I'm shipping the Scoots-Will-RD love triangle so hard right know (although I'm drastically leaning ScootaWill, because I see actual emotional/romantic attachment and depth developing rapidly).
Love triangles almost never happen when polyamory/ herds are perfectly acceptable options so I doubt that will happen.
Mostly hoping scootaloo will be just a rediculously good friend, just because I want to see a relationship with main characters that are not sexually or romantically attracted to eachother and are extremely close while a good romantic and sexual relationship also happens with main characters that are extremely close.
I'm fully aware this will not happen, but im going to live in my fantasy world until im proven wrong. Which will most likely happen in the next chapter.
You know, I really hope there is no ScootWill in this. It's nice for once to see a teenage girl being just friends with an older guy; hell, if anything this seems to be going the "adopted big brother" route.
What's with the shower thing? Did Scoots ask both of them because pegasi have a spot of trouble cleaning themselves fully (plausible, given the wings), and Dash goes at it alone for her typical "I don't need anypony's help!" stubbornness?
5577660 sounds about right i mean think about it, it must be hell trying to turn your neck JUST to reach the feathers near your back for preening let alone washing
5577660 Communal bathing isn't such an unusual thing, even for humans. And since ponies are all nudists anyway, they might as well.
And yeah, I really agree. No need to go any further with this. Aged up or not, I still think of those three as at most like eight years old. She certainly doesn't behave much more mature so far.
Holy Luna I love this story. I can't wait for more.
Also I just wanted to put my put my two cents in. I would be so down with some Scoots X Will, but if not, then I would still be cool if he was just like an older brother to Scoots. Basically what I am trying to say is... I want more Scoots and Will...
Wow, there are a lot more split opinions than I was expecting on this. Well, no matter what I do it looks like there are going to be disappointed people. I hope at least that whichever way their relationship goes that it will make sense as they get to know each other and as the story develops.
5583336 I think their relationship could go in any direction and work. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. Just don't worry about pleasing everyone.
5583336 Exactly; there will always be disappointed/disapproving readers for every author everywhere, so take my limited advice and say "I'll do what I want!"
Following an odd occurrence I’d noted about Ponyville, the door came just shy of being able to accommodate my height, and I’d only need to bow my head slightly to get through. Why ponies needed such high ceilings I’d never understand, but I wasn’t about to complain.
They're probably made to be just tall enough not to cause any issues if an Alicorn or a member of a tall species like Minotaurs. (I imagine Minotaurs are about 5' 5", given Iron Will's height relation to Fluttershy, and Fluttershy's height relation to Rainbow. Which would also be in line with the doors being about 5" 7 or so, and therefore just small enough to force him to hunch a bit.)
I feel bad for the guy, he’s totally into Dash but she’s just not into it. Hope she comes around. It almost feels like he’s with Scootaloo and not Dash at this point.
Why ponies needed such high ceilings I’d never understand, but I wasn’t about to complain. Having to constantly duck anytime I went into a building would be a pain in the back, quite literally.
Hasn't he ever met Celestia? I'm pretty sure it's considered "bad form" to give your sovereign a concussion if she ever came for a visit and you invite her into your home for tea...
Hmmmm, I'm sensing a bit of a spark between Scoots and Will........ ya know, I'm not opposed to it, far too few stories that have Scoots as a romantic option for the MC, they usually just keep em as an adorable lil filly, not an adult.
Ultron loves Orange soda and Good Burger.
DAMN YOU AND YOUR CLIFFHANGERS! Love the chapter, though. Keep it up man! :DDD
Another awesome chapter to what is turning out to be a real attention grabber for me. Loving it so far, keep up the awesome work.
Am I seeing a hint of ScootaWill here? I mean, is it gonna be a love triangle thing?
I certainly hope not. She still goes to school. If this turns into kiddie porn I'm out.
You're really teasing some sort of relationship between these two.
I can see it now, a really awkward love triangle with Will stuck between Rainbow and Scoots.
5577154 She's aged up, nearly 18.

Had some weird vibes until I was reminded that she's aged-up to avoid any visits from Chris Pransen.
Get it?

5577660 Most huge societies had communal baths. Everywhere from China and Japan to Greek and Roman Empires. Not uncommon in human history.
Idk, I was hoping Scoot x Will would be a thing since Will first met her, either way I will be interested to see how it turns out!

5583336 Whichever way you swerve to, here's the deal:
Make it as plausible as you can, and the vast majority will be able to take it. Yes, even the dissidents.
5583336 Calling it now he is getting with Flip...right?

Dammit. You caught me. You know I can't resist the m/m human on pony.

Good advice. Better advice is to make "what you want" as close as possible to "what I want."

I'm older then Luna and I still act like a eight year old with my friends... As do most humans/ponies.

I'm really loving this actually. Very well written! Why do I see a potential spark between Will and Scoots though.... interesting.
I think what I'm happiest about most is finding a fic that actually DOESN'T involve Scoot-abuse for once lmao!
Pausing in my reading to comment: y halo thar Knives Chau.
Feels like the rainbow / scoots war may begin soon.
Awwww sheeeeeeet... dem hugs.
LOL, that shower bit, rearry? I approve 8D
Nice job!
I SEE YOU PUSSPUSS!
I SEE YOU DOWN THAR! O^o
