“Hey, do you still have that one book?” Rainbow raised an eye at the purple alicorn, hoping she’d catch on.
Unsurprisingly, she didn’t. “What book? I gave you all the Daring Doo books, their due tomorrow, by the way,” she said, restocking the shelves, and replacing the checked out books with dividers.
Regretting her friends inability to comprehend her needs, she stopped flying and took the princess's head in her hooves, pressing her mouth against a lavender ear. “You know. The book the Cutie Mark Crusaders checked out,” getting a blank stare and a book on cats, she continued. “The book they used for Cheerilee,” yet again, she got a book she didn’t ask for, this time a book on Cutie Marks. Raising a hoof to her face, and dropping her head into it, she sighed. “The book on love,” blushing slightly at her embarrassing request, she dropped Twilights head, and hoped she’d comply.
Giving her multi-colored friend a look of disgust, and interest, she backed away slowly. “What do you want with that book?” Walking backwards as Rainbow Dash grew closer, she tried to further herself even more, “Stay back! Stay back and I’ll give you the book!” Witnessing her friend back up slowly, she sighed in relief, not knowing what the pegasus would do if denied.
Books thrown on the floor, trampled on by the cyan pony. Broken glass and pages scattered around the room. Dampened pages in the oldest of documents, and fire consuming the newest. Her treehouse, library, books, and beloved letters from the princess, all scorched by fires and wide spread consuming flames.
Aside from the replaceable objects left damaged or inflamed, her beloved dragon son’s molting flesh boiling off into the raging inferno. Her Newly founded pet owl, roasting alive inside the buildings fallen structure. Her family, destroyed over a book, and nothing more, Laid to waste by her once held dear friend, upholder of Loyalty, Rainbow Dash.
Locked away in a prison far off the mainland, she’d rot to death in a cell guarded day and night, not being allowed any sanctuary in her own death. Bound to a wall, left speechless and alone for the rest of her life. All because she wanted a book on love. A book she never got. A book left in the Hands of the inferno from the days long ago.
‘I can’t allow that to happen. I don’t want that to happen. I know I’m not supposed to, but i need to. I don’t know what she’d do if i don’t give it to her. Please let this be the right answer.’
“Um, Twilight? Why are you crying?” Raising up the wing of her friend, she got snuffed out. Trying to lift up the wing again, she was hit with a book. Ready to complain, she realized it was what she wanted. “I’ll just… Let myself out.” Taking flight and heading to the closest window, she removed its lock, and pushed it out, “I hope you get over… What you’re crying about. Bye!” shooting out the window like a dart, she plummeted to the floor outside, losing the book to a squirrel, and getting a face full of dirt. “You’ll leave that book, if you value your life, squirrel.”
Leaving the book on the floor and backing away, it dashed up a tree to watch the mare do her daily activities, ‘I didn’t even want the book.’ Angered at the rainbow colored pegasus, he threw a small twig at her, not getting noticed, or paid any mind.
“Okay girls! Lets make this happen!” Throwing her hoofs on the table, the three fillies added the last ingredient, once again. Looking at the pink mixture before her and the abundance they had created, she smiled. ’So much! I could make Rainbow love me forever!’ But like always, Applebloom had to ruin everything she would like.
“Why don’t we each get some of it? I know ya want Spike Sweetiebelle.” Lifting an outreached hoof at the filly across the table. Smiling she made another one of her cunning remarks, “I know ya’d like to use it on him.”
Thinking over the side effects of the magical elixir, she shoved the bowl forward, “count me out! I don’t want him coming on me for the rest of my life!!!” Remembering the cure to it’s dastardly effect, she didn’t have much to worry about, Twilight wouldn’t let Spike stay over at Rarity’s, so she could easily get the Spike she loved back. Thinking it over, she smiled in admiration, “I’ll take some!”
Joining in on the sharing of the potion, Appleblom began her efforts to fill the bottles for the three fillies to enjoy their own way, ”Scootaloo, you’re already good enough without this. I don’t think you’ll be needing one.” Sneaking her’s and Scootaloo’s into her saddle bag, she was interrupted by an outstretched hoof. “Fine. Won’t work for you! you're too good for it.”
Taking her chances with the miracle love elixir, she slipped it into her bag, “well I brought some soda for when we were done. Does anypony want some?” Raising a bottle of orange soda, the others raised their hooves high. Smiling and placing it onto the floor. She opened the bottle, and added something special. For the enjoyment of the other two. “Soda’s served!”
The other two, urged by the taste of something other than water and apple juice, hurried to get a glass for themselves. “Thank you, Scootaloo,” Applebloom called while Sweetiebelle engulfed her soda.
Watching the two drink the soda, she made herself scarce, and waited for the moment of reckoning. “Applebloom…” Getting a hoof pressed against her lips, she blushed.
“I know Sweetiebelle. Thats why I need to do this,” taking her white friends lips in hers, her blushed, and pursued greater things than just her lips. “I’m going to make you the happiest mare in this room.”
Taking her leave, before things could get any worse, she left the lovers alone in the room to fight over who would make the other ‘happiest mare’; Taking their bottles with her. “All according to the plan.” Smiling to herself, and leaving the unwillingly lovers to their room, she thought of her plan’s final steps, ‘step one, get potion. Step two, get Rainbow Dash to go n a date. Step three, taste the Rainbow.’
Crashing before her, the mare of her dreams, Rainbow Dash. “Hey Scootaloo!” Breathing heavily, and panting she went on, “I don’t spend too much time with you… Would you like to,” stopping once more to get a grip on her lungs she finished up her question. “Get lunch? Just the two of us?”
‘She’s playing right into my hoofs!’ Overjoyed at how well the plan had worked out for her, she smiled gave the rainbow mare her answer, “really? Just the Two of us!?” Thrilled her mentor had made the offer, she had to make sure it was just the two of them.
‘Wow, this kid really is something. Too bad i have to use it on her.’ Picking Scootaloo up with her hooves, she smiled, “yes Scootaloo. Just you and me, and who ever else decided to go there besides us.”
Overjoyed and thrilled at the idea, Scootaloo hugged Rainbow Dash’s leg, “Yes! When are we going?” Having no time to get anything set up, the timing would have to be perfect.
Returning Scootaloo’s hug she contemplated on a time, “how does today sound? Right now, infact?”
Excited to finally spend time with Rainbow Dash, she didn’t deny her. Lifting Scootaloo up into her saddle bags side pocket, they shot off. Speeding through the sky, and bursting their way through the unsuspecting clouds, Scootaloo screamed in joy. For the first time ever, she had been with Rainbow Dash, clearing the skies, Even if she couldn’t fly by herself. flying over Ponyville, and even past the center of town, Rainbow Dash flew them to a secluded section of town. A family restaurant. ‘Please don’t tell me she thinks of me as family. Anything but family!’
Pushing the doors open and removing the filly from her bag, they began their frantic search for any familiar faces. “Hi, welcome to Cheerilee’s Garden. How many do we have today?” Lifting up a wing and ducking in all feathers but two, the waitress escorted the pair to a special area in the back. “Is this seating Okay?”
Rainbow looked at Scootaloo, who agreed with the seating, “yes. But can i speak with you?” Getting escorted away from the table Rainbow looked back at Scootaloo, “hey kid. What do you want to drink?”
Thinking it over, she didn’t have any preference, “whatever you're getting.” Smiling happily before sinking back into her seat she smiled and removed a vile of the potion, “as soon as I get the chance, I’ll do it.”
From behind closed doors, and surrounded by the ears of no pony but corn, she asked her friend for assistance, “Okay Iris, i want you to add this to the other pony’s drink. Its nothing bad, but she won't take it, unless forced.” Placing the bottle of her homemade love potion into the wing of her friend, she smiled, “can I trust you not to mess up? It’s important she gets it.”
Nodding her head, she began filling two glasses, pouring the bottles content into the shorter glass. “I’ll have them out in no time.” Curious of what might have happened is she did screw up, she sent Rainbow dash to wash up, not wanting Rainbow to know if she messed up will delivering it.
Witnessing the mare place two cups before her, she smiled, “what did Rainbow Dash say?”
Unable to resist the cute fillies smile, she answered her, “she wanted me to bring the drinks personally. Its cola. Enjoy sweetie!” rustling the hair on scootaloo’s head, she smiled and took her leave.
Check the mare’s return, she opened the bottle of elixir and added it all to Rainbow’s drink raising it to its brim. ‘This is going to be good.’ Turing to see if any one had noticed, a baby watched from across the way, not minding her at all. “Welcome back Rainbow! What happened?”
Having no interest in telling the whole truth, she lied once again. “I was ordering the drinks, and then i had to wash my hoofs. Nothing special.” Looking at her glass of chilled soda, she shoved Scootaloo’s closer. “You want to make this interesting, before she returns?” raising an eyebrow at the filly, she waited for Scootaloo to join in. “Lets have a drinking contest!”
Overjoyed at Rainbow’s obviously perfect suggestion, she ripped the lid off her childs up, and lifted it up with her hooves, “you’re on! Ready?”
“Set.”
“Go!” Both the mare and filly lifted their glasses, Scootaloo had nearly finished first, but Rainbow was the fastest after all. Fastest flyer in Ponyville, and fastest drinker of the two. ‘YES! She drank it!!!’
‘Now i just have to wait for it to take effect.’ Before either of them could take the chance for small talk, they had been captivated by each others looks. Thier positions had taken effect. “Scootaloo… You have something on your face.” pointing at the filly’s adorably cute face, She jumped onto the table and landed a kiss on Scootaloo’s cheek, “It was me.” Smiling happily at the filly, she opened her mouth to say something, but couldn’t form the words.
“whats wrong Rainbow?” Looking at the mare who had laid on her back, and had her head handing over the table, she smiled, “does a chicken have your tongue?” Before Rainbow could say ‘no’, or even fight back, Scootaloo had taken the privilege to be the first pony to ever kiss Rainbow Dash in that manner. Taking the new tongue she had found and allowing her to dig deeper, she took the change to please Rainbow even more than usual. From behind, a waitress watched them in disgust, but didn’t dare intrude.
From behind a pair of tangled tongues, a voice strived to make itself heard. Neither letting up their pursuit of happyness, the voice remained muffled. endless fighting was stopped by a unicorn forcing the two outside, and casting them onto the cold floor of Ponyville. resuming their public display of extreme effecting, they resumed.
Rainbow, tired of the same old stuff, decided to make Scootaloo work for her loving feelings. Sitting upright and holding Scootaloo before her, she kissed Scootaloo once more, allowing the orange filly to partake in the lovingness of Rainbow Dash. “Oh dear! Cover your eyes Angel!” The bunny watched in adoration of the two’s affectionate feelings, stopping when it had gone to far, “We have to help them!”
two hours later
“Are you better now, Scootaloo?” Twilight held a light over her eye, and watched the filly squirm, “I’ll take that as a yes.”
“What happened?” Feeling her tongue drag across her mouth, she wondered she she had done to herself to damage it so badly. “I was with Rainbow Dash, then i just blacked out!” Looking around her, she realized she was in the library, on the floor no less. Besides her being there, Rainbow Dash was asleep on a table.
“Well, we have a video of what happened,” throwing a childs book at Rainbow Dash, she woke up, and joined Scootaloo on the floor before a television. “This is what you guys did. The potion you guys used causes the other pony to forget everything they are doing. Rainbow, Scootaloo.” Giving them steirn looks and starting the video, they watched intrigued of their actions.
three hours later
“Am i going to jail?” Rainbow Dash asked, scared out of her wits and shocked of what she had done to the orange filly’s body.
Scootaloo was just as shocked. “We did all that and we can’t even remember it?” She placed two hooves in front of her, and covered her mouth with a wing, “Is Rainbow Dash going to jail for this?”
Twilight smiled, not having watched the second half of the tape, “no she’s not going to jail. But i’m going to have to confiscate the rest of it. Scootaloo?”
Scared of punishment she sighed and lied to the alicorn, “Applebloom and Sweetiebelle have the rest. they should still be in the CMC club house.” Watching the alicorn vanish and head to the tree house, she smiled, “I have 2 extra bottles. You want one?” Ripping open her wet saddle bag, she held the two bottles out.
Smiling deviously, Rainbow Dash took one, “don’t use it on me. Okay kid?” scootaloo noded, and jumped on her friend, cuddling her sweetly.
“Okay mom.” Remembering what she had done to the other two fillies, she began dragging the cyan mare out of the house, “we have to go! Before Twilight comes back! I gave some to Applebloom and Sweetiebelle.”
Picking-up the filly and smashing her way through the glass window once more, she asked Scootaloo a question, “where’s the orphanage? I’m not your mother but you’re gonna live with me.”
Pointing a hoof down at her living quarters, she hugged rainbow dash’s side, “okay Dashie.”
