01 Scootaloo Rising

By Honey Moon

Wings flapping strong and fast, Scootaloo headed towards Ponyville. “I can’t believe this.” She said, risking bugs in her teeth as her scooter sped along with greater speed than she was normally able to produce. The filly attributed her increased velocity to agitation over what she had witnessed. “Princess Twilight is a Futanari? That’s just not fair!”

The almost painful tension she had felt deep in her tummy had eased up, but it threatened to return as she thought of Fluttershy just meekly letting Twilight mount up and ram in. “I, I think Fluttershy even saw me watching them!” she said as she took a curve at astounding speed.

The wheels of her scooter left the path, but Scootaloo didn’t notice as she leaned into the turn and negotiated it with greater ease than she ever had before. “Nah, she couldn’t have seen me. Fluttershy is way too timid to just let Twilight do “that” while somepony was watching!”

The filly pulled back on the hoofbars, wings beating furiously as she stopped in front of Carousel Boutique. Still pondering what she had witnessed, Scootaloo was unaware that there was none of the normal wheel screeching as she stopped on a bit. She hopped off of the vehicle as it dropped down soundlessly onto the ground below.

“I just gotta tell Sweetie Belle and Applebloom about this!” She trotted up and put a hoof to the door, but it wouldn’t budge. “Oh, that’s right. Sweetie Belle said Rarity was in Canterlot for some fashion thing this weekend.” Froo-froo things like fashion shows never interested her before, but for some reason or other Scootaloo suddenly thought seeing a bunch of fashion fillies wearing pretty clothes might be something she’d really want to see. The odd tightness in her tummy seemed to be coming back. That is until a stray thought entered her head.

Scootaloo’s mouth dropped open. “Wait a minute. Did Princess Twilight fib to me? She had to know that Rarity is out of town for the weekend! Sweetie Belle wouldn't be here with her sister away. Besides, once her momma noticed she went into season yesterday, all heck broke loose! Sweetie Belle won't be allowed out of the house for a couple of days, until her season passes.” She laughed. “Twilight must have really wanted to get at Fluttershy if she told me a fib. I guess I can understand that.”

The filly remounted her scooter and tore off in the general direction of Sweet Apple Acres. From a distance things looked normal. Several ponies did turn to watch Scootaloo in passing. Although she still held on to the hoofbars, there was a subtle difference from her usual riding stance. Scootaloo's hind legs were trailing behind her as she sped by.

Scootaloo felt more her old self as she approached the tree house she, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom used as headquarters for The Cutie Mark Crusaders. She parked her scooter and was just about to climb up to the clubhouse when she saw Applebloom walking her way.

“Am I ever pooped!” Applebloom exclaimed with a grin. “I feel good though. Applejack let me buck a whole acre by ma self this mornin'. I don't think she thought I could do it, but I reckon I showed ma big sis I'm not so little any more!”

“Applebloom, have I got news for you!” Scootaloo grinned. “I know something totally cool about Princess Twilight and Fluttershy.”

Applebloom paused. “Is Twilight trying to study “The Stare” again?” she asked with a giggle. “Applejack told me that Twilight is still tryin’ to figure out how Fluttershy turned into a big ol' bat.”

“It's nothing like that!” Scootaloo felt the odd almost painful tension again, but ignored it while delivering her news. “Princess Twilight is a Futanari, and Fluttershy sure seems to like it!”

“What in tarnation are you talkin' about, Scoot?”

Eyes closing to slits, Scootaloo continu
