Story: Our True Colors


[Sad] [Normal]

Author: Donny's Boy
Description: Scootaloo has never really cared much for Pinkie Pie,
and she definitely doesn’t like the way Pinkie calls her hero
“Dashie.” But for some strange reason, Pinkie seems fixated on her and
insistent on meddling in Scootaloo’s life. Whether Scootaloo likes it
or not ...
Our True Colors

How can someone not like Pinkie Pie! This story makes no sense!XD

Cloudy Haste said...

We'll take a look.
Yesterday we read most of Donny's Boy's stories!

Unusual character interaction? I'm in. I don't think these two have ever had any screen time, have they?

CityFlyer502 said...

Wow. This one took a while to get here. I already read through it quite a few times. It's not "sad" sad. Everything sort of works out in the end. But it does have a few depressing points in it. In my opinion, it's a very good read.

Baree said...

About time this got on here. Read it, its worth it.

Baree said...

@kihap Don't forget Cutie Mark Chronicles.

CaptainDash said...

I thought of the Ask Pinkamena Diane Pie tumblr when I saw this. Is that wrong?

Krizak said...

This story is one of my favourites. Honestly, almost everything by Donny's Boy is one of my favourites.

I had no idea what to make of that summery
I thought at first it was like a RD/Pinkie Pie ship with Scootaloo trying to stop it(I would support that)

Two characters in a very strange interaction, based on one of the most underused CMCs? I'll try it

But Pinkie and Scoots were having fun jumping rope together during "Smile, Smile, Smile" The only time Scootaloo acted annoyed with Pinkie was when she was trying to find Rainbow to hear her cutie mark story and Pinkie wanted to tell hers, but Scootaloo was pretty much annoyed with everyone who wasn't RD that day.

Bronyhub said...

Huh, I like Pinkie Pie, and her stories are usually pretty interesting. Might have to give this one a go. Off to the "to read" pile with you!

> Begins with two government ponies trying to take a young filly to an orphanage
> I think I can see where this is going...

AlanJCastonguay said...

Submitted complete multi-chapter story? Scootaloo? Bittersweet backstory? All my loves.

Nostalgia Schmaltz said...

@The Invincible

Cutie Mark Chronicles and a short scene in Cutie Pox (if you can even count that)

coldshoulder said...

a story . . . about both Pinkie Pie AND Scootaloo . . . i must read this. i must. I Must. I MUSSSST. Seeing as it is about my top 2 favorite ponies. ^ ^

Rerick513 said...

This was a beautiful story that was very well told. It's defiantly bittersweet but it leaves you feeling good at the end. Almost makes me wish they made episodes like this every once and a while.

CaptainDash said...

This is actually really sad in some parts, I'm feeling it in my throat.

David Johnston said...

The problem is, in order to become a CMC she has to be enrolled in school.

Sam Richardson said...

OH that was just really good. I always wondered where scoot fit in ponyville. she never really had any relations to any other pony, she was just kinda there. What with scootaloo's back story being non-canon in this, I cant truly say this IS what happened. But this is what will come to mind when i think of her

CaptainDash said...

@Sam Richardson It's definitely fanon now that she's a orphan, often homeless. Same with Pinkie and AJ. It seems we like the idea of parent-less ponies for some odd and bizzarre reason.

Overlong Analysis Cobalt said...

Yes, this is quite good. It's a bit of an old concept, but it does a lot of things I've not seen before with it, and it well written. A compelling, feel-bad-then-good story, and entirely recommended.

coldshoulder said...

The only thing that came to mind after reading this story is that it is nothing short of beautiful. I usually avoid anything with a sad tag but I could not resist the call of a fic staring my 2 favorite ponies and I am happy I didn't decide to scroll over this story. I recommend it to any pinkie pie or scootaloo fan out there. this needs to become a 6 star fic in my opinion. Its just so … so … beautiful.

Adam said...

I really liked this one.

starlitalpha said...

i read this awhile back and thought it was adorable. it makes me sad in the good way.

VioletRhapsody said...

oh my gosh, bestest story ever!

ItsTheWhinyGuys said...

Well, this was pretty heart-warming. The interaction of Pinkie Pie and Scootaloo was certainly enough to get me interested, and I don't regret checking it out. Though there were a few minor grammar issues, it was on the whole good.

The only real complaint I have is that I was a bit confused towards the end: Unless I missed something, I didn't see any indication that Scootaloo had stayed with Pinkie more than one night. I think maybe a little bit more time could have been spent on establishing just how long Scootaloo had been coming over, and how much they'd grown to like each other.
