"Welcome to your new home."

Scootaloo's eyes widened as she beheld her new home, knowing that her life would be better from here on out. "WHOO-HOO!"

"Welcome home Miss Scratch." Rarity said as she came in to greet them. "Am I correct in assuming that this is young Scootaloo?"

"Yep." Vinyl replied. "I'll have Rarity here give you the grand tour, I have to get ready for work."

"Wait, why do you have to work when you have all this money?" Scootaloo asked.

Vinyl turned and asked "How do you think I got this money in the first place?"

"Come along Miss Scootaloo, I'm sure you'd love to see the rest of your home..."





Later, at DJ-PON3 Records...

Vinyl's finishing up a call to the St. Faust orphanage. "Okay, send somepony over. ... Okay, thank you." Vinyl hangs up the phone as Octavia walks through the door, closing it behind her.

"Time for some fun." Vinyl thought to herself. "Hey, Tavi, glad you're here."

"Yes, I have some good news." Vinyl gets up from her desk and starts walking towards her. "We talked it over and... uh, Vinyl? Are you feeling okay?" Vinyl kept walking towards Octavia, giving her a strange look, and Octavia slowly backed up against the door. 

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just never realized how beautiful you were." Vinyl said to a rather uncomfortable Octavia, who was blushing like crazy.

"Um... thanks."

"Hey, how about you and I have some fun?" Vinyl asked.

"What?"

"You know, just the two of us." Vinyl exsplained with a wink."

Octavia stuttered, she had no idea Vinyl liked her like that. Just then, Vinyl fell on the floor laughing her mane off. "What?"

"Sorry, Tavi, I needed a good laugh. Come on, you know I don't swing that way." Vinyl said, getting behind her desk. "So, you said you had good news?"

Octavia let out a sigh of relief, cleared her throat and said, "Yes, I talked with the others and are prepared to take you up on your offer..."





"And here we have the library." Rarity said, leading Scootaloo through the house. "In here you'll find just about every book you could want."

"Yipee, books." Scootaloo said uninterestedly.

"I detect a bit of sarcasm there."

"Reading's for nerds." Scootaloo said.

"Well then, I suppose Miss Scratch is a 'nerd.' Of course she did add her own section to the library."

"Seriously?"

"Of course, come." Rarity led Scootaloo to another section of the library that seemed a bit different. "Miss Scratch is a big reader of 'Graphic Novels.'"

"Graphic whats?"

"Uh, comic books in a more book-ish form. Here's one you might find interesting." Rarity levitated one of the books off the shelf and into Scootaloo's hooves.

"Ponymon?"

"It's a good starter."

Scootaloo opened the book and noticed something funny. "How do you read this?"

"Ah, well this is a special kind that you read right to left."

"Oh..." Scootaloo said, now reading it the right way, she soon got lost in the book...
