//------------------------------// // Season 2: Episode 6 - Her Biggest Fan (Easter Madness 2024) // Story: Hamtaro x MLP:FiM - Little Hamsters, Pony Adventures // by RobtheMorpherPony //------------------------------// It had been a great time with the CMC today for Sparkle. She was really enjoying herself with the three fillies. And Sunset was here now. "Well this has been great, but I should probably get back home now." Sweetie Belle said. "Same with me actually. I better head on home." Scootaloo said. "You know, you've never really told us where you live Scootaloo. Some time, you gotta let the rest of us come visit." Apple Bloom said. "Yeah, it can't be worse than the last time we all slept over at a place. No offense Sweetie Belle, but the fact that you caused us to sleep over at Fluttershy's house because you just had to use Rarity's Gold Silk (H26) for your cutie mark crusader capes is just all kinds of messed up." Sparkle said. "None taken; I'll admit that was fully on me." Sweetie Belle said. "Well...well I'm not sure my parents would be okay with letting you stay over. And convincing them otherwise...let's just say it'd be easier if I fought Nightmare Moon then trying to convince my parents to let you stay over." Scootaloo said. "They can't be that difficult. Hey, maybe I could go with you; I know how to read others because of my actress background you know. That could really come in clutch for something like convincing your parents." Sparkle said. "That's nice of you to offer Sparkle..." Scootaloo said as she got on her scooter. "But...but I would rather want to do this on my own." "Better not push it. From what ma sister says, Pegasi can be pretty stubborn. But then again, Fluttershy hasn't really been that stubborn." Apple Bloom said. "I wouldn't call Rainbow Dash stubborn, just a drive to want to be independent." Sweetie Belle said as Scootaloo went off on her scooter. "...Ah guess you have a point there. What do you think Sparkle?" Apple Bloom asked. But surprisingly, Sparkle had gone missing. "What the...where did she go?!" Sweetie Belle asked. "Maybe she went home already, not wanting to argue with Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom asked. "Well if she doesn't turn up tomorrow, we're looking for her with Scootaloo." Sweetie Belle said. "...Fair enough..." Apple Bloom said. Scootaloo managed to avoid being seen by any ponies, as she suddenly ducked right into an allyway, which was decorated with some Rainbow Dash Posters. "...It's better they never know about this." Scootaloo said as she parked her Scooter outside. "...No one can know about this, not even Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo got herself quickly situated into a box in the allyway. "If anyone knew, I'd probably be sent to the orphanage, or worse." "...Gee, you must really think the world of Rainbow Dash huh?" Sparkle's voice suddenly asked. "What the--" Scootaloo suddenly felt the top of her head, finding the very hamster had somehow snuck her way under the helmet. "H-how did you?" "You should've really remembered when the Ham hams got the extra tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. And if you really think Rainbow Dash of all ponies is going to report you because you're an orphan living on the streets, you must not really trust her all that well." Sparkle said. It wasn't long after that that Sparkle got kicked out of the allyway, but no pony was around to see her. "...Well now that was just rude. I was going to try and help her." Sparkle said. "Welp, nothing for it. I'll have to show her that she really doesn't get Rainbow Dash that well by tackling this issue from a different angle first thing tomorrow." Sparkle had actually told Applejack to let Apple Bloom know that she had something she wanted to do specifically today, so no search party was launched for the hamster. However, this was something better done out of range of Scootaloo anyways. Sparkle quickly found Rainbow Dash with Tank out near the park. "Rainbow Dash! Wow, finding you was easy." "Oh hey Sparkle. Did you want me for something?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sparkle decided to do some checking. "Rainbow Dash, what do you think about Scootaloo? Be honest. I don't want your edge this time; or your sass. Just bear the truth to me." "I'm not one for honesty, but I guess if you want me to be honest for a change, I won't sugar coat this: I'm a little worried over the squirt. She's constantly zipping around town on her scooter, and it's a little worrying that she hasn't been able to get in the air yet. I wonder if Scootaloo would be okay with having me as a mentor." Rainbow Dash said. Sparkle's eyes went wide. "You'd...you'd be willing to take Scootaloo up as a pupil? Just because?" Sparkle asked. "Wow. No wonder Scootaloo idolizes you. Her place was filled with posters of you." She said. "Heh yeah. Thing is, I'd need her parents permission. Do you know where she lives so I can go ask?" Rainbow Dash asked. "...As I matter of fact I do...but this is something you'll need to see for yourself at Sunset..." Sparkle said. Another failed day of crusading, but Scootaloo felt that there had to be something coming up soon. Still, she returned to the allyway that was her home. And was about to go into her usual box when suddenly, Rainbow Dash suddenly flew down from the sky. "R-rainbow Dash h-how did you..." Scootaloo said. "P-please...please don't--" But without saying anything, Rainbow Dash just scooped Scootaloo into a wing hug, and just let the lilly filly cry her eyes out right there and then. Sparkle watched that happen from outside the allyway, with a few other Ham-Hams. "So...you had a feeling when Rainbow Dash saw this...that she'd do a lot more then take Scootaloo up as a pupil huh?" Hamtaro asked. "I keep saying that my actress skills allow me to read people, and the way Rainbow Dash talked...it was basically a given she'd do what I'm guessing she'll do." Sparkle said. "Gee, you really are trying to change." Bijou said. "Heh. I think I'm doing a lot more then just trying." Sparkle said. "...I suppose you're not wrong." Hamtaro said. The very next day, Rainbow Dash worked out everything and was even able to create a scooter ramp for Scootaloo down from her cloudhouse and have the paper work for Scootaloo to be living at Rainbow Dash's house as a dependent.
