{Greetings Program's.} Thats what my reader's will be called. Kinda like how Slipknot fans are called Maggots. Hey, if this got front page you think Regidar will post crap on how he got here first. Naw this story isn't going to be on the front page. Anyways here is my next story. I do not own MLP.
The stars were twinkling while the moon was glowing white, lighting the world for anypony that who needed to see. While someponies slept the night away, some were still going about there day. Some were visiting friends, a few were just finishing their work shift. It was a usual night in the city of Cloudsdale.
In the quieting city, there was one mare that was going about her night like the rest of the ponies. But sometimes a little twist in faith is all it takes for someponies life to change. This is the story of how one simple box changed that mares life.
Rainbow Dash was walking throughout the city of Cloudsdale. After a long day of clearing the weather, Rainbow Dash was ready to go home and un-wind. But the one thing Rainbow didn't like to come home to was nopony. She didn't like the feeling of coming home to an empty house. It wasn't like she was looking for a lover or any-thing like that she wanted somepony to be there so it isn't so boring anymore.
"Ugh what was up with the clouds today?" Dash complained outloud to nopony in particular. A lot of clouds had 'gone astray' and Rainbow and a few other weather pegasi had to clear them. Even she couldn't clear the clouds in ten seconds flat like she said she can.
Dash was almost home when she stopped and her ears perked up."What the hay is that?" she whispered out loud She thought she heard what sounded like crying. She wasn't one to go solve a parent problem but the fact that is was already dark out and she didn't see anypony around made her very suspicious. She took off running to the source. She could tell the source was inside of something since it was muffled. She was grateful that she could even hear it.
Rainbow Dash soon found a box in the middle of an alley way. She could tell the crying was coming from the box. Opening the box and peeking inside she saw a toddler wailing around while bawling.The baby had an orange pelt with a purple mane. She looked and saw other things in the box. There was a toy stuffed monkey, a blanket, and an envelope. She reached for the envelope and opened it.
To whoever finds this, Please take care of my daughter. I could have taken care of her if it weren't for reasons I'd rather not say. Her name is Scootaloo. When she becomes of age I want you to tell her that her mother loves her very much and that if there was another way then I would have raised her myself. Tell her that I'm sorry for this and hopefully she'll forgive me.
Rainbow Dash could see tear marks on the page. Even she felt a tug in her heart while reading the letter. She looked down to the crying infant. Rainbow hasn't had a lot of experiences with babies other than Applejack and Rarity's little sisters. She could ask them about babies tomorrow but then again they were sisters, not a mother. Although Applejack has to take care of Applebloom like a mother since her parents were gone. She could help her a lot.
"Hey don't worry squirt" She said taking the toddler in her hooves. She grabbed the monkey toy and gave it to her. Scootaloo grabbed it and hugged the toy close to hopefully get warmth from it. Dash then picked up the blanket and wrapped it round the filly. The filly snuggled in the blanket. Rainbow Dash's heart nearly exploded.*
Reaching her home Rainbow was having a hard time wrapping her head around the thought of becoming a mother. She laid in bed stressing out about this. A moment ago she was wishing for somepony to be there for her. Now she was really hoping that she could find a way out of this. She couldn't just put her back in the box. What kinda mare would she be to re-abandon a baby. That's when a small, squeaky voice called to her.
"Mama." Scootaloo said to her she looked at her with her eyes gleaming.
Thats when Dash realized that what she had to do. Mother or not, she had to raise this filly as if she was her own. But to do so, she was gonna need diapers and baby milk. Glancing towards the clock, 'It couldn't be to late. It is an emergency.' She picked up Scootaloo and flew out of her house.
In the sky she knew where she needed to go at such short notice. As Rainbow was flying she was afraid that the filly would cry at the thought of being so high in the air. To her surprise, the toddler seemed to be enjoying the flight with her giggling and smiling.
"You're just like me when I was your age kid." Dash said over the wind of her wings flapping. The filly babbled more noises while looking at Rainbow dash.
Soon Rainbow Dash touched down at her destination, Sweet Apple Acres. Scootaloo was clapping her hooves and laughing while making more baby noises. Rainbow was hoping that somepony would be home to help her with Scootaloo. She walked over to the house of the Apple family and knocked on the door. The lights were on so somepony was still awake. Shortly after knocking on the door, Dash could hear Applejacks' dog barking.
"Quiet Wionna. Not everypony at the door is goin to hurt us."
Applejack opened the door to see Rainbow Dash standing there with a toddler in her hooves.
"W..W....w...Rainbow, why do you have a filly with you?"
"Applejack I need your help with her." Rainbow said desperately.
Applejack let Dash into her into the house. Rainbow looked around and saw that the house seemed empty. She was glad since she just wanted to talk to AJ alone.
"Now to tell me why you have a filly." Applejack said as she sat down on the couch.
"Okay so I was on my way home from weather patrol when I heard crying. I followed the noice until I came across a box with Scootaloo, a stuffed toy, a blanket and a note, telling me to raise her."
"Her name is Scootaloo?"
"Yeah it said so in the note."
"So why are you here then?"
"I need some baby things for tonight."
"What kind of things?"
"Some diapers and milk and bottles." Dash said nervously. She never thought she would have to say those words to a close friend like Applejack.
"Well sure Rainbow. I'd be glad to help you out." Applejack said as she began to get a bag of supplies to help Dash. She even taught Rainbow how to put on a diaper by putting one on Scootaloo.
After thanking her and telling her that she would visit tomorrow. Dash cradled Scootaloo in her hooves and took to the sky. Arriving home she was already exhausted from work and now she had Scootaloo to raise. As she and Scootaloo laid in bed together Rainbow went through her thoughts again. Could she really raise a baby? Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Scootaloo yawn and snuggled up to Dash. Rainbow Dash found her answer as she wrapped a wing around the toddler to keep her warmer.
