Growing Pains

Dinner

The filly was blushing and wiped her eyes. "Thanks" The pony restaurateur came back with there drinks. "We'll have a large margherita" "Coming right up" Once they were alone again she continued. "listen I'm not saying wanting to uh be in shape is a bad thing but you"

 "I shouldn't be insecure about my body" "Ideally no there's probably more here then I can resolve but I can help the little bit that I can I can help you lose weight if that's really what you want but depriving yourself of life's joys isn't the answer" Scootaloo took a drink of root beer

 "You have helped I haven't felt like I could talk to any pony about this" "I'm always here for you talk to Holiday and your friends and any pony who you feel comfortable with there support you" 

 "Uh I'm tired" "The days not over yet kid" They made casual conversation. CMC stuff, stunts Scootaloo was planning, how Rainbow Dashs work was going, stuff in the news. "I know it's been same time but I haven't told you I'm sorry about the loss of your friend"

 "Thanks it's fine you've been dealing with your own stuff I've experienced loss loss of relationships, of others it gets easier with time" There pizza is brought out. "Enjoy" "Alright let's dig in" Scootaloo by Rainbows prompting ate most of the pie" "Uh that was filling" "You alright?"

 "Yeah I'm good" "Good because there's more" "There is?" "Yeah there's more unless your not up for it" "Oh I'm up for it" "Great I'm gonna pay the bill wait here" She left the table and went up front

A colt about Scootaloos age was busing a table near he wasn't close enough to have heard the conversation across from him up. She looked at him and he looked away. "What what are looking at?" "Nothing nothing not at you" He slapped his face. "I I mean" He walked up to her

"If I may be so bold your uh pretty" He wrenched maybe expecting a blow to the face. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Thanks your not so bad yourself" She blew him a kiss. "Tony" A voice shouted and he ran off
