Growing Pains

The Pegasus Talk

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were waiting outside for Scootaloo. Rainbow Dash come back as she said she would. Scootaloo told her friends they all hugged. "Rainbow Dash" "What?" Dash was flying home. "I think I have another problem" "What's that?"

"Well lately I've been tried a lot like I've been getting enough sleep at night but I keep falling asleep in class" Rainbow landed on a cloud. She slid Scootaloo off her back and turned to her. "Have you talked to your aunts about this?" "Yeah Holliday suggested I get more sleep and I have but well" "What about Lofty?"

"I haven't been able to talk to her lately Miss Cheerilee suggested I see a doctor" "Perhaps but right now let's get you home" At home there was less stuff in the house. "Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash hi" "Hi" "So you know I guess" "Yeah sorry to hear about this" "Thanks" "Uh so parent teacher conference is tonight"

"Oh that's tonight Scootaloo I want to talk to Rainbow Dash alone ok" "Ok" And she went to her room. "Rainbow Dash I'm not sure I can do this" "What do you mean?" "The parent teacher conference do something for me to for me" "Well I guess I can if you want me too" "All these years we were so happy I don't know what went wrong"

"So Scootaloo told me she's been feeling tired a lot lately" "Yes she gets 10 hours of sleep and still falls asleep in class I don't know what the issue is" "Well I think I know what it might be but you still should set up a doctors appointment you know just to make sure nothing wrong I'm going to talk to her"

She went to her room Scootaloo can I come in?" "Yes" She went in. Scootaloo was at her desk drawing. "Whatcha doing there?" "Oh nothing" "I'm not interrupting private time with your diary am I?" "What no way like I would even keep one" "Right anyway come sit with me" Dash sat down on Scootaloo's bed and she joined her

"Your tiredness is probably nothing to worry about it's a sign your growing up" "Rainbow Dash I've already had this conversation" "No it's not that it's something specific to Pagususs " "Uh what's that?" "You know what metabolism is right?"

"Yeah" "Well you see Pagususs have high metabolisms we burn calories faster and we also get tired faster and so it's around your age when the Pagusus metabolism starts to run at its normal speed which is probably why your more tired now" "So what do I do about it?"

"There's a couple of things you can do sleep more or eat more" "Is that why you sleep so much?" "That and I just like taking naps now somepony like Soarin eats a lot for that reason and he really loves food" "Anything else you can do" "There are supplements you can take I told Holiday to get you a doctors appointment just to make sure there's nothing wrong with you"

"What should I do?" "The choice is yours" "Well that and Holiday she's really upset and shaken by Lofty leaving her" "Yeah well with your parents faraway your her family she needs you so just be you don't need to say anything in face just being here is all you need to do"
