That's a good question. When I decided that I wanted Scoot to have a love interest, I was at first going to select an athletic jock boyfriend (or girlfriend) with whom she could run around and wreak havok. But then I figured it would be more fun if I gave her a special somepony who more or less populated the other side of the coin: a pudgy intellectual whose silent rivers run deep. Granted, when he got older he let his freak flag fly alongside hers, but I liked offering her the less obvious choice.



I did something similar with Babs and her love interest, hehe.
