La Poulain De Rue ch4 Furry Friendly Edition

After reading the fic "La Poulain De Rue" (French= The Foal of The Street) by doctordapples and seeing the comic "Homelessloo" by Gavalanche I just had to do a follow-up where poor Scootaloo finely found a home.

Warning- the following fic is set in an Equestria of the planet Mobious and contains furry ponies, so deal with it, or read the original rough draft found in my scraps.

La Poulain De Rue- Furry Friendly Addition
pt 4. Luna's Breakfast Club

Luna had left Cherilee after thanking her for the coffee and the hug she needed most desperately. She was flying low over Ponyville, with a new target in mind.

The sun was rising to it's apex in the sky, warming her back and the top of her wings. She looked at the position of the sun "Almost a quarter to noon." she said to herself "And I hoped I could get back to Sweet Apple Acres before nightfall, but this quest is taking much longer then I had previously anticipated."

She came to land gracefully at the door to the town Library, which was situated within a massive oak tree. "I only hope she can help me, so I can get back to Apple Bloom soon." she sighed "I don't even know why I feel so driven to find this mysterious stallion in the first place."

She knocked on the door, though the sign said "closed". "Yes can I help yo… oh.. Good morning Princess Luna." A young teen, purple dragon, taller and skinnier then his former rotund baby self, with wings developing from his back, answered the door in not but his own scales.

"Oh Spike.. You know you and Twilight Sparkle are like family, there's no need to address me so formally. Just Luna will suffice." she said politely. "Right.. Well do come in wont you?" "Why thank you.. And may I say that your spines are looking quite.. Sharp today." she struggled with the best compliment to grace her host.

"Well thank you, Miss Luna." Spike brushed over the top of his head with his growing claws, laying his spines over the back of his scull, before they popped back up "You've grown quite a bit sense we first met. I guess you finally have been laying off the gem stones, then. You know of course they stunt a baby dragons growth." she smiled knowing that dragons typically grow from infancy to young adulthood rather quickly.

"Yeah.. I know.. I just wish Rarity would notice." he sighed "Have you tried just letting her know how you feel?" Luna asked her little brotherly dragon friend "Well no.." he responded sheepishly.

"Spike take it from me.. You don't want to live your whole life knowing what could have been if you just spoke up. I doubt I would have slipped so far into madness if I just told Ti… I mean Celestia, how I was feeling at the time." Luna admitted regretfully "She may have been able to save me from the hell I made for myself." she sighed

"So you think I should just tell her, straight out.. How I feel about her?" he asked nervously.

"Spike.. I don't know if it is fare to tell you this but.. Sometimes I listen in on dreams." she admitted "You.. (Gulp) do!?" Spike began to sweat, which was quite a feet for someone who was cold blooded, as he thought of all the heated, puberty induced dreams, he has had about passionate moments with his childhood crush.

"Yes.. I do.. I sometimes listen and try to make them come true, if they touch me deeply enough. If they are frightening and unpleasant I try to calm them and comfort the sleeper with my magic. It is my special gift, besides raising the moon.

But that's beside the point. The point is that I have heard Rarity's most passionate dreams." "You have?" he replied with the wide and curious eyes of a student, who's master was about to open before him an ancient scroll and impart to him a great wisdom.

"Yes.. and above all she desires a gentle-col… er.. A person of refinement, someone who will treat her like a mare ought to be treated, with respect and adoration. Someone who would risk his life to save her. A hero, a knight in shining armor as it were. And when you came to rescue her from those Diamond Dogs, giving up the precious gift she gave you and charging in without regard for anything else but her safety, not even your own.. You proved you have the heart of a true hero."

"Oh.. You heard about that?" He asked while blushing profusely "I read one of Twilight's scrolls. As you know she is quite the stickler for detail." "Oh.. Yeah." he replied sheepishly "My point is Spike, you are exactly what she is looking for.. You just have to make her see it." she offered

"Well.. Um.. I'll go wake her 'magesty, princess bed-head'.." he held up his claws in quotation "and tell her you're here." Luna put her hoof to her muzzle and snickered

"Oh dear.. Is everypony in this town shunning my sister's daylight for a change?" her eyes widened with mirth "Aaaah don't know about the other ponies, but you know Twi.. She was up all last night studying and playing with her new 'My Little Chemistry Set'." he chuckled

"Well I wouldn't want to trouble you." "Oh it's no trouble," he claimed "I was just waiting for a good reason to wake her, lazy, fat, ass up… pardon my language." "Not at all." she dismissed, having spewed her fair share of verbal filth for the day already.

Spike walked up the stairs to Twilight's bed room and snickered with glee "Hey Twilight.. Get up.. You got a visitor, sister!" he said with a wink and a wry grin toward Luna and again she put her hoof to her muzzle knowingly.

"Damnit Spike.. Sense when do you not know the meaning of the phrase 'DO NOT DISTURB TILL NOON'!" she screamed "NOW GET THE PONY HELL OUTAH MY ROOM, AN LEAVE ME IN PEACE!" she bellowed and pulled the pillow over her head, to hear his voice no more

"Oh will you get your sorry ass up all ready? Princess Luna is here to see you." he answered.

"I don't give a good Celestiadamn if an Ursa Major is here to visit me, you can tell that winged cow to go take a flying buck over the moon!" she grumbled, but the princess heard it.

Her eyes were as wide as Spike's. She blinked twice with her jaw dropped in indignant shock "WELL.. That was awfully rude." she grumbled ("seems somepony got up on the wrong side of the stall this morning.") she scowled slightly.

Luna would never take such an insult from anypony else, accept maybe her sister, when they got into their shouting matches and tried to out curse the other, in a most unladylike fashion, but regardless, it was clear to the princess, that Twilight Sparkle was NOT a morning pony.

"Common Twilight.. You lazy ass mule.. It's almost noon already.. Now get up and show our guest a little courtesy, for buck sake." "Ooooh allright." she moaned "Give me a minute to do my mane." she sighed, realizing how boorish she was being.

Spike closed her door as Luna just giggled to herself, thinking how many mornings she had to arouse her sister in similar fashion, to raise the sun, after one of her long, all night, wild parties.

The more hung-over the sun princess was, the more fun it was for the little blue filly to disturb her.

"I'm real sorry about that Luna, she'll be a different pony ounce she gets her morning cup of coffee." he promised as he headed to the kitchen downstairs. "You care for some?" he said putting on a kettle of water on the stove, he had previously filled and turned up the heat.

"Oh no, thank you." she politely refused with a wave of her hoof. "I've already had my fix for the day, thank you very much." "Well I better get started on breakfast." he said putting on a little apron and cracking some eggs over a pan "care for some."

"No I…" Luna was interrupted by her own stomach growling and blushed with embarrassment, though the dragon could not hear her body's unrefined request, as he started tearing several blades of grass, alfalfa sprouts and daisy pedals into his omelet skillet.

Luna had been flying around all morning, had left without breakfast to get to Sweet Apple Acres early, and it was now almost lunch. "Yes I believe I will have some breakfast.. Thank you Spike." she smiled "You'll love my sunny side daisy omelets." he assured as he continued to cook his eggs. "I'm sure I will." she nodded and smiled with her eyes closed.

Luna sat down on the sofa, seeing Owlowiscious snoozing on a perch beside her. As she set her self down gently, he stirred slightly and opened one eye.

Seeing the moon princess was no threat to his slumber, he spread his wings and yawned, before closing his eyes. Luna couldn't help but do the same, as she put her hoof over her muzzle respectfully and deeply yawned with exertion.

She needed sustenance if she was to continue staying up today. "I know exactly how you feel my little nocturnal friend." she whispered and stroked his head and back.

Twilight and Luna had become very close lately. Luna would drop by and spend time with her and any friends who happened by the library, though Pinkie Pie just couldn't seam to get the name "Queen Meanie" out of her head, no matter how many times the princess asked her not to call her that.

She would promise not to refer to the princess as such and for awhile would not address her at all before she finally started using the hated nickname again and eventually Luna accepted it.

Twilight had actually developed a closer bond with Luna then she could have ever hoped to form with Celestia. Twilight could understand how Luna might have felt neglected, because her sister was so busy and didn't seam to have time to hear out her concerns.

Most of the time she and Twilight would just hang out in the evening and read quietly to themselves or the moon princess would bring her abacus and go over financial aspects of the kingdom, while Twilight went about her daily business in the Library.

Everything they did was apart from the other but also together and that was what they considered quality time with one another, and that really was all that mattered.

Consequently the owl was well familiar with the princess's presence and Twilight had long sense ceased addressing her with any formality or over inflated form of respect, that she wouldn't otherwise give her other five filly friends or her little brother Spike, who's job it seemed was constant to take care of the self neglecting mare.

Twilight emerged several minutes later, her mane neatly brushed down around her shoulders and her bangs straitened of all tangles. She wore an ocean green tank-top, with khaki cargo pants and she was bare hooved as she descended the steps from her bed room.

Her eyes were slightly baggy and her expression was a bit hung over "Oh.. Good morning Luna." she forced a smile "Nice to see you a… gain." Twilight paused to yawn, long and loud, her muzzle wide open and her eyes closed before she continued to descend the stair case.

"And they say I am not a morning pony." The princess smirked with her brow narrowed "oh.. I guess you heard all that earlier." Twilight replied with a sheepish toothy grin "Oh yes." she replied relishing in her friend's squirming "Sorry about that." she sighed "Think nothing of it, it reminds me of all the morning's I have had to roust my hung-over sister from her bed, just so she can raise the sun and then go back and crash and complain about her headache." she laughed

"I didn't know Celestia was like that." Twilight looked befuddled "Well you didn't hear it from me." Luna winked.

The two young mares and the budding young dragon were sat down to breakfast with the omelets on plates before them, and Spike with a big steak on his plate, rare, from AJ's own pasture. They all had a half of grapefruit in a bowl and some fresh squeezed, ice cold OJ, in glasses as they began to eat.

Luna talked to Twilight about Scootlaloo and the reclusive Librarian admitted she had never given the little filly much thought. She told Luna about the talent show debacle, and the day she somehow ended up telling her cutie mark story to them, but otherwise she never really hung around the CMC much.

Twilight liked her quiet time, for reading and unlike Luna, did not really relate to foals much.

After their brunch was done, Luna said "We'll take care of the dishes Spike.. Why don't you go and talk to Rarity?" she prodded "Nnnow?" he stammered "No time like the present." Luna added "Amen." Twilight agreed as she manifested a nice tux and tails for the young dragon, by draping an old blanket around him and changing it into the dapper suit.

As she dressed her little brother, Luna used her unicorn abilities to levitate the dishes over to the sink and set in motion the faucet and brush to clean them after adding soap.

"How bout the ole No 25?" he asked Twilight, refering to the growing magic she learned the day of Trixie's arrival. "You really should just be your self." Luna encouraged as she tried to keep her concentration for the locomotion spell.

"She's right Spike, remember Rarity didn't go for it last time either." she reminded "Well I was allot younger then, maybe now… common Twi.. I don't ask for much and I do allot of work around here." "Well that is true." Twilight considered for a moment.

"Allow me wont you?" Luna offered with a hoof to her chest and left the dishes enchanted for a moment to wash themselves and pointed her horn toward Spike. Her horn glowed brightly and a light brown fuzz appeared just under his nose

"that's it?" he replied with disappointment as he reached up to stroke.. nothing "A little fuzz?" "It's indicative of a male your age, and It will grow with time, that was no simple growing spell and besides.. The handle bar is so last century.. In these times, less is more." Luna encouraged.

Spike continued stroking his face "What do you think Twilight?" "Go get'er, tiger." she responded with an encouraging grin. "And on your way out, would you mind turning the sign on the door for me?" Twilight asked "Sure thing Twi." he said as he turned the "closed" sign around to "open" in the front door window.

While Spike left to go and begin his courtship of Rarity officially, Luna and Twilight remained at the table. The scholarly sorceress sat and sipped her coffee, each gulp making her feel a little more her young unicorn self. Luna was poking her grapefruit cautiously with a spoon. With the luck she was having, she was almost certain the juicy, tangy, fruit would squirt her in the eye, with it's acidic compound.

"So what brings you by so early, or late in your case?" Twilight was the first to speak after Spike left "Huh?" Luna asked, having her concentration broken "Are'nt you up way past your bed time." Twilight noted "You are nocturnal after all." "Oh yes.. Well.. My sister and I don't need as much sleep as um.. Mortal ponies. And besides I had someone special to see today."

"Oh that's right.. Today is the day you visit Apple Bloom." Twilight realized with a smile "So then what brings you by here? I mean I'm always happy to see you but…" "All evidence this morning to the contrary.. 'Lazy mule'."

Luna responded with a wry grin, to which Twilight looked away and blushed slightly "So I'm a winged cow am I?" she asked and Twilight's eyes went wide.

"Oh hea hea hea you.. You heard that did you?" she said nervously with a toothy smile "I believe you told Spike to tell me to.. Now how did you say it.. Oh yes.. Take a flying fornication over the moon." Luna responded, the dark side within her, reveling in Twilight's discomfort.

"Oh my.. You really did hear it all." Twilight realized "Look I never meant anything personal by it." Twilight sighed. Luna was fascinated by her tone being that of embarrassment and not of fear. It showed her that Twilight really did finally see her as an equal to all her other friends. "I do hope I didn't offend you terribly. I'm usually not so crude to my friends."

"It's all right. You should hear the filth that comes out of Tia's mouth when I wake HER hung-over ass up." Luna chuckled "Tia?" "Oh.. My pet name for Big Sis." Luna blushed slightly, as she revealed to the first pony ever, her most treasured name for her sister.

"Oh.. Do you have a pet name for me?" Twilight asked her guest "Well maybe I'll call you 'My Little Mule' from now on?" Luna chuckled "Oh.. Ok." Twilight accepted tentatively, much to Luna's shock. "I.. was joking." Luna admitted sheepishly "Oh." Twilight's face burned with humiliation.

Her mind raced to find a statement that might cancel out what she just said "Well you accept that horrible nickname Pinkie gave you." she rationalized "That's true." Luna thought while clutching her chin as she stared at the ceiling contemplatively.

"Well the truth is, I came to the Library to see if I could find some information on Scootaloo and her father." "Oh I see.. Well the town archives are in the basement, at least that's where the hard copies are and of course the main servers for the Library database." Twilight stared at the ceiling in similar state of deep contemplation "But everything can be found much easier on the Library computer." she admitted

"Oh.. I don't really like those things." Luna admitted "They have a way of sucking me in. And sometimes I am rather.. Ashamed and disheartened by where my searches take me." she blushed and mashed her fingers together nervously, thinking of the disturbing fan art of her having incestrious relations with her sister and other crude things.

"Maybe you just need to set your parental controls if it bothers you." Twilight offered "Well it's not so much the content that bothers me.. It's just theirs a time and a place for THAT kinna thing." Luna admitted as they both kinna just looked away from one another for an awkward silent moment.

"Well the main computer isn't really even connected to the Equestranet." Twilight said, pulling up the roll around chair from her desk, to the main console in the center of the room. "We use this to electronically store the archives for ease of reference and for a card catalog. If it isn't in the Library it isn't on the hard drive." she assured "Common I'll show you." she motioned with her hoof for the princess to come and watch.

"You're looking for some info on Scootaloo, so we'll just type her name in the search box, since we don't know her father's name."

Twilight pressed enter and several news paper articles with the Equestria Daily, Ponyville edition came up.

"Hmm.. 'Local Fillies Bring Down The House'." Luna read the title aloud as she leaned over Twilight's shoulder and continued to read

" After a horrible accident, with the props and set on stage, falling on top of them, local school foals; Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle won the award for best comedy act at the Ponyville Elementary School talent competition.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders, or C.M.C. as they had dubbed themselves were a smash hit with the audience, who were left in stitches, due to their impromptu comedy routine and not the destruction of the set that actually saved their floundering musical number, according to the account of several witnesses, including Apple Bloom's own sister; Apple Jack, by making the audience laugh, thereby netting them a prize for their hard fought effort.
No injuries were reported as the three Fillies only suffered minor scratches and bruised egos from the incident. They were elated to have won the prize but rather disappointed that the victory left their flanks still bare, according to miss Cherilee; the school teacher and administrator of the nights event, who spoke to the press soon afterwards.
Apple Bloom had commented that she now knew why they say "Dieing is easy, but comedy is hard." She was quoted as saying "It sure as hay is hard, cause it almost killed us. I guess that's why dieing is so easy, if'in comedy can kill yea." this she said to reporters as she pulled several splinters from her forehead, where the scenery had landed on her.
Sweetie Belle was quite distraught over her props and sets being destroyed, that she had worked so hard to build and design. She said she blamed herself for the accident and shyly declined to comment further."

They scrolled down to another news article as Twilight read the title " 'No Room For Jell-o'." and continued to read

" Local foals now infamously known as the CMC (Cutie Mark Crusaders) were questioned by the Provisional Marshal today, concerning the filling of the town mayor's bathtub with lime gelatin. Mayor Marelyn Hillary, Mayers had nothing further to comment, while CMC Member Apple Bloom had this to say-
"Ah asked Scoots what it was we was tryin to get fur a cutie mark by fillin the mayors tub with Jell-o and she just said we weren't. She said the mayor was just bein a b-i-t-c-h an she deserved it, because she passed a city ordinance, that ah pony couldn't ride a scooter more then 5miles per hour in the City Park. But by then we had already mixed the ingredients Pinkie Pie had given us."
Both CMC members; Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, were fiercely apologetic and the mayor chose not to press the issue officially. Instead she had the two foals dish out the lime flavored desert and serve it to the other children of the town for a charitable event in the park.
Local confectionary artist and confirmed "party animal" ; Pinkaminia "Pinkie" Pie, was there to lend a helping hoof, feeling somewhat responsible for the incident, and made sure the deserts stayed cold and fresh.
After the day was over, the two felonious foals and their pink pony partner in crime, got to enjoy a bowl of their own, before being escorted home by their respected guardians.
Both Sweetie Belle's mother; Marshal Treasury herself, and Apple Bloom's older sister; Apple Jack, refused to comment officially, other then to say that they were proud of the two foals for owning up to what they had done.
Scootaloo; the third CMC member and self appointed leader or "mastermind" of the Crusader Confectionary Caper, had abandoned the other two when they refused to leave the scene of the crime and could not be reached for comment.

"She abandoned them?" Luna was obviously quite shocked, given her knowledge of how close the three were, and had to read the last line to herself to be sure "Apparently so. I guess I was too busy to know what was going on that day." Twilight sighed

"Wait there's another one, scroll down." Luna requested as she pointed, at the screen with her callus index finger, tapping the glass, much to the Librarian's slight irritation.

" 'Local Blank Flanks No More?' ?" Luna was confused by the question mark in the title as she began to read.

" Local Mare Magician; only known as Trixie, "The Great and Powerful", was arrested by Royal Guard today and charged with foal-napping. It appears the eccentric young mare had been driving around Ponyville in a light blue, non descript van, with the words "FREE CUTIE MARKS" painted on the side.
Her advertisement inevitably got the attention of the local CMC members; Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, a trio known for getting themselves into trouble, in pursuit of the discovery of their special talents.
An amber alert was immediately put out when the three filly's failed to return home that night, and sisters Apple Jack, and Rarity and local athlete Rainbow Dash, tracked the trio and their captor to an abandoned military warehouse complex, deep in the Everfree Forest.
They caught the magician in the process of permanently branding her likeness into the flanks of the three foals, using a tattoo artist's tool.
Upon finding out what she had done to their sisters, both Rarity and Apple Jack proceeded to beat the obnoxious conjurer senseless.
By the time Marshal Treasury showed up, Miss Trixie had suffered several lacerations to the face, from the hoof beating she received, along with several broken ribs, a fractured jaw, a black eye, several teeth knocked out, a dislocated shoulder and a broken nose. Apparently Miss Rarity; a local fashion designer and shop owner, had held the mare steady while Apple Jack; a local farm mare and merchant, beat her nearly to death. When asked to comment as she was being loaded into the ambulance, Trixie had this to say-
"It was worth it! Worth it I tell you! I regret NOTHING!"
the Marshal commented sadly that she would probably get off with a light sentence due to an insanity plea and the fact that it was her first offense and no harm had actually been done.
On the contrary both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were elated at the acquisition of their new "so called" cutie marks. Sweetie Belle had little to say but Apple Bloom told reporters "Isnt it bee-ue-tiful!?" as she proudly showed us the smiling Trixie portrait painted on her flank.
The only thing that really upset them was when the Marshal and Sister Apple Jack, both announced that they would be surgically removed if necessary. That and the fact that their friend Scootaloo was nowhere to be found. Her alleged father could not be sought for further questioning.  
   
"So once more both Scootaloo and her father make themselves scarce when the heat is on. This is growing more suspect by the second." Luna said

"I remember that day." Twilight began to recall "Marshal Treasury and AJ came by, asking if there was anything in my spell books that could remove tattoos. I finally found one that was made to remove hex markings and runes from the skin." Twilight said "Apparently Trixie's likeness was considered to be a curse." she laughed.

"And what about Scootaloo?" Luna asked "Oh she came by later the next day when she saw her friends had gotten their's removed. Trixie had only finished one side of her flank and had started on the other when AJ kicked in the door. I removed her's more easily.

I believe Trixie got off with some light dungeon time, while waiting for a trial. She was driven quite mad, and received some help on the inside.

The judge had pity on her. I believe she is actually still on probation, Last I chatted with her though, she said she is rather enjoying her community service, at the Foal's Hospital in Fillydelphia." Twilight said with a smile. "Chatted?" Luna asked perplexed "Over the phone.. Or email?" "No we chat on 'My Little Space Page'."

"Oooh." Luna feigned understanding. "Trixie really isn't all that bad. You two might actually get along." Twilight offered

Luna took the mouse and scrolled down. There was some more articles on the CMC but nothing quite as spectacular as their first three adventures.

"Nothing on Scootaloo alone, in fact there isn't a single mention of her before the formation of the CMC, at the talent show." Luna sighed "No name, no address, no phone number, no certificate of foaling, no parents names.. It's as if she didn't exist, before she met the other two." Luna stood up and sighed to herself. "Thanks Twilight.. You've been a great deal of help. But I now know there is only one place left I can check."

"Where's that?" Twilight asked "Scootaloo claimed her father was an engineer at the Cloudsdale Weather Works. I will go there and see if I can find if anypony there has seen or heard of such a stallion. And if that does not work, then I will search my own library's archives in Canterlot for any record of her foaling." Luna said with determination.
