While she may not be able to fly yet, there's no denying Scootaloo is the fastest filly on four wheels. A fact that's she very proud of, and a title she longs for a chance to show off to ponies besides her friends, and fellow Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Her chance comes when she sees a flyer for the annual Ponyville Roller Derby, and decides that this year she's finally going to enter. She's sure to win first place, and the prize money is a rocking 1,000 bits!
There's just one problem, Scootaloo needs permission from an adult to enter the derby. And when the tomboyish pegasus can't get ANY of the grownups in her life to say "Yes", she decides there's only one thing left to do. But is it a decision she's going to regret? And what will her friends have to say about it when they find out?
While I have to admit Scootaloo at least had good intentions, there were definitely better ways she could have gone about this. Not a bad story really, and with a good moral. Also, trying not to give you a large ego here, but this does feel like an actual episode of the show.
Also, Dizzy? Pretty sure there are other sports that don't count as dangerous besides Ping-Pong. Pretty sure Chess is qualified as a sport nowadays.
8456208 That was my intent. To write a story in which Scootaloo was in the wrong, but her motivations were understandable.
Nice story. For Scoots, it was for a good cause but still, she should have accepted it. Diamond, next time, stop with such jokes
You know, it would have been better if Scoots' mom had just said yes instead of no in the first place.
I know how Diamond Tiara can REALLY upset her mom.
