Ditzy Doo: Sorry, Dash, but I'm not going into a burning building just to deliver mail.
Rainbow Dash: ...WHAT?!
Scootaloo: Anything for me?
Ditzy Doo: Yeppers! A package from your parents!
Scootaloo: Yay! Thanks Mailmare! You're a good pony!
Rainbow Dash: Wait...your parents?
Scootaloo: Yeah. My parents travel a lot, so they thought it would be better if I just stayed in Ponyville. I don't mind, because if I traveled a lot, I wouldn't get to see you and my other friends!
Ditzy Doo: D'aww.
you wonder whats in the package...?
> Get your friends, so you can all open it together.
You thank the mailmare and leaf Raindow Dash to take care of her cloudhouse shomehow being on fire. You went to find her friends! Which friend did you find first, and where were they?
> She found Applebloom, at Fluttershy's cottage first.
>> Obviously she thought she'd find Applebloom at Fluttershy's cottage, but instead she stumbled upon Rarity.
you went to fluttershy's cottage to see if Applebloom would be there to helop open the package!
sadly, she was not
> Chat Fluttershy up.
>> Ask her if she's seen Apple Bloom.
you decide to chat up fluttershy! she is the cutest pony ever and no one can even cpmpare i mean look at here she is the cutest foreverandever ands tuff!!!
Scootaloo: Hey, Fluttershutter! What's new?
Fluttershy: Oh hello, Scootaloo! I was just talking to Rarity about some floral patterns that she might use for some season-themed scarves that Hoity Toity wanted her to design. You see-
Scootaloo: Bored now. Any idea where Apple Bloom is?
Fluttershy: Oh...well, I know she's not around here. For some reason, she was trying to get a cartography cutie mark by making a map of the Everfree Forest! I managed to get her out before she got hurt. She scampered off to somewhere in town soon afterward.
Scootaloo: Huh. Alright, thanks Fluttershy!
> Ask Rarity where Sweetie Bell is.
Rarity: Y U NO FEMININE

Scootaloo: Hey Apple Bloom...
Apple Bloom: Well heya, Scootaloo! Ah thought ah might've seen ya around here today! Whassap?
Scootaloo: I kinda... got a package from my parents. I wanted to see if you and Sweetie Belle would wanna open it with me.
Apple Bloom: Aw shucks, that's mighty sweet, but wouldn'tcha wanna wait until later to open it?
Scootaloo: Not really...
Apple Bloom: Well alright then. Seeya later, Pinkie Pie! Remember what I tolja!
You and Applebloom quicky get out of there thank Celestia... now where to find sweetie delle?

>The Big Book of Dumb Fabrics.
Scootaloo: Hey Sweetie Belle! Whatcha carrying?
Sweetie Belle: It's a book! I borrowed it from Twilight's library. Word of advice, don't go inside. Spike made me Pinkie Pie swear to be super quiet because Twilight was... what does "hunover" mean?
Apple Bloom: Isn't that a holiday?
Sweetie Belle: Really? Huh. I guess Twilight is being all...religulous. Anyway, I managed to get this book out of the library before Spike kicked me out. Apparently my clip-clopping was giving Twilight a headache.
Scootaloo: That's even sillier!...what book is it anyway?
Apple Bloom: The Bibble... The Bi...The Blible...oh Day...The Big Book of Dumb Fabrics? Man, this author is even worse at spellin' than Scootaloo!
Scootaloo: AY.
Apple Bloom: 'Ay is for 'orses like mah brother Big Macintosh. And ah don't see a stallion snout on your face.
Sweetie Belle: Apple Bloom, that's not nice! ...wait...
Sweetie Belle: ...what's with that box?
Scootaloo: My parents sent me a package! I wanted us to open it together! Maybe even get cutie marks!
Apple Bloom: Cutie Mark Crusader Great Unboxers!
Sweetie Belle: Do you really want a cutie mark for an ability to open presents?
Apple Bloom: As long as the job keeps givin me free presents to open!
Scootaloo: That sounds like the dream job! You get your cutie mark and people keep giving you stuff! It must be how Silver Spoon lives!
Apple Bloom: ...on secon' thought, ah think ah'd rather get a cutie mark in another field...
Sweetie Belle: ...but we're in a town.
Scootaloo: ...
Applebloom: ...

>Open box with reckless abandon.
A sketch pad and a box of crawyons!!! and a note from your parents!!!
Hey Scootaloo! This is Mom and Dad! We're trying really hard to make it to you on your birthday this year, but you know how our schedule is. In case we don't make it, we wanted to make sure we knew what our little girl was up to anyway! We sent you some drawing materials. You should draw a big adventure for us, showing the stuff you do with your friends! That way, even though we don't get to see you, we'll know what our little girl is like.
Love, Mom and Dad
> You can't draw anything for your parents if you don't have an adventure to draw!
...
uh
yeah
Apple Bloom: Scootaloo? You okay?
Scootaloo: ...well...not really. I mean...my parents want to see an adventure from me, but have we ever had an adventure?
Sweetie Belle: What about that time we entered the talent show?
Scootaloo: That's not an adventure... I want to show my parents something awesome! Something that shows that I'm just as awesome as they think I am!
Apple Bloom: Aw shucks, is that all? All we gotta do is have an adventure now, right?
Sweetie Belle: Yeah! We've got nothing but time!
Scootaloo: ...you guys think we can have a Big Adventure?
Applebloom: Of course!
Scootaloo: ...yeah! What the heck was I thinking! Of course we'll have an adventure! Now we just have to think of one!

ON TO CHAPTER 2
Scootaloo's Big Adventure!!!
Chapter 1 - Quest For The Quest!
==========
> Chapter 2
You are now the Cutie Mark Crusaders. You can choose to be each Crusader, but you must wait three commands to switch to another Cutie Mark Crusader. Which Crusader will you be first, and what will you do?
> Sweetie Belle: Examine Book.
You are now Sweetie Belle. You've been helping Scootaloo with writing dialogue, and now you're thinking about what kind of adventures you three could go on. However, you've been fairly distracted by the weird book. You thought it was just an interesting book to take, even if you couldn't read the cover. It's a little unnerving...
...especially how it seemed to suddenly become readable after Apple Bloom took a good look at it. You're fairly certain it didn't say that before. You'd rather not think about it, but it's hard to ignore. It was a dumb idea to take this book.
> Check the author's notes on the inside cover for secret book fun.
You bring the book over to you and prop it against the wall. The pages are black with white features instead of the usual, and there are some author notes on the inside cover.
"Note To All Future Readers: This book has been enchanted so that even the most complex and intricate wordings would eventually simplify themselves in your eye, making anything in this book readable."
A signature follows, but is unreadable. You've never learned cursive.
> That note sounds too complicated. Just put the book down, books aren't adventure you silly pony!
You're not a genius, but you can understand what "making anything readable" means. It'd be ironic if you didn't.
...and yet that signature is still unreadable.
> This book is creepy. Let's go see if Zecora knows anything about it!
Well... *munch* While that is a good idea, you might as well wait until later. Apparently Apple Bloom had plans to go into Everfree today anyway.
> Find that the book is about fabric. The one of reality, actually. It's a spellbook for growing unicorns, full of training spells.
The foreword after the author notes seems to go into detail about magic theory, elaborating on the unicorn's innate ability to warp the fabric of reality. You know that this is incredibly boring, but honestly, you're not going to try magic without actually reading the important stuff first...though you suppose there's no real harm in speed reading, as this might take a while...
==>
You are now Scootaloo! You were about to talk to Apple Bloom about her brief trip into the Everfree Forest earlier today, but you don't know exactly WHAT to ask about. What will you ask her?
> Begin dialogue tree.
Scootaloo: ...Apple Bloom, what are you doing?
Apple Bloom: Lookin aht the spahder. Tryin ta figure out how it got there... maybe if we should get rid of it. Ah mean, it's ah creepy crawleh and all, but it does make the ceilin look more excitin than just plain wood.
Scootaloo: Yeah I don't really care about that. What I DO care about is... What were you up to with Pinkie Pie before?
Apple Bloom: Well, ah was kinda plannin a surprise party for ya, but since we're gonna be adventurin today, it'd be best if ah letcha know beforehand.
Scootaloo: Aw, thanks Apple Bloom~!
Apple Bloom: Do ah detect a hint of sweetness in your words?
Scootaloo: ...Shaddup. So Fluttershy told me that you were in the Everfree Forest earlier today!
Apple Bloom: Yeah. Ah was tryin to get a cartography cutie mark bah makin a map of the forest, but Fluttershy shooed me out before ah could get any real work done.
Scootaloo: Did you at least draw something up?
Apple Bloom: Nothin worth hangin on to.
Scootaloo: Darn... Hey, you've been in Everfree a lot because of how much you visit Zecora, right? Any idea what kinds of monsters live in there?
Apple Bloom: Well, cockatrices, obviously. There are also ursas, the Blanks, which are what ah like to call the zombie ponies that live in a certain area of Everfree, manticores, parasprites, and at least one sea serpent.
Scootaloo: ...hm...hey, ya think that if we fought one of those monsters and won, we'd have an awesome story to tell my folks!
Apple Bloom: Yeah! We just gotta choose which monster tah fight so we can be prepared!
Scootaloo: Hm... which monster...?
> Sea serpent.
>> Prepare for monster fight by getting birthday presents.
Scootaloo: Hmm... alright! I've decided that we're going to take down a sea serpent!
Apple Bloom: Well how're we gonna do that?
Scootaloo: Well first...maybe I could go get all my presents from my surprise party so I can be more prepared!
Apple Bloom: Scootaloo, no! Pinkie Pie doesn't know that you know about the party! Heck, ah didn't Pinkie Swear just because ah knew ya would've figured it out!
Scootaloo: Well... darn. Okay, I guess we can plan without new stuff... what do we have to do first?
Apple Bloom: Well, ah suppose the three things we need are how ta find a sea serpent, how ta fight a sea serpent, and how ta defend ourselves against a sea serpent.
Scootaloo: ...how would I even go about doing that?
Apple Bloom: Why the heck would ah know?
==>
Scootaloo: Hm... okay I got an idea! Apple Bloom, you can head to Zecora's place and ask her what we could use to defend ourselves... like, healing potions and stuff... Sweetie Belle can go ask Fluttershy about how we'd fight a sea serpent, since she's taken down a manticore and a dragon, and I...well, I guess I'm stuck going to Twilight's place and figuring out how to find a sea serpent. That cool with everyone?
Sweetie Belle: Yeah, that sounds fair.
Apple Bloom: ...kay.
An objective is in mind! Now which objective to follow through with first?
