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!"
...
"So how long have you known, kid?" Nopony sighed.
"...Are you kidding? I mean, I've practically done everything but say it out loud to make it clear I knew you were Celestia!" Scootaloo complained.
"Well yeah, but I thought the unspoken rule was we weren't going to acknowledge that."
"It doesn't really matter now that you're leaving, does it?"
"Yes, but I was gonna say 'How did you know?' and you would explain how you recently figured it out, and-"
"Wait, so the unspoken rule was you pretending that I didn't know?! That is retarded."
"You're retarded!"
"YEAH WELL YOU'RE PRINCESS CELESTIA!"
Nopony covered his ears and yelled in a singsong tone, "I DIDN'T HEAR THAT~ I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING~"
"CELESTIA! TRASHLESTIA! HOBOLESTIA! GARBAGE SWAN!" Scootaloo screamed back.
"I'M GONNA BUY A HOUSE, IDIOT! AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO'S THE GARBAGE COVERED HOBO!!"
"FINE! BUY YOUR HOUSE, I DON'T NEED YOU!!"
"I WAS GONNA BUY YOU A HOUSE, GIMP CHICKEN!!"
"THEN DO IT, LOSER!!"
"Wow, this is a really nice house." Scootaloo smiled as she looked around.
Nice. That was really nice.
These always manage to make me giggle.
This... Feels like the more appropriate ending at this point.
Pffft hahahahahaha.
Much better than marshmallow dinosaurs
This whole fic is full of such love and glorious "Uh...what just happened?"
With this fic both of these chapters are cannon with it.
Another excellent addition mu good man
Well, that was full of win and nonsense.
I like.
"...and thanks for all the nonsense" indeed.
You seriously repeated an actual chapter of this story as another extra chapter, added drama, and then added a line from the next chapter... or something. Instead of seeing this as a summary for the ending; it was a dramatic reboot to the ending.
I lost it here.
Garbage Swan gets me every time.
--Spade
Fu
ckdge nuggets That endingand the complete insanity continues good job and keep em comin
I'm keeping Garbage swan
This is as canon as half of the chapters since the previous finale.
In the original chapters before 'So long, and thanks for all the nonsense', Scootaloo skirted around the edges of officially recognising that Celestia was Nopony. In the more recent chapters, she clearly learned to fly over that edge but claimed that she hadn't actually gone over it so long as she didn't touch ground.
<.< >.> <.<
I love it.
I read that as horse for a second
7418949 I thought it said horse, I only realised it said house because you pointed it out. That line confused me
7418649 where? I need links. Lol
Garbage Swan? I like it.
More insults?
Birdstain, Craplestia, Pinklestia, HoboSwan, Hobobird, DodoLestia.
I totally see Celestia slumming so long she goes full on Hobo. Riding the rails, reading trail sign. Looking for sugar mountain. Her sister searching for her and nipping at her heels.
So is this more an alternate take on that last day in the box?
I rather like how there's the option of neither of them being canon...
"Scrotumdurr."
I want to upvote this again.
I felel like I've already read this. I had to do a double take to see if this was the newest one. But I can't even tell if it has already been read. So the world may never know
I absolutely fell in love with this story. It's a perfect example of how all you need to make a fun and addictive tale is 2 characters, an unusual setting, and some serious comedic wit.

Don't worry about it. I stopped two times during pre-reading to make sure I was on the right chapter.
Pickleless, you never disappoint.
And the second alternate ending is directed by Michael Bay!
This story is just so much fun! I love it! I love it alot!
The Re-Homing of Scootaloo: Home Harder
Super cute by the way. Which goes without saying but if we're all ignoring the unspoken rules then I may as well, too.
Hahahahaha. Oh god this fic, every time.

Garbage Swan is possibly the best nickname ever I love it~
Wait, is dis an alternate universe
8361657
This is clearly canon. No one can say otherwise.

Yes. This is what really went down that fateful day........
Of all the interpretations of Celestia I've seen, this is easily my favorite. But I have one question left: why the hell did I wait so long to start reading this?
somehow this makes more sense then random nice suprise to petty payback mixed with oh buck i bought ths kid a house
This is incredible
