Everyone has a secret self they don’t show to other people. Not to friends, not to lovers, not even to family. They hide who they are and what they want behind lies and painted smiles. Thus the world maintains its thin veneer of peace.

The problems crop up when someone scratches that veneer while trying to do a 720 front flip on her scooter.

(This story is a semi-sequel to First Sleepover Between Friends, itself a sequel to Scootaloo's First Friend. But it is not required for you to read those fics to understand this fic. Featured on 9/9/2023.)

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle have made a new friend in the form of fellow blank flank Apple Bloom. Naturally, the friends have decided to have a sleepover, and Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom want it to be at Scootaloo's house.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, especially since Sweetie Belle's already been there. However, Scootaloo's parents have been called out of town, so she's been left in the care of her Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty. And Scootaloo is a bit hesitant to introduce her new friends to the aunts.

But Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle persist, so it seems Scootaloo has no choice but to oblige. It means her aunts will get a chance to meet her new friends personally.

Scootaloo knew that getting a mark wasn't easy, and that there would be risks, but when someone gets hurt because of her, she wonders if the effort of getting a mark is worth the sacrifices made along the way.

Scootaloo waits in a hospital bed for her father and aunt to decide her fate.

Pulls from the Hasbro novel Ponyville Mysteries: Riddle of the Rusty Horseshoe by Nicole Dubuc in which Scootaloo is revealed to live with her lesbian aunts in Ponyville.

OMFG Cloud9 did a full cast reading of this fic!

Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood bring an orphaned and homeless colt to Scootaloo and her aunts as a temporary home while they leave to try to find a new home for the colt, and Scootaloo and her aunts quickly discover the colt does not behave like a regular pony.

Scootaloo and her aunts, Holiday and Lofty, take a trip to the beach. Scootaloo's looking forward to have fun with her aunts. But as for Holiday, she had other plans, relaxing. So, Scootaloo does her best to make sure Holiday is having fun on the beach, even if it kills her.

A thank you to Thesmokinguy for proofreading before publishing and Mockingbirb for catching a late typo.

An MLP FIM fan fiction writer and super mega nerd who while in her Autumn years wakes up in the ruins of the Castle of the Two Sisters and finds that she is a filly named Kitsumi Nova. The very character she'd created just for fun. Her first obstacle will be to find her way to civilization.

From there the story becomes a slice of life where our former human must live out the life of a pony who is also a young alicorn. And if that's not enough, she is Nightmare Moon's daughter and fears what will happen if she presents herself at court. Will she be reunited with Princess Luna and reconciled with Princess Celestia? Will she go back to earth when the opportunity arises, and who wants Sunset Shimmer dead? OK, there's a long list for that last one.

Yes, this did start out as a blatant self insert. Originally I started it as an exercise in the first-person narrative and really had no intention to publish it. Ever. After a while, the main character morphed into someone older than myself and a bit more accomplished. Reasons for doing this is because, well, let's face it, I'm a deeply private individual and prefer to have that layer of insulation. There is also the issue where many of my life experiences simply don't fit the character I wished to portray.

The story itself is loosely based on my other Kitsumi Nova stories and is its own independent story in its own dimension within the Kitsumi Nova Multiverse. It also predates the Mustang sisters Nova and Summer. There will be comedy, and there will be poignant moments sure to tug at the heartstrings.

The story itself has seen several major rewrites and was even abandoned for a while.

Contains mild swearing and a few f-bombs
There will be one chapter in which the more squeamish may wish to skip over containing borderline gore and outright nightmare fuel. Granted that the more jaded readers probably won't even blink an eye.

Scootaloo arrives home one day, breathless and asking Auntie Lofty to do a presentation for Family Appreciation Day. Unfortunately, Scootaloo only wants the one part of Lofty's life she's not that eager to share.

An interpretation of Lofty's past featuring a popular sport.

Takes place just before and during "Family Appreciation Day".
