Twimom pt.2 Scoots X Anon

>It’s been a month and a half since you moved into your new home.
>And you’d be lying if you said it hasn’t been fun but stressful.
>Looking for a job and taking care of Scoots has taken most of your willpower.
>But you have to pull through.
>For her.
>These purple walls are all you’ve seen for the past week and you need out.
>It’s too hot for a walk.
>But it is hot enough to go for a swim.
>You walk upstairs to see Scootaloo going through the last few boxes that you were too lazy to unpack.
“Hey Scoots.”
>”Oh, hey Anon. What’s up?”
“I was thinking maybe we could go do something. We’ve been cooped up in this house for a week and a change of scenery would be nice.”
>She stops looking through the box and hops onto the bed.
>”I would but...it’s way too hot to do anything.”
“How about some swimming.”
>Her ears perk up and she fidgets excitedly.
>“Swimming?”
“Sure why not, we haven’t done anything as a couple in a while .”
>”I guess you’re right, we haven't been on a date in like three weeks. So when are going?”
“How about now?”
>Seeing her in such an excited mood gives you the heart warming smile that you’ve needed.
>It’s times like these that remind you what you live for.
>She goes downstairs and you get ready.
>You put on a t-shirt and some shorts, grab a small radio and some towels and head downstairs.
“Lets go.”
>The two of you walk outside and are immediately hit with a wave of heat.
>It must suck to have fur in times like this.
“Dammit Tia, could you turn down the sun just a tiny bit?”
>You know it doesn’t work like that but maybe if you asked nice enough something would happen.
 >”You’re silly, you know that?”
>She lets out a giggle and skips down the road in front of you.
“I’ve never seen you so excited. What’s the big deal with swimming?”
>She turns around and give you a smile that could rival Pinkie’s.
>”Well to you or anypony else nothing… but for me,  it’s an excuse to finally use these..”
>She spreads out her wings and gives them a little flap before returning them to their natural folded position.
>”It’s somewhere I can actually ‘fly’ so to speak.”




>The two of you reach the small pond just outside of ponyville.
>Scootaloo dives straight in using her wings to gracefully glide under the surface.
>You set up the the towels and take a seat at the edge of the water.
>”You’re not gonna jump in?”
“I will but, I just wanted to enjoy being outside and think for a little bit.”
>”I think you’ve done a little too much of that, spending that much time in your own head can get pretty scary, but if that’s how you want to relax I won’t stop you.”
>She dives back into the water and you catch a small frown on her face.
>Dammit Anon, cheer up dude.
>She needs this vacation and so do you.
>You reach over and turn on the small battery powered radio.

>The chorus gets you thinking.
>What is it about Scootaloo that makes you smile?
>Her attitude, her personality?
>Maybe it’s that you want to protect her from how harsh the world has been to her.
>Or maybe you just want to see her succeed and be happy for once.
>A splash makes you sit up and ruins your train of thought.
> You look around to see Scootaloo using her wings to fling water at you.
>”Come on and hop in, it’s lonely in here with just me.”
>You take off your shirt and jump in.
>The two of you swim around for a bit before you decide to get payback for her splashing.
>You cup your hands together leaving a little space between your thumbs.
“Hey Scoots look what I found.”
>You try your best to hide the evil grin spreading across your face.

>She quickly swims over to see what the excitement is about.
>”What is it?”
>You push your hands out towards her, preparing your sides for what’s going to happen.
“You gotta look closer.”
>She leans in.
>”I still don’t see anything.”
“Closer.”
>She leans in till she’s about six inches from your hands.
>You quickly push your hands together causing a jet of water to nail her right between the eyes.
>She reels back in surprise and lets out a laugh.
>”Ahh...alright.. if that’s how we’re gonna play, then game on.”
>This starts a fifteen minute splash fight.
>After the war of the water is over you both crawl out of the pond utterly exhausted.
>Wow, it’s gotten colder while you were in the water.
>You see Scootaloo with her hooves over her mouth trying not to lose her mind laughing.
>”Umm...Anon, your shorts.”
>You look down to see Anon Jr. standing steadfast against the wind.
>Quick Anon think of something!
“Y-you too.”
>You smooth mother fucker.
>After retrieving your shorts and the little dignity you have left you start to follow Scoots back home.
>You’re about halfway there when she decides to break the silence.
>”You’ve got a cute butt… not as cute as mine but still, not bad.”
>She starts to sway her hips for emphasis.
“It’s not cute dammit...my ass is manly.”
>”Oh, is that what you call it?”
>You chase her the rest of the way home.

>Luckily she gets into the house before you and runs up stairs.
>You chase her around the house.
>You never had this much fun as a kid.
>Usually you sat inside pretending to study or would wrestle with Scoots whenever she was over.
>She’s older than you so of course she always won.
>Eventually she tires out and runs to the bedroom.
>When you get upstairs she’s laying on her back in the middle of the bed.
>You muster up your best villain voice.
“Haha I’ve finally got you cornered.”
>”Oh no Anon, please no.”
>She talks in a flat monotone voice.
“Come on, it’s no fun if you’re gonna be like that.”
>You crawl onto the bed over her and give her a light kiss on the lips.
>”Oh i’m sorry let me try again.”
>She spouts an evil grin.
>”What are we going to do on the bed, Anon?”
>Her voice was high pitched and quivering trying to hold back laughter.
“I love and hate you so much.”
>”I know.”
>You give her another kiss, eliciting a small giggle from her.
>”So what ‘are’ we gonna do?”
 >She wraps her wings around your back.
“That depends what you want to-”
>DING-DONG!!
>Damn doorbell.
>The first intimate moment you’ve had with Scoots in a while.
>And a stupid button on your doorstep ruined it.
>You get off of Scootaloo with a disheartened sigh and walk to the door.
>You open the door and see a small white unicorn.
>"Hello Anon, is Scootaloo here?"

"What do you want Sweetie, if I remember correctly you didn't want to be associated with her.”
>She looks up at you with remorseful green eyes.
>SB:"...Well...I-I wanted to apologize, even if she doesn't accept it, it's something I need to do."
"I have a lot I could say but your redemption is up to her. Scoots come down here, somepony wants to talk to you."
>After a few seconds you hear the clip clop of hooves on the steps.
>S:"Who is- oh it’s you."
>The white mare lets out a nervous chuckle
>SB:"Hey Scoots, how ya been?"
>You can tell Scoots is holding back.
>But after the fight they had, you're surprised she can.
>S:"Fine till you showed up."
>You could see Sweetie Belle's heart drop at the remark.
>SB:"That's...good to hear but I-I'm here to say..I'm sorry,  I haven't really been myself for the past few months."
>Scootaloo lets out a mocking laugh.
>S:"Ha...you hear that Anon, she came to say sorry. Isn't that grand?"
"Scoots!"
>You let out in a belting tone but she ignores it.

>S:"Yeah, 'sorry' ain't gonna cut it. Living with Dash was bad enough, being reminded constantly that you'll never be like your hero hurt, and your incessant poking and teasing was even worse. So no I don't accept your apology, in fact you can shove it and whatever stallion you're currently screwing where the sun don't shine, also leave me and Anon alone, I've dealt with you enough.
"Scoots come on, she's willing to bury the hatchet."
>S:"Yeah well, some things can't be buried so easily."
>What's her problem?
>Sweetie's trying to make nice and Scootaloo shot her down without a second thought.
>SB:"Anon it's fine, I just... I just needed to get it off my chest. She didn't have to accept it....Well you two have a nice afternoon."
>She gives you both a nod and leaves, her head hung low.
>S"Finally she's gone now lets get back to what we were doing.”
"You know that was very childish of you."
>Wrong choice of words Anon.
>S:"Am I acting like a child? You don't know what it's like to never be able to live up to any expectations or be like somepony you look up too. You've lived your entire life being waited on head and hoof. You grew up in a castle for Celestia's sake. Do you know where I grew up? A shitty little cottage with one bed that my parents slept in. All I had was the floor to sleep on. Did I mention that they were both alcoholics? Yeah, try coming home with a bad report card when both of your parents are too drunk to remember to hold back or too drunk to remember to feed their filly."
>She was barely holding back the tears.
>You try to hold her but she jerks away from your grasp.
>"No...just...I just need to be alone and think. Don't expect to see me in bed tonight."
>Anon, learn to keep your mouth shut.
>Scootaloo walks somberly up the steps.
>You try to call after her but only one thing escapes your lips.
"I'm sorry."
>You knew it didn't reach her and saying it only made you feel worse.
>Tonight was going to be the coldest you've been in a while.
>You take a seat on the couch and wonder how you're going to fix this.
>Heh, you still haven't fixed yourself.

>You are Scootaloo.
>And you are stupid, stupid, stupid.
>What possessed you to act like that?
>Sure Sweetie sometimes teased you.
>But when you told her to knock it off she would.
>You yelled at Anon too.
>He was right, you were being childish.
>For years Sweetie and Apple Bloom protected you.
>And you left both of them without as much as a goodbye.
>You bury your face into your pillow.
>Everything recently has been perfect for you.
>Anon has taken care of every little thing you needed.
>Anytime something went awry he was right there by your side to pick you up.
>He's taken more care of you than himself.
>It's been a month and a half and he's been so busy dealing with you that he hasn't even found a job yet.
>How long before this heaven becomes a hell?
>It happens every time.
>Bloom, Dash, Sweetie.
>Every time you were finally adjusted it was time for you to leave.
>You roll over and fight off the same few thoughts for a couple of hours.
>When will your time here be over?
>Why do you screw up everything?
>Why couldn't you just have been born normal?
>Each passing thought digs your hole a little deeper.
>Finally you can't take it anymore and go to Anon's room.
"Anon, you still awake?"
>No response.
>You open the door and the sight breaks your heart.
>You can see a wet trail glistening down his cheek and he's holding a pillow in place of you.
>Dammit Scootaloo, why do you always hurt somepony?
>You gingerly remove the pillow and takes its place.
"I'm sorry Anon, I'm really really sorry."
>You steal a quick kiss and put your head against his chest.
>His heartbeat lulling you to sleep.

>You are Anon, again.
>And you've just awoke from another nightmare.
>Not as intense as the last, but bad enough to wake you in a cold sweat.
>You start to get up but a warm opposition stops you.
>You look down to see a peacefully sleeping Scootaloo.
>After carefully slipping out from under her you leave for the park.
>You lay across a park bench and stare up at the night sky.
"Just as beautiful as always Luna."
>"Why thank you Anonymous."
>The unexpected voice makes you almost jump out of your skin.
"Luna, you can't be doing that...Wait if you're here am I still asleep?"
>"Sorry for startling you Anonymous."
"It's fine Luna, you know I'm always happy to see you."
>She brings the tip of her wing to her mouth to cover a snicker.
>"But to answer your other question no you're not asleep."
"Good...so what brings you out to ponyville?"
>The smile on her face fades as she lets out a sigh.
>"Well Anon, we know you're having those dreams again and we're...I'm worried."
>You sit up and pat the spot next to you.
>She takes a seat and stretches a wing across your back.
"Thanks for the concern Luna, but I'm fine."
>At this point you can't tell if you're lying to her or yourself.
>"Anon, something has to be wrong, Nightmares always have a meaning."
"Yeah well, meanings don't come to the rest of us as easy as you."

>Come in Anon, she's just trying to help.
>"Oh Anon, I apologize, I didn't mean to-"
"No, Luna...It's not your fault, Im... I'm just lost.
>She pulls you in a little tighter.
>"Well maybe I can help find you, tell me what's new and maybe we can sort this out."
"Well for starters Mom made me move out, after searching for over a month I still can't find a job, and on top of all that I can’t help my self-destructive girlfriend...I love her, I really do, everytime she smiles or when she’s just next to me my world is just that much brighter and I have no reason to not smile with her...but I don’t know how to help her.”
>Luna draws in a long breath but another voice answers for her.
>S:”Is that how you really feel about me Anon?”
>You look up to see Scootaloo wearing one of your hoodies with another one across her back.
“Scoots I-”
>The tears forming in her eyes would make you feel terrible but the smile accompanying them leaves you confused.

>S:”I really make you that happy?”
"Guess I should've told you sooner huh?"
>She runs up to you and hugs you tightly, as if when she let go you'd disappear.
>L:"That was beautiful and I hate to interrupt but we really need to figure out there nightmares of your's."
>S:"Oh, princess I'm sorry I didn't notice you."
>She starts to bow but Luna stops her.
>L:"No need to bow, if Anon cares about you that much then consider yourself family."
>Scootaloo take a seat on the other side of you and puts her head on your lap.
"So Luna that's about everything that's new in my life. Spot anything that would cause these dreams yet?"
>She gets a pensive look on her face before shaking her head.
>L: "No, nothing too unusual...You've been taking care of yourself too, I presume?"
"Yeah, I eat, shower, brush my teeth, you know the whole nine yards."
>L:"Hmmm...have you been sleeping well?"
>Scootaloo's head rises off of you lap.
>S:"No, he hasn't."
"What do you mean, I sleep just fine."
>S:"Look, I still don't exactly know how humans work but three hours can't be healthy."
"Eh, it's fine Scoots, I'm used to not sleeping much, I never really have."
>You look at Luna to confirm your statement.
>She catches your look and explains with a sigh.
>L:"Sadly it's true, his nightmare as a child hindered him from sleeping.

“Yeah, sometimes on a good night I would get five or six hours but that was rare.”
>You put your hand back in her mane, rub between her ears and turn back to Luna.
“Still can’t figure out what’s wrong with me huh?”
>Luna retracts her wing from your back only to be quickly replaced Scootaloo’s.
>L:”I’m afraid I can’t, and you said you still don’t have a job, right?”
>You look at Scootaloo, whose head has returned to your lap.
“Yep, and it sucks, she can’t find a job either and she’s been looking for years longer than me. I’m afraid I wont be able to find one...Mom gave me two months to get one before she stopped paying the rent, I’ve checked every store and vendor in town and still nothing. So what’s a guy to do...how can I take care of me and her if I don’t have the bits to do it?
>Saying it out loud made you realize just how bad of a situation you’re in
>You have two weeks to find a stable job that can pay for two, or you lose your house and probably Scoots.
>Tears were welling up in your eyes and your breath was becoming ragged.
>You feel the pressure on your lap disappear and something warm brush under your eyes removing the wet pools that were there moments before.
>S:”Hey now, no tears big guy.”
>You look into her soft lavender eyes and give her a kiss.
>S:”I’m not going anywhere, even if we have to live with your Mom, I’ll be right here.
>If you’ve said it once you’ll say it again. She ALWAYS knows how you feel.
“Thanks.”
>You look back to Luna who has a peaceful grin on her face from the sweet moment that just took place.
>L:”You two should head home and get some sleep. Anon, I’ll talk to Twilight and see if I can arrange some sort of job for you at the castle or something of the sort...Oh, and good luck to you two, I’d hate to see you apart.”
“Thanks Luna.”
>You give her a hug and she leaves back into the night sky.
“Alright Scoots lets get home it’s cold out.”

>You put on the spare jacket and begin to walk back to the house.
“Hey, umm Scoots.”
>“What’s up?”
>You take a deep breath.
“About earlier when Sweetie came over.”
>”Yeah, what about it?”
“Well...I wanted to say I’m sor-”
>”No no no, you don’t have to apologize.”
“But I-”
>”No, you were right, I was a acting like a foal. She’s helped me out a lot, especially as filly. Whenever I needed a break from my house she would always let me stay with her.
>”I remember the few times when I would sleep in the treehouse she brought me breakfast. And yes her teasing me would get on my nerves but she would never say anything too hurtful or she’d stop if I told her. Dammit I really messed up.”
>She stopped walking and had taken a seat on the ground..
>You stop and turn to her.
“Hey look, we all fuck up or hold grudges.”
>”Yeah, but not against people who’ve helped us.”
“True, but you could always try to fix it.”
>”Yeah right, I’ve told her to fuck off twice now… I don’t think sorry will fix it.”
“It never hurts to try and I’m sure she’ll accept if it’s from you.”
>She leans up against you and you flash her a comforting smile.
>”How do you know she’ll accept it.”
>You place a hand on her back and rub in a small circle.
“I’m honestly not sure, but I do know ‘I’m sorry’ is a good start.”
>Scootaloo nuzzles against your arm.
>”Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it, now lets get home its fucking cold out here.”
>”You don’t have to tell me twice.”
>The two of you race the rest of the way home and jump into bed.
>You both lay in the bed, just enjoying each other's company.
>You rub her cheek with your thumb and stare into her beautiful purple eyes.
>She places a hoof in the center of your chest and you can feel her heartbeat against yours.
>You start to speak but are quickly silenced by another pair of lips against your own.
>She pulls back with tears in her eyes.
“Wait, what’s wrong?”
>She takes her other hoof and wipes her face.
>”Right now, with you here, not a damn thing.”
“I love you too.”
>She snuggles into her normal position.
>“Good night Nonny, sweet dreams.”
“Night baby, you too.”
>She wraps a wing around you and passes out.
>You put your hand in her mane and follow suit.

>The next morning you wake up before your hand tangled in Scootaloo’s mess of hair.
>Man her hair is full of knots.
>After carefully pulling your hand from her mane you look at the clock.
>It’s half past four.
>Wow, you actually got about…
>You slept for ten fucking hours!
>Welp, there goes anything resembling a sleep schedule.
>Well, it’s worth it.
>The warm body in your arms starts to stir.
>You look down just in time to see her pretty eyes open and lock on yours.
“Morning sleepyhead.”
>She lets out a giggle and stretches her neck out to give you a kiss.
>”Morning to you too. What time is it?”
“It’s a little after four thirty.”
>You move your arms lower on her back so she can stretch her wings.
>She yawns making you yawn as well.
>"We should probably get up huh?"
"Nah, we deserve a lazy day, especially you."
>You lean down and give her another kiss.
>You start to pull away but she stops you.
>A new sensation makes the kiss a lot more interesting.
>An invader dances around your tongue , and you chase it with yours.

>After a minute or so, you both pull away needing precious oxygen.
"Wow...that was...that was something."
>She gives a girly giggle and nuzzles back into your chest.
>You can't help but laugh and put a hand back in her tangled mane.
"Your hair is a mess."
>"Yeah, I know. You try brushing your hair with these though."
>She waves a hoof around for emphasis.
"You want me to brush it for you?"
>She pulls back from your chest with a smile.
>"Actually, yeah, that sounds kinda nice."
>You grab her brush off of the nightstand and sit with your back against the headboard.
>She takes a seat between your legs.
>The two of you sit there, quietly enjoying each other for the fifteen minutes it takes to completely de-knot her mane.
"So, how was that?"
>You run your fingers through her now silky amethyst colored hair.
>"You know...you make it really had to think you're not perfect."
"Hehe, I try."

>You both start for another kiss but are interrupted by your stomachs.
>"I guess we're hungry."
"Yeah, I guess so. Wanna go to Sugarcube Corner?"
>"Ehh, sure."
>You hug her extra tightly before getting up and putting on some pants.
>The two of you walk outside into the perfect weather.
>When you were young, days like today were perfect kite weather.
>"Ugh, I think I slept on my leg wrong, it kinda hurts."
>She kicks out one of her back legs to stretch it.
"Do you want me to carry you?"
>She takes a second to consider your offer.
>"You know what, why not?"
>You kneel down and put your hands behind you.
>"Wait, don't you normally carry me from the front?"
"Yes, but this way is easier for me."
>"Okay, so what am I supposed to do?"
"Well put your front hooves around my neck."
>She rears up on her back legs and carefully hugs your neck.
>"Like this?"
"Perfect, now hold on tight."
>You cup your hands under her legs and stand up quickly.
>"Woah, so this is how everything looks from your height."
>You begin the walk to Sugarcube Corner.
"Enjoying the view are we?"

>"Yeah, we need to do this and the hair brushing thing more often."
>About halfway through the walk you get a deliciously evil plan.
>You slowly pick up speed till you're almost in a sprint.
>"Ahh...hahaha, Anon haha, slowdown hahaha!"
>Her voice says stop, but the laughter and adorable squeaks tell you keep going.
>When you reach your destination, you're a sweaty, giggling mess.
>You absent mindedly enter with Scoots still on your back.
>You look around to see Twilight and the girls all looking at you.
>After letting Scootaloo down you go and sit with them.
"Hey Mom, hey girls."
>You let out a nervous laugh.
"So...you all are probably wondering what that was about."
>R:"Well, we all have our ideas darling, but we want you to say it before we jump to conclusions."
>You wrap an arm around Scootaloo, keeping her close.
"Well...Scootaloo and I have been...dating."

>The girls erupt in an excited fanfare.
>They all talk at once and their voices get lost in each other.
"Girls. Girls! I can't talk to all of you at once."
>FS:"Oh, sorry Anon. It's just...we've been waiting for this to happen for a while now."
"Wait, you all knew?"
>RD:”Are you kidding me? I’ve never seen a pair of ponies so inseparable.”
 >R:”You didn’t exactly hide it well darling.”
>You look over to Applejack hoping there was somepony who didn’t notice.
>She smiles and tips her hat.
>Damn you apple aunt.

>Pinkie is losing her mind bouncing next to you, while holding her breath.
>You could be a dick and not acknowledge her but she’s been too nice to you.
“Yes, Pinkie.”
>She takes a deep breath, and you prepare yourself.
>P:"Ican’tbelieveyoutwoarefinallytogetherI’msohappyIcouldjustburstnotliterallythoughbecausethatwouldbegrossandmessyandoohi’mjustsohappyforyoutwo.”
“Thanks Pinkie, that means a lot.”
>You look over to your mom, who looks like she has something on her mind.
“So Mom, you’ve been relatively quiet over there.”
>T:”Oh yeah, sorry Nonny. I’m happy for you nonetheless, but um...I need to talk to you.”
“I’m listening.”
>T:”I meant, you know, privately.”
“Oh, okay sure.”

>You start to get up but feel something tug at your sleeve.
>You look back to see Scootaloo holding on to your arm.
"Scoots, I'm not going too far. I'll just be outside, talk with the girls till we get back. I'm sure they have a million questions for you."
>S:"Okay."
>You give her a kiss on the forehead and walk outside with your mom.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
>T:"Well, I'm sure you know that Luna came to talk to me."
>You nod.
>T:"I'm worried about you Anon, with the nightmares returning and you still not having a job, I'm starting to question if you moving out was a responsible decision on my part."
"What do you mean?"
>T:"I don't know Anon, I’m just worried.”
“I’m fine mom ,trust me. Even with these nightmares, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier with Scoots around.”
>T:"Are you sure Nonny, I just want to make sure you're okay."
"Mom I'll be okay, alright. I pinkie promise.
>You go through the motions and accidentally poke yourself in the eye, making your mom laugh.

>T:”Alright, if you say so. I’ll trust your decision.”
>She smiles and gives you a hug but still looks somewhat wary. .
>T:”Now the other thing, Luna told me she could get you a job at the castle.”
“Yes, that’s awesome, I love you Luna!”
>Your mom smiles hesitantly.
“What’s the catch?”
>T:”Well, you’d have to be a guard...and it’s a night shift.”
>Your heart sinks a little knowing you won’t get to go to bed with Scoots.
>You let out a sigh.
“Why can’t I have a day shift, can’t they just switch somepony and I can take over during the day?”
>T:”Sorry Nonny, it doesn’t work like that.”
“Dammit, what about Scootaloo?”
>T:”I don’t know, it’s only a five hour shift from what she said. You could probably go to sleep, wake up, work, come home and go back to sleep before she's even up.”
“I guess.”
>You lean against the building.
>You really should take this job.
>It’s the only offer you’ve gotten thus far.
“Well it’s the only shot I’ve got at a job, so tell  Luna I’m all for it.”

>T:”Alright Nonny, I’ll be sure to...also I really am happy for you two, sorry for not showing it.”
>You hug her and tussle her mane.
“I know, you just had other things to worry about. Now lets get back inside the girls are probably all over Scoots.”
>The two of you walk back and sure enough the girls are all talking over each other.
“Girls, girls. Come on, take it easy on the poor girl.”
>You take a seat next to Scoots.
>Your stomachs rumble, reminding you why you came here in the first place.

“Actually, if you all would excuse us for a sec, me and Scoots came here for breakfast.”
>RD:”Breakfast? It’s almost five and you two still haven’t had something to eat?”
“Yeah, me and her were up kinda late and slept in.”
>You see a wave of red splash against their faces.
“No no no, not like that. I uh...had a bad dream, went for a walk and she came and got me, and we talked for a bit is all.”
>The breath out a sigh of relief.
>You start to get up to grab some breakfast, but before your butt’s off the seat two muffins seemingly appear in front of you.
>You turn your head to see Pinkie balancing two cups full of chocolate milk on her head, which you quickly relieve her of.
"Thanks Pinkie, but how did you-"
>P:"Oh Nonny,  I've known you long enough to know you never change."
>That actually kinda stung.
>You know she meant it in the best possible way, but still.
>You push away the thought and start on the food in front of you.
>The girls chat between themselves letting you and Scoots eat in peace.
“Hey Scoots, didn’t we have something to do today?”
>S:”Oh crap, I completely forgot. I was supposed to talk to Sweetie today.”

>Rarity’s ear twitch at the mention of her sister and she turns to you.
>R:”How is my sister? I haven’t seen her since...I haven’t seen her in a while.”
>S:”She’s been better, but we were going to see her today, if you want to tag along.”
>R:”Sure, just remind me before you leave darling.”
>You give her a nod and resume eating your food.
>You’re hand absent mindedly makes its way to Scootaloo’s ears.
>Rubbing them was a nervous habit you had picked up in your time together.
>And you were nervous.
>It’s seems anytime those Scoots and Sweetie were in a room together one of them couldn’t handle themselves.
>A collective “Dawwww.” rouses you from your thoughts.
 >You look over and notice Scootaloo cooing and pushing into your hand, a blush on her face all the while.
>You quickly put your hands in your lap and blush as well.
>FS:”You two are so adorable.”

>The girls bombard you with questions for fifteen minutes about you and Scootaloo before you decide it’s time to go.
>The walk to Sweetie Belle’s house is thankfully short.
“So Rara what happened between you and Sweetie anyway.”
>You turn to her and see that your question made her visibly uncomfortable.
“Ohh, sorry. If you don’t want to say, it’s cool.”
>R:"Thank you darling."
>She relaxed a little but you could tell she was still tense.

>You eventually make your way to Sweetie's house.
>You start to knock on the door but Rarity stops you.
>R:"Er...If you don't mind, I'd like to talk with her first."
>You nod and step back.
>She takes a deep breath before knocking on the door.
>A minute or so goes by before the door opens.
>SB:"Hello...Oh it's you."
>She start a to close the door but Rarity stops her.
>R:" Sweetie please, you can't avoid me forever."
>SB:" No, but I can try. Now leave."
"Sweetie come on, give her a chance."
>She opens the door a little wider to see you.
>SB:"Why should I?"
"Because everypony deserves a second chance."
>She scoffs at your remark.
>SB:”No, i’m sick of second chances Anon, I’m sick of Rarity always coming first. I’m twenty three years old, when do I stop being just Rarity junior, huh? Even when I had boyfriends they never seemed to care about me when they met my sister, hell I even lost one to her. So i’m sorry but I...I just don’t want anything to do with her anymore.
>She was choking back tears and so was Rarity.
>Must be hard not having your own identity.
>It’s not something you’ve ever had to deal with.
>You weren’t like anything for miles, so no one could compare you to anything.
>You look down and notice that Scootaloo had snuck out from under your hand.
>She sits down in front of Sweetie and wipes away some of the tears in her eyes.
>S:”Hey Sweetie. You know not everypony sees you like that.”
>Sweetie sniffles but keeps calm.
>SB:”Yeah right. I’ll always take the second spot to her, no matter how hard I try to be different.”
>S:”I’m serious, to me and Bloom you always were...are just Sweetie Belle. And for the whole guys always seem to be worried about your sister thing. Fuck em.”
>Sweetie seemed surprised at Scootaloo’s language.
>S:”Guys can be jerks, just think of how many colts tried to get a shot at Dash through me. Don’t try to be different. I promise that won’t get you anywhere, try just being Sweetie Belle for once.”
>She wraps her forelegs around Sweetie Belle’s neck and gives her a sisterly hug.
>S:”And another thing, I’m sorry for yelling at you, I had no right to do that. You’ve helped me out so much when I was a filly. Y’know the good old days of me, you and Bloom trying to figure out where we were headed.
>She nods, and hugs Scootaloo back, tears freely falling at this point.
>SB:”I’m sorry for kicking you out Scoots, I felt terrible and-”
>S:”You don’t have to say anything about that, in fact i’m almost glad it happened.”
>She turns and gives you the sweetest smile you’ve ever seen.
>S:”If that fight wouldn’t have happened then I would have...uugghh this is gonna sound so cheesy but I wouldn’t have ever told Anon how much I love him and we wouldn’t be happily together. Now how about you go over to your sister and sort this out, she loves you and so do I.”

>Sweetie Belle slinks over to her sister and slowly raises her eyes to meet her sisters.
>SB:”Hey Rarity...I um...I’m-”
>She’s cut off by Rarity putting a hoof to her lips.
>R:”No darling...I should apologize. I had no idea I was over shadowing you that much. Why did you never tell me?”
>SB:”I don’t know...I thought you knew but didn’t care about it or me.”
>Rarity wraps her hooves around Sweetie and strokes her mane.
>R:”Of course I care Sweetie. You’re family, of course I care about you.
>Sweetie cries into the crook of her sister’s neck.
>SB:”I’m so sorry for thinking you didn’t.”
>Rarity gives her sister a tight squeeze.
>R:”No I’m sorry for letting you think I didn’t. You’re my only sister Sweetie, I’ll always care about you.”
>Mascara was running down Rarity’s face but she kept her composure.
>She looks over to you and then Scootaloo.
>Rarity mouths the words “thank you” in Scootaloo’s direction.
>She cocks her head and smiles back at Rarity.
>Scootaloo walks over to you and nuzzles into your side.
>S:“I guess we should leave and let them work things out. ”
>Sweeties head pops up from her sister's shoulder and looks toward you.
>SB:”Actually...Scoots...could you stay? I’d like to make it up to you too.”
>Scootaloo gives her a friendly smile before looking at you.
>S:”You wouldn’t mind if I stayed for just a bit, right?”
>You bend down and give her a kiss on the forehead.
“Not at all baby, I’ll see you back at the house.”
>You tussle her mane and walk back to your house.
>When you get home you hop into bed and put on some music.
>It’s been awhile since you’ve actually been alone.
>You’re eyes start to get heavy and it’s not long before you’re out.
>You wake up and feel Scootaloo’s head nuzzled into your stomach



Update 1/14/16

>She’s passed out on the floor, with her head resting on the couch against you.
> Poor thing, you didn't leave her any room to snuggle up to you.
>You pick her up and carry her to your bedroom before tucking her in.
>You snuggle up to her and eventually pass out.
>The next morning you wake up missing a certain warmth and a faint burning smell in the air.
>You descend the step and find your favorite purple maned pony in the kitchen, along with another catastrophe.
>There's batter everywhere, her mane, face and tail are absolutely covered with tannish splotches , and in the pan lays two black frisbee's which were once pancakes.
>"M.. Morning Anon.."
>Her voice has a somber tune to it.
>"Sorry..I tried to make breakfast to make up for getting home so late but... yeah.."
>She sits on the floor with a look of defeat on her face.

>You take a seat in front of her and stroke her mane.
>"I'm really really sorry Anon."
"Scoots it's okay really. Remember how bad it looked when I tried to cook? "
>That gets a small laugh out of her.
>You stand up and peel one of the charred discs out of the pan and tap it on the counter.
"Hell you made it farther than I did and now we have two kickass frisbee's."
>Scoots tries to keep her pouty look but you can see her cracking a smile.
>You place your hand under her chin and rub her jawline softly with your thumb
"Don't be so tough on yourself Scoots. Your heart was in the right place."
>You toss the pancake (if you can still call it that) into the trash making a loud thud.
"Now come on pouty butt let's go see if mom's eaten yet."

>"You're not mad at me?"
"Of course not Scootsy."
>You walk over and give her a light kiss.
"Now let's go see if mom's eaten yet."
>"Hey Anon?"
"Yes love?"
>Your response makes her giggle.
>"I know I say it a lot but I love you Nonny"
"I love you too Scootsy."
>The two of you head out into the cool summer morning and walk to your former home.
>You knock on the door repeatedly because you know it annoys your mom.
"Mom, mom, mom, mummy,  mummy,  mummy,  momma, momma..."
>Twilight opens the door with a mixture of a smile and annoyance.
>T:"Hi Anon and Scootaloo."
"Hi mom."
>S:"Hello Twilight."
>T:"So,  what brings you two here?"
"What, I can't visit my favorite mommy? Oh no, I see how it is. "
>It was always fun to mess with Twi, she was so easy to fluster.
>T:"Well of course you can,  I mean  you're always welcome here but I was just.. "
>You bend down and give her a hug.
"Mom,  it's okay, I'm just messing with you."
>She gives you a tight squeeze and smiles.
>T:"So, what's up Anon? "
"Well it turns out that me and Scootsy here are absolutely terrible cooks."
>You and Scoots look at each other and can barely hold back laughing.
"We were wondering if we could swing by for some breakfast."
>Twilight's face lights up at your statement.
>T:"Of course Anon, come on in.”
>The two of you take a seat at the big table and Twilight goes and prepares breakfast.
>Scoots sits next to you and lays her head on the table in front of you.
>S:"Hey Anon?"
"What's up?"
>S:" What did Twilight want to talk to you about yesterday ?"
"Oh yeah, Luna is getting me a job at the castle."

>S:"What kinda job?"
"Well it's a job as a night guard for Luna."
>S:"Oh.. "
>Her happy expression somewhat falters
"Hey now,  it's okay Scootsy it's only a five hour shift, okay?"
>You're statement barely seems to cheer her up.
>"I guess we can't fall asleep together anymore..."
"Mom said I should be able to go to bed with you and be back before you wake up."
>You tussle her mane and give her a kiss
"We'll figure it out Scoots, I know you don't sleep well without me but I promise I'll come straight to bed when I get home."
>S:"Okay..."
>She give you a faltering smile and hugs you tightly
>S:"I love you Anon."
"I love you too Scootalo."
>Your mom returns from the kitchen with a neat stack of delicious looking pancakes.
>"Here you two love birds go, dig in."
>Without hesitation the two of you fill up your plates and and finish them.
>It's been a while since you and Scoots have had a decent homemade breakfast.
>T":So,  was it good? "
"Tenouttaten, can we come over more often for breakfast?"
>Twi walks over and gives you a kiss on the cheek.
>T:" You are both welcome here anytime."
>Scootaloo rests her head on your lap and you run your hand through her mane.
"Thanks mommy. Oh yeah, have you heard from Luna?
>T:"Oh, yes I have.  She wanted me to tell you that you have to start training in four days."
"Training?"
"You didn't think you could be an untrained guard did you Nonny? Also, your shift starts at 1 am, which is when you'll go to training as well."

"Ugggh, well I guess I can't really complain. At least I'll have a job"
>You  take a deep breath and let out a sigh.
>You didn't want to do this.
>Being away from Scoots is gonna be hard but at least she'll be asleep and not worrying about you.
>You both know that anxiety all too well.
>Scoots whimpers lightly.
>You reassuringly tussle her mane.
“It'll be okay babe.”
>Twilight scrunched her mouth to one side.
>T:”Hey Anon, can I talk to you for a second? Just you?”
“Umm yeah, I guess.”
>You follow your mom up the steps to your old room.
“So, what's up, why’d you wanna talk?
>T:”Well Anon, in short I'm just kinda worried about you.”
>She lets out a sigh.
>T:”Nonny, you do so much to take care of her. I've seen a whole new side to you since you two got together. I've never seen you fight so hard for something but…”
>You cross your arms and cock your eyebrow.
“But what?”
>She takes a seat next to you and draws I deep breath followed by a lengthy sigh.
>T:”Nonny I'm worried you're not taking care of yourself too. Look, I understand you want her to be happy but...if you're not happy too that's not a healthy relationship. I know you don't want to hear this but I'm just looking out for you.
>That was hard to hear.
>You wouldn't neglect your needs for Scoots.
>Would you?
>You never really too much cared about yourself but…
>She's priority for you though.
>As long as she's happy, you're happy.
>That's all that matters right?
>Right..?
>T: “Nonny?”
>You snap back to reality, realizing you've been staring off into space.
“Mom I'm fine.”
>T:”Nonny, you know I love you. I just want to make sure you stay healthy and happy. Maybe I'm just over thinking it, being your mom and all but...I just want the best for my baby. You know?
>You give your mom an empty hug.
>Your mind’s too focused on what she's said.
>You are happy...right?
>The two of you return to the dining room area.
“Hey mom, thanks for the food. I think me and Scoots are gonna head home.
>After a quick exchange of hugs you leave with Scootaloo and drag your feet the whole way home.
>Her question burning a hole in your skull.
>When you get home Scoots takes her normal spot on the couch and flips on the tv.
“Hey, I'm um..I'm gonna go upstairs lay in bed for a bit.”
>Scootaloo turns around with a quizzical look.
>S:”You okay baby?
“Huh? Oh yeah I'm..I'm good, just...just still a little sleepy is all.”
>You can tell she doesn't fully believe you but she takes your reply.
>S:”  Okay...I'll be up in a little bit.
>You lay down in your queen sized bed, tuck your knees to your chest and close eyes.
>It's been awhile since you sat down to think.
>It's not like you enjoyed it anyway.
>Thinking just made you sad, and you've gotten so sick of so sick.
>But after breakfast you can't stop thinking.
>You were..
>No are happy.
>Seeing Scootsy’s smile made you feel happy.
>It made you feel safe and loved.
>A lot like Tia and Twilight’s.
>Sure she's a little work but.
>Love is something worth working for.
>Besides, you're not easy either.
>You're not the kinda person that's good at saying or talking about your feelings.
>You roll over and let your mind rest, giving up the small fight to stay awake.

>You open your eyes and quietly admire the vibrant colors of the field in front of you.
>Flowers of every shade, shape and size decorate the lush landscape.
>Scootaloo is jumping in and out of the tall grass and brilliant flowers, chasing butterflies and loving life.
>You laugh at the goofy mare you know and love before laying on your back, staring into the perfect blue sky.
You close your eyes for a moment to try and capture the portrait like scene forever.
>When you open your eyes Scootaloo laying on top of you.
>She's smiling that crooked mischievous smile she gets when a wonderfully terrible idea.
>S:”Hi sleepy head.”
>She lowers her head and locks you in a deep kiss.
>You can feel a little invader poking and prodding around where normally only one tongue occupied.
>You match her movements.
>She slowly pulls back and once again she has that smile.
“Wow, that was..that was something.”
>She giggles
>S:”Oh I'm not done with you.”
>She sits up placing her front hooves on your chest and bottom directly on your crotch.
>You look into her beautiful lavender eyes.
“What's up?”
>You say part sarcastically part sincerely.
>S:”You tell me big boy.”
>With that she slowly rolls her hips back and forth against yours.
>Dick status: Adamantium
>A quiet moan escaped both of your lips.
>She slows down and carefully stands up, a clear sticky trail connects you too for a brief second before snapping and dripping to the ground.
>She slowly backs up and places her head above your zipper, pulling it down with her teeth. She smiles again and starts to make her way to your boxers.
>Her goof gets a few inches away before you wake up hot and sweaty.
>Scootaloo is curled up in front of you.
>Her butt is up against your leg and you can feel the heat coming from her marehood.
>She lets out a small whimper and moan.
>S:”Mmmm An..on...ohhh.
>Someone's having a good dream.
You don't want to get up because she'll wake up too but..”
>Dammit you have to pee.
>You carefully get up and slide out of bed.
>You take a quick whizz despite Anon Jr.’s best efforts to make it as difficult as possible.

>When you get back Scoot’s face is bright red and she has the covers pulled up to her muzzle.
>S:”H..Hey Anon.. Hey um could you go downstairs and watch tv for a bit?
“Sure? Everything okay?”
>S:”Uh yeah. Just I I'm need to do something.”
“Did you have a good dream by the way?”
>Her eyes grow wide.
>S:” How..how did..?
“You talk in your sleep sometimes”
>If you could die from embarrassment she would have a mean case rigor mortis.
>S:” Im sorry..”
>Tears are building up in her eyes and she looks at the floor
>You walk over and hug her tight.
“Shhh it’s okay. You didnt do anything wrong. Would it make you feel better if i told you I had that kind of dream too?”
>She rests her head on your shoulder.
>S:”Y-You did?”
“Yeah, it was something alright.”

>S:”Sorry Nonny”
“Hey, you don’t have to be. I promise it’s okay”
>She relaxes a little and the tension in her muscles starts to leave.
>S:”Okay.”
>She nuzzles up against you.
“I love you Scootsy”
“I love you too Anon”
>You give her a tight squeeze and gather up all the blankets before throwing them into the washer.
>The two of you sit on the couch and flip through the channels.
>S:”Hey Anon?”
“Whats up?”
>Scoots shifts uncomfortably.
>S:”Do you think we’ll ever..You know, do that?”
>You slightly tilt your head.
“Do what love?
>S:” You know, do..it”
“I mean, I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to rush into anything and I don’t want you to be uncomfortable with it. So, sure one day. Just maybe not too soon.”
>S:”Sorry.”
“Hey now, it’s okay.”
>She lays on her back across your lap and looks up at you.
>S:”I want to do it because I love and trust you but, I don’t know. I’m just scared”
>You rub her tummy and give her a light kiss.
“I understand.”
>The two of you spend the rest of the day relaxing and watching old movies.

>The next three days go by way too fast for your liking.
>You even started to get up early to make the days seem longer but they still flew by.
>Tomorrow is the big day and you just aren't ready.
>You, aren't ready to be an adult.
>But you have to do it for the two of you.
>Somehow you manage to slip out of bed before Scoots could wake up.
>You write her a note telling her that you're going grocery shopping and will be back soon.
>It was nice and cool outside.
>You don't bother with grabbing a jacket.
>As the cool air hits you, you can feel the hairs on your arms and neck stand up as goose bumps race across your skin.
>It was surprisingly nice to be alone for a minute.
>You take a deep breath of the morning air and begin your trip through the dewy grass to the market.
>But first you make a quick stop at Sugarcube Corner.
>As always Pinkie sits at the counter being her happy goofy self.
>P:”Haiiii Nonny.”
“Hehe, Hi Pinkie.”
>She flashes that big trademarked smile of hers.
>P:”What's up Nonny? Where's Scootaloo?”
>You politely smile back.
“Nothing much honestly. I kinda snuck out while she was still sleeping. I kinda needed some me time if you know what I mean. Some time to think about stuff.”
>Pinkie walks around the counter and leads you to a booth.
>P:” What kinda stuff Anon?”
>You rest your head on one hand and draw circles on the table with the other.
“I don't know. I guess something Mom said is just kinda eating at me.”
>Pinkie lightly puts a hoof under your chin and and gives you her comforting mom like smile.
>P:”You know you can always talk to me Nonny. I may not be your mommy but you can always come to me when something's wrong.  So, what did Twilight say?”
>You take a long deep breath and let it out slowly.
>You hated this feeling.
>You hated dumping your feelings on Pinkie.
>It always feels like you're just gonna bring her down.
>She doesn't show it if you do though.
“She.. She told me that she isn't sure if me and Scoots are in a healthy relationship.. Mom thinks I'm too worried about Scootaloo and not spending time making myself happy. But when she's happy I'm happy. Seeing her smile, hearing her voice, hell being around her makes me happy. I.. I just…”
>Pinkie brushes her hoof against your cheek.
>P:”Nonny If I may let me stop you there. I know you love her Anon, that look in your eyes when you're together. Nonny someponies would kill to have someone love them like you love her.”
>She takes a deep breath.
>P:”But you can't rely solely on somepony else to make you happy. Nonny are you happy with yourself?”
>You lay your head on the table.
>You know there's no point in lying to her.
>You sigh.
“No…”
>P:”See Nonny that's a start, you...wait what did you say?”
“I said no..I'm not..When I'm with her, she makes me forget about it..but deep down I'm the same as I've been since I got here.”
>P:”W..What do you mean Nonny?”
“Pinkie, what I'm saying I guess is you were right, I'm still the same..I haven't changed at all in twelve years. I'm still lost, scared, I feel like I don't belong here. I'm so different than everypon- everyone.  I don't belong here, but this is my home, this is where my family is but..I don't know. Twi was right. I don't know how to take care of myself, I don't know what I want. I know I love Scoots and I know I want her to be happy. I want to be happy too.”
>P:”Nonny I..”
“I know I'm a train wreck but I'm trying to fix it. I'm slowly growing up, I'm doing everything I can to make my own and her life as good as possible. I'm no superman..mare.. Ughhh you know what I mean but I try dammit and that counts for something right? I know where I want to be, I don't care how hard the journey there gets. I just want us to be happy and have good times. I want to not be anonymous for once. I want to be someone. I want my name to mean something to someone. You know?”
>Pinkie give you a big happy smile
P:” You know Anon, I think you know what you want more than you think you do. Nonny, you have changed. You used to be so shy, quiet and introverted. You're so much more grown up than you believe. You're very selfless and impulsive. You're a lot like me. You like to see people happy and will do anything in your power to see that those close to you are happy. When I was a filly I wished that somepony like you would show up in my life for me. I'm sure every little filly does. Anon, you mean more to Scootaloo than you could imagine. She loves seeing you happy.So Nonny, do both of you a favor and dont only worry about her, she’s a tough little filly. Worry about yourself too. Do what makes you happy, and trust me she’ll be happy too, okay?”
>You reach across the table and hug Pinkie as tight as you can.
“Thank you Pinkie. I really needed to hear all that. Honestly, I can’t thank you enough.”
>P:”You know you don’t have to Nonners. That smile is enough.”
>You hug her again and tussle her cotton candy mane.
“I should get going, thanks again for everything Pinkie.”
>P:” No problem, I’m always here to help.
“I’m glad. Later Pinkie.”
>P:”Byyyyyyyeeee Nonnnyyyyyyy”
>You head off to the market with a smile on your face and a new found fire in your heart.

>It doesn't take long for you to get what you need and head back home.
