//------------------------------// // Chapter Three: The Test // Story: Scootaloo meets the Rainbow Factory // by moench123 //------------------------------// It’s been a few months since Rainbow and Scootaloo started working together. About 3 times a week scootaloo would ask to join. Now, Rainbow Dash finally said ok. The test was in a few days. They signed her up and reviewed the sequence for flying, the questions on the written test, everything. They practiced everything one last time. Then, the day came. The test was today. They flew to clousdale and walked in and identified who they were, what test they were doing and then they were in. Rainbow Dash took a seat. A filly that just took the test walks out. “I wouldn’t sit there and wait. It takes all day,” they say as they leave. Rainbow Dash took her test a few years ago. They must have extended the time after she was done. She told the mare over the counter that when Scootaloo comes out, she should go to the clubhouse’s field, and then walked out. - - - It’s the end of the testing time; Scootaloo is going to the clubhouse to meet up with Rainbow Dash. She gets there and opens the door. “So, let me see the card! I wanna see how it came out.” Rainbow looks at Scootaloo excited, but scootaloo didn’t. “I didn’t get one. I was told to go to the factory. What does that mean?” Rainbow’s heart sank, her stomach turned. Her eye twitched and she slightly smiles “it… it means…. You failed. When you fail you go to the Rainbow Factory. You get turned into… rainbows and…. You are going there… to night… I’m working there tonight… as the killer.” Rainbow Dash stands up and leans towards her. “I TAUGHT YOU EVERYTHING I COULD! ALL THE BASICS! HOW… HOW CAN YOU FAIL?!?” Rainbow Dash yells, scaring away the birds around her. “I need to take a walk. Say good bye to everypony, cause it’s the last thing you will ever say” Rainbow Dash walks out of the clubhouse furious. Scootaloo flies to her friends and even her enemies and says her goodbyes and eventually walks to diamond tiara’s house. “Hello? Is Diamond home?” her dad opens the door to a purplish filly. “Oh, if it isn’t one of the blank flank? Why are you dragging yourself to my doorstep?” Scootaloo curses at nothing and flies a few feet up then drops down a little bit to talk. “I failed the flying test, I’m being sent to the Rainbow Factory where I will be cut up then mashed into a rainbow. So I’m just saying my goodbyes and…” she slaps diamond across the face then flies away. She flies until she reaches the Rainbow Factory in clousdale. “Hello, name please?” says a corny Pegasus standing at the gate of the Rainbow Factory. “Scootaloo…” “Ah yes, right this way, follow the path and you will be living in rainbows and sunshine in no time.” He smiles and opens the gate. “Thanks for brightening my spirit… jackass…” she flies over to the door and opens it. Inside is Rainbow Dash playing music as she is cutting open a filly and takes out any good organs. She looks over and turns up the music. She is playing dubstep through her headphones loud enough for scootaloo to understand its Rainbow Nukestep by the living tombstone. She jams out and cuts more, then hits a button and sends the dead body of to a smasher. “NEXT!” yells Rainbow Dash as another Pegasus takes a Pegasus colt up to rainbow dash. She straps him in and whispers something in his ear, kisses his forehead then slices open his stomach. Scootaloo almost throws up from the blood falling out and intestines hanging out. She looks away and tries to open the doors again, locked. She flies up to a window that seemed to over watch the job. She knocks on the window and points to a screen window. The pegasi that is standing there walks over to the window and with a scratchy voice yells “what do you want?” he looks out the window and then at scootaloo. “Hey yeah, would it be possible to get my license from like… working here?” “No” he opens the window and kicks her down back to the platform. She lands with a thump that is heard by Rainbow Dash, blaring music and cutting stomachs. She looks and hurries up with the colt in front of her. She tosses the body in a smasher and yells, “Bring up the pink manned one, she seems she can’t wait any longer. She is special. I need a replacement on my post.” And orange-coated Pegasus walks up and says, “I got her Rainbow, you take this one and I got this post.” They both nod and Rainbow runs down some stairs with Scootaloo tied up on her back. - - - Rainbow Dash walks into a small room not much bigger than a janitor’s closet and sets scootaloo down. She unties her then ties her to a chair. She punches Scootaloo a few times then stops. “I taught you everything you needed, how could you fail?” she kicks scootaloo in the stomach making her throw up on her leg. “You had it all down, I got you to now, you wouldn’t have gotten up here if it weren’t for me, I give you the one thing YOU wanted, and you can’t even do it. I wanted to help you; I wanted YOU to be like my filly. You don’t have any parents and neither do I; you could have had a parent. ME. I didn’t have a choice. After princess celestia took me away from my dad and brought me here, I was living alone. For 15 years we were together, when I left, Celestia left a photo album for him, I was left alone, brought back to this shit hole!” she has a tear in her eye as she punches again and again. She stops then pulls out a knife. “Any last words worthless filly?” Scootaloo in catching her breath and looks up at the the blood covered mare in front of her. “Yes,” she says softly, rainbow looked confused, then remembers what she said on the 3rd night of training. “You said you wanted me as a family member. You even said it a few seconds ago. I will be yours. Your slave, your pet, your daughter I DON’T CARE! If it makes you happy, I will do it.” Rainbow’s eyes filled up in tears. She sits there for a sec then throws the knife into the wall. “I can get you out of here. You need to stay in my bag though” she runs of up the stairs and comes back with a bag, she tosses it over her back and turns around. Scootaloo knaws through the flimsy rope she was tied in and jumps into the bag. Rainbow walks up the stairs and all scootaloo could her was the loud clanging noises made by the crusher. “Hey rainbow, you heading out?” “Yeah, my friend wanted me to go to dinner with him. I guess you can call it a date.” “If you have a colt, name him after me! Hehe” Rainbow then walks out a door and then out the area and taps the bag to signal her to get out. “Ok, we should be clear now. C’mon” they fly down to ponyville again and go to sugar cube corner for something to eat. “We’ll talk over dinner”
