Scootaloo has never touched the sky
Diamond is losing the ability to fly
They laugh, cry, and wonder why
Those nights on Horlick's Hill

Just a place to stick all my dialog practice between my OC and Scootaloo. No actual story here, just two dumb kids, talking about everything and nothing on a hill in the middle of warm summer nights. Sometimes Funny. Sometimes Sad.

Each night is its own separate little conversation. There's no real thread holding these together, Just a bunch of random conversations that really don't lead anywhere. So, seriously, don't expect much out of this.
Or anything at all.

Something I tend to work on late at night, when I can't sleep. This way I don't keep clogging my blog with these dialogs. They're all 3 am Rarity shorts.
Will be updated periodically.

Yay!! I've been looking forward to seeing these stories!

And now I've got the Feels:rainbowkiss:

*snif*cough*

Not crying...too much lovely...don't cry...:raritycry:

That was...just...precious!

Pretty poem. Really captures Diamond's feelings for Luna.

SoL sounds interesting. I like Scoots' and Diamond's sisterly dynamic.

Awww!! I've always thought of them as sister, at least in spirit, and now it's true! I know Scoots will most certainly help Diamond find her parents, and the two of them will always have each other, no matter what they go through!

Aw, poor Scoots. Glad Diamond cheered her up.

"She promised she'd make the trip to come see me if I got all A's on my report card this semester, D. She promised. Where is she? Huh?! Where is she?! She's not here! I don't see her! I did it. I worked my tail off but I did it and she isn't here! She couldn't even write me a lousy letter?! What's it supposed to take?! WHAT?! Scootaloo barked into the night.

That promise is disturbing. A parents presence should never be contingent on a child's school performance. Even if a child has been naughty and been sent to the corner or their room the parent should still be available.

But Scoots' parents really are that bad.

Poor Diamond. Scoots is a good friend.

Diamond's a nice mix of vulnerable, but tough.

She could use the star to wish her aunts don't punish her.

That was so heart wrenching! I just ached for both of them. I thought of friends I'd had to leave and remembered how much it hurt.

I hope they don't ever forget their friendship. I hope there is a better ending than mine were.

Well done, Rarity. You made all this seem so real and raw and I could feel their conflict and pain. You really brought out all those emotions!

Will Diamond ever meet her mother? Or...is her mom no longer with us?

This was funny.

Pony Jesus...was he turned to glue for Equestria's sins?

(I'd go to Hell if there were one).

Beautifully written, as always, dear Lady! You made Diamonds' anguish at her loss so very heartbreaking. And her joy at being reunited with her best friend was expressed with all the joy of coming in from a long, cold night into the warm embrace (literally!) of perfect friendship! Well done, Rarity!

Days had passed since Diamond had peered up at the stars. Weeks had passed since she'd made any wishes. A month passed by since she visited the hill. There really wasn't any point. It had started as an excuse for Diamond to steal a break from the evenings demands and feed her obsession with starts, but once Scootaloo had started joining her, it had become an excuse for Diamond to hang out with her best friend. Her only real friend. Now she had no excuse at all to journey towards the hill late at night. She could look at stars anywhere she wanted during the evening. The hill was no longer special and the magic had all been drained away. Still, once again, Diamond found herself trudging along the dirt path towards Horlick's Hill. It was habit, she was certain, almost as certain as the dull ache that throbbed miserably inside of her.

*Obsession with stars?

Awww, this was sweet! Diamond's anguish was painful and I loved the reunion.

Scoots and Diamond are definitely the best of friends. Only best friends can talk to you about any idea you come up with and care enough to talk you out of it. But you know they always have your back!

I'm glad you're writing again and write about my favorite filly, Diamond!

That was nice. Went from insanely hilarious to serious to heartwarming. Loving Scoot's support of Diamond.

I have a good idea what Scoots is planning and I hope so much that Silver likes Diamond, too and isn't mean to her. Diamond deserves someone nice and 'Cause Scoots will probably lose her in the Everfree if she isn't.

you´re a genius, my dude.
<3!!!!

" WELL!? " she screamed, hoarsely, her voice carrying into the far reaches of the night and echoing into nothingness. Had there been any answer to offer, Diamond would have happily piped in, but she was silent in her observation, unable to do anything but watch the rage bubble to the surface and spill over into frothing despair. Scootaloo had picked up another rock and hurled it as hard as she could into the air, watching it sail miserably into a grassy hillside where it vanished. Her anger did not travel with it.

Good job ;)
I've loved your manage words

"You're kind of an awesome friend, you know that, Scoots?" Diamond sputtered, her voice slurred. Scootaloo could only assume she was coming up to the end of her resistance to sleep, if there was such a thing.

"Only cause you give me the chance to be one," She smiled, tugging Diamond along towards her scooter.

Awwww. <3!!!!

There was a warmth to the breeze that night, the sort of warmth that felt like a cozy hug and beset long lasting memories of summer sweetness. It always seemed warm up on the hill, even under the chilly gaze of the overbearing moon. A bright moon with bright stars that seemed to shine specifically down onto Horlick's Hill where Scootaloo parked her scooter.

Ufff!!!!

It was peaceful, up on the hill. The swirl of the universe and all its quiet splendor danced above Scootaloo's head in a silent twirl of majesty. Stars, galaxies, moons and planets colored the night sky, and sitting upon Horlick's Hill, taking it all in, Scootaloo felt like it was all for her. Like the sky was putting on a show for an audience of one. She felt insignificant, but almost in a good way. Like everything above her was fighting for her attention. Like the universe itself was trying to cram in as much ornate magnificence into her attention span as possible, each planet, each star and every inch of the night sky, competing for her attention all at once. Of course, it was all too much for her to take in, but sitting up on that hill, she could see where Night Ponies found their devotion to the darkness.

Oh, my dude, I love your way of starting the chapters, your way of poetizing it
<3!!!!

"I'm gonna kick you'se in the cutie mark,"

what a good insult!!! jaja.

"Every time a pony lies a fairy drops down dead, Diamond,"

"Then I regret to inform you'se, I am a serial killer,"

"Do you revel in being a mass murderer? Does that make you feel good?"

jajaja
How i love you ; how i love them!!!!
<3

"Yeah! We're sisters D! In all the ways that count! We're sisters in suffering, sisters in struggle and sisters in solace. Ground-bound pegasi that can't fly. Who else in town has those issues? Nopony that I know, so we gotta stick together! I figure if Bardigan can adopt you, and Rainbow can adopt me, then we can adopt each other. " Scootaloo chirped grinning warmly at the delighted smile that spread across Diamond's muzzle.

As daughters of their suffering mother, they've solace as a father.

"Hey," she cooed, but immediately returned her focus towards the quill in her muzzle and the paper held in her hooves. Scootaloo smiled quietly, wiggling her hips before she leaped up onto the lowest branch she could reach. Honestly, it seemed like the lone tree atop Horlick's Hill was made for climbing. Perfect for ground-bound pegasi with an ache for the sky. Nimbly, Scootaloo made her way up the tree, branch after branch, until she could go no higher, and sat just underneath the branch where Diamond was sitting, scribbling furiously at the parchment she was holding.

So lovely <3 jaja.

"Sooooooo, did our parents, know we'd like that stuff and that's why they named us that way, or, or, ooooor do we like that stuff because we were named after those things?! Think about it, Scootaloo! Lyra is good with a Lyre, right?! And, like, Bon-Bon makes candy, right? You'se ever think that maybe we're jus' products of our environment, or like, like maybe our destinies are predetermined by our Cutie-marks?"

"Pffft, jus you wait. There's a naming conspiracy out there Scoots! I'm sure of it! Big Sister is watchin' us! They're controlling' our thoughts with Cute-ceañera's and makin' us into robots Scootaloo!!" Diamond squealed.

Jajaja, nice!

"Yeah! That's it! Firefly said they was illusions! See, when I stop, and my contrail catches up to me, the light bounces offa the reflective properties in my silver coat! Ain't that neat?! I can leave as many as I want, but they don't move or nothin," Diamond explained, reaching out to tap one of the Diamonds on the shoulder. Immediately it exploded into sparkles, tumbling down into nothingness while Scootaloo stood there, wide-eyed. Wide-eyed and relieved. Ohthankyousweetponyjesus Ok. So they weren't 'real' clones. That was good. That was very good. That was very very good. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and her shoulders slumped.

jajaja

The unprecedented magnificence of the stars demanded all but every last inch of Scootaloo's attention, prying her gaze relentlessly from one gleaming, shimmering jewel to another. Each was brighter than the last and each seemed to sing to her, to call to her, summoning her gaze across a vast, empty ocean of endless black, where the distant beacon of glimmering light pulled her in, only to be wrenched away by another distant shine, and again and again and again. A dazzling beauty she didn't dare try to describe burst before her in captivating ornate splendor, unopposed by anything else the universe had to offe-

Speachless <3
