Another boring day at school thought Scootaloo as she lay her head on her desk listening to once again Diamond Tiara's
father, Filthy Rich. Family appreciation day was here.
"And that is how my job earns so much money" said Filthy Rich.
All of Miss. Cheerlie's class clapped there hooves unenthusiastically except for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon who clapped there hooves fast and loud.
" Thank you Mr. Rich that was very interesting", Miss. Cheerlie said, unsure of what she said.
Sweetie Bell leaned over to Scootaloo and whispered " That was sooo boring", Scootaloo chuckled quietly and whispered back. " I know right", then she snickered and chuckled more loudly.
Scootaloo's laughter was interrupted by Cheerlie's voice.
"Now the next student to bring in there family is..... "Cheerlie paused to check her list. Uhh, Scootaloo?
No one ever knew about Scootaloo's family not even Scootaloo herself, it was all just a mystery so at family appreciation day things got a little awkward for Scootaloo.
"Well, is there anyone you want to bring Scootaloo, or can" she said under her breath, Cheerlie asked nervously.
"It's okay Miss. Cheerlie, i know that you know i don't have any family".
"Well except for me and Sweetie Bell smiled Apple Bloom, well friend related, Apple Bloom added.
"You call that a family" Diamond Tiara smirked. "That's just a bunch of blank flank loser's", she grinned coldly. Silver spoon snickered along with the pink filly.
Scootaloo scowled at her enemies, wanting to say something, but couldn't seem to because there was a large lump in her throat .
"Girls that's quite enough" Cheerlie spoke sternly.
Riiiinnnnnnng! Cheerlie's stern face changed to Cheerlie's kind cheery face again.
"Have a good weekend my little fillies" Cheerlie called as her students poured out of the school.
Scootaloo,with her eyes glued to the ground and still thinking about Diamond Tiara's comment walked out of the school.
"Hey Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom Called as she and Sweetie belle ran up to her.
"Are you exited for our annual cutie mark crusader sleepover?" she asked.
"Only this time Rarity's letting us have it in the boutique, I'm so excited" she squealed, bouncing once in the air.
"Ya, Scootaloo answered solemnly, barely listening.
"Why so sad, it's not about Diamond Tiara, is it?" she said.
"Don't listen to Diamond, Scoots", Apple Bloom added. She's just a big o'l bully.
"Ya and we cant worry about her when were trying to get our cutie marks",Sweetie Belle said.
"Come on lets go to the boutique I wanna start extra early since i got some really good plans".
Scootaloo forced a smile at her friends as they began to walk down the road to the boutique.
**************
As the young fillies entered the boutique, Rarity, Sweetie Belles bigger sister was busy at work with her designs. "Hello girls" she welcomed, "getting ready for your sleepover i see" looking at Apple Blooms and Sweetie Belles heavy saddle bags filled with pillows and blankets.
"Please, let me take your bags darlings she smiled, levitating there saddle bags with her blue magic.
"Wow she seems happy today" Scootaloo remarked.
"I know, she got another order from Fancy Pants, shes been getting a lot of letter from him lately.
"I think Rarity likes him", Sweetie Belle giggled cheekily.The others, joined her giggling.
"Come on cutie mark crusaders, lets see what we can do to earn our cutie marks! "Apple Bloom yelled.
The three fillies rushed upstairs to Sweetie Belles room. Sweetie Belle grabbed a copy of the PonyVille map and placed it on the floor in front of her friends.
"Okay, so here's the plan were going to start at the boutique and end at the farm", Sweetie Belle pointed to the map.
"Then for sure we'll earn our cutie marks!" Apple Bloom said. Scootaloo still didn't say anything, but then she spoke.
"Girls do you, Scootaloo paused to think. "Where do you think my family is?" she said out of subject. It was quiet for a few moments but then Apple Bloom spoke up.
"I dont know, i never really thought about it before", she replied.
"I haven't either and i have been thinking about all day, cause i was thinking maybe we could earn our cutie marks on trying to find them"
"Thats a great idea! Sweetie Belle screamed. "What do you think it would look like", she wondered.
"Honestly, i have no idea",Scootaloo huffed.
"I know!" Apple Bloom said, we could go to Twilight's library. "I bet she has a family history book or something."
"Come on lets go now!" said Scootaloo. The three fillies raced out of the boutique and raced all the way to Twilight's library, all of them out of breath.
"Were ... huff huff here, Sweetie belled said panting then collapsed to the ground. " I don't think iv ever ran that fast".
Scootaloo knocked on the door, Almost immediately, Twilight Sparkle opened the door, as usual.
"Oh, hello girls,I'm surprised to see you here she said sweetly.
"Ya, I'm kinda too" Scootaloo mumbled under her breath sarcastically.
"So, I'm guessing you need some sort of book, you came to the right pony.", "I Have spell books, astronomy books, potion books...."
"Any history books" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Of course a whole row in fact" ,Twilight began to levitate all the history books on the ground in a neat stack.
"There really actually interesting,you can learn a lot from just one book you know" ,she smiled, "Its nice to know that some young fillies are interested in this kind of stuff."
Three fillies began searching through the stack of books, ready to read.
"Hey i found it!" Apple Bloom said proudly.
"Pony Ville history" she read out loud, "I bet it has everything in there", she added.
"What are you looking for anyway", Twilight asked curiously. I would be happy to help, if you want."
"Sure", Scootaloo answered. "Were trying to find my family history."
"No problem", said Twilight as she flipped through many pages. She looked at the book closely ," that's a shame the page your looking for is ripped out,"She showed the three wide eyed fillies the ripped page.
"Its supposed to be about all the Pegasus family's in PonyVille, but for some reason the whole section of it is ripped out". said Twilight.
"I'm really sorry"
"Its okay Twilight" Scootaloo said sadly.
"Wait!" Yelled Sweetie Belle "There's still all the other history's, like Canterlot, and Manehatten, and all the others!"
The excited white filly flipped through the pages of Canterlot history, Eventually she found the Pegasus pages.
"Look Its not ripped" she squealed excitedly, The four ponies looked at the book.
"But how are we going to know what your family looks like, plus your family could be in any town!" exclaimed Apple Bloom.
"Your right" said Scootaloo I don't know what mt family looks like."
"Wow, I don't think I have ever seen you guys this serious" Twilight laughed.
"Your free to take some of these books to look at" the lavender mare said.
"Thank's Twilight!" ,they all said together, picking up a few books in there mouths.
" If i only knew how to use my horn" Sweetie Belle sighed, smiling.
The happy group of fillies rushed out of Twilight's library and went to there clubhouse quickly. They arrived soon' and piled the books onto the floor of the clubhouse.
Soon they started flipping through the pages trying to look for Pegasus pages, amusing Scootaloo's family would be Pegasus.
"Girls, what do you think about going on a adventure?" Scootaloo asked.
"What kind of adventure?" replied Apple Bloom.
"Oh I dont know maybe trying to find my parents all through Equestria", she grinned.
Sweetie Belle spoke up first. "Sounds kinda serious to go all through Equestria but i guess ill give it a try", she smiled.
"Me too" Apple Bloom said as she sat next to sweetie Belle.
"But first your gonna have to convince you sister's and\or brothers", said Scootaloo.
"True, Apple Jack would never let me do that" Apple Bloom spoke.
"Neither would Rarity", Sweetie Belle sighed.
"Don't worry the cutie mark crusaders always find a way", Said Scootaloo.
"Tomorrow when Apple Bloom heads home she will ask Apple Jack, right?"
"Right" said Apple Bloom said with her head down, trying to figure out what to say to her big sis.
"And you ask too",Sweetie Belle.
Sweetie Belle just nodded.
"As for me I'll meet you two at the clubhouse tomorrow afternoon."
"Come on lets back to my house" ,Sweetie Belle interrupted.
The three fillies once again galloped to the boutique ready to enjoy a crusader sleepover. Tomorrow they would meet at the clubhouse as Scootaloo instructed. Tomorrow something unexpected would happen.
