he's really funny."

Then I noticed something burrowing from underground.

The barn owl Mew spoke "I know that's you Digger."

A head poked out of the ground before shaking the dirt off.

Digger spoke "Soren!"

Soren chuckles "Good Glaux, you nearly scared the kids. And for a moment there, I thought you were Metal Beak."

Digger spoke "Ya sure? 'Cause last I checked, you sent him 6 feet under by stabbing him with a burning branch."

Soren asks "How did you know that?"

Digger asks "You told me, remember?"

Soren spoke "*Facepalm!* Oh, right. Sorry about that."

A smaller than normal Mew Poké-Mobian with the markings of an elf owl spoke "No wonder you're a scatterbrain at times Digger."

Scootaloo asks "Huh? Who're you?"

Soren spoke "That's Gylfie, she's small for a Mew since she's a pygmy."

Scootaloo asks "Pygmy?"

Gylfie spoke "I'm smaller than a normal Mew though."

Sweetie asks "Oh, so you're like an elf owl?"

Gylfie spoke "color and size wise, yes."

Scootaloo spoke "Anyway, we should get to practice."

A purple colored female Mew screams "PIERCE!!!!!!"

"Ugh... Not again." I groaned in annoyance.

Danyelle soon shows up.

Danyelle spoke "Hey kids."

"You heard that scream, right?" I asked.

Danyelle spoke "Yeah, Aphmau got pranked by Pierce."

"Big time too since she's a Mew now." I added.

Danyelle spoke "It's not my fault if Pierce is an idiot."

I couldn’t help but snicker in agreement with that.

A gray Mew spoke "Great Glaux, you left me behind AGAIN Digger!"

Digger spoke "Oh come on, Twilight!"

Say what now?

The gray mew conks Digger on the head.

Cassius spoke "I thought I told you to call me Cassius."

Digger chuckles "Hey, old habits die hard, ya know."

Danyelle spoke "He's got a point there."

Scootaloo spoke "Still, let's get to practice."

Rusty spoke "Right."

We then headed back to the treehouse.

Bluestar was out cold due to fever.

“What happened?” I asked.

Anzu spoke "No idea what happened but my back is itchy!"

Anzu had a few pinfeathers under her shirt since she was part alicorn as well.

Scootaloo spoke "Whoa. You’re growing wings."

Anzu spoke "I shouldn't be! I'm not an alicorn!"

Sweetie Belle asks "Remember your mom?"

Anzu spoke "Her ascension was caused by a jumpscare!"

Applebloom spoke "Come on, y’all. Let’s git practicin’."

Rusty spoke "Yeah!"

Silverstorm spoke "YEAH!! We got this!"

We then started practicing.

Danyelle spoke "Keep this up Scootaloo and you'll be flying for real."

Scootaloo asks "R-Really?"

Danyelle checks Scootaloo's wings.

Danyelle spoke "It seems your innate magic is more pooled in your hooves which explains why your wings can't get you off the ground."

Scootaloo asks "So you’re saying I gotta switch things up?"

Danyelle spoke "The routine's good already, I see no reason to... Aw Shinx! We have to get to the Crystal Empire now!"


*One warp ring to the Crystal Empire later,*


Danyelle spoke "Hello Harshwinny."

Harshwinny asks "I see you’re here. Was there a problem?"

Danyelle spoke "Oh stars no, I just realized that the Crusaders had to be here. So I brought them."

Harshwinny spoke "Good."

Danyelle spoke "I also look after Scootaloo when her parents are out exploring. Okay Crusaders, show me what you have."

Scootaloo spoke "Let’s do this!"

Rusty and I toss Scootaloo up into the air as she took flight all of a sudden.

Lance spoke "Ponyville forever!"

Danyelle gasps "Scootaloo! You're flying!!"

Scootaloo spoke "Huh? I'm flying? *Gasp!* I'm flying!"

If she can do it, maybe I can...

Rusty spoke "That's great Scoots! Your parents will be thrilled!"

Scootaloo flew over and tackle-hugged Rusty.

Rusty tussles with Scootaloo, pinning her down.

Rusty chuckles "Pinned ya!"

Scootaloo whines "*Pout* No fair!"

But then Scootaloo did something totally surprising, she nibbled the tip of one of Rusty's ears while simultaneously licking it, making the fox blush big time with his tails standing straight out while his eyes dilated before they returned to normal, becoming half-lidded with Rusty becoming putty with a dopey smile.

Danyelle spoke "You might want to wait another 12 years though Rusty."

Rusty didn't hear that as he was still on the ground motionless with that goofy grin on his face.

Scootaloo spoke "Hehe, I bet he thinks it'll be totally worth it."

A temporal warp ring had opened before a pair of three-tailed foxponies tumble out.

The pink maned foxpony spoke "Polished Nii-san, get your butt out of my face!"

Polished spoke "I would if you got your tails off my neck Cherry!"

Scootaloo asks "What the...?"

Polished spoke "Sorry about my idiot sister."

Danyelle took a sniff before her eyes opened up in absolute shock.

Sonic clamps a hand over Danyelle's mouth, stopping the nekomata.

Sonic spoke "We can't say anything about them yet. it's too soon to tell anyone."

Danyelle spoke "*Muffled* Sorry."

Sonic spoke "We don't know where or when they came from but we can't reveal too much about this... And the same goes for you as well Silver."

Silver spoke "Given how I might actually know them, it's for the best."

Sonic spoke "It could lead to irreversible trouble down the road."
