I read that news story the other night, and my heart just broke. At least the community of MLP fans is amazing and coming together for the young members.

In complete difference of feelings, I
am flailing right now. Scootaloo has been seen on the Build-a-Bear website. I have been waiting for Scoots to be revealed ever since Build-a-Bear had a survey asking what pony characters people wanted to see. Scoots was a definite answer, and I absolutely love the fact that she'll be released. Hopefully soon.
I wonder if she'll be like the Spike plushie that was released through Build-a-Bear. Spike's just a perfect size for me to have where he's big enough to cuddle with and not get lost on my bed while small enough to fit in my backpack no matter how many books I have in there. Plus, he was a perfect price ($10) and so easy to get. Just walk in the store, grab a Spike, and pay for him.
Scoots. Scootaloo will be joining my tiny pony army mostly made up of Rainbow Dash clones.
Rarity and Sweetie Belle will be joining Scoots. No sign of the Apple family.
