//------------------------------// // Oh. // Story: Home is for the Weak // by Pickleless //------------------------------// Nopony stirred, starting to awaken. Scootaloo stared at the clouds. "Watcha' lookin at?" Nopony rolled over and asked. "Just some clouds." Scootaloo said absentmindedly. "Hmm..." Nopony pulled in Scootaloo close, using her as a teddy bear of sorts. "That one looks like an orange." "You mean a circle?" Scootaloo snarked. "Of course not, it..." "Looks like a circle." "I just woke up Scootaloo." "Celestia wakes up at the crack of dawn every morning to raise the sun and you don't see her complaining." Nopony wasn't sure what to say to that. "That one looks like a chicken." Nopony said. "Which one?" "That one there." He pointed. "That one?" Scootaloo squinted. "That looks like more like a pegasus foal to-..." Scootaloo slammed her hoof into Nopony's stomach, the larger pegasus only laughed. "That one looks like a giant demon spider." Scootaloo said. "That is a giant demon spider." Nopony frowned. The two watched as the giant monstrosity crashed through a building. Rainbow Dash sent a flying kick right into its jaw. Her other five friends jumped right into the fight with her. The giant demon spider's deafening roar broke a nearby window. "Huh." Scootaloo blinked. "Huh." Nopony lowered his head to continue dozing. Nopony napped lightly, enjoyed the warm sun. Scootaloo stared at the clouds. "Hey Scoots." "Yeah Nopony?" "If you could have any super power in the world, what would be?" "Any super power?" "Yeah, like super strength, super speed, you know..." Nopony closed his eyes and smiled. "I sometimes dream I have the ability to climb incredibly well. Hopping through tree branches super fast, swinging and spinning off them. I've always been envious of animals that could do that." He rambled on. "Huh." Scootaloo commented absentmindedly. "Another time, I had a dream that I could turn into liquid. At the time in my dream, I remember it being the strangest, yet most exciting thing I've ever done, being able to slide across the ground with no physical form." Nopony grinned. "Hmm" Scootaloo mumbled. "If you could have one thing, what would it be?" "One thing?" "Yeah!" "I wish I could fly." ... "Oh." ... Nopony wrapped a wing around Scootaloo. Scootaloo stared at the clouds.
