So long, and Thanks for all the Nonsense.
Nopony awoke.
"Mmm..." he growled, reaching out for Scootaloo.
After finding his small orange chicken, he wrapped her in a hug and went back to snoozing.
"Hey!" Scootaloo whined.
"Mmm?" Nopony mumbled.
"I was doing something over here, lemme go!"
"Doing something?... Kid, there's a full blown hurricane out there, stay inside the box."
"Yeah, I know! Rainbow's doing her super special secret stunts in the thunder!" Scootaloo squee'd.
"Really." Nopony said in a flat tone as he adjusted himself.
Nopony held a wing over Scootaloo to keep her dry. Of course, he was getting soaked, but his... special constitution made the rain nothing to him. It was still a little annoying, but he could live with that.
"Where is she?" Nopony squinted at the storm.
"Right up there!" Scootaloo pointed. "Wanna borrow my binoculars?"
"Where did you find those?"
"Well, it was a rainy day and I was super hungry, hadn't eaten since yesterday morning. I was grumbling to myself when I found five bits on the ground!"
"...You bought binoculars."
"Rainbow Dash ain't gonna watch herself!"
Nopony sighed, "kid, knowing her, I think she's found a way to do that."
"Shhh! She's starting to do tricks again."
The two quietly sat in the rain together.
"Hey kid, what's your favorite thing to do?" Nopony spoke up.
"Hmm..." Scootaloo scratched her chin, "I don't know! I really love playing around on my scooter, but, I like hanging out with my friends more I think."
"Hey, nothing wrong with that." Nopony smiled.
"Well, getting a new friend recently made life a lot more awesome, you know?"
Nopony chuckled as Scootaloo snuggled in closer to him.
"It's a shame you're such a loser." Scootaloo murmured.
"Woah, what?" Nopony frowned at her. "Where did that come from?"
"Well, I'm your only friend right? Besides your sister!" Scootaloo grinned.
"Yeah, guess you're right kid." Nopony stretched.
Scootaloo watched as Nopony released a powerful, loud yawn. She moved out of the way as he rose to his hooves and trotted out of the box.
"Well kid, it's been real, but I think it's time for me to hit the dusty ol' trail." Nopony said.
"What?" Scootaloo blinked. "H- hey, wait!"
"Hmm?" Nopony turned back.
"Is this because I called you a loser?" Scootaloo started to shake. "I- I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean it, please don't leave!"
Nopony sighed.
"Kid... Look, I had to leave today no matter what, okay? You didn't do anything wrong, I just gotta get back to my job now."
"Please don't leave..." Scootaloo whispered.
"Come on kid, don't make this hard."
"Please don't leave your majesty!"
...
"Well..." Nopony wrapped himself in a golden aura. "No point in hiding it huh?"
One second there was Nopony, the next, Celestia.
"Please don't leave me Princess..." Scootaloo squeezed her leg.
"Scootaloo, look at me." A royal voice said gently.
After sniffling a couple more times, Scootaloo shyly peaked up at her.
"Just because I'm not always here, doesn't mean we're not friends."
"That's just a nice way of saying you're leaving and not coming back!"
"Scootaloo..." Celestia frowned.
...
"Scootaloo, it's time for me to go."
Celestia gently picked up her up, and sat her down inside the box.
"We'll meet again. Goodbye, my little-"
"I was right." Scootaloo cut her off.
Celestia stopped, confused.
"You do seem nice at first, and then end up being really disappointing!"
...
Celestia said nothing as she teleported away.

Poor Scootaloo! She just lost a good friend I hope Celestia will be delivering a very strong message to the mane 6 about not taking care of Scootaloo.
For a second there, I thought this was gonna turn into a scoot-a-dopt... Not sure how to feel on how it turned out.
God... Children seem to see the world for what it is a lot better than most adults I know... It's strange really.
So you're just going to leave a filly living in a box?
Nice, Celestia.
NOOOO! My feels! My God, my feels! What have you done to my feels?!
The "incomplete" is still here, so there'll be going to be more nonsense, right?
6582785 Mostly because they don't have anything to lose yet.
UPDATE! FASTER! FASTER!
That was... a really short year.
...And now I'm sad.
The way you wrote this is wrong. It should either be:
Since it looks like they talk about more than one thing due to multiple chapters, option A is correct.
6583071 technically, it could be correct. 'This' being the story as a whole. You would say 'this is a list of problems', so this is a similar situation. Except the noun isn't stated.
6583071
6583102
Regardless, fixed. Thanks.
6583102
No, it can't. The tenses don't match up.
No, this is not a similar situation.
6583109 No problemo.
This is literally the only story where I have shed genuine man tears. Well done, author, well done.
6582786 Celestia has to be careful, the previous decade where she slept in a box for a year and took an adorable homeless filly back with her to the castle is probably how she got Sunset Shimmer.
Children are pretty good judges of character, aren't they?
… Or was it dogs? Or both? Or just puppies?
Is this it? Please tell me this isn't it. (as of now the story is still labelled "incomplete"). I want to see more of Celestia and Scootaloo in a box talking about random profound stuff.
This story is brilliant in its simplicity.
6583542
I always thought it was just life.
6583145 Actually, it can. It's highly irregular, but plural words can sometimes be used as singulars[Or technically, singulars with plural construction]. For example, 'agenda' (things to be done) is usually treated as singular, but it's actually the plural of agendum(thing to be done). Media is likewise plural of medium(means of storing or communicating information). The implication is that the plurality is taken to be a singular 'whole'.
I'd strongly advise against using nonstandard examples in prose though. Save it for when you're being poetic or otherwise imparting special meaning (such as special emphasis or irony).
If my heart was still beating, this would have stopped it(again).
Just... Just ow.
Looks like Nopony just stepped on some abandonment issues.
I don't think she's wrong in that regard, Scootaloo I mean.
wai celestia wai u do dis, wai i mak her cri
Celestia is the weirdest hobo ever. Also, this is kind of depressing.
HnnnnnnnG!
Oh, whoops, commented on the wrong chapter...
Anyone else catch the hitchhikers reference?
I want to know how she figured out that Nopony was Celestia.
6756869 Seconded.
Celestia, I think Scootaloo has something to say to you!
Just add the word you to that, and you get Scootaloo's feelings about the situation!
6582708
Yeah, because obviously they're to blame for everything bad happening to her.
Just picked her up, right?

One more to go.
6586234 Your profile picture fits perfectly with your comment.
...This was supposed to be a funny story!
6583319 ...This is now my headcanon
That happened fast O-O
A whole year, like bam.
7200007 Oatmeal with dinosaur marshmallows... cruuud.
Hey Scoots, not that your feelings are invalid or anything, but she can't run a country from a box in an alley. Well she could, but it'd be really inconvenient for all involved.
That burn though.
Marshmallow dinosaurs.
Hope this has a nice conclusion...
...also, Scootaloo is much smarter than most give her credit for...
7222028
Well, I mean, she might not have to deal with the nobles if she's in a dirty alley...
That wasn't a "go for it", Celestia.
Damnit these feels hit too strong!
Yep. Scootaloo was right.
