“Scootaloo, you need to get up, it’s almost time for school!”
“Coming mom!”
Scootaloo shouted back to her mom as she finished putting on her legs. It’s been six years since the accident, and scootaloo has mastered using her legs to get around in. After she had figured out how to walk in them, she started running and eventually got to the point where she was riding her scooter. At that point she was back to her old self, and continued on with her life as if the accident never happened, except that she never told anyone about it if they didn’t need to know such as her classmates. Not even her best friend Sweetie Bell knows, and they do everything together. The only people that know other than her mother, are her doctors, and teachers. Now going into high school, she’s attempting to keep her disability a secret, but it gets to be increasingly difficult to do so. Scootaloo walks downstairs just as her mom is about to check on her again.
“Sweetie, are you sure you don’t want to tell anyone about what happened? I’m sure that if you opened up to someone about it, you’d feel much bett..”
“No mom, if I tell someone it’ll make it worse. People will start pitying me since I have a disability, and I don’t want that!”
She shouts back at her mom before walking into the kitchen to make some breakfast, ending the conversation at that. Grace sighs and follows her into the kitchen to make her lunch so that she can get going to school and not be late. She packs a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an apple some celery, and a brownie into a brown paper bag. Scootaloo finishes eating her breakfast, then runs into the bathroom to brush her teeth, uses the toilet washes her hands, and rushes back out to grab her backpack and lunch. After she has everything she needs, Scootaloo puts on a helmet and gets on her favorite scooter before zipping off to school.
When scootaloo gets to school, she makes sure her socks cover her prosthetic legs, puts her scooter on the bike rack, and walks up to the front steps. When she is about to walk into school, she runs into sweetie bell and they chat about their summer, while trying to find their homeroom as well as their lockers. After a few minutes of searching, they bump into Sweetie bell’s sister rarity who is talking with her friend Applejack and her sister Applebloom. They ask for help finding their homeroom and lockers, and are shown around the school by the two older students, while getting to know their classmate, Applebloom. After figuring out where they need to go, they head off to meet their homeroom class, and ask Applebloom to come along so they can talk
“So Applebloom, what homeroom are you in?” Sweetie bell asks
“Ah’m in room 121, what about you girls?” Replies Applebloom
“We’re in room 121 too! This is great, we can hang out during homeroom.” Says Scootaloo
“Yeah, and since Rarity knows her sister, maybe we can hang out more outside of class.” Sweetie Bell chimes in.
“Ya’h right, I don’t know why Applejack never mentioned Rarity had a sister. If I’d known sooner, than ah’d definitely have hung out with you two sooner.”
“You said it, let's hang out during Activity Period. Now let's hurry, we don’t want to be late on our first day!” Scootaloo says, wrapping up the conversation as they start to walk faster to their homeroom. They manage to get through the door to their homeroom just as the bell rings, and they sit down in three seats, right next to each other. Their homeroom teacher, Ms.Cheerilee, starts to call roll, while also getting her students to arrange themselves in alphabetical order. Once everyone has their assigned seats, announcements are read over the P.A. And after that, everyone starts to talk to one another until the bell for the first period rings.
“I wonder what classes I have first. Whatever they are, they can’t be that bad.” Scootaloo says to herself as she pulls out her schedule and looks at her classes, while walking towards what she believes to be her first class.
1 ½ hours later
“That was horrible, I have to start every day like that!” Scootaloo says as she finds her friends “why do I have to have English and Algebra as my first two classes of the day!”
“That can’t be nearly as bad as having to do Global history and Spanish back to back. I nearly fell asleep during both classes!” Sweetie bell replies to Scootaloo
“That’s not nearly as bad as having to have music class, followed by theology. My throat's sore from having to sing in both classes!” Applebloom says to both of her new friends.
“Good thing that it gets easier in the afternoon. I can’t wait for gym class!” Scootaloo says with excitement
“What period do you have it?” Asks sweetie bell
“Next, when do you have it?” Scootaloo replies
“I’ve got it next too. It’s great that we have a class together!” Sweetie bell excalims
“Hey, ah’ve got it next too, that's a great coincidence.” Applebloom says
“Maybe today won’t be so bad after all” Scootaloo says
“Hey, ah got an idea, how about we have a sleepover at my place tonight! Ya know, to “celebrate” going back to school” Applebloom says
“That’s a great idea! I’ll just need to ask Rarity if it’s okay if I can go. What about you Scootaloo?” Sweetie bell replies
“Sure i’m in, let me know what time to be there, and I’ll ask my mom.” Scootaloo says.
“Awesome, ah can’t wait! Hey, why don’t we go ask Rarity and applejack now. They should be free.” Applebloom suggests. Both Scootaloo and Sweetie bell nod their heads in agreement, before rushing off to find the two seniors
