FORWARD TO THE ADVENTURE! ALLONS-Y! Chapter 26: A day to remember "CJ, are you alright?" Fluttershy asked with a hint of worry. "Yup... just making sure my heart still works..." This caused both Fluttershy and Scootaloo to giggle... "I'm serious..." I said under my breath. After making sure my heart was still beating I looked down to Scootaloo who had her face buried in my chest yelling things like, "Oh my gosh! I have parents!" "My daddy is DJ D1sASt3R!" "My mommy is Fluttershy!" "OhmygoshohmygoshOHMYGOSH" 'Holy jumping Jebus...' I pulled her from my chest and set her down. I bent down to eye level and began stroking her mane. "Don't get too carried away now... so... how about we go get us some ice cream to celebrate?" After I finished that she began jumping in place. The last few minutes must have been the most excited I have ever seen anyone. Ever. Of all time. 'Seems like Scoots has more energy than Pinkie... "Shudders" Naw, that's impossible' We all made it through Ponyville, Scootaloo walking between us. We made it to an Ice cream store and went inside. A few minutes later we all came out with an ice cream cone in our hands/hooves. Don't ask me how they hold it... let alone scoop it... just don't.... I got chocolate swirl, Fluttershy just got plain strawberry, and Scootaloo got the Rainboom supreme. It was basically an ice cream cone with three scoops of ice cream, each of them a different flavor and color and each had different colored candies in it. As we walked and ate ice cream we went and sat down against the wall of sugarcube corner. We sat there and talked. Just talked. After we finished our ice cream a thought came to mind. "Hey scoots, what do you think about learning to fly?" She looked at me in complete surprise and burst... again. "I would LOVE IT! I always wanted to fly! But nopony ever taught me!" I looked over to Fluttershy who smiled and nodded. "Well, maybe Fluttershy here will teach you. If you ask nicely." Scootaloo turned to Fluttershy and put on some puppy dog eyes that rivaled even Fluttershy's. "Pleasepleasepleaseplease!" Fluttershy slowly nodded. "Yes." Scootaloo jumped and cheered. I could tell she was having the best day of her life. We began making our way back to where we had met her with her friends. They were still there. We told her to go and play for a few minutes because we needed to talk to each other. She smiled and went to play with her friends. When she was out of hearing range I turned to Fluttershy. "So Shy, for now, who do you think she should stay with? I mean for like to sleep. Not to stay only there." She nodded and began to think. "Your house." She said without a doubt. "My house? Why don't you want her in yours?" She looked at me and sighed. "I do, but I would be so busy with the animals, and my house is already small and crowded, you have more room in yours." I thought for a moment and smiled back, "I guess your right, remember, she is only there to stay there to sleep and stuff, you have constant access to her for any reason, she is in BOTH of our care." I call for Scootaloo to come back. When she made it to us I spoke up. "Scoots, we have decided that you will be living with me until we figure out new plans on the living arrangements. Speaking of which It is getting dark so lets start to make our way home." The moment I said "Home." her eyes went wide. 'Oh ya, she never really had a home...' Scootaloo said bye to the girls and we all made our way to my home. When we got there it was around 11:30 pm. I walked up to the door and slid in the key. As I opened the door I turned to Scootaloo. "Welcome home." And I pushed open the door. Once I did I saw a blur pass me and Scootaloo was already examining the house. Soon she made it upstairs and went for the door leading to the DJ room. I stepped in front of her. "Not yet Scootaloo, I'll show you that tomorrow, but for now, it's time for bed, you have school tomorrow!" She nodded happily and turned around. A few moments later she looked back at me confused. "Uh.... where do I stay?" I looked for a moment before walking to my bed and pulling the covers down. I patted the bed, where she jumped onto it and got comfortable in the middle. I turned and saw a box on the ground. I saw a note on it. Dear CJ, Inside this box I have placed a few pairs of Pajamas. I understand that you may wear your underwear when you sleep, I feel that is not anyway to spend a night. So please take these as a gift from me. Sincerly; Rarity I made a mental note to thank Rarity later. After getting changed in the bathroom I went towards the bed. My pajamas were basically comfortable pants that felt like they were made of silk yet stronger than leather. It was too dark to see their color. I only had pants on because no matter what, I never sleep with a shirt on. But at least I can wear these. Would feel awkward If I slept in my boxers with Scootaloo in the bed. I got in the bed and lay on the right side of Scootaloo. Fluttershy came over and lay on the left of her. We both wrapped one of our arms around Scootaloo who cuddled up to them. What I heard almost made my heart explode for the second time. "Good night mommy and daddy... I love you..." Scootaloo whispered with her eyes shut. My eyes just shot open and I looked over to Fluttershy who was smiling with her eyes closed. I closed my eyes and lay my head down. "I love you too..." I whispered back.
