"Alright Scoots, now that you're all taken care of, we need to start thinking about a coltfriend for you." said Applebloom.

"What? No way!" shouted Scootaloo

"Oh come on Scootaloo, children without fathers grow up to be distrusting of males and afraid of commitment." said Sweetie Belle.

"What are you, a child psychiatrist?" asked Scootaloo.

"I'm just saying that you're probably going to want somepony else to help you take care of the egg once it hatches."

"Well, it does get stressful sometimes…"

"Yer just sittin' in a nest all day!" shouted Applebloom.

"Hey, you try sitting in one place for an entire day!" shouted back Scootaloo.

"Calm down you two! Okay, Applebloom and I are going to Ponyville to try and find a coltfriend for you. You just stay there and keep the egg warm. We should be back soon." said Sweetie Belle.

Scootaloo sighed as the two fillies left the clubhouse, soon for them could be anywhere from ten minutes to a few hours. She curled up around the egg and dozed off.

"All right, how do we figure out who's the best pony for Scoots?" asked Applebloom.

"We could sing about it." suggested Sweetie Belle.

"Nah, that didn't turn out too well last time. Scoots and Big Mac aren't meant for each other." said Applebloom.

"Well then how are we going to find Scootaloo's very special somepony?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"We could host a game show! We gather up a bunch of colts, hide them behind screens, Scootaloo can ask them questions and then she chooses which pony she likes the best and he must be her special somepony!" shouted Applebloom excitedly.

"Yeah!"

"Now all we need are some colts…"

Some came willingly, some less so, and some even required a bit of physical coercion, but they finally got a decent group of colts gathered behind an opaque screen in the clubhouse.

"Alright, I got Pip!" said Applebloom, dragging a wriggling sack into the clubhouse.

"Great! Just toss him in with the others!" said Sweetie Belle.

"Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the contest for Scootaloo's heart!" shouted Applebloom.

"We only have five booths set up, so all but five of you will be weeded out by some questions…" Sweetie Belle said ominously.

Applebloom pulled a note out of a hat, "First question, use one adjective to describe Rainbow Dash."

"Awesome"

"Cool"

"Epic"

"Super cool!"

"Arrogant"

"Fast"

"Uh, blue"

"Sorry Snips, 'super cool' is two words. Whoever said 'arrogant' is out. And… well I guess 'blue' counts." said Applebloom, "Also, whoever didn't answer in time is out too."

Snips and a few other colts left the clubhouse.

"Second question," said Applebloom, "Wow, Scootaloo sure looks silly sitting in a nest in the middle of the clubhouse…"

Scootaloo blushed.

"Whoever wrote that and snuck it into the hat is out!" shouted Sweetie Belle.

One colt left the clubhouse.

"Okay, now for the real second question!" said Applebloom as she pulled another note out of the hat, "Are you ready for commitment?"

Half the remaining crowd dashed out the door, leaving five colts left: Snails, Featherweight, Pip, and two other colts.

"Okay Applebloom, we should probably take Pip out of the sack now." said Sweetie Belle.

"Alright everypony, get behind the screens!" shouted Applebloom, as she struggled to undo the knot on the writhing sack.

With the five colts behind the screens, the contest for Scootaloo's heart began.
