An Oliver Twist fan eh? I like the subtle reference here!
There are... so many ways to read into that statement!
While I do like the headcanon of orphan Scootaloo, a fic like this is refreshing every once in a while, and this was good. Well done!
Well, that's certainly a sly way to interpret the prompt. I honestly didn't see this coming, even with the hint in the title. Nice work.

Thanks.
Yeah I pretty much wrote that line with the idea of 'what's the most inappropriate and insane thing Pinkie could say that would make total sense once you understood the context.'
I saw that reveal coming, but that might just be because I've had a rather similar idea myself, though I haven't gotten around to working on it at all.
I'm surprised nobody before me has posted either of these videos (take your pick):
Thanks for writing!

>Cheerilee is not an orphan
I only have one question: did you ever think about who would play Daddy Warbucks and Grace Farrell? Or...no, I guess Warbucks still works as a pony name, though it wouldn't hurt to alter the 'war' part. Barnbucks? Grace on the other hand would need an alteration to her last name. Maybe Farrier?
Either way, I just want to properly imagine Scootaloo acting out the story. At least the scenes with Warbucks and Farrell anyway.
