Runaway Colt
It was a slightly cold night in Canterlot and a certain purple unicorn was making her way home, “Ugh, why did I stay at the library that long!” her name was Twilight Sparkle, the personal student of Princess Celestia.
“Hey, Twilight!” A blue unicorn waved
“Hi.” Twilight barely acknowledged the pony she rarely ever socialized even when she did she always had her nose in a book. “Why do ponies always want to be friends?” She mumbled under her breath. “Friendship is just silly as if trying to meet as many ponies as you can do as much for you as research.”
As Twilight walked past an ally stopping when she heard something that sounded like a sneeze “*achoo*”
“Huh?” Twilight turned towards the sound to see a small foal with an orange coat and a pinkish purple mane rubbing its nose, “Hello?” She said surprised.
“Ah, oh, Hi.” The foal replied trying to hide.
“It’s okay I’m not going to hurt you,” Twilight said with a soft tone.
The foal looked up looking a bit more relaxed.
“What are you doing here? Where are your parents?“ Twilight asked approaching the foal, being closer she could see the foal was pegasus colt probably about five years old.
“Well they-“ the colt tried before tears started welling up in his eyes, “Th-they, ah, ahh, WAAAAAAAA!” he wailed burying his face in his hooves.
The young mare’s eyes widened at the colt’s sudden outburst, “Why is he crying? Did his parents abandon him or are they-” she thought before realized she had to do something, but first, a question that had slipped her mind, “What’s your name?”
“S-s-skate-er-r-l-loo.” The colt managed to say between sobs.
“Skaterloo?” Twilight asked Skaterloo nodded shakily, “Ok then Skaterloo, It’s getting late and cold so do you want to come home with me?” Twilight asked in a comforting manner.
The colt suddenly embraced the older pony’s leg still crying a bit, “I-I’m sorry I just.” Skaterloo stuttered realizing he hugged a stranger.
“I-it’s okay. Let’s just get it going.” Twilight said levitating the colt on to her back.
“Thank you, Miss Unicorn.” The young colt said.
“My name is Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight turned her head to the colt.
While Twilight walked through the city the young colt on her back glanced around, it confused the unicorn a little bit the colt looked like he hadn’t seen Canterlot before.
Eventually, Skaterloo realized the unicorn was approaching the castle, “Why are you going to the castle?”
“I live in a castle tower,” Twilight said.
“Really?” Skaterloo asked amazed.
“Yep!” Twilight nodded.
The mare kept walking eventually finding her tower, “And here we are!” Twilight said.
As the purple unicorn opened the door and entered the darkened tower, Skaterloo was able to see shelves of books and a large hourglass in the middle of the room, “This is your home?”
“Yes it is, I’ve lived here since I was 16 so about two years now.” Twilight nodded. The purple mare walked up to a bed lighting her horn and levitating the colt on to the bed and covering him with the blanket. “Here you can sleep here tonight. I’ll sleep over there.” Twilight pointed to a couch, “If you need anything just come and get me.”
“Ok, Miss Twilight,” Skaterloo said lying down closing his eyes.
Twilight smiled and turned around walking towards her sleeping place for the night looking back to the colt, “I really hope he just got separated from his parents.” the young mare thought to try to reassure herself, although feeling sure that the colt didn’t have parents. Twilight sighed, “I’m kidding myself, tomorrow I’ll have to write to the Princess and find where Skaterloo came from.”
The purple mare lied down and began to drift off.
The Next Day
A purple baby dragon woke up stretching he got out of his small bed that was more of a dog bed he saw what looked like a pony lying down in Twilight’s bed, “Guess Twi’s still asleep, that just means I have some time for myseeelf-“ the dragon trailed off when he saw the purple unicorn lying down on the couch reading as usual .
Looking up from her book Twilight saw her assistant, “Morning Spike!” Spike just looked shocked, “Spike what’s wrong you look like you saw a ghost.”
“T-twilight I-I saw Somepony in your bed. It could be an intruder.” Spike whispered.
Twilight’s eyes widened at first before realizing who the young dragon saw, “Spike did you see the pony at all how big were they?”
“Well no I didn’t see them. But now that you ask I didn’t really notice until now but they did seem pretty small. Wait! How do you know it’s a pony?” Spike asked confused
Twilight was going to explain but was stopped by Skaterloo approaching, “Sleep well?” The unicorn asked.
“Yes, thank you Miss Twilight,” Skaterloo said rubbing his eyes.
“W-what! y-you know him!?” Spike asked
“Yes his name is Skaterloo, I found him hiding in an alley last night.” Twilight explained. Spike nodded in understanding.
“Well, we should find his family whoever or wherever they are they’re probably worried sick,” Spike said.
Hearing this Skaterloo started shaking obviously trying not to cry, he sniffled a few times, “They would be if I had any left.” He said quietly under his breath.
“Huh did you say something.” Spike turned around facing the orange colt.
Skaterloo looked up seeing Spike had had a look of curiosity. He was going to say he was just breathing but then he was Twilight’s face was written with concern.
“Y-you don’t have a family Skaterloo?” The unicorn asked small tears in her eyes.
“Wh-what you don’t?” Spike said looking from Twilight than back to the orange colt.
Skaterloo tried to say something but it came out as incoherent gurgled mumbles so he just shook his head.
“I thought he might be orphan.” Twilight sadly thought she couldn’t imagine what she would do if she didn’t have her mom, dad and older brother, “Well then I guess we have to get you back to the orphanage.”
“N-NO I don’t want to go back!” Skaterloo almost shouted.
“But-“ Twilight tried but the colt wasn’t done.
“All the fillies and colts do nothing but bully me they say I’ll never be adopted because no family will want me! and the caretakers don’t do anything about it!” Skaterloo said before breaking down.
Twilight felt some tears roll down her cheeks, she reached a hoof out and rubbed the younger pony’s cheek with it. It both soothed the colt but also brought up memories of the last of his family he knew his Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty the two of them passed when he was three and he ended up in the Ponyville orphanage he couldn’t tell Twilight that he came from there he couldn’t go back nopony even cared about him there.
“Shhh it’s ok, I know it’ll be hard but I should really get you home,” Twilight said pulling the colt a little closer.
“B-*sinff*but-“ Skaterloo sniffled.
“And I promise I’ll talk with the caretakers about the fillies and colts.” The unicorn reassured him.
After calming down the colt Twilight decided it was time, “Ok it’s time to get you back to the orphanage.” she said levitating the colt on to her back.
The colt sniffed, “Ok.”
Twilight with Skaterloo on her back made her way out of her tower, Spike stayed behind in the tower.
After walking for about seven minutes Twilight could see the orphanage, “I hope they find you a good home.” The unicorn turned to the colt.
Skaterloo nodded although smiling a little bit knowing this wasn’t the orphanage he ran away from.
After entering the building Twilight was greeted by a mare with a sapphire coat and ruby mane, “Welcome to Canterlot orphanage. I’m Shining Gemstone, How can I help you?” The mare asked.
“Well I think I found a foal from here last night,” Twilight said levitating the colt off of her back.
The older mare in front of her just got confused, “Well that can’t be the case all foals the were here last night.”
“Wh-what!?” Twilight stepped back, “Then where did he came from this is the only orphanage in Canterlot.”
“Maybe you can look into any missing foal reports.” Gemstone suggested.
“B-but that could take days!” Twilight stuttered.
“Well, you could adopt the dear, couldn’t you? You don’t necessarily have to know his orphanage.” Gemstone questioned.
“W-we’ll I’m 18 legally I could!” Twilight started. Skaterloo rose his head a bit at the unicorn’s statement but his hope fell once she finished, “B-but I don’t think I’m ready.”
Gemstone nodded, “Well then you should getting going to the police station they’ll help you find his home.”
Twilight closed her eyes and began to nod before opening them again realizing she knew somepony that might be better, “Actually I think I have a better idea.”
“Ok you seem trustworthy so I’ll leave the job of getting this colt home to you.” Gemstone nodded.
“Thank You, I promise I’ll get him home!” Twilight said turning around and leaving.
While she walked a bit quicker than before Twilight thought to herself, “So Skaterloo isn’t from Canterlot I guess that explains why he looked so curious last night. No matter I’ll just have Spike send a letter to the princess she’ll be able to help me find where Skaterloo came from.”
Skaterloo wondered who Twilight was talking about.

This stories got my attention and look good.
I like that story
Why call him Skaterloo?
8792238
Because
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/d/d0/360Wynaut.png/250px-360Wynaut.png
i be look at this one,
8792238
Clearly, he's going to use hoofskates, not a scooter.
I'll read this one when a few more chapters are out.
Well done you gained a follower
8792248
You mentioned possible shipping in later chapters. What will the ship be if you decide to add shipping?
8792356
I don’t know yet but ideas I had are
Twilight X Lyra Heartstrings
Twilight X Minuette
Twilight X Moondancer
Twilight X Rarity
Maybe: Twilight X Flash Sentry
And if I ship Skaterloo with someone it would be
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon
8792376
Anything but the last one!
8792382
Twilight X Flash Sentry or Skaterloo with Silver Spoon?
8792387
I think you know which one
derpicdn.net/img/2013/7/13/372550/full.jpg
8792399
Flashlight is my favourite straight ship with Twilight at least
I do like Rarilight and Twidancer a little bit more so It might be one of those or the other F/F ships I listed.
8792407
Ok. Just saying that if it turns out to be flash I will immediately stop reading. I'm sorry but that's just how I am.
I just hope there Skaterloo x Sweetie Belle, because that my favourite ship and I have a serious problem....
I'll still read this once two or three more chapters are out, I like giving every story a fair chance, well the ones that have good ideas behind them. I do like this idea, and I this might be a great story, so umm... Good luck on future chapters
It's an interesting concept. I can't wait to see where this story goes.
I feel like he is related to scootaloo
No it wasn’t I thaught they were diffrent
8794026
Well I hope you enjoyed the first chapter
I did and can’t wait for next chapter
I actually really hope you don'T skip trough the seasons, no matter how long it maybe takes, I want to see much from him and Twilight, I wouldn't like to feel like "half the season was skipped and suddenly they or Scaterloo has a bunch of friends and everything if you know what I mean.
I like to make sure/ask for the bonding moments and important events to be shown.
I know it'S probably easier that way, but I don't think it would hurt to think of different aunts/familly than some characters seems to have especially if it is a genderswapped version.
I mean I think those aunts are the aunts that they say Scootaloo seems to have right?, or some kind of fan thing.
I kind of shouldn't pick out the small things all the time, but I like it if I don't see the same thing being used over and over again sometimes. It is not that bad right now, I just can't stop myself from mentioning it sometimes.
I kind of hope Twilight being already an mother get's more than a bit of an reaction out of the main six, I don't think I actually saw it already that they made a special thing out of a young Mare like her having a child already. I could image them eihter being impressed, concerned,....forgot the third emotion somehow.
huh? I could swear I saw her being 16 at the beginning.
8792376
please not Flash Sentry, he did nothing wrong most of the time, but after talking with some people and knowing his personality was as developed as the one toilet paper seems to have and whatever you could say to him, I have to try really hard to give him a chance most of the time.
I would be also against Lyra, just because I see her to often I think, that and I would prefer a shipping with Bon Bon over Lyra, I just like her more and not even necessarily because of her agent job she has in some stories.
Minuette...I think I knew who that was, the one that is a dentist sometimes right?, somehow this is not bad but not interessting either.
Moondancer....well a recent story made me a bit more interessted in her so why not.
I can also image her with Rarity if you make her approach it right.
While I would also like Scootaloo to exist, i don't want it to be like "scootaloo x Skaterloo", I hate cloneshipping a bit.
I think for now the foals should stay foals/friends, maybe in a sequel there could be more.
If you would even create an OC for her, then I have to say that I never had a nervous or insecure colt aproaching the main char.
The only times I ever got that was when the main char itself was the shy and insecure one and made himself like the typicall idiot that mostly Main chars get to be.
I want something else instead of the splitting image of a perfect father/second mother.
Now three more random and probably ridiculous ideas
Mrs. Harswinney
Three Hugger.
Aloe/whats her name
edit: If you think you would write a sequel or a long story then maybe hold of the shippings for a while, build up a good friendship between possible shippings and focus on the mother son bonding first.
8792376
I think I would also like Skaterloo x Silverspoon if you can write her likeable, at the beginning she was one of my favourite foals.
Diamond would be alright too, but I think I see her to often in shippings at the moment with one of the crussaiders.
8792399
I agree.
8792407
Why actually? I mean if you like it then it's okay, but I think one of my reasons to hate it was that it felt so unnaturally for Twilight to fall in love with him for no reason and even if they have several species at home it was probably slightly strange to fall in love with a human so fast. I'm not sure about the last one, that thought came up just right now.
He was kind of a test dummy during the movie, I have to stop now or I'm going to talk about why they can still transform if Twilight isn't there and why it was suddenly only because of music or how many ways to transform they suddenly seems to get.
8792415
It is probably the same for me (I hate Flash somehow), I hardly consume just anything anyway, I have enough stories in which there is something that doesn't seems to work for me, be it because the author fails to explain it right and my imagination takes over, or because they use a bad idea.
8794189
For the edit
The shipping is still only a possibility a possibility I’m heavily leaning towards but still a possibility and don’t worry the story will focus more on Twilight and Skaterloo’s relationship than others
And sorry to say Scootaloo won’t exist in any other way but Skaterloo
I don’t know what shipping I’ll choose but if I were to order them from most likely to least likely it would be
(Twilight)
Twilight X Moondancer
Twilight X Flash Sentry (sorry)
Twilight X Lyra
Twilight X Minuette
Twilight X Rarity (might have them in another story)
(Skaterloo)
Skaterloo X Silver Spoon
Skaterloo X Diamond Tiara
Skaterloo X Sweetie Belle
Skaterloo X Apple Bloom
8794300
Well okay, like I said I don't really see the appeal with Lyra and Flash but I wait it out for now. I'm just saying your writing skilld would have to make up for it if you should use Flash, otherwise I can't image to be to happy with it.
I suggest to give him at least a different personality, which should be easy since I really don't remember him having one.
For the CMC shippings, I'm okay with that, but I like it that you not exactly planning it right now and want to focus on the bonding between him and Twilight.
8794189
You mentioned the main 6 in your comment speaking of that I was thinking of using the Twilight’s Canterlot friends or the Canterlot Six as they’ve been called. Though I may still use the main 6, don’t know yet but I’m kind of leaning towards the former
8797980
sorry but tonight it seems I'm not quite understanding what you mean right now.
Was this still about the shippings that might happen later?, or that you wanted to include the Canterlot? six in the story?.
Right now it doesn't looks like the worst thing to do I guess, ahh to tired for a long answer.
8798168
Sorry I could have worded that better
I mean I could use the Canterlot six as the elements of harmony instead of the main six
8798215
Okay thank you I start to understand it better and I took a better look at my last comment.
Well that sounds good and uhm was that about me wanting several reactions from the main six about Twilight havingt a child?
It probably would have helped if you would have put the part you was commenting on in the
.
If you actually meant to let this play out in the other world, that is fine too. I'm tired now and that isn't helping me right now, good night for now.
Stranger danger - run Scaterloo!
10379041
Yeah in hindsight it was a little off of a way to have Twi find him
