"Without thinking, I nuzzle Rainbow’s cheek with my own as we cross into Junior’s bar. I think I’m trying to tell her that everything will work out in the end—but it feels like I’m saying goodbye.
Rainbow understands. She nuzzles me back, saying goodbye as well."
— Twilight Sparkle
SCOOTS
is a prequel to Eyes Without a Face detailing Twilight Sparkle’s mutation into what she eventually becomes, and the second book in The Jubiverse.
After losing her horn to the Pie Sisters, Twilight embarks on a quest to hunt them down, aided by Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and her loyal assistant Spike. They’ve been on the chase for more than a year, and their patience with each other is wearing out fast…
You can find these Tropes in SCOOTS' trunk:
- And Now For Somepony Completely Different: Chapters often shift among the perspectives of its three protagonists mid-scene. This also includes a shift in tones, as well as writing the first sentence in their primary color.
- Blood Knight: Rainbow Dash appears to be shaping into one.
- Cool Car: The titular SCOOTS.
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Applejack explains to Twilight that they COULD have gone to Celestia or Shining Armor about all this, but no...
- Dumb Muscle: Played with. Despite offering her words of common sense, Applejack is still treated as if she's an idiot.
- Hot Pursuit: How the story opens.
- Morality Pet: Twilight only ever shows her softer side to Spike.
- Noodle Implements: A dramatic use of the trope. Apparently, the car chase at the beginning began right after a fumbled bargain with crooks.
- Protagonist Journey to Villain: Further exploring Twilight's descent into depravity.
