//------------------------------// // Alternate Ending: Star // Story: Scootaloo's Dreams // by Broneyofnoel //------------------------------// I walked off the stage of my last performance to a slew of ponies and paparazzi. After almost twenty seven years of dancing i was finally retiring to a life with my husband and hopefully have a few foals very soon. I was about to make the announcement in front of thousands who had gathered for my final dances. I passed dozens of reporters, each of which held a different camera which flashed at a different time, almost every millisecond of my walk from the performance hall to my room in the luxury hotel across the street was documented, although most of it didn't matter. I stood in the elevator, a select group of ponies surrounded me, including my husband, parents and the rest of the elements of harmony,all of us were happy that i was retiring, most of them were probably happier than i was. We were all either hugging each other or nuzzling as the elevator doors opened to the rear balcony, revealing a crowd of thousands of ponies, some of them holding signs, some yelling my name, but all were united as one. The crowd grew silent as I started to speak, "Everypony, tonight was the last dance in a major area that i ever plan to do, after spending my life focused on being the biggest and best in Equestria, I now plan on being a loyal mother, daughter, and wife to my wonderful family." The crowd stayed silent after my small sentiment, but one pony in the crowd yelled a sentence that I'll never forget; "Scootaloo, we all love and support you!" The crowd erupted with applause and whistling. I stood on the balcony holding my family and friends as I took in the limelight for one last time. Star walked up and started to speak, "I've known my wife for nearly forty five years not, the two of us have been through many tragedies, as well as many experiences that have changes us forever, but now we plan to take on the world as parents,I know that she is ready for it, I'm just hoping I am." The audience laughed as he did and as he left the balcony Star and I and our family walked away from the spotlight forever, we knew for once what was next, and we were proud of what was going to happen. The doors closed behind us and we departed from our family as they went to their own rooms, he and I headed for ours. "i love you Scootaloo." Star said as he kissed my nose. "I'll loveyou forever." I said as we closed our door. The two of us us would always be together, no matter through death, life, or somewhere in between.
