" EH? kid wake up." Rainbow Dash said groggily "We fell asleep out here last night. Come on Scoots wake up"
The little orange filly was curled up in a ball on Rainbow Dashes chest, she silently slumbered there. Honestly it was quite cute. RD had spent at least a hour staring at the Orange mass that resided on her chest. She saw the sun had came up and reluctantly tried to wake Scootaloo. a part of her wanted to let her sleep.
"Come on kid, wake up." RD pestered the filly sliding her of softly into the grass.
"Huh? What time is it?" Scootaloo said groggily,rubbing her eyes while ruffling her feathers and stretching
"I'm not sure champ, Like 7:00"
"Ugg, its to early." Scootaloo replied curling back into a ball
" Hey champ, you gotta get up. We have to get that cut checked out"
" Urg, fine." Scootaloo obeyed the command.
Scootaloo's body ached every where from a mixture of beating Diamond Tiara in to a pulp, running numerous miles and sitting in awkward positions most of the night. She had a slight limp, but after breaking down last night in front of Rainbow Dash she couldn't show any more weakness. She sucked up the pain and trekked on. They must not have been 500 feet from the tree when RD suddenly swooped under Scootaloo placing her squarely on her back, right between the wings. A little stunned at first Scootaloo got her balance and settled herself on the cyan pegasuses back.
This was totally awesome!! Scootaloo sat up, beating her own wings as fast as she could, no wonder RD liked flying so much, this was so fun! A constant giggle flowed out of her. but this journey only lasted a short time, before they knew it they had landed in the parking lot of Ponyville urgent. the two walked through the entrance ( well Rainbow Dash walked, Scootaloo road) to see Filthy Rich talking to some tall pony's in black suits, Apple jack and Apple Bloom sitting in the lobby and a green pony with a blond mane reading the new issue of ''Equestria Times". Rainbow Dash promptly walked up to the counter where Nurse Red Heart was sitting.
"Ma'am, could you help us. See my kid got in a fight at school and..."
This was interrupted by a mob of ponies surrounding the two,
Filthys team of men, the green pony and AJ AB all surrounded them. Every pony tried to talk at once, and without thinking Rainbow Dash place her hoof in her mouth and let out a screaming whistle.
"QUIET !!!!!!!"One at a time." RD directed.
"Scootaloo, you're ok!! you kicked Diamonds flank in to the next century." Apple Bloom Screeched out, getting dirty looks from every adult in the room.
" Uh Rainbow can Scootaloo come play. All those adult pony's wanna talk to you." AB said shyly
"Sure? i guess." RD said
************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The green pony spoke first,
"Miss.Dash, this is urgent may i speak to you alone?" The pony asked.
"Yes Ma'am" Rainbow Dash replied
Crossing the pale colored room over the dark green carpet and around the maroon chairs, They found a place to stand away from the rest of the crowd.
"I am Agent Rose Heart with the FPS ( filly protective services), i'm Scootaloo's social worker. I'm not sure if you heard but after her parents died she went into foster care, but was put in the high risk category for destroying some possessions that belonged to a foster parent. She was put through...."
Rainbow Dash stunned in all, interrupted the worker.
"You mean to say that she destroyed someones property?"
"Yes Miss Dash, now since she was put through the courts, all this will go on her record. She potentially could be sent to juvenile hall for her actions yesterday."
"So what are you saying?"
" Well i will have to talk to my supervisor but she will be most likely be moved to a group home until further notice."
" Why?"
"Since her current foster parents found out, They don't want her there any more. They think she is a threat and they don't want a court case on there hands."
"I will take her, she can live with me." Rainbow Dash blurted out
"Miss Dash, i don't know if I can let that happen. You would first need to be trained to be a foster parent, get background checked, get your house inspected..."
" Fine, I will do it"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Rainbow Dash turned away, Just in time to see Nurse Red Heart taking Scootaloo to get her head checked out.
" Hey kid" RD shouted towards Scoots
" Yeah Dash?"
"Are you going to be good in there?"
" Yeah i should be fine."Scootaloo promptly said
"Ok" Rainbow smiled
The door shut behind Scootaloo. Rainbow Dash walked over to where Apple Jack was sitting.
"Hey AJ" RD sat down and put her head in her hooves "Why are you here?"
" Apparently when those two had there tussle yesterday, Apple Bloom tried to break it up, but was bucked back and hit her head. i wanted to make sure she was alright."
"Really? wow, Is she alright?" RD said as she turned her head towards AJ.
"Yeah the doc says she just fell weird might have just pulled a muscle or something, But other than that, yes."
Right then Nurse Red Heart poked her head through the door, she did not look concerned. Rainbow Dash stood up.
"Miss Dash? will you come here please?" Nurse Red Heart asked.
"yes Ma'am?"
They 2 walked down a long corridor and around corner.
She never did like hospitals.
At the room farthest from the entrance sat Scootaloo. She sat on the check up room's bed playing with the paper that was spread across it and fidgeting with a tongue depressor.
"So the cut is pretty bad, she will need stitches but i would say she got the better end of the deal. The other young lady that was caught up in this disagreement came out of it with more serious injuries. Non life threatening."
" I was prepared for the stitches part. What did squirt end up doing to Diamond anyways? I just can't believe that she could have hurt her to bad."
" Your kid in there can seriously pack a punch, Miss Diamond Tiara managed to get a broken muzzle, a slightly fractured Temporal Bone. How she managed to fracture that, I am not sure. and around 10 stitches." Nurse Red Heart now held a piece of paper towards Rainbow Dash to sign.
"Good god, I cant believe she did that! Whats this?" RD asked
" Just a Form of consent saying i can treat you daughter." RH replied
" She is not my daughter." RD scribbled her name on the line
Am i really ready for a kid? Rainbow Dash rethought her choices
************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Leaving Scootaloo in the hospital room, she went to the waiting room. A part of her knew this was going to happen, The other part was caught off guard. When the Rainbow maned pegasus walked through the waiting room door to see a tan colored stallion turn and with rage started to rush towards her. This is something she did not take well.
"YOU.... YOU RAINBOW MANED FILLY FOOLER, YOU LET THAT NO MANNERED MULE ATTACK MY DAUGHTER!" Filthy Rich screamed at Rainbow Dash
"YOU UNEMOTIONAL, UNCARING, OBLIVIOUS FOOL. YOU HAVE LET YOUR DAUGHTER BULLY SCOOTALOO FOR YEARS, TO THE POINT OF TEARS EVERY DAY, AND YOUR YELLING AT ME."Rainbow Dash approached FR. with their faces almost touching she continued "YOU ARE A DISGRACE. YOU NEED TO GET A HANDLE ON THAT CHILD. THAT SPOILED ROTTEN BRAT GOT WHAT WAS COMING FOR HER!."
"Oh you call me the oblivious fool, my daughter is bed ridden until she gets her surgery. social exceptionable till her nose is fixed!" Filthy Rich grumbled "i will sue you for so much money that your grandchildren's ,grandchildren will be paying the debt off. you Stupid, uneducated, Filly Fooler."
"GET OVER YOURSELF!! being called a Filly Fooler doesn't affect me" RD bluntly said
Turning around,
Rushing outside, making sure to slam the door behind her. She then proceeded to fly to the roof of the hospital, and sit down. She dangled her hind legs of the building and looked into the distance.
It must have been 30 minutes that she sat up there.Looking up she saw 3 royal guards coming down from Canterlot. Lead by Flash Sentry, ( Twilight Sparkles boyfriend) Crimson Dart (Shining Armor's friend) and the third being one of her best buds since they met in the Crystal Empire, amazingly a mare. Silver Star.
Rainbow Dash shot to the ground to meet them. When they landed, she greeted them.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
.
'Hey Crimson, Hey Flash, Hey Starry" RD grinned giving them all a brohoof
" Dash, you know i don't like that, seriously" Silver Star said sternly, the boys both snickered. Silver replied by hitting Flash in the shoulder.
" Hey, what was that for?" He said jokingly, Silver Star ignored the comment.
" What brings you guys here?"RD said to break the tension
" We need to talk to that kid of yours." Crimson said
" Why? I really don't think this is necessary, it was just A fight. Honest."
"A fight? We had not been informed there was a fight. We need to talk to her about her brother." Flash spoke up
"Scoots got in a fight, seriously?. Who won. i bet Scoots did i reckon! Strong kid." Silver exclaimed
"She has a brother?" Rainbow dash Questioned
'
You didn't know? Yeah she has a older brother, High Flyer."
" I don't know anything about this kid, Her life seems to just be unfolding now. He should come help. She needs it. "
" He can't dashie. he was in prison. "Silver Star answered
Rainbow Dash was shocked
