Her new era

The week was flying by for the three mares. Twilight had to develop a new schedule since Scootaloo was residing at the library. Since the day they found Scootaloo in the abandoned house, Twilight and Rainbow Dash began to worry that she might get sent to an orphanage in Canterlot, or even worse, Cloudsdale. Everyday Twilight woke up, gave Scootaloo food, and took her to school. She explained what happened to Scootaloo’s parents to Cheerliee and told her that they will find a solution pretty quick, but told her to not to say anything to Scootaloo about it because she doesn't want her to suffer anymore.

Now it was friday, school just got out and The CMC sleepover got cancelled due to the discovery of where Scootaloo was found. Scootaloo was seen racing to the library on her scooter. Twilight told her that Celestia was going to come visit and help with the solution. As Scootaloo entered the library, she was greeted by Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

"Hey squirt how was school?” Rainbow asked.

"It was okay.” Scootaloo looked down anxiously. “So, Princess Celestia is coming over?"

"Yes, Scootaloo, she is gonna listen to you about what happened, Then she will ask us questions." Twilight chimed in.

Scootaloo couldn't help but nod. She knew that the princess will be able to help find a solution to her homelessness and lack of a family. Scootaloo went to the desk and took out her homework to do in the meantime.

Twilight and Rainbow went in the kitchen to talk privately. Twilight was extremely distressed at the thought of Celestia sending the poor filly to an orphanage or worse a homeless shelter.

An hour passed and Celestia came into the library. "Hello Twilight." greeted Celestia.

Twilight, Rainbow and scootaloo bowed to her and rose. Celestia then walked to Scootaloo. She could tell, in her eyes was the pain of missing her family.

"Scootaloo. Why....why did you hide the fact you were an orphan? Celestia inquired. “We could of helped you."

“I.....I didn't want anyone to know.” Scootaloo kept her gaze low.

Scootaloo then began to tell Celestia about her family. She told her that her father died in a flight accident, while her mother only made it as far as the hospital. Celestia remembered Scootaloo's father; he was a great flyer, who died by crashing into the ground too hard causing him to die.

Scootaloo also mentioned the fate of her sister, whom was raped. She then mentioned her brother. Celestia was shocked to know that Scootaloo was related to, Gray Cloud, an infamous hitpony who got caught and ended up in prison for the rest of his life. She then mentioned that her grandparents passed away when she was little due to old age. Lastly, she told Celestia that she never had aunts or uncles.

After 5 minutes of explaining what happened and how she was surviving, Celestia then turned to Twilight and Rainbow, and began to ask them a series of questions. When they found her, what condition she was in, where she was found, and so on. Twilight and Rainbow answered every question to the best of their ability. After a while, Celestia had to talk with Scootaloo, then to both Twilight and Rainbow Dash. In the end she headed back to Canterlot to talk with somepony she knows.

Thirty minutes later, Celestia came back in the library from Canterlot with a decision.

"You're sending her away?" Twilight said in a scared tone.

"No Twilight......” The princess spoke calmly. “I need you both to sign this."

Celestia bought a paper out of her bag and showed it to Twilight and Rainbow. It was an adoption paper, with Scootaloo's name on it. Twilight and Rainbow both looked at each other thinking of what to say. Then looked back at Celestia.

"You....you mean...." Twilight was bewildered.

"I'm giving you the authority and the obligated right to have custody of Scootaloo. By signing this paper, you, Twilight Sparkle and you Rainbow Dash are legally going to be Scootaloo's new mothers. My friend said, since you found her and took her in until a decision was made, he's going to allow you to adopt her."

Twilight and Rainbow were overwhelmed with joy, they got a quill and signed their names on the paper.

Celestia gave them a smile. "I'll update the records. I'm entrusting you to make sure this filly grows."

With that, Celestia was off. Scootaloo was ecstatic. Even though she has to live with a married fillyfooler couple, Scootaloo hugged Twilight.

"Th....thank you. Thank you, Twilight....er I mean Mom." Scootaloo cried with glee.

"You're welcome Scootaloo. Tell you what, I will have Pinkie throw you a Party tomorrow! Would you like that?"

"Yes."

Visit from Spirits

In what is now Scootaloo's bedroom, Scootaloo was sleeping. What she didn't realize that she was inside her dream. In her dream she was in a pitch black room, only to have a door, that says "Only will unlock when the dreamer wakes." Suddenly, Scootaloo heard familiar voices.

"Mom? Dad? Sis?" Scoots was puzzled.

"Hey sweetie?"

"But.....you're dead?'

"You're in the Dream Void, the realm where you can talk to your deceased loved ones. Come sit, we want to talk."

Scootaloo came close to the spirits of her deceased family and sat down.

"We been watching you from the great beyond. We are proud you found a new family."

"You...you aren't mad i'm now the daughter of two fillyfoolers?"

"No honey. We are glad. besides, they took you in when you were found, gave you food, and a place to live. They are happy to be with you. We also called them to this realm, us spirits can call others to come into the Dream Void."

Scootaloo turned and saw Twilight and Rainbow. She couldn't believe it. They were also in the Dream Void. For the time being They all talked and Scoots deceased family began to tell her to live her life as they watch over them in Skyhaven, a place where the deceased souls go, while evil goes to the nether. Suddenly they heard two clicks, It was 2 doors.

"It seems you're about to wake up. go through that door honey." Scoots’ mother explained.

"What will it do?"

"Once you enter it Scootaloo, you will exit the Dream Void and you be back in the physical world.”

“We’ll go through our door. See you back in the physical world." Called Twilight. Scootaloo nodded and watched Twilight and Rainbow leave.

"See ya next time." bidded Scootaloo.

Scootaloo then headed to the door, opened it and proceeded through, everything then faded to white.

_______

In the physical world, Scootaloo began to move in her sleep. She was waking up after visiting the Dream Void. Rainbow and Twilight were in their bedroom, they saw their new daughter stir in her sleep. Suddenly, Scootaloo awakened.

"Hey mom." Scootaloo greeted groggily.

"Hey Scootaloo. That was amazing how we managed to see you in the Dream Void. Even to meet your deceased family."

Scootaloo took it in and realized that dream did happen. Twilight came over to her adopted daughter’s side and nuzzled her. Even Rainbow nuzzled her newly adopted daughter. To scootaloo's surprise, they seemed liked the perfect family. Twilight decided to treat scootaloo to something as a welcome to the family gift.

After breakfast Twilight decided to go find Pinkie Pie, while Rainbow remained at the house to watch her new daughter. Even Spike seemed happy for Scootaloo, even though she was an orphan until yesterday. Through out that time, Rainbow had questions for Scootaloo, such as; why she didn't tell anyone? Why she didn't go to her friends? Scootaloo then told Rainbow that she was frightened that she was going to be taken away and be far from her friends. Twilight then came back with a smile for Scootaloo.

"Pinkie Pie’s gonna throw the party. She is happy, but i could of sworn I saw her mane deflate when I mentioned the terrible fate of your family. She is planning the party at 3pm.”

Scootaloo was now filled with satisfaction. She was now having a party congratulating her on getting a new family. Her whole life she kept praying for a new family. She never in her life of being an orphan thought that it would happen, and it happened yesterday. Scootaloo ran up to Twilight and hugged her. "Th...thank you Tw-.....mom."

"Sweetie, you can call me Twilight anytime you want."

Upon hearing this, Rainbow came by Scootaloo side and hugged her. She was happy that that Scootaloo’s time of suffering was over. She then gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek and hugged her more, causing Scootaloo to blush. Twilight also realized that since Scootaloo is part of her family, that means she now has even more members in her family, She then tapped her on the shoulder.

"Scootaloo i forgot to tell you, since you are part of the family, my mother, father brother and sister in law are now you new family members."

"Really?"

"Yes."

The party

The party came up and Scootaloo’s new family, went to the party. Once they arrived they met Pinkie who looked at Scootaloo with a smile.
"I really think your family will be proud. I bet they are watching over you in what we call Skyhaven." Said Pinkie as she and Scootaloo began conversation.

"What's Skyhaven?"

"Skyhaven is basically what we call, the afterlife. It’s where ponies go if they been good. Basically when you are there, you can do anything you wanted to do when you were in the living."

"Oh." The orange filly replied.

Pinkie then looked at Scootaloo with a happy look. "Go have fun Scoots."

With that, Scootaloo went on her way to do just that. She went over to see the Cutie Mark Crusaders. The smiles on their faces diminished when they saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They knew, since the very beginning that when Diamond Tiara, is near it means serious business.

"Well look who it is, an orphan pony." DIamond Tiara taunted.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?”

"Orphan pony, blank flank."

Rainbow and Twilight looked over and saw Diamond Tiara, a devilish look plastered on her face. They trotted over to see what's going on.

"You should of stayed where you belong and frozen to death. The world needs less blank flanks."

"I think you should watch what you say here, my new mother won't wouldn't appreciate what you said. You be getting punished if your father was here."

"SHUT UP AND GO FREEZE!"

"What are you saying to my angel?" Twilight asked sternly.

"Leave her alone!" demanded Rainbow.

"Why don't you shut up egghead. Go crash into a building Rainbow Trash."

This blew a fuse in Scootaloo. She got up and looked at Diamond. "You know if you keep this act up, you may be counted as a juvenile delinquent If you hit me in front of witnesses! AND DON'T EVER TALK TO MY MOMS LIKE THAT!"

Diamonds flipped her lid, she lept on Scootaloo and began to punch her hard.

"YOU LITTLE PUNK!" diamond shouted.

Diamond kept punching Scootaloo, everypony else watching the horror, until RIch came. He saw her daughter's behavior and it blew a gasket.

"DIAMOND TIARA!" He shouted.

Diamond Tiara then stopped, she just got busted. As she hopped off Scootaloo's face was black and blue. Luckily she wasn't through quite yet. She got up, and stood her ground.

Twilight and Rainbow looked at one another. "D....do you think I should press charges Rainbow?" Twilight pondered.

Rainbow looked at Scootaloo, then at diamond, whom still had the devilish eye. "*Sigh* Yeah Twi, we need to press charges."

"Mr. Rich?"

"Yes Missus Sparkle?" A disgruntled Filthy Rich turned to Twilight.

"Due to your daughters actions, assaulting my daughter, I’m afraid I have to press charges."

This made diamond furious. She then punched Twilight’s stomach knocking her down. This time Scootaloo laughed sarcastically. "Tsk tsk tsk. It's game over Diamond. You assaulted royalty, That will lead you, according to equestria law, 9 years in prison. Looking forward for your trial in Canterlot?"

Suddenly the police came in, They saw Rainbow pick up Twilight whom was okay.

"Ma'am you alright." The police officer requested.

"Yes. I'll like to press charges of juvenile delinquency on this filly with the tiara."

"Don't forget assault on Royalty mom, Under law that could lead her up to 9 years in prison."

Upon hearing this, The police were shocked, a school age filly knowing the law. They nodded and cuffed Diamond Tiara, who was going to stand Trial. As they left, Twilight used her magic to take pictures of the black and blue mark on her and the marks on Scootaloo to use in court. She then used a healing spell on her and Scootaloo. The party was about to continue when suddenly, there was a gasp. "Scootaloo. your flank!" Applebloom said
Scootaloo then looked at her flank and her mouth fell right open at what she saw, on her flank, was a Cutie mark, a Golden scale.

"Wh..What is this?"

Suddenly something clicked in Twilight’s head. "It's a law cutie mark, The Scale of Justice. It symbolizes that you're one with the law and that you will do anything you can until Justice is served."

Scootaloo's heart sank. She just realize she's the only CMC to get their Cutie Mark. "A...are you guy's gonna Kick me out of the group?"

"Of course not. We’ll change the rules, to Ponies who have cutie marks, can help those without them get one."

Scootaloo was happy, but she glanced at silver spoon who was happy. "S....Silver?"

"I'm just happy I'm free from these heavy chains diamond put on me. The reason why I bullied you is because diamond tiara was forcing me. She found my secret and she forced me to. I'm glad that little Brat is gonna get justice.”

With everything out of the way, the party continued, celebrating not only Scootaloo getting a new family, but getting a law cutie mark. The CMC, the other members of the mane 6 and Twilight and Rainbow Sat with each other, and were discussing things. Twilight was surprised. Like her brother, Scootaloo, had just shown she is a mare of justice. Moments before hand, Rich knew that charges were the right thing, and if Diamond was going to be sent to Juvenile Hall for assaulting royalty. But for the rest of the night, everyone partied.

The trial

Celestia sent the three a message stating to come to Canterlot for Diamond Tiaras trial. The family came to Canterlot and entered the courthouse. Twilight never been in the courthouse before, but she knew her brother had been when he was called for jury duty. As they enter the courtroom for Diamonds Trial they headed towards the Plaintiff bench. Diamond Tiara was cuffed. Celestia then entered the courtroom and went to the Judges bench.

"Court is now in session for the trial of Diamond Tiara." Celestia said. She then turned to Diamond Tiara,. "Mrs. Tiara, Is it true you committed Assault, and Assault on royalty?"

"NO! I HAD THE RIGHTS!" She exclaimed.

"Don't raise your voice, this is a court of law. A place where Justice is served."
Celestia then turned to Scootaloo. "Ms. Scootaloo, is it true that Diamond committed assault on you and Princess Twilight?"

"Yes your honor. She did commit assault on me and Twilight. We have evidence. Pictures of the marks from the blow."

Twilight than levitated the photos of the marks on Scootaloo. They were official, they were marks from a serious blow. Celestia then asked Scootaloo to take the witness stand. In Scootaloo's testimony, she recalled the events and had Twilight use her magic, to recreate a simulation of the events. After Scootaloo gave her testimony, Scootaloo then mention she saw Diamond punch Twilight causing her to get a black and blue mark.

As the Trial went on, Celestia had to talk with the jury, Scootaloo felt nervous. “Please be guilty.” She silently prayed.

Twilight could hear Scootaloo's thought, she then whispered in her ear. "Relax, If they give her a not guilty verdict, they will give her a restraining order Sweetheat." Twilight assured.

Rainbow then put a wing over Scootaloo and hugged her."Relax Scoots, it's gonna be okay."

5 minutes later, Celestia went back to the judges bench. "Diamond Tiara, The court, and the jury, has found you guilty of all charges. You will be sentenced to Canterlot Juvenile Hall, and to Canterlot prision when you're 18 for the 9 years until you served prison time."

With the verdict handed down, Diamond tiara was then taken out of the courthouse and led to Juvenile hall. Celestia glanced at Scootaloo. "You know Scootaloo. Twilight told me, that you received the Scale of Justice Cutie Mark, your kinda like her brother, but he's Captain of the royal guard. I hope you're future is good."

With everything out of the way, Twilight teleported them back to the library. As they reach the library, Twilight couldn't help but smile at her wife and daughter. They were glad diamond tiara got justice. As Rainbow took off her armor, Scootaloo asked her if she can help with her homework. Rainbow nodded and followed Scootaloo to her room to help her out with her assignments. Twilight went to the kitchen and made herself some mid-morning coffee. She couldn't believe the trial.
As she was having her coffee, Rainbow came downstairs and pecked her wife on the cheek, causing her to giggle softly. "Hows scootaloo's homework going?"

"It's going good. She said she needed help with math, I'm getting her a drink so she can stay focused. But I gotta say, I'm glad the filly that beat her up is now in Juvenile hall."

"Well I know certain ponies aren't like me. But I hope she does well in math."
With that, Rainbow grabbed Scootaloo a soda, and headed to her room to help her out.

In Scootaloo's room, she was smiling at Dash. "Thank you Dash."

"Your welcome!” Dash was always eager to help. “So why do you find math hard."

"Sometimes its confusing, right now we are learning division and I stink at it."

"Scoots, Division is easy."

"What you mean."

"Subtraction is the opposite of addition. Division is the opposite of Multiplication."

“What?” Scootaloo gave Rainbow a puzzled look.

"Heres a clue. Let use 9x9 for example. 9 times 9 is 81. now lets reverse it to 81 divided by 9."

Scootaloo suddenly realized it. She felt stupid. “Oh! It’s like multiplying, but with the answer to the multiplication problem is in the problem itself."

"Exactly. now look at your division problems and think that they are answers to the multiplication problems."

Scootaloo took it in and began to do her math, while Rainbow watched her do them. She couldn't believe it, the thing she said was actually working. After she finished, she called Twilight to check the problems. As Twilight check the problems, she then looked a Rainbow. "DId you give her the answers?" Twilight asked suspiciously.

"No. She found it confusing, so I told her to think using multiplication, but with the answer in the problem itself. Turns out she didn't even realize it was like multiplication."

Twilight was now happy to hear that her daughter was actually now realizing what division was. She hugged her happily. "You know Scootaloo, You may be different from me, but I think if you try hard, you’ll do great in life." The lavender alicorn praised as she nuzzled her daughter.

Scootaloo was happy that she got her math done. She then asked Rainbow to give her a flying lesson, to which Rainbow gladly obliged.

School

The next day Twilight and Rainbow were walking with Scootaloo to school. It turns out that this day was going to mark the first day without Diamond Tiara. As they reached the School, Twilight nuzzled Scootaloo and made sure she had everything. With that out of the way she headed into the building to meet Cheerliee.
"Hi Ms. Cheerilee." Greeted Scootaloo

"Hey Scootaloo. I see you have a law cutie mark."

"Let's not get off topic, I think we have a lesson to be learned."

Cheerliee was shocked that Scootaloo was ready to learn. She realized that Twilight and Rainbow must of told her about learning can make her succeed in life. Cheerliee then began the class.
"Alright Class, any questions before we start our lesson?' She asked

"What happened to Diamond Tiara?"

Scootaloo perched up. "I'm afraid I have to say this but, due to amount of evidence that was on her since that incident at the party, under law, the charges were finalized and she won't be in class again. Due to her being under the age of 18, the law basically states that anyone under the age 18 will be send to Juvenile Hall. She’ll be in Juvy until she's 18 for, what she did at the party."

Cheerliee was stunned how Scootaloo knows the law. "I must say Scootaloo, you know the laws really well. I'm shock ed she is in Juvenile Hall though."

With everything out of the way, the lesson began. Through out the day, Scootaloo was making an effort to pay more attention. She was glad things are going smooth. The next subject to came up was math. It was the same lesson as last time, division. Scootaloo was now nervous about it. She got the paper and looked at the problems, she was going to have a hard time. Suddenly a voice began to ring in her head, She then had a flashback what Rainbow told her. She now realized it and began to do the work as the lesson proceeded. She kept reminding herself that its like multiplication but reversed. The bell for recess rang and everyone went outside. Scootaloo was having a fantastic day.

After school

Rainbow and Twilight were seen walking together, to the schoolhouse. As they were walking they were talking to one another and revelling each others company . As they were walking they met up with Applejack and Rarity, who were heading to the schoolhouse also. As they reached the Schoolhouse the students ran out like the building was on fire. Scootaloo came up to Twilight and hugged her.

"Hey mom." she greeted

"Hey sweetheart house it going."

"Great. Thanks to Rainbow, I’m finally doing well in math."

"That's great Sweetie! How about we treat you to something from Sugar Cube Corner?"

Scootaloo’s eyes lit up over what her mom just told her. The family headed back to the library and dropped scootaloo's stuff off and headed to Sugarcube Corner for a treat.
