> Scary Raining Days > by Fireball > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: The Loud Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow had been reading 'Daring Do and the griffon's goblet', because, it had been rainning very baddly for about a week now, with the first crashing thunder and bright lightning of that week. Putting the book down to look at the time, Rainbow realised that it was passed Scoots bedtime. " Scoots time for bed. I'll be up there in a minute." Rainbow said. Scootaloo was not responding so Rainbow Dash went up to see what Scootaloo was doing. As Rainbow was walking upstairs she saw lightning and heared thunder. She heard Scootaloo shriek, it was very loud and sent shivers down Rainbow Dash's spine, so she rushed up to see what happened. "Scoots what's wrong?" Rainbow asked while more thunder and lightning was heard and saw. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Scoots shrieked even louder then the last. "Sis, I'm scared." " I know, it's been freaking me out, we can easaly see the light-..." but Scootaloo cut her off. " Don't say lightning..." a big loud crashing thunder and bright lightning was heared and seen cutting Scootaloo off. " Or thunder. I-it s-scares m-m-me." Scootaloo was really scared but didn't want to tell Rainbow that much. "Scoots tell me what's wrong, trust me I can help just gotta tell me can't do nothin if you don't." said Rainbow trying to not scare Scoots even more. " I-i-i -it's the the th-th-thunder an-and the l-light-tning." right after Scootaloo said those words you saw lightning outside. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Scootaloo shrieked and race under her wonderbolts blanket, it hade all the wonderbolts, Spitfire was the biggest one. "Scoots I'll pretected you from the thunder and lightning but you need too go to bed. I'll stay here till you fall asleep. Okay Scoots." Rainbow said in a very southing voice. "Okay Sis. B-but what if lightning strikes the house, it will go up in flames!" said a very scared Scootaloo. "If lightning strikes the house it will not go up in flames, because there is a antena thing that absorbes the lightning. Don't worry about that, plus if it did strike the house I'd save your butt once again." Rainbow said still trying to southe Scootaloo. Rainbow Dash went down staires to get her 'Daring Do and the griffon's goblet' book to continue until Scootaloo fell asleep. " Sis don't go, please, what if the lightning and thunder come back!" said a very frightened Scotaloo. " Scoots, I'm just going down staires to get my Daring Do book. I'll be back in ten secondes flat!" " Okay sis, but no more then TEN SECONDES FLAT, got it?" Like Rainbow said she came back in ten secondes flat. " Okay Scoots now time for you to fall asleep. I'll be right here until you do." Scootaloo noded and closed her eyes, but as soon as she closed her eyes there was loud thunder and lightnin you could see a mile away. Scootaloo opened her eyes and gave a loud shriek. Rainbow thought 'Every time she shrieks it's louder then the last.' Don't worry Don't cry I shall be there No matter where Your my angel So have a bagel Your my light So keep on shinning bright Rainbow sang that song just like her mother used to sing it to her when she was a little filly and was scared. That song always help her no matter how sad she was. " Sis why did you s-sing that? It's n-nice tho. Can you sing it again?" said Scootaloo still a bit scared. " I sang it because my mom used to sing that to me when i was scared, and it always helped me sometimes less then others but still helped me. I'll sing it till you fall asleep okay Scoots." " I-i'd like that please." said Scootaloo " Finaly! She's asleep." Rainbow said while turning her head to look at the clock seeing it was almost midnight. " Better get to bed. Gotta long day tommoro." As Rainbow Dash was going into her room she saw her wonder bolt picture with Soarin on it, Soarin had also signed it 'To Dashie, keep beliving and being an insperation to us every where.' " One day I'll get you, one day." Nopony knew this but Rainbow was secretly in love with Soarin, but right now he wasn't importent to her right now. Later that night Rainbow Dash got woke up, seeing that it was still rainning as hard as earlier. " Sis, I got woke up by a loud crash of thunder while I was having a nightmare." " It's okay Scootaloo, it was just a nightmare, I'm here now no need to be scared." said Rainbow still a bit asleep. " Why don't you sleep with me tonight." As Scootaloo got cumffy, there was more thunder and lightning. Scootaloo gave a loud shriek. Rainbow put one arm around Scootaloo and the other arm was brushing throu Scootaloo's mane. " Scoots don't be scared im here, I'll protected you." said Rainbow in a reachuring voice. " O-okay b-b-but I'm s-still s-s-scared." Scootaloo said as loud thunder could be heared from Cantelot. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Scootaloo shrieked, it was almost as loud as the thunder itself. Don't worry Don't cry I shall be there No matter where Your my angel Have a bagel Your my light So keep on shinning bright Scootaloo felt a tiny bit better. Scootaloo cuddled into Dash's chest and fell asleep. How ever Rainbow didn't fall asleep that fast, she was thinking of how Scootaloo's mother abandoned her in the everfree forest, left ether to starve to death or be food for the timber wolfs, somepony who was gathering medicin plants near by heared Scootaloo cry because she was hungry and brought Scoots to the ponyville orfenedge. After about ten minutes Rainbow Dash fell asleep. > Chapter 2: The Unexpected visit > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Ding-dong* Rainbow dash woke up by the sound of the doorbell. 'Who could that be in this terrible weather' Rainbow thought as there was thunder echoing in her ears. *Ding-dong* the doorbell rang once more. Looking at Scootaloo to see if she was still sleeping. ' Fiouf! She's still sleeping.' Rainbow thought as she was getting out of bed. She rushed out of bed to get the door, not even bothering to brush her mane. Rainbow opened the door to see Pinkie Pie standing outside all wet. " Pinkie what are you doing in the storm, come in." said Rainbow. "HI RAINBOW DASH!!!" greated Pinkie. "HOW YOU DOING?" " Pinkie quiet, Scootaloo is sleeping. You woke me up. Don't wake her up." said Rainbow in a quiet voice to not wake Scootaloo. " OKAY, I mean okay." said Pinkie while she stoped bouncing. " Why are you here? I mean shouldent you be at your house?" said Rainbow conserned and questiondly. " Well Mrs.Cake and Mr.Cake said I could go to my friends. Yesterday, I was at Fluttershy, saturday, I was at Applejack's..." said Pinkie pie but got cut off by Rainbow. " No, I mean why, why did you go to Fluttershy's and Applejack's in the first place?" asked Rainbow. " Weeeeeeell, I was getting lonely and I thought you guys might be getting lonely, so I decided to go see each and every one of you guys. Tomorro I'm going to Rarity's!!!!" said Pinkie in a cherfull as always voice. " Okay, but you do realise it's 6:00 am, right? Rarity won't be happy if you go until like what 10:00 am." Rainbow said. "Weeeell duuuhh. I know Rarity. Anyway, how are you and Scootaloo? I'm fine." said Pinkie. " Well I'm okay, but I'm not so shure about Scoots. I'm concerned about her. With her anxiety problems, the thunder and lightning have been scaring her. Everytime she hears or see's some she shrieks, and every time it gets louder." Rainbow said while thunder was heared and lightning was saw. " Okay, um. If you want I could stay for the hole day, or at least part of it. You know to chere up Scootaloo." said Pinkie looking and feeling depressed. " Go sit down, I'll go get a towel so you can dry yourself off." " Okay." said Pinkie still depressed. When Rainbow Dash came back she had a towel and a brush. " Here's your towel. I hope you don't mind if I brush my hair as well. When I got up I came strait to the door so the doorbell woulden't wake her up." " Of course I don't mind. No wonder your mane is so, so untidy." said Pinkie while drying herself off. When Rainbow was done brushing her mane and Pinkie was done drying herself. Pinkie asked " Do you want to play?" " Um, Okay I gess, but there isn't much we can play in here." said Rainbow concerned. " I know!!! Why don't we play hind and go seek?" said Pinkie. " Okay, but no going in my room it has my name on it. Scootaloo is still sleeping!" said Rainbow in a firm tone. " I'm not sleeping anymore, sis." Surprised Rainbow dash turned around seeing Scootaloo then turning to the clock. It was 8:13 am. "Scoots we were going to play hide and seek, wanna play?" asked Rainbow " Is that a serious question?" asked Scootaloo sarcastically while headding to the bread loafs. Rainbow looked at her puzzled. " Of course I want to play, you silly filly!" said Scootaloo while grabbing a slice of bread and putting peanut butter on it. " Just let me eat my breakfast, Pinkie do you want any?" asked Scootaloo. " No thank you. I already had my breakfast." Scootaloo stuffed her slice of bread in her mouth. " Ohay we con... hay." " I'll count to 20." said pinkie happly. " 1 party, 2 parties, 3 parties..." "Come on Scootaloo let's go. I know where I'm going. " 10 parties, 11 parties..." continued Pinkie "Me too.*snicker* " " 17 parties, 18 parties, 19 parties, 20 parties!! READY OR NOT HERE I COME!!" called out Pinkie. *************** After about 30 minutes of hide and seek, " I'm bored, it's been about an hour of us playing hide and seek." said a bored Scootaloo. " Me too!" said Pinkie "Okay, what should we do now?" asked Rainbow " OOOOOOHHH! I KNOW!!! I KNOW!! Let's sing songs!!!!" said Pinkie " Okay!" said Scootaloo. "I gess." said Rainbow not sounding like she wanted to do it that much. " I'll start. I have the music on my music player." said Pinkie taking out her music player, out of her hair. "I love this song!" said Pinkie while hitting the play button. A familiar song started. Pinkie started to sing it and soon joined by Scootaloo, later Rainbow joined too. ************* ( Enjoy the song. Down below are the lyrics.

But I'm still scared, I don't shriek anymore so that an improvement, I think something bad is going to happen. On the radio it said that tomorro the storm would die down and we could go outside!! Sis said that we would go to buy some food as a big growsserie shopping thing because we're running low on food, and if I was nice she would get me a toy, of my choice. After we did that she arranged with Rarity and Applejack that me Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom could play together at Sweet Appple Acres. To bad that it will be still raining a bit. Anywayz Sis said she had a surprise for me!! Well see you later Snowflake. Love Scootaloo (Any errors here are OKAY. It's Scootaloo writing, I did it on purpose.) > Chapter 3: The Surprise part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Scoots get down here, remember that the faster we get going, the faster you can play with your friends!!!!!" "Okay Rainbow Dash. I'm coming." said Scootaloo coming down the stairs brushing her mane. "Okay squirt. So did you brush your teeth?" asked Rainbow dash. "Ya I didn't." Said Scootaloo sarcastically. "Of course you didn't, now you want oat meal or toast?" said Rainbow Dash. "Oat meal, chop chop my slave!!!!" said Scootaloo. As Rainbow Dash finished making two bowls of oat meal, Scootaloo just finished brushing her mane. Rainbow was just about to bring the two bowls over to the table, Scootaloo swapped the bowl from the counter. "Hey!!! Jerk." said a surprised Rainbow Dash. "What it's mine right, you made it for me right?" said Scootaloo acting as if she was older and smarter. "I gess, But watch that tone missy." said Rainbow Dash while looking down to see her bowl of oat meal was gone. Rainbow looked at Scootaloo who was looking at her with a 'I did it' face. " Scoots where's my oat meal? I know you have it." "Where did you put it? Cause I don't have it." said Scootaloo giggleing. "Okay, I gess if I don't have my oat meal I'll need to make more, and the longer it takes me the longer you have to wait to see your friends." said Rainbow dash trying to make Scootaloo give her her oat meal back. "Um, NO WAIT, your oat meal is right here!!!!" said Scootaloo while taking out the bowl from behinde the clock. Giggleing the two pegasi finished there food. At 9:00 O'clock am they departed of to the store. "Scoots hop on my back we'll fly there." "Okay Rainbow Dash!!!!" said Scootaloo excitedly. Rainbow Dash waited for Scootaloo to buzz her wings, when Scootaloo did that it told Rainbow Dash that Scootaloo was ready to take off. Scootaloo wiggled until she was in a comfortable position and held on to Rainbow's soft mane. Buuuuuuzzzzzzz Scootaloo flapped her wings as fast as she could. In a couple of mere seconds Rainbow was airborn. Flying past Sugarcube Corner they saw Pinkie bouncing around greatting all her friends in ponyville (technically all the ponies in ponyville). "Hi Pinkie." said both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo while waving. Pinkie waved back in delite. About five minutes later they arrived at the grocery market. They stopped at the apple stand to see Big Macintosh instead of Applejack. "Big Mac where's Applejack?" asked Rainbow conserned. "She's getting the place ready for when Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo come over. Talking'bout Scootaloo where is she?" asked Big Mac. Rainbow dash surprised that Big Macintosh actually said a full sentence replied " She's..." Popping out behind Rainbow Dash's back Scootaloo cut Rainbow off " I'm right here silly!!!!" " Eeeeeyup." said Macintosh giggling softly. " Come on Scootaloo let's go we still have to do lots of things befor the playdate you and your friends have. Bye Big Mac." said Rainbow Dash befor she trotted of. *** After are 'fantastic duo' came back from the market it was nerly luch time. "Sis when are you gonna give me my surprise?" asked Scootaloo impatiently. " Well first of all, is that how you ask to get something, seconde of all go wash up you'll be going to your friends soon. I'll give you your surprise after you come back from your friends." said Rainbow in a motherly tone. "Okay, jerk." " Mabey I should return your surprise to the store." said Rainbow. " NO don't, I'm going." said Scootaloo scared that she would. "Okay." Rainbow said. After Scootaloo went upstairs, Rainbow trotted over to some sattle bags filled with stuff. Pushing a few bags over Rainbow reached into one and pulled out an orange and magenta sattle bag. There was a scooter like the one Scootaloo has on it. "Scootaloo also befor you come back down grab the stuff you'll be bringing if you are bringing anything." Rainbow said in a loud enough voice. "Okay." shouted Scootaloo. Rainbow put the sattle bag back in the her bag and grabed the other side loaded with food, she got some carrots and some corn and heated up the stove and put a pot with some water in it. Scootaloo raced down with some tools, Rainbow could identify a wrench, a screwdriver and a hammer. " What's the plan this time Scoots and where did you get those tools?" asked Rainbow surprised voice. " Where getting are machine fixing cutie mark today!!! I got these from your tool box. I forgot to ask you if I could use them." replided Scootaloo sorta scared Rainbow Dash would take the tools away. " You can use them but be very carfull and make sure you have Applejack watching you but no screwdriver or hammer, you could get hurt." said Rainbow with a little anger in her voice. Walking over to the tool pile she took away all the dangerous tools and brought them upstairs in her room. When she got back down stairs Scootaloo was drawing in a corner that Dash set up for her. " Sis can I use your sattle bag to bring the tools?" asked Scootaloo. " No you can't!" said Rainbow firmly. " Why? You always let me use yours when I go to my friends. Plus there are too many tools for me to cary. I had to push them all the way down here." said Scootaloo saddly. " The reason why you can't is because I got you this." said Rainbow pulling the orange and magenta sattle bag out of her very own. " Wow!!! I love it!!! Your really giving me this. No way!!!" said Scootaloo exitedly. " I'll get you one with your cutie mark after you get one." said Rainbow Dash. " Is this my surprise?" asked Scootaloo sounding very happy of what she got but also souding like if this was it she'd be missing something. " This is part 1 of your surprise you'll get part two after you come back from your friends." said Rainbow. Bep bep bep " OH NO!!!! I completly forgot about the stove." said Rainbow worried that there might be a fire. Rushing to the stove Rainbow grabed some four pieces of corns and put them in the pot of bolling water curfully to not burn herself. " I-i-is e-everything all right?" asked Scootaloo. " Everything is fine Scoots I have to whatch our luch." said Rainbow Dash while cutting apple into apple slices. > Chapter 4: The Surprise part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hurry up Scoots your gonna be late!!!" said Rainbow in a impatient tone. "I'm comming, the sattle bag is new to me I'll work it out." said Scootaloo on her way down , sattle bag hagging upside down on her bag and helmet on her head. "Good let's go." Rainbow Dash helped Scoots put her sattle bags on correctly, took an impermable poncho and put it on Scoots then went outside. Scootaloo grabed her scooter and ran outside to catch up with Rainbow. "Taking your scooter today!!" said Rainbow. " No, I'm taking my duck. Of course I'm taking my Scooter silly. " said Scoots sarcasticly. "To bad it's still rainning." Rainbow looked at her and rolled her eyes. Taking off Scoots started riding her scooter, Rainbow flew slower to stay with Scootaloo and also lower. Saying hi to some ponies they finally arrived at the farm. Nocking at the door to be soon greated by Applejack, Scoots walked in and saw Sweetie bell and Apple Bloom drawing something. "Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom!!!!" said Scoots happly rushing towards them. "Scootaloo!!!" said Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom at the sametime. "Cutie Mark Crusaders forever !!!" said them all at once. "So ya gonna be alright AJ? Those three are a hand full." said Dash. " I'll be fine Rainbow, I've handled them before." said Applejack in response. "Kk I'm sorry to ditch ya like this but i really gotta go.Bye." said Rainbow ready to take off. "Bye." said Applejack as Rainbow took off.
