*Scootaloo POV*

Why was she here?

There she was, sitting on the smooth wood floor of the clubhouse, waiting for her friend Apple Bloom to show up so they could crusade, something in which they hadn't done in a while. It had been a couple weeks since their last adventure together. And since then their little group has expanded QUITE a bit.

First of all Button Mash was forced into the group by a prolonged Sweetie Belle, growling out the words: "COME ON BUTTON!!! IT WILL BE FUN!!!"
Nopony really knew why he was denying the offer. Even if he didn't really CARE about earning himself a cutie mark, he CERTAINLY wouldn't object to an offer to spend some time with his new found friends. Speaking of which, why was he so distant from everyone? He was sitting in a corner of the clubhouse, quietly tapping away on the contraption of his. But he didn't seem into the game like he usually was...... so why did he keep playing? He didn't even get up when Sweetie Belle called his name to get his cape, congratulations form, and other CMC items. He just seemed to freeze, not even moving his hooves to play his game. In fact, Sweetie Belle had to walk all the way over to his corner to HAND him his stuff. He was acting weird......

Although..... he was a pretty weird kid.....

Anyways, moving away from that...... Dinky Doo, daughter of Carrot Top, also joined! But she was only a small increase. There was a whole entire LIST of classmates who joined!
Scootaloo walked over to the pedestal, grabbing the list of ponies who were here and not here.

Ruby Pinch

Button Mash

Silver Spoon

Sketch

Scootaloo

Rumble

Nickie Rock

Sweetie Belle

Dinky Doo

Scrunchie Flip

Apple Bloom

Scootaloo couldn't help but peer down at the last name. Apple Bloom still wasn't here..... why? She must be really upset about the whole Pip and Sweetie incident....
Scootaloo looked among the room, all foals sitting and doing there own thing. All except for Apple Bloom......

It was so stuffy in this jacket! Scootaloo could barely breath! But it was better than having her friends see her forelegs.......

"OH MY CELESTIA SKETCH!!! WILL YOU SHUT UP!!!" A white pegusas filly shouted.

Sketch merely rolled his eyes and went back to his book. "I read out loud ok?!" He grumbled.

"Ya! And it's SUPER annoying!!! Can't you like, READ IN YOUR HEAD maybe?!"

"I like to do the character voices!" He glanced at Nickie, scrunching up his face. Then, he smiled before saying in a scratchy voice:

"YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IT YET. BUT YOU ARE ABOUT TO START PASSING OUT BUNNIES LIKE THEY’RE CHEAP CIGARS. IT’S GOING TO BE AN EMBARRASSING DISPLAY!"

"UGGGGGHHHHHH! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID ANIME REFERENCES!!!!!" Nickie growled, flipping back her pink and brown mane.

"OK! First of all, Homestuck is NOT an ANIME!!! I don't know WHY everyone thinks that!! Second of all, HOW COULD YOU NOT LIKE HOMESTUCK????"

The two kept bickering on and on and ON! Scootaloo didn't even know HALF of what they were talking about, and frankly, she didn't CARE!!!

"Will you two stop arguing?...... if that's ok with you....." Fluttershy's cousin, Scrunchie Flip, asked politely. The girl was always home schooled and surprisingly.... a unicorn! She tossed her blonde hair out of her face and gave a weak smile to her friends.

"WE'RE NOT ARGUING!!!!!" Nickie screeched as she threw herself face to face with the light orange filly.

"Face it Nicks...... We're arguing....." Sketch replied scrunching up his nose.

"WE ARE NOT!!!! AND DON'T CALL ME NICKS!!!!!!" Nickie wailed, her hair getting messier than it already was.

"YES WE ARE!!!"

"NOT WE AREN'T!!!!

"YES WE ARE!!!!"

"NO WE AREN'T!!!!"

"YES WE-"

"Will you guys stop!!!! You're arguing over the sake of whether or not you're arguing!!!!!! AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!!!!!" Dinky shouted out of the blue, resulting in a few giggles from the rest of the room. Sketch and Nickie Rock just glared at each other.

Suddenly, before anyone could say anything about it.... Discord randomly teleported into the room, right above Nickie.

"And what fun is there in MAKING SENSE?" Discord chortled and Nickie screeched, jumping away from under the creature.

"DISCORD YOU CREEP!!!!" Sweetie Belle screamed, tossing a dictionary at the draconequus. But Discord merely used his magic to create a hole in his stomach, and the dictionary flew right on through. Scrunchie gagged at the sight and everyone else glared at the hulking creature.

"What? I can't have a little fun?" Discord asked, chuckling to himself. His response was everypony in the room shaking their heads.

"Ugh fine! I'm leaving!" He sighed before teleporting away.

Everyone seemed to calm down after that, and continued with their small talk. Nickie and Sketch finally stopped arguing at least...

~Where is Apple Bloom?! This meeting was supposed to start 15 minutes ago!~ Scootaloo jeered in her mind. She couldn't help but fill herself with worry, not only about Apple Bloom..... But about her...... arms.....

Scootaloo rolled up one of her purple sleeves secretly. She stared at the thin ,red lines rolling across her forelegs. Would they notice? She quickly rolled down her sleeve before anyone did...

"Erm...... Hey guys....." A country voice chimed from the doorway. The whole room went quiet and nopony spoke at all. They just stared at the innocent red haired filly, whom was wearing her pink fabric as a bandana once again.

Sweetie Belle was the first to chime up. "Apple Bloom? Is..... everything..... okay?"

Scootaloo knew she was referencing to the moment when Apple Bloom ran away crying on Friday, and her disappearance for a while. She couldn't help but wonder about the same things.

"Um......"

"Her granny died......" Ruby burst out with.

"RUBY!!!" Dinky shouted, shooting Ruby a deadly glare.

"Well someone has to tell them!"

Everyone could plainly see tears stinging Apple Bloom's eyes. "It.... It's ok....... Ah'....." She cut herself off. She was shaking like crazy!

Scootaloo immediately walked down the steps to the podium and trotted over to her friend. She threw her arms around the yellow filly, and everyone followed. Even Button Mash walked over to join in the group hug! Apple Bloom smiled and hugged everyone back.

"Thanks ya' guys...... That helps....." She said, breaking the huddle apart.

"Well.... Now that everyone's here...." Sweetie Belle started, heading towards the podium.

"Cutie Mark Crusaders meeting is adjourned!!! Please sit in the beanbags provided by Silver Spoon!"

Everyone did as they were told and Silver blushed a bit before saying, "Oh.... It wasn't that big of a deal...."

The bean bags were arranged in a half circle facing the podium. Scootaloo chose the black one at the far right, near the door. Bad choice..... The early August heat poured through the open door like a sauna.

"Ok to begin the meeting, we will go over some rules and regulations, since most of you are new to the group! Ok first of all, the most dangerous crusading acts are ALWAYS last!"

Nickie groaned, receiving an elbow in the ribs from Dinky. "Quiet!" She screamed in a hushed whisper.

"First rule: If you HAVE a cutie mark, you are NOT a cutie mark crusader! You may sit during the meetings and hang out, even participate in some activities if you like. But you may NOT try to urge one on to the point of restlessness. And you MAY NOT give ponies ideas for their cutie marks!
Second rule: If you DON'T have your cutie mark, you have to participate in EVERY SINGLE CRUSADE! The ONLY ways out is if you are sick, injured, or have a medical issue with the required task. If you try to OVER USE these abilities, you will receive one strike. If you get 3 strikes, you are OUT of the club!
Third rule: You may not hurt blah blah blah blah....."

Scootaloo couldn't help but not focus. She had already heard the rules a billion times! After all, SHE WROTE THEM!

She stared out the door, at the blue sky, at the birds...... how she wished she could join them......

"Hey!" A scratchy voice whispered next to her. Scootaloo didn't even realize that there was someone next to her!

She turned to see the same colt that sat next to him in class. Rumble.... That was his name! His eyes were purple just like hers. His coat was grey and his hair was slicked up and black. He was a pegasus just like her, but he could fly......

"Why are you wearing a jacket? It's like.... 80 degrees outside!" He asked quietly.

Scootaloo froze.... What should she do? She couldn't tell the truth... She barely knew him as it is!!

"I'm not that hot...." Scootaloo lied. She was literally dying from heat in this stupid thing.

"Yeah right! Look! You're sweating!" Rumble pointed out, causing Scootaloo to blush.

"WHY ARE YOU POINTING THAT OUT YOU B******!?!?!!?" Scootaloo scream-whispered.

Rumble winced at the angry filly. "Jeez! You don't have to get so angry!!!! I just want to know why you are wearing that thing in the ending of summer!!!"

"None of your BUSINESS!!" Scootaloo hissed.

"Come on! TELL ME!!!"

"NO!!!!"

"YES!!!"

"NOOO!!!!!"

"PLEASE?!?!"

"I SAID F***ING NO!!!!"

"WILL YOU TWO STOP FLIRTING AND PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!" A squeaky voice from the front screeched.

Both Rumble and Scootaloo's faces darkened at that statement, and the rest of the group snickered.

"Ok..... NOW AS I WAS SAYING!!! Today we will be trying babysitting, modeling, and bungee jumping!"

Everyone hooted and hollered at that. The newbies were all so excited about the thrill of trying to earn their cutie marks. And so were Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo! It really HAD been a long time since they had a meeting!

~*~*~*~

"OH MY CELESTIA!!! WILL YOU STOP CRYING PLEASE?!?!?!"

The group had traveled to the Ponyvile baby center to volunteer. The baby center was where parents dropped of their baby to be taken care of. It is quite expensive! And once the baby is allowed in daycare, they will not take them. The babies were so cute and soft! But as it turned out, taking care of these BRATS was harder than it looked!!

"RUBY!?!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY SIT ON THE BABY!!!!!!"

"Oops.... my bad..."

"QUICK SCOOTALOO! HAND ME THAT DIAPER!!"

"WHAT DIAPER??!!?"

"THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE GAME BABYSITTING 101!!!!!! Not that I would actually play it...."

"Awwww! Ya' are so adora- HEY!!!! SHE PUKED ON ME!!!!!!"

"LET GO OF MY GLASSES!!!!!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

~*~*~*~

Long story short.... they were soon kicked out..... After that Sweetie Belle took the group to Rarity's house to try modeling!

"THIS DRESS IS STUFFY!!"

"DO I HAVE TO WEAR A WIG?!?"

"I NEED TO PEE!!"

"WHEN'S LUNCH?!"

"THESE HIGH HEELS HURT!!!"

"EWWW SKETCH STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!!!"

"QUIT BUMPING INTO ME!!!!"

~*~*~*~

*Sweetie Belle POV*

Who knew you could get kicked out of your own house? Heh heh heh....

Sweetie Belle walked across town, tugging along a heavy wagon full of bungee jumping supplies. Maybe this would have been easier if SOMEPONY would get OFF their GAME!

"Button Mash! Could you get off your game for once and HELP ME?!" She jeered, stopping in her tracks completely.

The rest of the group was already at the cliff. They all had played rock paper scissors to see who would pull the wagon. (Wait a minute..... how does a pony play......oh nevermind) When the results were Sweetie Belle and Button Mash, Button did NOT look happy! He didn't say anything.... but the word was spread all over his face like peanut butter on bread. The word 'fear' to be exact. Sweetie didn't know why he had that expression.... It didn't make sense! What was he afraid of?

"Um..... fine...." Button muttered, putting the Joyboy in the wagon. He walked up to the front of the cart where he hesitated.

"Come on!! HELP ME ALREADY!!!" Sweetie groaned, grabbing the wagon handle. ~WHAT IS UP WITH HIM LATELY!!! He's so.... distant.... Is he sick? No... that couldn't be it.... Is he alright?~

Her face softened, and she looked at Button directly in the eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked aloud, causing Button to turn away.

"I'm fine....." He said softly. Lies.... He was obviously lying as far as Sweetie could tell. He grabbed the handle of the wagon, and Sweetie joined. She knew he was just trying to avoid conversation, but she would not regard to stop talking!

"Are you sure? You seem upset-," She was cut off by Button whirling around, a scowl on his face.

"I'm FINE okay?!" He snapped, which only made Sweetie Belle worry even more! Her eyes pleading, but sad, and her lips curled down, she kept on asking about it, afraid of the worst.

"B-Button..... What's wrong? Are you angry at me?" She asked worryingly.

"NO!! COULD YOU PLEASE JUST DROP IT!!"

"BUT I WANT TO HELP YOU!!"

"THERE IS NOTHING TO HELP!!! JUST STOP!!!!"

Sweetie flinched at the sudden shout. Sure, she had raised her voice, but now he was shouting at her! She didn't even know what got him in this peculiar mood in the first place! Button sighed and looked at his hooves.

"Look I'm sorry I yelled..... I just.... have a lot going on...." He mumbled, his cheeks fading into a light pink.

This didn't answer her question! She was about to ask again, but one of the CMC's interrupted her train of thought.

"MY CELESTIA! Wha' took ya' guys so long?!" Apple Bloom asked, heading over to the cart to help pull.

~*~*~*~

After setting up, the 11 foals stood at the edge of the stone bridge, suddenly not sure to jump or not.

"Erm... SCRUNCHIE! Why don't you go? Your into this type of stuff right?" Dinky assured, pushing the skinny filly forward.

"Yoga is a lot different than bungee jumping!!!" She whisper-screamed.

"Well.... how about Nicky?" Sketch provided. "Or Scootaloo?.... Or Rumble?"

"DON'T DRAG ME INTO THIS!!!" The three exclaimed at the same time.

"But you guys are like, athletes!!"

"BUNGEE JUMPING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ATHLETIC ABILITYS!!!!" Scootaloo scolded.

"YEAH! The only thing that matters is body weight!" Nicky implied, turning towards the pink unicorn next to her. "That means, YOU go first!!"

"ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?!!?!?" Ruby screamed, ready to punch the living daylights out of Nicky.

"WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF!!! Ugh.... Me and Button will go first!!"

"WHAT!?!!?!?"

"Oh come on Button! It's not that big of a drop!"

"YES IT IS!!!! I'M GONNA F***ING DIE!!!!!"

"I AM NOT GOING ALONE BUTTON!!"

"WELL I'M NOT GOING!!!!

"Button!! Just do it!!" Rumble jeered.

"YEAH DO IT!!!" Dinky screamed.

"Do it..... if you want to...." Scrunchie mumbled.

"OH FER' TA' LOVE OF-.... JUS' DO IT!!!!!" Apple Bloom groaned, eying the colt.

"Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!" The group cheered on.

"OK! OK!!! I'LL DO IT YOU A**HOLES!!!"

The group didn't care about the insult, and cheered in response. They screamed things like "Yeah you can do it!" or "We believe in you!" or "Just don't die okay?"

The two stepped up on the small wall that blocked the group from the ditch. Peering down, Button couldn't see the bottom.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WASN'T THAT BIG OF A DROP!!!" He yelled, petrified in his spot.

"I thought it wasn't......." She squeaked, face even whiter than before! (If that's even possible)

They both gulped and eyed their 'equipment', then the ditch once more.

"D-don't worry! W-we could do i-it t-together!" Sweetie stammered, holding out her hoof for Button to grab onto.

Button eyed the hoof suspiciously. Sweetie could see that every part of his body said "NO!!!" yet his mouth spoke nothing.

"B-but what i-if the cables b-break!?!?!"

"That wont happ-"

"What if we get stuck?!?!"

"How would we get-"

"We don't have to do this!!!!"

"What about our cu-"

"Cutie marks are overrated!!! I don't really care about mine!!!"

"Look Button.... Unless you want to be a homeless hobo with no purpose in life, I suggest you jump with me...."

"But what if-"

"Button...."

"What will-"

"BUTTON....."

"Will we-"

"BUTTO-ahhhhAHHHHHHHH!!!" Sweetie screamed, feeling herself lurch forward and off the wall, grabbing a hold of his hoof as she tumbled down. His face automatically flushed deep red.

"S-Sweetie Belle?!?" He started, letting go of her, but it was too late. He was snatched off his perch and fell down alongside the white unicorn.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

They both SCREAMED as they surged down and flung back up in dismay. "NICKY!!!! WHY DID YOU PUSH HER?!?!?!" Sweetie heard from above.

"Wait a minute..... THIS IS FUN!!!" Sweetie screeched, delighted. "WEEEEEEEE!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SOMEPONY HELP!!!!!!!" Button wailed, flailing his arms and legs this way and that.

"Button calm down!!! It isn't so bad!!!" Sweetie Belle shouted over his girly screams.

"CAN YOU SEE THEM?!" Someone above said. "EYNOPE!!!!" Somepony else replied.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Button!! Calm d-....." Sweetie Belle was immediately cut off by a brown colt grabbing her body, holding onto her as tightly as he could.

"....B......Button?" Sweetie whispered, her face growing hot for some reason..... His face was as dark a a beet though....

"Don't let go......." He whispered, obviously on the brim of tears.

This was weird..... Sweetie didn't even notice the bungee jump slow down and stop. They were both dangling in air, his arms strewn around her. She couldn't see his face though..... It was buried in her chest.... He was afraid for his life! But there was something about his embrace that caused her heart to feel so strange..... It never had felt this way before, about anything!!!

"Hey..... HE STOPPED SCREAMING!!!!"

"AND THEY STOPPED BOUNCING!!!!"

"PULL EM' UP! PULL EM' UP!!!!"

Sweetie drowned out the world around her as she felt herself and Button being hoisted up. She didn't know what was happening to her! WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HER?!?!
This was confusing on so MANY levels! She felt as if she wanted to soar away, although she didn't have wings.....

"Sweetie Belle....." A soft voice whipered in front of her.

"Sweetie Belle..... SWEETIE BELLE!?!!?!?" Scootaloo shouted from in front of her.

Sweetie wasn't hanging on a thread anymore.... She wasn't in Buttons grasp..... She was up on the bridge, sprawled on her stomach, her bungee cord already taken off of her body.

"Wha-..... What?" She groaned drearily, snapping to attention.

"OH THANK CELESTIA! I thought you were dead!" Sketch uttered.

"She wasn't dead you dumba**." Nicky snapped.

"Well DUH-HOI!!! Why do you think?! SHE IS talking!"

Nicky rolled her eyes and turned to the filly in question. "Are you ok? When we pulled you two up, Button was stuck to you like a MAGNET! Haha WUSS!!!" She taunted, shifting her eyes to the brown colt.

"SHUT UP!! I WAS THE FIRST TO JUMP OFF!!!" Button pointed out.

"Technically.... you were second..... exactly 3.27 seconds after Sweetie Belle!" Silver Spoon corrected.

The whole group turned to look at the grey filly. "How..... did ya' know that?" Apple Bloom asked, searching for words.

Silvers face flushed a light pink, and stared at her hooves. "I.... Uh..... Lucky guess?" She murmured.

"Well...... Anyways......" Rumble started, causing all eyes to fall on Sweetie Belle once again.

"Well...... How was it?" Scrunchie asked shyly.

Before anyone could say anything else, Sweetie jumped in the air. "IT WAS SO COOL!!!!!" She shrieked, the group gasping in alarm.

Then, before you could say 'SHIP IT LIKE FED-EX!!!' the 9 other foals took off for the wagon, eager to try bungee jumping out.

"ME FIRST!"

"NO ME!!"

"OUT OF THE WAY FAT A**!!"

"CALL ME FAT ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL CUT OF YOUR HEAD, AND PUT IT ON A STICK!!!!!"

~*~*~*~

*Scootaloo POV*

"Oh come on guys! I didn't mean it!" Ruby exclaimed, chasing after her friends, who were now deathly terrified of her.

Scootaloo stared up at the sky, which now sprouted tints of orange and pink. Although most of it was covered by dark clouds.... After all the chaos and bungee jumping, NONE of the CMC's earned their cutie marks! Sure, Scrunchie was relatively good at babysitting, and Sweetie Belle took after her sister in modeling, AND DON'T EVEN GET STARTED ON NICKY AND HER BUNGEE JUMPING SKILLS!
But, being good at something does NOT make it your special talent! There are many other factors, Scootaloo knew. After all, she had been in this club for 4 years....
Scootaloo could remember when she was 9 years old, and they had formed that little club for fun and adventure. At first, it wasn't a big deal. But then, they started getting older.... And the older they got, the more taunting the bullies would give off. Scootaloo sometimes wondered if she would EVER earn her cutie mark..... she was already 13! And, in a few weeks.... 14!!!!

But, that wasn't the only problem.... Not only was she mark-less, but she couldn't fly, her parents were dead, her brother was CELESTIA knows where, and to top it all of..... no one she knew loved her..... Sure she had friends but, it wasn't the same.... True love, could only be shared by A true love, like family or lovers. But Scootaloo didn't have either of those things..... Face it.... No one loved her....

Scootaloo could feel the tears welling in her eyes, as she landed her gaze from the sky back to her arms once again. But right before she could sob to herself, Rumble showed up.... ~F***ing nosy little.....~

"Scootaloo....?" The little pegasus mumbled.

"G-go away....." Scootaloo let out slowly.

"Scootaloo? What...... Are you....... Why are you sad?" He stumbled over his words and moved closer to the shivering filly.

"GO AWAY....." She said louder, and more stern.

"Scootaloo.... I-."

"GO AWAY!!!!" She shrieked, getting the attention of the rest of the gang. Before she realized what she was doing, Scootaloo was running as fast as her little legs could carry her.

Run, run away....
They will not see you cry today....
The rain will pour down and hard....
But always know, that I will be in your heart...

Scootaloo could feel herself sobbing as there was a sudden flash of lightning and clap of thunder. The rain started in small sprinkles, but soon turned into heavy drops. But she didn't care, she kept running.

"Mommy? What is this?" A small orange 4 year old asked.

"Oh...... that...." The lighter orange mare mumbled, eying the crumpled paper in her daughters hoof.

"I wrote that when I was younger, I was really sad...." The mother half smiled, sitting on the bed next to the little filly.

"Why were you sad?" The tiny foal looked up at her mother, upset.

"Oh... Nothing really.... I just got very lonely....."

"What is lan-lah?"

The mother couldn't help but giggle at the filly's pronunciation. "Lonely means that you feel alone and you want some one to love you...."

"Well.... I wuv you mommy....." The mare looked at the girl, and hugged her contently.

"I love you too, Scootsy.... I promise I will always stay with you....."

Scootaloo screamed aloud and ran, her little legs shooting with pain. She kept going.

"BUT MOMMY!!!! YOU PROMISED!!!!!" Scootaloo sobbed, sitting next to her mother at the hospital, on her death bed.

"I know Scootsy, I know...... But I can't fight anymore..... I just cant..... I'm sorry....." The yellow haired pegasus mumbled.

"YOU PROMISED THAT YOU WOULD STAY WITH ME!!!!" The now 6 year old child chocked through tears.

"I-I know...... And I'm not breaking that promise....."

"Huh?" The filly looked up at her mother.

"I..... I will always be with you..... in your heart...... I love you Scootsy....."

"I love you too mom!!" Scootaloo cried.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP............

"M-mom? Mommy?! MOM?! MOMMY?!?!"

MOOOOOOOMMMMYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

Scootaloo cried out, falling to the ground, smothered in sobs. She couldn't run anymore..... She was done......

Suddenly she felt her self being jerked up by one of her forearms.

"SCOOTALOO STOP!!!!" Rumble shouted, pulling on her arm.

Scootaloo didn't stop. Instead she yanked her arm out of his firm grip. Bad choice..... Her sleeve flung up her arm, revealing the mess of it. Immediately she pulled her sleeve back down. But it was too late.....

Rumble stopped, his eyes wide and face aghast. He grabbed her arm once again, and pulled the sleeve back up. Scootaloo fought against it, but now he knew everything......

Cuts...... There were cuts up and down her arm.......
