> Life is Depressing > by Effy Mani > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Start of Life > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was born. I felt something holding me, like I was theirs. I opened my eyes, and there she was, my mom. I didn’t see her well, because the doctors took me and put me in the Nursery. The next thing I knew I was in a bed at my mom’s home. She picked me up and I fell straight asleep. When I woke up, I was in an Orphanage. How could she? The pony who was supposed to take care for me, she just runs away, leaving me? Huh, some mom she is. Anyways, I saw lots of foals around me, but as the years went by, they all disappeared. As soon as I turned three years old, I was one of the four foals left at the Orphanage. Years went by quickly, and I’m already thirteen. I’m probably the last foal left at the Orphanage. Today’s my first day at Ponyville School. The Orphanage has recently registered me there. When I enter the class, the first thing I see is how beautiful the small class is. The colors of the wall, how nice the books were organized…It was all great. The second thing I see is the teacher organizing all the apples on her desk from the students. Yeesh, that’s a lot of apples. I walked up to her and introduced myself. “Hi, I’m Scootaloo! I’ve been recently registered here by The…..” I paused, not wanting anypony in the class to know. “Yes, I know,” she replied to me. “I won’t tell anyone. You may call me Mrs. Cheerilee. Please go sit at the middle seat in the second row. You’ll see a tiny nametag on it.” “Okay, Mrs. Cheers. I can call you Mrs. Cheers, right?” She chuckled. “You may.” “Sweet!” I exclaimed and walked up to my desk. I sat down in my seat and waited quietly for the first bell to ring. I suddenly heard someponies talking behind me. “Oh look, it’s the New Girl,” said one of them. “I know, isn’t she ugly?” the other one replied. I’ve gotten annoyed. I walked up to them and showed them who’s boss. “Hey, I have ears, ya know!” I cried. “I can hear you from way up there, so, if you don’t mind, shut up before something bad happens…to you both!” They both had scared faces on them, until one of them notices her flank. “Blank Flank! Blank Flank!” she cried. Everypony in the class started laughing. Mrs. Cheerilee came and asked what was going on. I replied that the two ponies were being mean, but mostly the one with the silver hair, blue glasses and necklace. “Silver Spoon, go in the corner! And no buts!” exclaimed the teacher. Silver Spoon had no choice but to go to the corner. Finally, the class bell rang. Mrs. Cheerilee got to the front of the class and spoke. “Hello, foals and welcome to Ponyville School. If you are new here, I hope you are very welcomed and have fun here. So, let us start our first lesson…..Math! So, can anypony tell me what’s…….” Recess. I got outside and saw the cute playground. It was nice and small, the kind of playground I’m used to. Back at the Orphanage, we would always go to the small park in the middle of Ponyville and have fun. So, I go in the park, down the slide, go up, go down, go up, go down, and so on. When the bell rings, we all go inside for our lesson of Art. “Now, what I want you all to do is draw your family,” said Mrs. Cheerilee. “It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t look good, that you’re an only foal or whatever. Just, whoever you can remember in your family, draw them. And no, they don’t have to look exactly like them.” Scootaloo quickly took a look of herself, then on her page, she sketched herself beautifully. Mrs. Cheerilee would often come and look at the drawings. “It looks beautiful, Scootaloo,” she’d say, which would make me happy. “And also, those two filles from this morning, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, I’d just ignore them.” “Okay, I will, thanks,” I replied. Diamond and Silver heard Mrs. Cheerilee and me talking. So, they ignored me for the rest of the day. “We heard your talk with, Mrs. Cheerilee and were, like, sorry,” Diamond Tiara said. I simply ignored them. Woo, was this day fun. > A New Friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s already my second day at school, on my way there, I see a pony with nice yellow fur, a pink mane with curls at the edges, and turquoise eyes. For somewhat reason, she looks very familiar. But I just ignore her and walk to school. As I arrive, I see a new foal. I’m thinking, Looks like he missed the first day, yesterday. But, it doesn’t matter. So, as I went to my desk, I saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon again. They were just about to talk to me when Mrs. Cheers gives them a Leave-Her-Alone face. The two fillies run back to their seats like if nothing ever happened. I look back at the new foal. Nice purple eyes, black and dark grey mane, light grey fur… In my opinion, he looked cute. Mrs. Cheers assigned him to the seat right beside me. I look at the nametag on the desk, and it says Rumble. At least know I know his name. “Hi,” I look back at the nametag. “Rumble.” “Hey,” he looks at my nametag. “Scootaloo. Wow, that’s a nice name.” “Thanks.” I’m already blushing, and so is he. I think I like him. The school bell rings. Mrs. Cheers already starts off the class. “Hello foals,” she’d say. “Today we have a new student, Rumble. He wasn’t there yesterday do to all the arraigning in his new home.” So he’s new to Ponyville, I think. “Anyways, this morning we have our English lessons,” she’d talk once more. “I need you all to team up, Boy and Girl.” “You wanna be together, Scoots?” Rumble would ask me. “I can call you Scoots, right?” “Yes, and yes,” I’d answer him. “Okay, so what I want you all to do is...” The recess bell rings. Already? I’d think. That was a bit earlier than usual. “So, I can show you around the playground, if you want,” I’d tell Rumble. “Sure.” I’d show him outside and he’s already amazed. “Wow..” he’d say. Around here looks sweet!” “Glad ya like it.” He runs off into the playground and so do I. The recess bell rings soon enough and we go inside for our lesson in….Ugh, Science. Lunch. I take out my hayburger and Rumble takes out his daisy flower sandwich. We finish lunch soon enough and Mrs. Cheers has an announcement. “I’d like all your attention, please. In two weeks, there’s gonna be a talent show/prom. If you can’t find a date, you can go with your friends.” Get a date at our age? I’d think. Yeesh. “So umm, you wanna go together to the Talent Prom, or whatever it’s called?” Rumble would ask me. “Sure.” I don’t show much emotion, but deep in my head, I’m screaming in joy. “Ugh, we gotta, like, get them apart, Silver!” Diamond would exclaim, but quietly so only Silver could hear. “Wait, you like that loser?” Silver would ask. “Of course I do, but he’s already got a date with Chicken-Loo.” “Well, what are we gonna do about it?” “As soon as Scootaloo leaves him at the end of the day, I’ll go ask if he wants to come to my house. And I’ll deal with the rest.” “You’re not doing what I think you’re gonna do, are you?” “Well, of course I’m gonna do that! It’s the only way for him to love me!” “You mean, you’re gonna make him……You-Know-What you? At your age?” “Well, duh.” Oh god, Silver would think. Why am I friends with a nasty girl like her? Maybe I should end our Friendship.. Elsewhere, that yellow and pink pony lay on the couch in her living room. “Was that really her?” she’d ask. “My, she’s grown so much.” Angel would just sit beside her. He knew how Fluttershy felt about her, but he just didn’t know how to answer. “I guess we’ll just find out another day, huh?” Angel would simply nod. The mare would start thinking, Sorry I Couldn’t Be There For You. > Talent Prom Time! (Part 1) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it already the day before Talent Prom? Wow, that was fast! After school, I go to Carousel Boutique to pick out a new dress. I pick out a dress covered in orange, a little purple, and pink and white trim. The shoes are orange with purple trim. Rarity said she could style my mane, but to make sure my date, Rumble, doesn’t see it, or else it’ll ruin the surprise. Good thing tomorrow’s Saturday. I’m deciding to sing a song for the Talent part, and dance with Rumble on the Prom part. Rarity makes my hair something like a cyan Pegasus with rainbow hair, except with curls at each end. She adds a rainbow flower in my hair. She says she’ll give me the dress for free, because it’s my first prom. I thank her very kindly and run to the Orphanage so that Rumble doesn’t see me. I arrive at the Orphanage and go to my room. My room has blue walls, posters lf champion flyers, and my pink and purple blanket on my bed. I hang the dress and get into my bed. I fall asleep after reading one of my favorite books: Daring Do. I have the whole collection, even her latest one with the cyan Pegasus with the rainbow mane, with her Autograph! Rumors in Ponyville by that exact cyan Pegasus is that A.K. Yearling is Daring Do herself! I don’t know if I can trust that Pegasus or not. Oh well, doesn’t matter. I wake up at around 11:00 AM. I turn off my alarm clock on the weekends. I see breakfast on the counter beside my bed. The ponies here are so nice. I eat up quickly and go take a shower, then go downstairs into the playroom. A pony visits the Orphanage. She says she’s not adopting, just visiting one of the orphans, which is of course me, ‘cuz I’m the last orphan left. “Scootaloo? Where are you?” would ask the mare. I stand up and greet her. “Hi, you look familiar. Do I know you?” “Not exactly, but I know you.” “Then what’s your name?” “I’m Fluttershy.” There was sparks in my eyes. That name struck my thought. But I ignored it. I hardly even know this mare. Must be some popular name I’ve heard from around Ponyville. I just walk away. Thoughts in my head, they all can’t be true. They aren’t true! I hate these thoughts I have. Fluttershy also walks out of the room and back to her cottage. Finally, seven. An hour more and it’s Talent Prom time! I go to my room, put the dress on fast but cautiously. I go back in the playroom and start playing with the trains. Rumble’s the only one who knows my secret, about me being an orphan, ‘cuz he’s the only pony I can trust. I hear a knock at the door and go to answer it. “Rumble!” “Heya, Scoots.” There’s a weird-off face on him. “Something wrong?” “I’ll tell you on our way to the school.” “Okay.” We walk out the door and start off to the school. “So, what’s wrong?” I ask. “Well, it’s…..it’s…..it’s…” “Just spit it out!” “Diamond Tiara made me have sex with her!” My heart collapsed. I knew she was gonna do something bad at some point. “She…she didn’t.” “She did.” Tears came to my eyes. Rumble came to me and hugged me. I returned it. “You’re the only one I love, and it’ll always be that way,” he’d whisper in my ear. “I feel the same way.” “Now, c’mon. We don’t wanna be late!” We’re finally here. The room is crowded, ‘cuz for this, Mrs. Cheers moved the desks into corners of the room. It’s a good thing we’re gonna be dancing outside. “You practiced our song, right?” I’d ask Rumble. “Do cows eat hay?” “Yes..” “Then I did!” “Okay, sweet!” > Talent Prom Time! (Part 2) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Okay, everypony!” Mrs. Cheers would announce. “We are now starting the Talent Show! First up is for a duo….Scootaloo and Rumble!” Me and Rumble go in front of the room. “This song was sang by Applejack and Fluttershy,” I’d tell the class. “Rumble will be Applejack and I’ll be Fluttershy. Hope you enjoy!” A tune comes up, and Rumble starts the song. Those vampire bats will give you a fright Eat an apple both day and night They rest for a minute Maybe three Then they’re eating every apple in your apple tree They don’t care about nada, not zilch, no nothin’ ‘Cept bringin’ about an orchard’s destruction I continue the next verse. Now wait just a minute There’s another side to this And if I did not defend them, then I would be remiss These bats are mamas and papas, too They care for there’s own just like we ponies do Oh give me a break You’re being too kind These creatures have a one track mind The orchard’s not their restaurant But do they ever think what others may want? No, they don’t And that is just a fact These bats They simply don’t know how to act That’s where I have to disagree They’re loyal to their family Spreading seeds both far and wide You see one comin’ You better run and hide! They’re big And ugly And mean as sin Would you look at the state My trees are in? They help your trees They’ll go strong and faster They’ve turned my life To a total disaster The rest of the class knew what the other four sang, so half of the class sang Rarity’s, RD’s, TS’s, and PP’s. Well I for one don’t have a doubt These vermins must be stamped right out I second that they’ve gotta go These bats they’ve gotta hit the road It comes down To just one simple fact They’ve crossed the line It’s time to fight them back Stop the bats Stop the bats Make them go and not come back Stop the bats Stop the bats Make them go and not come back Stop the bats Stop the bats Make them go and not come back Yes, it comes down To just one simple fact These bats They’ve simply don’t know how to act. The class cheered as loud as possible. Me and Rumble bowed and got back to the places we were at before. “So,” Mrs. Cheers would say. “Who’s next is…..” > Talent Prom Time! (Part 3) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “And the winner, or winners, of the Talent Show is…” Mrs. Cheers would announce. “Scootaloo and Rumble!” Everypony clapped their hooves, as two small trophies were awarded to me and Rumble. “Thanks, Mrs!” we’d both exclaim. “Now, everypony outside! It’s dance time!” Mrs. Cheer exclaims. “May I have this dance?” Rumble would ask me. “You may,” I’d answer. As everypony started dancing, me and Rumble would gaze into each other’s eyes. I felt like we were the only two ponies left in the world. Finally, I decided to make it official. I kissed Rumble straight on the lips. His eyes widened in surprise, but then closed and returned the kiss. Everypony was looking at us, clapping and cheering. “Looks like my plan failed,” Diamond Tiara would say. “Yeah it did,” Silver would say, “you naughty little nine year old. I bet no pony would even like you!” “How could you say that?” “Because I’m making it official. Our friendship…is over.” Everypony would gasp and look at them, even me and Rumble would break the kiss and look. Silver would just walk away, and over to me. “Hey, Scoots,” she’d say. “I’m sorry for the things I did. It was all Diamond, I swear! And Rumble, sorry Diamond did, You-Know-What to you.” “Apology accepted!” Rumble and I would exclaim in unison. All three of us hugged. Looks like there’s one more pony I can trust. “Well, I gotta go,” Silver would say. “It’s getting late, bye!” “Maybe we should head off, too,” I’d tell Rumble. “Okay,” he’d reply. We’d arrive at the Orphanage, me and Rumble standing at the door. “So, I guess I’ll see you Monday.” He’d say while walking off. “Wait!” I’d cry to him. “So, I’m guessing, we’re…Official, now?” “I guess.” “Then, here.” I’d kiss him on the lips, and he’d return it. “Bye.” He’d walk off again. > The Journey Begins > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m just playing in the Playroom Saturday afternoon until somepony knocks on the door. I answer it, noticing that exact same pony. “Aw, what do you want?” I’d ask Fluttershy. “Wait, I’m not here alone.” She’d turn and I see five other mares. “What’s going on?” “We need your help,” would say the lavender fur mare, with a midnight mane, pink and blue streaks across it. “Help with what?” “Some sort of giant vermin is attacking Equestria!” says the white fur mare, purple curled mane. “And why do you need my help?” “”Cuz the only way to stop the monster is using the Elements of Harmony,” the cyan Pegasus I know about with the rainbow mane would say. “And?” “We’ve found out we’re not connected to them anymore,” says the tangerine fur mare, with a blonde ponytail mane. “WHAT-TO-THE-WHO-KNOW?” “It’s truealooalooie!” exclaims the carnation fur mare, with dark pink poofy mane. “So, we need your help,” says same old Fluttershy. “Why do you need my help?” “Because we went to this tree,” the pink mare would go on, “And that tree talked to us! I named him Mr. Treey! So he told us that the new elements are fillies, and that there’s only three! No, four! No, I’m perfectly sure it was five!” “It was three,” says the lavender mare. “Anyways, I’m Twilight, that’s Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and I’m assuming you know Fluttershy?” “Yep. And you think one of them’s me?” “Well, actually…” would go on Fluttershy. “I suggested you.” This mare is stupid! I think. Going on and picking random fillies as the new EoH? “Anyways, how do we prove the new EoH?” “You’ll have to go against the monster attacking Equestria,” would explain Twilight. Fluttershy was in deep thought. Deep, deep thought. “Look, Fluttershy,” would say Rainbow Dash. “If you wanna keep it, do it. But it ain’t gonna be easy. You are far too young for a foal and you know it! You also know he’s not gonna come back and take care of you either.” “Congratulations, Mrs. Fluttershy,” would say one of the nurses. “It’s a girl.” “She…she’s so beautiful.” “So, what are you going to name it?” “I…I still need to think about that.” There stood Fluttershy, in front of the Orphanage. “I’m so, so sorry..” Present Day In Her Thoughts “Fluttershy!” would exclaim Scootaloo. “Are you okay? You zoned out there for like a full minute there!” “Oh yes, I’m sorry. I was just…thinking. What can I do for you girls?” “Will ya sign our petition to save the Ponyville clock tower?” asks Apple Bloom. “Mayor Mare wants to tear it down and build a new parkin’ lot there!” “It’s part of Ponyville’s history, you know,” would say Sweetie Belle. “And it’s sure to get our cutie marks this time!” exclaims Scoots. “Oh, of course. Let me just go get my quill and I’ll sign your petition.” “There you go, one signature!” “Thanks, Fluttershy!” the three fillies would exclaim together. “I’m so, so sorry..” “Huh?” would ask Scootaloo. “No-nothing! I-I was just about to say I’m sorry for the tower!” “Oh yeah! But we’re on the case! We’ll save it, just you watch! Bye, Fluttershy!” “I’m so proud of you….” Another day in her thoughts “Oh my, is it that time already…?” Every year, I buy a nice, well thought-out present for Scootaloo’s birthday. I also buy a small, meaningless one. While everypony’s out to pick up Scootaloo at the school, I sneak in and leave the big one at the party, without a name, of course. The meaningless one has my name on it, naturally. I keep that one for when I show up at the party…if I even have the courage, that is. It’s stupid, but I see it as my way of saying, “Sorry I Couldn’t Be There For You,” my poor baby. “Fluttershy? Fluttershy!” I’d scream. “Uh, yes!” “You zoned out there for like a full minute!” That’s exactly what you said that day.. “Hello?” “Yes?!” “Who do you think the other two fillies could be the EoH, Mrs. Always-Knows?” “Maybe your two other friends, Rumble and Silver Spoon.” “Okay, off to their houses!” We trot off to Rumble’s house. When we arrive, of course I’m the one knocking the door. “Ye….Scootaloo!” “Hey, Rumble. I need your help.” “With what?” She’d let Rumble see the Main 6. “Let me guess,” he’d say. “There’s a giant monster attacking Equestria and you need our help ‘cuz you think we’re the new EoH?” “How did you….” “Oh, I was trotting around the Orphanage earlier and heard your little chat.” “Okay..anyways..” “I know their names already, no worries.” “M’kay.” We’d all walk to Silver Spoon’s house. They all expect me to knock, but I make Rumble to knock. He does the exact same thing with me and we head the the Tree. “Hi, Mr. Treey!” exclaims Pinkie. “I see you brought the three foals you thought would be the new EoH,” says the tree. “THE TREE CAN TALK?!” exclaims both Silver and Rumble. “Yep,” I tell them. “I see you brought the correct foals.” “But I thought you said that to know who’s the new EoH, they have to fight the monster,” would say Twilight. “Looks like I made a mistake. All you had to do was bring them to me.” We all did face-hooves. “Anyways, just go to the monster in Appleloosa. Then, you can defeat him. Warning: He is extremely powerful.” “Okay!” I’d exclaim and we all trot out. The tree would sigh. “They’re doomed.” > Going Long and Hard > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're already on the train heading to Appleloosa. Silence everywhere. It seems that I was the only one who heard what the tree said when we left, because I paused for a second. "So, umm, Scootaloo?" Fluttershy ends the silence. "Aww, now what do you want?" I ask. I was being a bit annoyed by this mare. "N-never mind." She wanted to tell her, but she didn't have enough courage. "Fluttershy?" "Yes, honey?" "I'm sorry for being harsh, I'm going through a lot." "That's alright, sweetie. Everypony has those days." We finally arrive at Appleloosa, after thirty minutes. I see Rumble sleeping beside me and I shake him. He wakes up, groaning and saying, "Are we there yet?" "Yes, we are," answers Twilight. "Anyways," I say, "how are we supposed to track down this scary monster?" "Got that covered," answers Twilight once more. Twilight's horn glows a bright hot pink, with a hot pink arrow appearing in front of us all, pointing us to where we're supposed to go. "Sweet!" yells Silver. We follow it, suddenly appearing in front of a cave full of gems. "It's gettin' late," says Applejack. "We should find a place to sleep." So we all find rocks for pillows, but we had to sleep with no blanket. "Goodnight everypony," says Twilight, as the others-including me- reply with a Goodnight. Scootaloo.....would call a voice. Come here.... I follow the sound and find myself at a cave in the dark forest. Come here, Scootaloo.. I enter the cave, seeing Fluttershy, but not The Fluttershy. She was covered in blood, dark red eyes, and suddenly looked like a bat. Pinkie Pie was talking to me on the train about when Fluttershy became a bat and she thought they ate ponies-which she said was true. Come closer.. I'm terribly scared, but I do what she says. I know it's wrong, but I feel something, pushing me to her. I am coming......to eat you! The bat flew right by me, as a light blue beam appeared out of nowhere and zapped the bat. I looked up and saw an unordinary pony. "Huh?" I ask, unaware of what species she is. "A pony with wings and a horn?!" "Infact, yes," she says to me. "I am an alicorn, Princess of The Night. Thy may call me Princess Luna." "Cool, and thanks for saving me!" "Thy is welcome, child. Now, why was thou having nightmares about sweet Fluttershy?" "I have a feeling about her I can't explain, some sort of connection." "And what does thou think this connection is?" "A connection of family, love, and hope. But, Fluttershy isn't part of my family. Nopony is." "All with be revealed in the future, dear child. Now I must go." "Wait, Princess Luna!" I exclaim, waking the others. "What the..?" asks Rumble. "Oops." "We should probably get to that cave again," says Twilight. "C'mon, everypony!" I think in my head, This is a fun adventure! What could possible go wrong? > What The Huh?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything went wrong. First, we end up at where the cave was, and it wasn't there! IT WASN'T THERE! Second of all, when we find it again, the creature's not there. Which creature leaves their home hangin' in the middle of nowhere? Well, whatever it is, it seems to like stuffed animals. We found six whole piles of stuffed animals. Fluttershy beamed when she saw one of them. "Lulu! I finally found you!" I burst into laughter. An adult...that likes stuffed animals? This adventure was getting more frustratingly fun by the second! Suddenly, the stuffed animal walked over to me and slapped me in the face. "Ow!" I yelped. "Sorry," says Fluttershy, "she's real. She doesn't like ponies who are mean to me." "That makes......sense?" "Where in tarnation would that varmint have gone to?!" ask-screams AJ. "Right here.. It was as tiny as a bug, but it had a loud voice. It was blue with white spots and black stripes. "Where are ya?" It started bouncing up and down. I was the first to notice. "This'll be easy," I scoffed. I walked up to the tiny thing and squashed it with my hoof. "Job done, let's go home. This was no threat at all." Then, the tiny thing grew the size of Lulu. "That did not just happen," said Rainbow. "It just did," I replied. "But that isn't possible." "Well, maybe it is!" "Is not!" "Is too!" "Is not!" "Is too!" As Rainbow and I were arguing, the creature grew larger and larger, until, it reached the size of well..um..how could I say it? A dragon? I dunno. Aha! As large as...aw man, lost it. As a dragon. Best I got. "What's easy to get, now?" Rainbow and I looked back to the tiny thing. It was no longer tiny. "It is possible!" shrieked Rainbow. "Told ya so!" "Stop with the arguing!" yelled Twilight. "You're making it worse!" Just as Twilight said that, she was smacked to the wall of the cave. "Twilight!" screamed Pinkie. "Yes, I am screamed, Narrator." What the huh? "Yeah, I can hear you!" Okay, then. Now, where was I? "You were at me screaming 'Twilight!'" Right. Pinkie ran to Twilight, shook her, but she stayed unconscious. Yep, things were wrong today. "I wonder what Diamond would do if she was here," mumbles Silver. Suddenly, the monster hits Applejack to the wall. "Ow.." "AJ!" Rainbow flys straight to AJ, who was bleeding on the head. Right then, Rarity poofs up a bandage on AJ. "There you go, darling." And the monster smacks Rarity, and Pinkie to the wall. There left Fluttershy, Rumble, Silver and I. "Well, this gonna go bad," unsafely says Rumble. I've been getting better with my flying. So I fly straight to the monster and smack him. He falls to the ground and goop goes all over, but he reforms and tries to attack me, but I dodge. "This is easy." Just as I say that, I smack to the wall and start to bleed badly on the head, hoof and wing. The others get their consciousness again and come to see me. So do Fluttershy, Rumble and Silver. "Is she..?" asks Fluttershy. Applejack touches my heart, feels nothing, and nods. Fluttershy cries so loud that it almost breaks Twilight's ear. "We know how much she meant to you," says Rainbow. Fluttershy crawled beside me. "Where she goes, I go." > The Defeat > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- With Fluttershy beside me without me knowing, due to unconsciousness, Rainbow looks around at the others who had tears. "What are you guys crying about?" Rainbow questions. "You knew she was having Scootaloo two weeks after!" "So what?" asks Pinkie. "We still know!" "Yeah, but I was the first to know." Silence. One of my eyes opens just a pinch. "Why you guys crying?" Everypony hops up in fear. "Now you're scared? What is up with you guys?" Then, I look at my forehead, hoof and wing. "Oh. Anyways...Fluttershy, why are you beside me?" Fluttershy, snoring like a pig, said in Sleep-Talk, "Because you were..unconscious." She then opens her eyes. "Your reason?" "I was sad." "The others are sad, and they're standing. Why was it you to come crawl beside me?" "I wasn't planning on telling you 'til you turned fourteen, b-" "Tell me what when I was fourteen?" "That you're...well..you're....my daughter." "That's a joke." "It isn't," says Rainbow. "I was the first to know." I was about to say something, but my eyes shut again. "Please no, Scootaloo..Please..come back." Fluttershy starts crying on my chest. She backs up when she hears a spark. Me, Rumble and Silver started floating in the air. Rumble and Silver cry for help, but they aren't in danger. The bleeds on me disappear with a poof as we land on the ground. "The element of Truth," I start to say, but don't know why. A necklace with thunderclouds on it appears on Rumble. "The element of Forgiveness," a necklace with a spoon appears on Silver. "And, the element of Feelings," a crown with a scooter in the middle of a gear appears on my head. All three of us float into the air again, rainbows whooshing around us. My eyes opened wide, all blank, as the rainbows turned into stars and hit the Blob, which nopony noticed was still there. It goops around and all the goop disappears. The Main 6 are in awe. "That was..." Rainbow starts, "awesome!" "Yeah, yeah, nice," I say. "Anyways...Fluttershy?" "Mhm?" "Is it true what you said, that you're my mom?" She nods. I give her a big hug, tears already falling in my eyes. "Aw!!!" Pinkie exclaims. We all head back to town, where things are gonna go crazy. > Endings Always End Good > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all are dancing to my favorite song, 'Fireflies' by Owl City at Sugarcube Corner. It was a First Family Reunion for Fluttershy and I. I'm right now dancing with her, Rumble and Silver when the song ends. Fluttershy goes to Pinkie, who's the DJ, and requests the song 'Alligator Sky.' Looks like I've already found something we both have in common. We both like Owl City. Weird, I know. But then, instead of coming to dance again, she goes to a table and sits. I trot over to her. "Something wrong?" I ask her. "No, it's just that I expected this party to happen after your fourteenth birthday!" We both laugh. I never expected to know who my parents were until a few years later. But right now, that doesn't matter. What matters is the present. Now and forever. "Wanna go back dancing?" I question. "Sure." After the cake, it was time to go home. Mom and I walk to her cottage. I've only seen the outside of it, and that's when my old friends, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, asked her if she could sign a repetition to keep the Ponyville Clock Tower alive. "Mom.." "Yes, sweetie?" "Why did you drop me at The Orphanage?" "I couldn't take care of you by myself, and I was only sixteen at the time." "That young?" "Yep." "Then, where did my father go?" "He died before you were born." "What! How?" "He was in the military and died in a war." "Oh." I feel tears, but hold them back. "It's okay to cry once in a while." After she said that, tears went running like a shot of lightning. She comforted me with a hug. "We're here," she says as I wipe the tears away. I run inside to find it's a like crowded, with all the pictures and furniture, but I like the color green. Not that much, but I still like it. I walk upstairs to find two doors. I enter one. Must be Fluttershy's. I go to the next door and find that everything from my room in The Orphanage is here. "How..?" I find a note on the bed. I read out loud: Dear Scootaloo, I know you are wondering how these are here. Well, before the party, I called the mare who cared for you at The Orphanage to ship all these here. She asked me why and I said I adopted her. I didn't want her to know I was the one who birthed you because she probably wouldn't believe me. But anyways, I hope you like the room. I painted it your favorite color, Blue, added some stuff you might like, and more. Love and kisses. Your mom, Fluttershy. PS: Look beside you. I looked beside me and there was a pony plushie I could sleep with. But it wasn't ordinary, for it was me. Mom came into the room. "Time for bed, sweetie." "Okay," I answer. I get myself in the blankets and cuddle with..well..me. Mom gives me a kiss on the forehead. "Goodnight," and she leaves the room. That's when my life changed.
