//------------------------------// // Presents? // Story: Finally Reunited // by Krystal Twilight //------------------------------// "How much longer?" Daring asked as she paced around in Zecora's hut. "I need it before tomorrow." Zecora was at her giant brewing bowl. She was adding ingredients. One after another. Her black and white face was calm and focused. "A potion like this is hard to conjure." Zecora said. Daring stopped pacing and looking at Zecora. "But for an old friend, it shouldn't take much longer." Daring sighed and walked over to the window of the small hut. Her eyes stared up at the clear blue sky. 'Scootaloo...' Daring thought. .... Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, finally made it to SugarCube Corner. When they were inside, Sweetie Belle ran over to Buttonmash. Who in return, gave her a kiss on the cheek. Scootaloo and Applebloom rolled their eyes but smiled for their friend. "Happy soon to be birthday Scootaloo!" Scootaloo looked over to see Spike and his marefriend, Demetria. Their tails interlinked. Spike was carrying two sapphire cupcakes Spike grew a lot since they were kids. He was about a foot taller then Scootaloo. He was lean and skinny, but strong. He even had wings now! Demetria, was a beautiful pony that was half dragon. She was a light red color, her hair was dark brown and in lose curls that was pulled back into a pony tail. She had big Teal blue dragon like eyes. She had no cutiemark though. Demetria claimed it was because she was half dragon. Demetria looked pretty normal if you don't count the scales, claws and sharp teeth. Oh and instead of a regular horn, she had two horns on both sides of her head. "Hey guys!" Scootaloo said walking over to them. Demetria frowned "I didn't know it was your birthday." Demetria said confused. "I never told you. Besides you only been here in Ponyville for, what, Eight months?" Scootaloo said. Demetria nodded, but the guilt of not knowing was clear in her eyes. Spike smiled as he stared lovingly down at his girlfriend. He handed her one of the cupcakes. Demetria looked at it then at him. A soft, loving smile formed on her lips as she took the cupcake from him. Scootaloo rolled her eyes and tried not to gag. She looked over at Applebloom who was rolling her own eyes. "Okay you four! We are here to celebrate Scootaloo's birthday! Not have a love fest!" Applebloom said. Sweetie Belle and Buttonmash laughed. Spike rolled his eyes and grinned. Demetria gave a big smile. Her eyes bright. "Can I bake a cake?!" Demetria asked. "NO!" Everyone in the bakery yelled. Demetria pouted but shrugged it off. "It was just a thought." Scootaloo smiled at her friend. Thankful for the thought but terrified at the idea. Demetria had good intentions, but every time she baked, she caught something on fire. Last time it was the lamp. Don't ask. "Okay, so baking is off the list..." Demetria said. "How about presents?" "Presents?" Scootaloo perked up at the idea. Demetria smirked when she saw she had Scootaloo's attention. Demetria nodded her head. Scootaloo could think of a thousand things she wanted. But she wouldn't tell Demetria that. Just because Demetria was rich, didn't mean Scootaloo would take advantage of that. "I can't think of anything I want. Sorry Demi." Scootaloo said shrugging. Demetria gave a look that said 'Filly, really?'. "I'll find out, I always do." Demetria said shrugging her shoulders. "Not lying. I never told anyone what I wanted for my birthday, and for good reason, but Demetria found out somehow." Spike spoke up, his cupcake all gone and licking his lips. Sweetie Belle gave a cheerful smile. "We could go to Canterlot and if Scootaloo looks at something a certain way, we could get it for her!" She said, her high pitched voice sounded out in the bakery. I gave her a glare. Applebloom was trying to cover up her snickering. "I don't think that is a good ide-" "Sounds like a plan! When should we go?" Demetria cut Scootaloo off. Scootaloo looked over at Applebloom for help, Applebloom looked at me and nodded her head in understanding. Good. Hopefully AB will talk Demetria and Sweetie Belle out of it. "How about now? Ah ain't busy, and I don't reckon you guys aren't." Applebloom asked with a smirk. Applebloom!!! Sweetie Belle's eyes widen and she smiled. "That's a great idea! Come on Buttonmash!" Sweetie Belle grabbed hold of her boyfriend and dragged him off. Demetria followed them, running fast while making sure not to trip, with Spike smiling as he followed her. "I hate you right now." Scootaloo said as she got up from her seat to follow the four others. Applebloom just smiled at me as she walked beside me. "No you don't." Applebloom said smiling. Scootaloo sighed in annoyance as she left the bakery. A small smile forming on her lips as she walked with her friends to the train station. ... "Daring Do, the potion is finally ready for you." Zecora said with a smile. Daring smiled as she looked at the potion. Finally, she will be reunited on with her daughter.
