Scootaloo stared out of her window the blue sky stretched out above her. She let out a small sigh,
"scootaloo! Dinners ready!"
She heard her mother call, she lived in a small house on the edge of ponyville with her mother, firefly
"Coming!" She yelled back, stretching her back legs before getting up.
Scootaloo went downstairs the table was neatly made, and two plates of scrambled eggs sat on the table, ready to be eaten. Scootaloo trotted up to the table sitting down in her seat, "I thought I would make eggs today! I know we had them yesterday, but.. We don't have anything else" firefly said, they had never had much money for food, leaving them very little to go out with, ever since her dad had left they barely got by.
Scootaloo took a bite of the scrambled eggs her mother had made, she was a good cook, but considering all she made was eggs, and the occasional roast, her talents went greatly unnoticed.
"Thanks mom" she said looking up at firefly "I.. Know we don't have much food at the moment" Scootaloo looked down tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
"Oh scootaloo" her mother said giving her a warm hug, "it's fine, we'll soon have enough money to do more things, I promise" Scootaloo hugged her back, although she had promised the same thing many times before, she never gave up hope. Firefly walked back into the kitchen giving her daughter one last smile.
Scootaloo looked down at the plate of eggs, she wasn't that hungry, but she knew that she was lucky to have any food at all. She picked up her fork and started eating.
When she was done she got up from the table "mom, I'm gonna go spend time with Applebloom today, ok?" She said walking up to the door.
"Of course sweetie" firefly said from the kitchen.
Scootaloo nodded opening the door and walking out.

Scootaloo took in a breath of fresh air, the sky above her was a candy blue. She started to make her way to where she knew Applebloom would be.
Applebloom was sitting on a hill, the grass beneath her an emerald green.
Tears flooded down her face, she was sat in front of two graves, they read: bright mac, and pear butter, together forever.
"A-and then ah got mah cutie mark" Applebloom said a mixture of sadness and excitement in her voice,
"Applebloom" Scootaloo said approaching the yellow filly,
"S-Scootaloo! W-what are you doing here?" Applebloom said tears streaming down her face.
"I wanted to see you" Scootaloo said sitting down next to her, the cold wind making her mane blow in her face. She put a wing over Applebloom.
Applebloom sighed, "ah.. Ah never got to meet em.."
"and ah know Ill never get the chance" she said more tears falling down her face onto the grass beneath them,
"Losing someone.. Is hard" Scootaloo said, and Applebloom nodded.
"I.. Wouldn't know how that feels" she put a hoof over Applebloom bringing her closer.
Applebloom leaned her head on Scootaloos shoulder closing her eyes.
'I don't think I'll ever know how that feels' she thought to herself, it was true that her dad had left when she was young, but he was still out there somewhere, Losing someone like she had, was worse.
