"Look, it's the filly with no family!"
It was the same insult every day, whether she was at the park, school, or anywhere else. Scootaloo hated being picked on, and even when she tried to tell the other kids the truth, they wouldn't believe her. It had gone on for as long as she could remember, and there was no stopping it. At least, not til today.
"Remember, class, tomorrow is career day! Make sure your parents know so they can come talk to the class!" her teacher announced.
"Too bad Scootaloo doesn't have parents!" a colt taunted. The teacher glared at him, but there was nothing more she could do.
"Dad had better show up tomorrow…" Scootaloo muttered to herself, ignoring the other students as she made her way home. She knew this was her best chance to end the bullying, and she hoped it worked out.
The next day, the class met outside in the courtyard, making room for all the parents. One by one, they would stand in front of the class and tell the kids what they did for a living. Some jobs were cooler than others, however, which led to some kids being praised and others being ridiculed. Applejack, Scootaloo's mom via adoption, had shown up and showed off all her skills with apples. While not the worst job shown, it wasn't very popular.
As the presentations continued, Scootaloo hid her face. The kids had finally stopped teasing her for not having any parents, but were now teasing her because of her mom's "lame job". The orange, magenta-maned filly was on the verge of tears as presentations came to an end, when suddenly the sound of an engine was heard. Scootaloo looked up to see a limousine pull up to the school, and for a second, her heart stopped. Could it be?
The back door of the limo opened, and out stepped a pale yellow, light blue-maned stallion in a black suit. A pair of sunglasses were perched on his face, preventing the kids from seeing his dark, grayish blue eyes. The unexpected pony walked to the front of the group and took off his glasses, the last presenter having just finished.
"Who is he?" one filly questioned in awe. The young pony's question was soon answered. With the teacher's permission, the mysterious stallion began to speak.
"My name is Austin Keith; I'm Scootaloo's dad," he began. Scootaloo could barely contain herself; this was what she had waited for!
"I'm the Vice President of Talent at World Wrestling Entertainment, AKA the WWE. I deal with everything involving the wrestlers, including their contracts. I also have an on-screen role where I get to make matches, and even wrestle a little myself," Austin explained. The kids were awestruck, and started a chant to try and get Mr. Keith to wrestle for them.
"As much as I'd like to do that, I can't stay long enough. However, I do have a DVD of the last Pay-Per-View for any kid who wants one!" Austin said, silencing the chant. The kids were excited to get the free merchandise, and soon Scootaloo was being praised for having such a cool father.
"Alright, kids, say goodbye to your parents before we go back to class," the teacher interrupted. Scootaloo walked over to Austin and Applejack, and immediately hugged her mom. Then she turned to her dad.
"Thanks for coming, dad, that meant the world to me," she said. Austin picked her up and gave her a big hug.
"Anything for my little Sugarscoot."
