With a moment of hesitation, Pipsqueak stepped over the threshold of the Ponyville Orphanage, with a stoic expression on his face. Since his parents were dead and he didn’t have any other family members, he had nowhere else to go, so he would be living here now.

After he had been given a room, he walked passed a group of orphans, consisting of two pegasi and an earth pony.

“I can’t believe we have to share a room with Pony Tom Sawyer.” The blue earth pony, who looked eerily similar to Scootaloo said.

“Don’t fret, Archer,” Scootaloo said, standing next to her. “Though his mind is not for rent.”

“Don’t put him down as arrogant.” Featherweight joined in.

“His reserve, a quiet defence.”

“Riding out the day’s events.”

“The river.” Scootaloo announced.

…

“This chapter was all just to make a JJBATAS reference, wasn’t it?” Archer asked, with her eyes half closed.

“Oh, maliciously.” Scootaloo confirmed.
