Today is now Sunday. The day when Scootaloo is recovered and is ready to leave the hospital. It's been an entire week with Scootaloo in the hospital and the two remaining crusaders still in trouble. Rainbow Dash was still at home looking out the window, hoping for Scootaloo's return. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle on the other hand was at the tree house seeming unusually bored. It was unusual because they knew their friend was coming back today. Sweetie Belle was dragging her entire body on the ground, only using her hind legs, while Apple Bloom was laying on her back, facing the ceiling.
"Uaagh, I'm so bored!" cried Sweetie Belle, as she kept dragging herself around.
"Well, we did do nothing for the past week," include Apple Bloom to the ceiling. Sweetie Belle collided to Apple Bloom's head, making her stand up and trot normally. Sweetie Belle was trotting around in a circle, until she popped up an idea. She raised her hoof and pivot towards Apple Bloom.
"Hey Apple Bloom, remember that C-4 Scootaloo hid under the tree house?"
"Yeah, why?" Apple Bloom replied as she stands back up? Sweetie Belle was rubbing her hooves together, biting her lower lip.
"It's just that I think that ramp should go. I mean, I'm surprised nopony else took it down; just left it there," said Sweetie Belle.
"Yeah...Applejack told us to take it away anyway," Apple Bloom added in. The two fillies, made their way for the door, to finally take down the ramp.

Scootaloo was in the hospital lobby, standing on her scooter ready to go. She raced out of the hospital, pushing the door open, with the speed and support of her wings.
"Okay so I'll get to the tree house and say that I'm going to do the jump again," Scootaloo said to herself, as she went faster on her Scooter.
***
Meanwhile, the cutie mark crusaders were trotting down to the ramp, with Sweetie Belle carrying the explosive on her back.
"Do you think this was all a mistake?" asked the filly Unicorn.
"Yeah, I just wish we didn't waste all that time building something that was only going to get us in trouble," Apple Bloom responded.
"Or get our friend hurt," Sweetie Belle added in. It was all but over, as the two fillies have reached their destination. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom went beside the ramp's tubes, as Sweetie Belle grabbed the C-4 with her hooves.
***
Scootaloo has just entered Ponyville, seeing her two friends at the ramp, in a distance.
"What are those two doing?" Scootaloo squinting her eyes to get a clearer view. She then noticed that they were going to blow up the ramp with the C-4 she found. She gave out in shock, and scooted to her friends as fast as she could.
"Wait how do you even use this thing?" Sweetie Belle said in confusion.
"Do I just stick it he-" Scootaloo dashed beside Sweetie Belle, grabbing the C-4 out of her hooves. Scootaloo did a rough turn, facing her friends, with the C-4 in her hooves. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were shocked to see their friend all of a sudden.
"Scootaloo, you're back!" Sweetie Belle cheered.
"Yes, bnd I'm jumping this again," aggressively said Scootaloo. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle's heart rates suddenly went up, as their faces turned white.
"P-please tell me you're not serious," innocently asked Apple Bloom.
"Nope, I'm being dead serious and first thing I'm going to do is get Ponyville's attention," Scootaloo clenching her teeth.
"How?" The two crusaders with blank faces. Scootaloo with no hesitation threw the explosive in the air, as the explosive exploded on random command. This made the two crusaders jump and scream a little, as Ponyville's population gradually started to meet at the end of the ramp again.
"SCOOTALOO, YOU'RE CRAZY!" Sweetie Belle cried.
"Go tell everypony that I'm going to make it this time," Scootaloo demanded, as she made her way towards the slingshot. The two fillies ran screaming, trying to find help.
***
It had been minutes later, as Rainbow Dash was on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She was waiting for Scootaloo's safe return back from the hospital. However, all of a sudden, a knock on Rainbow Dash's door was heard, making Rainbow Dash lift her head up. She got out of her bed, flying down the stairs and opening the door. The pony behind the door was Twilight, with a somewhat worried look.
"What's wrong, Twi? You look worried," notified Rainbow.
"Scootaloo came back, but she's going to jump again," said Twilight.
"What?!" Rainbow's heart rate going up.
"She's going to jump the ramp again, when she JUST healed up. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle already told the others. Hurry we have no time," Twilight flying towards the distant crowd. Rainbow follows behind her, worrying about her biggest fan.
***
Meanwhile at the ramp, Scootaloo was backing up at the slingshot, as Apple Bloom, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy were in the crowd.
"Please tell me this isn't happening, please tell me this isn't happening," Rarity repeating herself.
"Oh nelly, I think this is going to be the end," Applejack losing her balance.
"I still don't understand how Scootaloo was able to set that C-4 off," said Sweetie Belle. Soon after, Twilight and Rainbow Dash flew towards the rest of the mane six and crusaders.
"Is Scootaloo actually going to jump again?" asked Rainbow Dash in worry.
"Yeah, we tried to go back up to the ramp, but crowd was blocking the way. Even Fluttershy is to scared to fly up right now," Sweetie Belle pointing at Fluttershy, who was curled up shivering. Rainbow Dash flew right to Scootaloo, leaving Twilight in the crowd. When Rainbow Dash got to her, she looked at her with worry.
"Scootaloo, are you sure you want to do this. You're my biggest fan and you care for me a lot...and...I care for you too," Rainbow Dash begged. Scootaloo looked at Rainbow, feeling pity and anxiety at the same time. She was getting mixed feelings that if she doesn't launch, she would be a failure, but if she does launch she might lose Rainbow Dash's trust. She didn't know what to pick and only had to choose one. It took her time to think, until she finally made her decision.
"No Rainbow, I'm doing this," Scootaloo admonished. Scootaloo ignored everything, as she stopped putting force onto the slingshot, flinging her across the ramp. Her heart rate was way up, as she sped up with her wings. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes, not using her common sense to save Scootaloo. Even Twilight Sparkle was too busy panicking to use her common sense. The whole crowd was going wild, as Scootaloo was only paying attention to the altitude she was in. She could see the boarded up window, as that was where Scootaloo last crashed. Since she was paying attention, she wasn't as low as before. Her wings began to cramp, as she was pushing it too hard. However, she took deep breathes, relaxing the wings, and making the jump more stable. Now it was the final chance. She was going to hit the tip of Town Hall. She flapped her wings so fast, brining her an extra inches higher. The crowd was screaming, as the mane six were almost going to faint. Scootaloo missed the tip, completely going over Town Hall. Now however, she was falling very swift but as she landed, she landed right on her Scooter. This lead her to complete the jump, as she was able to completely jump over Town Hall. The crowd was dead quite as Scootaloo took off her helmet.
"I DID IT!" yelled Scootaloo, raising her hoof. All of a sudden, the crowd went wild in cheer. Also, instead of the Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders going in panic, they were in amaze. The Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders ran towards Scootaloo, with tons of relief.
"Oh my gosh, did you see how fast you were going?" Pinkie asked with her hyper motive. Rainbow Dash flew and hugged Scootaloo.
"Wow sport, you actually made it this time. I'm so proud of you!" Rainbow Dash said in joy.
"Scootaloo!" scolded Twilight with a frown. Rainbow and Scootaloo turned around, glancing at Twilight.
"I never knew you would actually make it...but you did!" Twilight said in relief.
"Well, I thought that if I didn't do the jump again, I thought everypony would think I'm a failure," Scootaloo explained. Rainbow turned her head to Scootaloo, grabbing her attention.
"What makes you think that failing something would make you a failure? Just because you flunked one thing doesn't mean your life is over. I failed lots of times and that didn't stop be from being the fastest Pegasus in Equestria now did it?" proudly asked Dash.
"Well, I guess," Scootaloo chuckled and blush. Scootaloo quickly turned her head to Twilight.
"And Twilight, I'm so sorry for doing this. I just had to get this all out of my head," Scootaloo apologized. Twilight chuckled, as she was surprisingly not mad at all.
"You don't have to be sorry for anything. You seemed that you had a lot of anxieties going on in your head, and you had to let it out somehow. I am still pretty stressed about you jumping again. However, you actually made and I remember saying long time ago if you did make it 'everypony wouldn't be so stressed out, instead amazed.' However, you actually did make it and it looks like you wouldn't have to be going to the hospital again." Twilight repeated and smiled, as the rest of the mane six were relieved. Scootaloo wasn't done yet, as she had one more thing in her mind.
"Wait, did I earn my cutie mark,?" Scootaloo asked, as Rainbow Dash let go of her. She turned to her flank, to see if it was there. Unfortunately, she was still a blank flank, leading her to a depressing moment.
"It's alright Scooty. One day you'll get your cutie mark and be happy like me!" Pinkie Pie said.
"I guess so..." Scootaloo a little cheered up. She looked up at the sky, ignoring the noise the crowd was still making.
"One day....one day..." Scootaloo said. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went beside Scootaloo.
"Hey want to go back to the tree house for more cutie mark crusading?" asked Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo immediately smiled.
"Sure," replied Scootaloo.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS MEET-UP AT THE TREE HOUSE, YAY! as the crusaders sprinted away and towards the tree house.
