i hope this won't backfire on you.

It always sucks if kids are affected by such stuff they have their lives yet ahead of them

can't wait for the next update

I love stories like these!Can't wait for more chapters

An interesting story, I hope to see more of it!

did not expect that update. So it progresses...:fluttershyouch: Also, poor twist

this is pain to read.
Im hyped!

i love how you made silver friendly/caring towards Scoots

I really like this story so far, I hope it gets finished!
One question though:will the story follow only Scoots' journey or will there be all the details about this disease and how it affects foals?I mean, don't get me wrong, I saw that there are some details here and there, but will it be explained why only the foals get it and why are the first symptoms a headache and black mucus?Or how it started?

I'm glad you're enjoying it! To answer your question, I plan on the story focusing solely on Scootaloo and her sister Rainbow. That said, there will be more information dropped in conversation, thought, Scootaloo's symptoms and other means (including why only foals are effected). As for how it started, that'll remain a mystery, as nopony knows how it actually started. The only thing they do know about the start is that Diamond Tiara was the first to catch it (as said in this chapter). I do have an explanation, but it won't actually make it into the story, since A: the mystery of the virus adds to atmosphere and B: it doesn't effect the plot.
If you're curious though, I could write it out in a reply. Just let me know!:scootangel:

I am really curious though.Like you said, we know who was the first, but I'm more of a person of details:why?how?
Nonetheless, being in the medical field myself, these types of stories are my favorite.I love reading how authors come up with different diseases, symptoms and even cures.I bet that takes a lot of imagination

Without spoiling anything, here's basically how the pony caught it:

Diamond was on a trip with her mother and father to Southern Equestria, and before they left, she came across what she thought was a giant tar pit. She accidentally dropped her tiara in it, so she went to fetch it. Keep in mind, since she's an earth pony, she needed to pick up the tiara with her mouth. Some of that "tar" got into her, causing her to become infected. Soon after, the three went home via a train, unknowingly passing it on to more ponies. By the end of the day, about 100 foals were brought into hospitals, each sharing similar symptoms (i.e. headaches, coughing or sneezing up the black, oily mucus, stuffy noses, and heightened hearing). It escalated quickly after.

As for how I came up with this, it actually started when I was watching a DWK video (the A Flurry of Emotions recap). I don't know why, but it just came to me after he joked about the foals having "Derpies". Obviously, it's completely different now, having nothing in common with that. I let my creative juices flow, and now we're here.

oh dear...but still, nice to see this updated

Love it! Hope to see stage 4 soon

Nicely done and interesting take about scootaloo's parents
