Scootaloo Scar Wing stood at Scootaloo's side, watching for their acquaintances to walk up the path and knock on the door. Scar Wing saw part of Apple Bloom's pink mane and ran to open the door. Sweetie Belle knocked and Scar Wing opened the door and held it for her and Apple Bloom.
"Hello Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom."
"Hello, Scar Wing. It's nice to see you again. Where's Scoots?"
"She's in the kitchen."
Sweetie Belle left and walked into the kitchen to help Scootaloo with dinner. Heart Beat, Scootaloo and Scar Wing's daughter, walked up to Apple Bloom. Her long, black hair looked dark against her pink coat. She had been born with no wings, only stubs where they should be.
Apple Bloom smiled at her and asked, "How have you been, Beat?"
Heart Beat smiled so big her eyes shut, "Great! Mommy took me out to the grove and showed me how to pick berries. We picked wild raspberries and ate them for lunch."
"Oh," Apple Bloom said with a small smile on her face. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo walked into the living room and sat down.
"Look at us," Sweetie Belle said, "Here, together, just one big happy family."
"You can say that again," Scootaloo said as she rested her head on Scar Wing's shoulder, "I wouldn't give it up for anything."
