Tell me, what do you live for? Is it for work? For study? Or is it for the important things? Pleasure, art, friends, family, love? Do you live to work? Or do you work to live?

Twilight Sparkle enjoys spending a little time with the cutie mark crusaders, if only to pretend for a short time that her life could have been different.

Perhaps in some other timeline, with some other princess, a life where monsters and the salvation of Equestria isn't her responsibility... a life that she knows she will never have.

A simple life.

A happy life.


Thanks for inspiration goes to Mysticalpha for the short comic.

a good story that I did not see coming, I hope you can make another twilight/Scootaloo mother pair, this are rare but I did not exspect twilight to be her mom fore real. thanks for the story please make another one that goes with this one

Part of me would like to see Scootaloo or RD find out and confront Twi, the rest is happy where it ends. Good fic regardless.

Pretty good fanfic, I also think of Twilight as a mother figure for me it's more to Apple Bloom mostly from the Season 1 episodes "Bridle Gossip" and "Call of the Cutie". Do you plan on doing more of Twilight as a mother figure to the other CMC or just this one with Scootaloo?

Hehe, thanks! I didn't expect so many people to request a continuation. I'm considering it now, though we'll see about how soon it can come out. :P

6695080 If you haven't yet please take a look at my current fanfic Mum's the Word I'm currently in the process of improving it but tell me what you think of it so far.

:rainbowhuh:: Are you cryi-
Dilos1: I AM NOT CRYING!

Uuuh... that was... nice, I dare say. The ending did kind of pop out from nowhere though.
It also has a slight discrepance with the summary of the story. That one talks about Twilight wanting to have a simpler, happy life, so I thought the Sad part would have come from Twi cracking a little under the pressure of being a Princess and all that stuff, not... THAT ending.

I feel like the summary lied to me.:unsuresweetie:

Still a well written story.

The implication is that Twilight really wants to be a mother and raise her child as opposed to her current life as the main element if harmony and princess.

So er, how old is Twilight in this story? Scootaloo is likely around 10ish in the series, given context clues, so is she like 30 here?

I know I'm probably reading too much into it, but was Scoots a teenaged pregnancy?

Odd, I thought that Scootaloo lived in a normal house ("Flight to the Finish").

DEATH OF THE AUTHOR HAS SET IN! Soarin is the baby daddy!

It's part of my head canon that Twilight has a thing for yellow/orange coated pegasus stallions, hence her crush on Flash, also explaining how Scoots came out the way she is.

6695427 You actually never see Scootaloo's parents not is it ever explained. (yet at least) Still plenty of room for Scootadopt stories. I tend to shy away from the Scootabuse ones though.

A simple life.
A happy life.

I really wish i have...

I really wanna sequel where Scootaloo finds out Twilight is her mother.

Nonsense. We all know that Fluttershy is Scoots' mother. :trixieshiftright:

Good story, definitely not what I was expecting. It's doesn't fit canon, but you blow past that with excellent characterizations. I like how, despite focusing on Twilight, you kept the CMC distinct and enjoyable. Full marks to you.

Wow the end caught me off guard.
At first I thought this was about Twilight wanting to be a teacher or have a foal of her own.
And them that letter makes it's appearance... :pinkiesad2:
Nice work.

Thank you! I'm always worried that my characterization won't come off well, but that compliment is wonderful motivation. So thank you! :scootangel:

(GEEZ WAS THIS SAD!)
(Must not cry in real life, must not cry...
Failed, I'm crying on the inside.)

Lovely story.

I feel it works, possibly even better, without the twist at the end.

Solid characterization, and feels like something I could definitely see Twilight getting lost in for multiple reasons.

I felt that I needed that twist to be a part of the story. If I felt I could do more of this style, I would have taken a lot more time to drop indicators and such and let Twilight's relationship with the younguns, especially Scootaloo, before finally revealing it.

But that would be a longer story. So I left it as is. :)

And thanks! The characterization is what I'm most proud of with this one. :twilightsmile:
