Ever wonder what goes on when the focus of a story isn't on it's main characters?
Ever wonder what a family does for fun when you're not watching them struggling on against life? Wondered what silly dreams and ideas come from their heads? When Scootaloo, Luna, and Celestia aren't out and about trying to find their true places in a world that would have them stand upon a pedestal, they do their best to spend time with their family. All of their family, from the Elements of Harmony, to Cadance and Shining Armor doing their best to drive each other crazy. They scheme, they plot, and they have fun in the time that they can spare for each other.
The stories here are one-shots, slices of life from within the Scootaverse, points in time that don't fit into the narrative of Scootamom, or it's sequels, but still took place. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Celestia Vs. The Great Devourer: It can't possibly be that hard to walk into Sugarcube Corner to order some normal bread and trot out without a bucketload of cupcakes, right? Pinkie and Celestia seem to think so.
Chapter 2: Luna would disagree with Pinkie's treatment of Celestia. But first, she must do battle... with the Pinkie Sense! Can she escape becoming a full moon?
Your title image sold me, even before the story itself!
The story sells itself though.
I feel your pain Sunbeam! For I too suffered from the great devourer this morning! I had Apple pie and a cookie for breakfast....
Damn that crafty fiend!
Oh, and
I think you mean YARNthulu
Echo-chamber hugbox device toggled. *pushes "like button"*
It was a sweet Slice-of-life story. :D
Oh, Luna. Luna you shouldn't have said that...
This is great. :D I love how eldrichy you made Pinkie. Not that it takes much work for that. ;)
Since when does Celestia have a daughter?

You know, if you clicked the link in the description that tells you it's part of a larger story universe, it would help.
I see it now oh the moon pies so many moon pies.
Read it with the music... So... EPIC! That was like awesome mode or something. Just the idea of Sunny walking in to get cupcakes with that in the background makes me laugh.
faved before reading...
and the Scootaverse never fails to disappoint
1990158
wait...i think i did that wrong...
Oh Luna, you know not what horrors you suggest.
BWAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA.... the music is perfect for this chapter. Poor Celestia...
I can see Luna Being Utterly Unnaffected, Absolutely Blowing Everyone's Minds And causing her to wonder what all the Fuss was about, Destroying The Pink One's Eldritch Power over the Townfolkes Once and For All! I can Also see her Lying in a Room, Crying while shoveling Sweet Pastries Into her Mouth Uncontrollably, Washing it down with Soda and Shouting Don;t Look at me Whenever someone Enters her Domain of Feastery and Shame, Too.

You have all of my faves for this. I had to stop midway through just to catch my breath from laughing so hard.

Unfortunately, despite what she thinks, Luna is NOT Captain Jack Sparrow. She's Barbossa.
I'd still like to know when Burt Reynolds had anything to do with this??
2180135
Which is why she got the hat, with a really big feather, Admiral...
is that a JAMES BOND Reference I spot!? if it is, then THIS music needs to be played:
Ah, so ponies have mastered the art of Dwarven Battle Bread. Good to know.
Is it wrong that I think this chapter feels like something from a Dr. McNinja comic?
Gee Luna, how much of a drama queen are you?
2181677
A fragment of her becae Trixie's far hammier mother. She is the QUEEN of Drama. You know, the mare who made the night last forever becaue she was forever alone?
2182275 Yeah, Nighttime Eternal can be considered as a god-tier tantrum from Lulu.
Holy Hell, I remember playing that song for part of an orchestra concert in 7th grade. If you think it sounds epic as is, then you seriously fuckin' need to hear it being played by sixty violins, forty violas, another forty cellos, and half a dozen basses.
Oh, and hilarious chapter.
Woo, Despite not logging onto this site for a week, I still managed to read this Chapter while it was less than a day old ^.^
This was Ridiculously Brilliant. The Imagery in my Head is just Plain Superb
Oh, this was great.
Luna, Luna... don't even try against Pinkie. Just take the sweets and go.
The Zorro reference killed me. Oh, and everything else about this one.
(But if anyone asks, I'm still gonna go with Zorro.)
I didn't see the music (rendered a little slow), but as the story progressed, I could hear it.
Pinkthuku? The Unspeakable Appetite Stimulator? Flee, but expect not to survive.
"Please, Tia. What's the worst that could happen?" Why not just say, "It'll be easy" to a Shadowrunner?
2180135 Well, no wonder she lost.
2185847 Armor can't lift himself on his own hooves; Cadance won't come out of her room: "I'm FAT!!"
And now, it's time for Weird Al Yankovic...
Well, looks as though I'm going to have to fall into another 'verse. First Firefly, then the Winningverse, and now the Scootamom-verse.
Stephen Hawking would have trouble describing these, other than to say, "Interesting..."
That was beautiful.
Y'noticed how you can fit an 'Scoota' into almost any word?
"You let her turn it into a joke". That's so brilliant I can't even.
2246383
Oh great, he's started making Scootajokes.
So... I see someone has been watching Jakie Chan Adventures. You did forget a certain line...
Uncle Pie? Well that explains a bit
Sorry, Pinkie, but it's not like you can clone yourself or something. Because that would be downright mad.
(Nervous glancing)
Also: Shining Armor seems to lack hint-taking abilities. Just like his sister then.

If I said what she did, I would spoiler the climax of the second book. I will say that she did it in a way that is going to jackass genie on her.
Each of the books (there are seven total) is basically an Elder Scroll. Possibly written by Starswirl, or temporal artifacts, or something else entirely, nopony knows. Nopony knows what they're actually meant to do, other than that they display the most likely timeline and can alter it via input. After the first few times, Celestia stuck them in the shop and threw away the key. You know as much about them as anypony in universe.
2299804
Nope. Though Sun would get it, since it was inspired by his WiW series.
2299542
Cadance altered it twice, once to make herself an alicorn (the little cheater) and the second time to make it so Luna could find her special somepony...though whether that's in the past (pre-NMM) or near future (yet-to-come in Scootamom) is unclear
2300458
She has altered it at least twice.
Once to prevent her foalnapping before her wedding (which was displaced to the events of the sidestory).
Once to give Luna and [Redacted and Fuzzy] a CHANCE of hooking up.
Uncle believes she altered her destiny to give herself wings (which may be not far from the truth, I'm not saying yet), ala Twilight. But he has no proof.
2300504
Wait, i thought Shiney was the one who altered the wedding?comment nullified, I can't read
Oh yeah, always love some entertaining Cadence & Shining Armor antics.
Uncle, huh. Wasn't expecting the Jackie Chan Adventures influence, but I can't say it's unwelcome.
Book of Destiny? Seems a little dangerous for Cadence to become messing with that. I'm really curious about this lover for Luna, I wonder what makes him or her "odd" by even Cadence's standards. And now Shining is messing with it too. I suppose it may turn out to be a good thing they both wrote in it, but my first response is just:
Ponyville, I knew the shop was going to end up in Ponyville.
Uncle Pie, of course.
2301842
They didn't write in the same book. Cadance wrote in ablue one, Shining wrote in one bound in crimson and brass that spoke of battle. And there are more of them out there.
2302097 Oh, I missed that. Thanks for the clarification.
Looks like we have another member of the Pie Clan to worry about.
Also, why do everyone (including me, of course
) like making Shining Armour acting childish and Cadence an eccentric hyperactive girl? It only makes them even more fun to read about their disaster-prone adventures.
2302484
Shining only gets childish when Cadance eggs him on, or when he's running screaming for his life from alien hordes. It's a coping mechanism. You see him smooth operating when he doesn't deal with her.
Cadance, though, listens to Neigh-Pop, has a nyan-pegasus in her room, and is a genki girl. That tends to happen when everything looks up for you and you're the alicorn of love.
Not much more I can say, except excellent action. Loved Uncle. *Waves a shiny bauble in front of Pinkie Pie* Run faster, foals!
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Is that an expy of Uncle from "Jacky Chan Adventures"?
2318415
If I say yes, will you run away screaming?
