A day out with Scoots

I sat in a chair at Rarity's house. Since my beard had grown back long enough to braid and Rarity insisted that she be allowed to braid it. I tried to explain to her that in Reasuian culture a man was the only one to touch his beard. I even told her that many times men would get into blood feuds with each other over the smallest offence to their beards.

And she wasn't having any of that.

I was happy when my ears stopped ringing after she complained to me to let her braid my beard for what seemed like hours. To stop myself from putting my head through my table I agreed.

" Now grab those gold beads"

" Yes Rarity."

" Now those blue ones"

" Alright Rarity"

" What about pink ones Marvil?"

"Only if you want me to jump out the window Rarity."

" No need to get huffy dear, and ...... we're done!"

she used her magic to hand me a mirrior. I grinned at my results. My beard looked beautiful! It was shiny from the oil that we had applied to it, every inch was braided and beaded. " It looks good, thanks Rarity!" She had a grin I didn't like.

Rarity was happy to help Marvil make his beard fabulous, and it didn't take as ling as she thought, only 4 hours. Am sure he wouldn't mind.... "Marvil?" Rarity asked. He looked up " Yes, miss Rarity?" She smiled" You see I've been wanting to get you some new cloths for weeks now" Marvil flinched, Rarity continued, turning her back to him to get some fabric. " Since I already have you- Marvil?" Rarity looked around, Marvil was gone. She saw him out of her window, running like he was being chased. " MARVIL!" she yelled " YOU GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!!".......

I woke with Scootaloo jumping up and down on my chest. " COME ON ,COME ON MARVIL GET UP!" I caught her as she was about to jump on my again. I put her on my bed and started to tickle her stomach, causing her to giggle uncontrollably. " Marvil... Marvil..... you promised.....that we.....would have......fun together today!"  She got out from her fits of laughter. I grinned and let her rool her on top of me and started to tickle me. " Okay okay! You win!"

In fact I had been planning our day out together just her and me for days. If I had anything to do with it she was going to have the best day of her life.

" You all ready then Scoots?" She shook her head happily " Alright then lets go to the wonderbolts preformance." Gasped. she had loved the wounderbolts almost as much as Dash." Howdidyougetticketsforthat?They'vebeensoldoutfor-" I grabbed her and carried her out of the house and to the place where they had the preformance.

Let me tell you that those tickets were damn hard to get, but being very wealthy and a big scary human had its benefits. We went to the ponyville's high school stadium where they were having it. I had gotten us front row seats, much to Scoots delight. We watched the wounderbolts for about a half a hour when the best part happened.

One of the ponies flew down and landed right next to us and Scoots had a fit. " Its Soarin! O look Marvil, shes coming right over to us!" I smiled, Rainbow had talked to the Wounderbolts that owed her a favor. I winked at Soarin and she winked back, getting to eye level with Scoots. " Hello little mare." She said and Scoots looked like she was about to pass out " Marvil told me that you were a fan of ours, and we wanted to thank you by making you a honorary member of the wounderbolts!" She produced a pair of glasses and gave them to Scootaloo. Her eyes got real big and she passed out. I grabbed her before she fell and picked her up. Both me and Soarin laughed.

" Did you hear her Marvil, I'm in the wounderbolts!" Scootaloo yelled at me. She was running around me wearing the glasses that Soarin gave her. " This is the best day never!" I laughed at her, " The day isn't over Scoots, we still have a picnic!" She happily nodded and we both went to the house and grabbed a picnic basket and a blanket. Then the both of us walked to the park.

We both were sitting enjoying each others company when someone I didn't expect came to see us. It was Scootaloo's father. When she saw him she cowered behind me. He approched us I could tell you I was couris why he was here. He looked much better than the last time I saw him. As he approched us Scoots said" W-What are you doing here dad?" Scoots asked, scared. " Y-you leave us alone. Marvil is my new dad. I don't-" " Scoots, let your dad talk. He looks like he has something to say." I told her.

Scoots dad smiled sadly at me. " Thank you Marvil." I nodded " Scootaloo" He said taking a step forward, she retreated. He stopped and looked down. " Scootaloo, I'm sorry" " W-What?" she asked, confused. " I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you. I blamed you for you moms death and I'm sorry" He said, tears in his eyes, but just as quickly they were gone and replaced with determination. " I understand that you don't want to be my daughter but I still am sorry. Marvil, thank you for what you did to me. You saved my life and made Scoots life better. Please keep an eye on her will you Marvil." I nodded my head.

Scoots looked a lot less afraid and smiled a big smile. " I forgive you dad but Marvil is my dad now. B-But I will come visit you sometimes." Her dad smiled and nodded ,walking away.

Few hours later......

Scottaloo really seemed at peace as she was on my back as I carried her home. It was dark and we were all alone. " So Scoots how was today?" I asked her, she told me happily." It was the best day ever Marvil! The only way it could get better is- what's that noise?" I heard it too. Something was moaning in pain what sounded like near the forest. I put Scoots down and had a look. " Scoots" I told her calmly as I grabbed a cut up and bleeding pony from the ground. " Get to the hospitial as fast as you can and tell them I'm bringing a pony that is very very hurt.".......
