All the students in my class had gotten their cutie mark, even my twin sister; I was the only one who hadn't got one yet!
"Goodbye Scootaloo! Don't come back until you have a mark on that flank with meaning!"
My parents never were all that nice, especially about my blank flank. I was told I couldn't come back to Cloudsdale until I had found my special talent. I didn't know what it could be though, but knowing all about Rainbow Dash, I knew she lived in Ponyville, so that's where I set out to travel to.
I First learned of Rainbow Dash when my mom told me she babysat her, I'd heard so much about Rainbow Dash and how good of a flyer she was, My mom told me stories all the time! It just Amazed me! Ever Since I've been a huge fan of hers. I just couldn't believe how awesome she was!
I traveled all over Equestria until I ran into a nice pony in Manehattan, her name was Twilight Sparkle, she was there to buy new books for her studies, which I heard she does a lot of.We met at the Manehattan bridge, she saw me sleeping under a bridge with my Rainbow dash poster and suggested me coming back with her.
When we got back I stayed with Twilight and her dragon, Spike. They were very nice, but I didn't want anyone to think differently or her because I was staying with her even if I am forever grateful to her, so Twilight helped by conjuring up my own cottage very close to hers; it was small but peaceful, and I could see Cloudsdale from my window. I was getting homesick, I loved Cloudsdale and I had friends there, I especially loved visiting the track that Rainbow had her first race, which is where she also got her cutie mark.
When we go to Ponyville, I traveled all around Ponyville looking for Rainbow Dash but the first pony I met was a very hyper Earth pony named Pinkie Pie, and she was with a Pegasus named Fluttershy. They introduced me to Rarity, a unicorn, and another Earth pony named Applejack. They all were friends of Twilight but I just couldn't find Rainbow Dash. Where could she be?
Rarity asked me to help her get a gem that can only be found in the clouds so I did, I thought that Rainbow Dash could be up there but she wasn't. After I got the gem for Rarity I went back to her house with her; She was making a dress for her little sister, Sweetie Belle. She wanted me to size it for her, apparently Sweetie Belle's birthday was coming up! I didn't want to ruin her birthday so of course I did it. When we were done Rarity and I had tea, and Sweetie Belle joined us! She is another blank flank! I was beginning to think I was the only one. But I'm not! I jumped for joy! Sweetie Bell and I hung out, but just until it got dark, I don't want to worry Twilight.
When I checked in with Twilight, she was pacing back and forth, I told her I was back and asked if she needed help. She did. I helped her look for her book, and while doing so, I found a book all about cutie marks! She let me take it back into my cottage to read!
I was just sitting there reading my book when my door opened.
"Hey Scootaloo! I'm about to go to sleep, is there anything you need?"
"No, just leave the light on please."
"Will do!... Can I ask you something."
"Yeah, of course!"
"Why are you so determined to get your cutie mark?"
It was silent for what seemed like forever. But I figured I'm going to have to tell her eventually, so that's exactly what I did.
"My dad doesn't want me to come home until I have one, and the sooner I get one the sooner I get to go home."
"Here's a word of advice, do something you're already familiar with... Maybe your scooter could be your special talent. Maybe try some new tricks, and you'll get it sooner than expecting... Besides, I don't know of any pony who got there cutie mark in something they did for the first time that day."
"Thanks, Twilight. I'll practice new tricks all day tomorrow."
"Okay, well good luck. I might be gone when you get up. Just please be careful, and if you need anything just go to Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack is also very good at helping with problems.and if she's not there i'm sure Big Macintosh could help."
I really do appreciate everything Twilight has done for me and she gives amazing advice; Which I had to follow! As soon as she left my room I hopped up from my window seat to shut the light off and I curled up in bed. After all, I have a big day tomorrow!
