Scootaloo was the pony known for her lack of foresight, but her loss drives Applebloom to run off in desperation, trying to fulfill one of the last promises she made to one of her closest friends.

This was a 60-minute challenge that I did for myself, just to get started on actually writing something. I took one hour to write this out with no forethought or planning whatsoever. I didn't even know what was going to happen when I first began. I hope the end result isn't too terrible- please give honest but considerate feedback. Personally, I kind of like how it came out, except for being a rather short little tale. If it's well-liked, and requested, maybe I'll write more.

Scootaloo loves her mother more than any other pony on the planet. On this particular night, however, her mother has a rather unsettling message for the young filly, and Scootaloo doesn't exactly realize the impact that it delivers.

Based on a poem/song I wrote entitled "Don't Cry"
