Snap Shutter sighed, "Turns out you're just like us, Scoot. You have an important job that only you can do. You love it, and it helps all of Equestria."

Mane Allgood added, "Sometimes that means missing out on other things you love, like watching our daughter grow into a pony we're very proud of."

Snap Shutter continued, "Which is a long way to say... Scoot, if you want to stay, we understand."

Scootaloo, tears welling in her eyes, gasped, "Really?! Thanks, Dad! Thanks, Mom!"

Wheeeeeeeee!!!

"The train!" said Snap.

"We've got to go!" added Mane.

"You're not going anywhere!"

Everypony looked in shock at Mayor Mare.

"What do you mean?" asked a confused Mane.

"You two are facing some serious charges. Twelve counts of foal endangerment from bringing a cragadile to Ponyville Elementary. If convicted, you'll be spending a very long time in Ponyville Jail then on local parole."

The scene became quiet.

"Well...," began Apple Bloom. "Ah guess everything worked out in the end."

The Last Crusade is on today in an hour. This just came to mind.
