"WOAH!"

CRASH! BASH! BANG!

"My word!"

"Urg!"

"Scootaloo?"

"Scoots!"

Two fillies ran to the newly made hole in Carousel Boutique.

"Oh sweet apple sauce! Scoots are yah okay?" Applebloom frantically asked.

"Darling, are you hurt?" Rarity brushed the dirt and dust off the small pegasus.

"Urhh. Y-yeah. I'm fine. I've taken to worse." Scootaloo got up from the rubble.

"Just like your mother." Rarity chuckled. "Oh, by the way dear, how did this happen?"

"Erm..."

"Let me guess, a stunt?"

"Eeyup." Applebloom replied.

"With Pinkie's super special propeller!" Sweetie looked around at the debris of bricks and plaster. "Err, Rarity?"

"Yes Sweetie Belle."

"How are you going to fix...all this?"

"Hmm. Oh I'll just ask Big Mac."

"Ah will ask him for yah. Ah've got ta go now. Granny Smith is makin apple pie. See ya later crusaders, see ya later Rarity." The filly earth pony ran off, down the path.

"I think it's time for you to go too, Scootaloo."

"Okay Rarity. I'm sorry for ruining your wall. Bye Sweetie Belle!"

"Hmm hm hmm hmmm!" Scootaloo hummed as she approached her house.

Since she was reunited with her mother, Rainbow Dash, they made some cloud steps up to the house. Seeing as Scootaloo couldn't properly fly yet.

She opened the front door, but as she did, she heard talking.

"Rainbow, I'm sorry for flying off the other day. I-I-it's just that-."

"I know Soarin. You don't to hide anymore."

Scootaloo quietly closed the door and crept to the front room.

"To be honest, I never thought about having another...special...somepony." Rainbow's expression dropped.

Soarin placed his arm around her.
"Hey, it's okay. It's all in the past."

"I know, I know. It's just that, so much happened in my past. I hear others saying 'oh I was bullied in my foalhood' and 'I hated being young', but they had the best. To be free. To...to have a loving family." Rainbow began to cry.

Soarin hugged her closer.

"Don't cry."

"I've never told anypony my past. To tell every grueling detail just makes me want to vomit. I just cannot believe I went through it."

"Well, at least it's over."

"I wish it was."

"How do you mean?"

"It's Scootaloo. I love her. I cherish her. But just looking at her reminds me of him."

"Her father?"

"Yes. I look at her and remember what he did to me. He nearly killed me, for Celestia sake."

Rainbow looked up at Soarin.

"But she's not him. She's a strong, caring, independent and loyal young mare."

Scootaloo walked over to her room. Where she began to come up with conclusions.
"Three little words. I...love...you. I..love you. That's what mum had been going on about. They....must love each other."

A picture of her, Rainbow and Soarin sitting together bloomed in her mind.

Rainbow looked up at the clock.
"Scootaloo should be home by now." She then looked at the door, where a small scooter leaned against it.

"Where is she? I would like to know the young filly, seeing as we are now...." Soarin got up.

Rainbow looked over to him, and gently smiled.

She and Soarin trotted towards Scootaloo's bedroom.

Scootaloo lay on her bed asleep with her covers turned over and ruffled, crayons everywhere and a piece of paper on her head.

Soarin picked up the paper as Rainbow removed the crayons and pulled the covers over her daughter.

As they walked out and closed the door, they looked at the picture.

A small orange pegasus filly with purple hair, sat in-between a cyan blue pegasus mare with a rainbow mane, and a light blue pegasus stallion with midnight blue hair.

"Applebloom! Sweetie Belle!"

An orange pegasus ran up to small wooden house, placed on a tree.

"Applebloom! Sweetie Belle! Guess what?" The excited filly burst through the door.

"Rainbow an Soarin are tagether. Ya we know."

"Yeah! Wait, what?! How do you know?"

"We saw them in town. Me, Applebloom, Rarity and Applejack, walked through the town centre. And then-."

"Why were you in town?" Scootaloo was confused. Rarity and Applejack walking through town. Together. Without fighting. Now that can't be possible.

"Ah know wha ya thinkin. They needed ta talk about tha Gala."

"Ah-hem! As I was saying before I was rudely interupted." Sweetie glared at Scootaloo. "We were walking through town, when we saw Rainbow and Soarin walking as well. Both their tails were wrapped around each other. It was sooo cute."

"Now yah might have a mum an a dad." Applebloom hugged Scootaloo. "Unlike me though."

Scootaloo retreated from the hug. "Hey it's okay. As long as you have somepony. You've got Applejack, Big Mac and Granny Smith."

"And all the others!"

"Yeah. Thanks girls. Good luck with ya new dad, Scoots."

"So darlings, I guess you like the masterpieces I made for you for the Gala, then?" Rarity asked.

"Oh yes beautiful. My dress at the last Gala was so pretty as well. It was such a shame it got ruined." Fluttershy sipped at her tea.

Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were sitting outside the Dandelion Cafe. Discussing the Gala, since it is in a couple of weeks time.

"They are mighty fine, Rarity." Applejack said.

"Mighty fine? They are bloody gorgeous!" Twilight yelled.

"Yeah! They are superduperabsulotelyfantasticlyawesomelyamazingly..." Pinkie bounced around the table.

Applejack leaned over to Rarity.
"Ah don't tink this is gonna anywhere."

"Yes, I agree." Rarity replied.

"..incrediblymarvouslybrilliantlyvibrantly! And breathe." Pinkie fell onto the floor panting.

Twilight and Fluttershy giggled.

Fluttershy looked behind her. She nudged Twilight.

"Oh, what is it?" She also looked behind her.

"Well, by Celestia's beard, Rainbow has got hitched." Applejack laughed.

"Applejack! That is no way to describe a relationship." Rarity huffed.

"I'm surprised she is not hyped up about Soarin being a Wonderbolt."

"Well that's the magic of love. It doesn't matter what they do or what's happened in their past, it's what they think about each other. How much they think of each other."

"Awww, Fluttershy. That was so sweet."

"Err, where's Pinkie?"

"Soo?"

"So what?"

"Soo what are you doing tonight?" Soarin question.

"Nothing special."

"Really?"

"Okay, maybe something."

"Oh, what's that?" Soarin asked surprised.

"Being with you, silly." Rainbow teased.

"Aww, you two are soooo sweet."

"AH! Pinkie!"

"Dashie!"

"What is it Pinkie?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to say congratulations. You two love-birds are so sweet." Pinkie gasped. "You know what this calls for?"

"Let me guess...a par-"

"A parttteee!!" Pinkie skipped away.

"She's...something." Soarin laughed.

"That's Pinkie Pie. She is so random." Rainbow began muttering.

"Rainbow?"

"Party."

"Party?"

"What's the biggest party in Equestria?"

"The Gala?"

"Yep. The Gala."

"Oh the Gala. Oh no, the Gala."

"What is it Soarin?"

"I haven't got a suit. I can't wear my Wounderbolt suit, that would be stupid."

"What's that dear? You don't have suit for the Gala. Now we can't have that, can we?" Rarity trotted towards them.

"Your name is...Rarity, right?"

"Yes dear. Now about that suit. I can't have one of my friend's special somepony going to the Gala without a suit. Especially after she saved me from plummeting to the ground."

"Rarity, I said you don't have to pay anything back."

"Well I'm still going to make a suit for this fine gentle-pony. I am the element of generousity for a reason, you know. TTFN dears. Ta-ta for now."

"She seemed nice."

"Just don't get on the wrong side of her, or you will be in for it." Rainbow scoffed. "Oh, and don't meantion Tom."

"Tom?"

"It's a loooong story."
