Aww, that's cute. I hope you continue with this story. I await to see how those punks fit into this tale again.
Surprisingly, I approve of Apple Buck/Silver Belle shipping. Who knew?

3307396 Not only do I intend to continue, but now I'm hoping to update more often. This one's been on the back-burner for way too long. Hopefully we'll get into something more interesting than a train ride in the next chapter, and by hopefully, I mean I've got to sort through a tonne of ideas so I make it all work together. Also, I hope everyone reading this hasn't just up and forgotten the point behind this whole story. I know it's been long enough for me to almost forget to continue this thing.

mmh..Interesting story.. I like it. The relationship feels natural and while I do feel Diamond Tiara is moving a bit too fast,(no clothes on the second night?)
Scoots is very honest and mature to hold off until they are sure this is something both want.
But I do wonder why it was Scooter who Diamond chose to go to?
Especially if her father has spoken of comfort. As you stated in this chapter, DT was a antagonist in their youth.
I noticed that I am missing Silver Spoon, as DT's Best Friend/Follower she should have been in the know what happened

Filthy Rich, If I had a daughter and she was attacked I would have gone mental. He is too calm for what has happened..or being a business man who knows the dangers of emotion.. plots behind his mask. I still feel he is too laid back, even if he trusts Scooter, I'd not let somebody who got attacked out of my sight.

I thank you for the emotional rollercoaster and hope to see more soon

If we aren't supportive of Apple Buck/Silver Belle would that make us assholes? And not the good kind?
Also, if Tiara were to give Scooter a hand/hoof job would she be choking the chicken? Or would Scooter need an asphyxiation fetish for that?

3316643 In order:
No, I'm going to be honest, I've my own reservations against the ship myself, though nit-picky they may be. Mostly, it's that it is basically a slightly different take on the ship. Which is strange, because I don't get what I have against shipping AJ and Rares/Lucy. Not sure. I have no true qualms with it. Hell, reservations aside, I love their little siblings being shipped together, provided it's done well. I don't know. I'm conflicted. Thanks for making me all conflicted. Thanks.

This question made me chuckle. Once. Quietly. Okay, so I was gripping my sides for a brief moment or three in laughter. Bottom line: I am refraining from chicken jokes, as no matter how anyone explains it to me, I will never get the whole "chicken" joke with Scoots.

3316836 I ship Rarijack as if my life depends on it, and I never supported a gay stallion ship until this chapter so...kudos to you. I see Sweetie Belle with Rumble or some boy in her class. And For some reason Applebloom gets a Changeling boyfriend.<pinkie shrug> Keep Buck's and Belle's relationship sweet and this will be great.
Scooter doesn't have an asphyxiation fetish does he? Do I want to know the answer?

3316984 I cannot answer for the real Scooter, but for the one I intend to portray here, no. Now, whether or not he will in my other story concerning him at some point or other is yet to be decided. Anyways, no need to worry about AB and Silver getting too serious in the story. The focus is as it was to begin with, and as is in the description. The little bits are simply my own "artistic" spices for dynamic interest. Though, now I'm giddy to try writing a few sweet ships after this one finally hits the heavy stuff.

Whoa, just stumbled upon this and im already hooked. I really hope it comes off hiatus soon! Really nice work here~

I'm confused. If the Cutiemark Cavaliers are male versions of Sweetie, Scootaloo and AB then how can Diamond be a mare? and is Silver Spoon in any of this?

3760306 Silver Spoon had an honourable mention, if you recall, but no, she is not in the story as an active participant. The main reason for that is that it would kind of clutter the story, for the sake of its direction, as I've already thrown in more characters than I currently know what to do with. In other words, it's going to take a while to find a good way to continue this as is, but if Silver Spoon coming in would be of any help for progressing the story, then it may happen.

Onto the CMC is male while DT and SS are still female part: I'm one of those writers that actively twists and works with conventions in stories, fitting them to my ideals. In other words, I have an idea and I figure how to use conventions to make it most palatable in my own opinion, thus, CMC is male, but everyone else is normal gender.

Interesting. I'll look forward to reading this.

This needs.... More!

3997620 I'm working on the next chapter now. I'm sorry it's taking so long. I'm not good with this yet.

It's so adorable

3316836 it's because of Pegasi being technically part bird because of the wings and how both scootaloo and chickens can't fly
