Growing Pains

Gongonzola's

After Scootaloo recovered from her stomachache. Rainbow Dash took her on a 5 hour walk around Ponyville. She differently felt that she needed the exercise. "How ya feeling Scoot?" "Oh ok" She answered tired. "You are a real trooper we'll stopping for dinner here"

The place Gorgonzola's Pizzeria proudly Ponyville's first pizza eatery as the sign states. Inside a small humble restaurant with everything you'd expect to see from such a place and a Wall Of Fame of famous visitors Rainbow Dash among them. They got a booth in the back

"Ever been here before?" "Oh yeah the pizzas great" A stallion came over to them. "Aw Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo I remember you from last time how are you ladies doing today?" "Good I'm taking my sister out for dinner" "Need time yes I'll be back" And he left

"Mr. Gorgonzola he's a big tidy bear" Dash said getting a menu. "He's really sweet" Scootaloo added. "Grandson of the founder of this place you know" "Pizza made from a stone oven is the best" "My thought exactly so what will you drink?" "Uh water" "No your not" "I'm not?" 

"Your having pop" "Pop?" "Don't tell me you're not allowed and I've seen you drink it before? "No of course I am but it's just that" "Scootaloo is something the matter?" "No I just want to watch my weight is all I know me I'm worried and I know your say I'm too young to think about that"

 "No I'd say your never old enough to worry about that you know weight doesn't affect your flying capability even an overweight pegasus can fly" "No it's not that I just I know it's silly" "No it's not silly do you feel insecure about your weight because you have classmates especially other fillies who tease you or your just comparing yourself to those who are in better shape then you"

She sat up on her set exposing her stomach and ran a hoof over it. "My stomach isn't flat and I'm a top athlete at the peek of the season I'm a bit thinner but the weight on my hips don't go away and Soarin my teammate eats more than I do because he's one of those of course at my thinnest during the season he has more weight then I do"

 "But that's different it's different for us" "Who us us females yes it is I do get comments from time to time" He came back. "We'll have 2 root beers and a little bit more time" He left again without a word

"Your beautiful Scootaloo I'm not just talking about your body looks aren't everything I'm not gonna say I expected you to understand that I know how you feel you have confidence in yourself you're smart, funny, kind, compassionate, loving, a great friend and I've noticed that the colts have noticed you"

"Rainbow Dash" "Tell me I'm wrong have you ever been asked out?" "Rainbow Dash stop it" "Well?" "Well yes I was asked out today" "You see"
