I have been known to write smol horse words on occasion.

Scootaloo is refusing to go home. She's flinching at things that shouldn't scare her. She's refusing to talk about her parents.

Rainbow has to figure out what's wrong with her little sister, and how much of her idyllic sounding childhood she had made up.


Starts a little before Season 4's finale.

A very heart-warming scootalo story, nice job!

Aw, poor Scootaloo :fluttershysad: I hope Rainbow Dash can help her.

Sounds like we're looking at the typical abusive parents here. :fluttershysad:

Fear not, I would never lest best pon stay suffering. :scootangel:

I have a feeling her family abuses her.

Well, I think it's fine, I especially like the alliteration you did with "purple pony princess" at first. If I had to say something, maybe that Rainbow pushing Twilight out like that is a bit out of character, but honestly it's something I could see her doing. But I still enjoyed this chapter.

10201844
Wow. You're fast.

But thanks for the feedback. I'll probably give this another look over tomorrow and see about maybe changing it.

10201846
No problem. As for why I responded so quickly, I put all incomplete stories on one of my two Tracking lists, so I get a notification when there's an unread chapter. I'm also a fast reader. :twilightsheepish:

10201851
Well, I mean that's sound logic right there.

That's a very solid cloud there, if the dish broke when it fell on it.

The chapter seems fine enough to me. Though I think it would be hard not to notice if her ribs were showing before yesterday.

10202143
Yeah that's kinda an off plot point. I figured if it was pretty much anybody else, they'd have noticed earlier, but with Rainbow, she was really only hanging with Scoots for flight lessons, so she probably wouldn't pay too much attention to that.

10201988
I feel like the rules of clouds in the show have always been off. The few times we've seen inside Rainbow's home, there's been a ton of items that make no sense there, not falling through clouds. I mean didn't she even have a bust of Spitfire once?

I kinda picture that they can super condense clouds so they act like straight solids, and that's how (1), they got a runway on the clouds in Wonderbolt Academy, and (2) Rainbow condensed the clouds enough to act as a springboard later in the episode.

something something pegasus magic.

10202612 But wouldn't somepony else notice? Like maybe Cheerilee?

10202645
You know, I honestly didn't even consider Cheerilee :twilightblush:

I think I'll give the story another read and maybe edit that out because that's a really good argument.

If Scootaloo's dad really beat her to the point where she was bleeding, how did she manage to recover without leaving a trail or patching up her wounds? I'm assuming he killed his wife or did something to keep her from leaving with Scootaloo, but I find it odd that this somehow never caught the attention of the local authorities.

10202848
The way I pictured it was more bruises. Y'know, blunt force trauma and all. He didn't use any sharp implements, just his hoof. Unless you're referring to that bit at the end, in which case, yes, there was blood dripping out in the room, but when she made it out of the house most of the blood had dried to her fur.

I'll go over the first aid portion in the next chapter, but no, he didn't kill his wife.

On a side note, does Ponyville even have police? I don't think I've ever seen them in the show, save the royal guard. Usually the Main 6 take care of shit. I mean, you didn't see any authorities fighting the bugbear.

10202865 But it feels like somepony would've seen or heard something and reported to a channel of authority. There is at least the mayor, who could at least request an investigation.

10202867
I suppose I could have been clearer on this.

The bruises were hiding behind the disguise of scooter crashes. I'll add a little more detail and try and make that clearer.

The blood? Well that was just the one time. And she left under the cover of moonlight so she didn't actually get caught.

Now the injuries are definitely gonna be noted, and there is a legal shitstorm about to hit her parents, but Scootaloo has been trying to hide this stuff for so long that ponies aren't surprised to find her dinged up randomly. Especially after all the times they've seen her daredevil around town in the scooter.

I'm gonna kill her dad too. Poor Scoot :fluttershysad:

10202959
Poor girl deserves the world and got dealt a shitty hand. But things will look up for her.

I think you write cute scenes very well. A little Scootalove goes a long way.

10203577
Thank you very much. Much more scootalove coming :scootangel:

10203600
No problem. And I can't wait.

Why was this rated M for a bit, unless I am thinking of a different story? Also, AMAZING story so far

10206554
It was. Since there was some sexual references, I was unsure of what to rate it. I went with my gut response, and it said rate it M. Then I actually asked somebody (who I think was site staff, don't quite remember) and he said a T rating was fine.

10206554
Thank you so much!

10206840
Welcome, and ok, thanks for explaining

Daw...Scootalove for the poor thing. :fluttershysad::heart: But I want to know if Rainbow's hair really is dyed. AB got the idea in my head! I know it said rainbows taste spicy in Sonic Rainboom so I won't hold out for that.

10206991
That's one of the most closely guarded secrets in Equestria. You don't want to go down that rabbit hole. It leads to a long story of treachery, murder, and heartbreak.

10206973
Hey no problem bro. It wasn't my brightest moment in retrospect :applejackconfused:

10207002
Okay....? Anyway, is Scoots gonna tell her friends? I get the whole 'not telling kids because they might not be able to handle it' aspect but they need to know so they can make sure Scoots is okay.

10207018
I was joking with the hair thing. Yes, Scootaloo is eventually going to tell her friends. I mean, you get dropped off every day for school by Rainbow Dash they're gonna figure something's going on. That'll probably be touched upon in Chapter 12.

10207022
Ah, I see. I like your story so far, especially the cuddly bits between Dashie and Scoots.

10207040
Thank you. I was pretty worried about those because I've never tried writing fluff before, and honestly, with all the Scootadoption fics out there, I'm just trying to find a good balance cause cute as it is, some of them go overboard :applejackconfused:

10207059
I think you have a pretty good balance, it's set in what I figure are all the right places.

10207060
Well thanks for your kind words.

So, did Scootaloo's dad try to rape her?! :twilightoops:

10207334 Well even if it's not mentioned directly, I kind of feel like that should bump the rating up to Mature.

10207578
Yeah, you're right. I talked it over with couple others and decided to take that whole plotline out. Poor Scoots doesn't deserve that and I'm really not a fan of writing M rated stories.

10207319
I ended up taking that out. No more violated chicken.

Can't wait to see what happens next, the fluff was adorable. :twilightsmile:

10208755
Thanks! Honestly this was going to be the chapter when they deal with going back to school, but the image of Scootaloo annoying Dash awake with her snoring, and Dash's mental view of it was too entertaining to me to not capitalize on.
