It was a winter afternoon, and ponies were dressed warm to keep them selves from getting hypothermia and frostbite. Ponies were going on their usual daily runs and going to work. Fillies were leaving school and the Cutie Mark Crusaders  were seen running out of the school house. They had plans for a sleepover for the weekend coming up. As they were walking, they were discussing what they were going to attempt to do to get their cutie marks. Applebloom suggested bowling, but she realize she and the other two did that. They continued discussing until they gave up. "So how about we have a sleepover at your place Scoots." Sweetie Belle suggested

"Uh ummm..... I'm not sure......"

"What's wrong? You chicken?"

"Look i'm not prepare to have a sleepover at my place."

"Scoots your okay?"

"I need time. let me go home. *SIgh*"

Scootaloo sighed and she went on her way to go home. Scootaloo didn't want anyone to know the tragedy she went through when all her family members past away, leaving her brother to go to jail. Scootaloo didn't want anyone to realize she was an orphan. I don't want them to know. They will hate me for telling lies about my parents. scoots thought to herself. Scoots began to head her way to sugar cube corner in a sadden state to have a quick bite before heading back to her so call home


Golden Oaks Library


In the library, Twilight and Rainbow were seen goofing off.  Ever since Rainbow proposed to Twilight and they married each other, Rainbow gave up her house and decided to live with her alicorn wife. "*Giggles* Rainbow you know, I think i married the perfect mare to be my wife." Twilight said

"What can i say, You are a beautiful mare too. I'm glad I married you."

They began to giggle at each other and proceeded to kiss. They kissed like they had they had the whole world to themselves. As they kissed, they del their breath became warm. Rainbow backed up and proceeded to take her guard armor off. When they got married, Rainbow became Twilights first royal guard and couldn't help but feel great about it. "Now where were we. Oh I remember." Rainbow said teasingly. Rainbow began to give Twilight kisses, Spike came in looking for them, which caused Rainbow to jump. "Gee, Spike, knock next time." Rainbow said in a irritated manner

"Sorry. I'm still getting used to two mares being here. Anaway, Sweetie belle and Applebloom, are looking for you Twilight. They said something seems up with Scootaloo. They think she's hiding something."

"Okay i'll be down their. Rainbow i'll be back for round 2."

With that Twilight went downstairs to see what the CMC wanted. As she went downstairs she saw not only two of the three CMC, but Applejack and Rarity. They all had a conceded face. "Whats wrong?" said Twilight

"We...we were planning a Sleepover at Scoots place. But she said no."

"It's probably because her parents say no."

"That's the thing Twi. Every time we see scoots, She's by herself Every time when school ends her parents don't show up, not even at meetings. She even didn't give us any detail about her parents. all she said was that they were the best parents she had."

when hearing this, something clicked in Twilights head. "Say that again Applebloom. about the part with best parents."

"all she said was that they were the best parents she had."


Twilight now realized what scootaloo was hiding. She realized that scoots was hiding the fact that she's an orphan. Twilight was shocked upon hearing this. "Girls, i recommend you get yourselves and your sisters home. Me and Rainbow are going to find her." Twilight said

The sisters nodded and head their way back to their homes. Twilight, put on her jacket and ran upstairs to get Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow put your armor back on. We have a problem."

"Aw Twi, we were going to start round 2. What's wrong Twi?"

"I've found out something about scootaloo. we need to find her. I'll explain when we search for her."

Rainbow nodded and then proceeded to put her purple armor on and put her jacket over it. Twilight then casted a cloak spell on both her and Rainbow and proceeded to search for scootaloo.


8:00 PM
abandon house


Scootaloo just finished a decent meal at Sugarcube corner with her bits and she proceeded to head back to her current home, an abandon home on the outskirts. As she Walked in, she put her bags down and went into her so called room. In her room she then grabbed a old letter that she open certain times. She now was crying. Mom, Dad, why did you have to die in that accident? she said to herself. Suddenly She heard a noise, and a sound of magic being lifted. She then saw two shadows coming up the stairs. As the Shadows open the door , she noticed it was Twilight and Rainbow Dash. They were shocked to see where scootaloo ended up.

"Squirt? Why? Why didn't you tell us the truth? Why didn't you tell anyone you're an orphan?" Rainbow said in a gentle tone.

Scoots then had tears in her eyes. Her secret was out. Twilight felt bad for the filly, the poor thing was left to defend herself. She then glimpsed at a letter that scoots was holding. "What's that" Twilight asked."

"*Sinff* My one last letter, from my mom, before...before....she died."

Both Rainbow and Twilight looked at each other. They now figured out Scootaloos mom must of died when she was young. Twilight nor Rainbow wanted to leave Scootaloo in this house. Twilight walked up to Scootaloo. "Hop on my back. we'll take you to the library. You can stay with us, until we decide what to do about the situation."

Scootaloo was shocked, Twilight offered a place for her. Without resisting, she hopped on Twilight's back and the group headed back to the library.


Library


At the library, Twilight was making Scootaloo hot chocolate, while Rainbow got Scootaloo a blanket. She was very cold. Scootaloo was now wondering why Rainbow was here. Um... R....Rainbow?" Scootaloo asked

"Yea squirt?"

"Why are you here?"

"I....I live here with Twilight now."

"What happened to your house?"

"I sold it."

"Y...you still have your job as a weather pony?"

"I retired."

"Oh. Well i guess you're still in the wonderbolts academy."

"I dropped out. I wanted to be with my wife, Twilight. I'm also her royal guard."

As she finished her sentence Twilight came to scootaloo side and gave her the hot chocolate and she began to drink it. She was still cold but the Chocolate was helping her warm up. After she finished drinking it Twilight then took the cup to the sink and came back and sat by scootaloo along with Rainbow Dash. She saw the tears of pain in Scoots eyes. "Scootaloo, What happened to your parents?" she asked

"I never told anyone this. When i was little I was home alone one day in ponyville, I was waiting for my mother and father to come home. No one was home at the time, my sister was murdered by a rapist, my grandparents past away when i was young, I have not aunts or uncles, and lastly my brother ended up in jail, because he was a Stallion for hire to kill and gets payed for it."

Twilight and Rainbow both were stunned what they learned about scootaloos brother. He was a Hitpony.

"I....It wasn't until later in the evening i got a letter, from......from my Mom."

"A letter?"

"Want me to read it for you?"

Both Rainbow and Twilight nodded and Scoots began to read the letter.


My angel Scootalooo
By time you read this, me and your father have passed away.
Your father was killed in a flight accident while I survived but died in the hospital.
I want you to know you are the only remaining member of this family.
Please, stick up for yourself. We be watching over you from the afterlife.

Dust Storm


Twilight and Rainbows hearts were now broken. They now realized that scootaloo is the last remainder of her family. They felt hurt inside for the filly. She was left to fend for herself.  They couldn't believe how the filly was still alive. Scootaloo than began to shed tears a little and Twilight began to rub her back. "Its okay scootaloo." Twilight murmured .

"My parents are dead. My families gone. What point is their being okay."

Twilight and Rainbow felt very bad for Scootaloo. Scootaloo life was ruined. They needed to figure out something. Suddenly Twilight hit an idea. She could give Scootaloo the guest room. She didn't want Scootaloo to suffer anymore. "Rainbow, honey, can you show Scootaloo to the guest room?"

"What ya mean Twi?"

"She is gonna stay here until I decide what i'm going to do."

Scootaloo eyes widen and she looked at Twilight. "you mean it?"

"Yes scoots. I'll figure something out during the week. I promised. but for now, why don't you hit the hay."

Scootaloo nodded. She was very tired and Rainbow led her to the guest room. In all of the time Twilight was here, she never knew scootaloo hid something from em. She never knew scootaloo was homeless,  Twilight was now thinking hard, she was deciding if adopting Scootaloo was an option and becoming her mother, and Dash becoming her sister in law, she knew that would make Scootaloo happy. But right now, Twilight needed time to decide what to do for the poor filly."
