Soarin was flying to Ponyville when he spotted Rainbow Dash
"H-Hey Rainbow Dash!" he called out
"Soarin, you need to control her!" Rainbow said
"Who?" Soarin asked, very confused
"Your sister! She and her friends have been printing a gossip column. Now every pony's dirtiest secrets are all over town!" Rainbow said, eyes watering.
"What did she do to you?" Soarin asked
"My friends convinced me to try a hoof massage, and I jumped up before they started, no reason, though, I just changed my mind. But some pony got a picture of me sitting on the spa bed, and gave it to them! I'm a laughing stock!" Rainbow cried,
"Oh, ok, I'll talk with her now." Soarin responded. Soarin flew into the town and immediately found Scootaloo. "Scoot! What's all this about a gossip column?" Soarin asked
"I-I didn't mean to. It was Apple Bloom's idea, but Diamond Tiara said we had to keep going, or she'd print gossip columns about us!" Scootaloo sobbed.
"Scootaloo, you need to understand that what you're doing is wrong. It's hurting other pony's feelings." Soarin told her.
"I know, but we all just want our cutie marks so badly, we'd do anything!" Scootaloo said
"Scoot, writing bad things about ponies is no way to earn a cutie mark." Soarin objected
"Yeah, you're right Soarin, but I don't know how we can make Diamond Tiara stop." Scootaloo sighed, and suddenly, Soarin had an idea.
"Listen, here's what you should do:" He leaned in and whispered his plan into her ear. Scootaloo nodded and agreed to try it. Later, Scootaloo ran up to him with her friends, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.
"Did it work?" Soarin asked eagerly.
"Yep!" Scootaloo said, then recited Soarin's plan.
"We knew that Diamond Tiara would blow her top if we didn't turn anything in, and she'd want to read over what we wrote. So, we wrote the apology together, like you suggested, then waited until the deadline. We ran in, dropped it on her desk, and she passed it over to the press without even glancing at it. We explained everything in the column; Diamond Tiara blackmailing us, how the fame got to our heads, how we didn't mean to hurt any pony, and apologized, of course." Scootaloo finished
"Cheerilee booted Diamond Tiara over to the printing press, and put Featherweight in charge." Apple Bloom said happily
"Well I'm glad I helped you three stand up for yourselves." Soarin said proudly, and Scootaloo hugged him.
"You're just doing your job, Big Brother." She said, smiling.
hey, this chapter is short, but i like how i worked in the plan as being Soarin's idea. with him not being a permanent resident, he would not have felt the wrath of Gabby Gums, meaning he would have been much more willing to help them because he would be the only one who would hear their side of the story. i thought it was kind of sad that no pony thought to ask the CMCs why they continued to publish Gabby Gums when everyone was mad at them, so i made Soarin that pony.
