Dear Journal,
This is a school project for every pony in class. I don’t like stuff like this. We’re supposed to write down our deepest secrets in this. Cheerilee won’t look at them she promises, she only wants her class to fill them out and that’s what we are graded on. The idea is just dumb to me! I think it’s silly, mean we could be doing other things but this is homework on top of the math we have to do each night? It’s like we don’t have enough to do. No I don’t like this idea; I have better things to worry about like how to get my cutie mark. Oh well, I guess I have to do this to get a grade… so here it goes. I’ll start with introductions.
I’m Scootaloo, a part of the Cutie Mark Crusaders! You know that orange Pegasus? Yeah that’s me! I’m awesome on a scooter; I can blow past any pony that dares challenges me to a race. I have two other friends who are also in the same club I am the CMC! There is Applebloom who is an earth pony. She’s a part of the Apple family with her big sister Applejack and her big brother Big Mac. Oh I can’t forget her crazy grandmother, Granny Smith. I’m sure she’s as old as Princess Celestia or Princess Luna because she talks about how things were in the old days. I mean how old can you be to talk about how Ponyville was settled? It’s got to be pretty old! The next friend I have is Sweetie Belle, a unicorn. She’s the younger sister of the one and only and Ponyville’s own Rarity. I can see Sweetie loves her sister and wants to be just like her, but sometimes I think Rarity sees her as a bother because she’s just “so busy with other things” as Sweetie Belle says on several occasions.
I guess I should talk about myself now huh? I don’t know what to say really. I mean I’m a Pegasus that hasn’t ever been on a cloud, I can’t really fly (yet). I’m a blank flank; as much as I hate that word it’s true. I’m awesome at sports, like racing and other things. Oh I have an idle! Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in Equestria! I’m surprised the Wonderbolts haven’t recruited her yet, because they really should! She’s a real inspiration to me and I hope someday (hopefully soon) to fly alongside of her and do tricks. You know, all of that cool stuff she does when she’s not saving the world or sleeping on the job… I mean taking a nap. I don’t really spend much time at home, my parents aren’t really there. I’m usually over at Sweetie Belle’s house sleeping over or something. I just don’t like my house.
My parents… I don’t really know what to say about them. My mom’s hardly around and my dad loves the bottle too much really. Mom has to work extra hard to make ends meet so that leaves me alone with my dead beat dad. He hardly has anything to say about me, at least that’s nice. Calling me chicken, dodo, useless, and whatever else you can think of. Yeah I know I can’t fly but Pegasus feathers I’m not a dodo…. I’m a pony! I’m an awesome pony… if only other ponies could see that I’m worth something. I mean I have my friends and my idle and her friends saying I’m awesome at what I do and encouraging me (along with my two other friends) to do our best. It would just be nice to have my parents say it. I mean my mom says stuff… when she’s around but she doesn’t know what really goes on. No one does.
My dad’s really bad. He likes to smack me around. He’s a Pegasus like me, but he had his wings cut off because they got hurt really bad in a freak thunder storm when I was still really little. My mom says that he’s really nice when he’s not drinking and he goes to therapy for his issues. I don’t see him ever leave the house though, or if he does go to therapy for his issues, I don’t see them helping out. if anything they are making it worse. All he does is drinking away my mom’s money and it makes me mad. He’s a loser, and I hate him. Sometimes I wonder why my mom doesn’t just leave him, he’s no good for her. I mean yeah he’s my dad but he’s nothing but mean to her. My dad beats her up in a drunken rage, usually over the fact I can’t fly. I guess he beats himself up over it because he sees it as a failure on his part that his ‘disability’ was passed on to his only daughter. Still though, I don’t know what to think of him sometimes. I hate him most of the time but I love him too because he’s my dad. This I haven’t even told my best friends.
I keep this to myself because I don’t want people feeling sorry for me. I get enough abuse from Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara about being a blank flank. I don’t want or need them making fun of me because I come from a broken home too until them who has everything. Sometimes I wish that some pony would just buck those to fillies in the head and knock some niceness into them if that’s even possible. Better yet, let them live with my dad for a week and I’ll take their house that would show them how lucky they have it. Hopefully it would stop them from bullying other ponies too, especially me and my friends. Stupid rich snoot tails need to be taught a lesson!
I don’t have a totally horrible life, I do enjoy my time at school with my friends or when I’m talking to them. I love spending time with them and their families! I’m lucky enough to have them or at least Rainbow Dash do things with me when there is an event in Ponyville. In that sense I’m luckier than any pony to have supportive friends no matter what. Sweetie Belle I love to death because she always shares her lunch with me since I don’t really have anything usually. Applebloom does too when she has enough to share depending on how things are going on for the farm and such.
I think that ends it for this journal entry. I hope this pleases Cheerilee since my mouth is numb from writing so much today. I think I’ve written more than I have in this silly journal thing than I have in a day in class. Anyways I will update you tomorrow with what happens I guess.
~ Scootaloo
Future Wonderbolt member!
I'll give this a read, but just so ya know, there's an extremely good clopfic of the same title.
Hmm no sex with cheerile like imjustanotherbrony
the word idle should be spelled idol if we are talking about Scootaloo idolizing Rainbow Dash. Idle is when your car won't move. Just this correction and I think that is it.
Isn't this already a fanfic?
Will read later since it's not as extreme as the clopfic.
>this is to be written as i see fit

Beat Regidar to this one
Also, wasn't there already a fanfic like this?
1687439 Pretty sure that was done on purpose, seeing as its coming from what we'd consider an elementary school student. Same reason for the grammatical errors. If this is what was intended, bravo author. If not, best find yourself a proofreader, and fast.

NOW THEN
I lost all respect for IJAB when he decided to be a quitter crybaby on us, so I approve of this title.
1687615 I lost all respect for IJAB when he started acting like a poor man's Alan Moore
but I guess we agree on the same thing here.
EVERYPONY! There WAS a fic with this title. However, it was a Cherilee x Scootaloo clopfic or something, I don't know I didn't read it. However this one is probably better.
I will read this. *watches* Later.
1687615 Hang on a sec
what happened to IJAB? Did he quit the fandom or something?
Cuz none of his fics seem to be on here
Edit: He did! Bwahahahahaha!
What a pussy!
>Wrote clop
>Leaves fandom because of it
Really, dude? REALLY?!
1687615
Quitter crybaby? Meh. He finished Scootaloo Diaries, and I liked it, so that's good enough for me.
Well, Scootaloo's dad is a drunkard, her mom works 3 jobs (at least) and she's abused at home...
I'm going to love this fic now aren't I?
1687614 actually it's meant to have some spelling errors and some sentence goofs.
1688023 I thought as much, seeing as Scootaloo is just a filly an' all. This is really good, I look forward to more.
1687615 Oh, Regidar. I wondered when you were going to turn up.
1688271 Fuck, if you come back you have my full support. No one is beyond redemption. If you come back, I'm behind you 100%.
1688328 Done.
1687954 Hopefully when "Sleepless in Ponyvillie" airs if Hasbro DOES show Scootaloo's parents they won't be potrayed as they are in this fic.
Scootalove is better than Scootabuse.
1688807 Amen brother. Amen.
1688840 But first things first we've got "Magic Duel" to watch and I can tell here's high hopes for that one as well. And not just because it's the return of Trixie.
1687615>>1688328 I don't know who you guys are, but when I read stories, you guys are mentioned like 75% of the time. So, I'm going to have to check out why eventually.
Anyway, this was good. It was very simple, but pretty much exactly how I would see a foal to write in a journal. I can't wait to see where you take it (and I was glad to see the sorta simple sentences and grammar issues even I noticed were on purpose).
1688997 i enjoy the character and i love scootaloo. she's just too adorable, plus she reminds me of myself when i was a kid. it's easy for me to put myself in her place in elementary school.
1689010 I feel like most of the characters are releatable, myself. I've created my own head canon for Scoots parents and everything (though it's had to be adjusted since the babs seed ep). I think the way you had her just off handedly describe how she was treated at home good too--I have experience with kids who've had parents like that, and it seems about right with how they describe it, as if it sorta mattered but not really. I do like this story and I hope you continue.
You changed the title
why?
is it because of that hack author who shall not be mentioned by name?
1688023
I'm gunna trust you on this one, otherwise nice save.
1687615
1688997 >I don't know who you guys are,
but I will find you, and I will kill you
1689695 yeah. i didn't want to hear the ">:E THIS ISN'T A CLOP FIC" crap.
1690760 Well maybe not quite like this fic, but Hasbro could make them seem abusive if Scootaloo's parents find out about her nightmare issues and don't try to help her.
"Oh I have an idle!" "I mean I have my friends and my idle and her"
Actually the word is spelled idol. Other than that I don't see any mistakes.
Anyways, I'm really liking the story. Great job.
Let's see... I saw quite a bit of grammar mistakes, but other than that, this story is good! It has nice, flowing words, it's not too fast paced, and the idea of Cheerilee giving her class a journal assignment that Scootaloo has is (kind of) very original. Keep going!
~AmazingPony
Shoot, could this be more along the lines of the reader being Scootaloo's shrink that she's secretly seeing?

I love your profile picture!
Yep. Other than the Idle, Idol homonym. Good chapter, kept IC, was a pretty good first entry, and I even though this has Tragedy in it I hope at the very least Scootaloo gets out of that house.
1900388
I noticed that too, but I don't think Scootaloo in character would know about homonyms yet, and it's IC for her to not use a dictionary.
3057840 I LOVE your profile picture!!!
