//------------------------------// // She's My Sister?! // Story: A Shocking Discovery // by xd77 //------------------------------// It was a cold winter evening in Ponyville, but for one pegasus, she felt as warm as blubber on a beluga whale. Fluttershy was sitting down on her couch sipping hot chocolate, while her pet rabbit, Angel, was curled up in his bed asleep. Fluttershy felt that she needed to know about her family, so she went to her lock box and pulled out documents claiming what was inherited to her and how much money was given to her as well. She dug out her family tree as well, her family was just as big as Applejack's, a whole trio of pegasuses, and pegasus fillies. However, something weird caught her eye, an orange pegasus filly with a purple mane and tail was sitting right by her and her parents. "What is Scootaloo doing in my family tree?" She asked herself "That's really weird, I don't remember her being in my family." Fluttershy dug out her family photos and saw a picture of herself as a filly, in the picture her dad was holding her and let her see a baby that looked exactly like Scootaloo, she then looked back to her family tree picture and it was confirmed that baby that her mother was holding was a newborn Scootaloo. "But if she's in my family tree and in a family photo? why is she living in her clubhouse?, and why hasn't she found anypony to take care of her?" Fluttershy pondered these questions, but then she picked up her family tree picture again and saw two stapled documents underneath. Fluttershy picked them up and started to read them. To her luck, it was signed by her parents, and these documents read: "To whom it may concern, in the event of our deaths please contact our daughter Fluttershy, even though she is young, and we have gone separate ways, we have always thought of her as the godmother of our youngest daughter Scootaloo, whom we are leaving in her care. We reckon she is still in Ponyville, we know that she would want to do the right thing." Signed Sandstorm and Snowflake Shy Fluttershy dropped these documents in horror, and gasped. She had never known this would've happened to her, Scootaloo, a young orphan Pegasus filly, that lived in a clubhouse, whom she thought had no family and someone to look up to, did have a family, a big sister, and that big sister was none other than Fluttershy, herself! "Scootaloo....is....my....sister?!" She asked herself. She picked up the documents and continued to read them: "Fluttershy had always told us that even though she was now a big sister, she always wanted to be Scootaloo's legal guardian. So we had her sign the second paper." Fluttershy flipped over to the second paper and it read: "I Fluttershy, have agreed to take over legal guardianship of my sister Scootaloo Shy, in an event of my parents' death." Once again, it was confirmed, Scootaloo had a family, and someone to take care of her. Fluttershy dashed out of her cottage and headed straight for the Golden Oaks Library, where Twilight, Equestria's newest princess, still lived. Even though she was a princess now, she wanted to remain in Ponyville as the town's librarian. Fluttershy had managed to reach the library and knocked on the door, when Twilight opened it, she was already in her night robe, and using a toothbrush with her horn to brush her teeth. "Comph in Fupphershy." Twilight said, it was hard to comprehend what she was saying because of her mouth covered in toothpaste. Twilight spit out the toothpaste, levitated a cup of water, and rinsed out her mouth. Once she got out she walked up to Fluttershy, who was sitting on a couch in the living room. "Now, what's wrong." Twilight asked. Fluttershy pulled out a saddle bag that she brought with her and showed Twilight the documents she had read back at her cottage. "Twilight, I was reading these along with this picture of my family tree, and that's when I saw a picture of Scootaloo in it, and then I read these documents, I discovered that...that.." Fluttershy was now too nervous to say what she discovered. "What, Fluttershy, what did you discover?!" Twilight asked, shaking her. Finally Fluttershy had the nerve to talk again. "I discovered that, Scootaloo..is my sister!" This caused Twilight to gasp, "Why didn't you say something to Scootaloo before?" Twilight asked "Well I didn't know about it, until now, I'm gonna wait a couple of days, because I don't want to freak her out, or have her not believe me. But when these two days are up I want you and the others there. Because I want to tell everypony." "Okay, Fluttershy, I'll gather everypony when you say it's time." Twilight asked. Fluttershy was about to depart back to her cottage, but not before hugging Twilight good night. "See you tomorrow?" Twilight said, "Okay Twilight, good night." Fluttershy said. As Fluttershy was walking back to her cottage, she accidentally rammed into Scootaloo, who was riding on her new Scooter Rainbow Dash got for her. "Hey Scootaloo, what's the hurry? It's getting late." Fluttershy said. "Oh hi, Fluttershy, I was just heading back to my place." Scootaloo said, "Gotta go, Fluttershy, good night." Scootaloo said, she then zipped away to the CMC clubhouse. Fluttershy watched her zoom away and gave a weak smile. "Good night....little sister." She whispered, she then dashed away for her cottage. Once Fluttershy made it back to her cottage, she opened the door and discovered Angel looking so cross at her, she now knew why. "Oh, Angel, I'm sorry I forgot to give you your evening snack." Fluttershy said, she pulled out a carrot and gave it to Angel, who ate it, hopped back to his bed and fell asleep. Later that night, alone in the hallway, Fluttershy was in her night robe, and stumbled across the guest bedroom. Fluttershy pondered for a moment, "Hmm, this will be her bedroom." Fluttershy said. She then trotted into her bedroom, got into bed and thought of how she was going to tell it to Scootaloo. She had finally thought of it, she would talk to Scootaloo in front of the others, show her the documents, and tell her that she is my sister." Finally she fell asleep.
