Scoot Along Home (5/5)

"That's nice, dear," sighed Lemon Chiffon, her eyes on her paperwork. Hydrology reports, the effect of artificial structures on the thermal topology, this was harder work than they made it sound in school!
"And then I-"
"Dear, could you go play with your dolls or something?" Lemon asked, looking at her daughter.
Scoots frowned. Mom wasn't usually this distracted. "But mom-"
Lemon saw tears begin to form in her daughter's eyes, and sighed. "Oh darling, come here," she said, and gave her a big hug. "Mommy's got a great big job now, and she won't have very much time. You need to make other friends besides Miss Dash."
"Oh. How do I do that?"
Such a simple question, Lemon marveled. Was she ever that young? "You look at all the ponies in your class, and you figure out who you would like to be friends with. Then you ask her, 'Will you be my friend?'"
Scoots stuck her tongue out. "But none of them is as cool as Rainbow Dash!"
"You don't pick friends because they're super cool, you pick them because they're the kind of pony you like talking with or playing with or if you like the same types of things."
"Oh. Oh yeah! Thanks, Mom!" said Scootaloo. She ran to her room and started writing up a list of the ponies in her class. One of them had to be cool enough to hang out with Rainbow Dash. But who? |
