Part 4: Family Appreciation Day

A/N: This is gonna be much like the Season 2 episode, except I will go for family appreciation day.

As I opened my eyes, I noticed that Twilight, her friends & the three fillies were all around me; I was lying on a soft bed.

"What happened?" I said, then sat on the bed.

"You were knocked out pretty hard. Ah tryed to wake ya, but you woldn't budge. Mah name's Applejack. You know Applebloom & the other fillies from their 'Cutie whatsitz."

"Cutie Mark Crusaders, Sister. Ahm just glad yer fine, Daemo." Said Applebloom.

"Heh. Thanks for worrying. It really means allot that you all care." I said, then removed my IV, got up & put on my clothes with magic.

"Daemo... I know this is all sudden, but... I wanted to ask... Can you come to my school for family appreciation day?" Said Scootaloo. All of a sudden I felt sad & happy at the same time.

"Why... I'd be more than glad to go to this family appreciation day. You're going to tell me what to do at the school." I said, stroked her mane twice, then she left in a hurry. It was 9:00 pm, so I guess in the morning was the appreciation day.

"Wow, Scootaloo really likes you." Said Rainbow Dash, then she left, knowing that I was ok.

"I'm glad you're safe, but I have to go. The library's still open & Spike is asleep." Said Twilight, then she left. Her other friends followed with the other two crusaders.

"At least I'm alone with my thoughts." I said, then checked myself out of the Hospital & headed to the sky, where I found the school. I sat down behind the school & waited as I dozed off to the morning...

...Ahhhhhhhh! That fucking school bell. I still had my leather jacket & my black tank top. My jeans were rugged & my boots were still fine.

I got up & waited for Scootaloo for a while when I noticed Applebloom & Applejack.

"What're ya'll doin' 'ere, Partner?" Said Applejack so I answered her.

"Just waiting for Scootaloo. Hi, Applebloom." Then Applebloom bumped her hoof with my hand.

After three more minutes & more family, I saw Scootaloo, she looked tired, so I carried her inside & set her on her seat.

"Oh, who are you?" Said the teacher, I remember her from the Meeting in Town Hall.

"Daemo. Scootaloo asked for me to be there for her during this activity. I didn't really come prepared for this, anyways." I said, but before I could walk out, Scootaloo rushed & was stopping me.

"Please stay, just please." She said, then I felt it, the connection with my sister.

"Alright. I'll stay here. I haven't told you this, but... you sound like my little sister." I said, then the teacher decided to intervene.

"Why don't you tell us of your life?" She said.

"Ok... This is going to be shorter than usual."

I started talking, everytime I would say something suspenseful, I stopped, then continued everytime after. I talked about my mom, the keyblade (I even unsheathed it & let the foals touch it), how I got here & how Scootaloo, Applebloom & Sweetie Belle were very kind to me.

Once I finished, everypony in the room was clapping, except for this queer filly with a tiara for a Cutie-mark... What's her deal? I'm pretty sure it was a pretty nice speach... Oh well.

"Bravo! That was a very amuzing & interesting." Said the teacher. I then sat down on a bench I spawned with magic. So after about five more presentations, the teacher said.

"Alright my little ponies, tomorrow we have a special day. It's Scootaloo's birthday!"

Everypony clapped & I knew that I had to give her something. It couldn't be just a small gift. It would have to be very special. Something... a message, yeah. That's good, but it needs to be better than some boring two-bit card... That's it! I'll write her a message on the clouds & finish off with a piggy-back ride to wherever she says. Perfect, I just hope it's enough...

I don't know why, but for some reason, my heart felt an intense pain. I tried to suppress it, but then I figured it out... My sister's birthday is tomorrow.

The teacher noticed I slipped a tear, so she approached me.

"Are you ok, mr. Daemo? You appear sad." She said.
"I'm fine, I'm just... remembering a few things from my past. By the way, what's your name?" I said, trying to avoid my subject.

"My name is Cheerilee, it was a pleasure to meet you. Are you coming for Scootaloo's birthday?" She asked.
"I've got something better in mind." I then whispered my plan & something more to her, so I can get her cooperation. She gladly accepted, then went to dismiss the students. So I headed outside to wait for Scootaloo.

After the bell rang, Scootaloo & her friends went to their tree-house.

"What do you want for your birthday, Scootaloo?" Said Applebloom & Sweetie Belle in unison.
"I don't know... Anything is okay. Besides, miss Cheerilee always gives birthday foals something 'special'." So I guess Cheerilee's gift is something boring... I hope my gift won't be boring.

After about two hours of watching the Crusaders' attempts at earning this "Cutie Mark" which represents a pony's special talent, what they were born to do... Through some research, I have somewhat realized what the Crusaders were born to do...

Applebloom: Special Talent: Apple Baking ( I'm not a cook, she'll have to figure this one out, or I could ask for a pie baked by her... Maybe it'll help...)

Sweetie Belle: Special Talent: Singing (with a little practice... I might convince her to sing with me for the surprise I planned)

Scootaloo: Special Talent: Her scooter (I'll find a way to 'move' her to use her scooter)

So I sped through Pony-Ville, sprinting as fast as I could... You'd basically only see a blur of dark color if I'd pass you. On my way there, I found myself having a small race with Rainbow Dash, which I ended up winning because I cheated, so she said.

Overall, this was a good day. Made some friends, raced a bit. But now I have to figure out what song to play for her birthday.

A/N: I'm thinking of playing Gold, by Owl City... It's a nice song, plus it's not that hard to sing... It's actually a pretty good song... Then at almost the end of this Fanfic, I'll play When Can I See You Again, by Owl City (I F $%ING LOVE Owl City) Alright, My Litte Wielders, stay beautiful, Laterz!
