               The news of their marriage had caused quite a bit of confusion for Scootaloo at first, seeing as she'd thought marriage could only be between a stallion and a mare. But once she'd gotten use to having two mothers, she seemed to be as happy as could be.

               But lately, things were not going so well. Scootaloo had been getting into a lot of trouble at school, and both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had been called into the principal's office more times then they could remember. It had all started when Scootaloo punched Diamond Tiara after the rich filly had made fun of her potential inability to fly. Before long, Scootaloo was picking fights with several classmates. Many of whom were her friends, or at the very least had never teased her.

              This time however, Scootaloo had really gone too far. Not only had she given Silver Spoon a swirly (causing the filly to lose her glasses), but she'd also been caught trying to ride Diamond Tiara like a skateboard. Luckily, Cheerilee had put a stop to it before Diamond Tiara could be seriously hurt (though Diamond Tiara was still fuming afterwards and vowed to get even, somehow). And so it was that Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were having yet another after school talk with Cheerilee about Scootaloo's behavior.

             "I know Diamond Tiara isn't exactly the nicest filly you've ever met, but that still doesn't mean Scootaloo's behavior is excuseable." Cheerilee said firmly "If I hadn't arrived when I did, Diamond Tiara could've ended up in the hospital, or worse."

             "Thank goodness that didn't happen." Fluttershy replied "I just don't know what gotten into our little angel. She use to be a lot nicer."

             "Yeah, she's barely even talking to me. And she won't tell me why." Rainbow Dash added "I get that she likes to keep things to herself, but this isn't like her. There's got to be something that's making her do all of this. I just wish we knew what that something is."

             "Seeing as nopony got hurt, I'll put in a good word for you two with the school board." Cheerilee explained "But if this keeps up you might have to answer to the child protection services. And I don't think they'll be as forgiving."

              This made Fluttershy very sad. She had wanted a filly more than anything, and she knew was a good parent. She knew Rainbow Dash was a good parent as well. She couldn't bear the thought of having Scootaloo taken away from them. Fluttershy buried her head into her wife's lap and sobbed.

              Rainbow Dash lightly stroked Fluttershy's mane, and spoke kindly to her to calm her down. "Any ideas on how we can fix this?" she asked Cheerilee.

              "I'm afraid I can't help you very much right now." Cheerilee said glumly "Why don't you try talking to Twilight? Maybe she'll know what to do. She's more of an expert on that sort of thing. For right now though, I've got to finish filing this report."

              Taking Cheerilee's advice, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash payed a visit to their friend Twilight. Or "Princess Twilight" as some of their friends called her. It was still odd to think that she use to just be a unicorn, and lived in a library inside of a tree. Now, she had a shiny new crystal castle, and ponies came to see her quite often. Heck, it was Twilight who had managed to cut through the red tape and allow them to adopt Scootaloo in the first place. Something the two were eternally grateful for.
