> Daddy > by fluttercord4ever > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Where's Scootaloo? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The morning of Celestia's sun welcomed the kind yellow pegasus for a new day. Fluttershy made a soft yawn as she rubbed her eyes with her hoof. It was a little more then 12 hours when she told Scootaloo that she is her mother. Fluttershy smiled at the memory, yet she could help but feel sad. Here she was after 7 long years of being Scootaloo's friend and foul sitter, and only now told Scootaloo that she was her mother. "If that would have happened to me.I would have cried and run away. I wouldn't have the guts to look at the pony's face again." Fluttershy go up from her bed and stretched out her hooves. Fluttershy was about to leave her room do feed her animals when something caught her eye. It was a picture of her friends and the CMC. They were all gather around it was Applejack with Apple bloom on her back, Pinkie Pie(Who had cake all over her face), Rarity with Sweetie belle on her back, Twilight with Spike next to her with his paper and quill, Rainbow was flying just above Twilight, and Fluttershy was in the center with Scootaloo on her back hugging her.All of them are stuck in time with smiling, laughing facing. Fluttershy smiled at the memory, it was Scootaloo's 5th birthday. This was when she bought Scootaloo's scooter that she rides on now. Scootaloo was so happy that she started to ride around the bakery, but she went to fast and her scooter lost control and hit the table that had the cake on it, sending the cake flying in the air. With Pinkie pie screaming 'NOT THE CAKE!" as she dived to save the cake only to have it fall into her face. Fluttershy was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard tapping of a hoof paw when she saw Angel Bunny at the door way of Fluttershy's room.He was holding a pocket watch in his paw, telling her it's time to feed the animals and himself. "Oh sorry Angel, I'll be right there to you and the other animals in a second." Angel made a 'Yeah what ever, just hurry up' face before hopping out of the door way. Fluttershy looked at the picture one last time before leaving the room. It was early evening when Fluttershy finish feeding and taking care on the animals. Fluttershy sat on her green couch with a warm sigh of comfort. She then took out one of her books. She was half way finish when she heard a knock that her door. Fluttershy put her book on the table next to the couch and walked to the door and opened it. To her surprise only see 2 of the 3 little fillies, Apple bloom and Sweetie belle, but where is Scootaloo? "Hey Fluttershy, have you seen Scootaloo? She never came to the tree house yesterday?" Apple bloom said to Fluttershy in a worried voice. "Yeah and she wasn't at school today either." Sweetie belle added with the same worry voice as Apple bloom. Fluttershy's eyes widen with fear. "Scootaloo..." Fluttershy said in her quite voice. "What was that Fluttershy? I didn't heard ya." Apple bloom said. Fluttershy didn't bother answering Apple bloom. With a flap of her wings she dashed where she lasted saw Scootaloo. "Fluttershy! Where are you going!?" Fluttershy heard Sweetie belle cried, but she didn't listen and continued to fly as fast as she can. Fluttershy was half way to the CMC club house decided to look around. She landed next to a tree and with tears, blurring her vision she ran to see if she can find Scootaloo. "Scootaloo? Where are you? Please be ok? Please don't tell me, he-" Fluttershy stopped in her track to see the picture on her and Scootaloo. Above the picture 7 words were carved into the tree. Come and find her My Little Butterfly Fluttershy backed away from the tree in fear. "N-No. L-Lighten no. H-how did y-you find o-out? Better yet how did you g-get out of j-jail? Scootaloo.... SCOOTALOO!" Fluttershy screamed out her daughter's name before passing out from the shock. > Where am I? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scootaloo head was hurting. She went to rub it but she finds out she can't move her hooves. She looked around her, finding herself tied to something. She wasn't sure because the room was too dark "W-What is going on?" Scootaloo said out loud. Not long after a door opened and bright light filled the once dark room. Scootaloo's eyes closed from the brightness. "I am happy to see you are wake Scootaloo." Scootaloo's eyes now used to the like she saw the orange pegasus stallion from before. Scootaloo eyes grew to hatred. "You! Why did you ponynapped me!? What have I done to you!? I just met you and you just say 'Hi. I am your father that you haven't seen in 7 years. Here let me ponynapped and tied you to a chair so we and talk!'" Scootaloo screamed and struggled to get free from ropes that held her to the chair. The stallion only smiled and walked up to the little filly. "Scootaloo, Honey-" "DON'T CALL ME, HONEY!" Scootaloo cut off the stallion's sentence as she still tried to get free. The stallion just smiled bigger and said. "I just what to get to know you, Scootaloo. After all this is the first time we ever met." "Ok. If you wanted to talk, you could have just said 'Hey, I am your father. Let catch up on things.' Not taking me against my will and-" SLAP Before Scootaloo finish she was slapped by the stallion. His eyes were filled with anger, his teeth closed tightly together. He then shocked his head and his face went kind and sorry. "Sorry about that. I don't know what happened there. Now how about some dinner?" The stallion said with the a smile. "Wait! Did you said dinner? How long was I out?" Scootaloo asked the stallion with confusion. The stallion turned around to look at the filly. With a smile, he said. "You been out since yesterday. It's 8 now, so about 24 hours. Now what do you want for dinner?" "I guess Dandelion sandwich, Daisy Pizza, and maybe Apple Pie of dessert. Boy, I didn't realize how hungry I am." The stallion chuckled at how the filly was acting. Scootaloo saw that she said. "Hey. It's not my fault I eaten in 24 hours, Mr....Um I don't know your name." "Why don't you call me your dad?" The stallion said to Scootaloo. "I am not ready to call you 'Dad' yet. So what is your name." The stallion sighed and nods. "My name is Lighten Flame." With that Lighten Flame walked out the door, leaving Scootaloo alone in the room. > Lets go find her. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy! Hey Fluttershy, wake up! Fluttershy eyes opened from a familiar voice. "Scootaloo?" Fluttershy said looking up to see she was on her bed and Rainbow, her other 4 friend, Apple bloom and Sweetie belle were around her bed.They all had a said look on there faces. "Sorry Flutter, but-" Rainbow hold up her hoof to show the picture of her and Scootaloo when she was first born. Then it was like a brick wall hit Fluttershy square in the face. "Scootaloo!" Fluttershy cried and jumped off her bed, ready to bolt out of her home and look for Scootaloo and where Lighten had taken her little filly. Before Fluttershy was about to fly out of there, she saw Applejack holding her by her tail, Twilight and Rarity were holding her wings with their magic and Rainbow was in front of her with her hooves and wings spread out. Fluttershy looked at Rainbow with pleasing eyes to let her go and let her find Scootaloo. Rainbow just shock her head and said. "Flutters, we are not letting you looking for Scootaloo on your own. We all know-" Rainbow cut herself short and looked at Apple bloom and Sweetie belle and counted to speak. "Well almost all of us know that 'He' wants you to find Scootaloo by yourself. Who knows what will happen to you when you find them. 'He' could kill you Flutters! I do NOT want to see you dead Flutters." "BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF HE IS TORTURING HER, OR EVEN KILLING HER RIGHT NOW!" Fluttershy screamed at Rainbow with hatred in her eyes as she struggles to break free from her friends grip. Then there was a loud SLAP. Fluttershy looked up at Rainbow with tearing in her eyes and her cheek red from the impact when Rainbow slapped her. "Look Fluttershy, If we all know 'Him'. He'll wait until you come and he'll kill her in front of you. Leaving you in a weak place and he'll kill you then and there." Rainbow said with tearing falling from her eyes. "I knew 'He' was nothing but trouble, ever since I lead eyes on his stupid pegasus face." Rainbow Dash said in anger hitting the floor with her hoof. "Um...Rainbow, Fluttershy what are you talking about? Do you know when Scootaloo is and who is 'He'?" All 6 ponies looked at the 2 little fillies. Fluttershy sigh and looked at Rainbow to let her go. Rainbow saw what Fluttershy was thinking and nodded at their friend to let go of Fluttershy. They looked at each other once and let go of Fluttershy. Fluttershy then walked up to Apple bloom and Sweetie belle. "Girls, before I tell you. You have to swear not to anypony. At least of now." Apple bloom and Sweetie belle nodded once and continue to listen to Fluttershy. Fluttershy nodded back and said. "I am Scootaloo's mother." The girls gasped in surprised when they heard. "Y-You are Scootaloo's mother?" Apple bloom and Sweetie belle said at the same time. "Yes. I am, that is why Scootaloo has weak flying. If she just find something that make her happy and calm, she'll be able to fly. As for who 'He' is, his name is Lighten Flame and he was my husband." "What happened to him?" Sweetie belle asking Fluttershy. Fluttershy didn't realized but tears were falling from her eyes. It was that Rainbow stepped in. "Lighten used to abused Fluttershy. Scootaloo is his filly and Scootaloo look just like him, but she has Fluttershy heart. I was worried for Fluttershy safety and back then when she was pregnant with Scootaloo. So on the day where Fluttershy and Lighten were having a baby shower, I went to the police and got Lighten arrested. Before he was put in jail he thought that it was Fluttershy was the one that told the police and threatened Fluttershy, that he was going to murder Scootaloo and then who knows what he'll do to Fluttershy. Which reminds me how did Lighten get out of jail?" Rainbow said looking all of her friends. Then Twilight went up to Rainbow and said. "Lets go to the police and see what they know." All the ponies nodded and ran out to the room. The cops were having their evening donuts, when 6 mare and 2 fillies came running in the room. They remembered the rainbow mane mare that reported an orange pegasus stallion for abuse of a young mare, almost 8 years ago. "Hello, Miss Rainbow Dash. What brings you here?" Rainbow Dash slammed her hooves against the desk. With a angry tone she said to the cops. "I'll give you 2 gentlecolts time to explain yourselves. Why in Celestia's name did you let Lighten Flame out of jail?!" The stallions jumped out of their sits at the tone of the rainbow mare tone. They were actually confuse with the mare's question. "What are you talking about Miss Rainbow Dash? Lighten Flame is still in jail. If you don't believe us we'll show you." It was Rainbow's turn to look confuse. She backed away from the deck and looked at Fluttershy, who only nodded in returned. Then the mares and fillies followed the 2 stallions to one of cells. "Hey Mr. Lighten Flame! You got some visitors!" One of the cops yelled into the dark cell. It wasn't long until a voice came out of the darkness. "Who is it?" Fluttershy made a small shriek, when hearing her ex husband's voice. In which made Lighten laughed, almost similar to an evil laugh. "Oh, look who decided to visit me after putting me behind bars for almost 8 years. Is that right my dear little butterfly!?" Fluttershy was now crying after hearing the little pet name Lighten gave to her when they first started to date. Apple bloom and Sweetie belle when up to Fluttershy and hugged her front hooves, a little shaken themselves. Rarity saw that and stepped up to the bars. Into the darkness of the cell she said. "Hey, there are fillies here. If you please show your manners, like I know you have and show yourself so they wouldn't be scared of of the dark." Then came another laugh from the cell. "Oh Rarity, you have never changed do you. How is your little shop? You know I was kind of attractive to you." The last sentence made Rarity blushed. "H-How dear you treat like a lady like that?! You were married to Fluttershy! You were even having-" "That is enough Rarity.I'll take it though here." Rarity turned around to see Fluttershy. Fluttershy pushed Rarity away from the cell's door and said to the one of the cops. "Opened the door." Everypony stood there with wide eyes. "But Flutter, he'll kil-" Fluttershy turned to Rainbow and gave a warm a smile on her face only to turn serous and said to the cop again. "Open they door. NOW!" Once Fluttershy screamed the last word the cop opened the door. "Thank you." Fluttershy simply said and walked into the darkness of the cell. Nopony could see or hear Fluttershy. Everything was silence until there was a loud CRASH "Fluttershy!" All the ponies screamed into the cell. Rainbow was about to dash in their when a soft voice came though the darkness. "Yes?" With that Fluttershy walked out of the cell untouched. It was silence for a while until Twilight was the one to speak. "Fluttershy how did you-" Fluttershy just throws a microphone and dummy that looks like Lighten to the floor. "I had to admit Lighten, you ready had me going for your trick. It's too bad there was a little bird that took the camera. Right Lighten." Fluttershy smiled and looked up to were a video camera was. Fluttershy then took the dummy and throws it to the camera which cause it to fall and broke once it made contact to the floor. All the ponies wasn't sure what to be more speechless on. The fact that Lighten Flames tricked them or that Fluttershy was not acting like herself. "Are you ok, Sugar cube?" Applejack said to Fluttershy. Fluttershy didn't say anything, there were tearing flowing from her eyes. "Fluttershy? Are you ok?" Fluttershy blinked and looked at everypony in the room one by one ending it with Rainbow Dash. "Lets go find her." "Find who Miss Fluttershy?" One of the stallion said. Fluttershy looked at the stallion and said. "We are going to find Scootaloo." > A new friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "That little bitch!" Lighten Flame slammed his hooves on his desk. Flames of anger built up in his eyes. "S-Sir." Lighten turned around to see a white earth pony. "What is it Sweetheart!? Can't you see that I am in a bad mood!" Sweetheart took a step back. "I-I am just here t-to say that the food is ready." Lighten nodded and walked over to her. Sweetheart closed her eyes tightly, fearing that he was going to hit her. "Go get Scootaloo and bring her to the dinning room." Lighten said in a now more calm tone. Sweetheart nodded with still closed eyes. Lighten then walked out of the room heading to the dinning room. "Oh what did I get myself into?" Sweetheart sighed and started to walk to the room where Scootaloo is. The door that Scootaloo was in opened. Scootaloo was about to attacked the figure and it gave her sad eyes. Scootaloo looked at the pony with a confuse look. Then the pony closed the door. Scootaloo when back to attacked mode but then light shined through the room. After a few seconds Scootaloo saw that it was a mare earth pony. Her still sad blue eyes still fix on Scootaloo. "I-I am so sorry." The mare said in quiet voice almost similar tone as Fluttershy's. It wasn't long until the mare hugged Scootaloo. Scootaloo struggled against the mare but then she felt the mare crying. "Why is she crying? Is she crying for me or is it something else? And why does this feel so familiar?" Scootaloo thought to herself. Scootaloo made a warm smile and patted the mare's back for comfort. It wasn't long until the mare stopped crying. Her blue eyes looked at the filly with caring eyes and ran her hoof through the filly's purple mane. Normally Scootaloo doesn't like ponies messing with her mane, but she'll let this one slide. "I am so happy you are not hurt." Scootaloo gave the mare another confused look. "Why would you say that? Do you work for Lighten Flame for my ponynapped?" The mare shook her head in responds. "Then why are you here?" The mare gave Scootaloo a sad smile and begins to answer her question. "I was walking home when I saw Lighten escape from jail. I was going to run and call the cops, but Lighten saw me. He then ran up to me and knocked me out. The next thing I knew I was tied to a chair just like you were-. By the way how did you untied yourself?" Scootaloo smiled at the mare and she replied. "You'll be surprised how much you learn by watching adventure movies." The mare rolled her eyes and made a small giggle. "How long have you been here since Lighten ponynapped you?" Scootaloo asked to the mare. The mare gave Scootaloo a sad look. "It's been almost 2 weeks." Scootaloo's eyes widen. "And nopony report you missing?" The mare shrug and said. "Ponyville isn't my real home town. I am originally from Fillydelphia." Scootaloo nodded. "So what is your name? You already know mine." The mare smiled. "My name is-" "SWEETHEART!" The mare jumped by the sound of her name. Then the door slammed opened, reviling a very angry Lighten Flame. "I thought I told you to bring Scootaloo to the dinning room." "I-I was S-Sir. I-I was just untying Scootaloo from the-" Slap Sweetheart fell to the ground from the impact of Lighten's hoof hitting her face. Sweetheart weakly gotten up from the floor, fighting back the tears in her eyes. "You stupid mare. All I said was to bring Scootaloo to the dinning room, NOT to untied her. Can't you follow a simple order." Lighten Flame sigh and looked at Scootaloo and gave her a warm smile. "Sorry you had to see that Scoots. She is not the smartest mares in Equestia." Scootaloo's eyes burned with anger. "First of all don't call me Scoots. Second, she is not stupid. She is the most caring pony I met since, you ponynapped me." Lighten bitten back his anger and smile. "Then what do you want me to call you?" Scootaloo glared up at him. "Just Scootaloo." Lighten nodded and walked over too Sweetheart and whisper something to her. The face of fear hit Sweetheart's face. She then gave a weak, sad nod and slowly walked through the door. Lighten then turned to Scootaloo and smiled. "Now how about we eat dinner, and don't worry I won't tie you to the chair." Lighten chuckled at his joke, but Scootaloo rolled her eyes and followed Lighten to the dinning room. > An argument between friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fluttershy, do you even know where Lighten is?" Twilight said with a worries in her voice, as the group of friends walked out of the police office. Fluttershy turned around to Twilight with sadness and anger in her eyes. "No, I don't know where he is. He could be all the way in Manehatten by now. Oh Sweet Celestia, please don't let Scootaloo be hurt." Fluttershy said as tears filled her eyes. She felt somepony put a hoof on her shoulder. "It'll be alright Sugar-cube. We'll find her." Applejack said trying to comfort her friend. "Um I hate to interrupt this, but it's late and Scootaloo is still missing. Hey Twilight, do you still know that finding spell?" Twilight nodded. "Yes, I still do but I need something that belongs to Scootaloo." "Hey, how about Scootaloo's scooter!" Apple bloom said in her cheery voice, followed by Sweetie belle "Yeah, Scootaloo loves her scooter! Why don't we used that!?" Twilight ponder about the offer and nodded. "That should work , but where is Scootaloo's scooter anyway?" That was when Fluttershy spoke up. "I-It's at my home. I-I'll go get it. See you girls at the library." Fluttershy was about to leave when she heard Rainbow said. "Wow. Wow. Wow. You are not don't out their alone Flutters. Let me come with you." Fluttershy turned to Rainbow and replied. "I'll be find Rainbow. All I am doing is going to my cottage." Fluttershy was about to walk away when Rainbow added. "That is by the Everfree forest. Flutters what would happen if Lighten gets you. I already lost Scootaloo and I don't want to loss you." Fluttershy eyes turned anger as fresh new tears came running down her face. "Who cares what happens to me! My filly is going there by a pony that is the devil himself! All I want is to see is to hold my little Scootaloo in my hooves again!" Fluttershy now sobbing, she ran away from her friends. "Fluttershy! Wait!" Rainbow cried out to Fluttershy as she ran after her. Leaving the other with sad looks in their eyes. "Fluttershy! Please, just listen to me!" Rainbow yelled as she tried to catch out to Fluttershy. "Man, Fluttershy can ready run and she puts her mind to it." "NO! Get away from me Rainbow Dash! I...I Ahhhhhh!" Fluttershy screamed in anger as she took off flying. Rainbow quietly flew after her. "Flutters please just let me explain!." Rainbow begged but Fluttershy still refuse to cope. "You made yourself perfectly clear Rainbow Dash!" "Flutter, please I-I just don't-" Fluttershy turn her head to look at Rainbow. "STAY AWAY FROM ME RAIN-!" Fluttershy has cut off from her sentence and she felt pain hit her in the face. Fluttershy's wings gave out, seeing stars as she plummets to the ground below. She thought she saw Rainbow flying down to her when she black out. > Through different eyes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sweetheart was standing by the table with a look of guilt in my eyes. She doesn't want Scootaloo to get hurt, but this is the best thing to do for the both of them. "I hope you like your dinner Scootaloo, Sweetheart made it just for you." As Lighten walked in with Scootaloo behind him with an no emotion face, he gave Sweetheart an angry glare that made her body shiver in fear. She really doesn't want to do what Lighten order her in Scootaloo's room. Flash back Sweetheart's POV As I walked down they hall to the door were Scootaloo is in. I felt sorry for the little filly. Having to be ponynapped by Lighten and taken away from her loved ones. I wonder what are my family and friends are doing? Its been two weeks since Lighten ponynapped me and I told them I would be back from my business trip the day I was ponynapped. Are they looking for me? Do they even care that I was taken by a crazy stallion? Do they even love me? "Sweetheart, it'll be ok. We'll get out of this. Trust me, have you ever doubt me." I heard a voice from next to me. I turned around and saw Heart Blossom . "I trust you Blossom but what about our family and my friends?" I felt my sister put her hoof on my back. "They all are worried about you and asking anypony in our town if they seen you. You know if you told our parents were was your meeting was then you wouldn't be in this mess." I gave her an sad yet angry look. "I hate it when you do this to me. Well it least they are looking for me." I made a small smile. Heart Blossom did they same. "If only they can see me like you do. I would tell them were you are. Is Lighten still hurting you?" "Yeah I wish they saw you too. As for Lighten, he hasn't hurt me today since he ponynapped his daughter." "Wait, Lighten has a daughter! Man who in the right pony mind will do that with him. I mean he is rotten to the core." "He did have a wife, Fluttershy, I believe her name was. For what Lighten said that she was the one that put him in jail on the day when he found out that he was going to be a dad." I let out a sigh and continued talking. "But sometimes I don't know when Lighten is telling the truth or not." Blossom made a sad smile. "It makes me feel back for the mare. Had to be bound by that monster. I wouldn't balm her to call the cops. Just one question, Why would he take his daughter? Why not Fluttershy?" "That is two question Heart Blossom." She stuck her tongue out as I rolled my eyes. "He is using Scootaloo as bait to get to Fluttershy. That is all I know, yet I feel bad for Scootaloo, to be taking away from her friends and mother like that. I know how she feels and I want to protect her from Lighten with all coast." "But Sweetheart, what about you? What if you get hurt or even killed?" Heart Blossom said with sadness in her eyes. I turned to look at her. "At least I'll be able to be with you. I really don't fear death Blossom. I get to be with you and we could finally be twins again." "Sweetheart, we are always sister, we are always twins. I don't want you to died. Not now at least. I want you to live a happy life and get married and have a few fillies. I am sorry that you have to take on both of our lives." I smiled at my sister and hugged her. "You are always there for me when I am down or struggling. I am so happy I have a sister like you." She patted my back with her gentle hoof. "I am happy to have you as my little sis." We stayed there for a while until she pulled away. "Well I am going to see how our parents are doing. I'll be back soon." Blossom said placing a kiss on my forehead before she left. I smile to where Heart Blossom was once standing. "Thank you, Blossom." I opened the door to Scootaloo's room with a sad look in my eyes. "It is one thing to have me tied to a chair, but a filly is just to cruel." I thought to myself. I looked and saw Scootaloo in front of me. Looking at her it doesn't look like she is hurt. I was so glad that I hugged her and ran my hoof down her mane. "I am so happy you are not hurt." Scootaloo gave me an confused look as if she didn't believe that I said that. "Why would you say that? Do you work for Lighten Flame for my ponynapped?" I shook my head no to the filly's questions. "Then why are you here?" I pondered on the question then gave her a sad smile. "I was walking home when I saw Lighten escape from jail. I was going to run and call the cops, but Lighten saw me. He then ran up to me and knocked me out. The next thing I knew I was tied to a chair just like you were-. By the way how did you untied yourself?" I just realize that she tied to the chair. How in the hay would I little filly know how to untie herself? Scootaloo smiled at the me and she replied. "You'll be surprised how much you learn by watching adventure movies." I giggled as I rolled my eyes as I heard Scootaloo asked my another question. "How long have you been here since Lighten ponynapped you?" Soon after I answered her question. "It's been almost 2 weeks." Scootaloo's eyes widen in surprised. "And nopony report you missing?" I shrugged and said. "Ponyville isn't my real home town. I am originally from Fillydelphia." Scootaloo nodded. "So what is your name? You already know mine." I smiled at her. "She really is a nice pony. She most get it from Fluttershy." "My name is-" "SWEETHEART!" I was cut off when I heard Lighten screaming my name. I jumped and turned around when the door slammed opened, reviling a very angry Lighten. "I thought I told you to bring Scootaloo to the dinning room." I was shaking with fear. I didn't want Scootaloo get in trouble with Lighten as to why she untied. "I-I was S-Sir. I-I was just untying Scootaloo from the-" Slap I felt pain on my face when Lighten hit me in the face as I fell to the floor. I got up weakly yet I felt strong. I tried my hardest to keep my tears from falling down my cheeks. His eyes still burned with anger as he said. "You stupid mare. All I said was to bring Scootaloo to the dinning room, NOT to untied her. Can't you follow a simple order." Lighten Flame sigh and looked at Scootaloo and gave her a warm smile. "Please don't hurt her." "Sorry you had to see that Scoots. She is not the smartest mares in Equestia." I saw Scootaloo's eyes burned with anger. "First of all don't call me Scoots. Second, she is not stupid. She is the most caring pony I met since, you ponynapped me." I was so touched when I heard Scootaloo said that I smile. I also saw Lighten trying to bitten back his anger but he manage to smile in the end. "Then what do you want me to call you?" Scootaloo glared up at him. "Just Scootaloo." Lighten nodded and then started to walk over to me. I was so scared on what he was going to say or do to me. He put his lips to my ear she whispers only the two of us could hear. "Go in the kitchen and grab the spice that will make ponies forget their memories. If you disobey me, you are REALLY going to get it." I felt my white coat going even whiter. It never felt so much fear, not for myself but for Scootaloo. I gave him a weak nodded and slowly walked out the door. As I gotten in the kitchen I saw Blossom standing in the kitchen with an angry look on her face. "I can't believe Lighten wants you to do that! Why would he want Scootaloo to lose memories!? " "I think because he wants Scootaloo to stay with him and love him and not Fluttershy. To make her think that Fluttershy is the bad guy." "That does make since Sweetheart, but poor Fluttershy she would be heart broken. To see her daughter with no remember who she is and think she is evil." I looked around the cabinets and saw the spice that Lighten said. Then I saw another spice next to it. That was when I got an idea. I looked over to Blossom and saw tears falling down her cheeks. She know what I was think and she doesn't like it. "Sweetheart, please don't I-I don't want you to- " I cut her off by said. "I am only take a little bit. It'll won't be that effective as to drinking the whole thing." Blossom finally gave in and nodded. "Ok. I'll follow your plan just please be careful." I nodded and grabbed the two spices and put one in my tea and the other in Scootaloo's drink. "Sweetheart just before you do this I want to say that I love you and that you are bravest pony I know." I smiled at Blossom one lasted time then took a sip of my tea. "I love you too, Blossom. I'll see you later." I said as I walked out the door and put Scootaloo's drink were she is going to be sitting. I looked around and said in a quiet tone. "Let the magic begin." Scootaloo saw Lighten looking at Sweetheart as he was about to sit down on his chair. Scootaloo thought she saw Sweetheart nodded but she put it as her mind playing tricks with her. Scootaloo looked at the food and saw orange juice in front of her. She gladly grabbed it with her hooves and drank it all down. Scootaloo looked up and saw Sweetheart next to her. Scootaloo was about to say something and she put her hoof to Scootaloo's lips. "Don't speak with your mouth Scootaloo. Talk with your mind. First off, my name is Heart Blossom. I am Sweetheart's twin sister." Scootaloo's eyes widen and looked over and saw Sweetheart where she was when Lighten and her walked in. "Ok, I guess I got knocked out harder then I thought." Scootaloo thought to herself. "I am afraid not Scootaloo. You are seeing me and hearing me." Scootaloo turn your head to the Sweetheart look alike. "Is everything ok, Scootaloo?" Lighten said in confusion. Scootaloo turned to Lighten. "Yeah I am fine. I just thought I saw a spider. I REALLY don't like spiders." She said in a nervous laugh. Lighten nodded his head and continue to eat his food. "Listen Scootaloo, Lighten order Sweetheart to put a spice in your drink so you can lose your memories." Scootaloo begin to eat her food while listen to the Sweetheart look like talking. "Sweetheart didn't want that to happened to you, so see put the spice in her tea and see put the spice to see the spirits of ponies into yours. So I can tell you what is going on. " Scootaloo nodded to the mare but to Lighten it looks like that she is enjoying the food. "So did Sweetheart lost all her memories?" Scootaloo asked in her head. The mare shook her head. "No don't all. She remembers her name and her job, also knows what happened for the passed 2 weeks, but anything before that she doesn't." "Does Sweetheart remember you, look alike?" The mare gave Scootaloo a sad, angry look. "She remembers seeing me and knows my name but not that I am her sister and don't call me look alike. I told you it's Heart Blossom or Blossom for short. That is what Sweetheart calls me." "Ok, Blossom, what is the plan?" "You need to pretend that you lose your memory. " Scootaloo nodded. "Then what do I do then?" "Lighten is probably going to say your name and that he is your father. So you have to call him 'Daddy' or 'Dad' " Scootaloo almost choked on her food when she heard that. "Scootaloo, take pony bits. I know you are hungry but I don't want you dying on me." Lighten said. Scootaloo slowly nodded and continue to eat while talking to Blossom. "I rather be King Sombra's slave then call Lighten my 'Dad'! " "I know Scootaloo, I hate him too, but it is a price you have to take. I mean look what my sister did. She sacrifice most of her memories for you. Sweetheart is the kindest and bravest pony I know. So please do it for her." Scootaloo sighed and nodded. "Ok, I'll 'lose' my memories tomorrow morning." Blossom smiled and gave Scootaloo a kiss on her forehead. "Celestia bless you, Scootaloo and my sister. I know you two will get out of here safely and Lighten is going to get it for what he had done to you and my sister." > Help is on the way > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Flutter..." Fluttershy heard a voice in the distance. "Fluttersh..." She heard the voice again yet louder. "FLUTTERSHY! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?" Fluttershy eyes opened wide in surprise. She looked around and saw Rainbow next to her with tears in her eyes. "R-Rainbow?" Rainbow wiped the tears out of her eyes before speaking. "Man Flutters, what is with you getting yourself hurt these days? You just crashed into a tree. I mean, I know you are a treehugger but isn't that a little to far." Fluttershy rolled her eyes with both anger yet happy eyes. "You know you always say or do things that makes ponies angry at you, Rainbow. Yet you always end up making them forgive you." Fluttershy said with a smile before pulling her friend into a hug. Rainbow gave Fluttershy a small smile before hugging her friend back. "I'm sorry I said that make there. I shouldn't have brought Scootaloo into the conversation. I just didn't want anything happening to you Flutters. I care about you, I don't want that rotten of a stallion to take you away." Fluttershy looked into Rainbow's eyes. "I know Rainbow but the more time we wait, the more time Scootaloo is with Lighten. I mean who knows what he is doing to her. He could be hurting her or worst." Rainbow closed her eyes tightly trying her best to keep her tears in place but failed. "I know and it's eating me alive. I feel like it's my fault. I was the one that was supposed to look after her when Scootaloo was in town or where ever her and her friends went for there crusading. When I saw Scootaloo was with you, I went home thinking that you were gonna fillysit her. I wished I could have spoken up long before that party, maybe things wouldn't turn out the way things did." Fluttershy wiped the tears from Rainbows eyes and gave her a comforting smile. "It's not your fault Rainbow. If it's anypony fault, it's me. I was the one who made the chose of dating and marrying Lighten. I was so stupid to think he was my special somepony." Fluttershy got up to her hooves and looked out into the night shy above them. "Come on Rainbow. Scootaloo is waiting for us. Lets get that scooter and go back to Twilight and the others." Rainbow nodded as the both of them flew off to Fluttershy's cottage. "There you girls are? We were getting so worried." Twilight said running out of the library with relief expression on her face. "Yeah, sorry Twilight. I just couldn't stop Fluttershy from hugging a tree." Rainbow joked as she looked a Fluttershy. Twilight gave Fluttershy a confusing look. "I'll tell you later Twilight. Now lets get that spell going and find Scootaloo." Twilight nodded and called out to spike and the others to come out and to bring the map. The six ponies walked out carrying the map. "Ok, do you girls have the scooter?'' Fluttershy and Rainbow nodded pushing the scooter foreword to Twilight. Twilight nod in approval as her horn glowed. The magic surrounded the scooter in the purple glow. A beam shot from the scooter and hit the map in a bright flash. Once the light died down there was a arrow there the group of ponies where standing. "The map says that Scooaloo is west from where we are standing. If we follow the arrow it'll leave us to her." Twilight said looking at each of the ponies. Fluttershy stepped foreword to Twilight and said. "Lets go. The more time we wait, the more time Scootaloo is with Lighten." All ponies nodded and they started to running west. "Help is on the way Scootaloo. You and my sister will be saved by tomorrow afternoon. Lighten be prepared for your just dessert." > False Love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Scootaloo! Scootaloo, wake up!" Scootaloo's eyes slowly open as she heard somepony calling her name. She looked up and saw Sweetheart. "What is it Sweet-" Scootaloo was cut off when Sweetheart said. "Scootaloo it's me, Blossom. My sister is in the other room cooking. I have some good news." Scootaloo jumped out of bed, her eyes filled with hope. "Your mother and your friends are on there way. They should be here in a few hours. Could you handle a few hours to pretend to loss your memory? Scootaloo nodded with a grin on her face. Just then she heard a knock on the door. Scootaloo panic, fearing that it was Lighten "Don't worry, it's my sister." The door open and Sweetheart entered with a smile on her face. "Glad to see you are awake, Scootaloo." She looked and saw Blossom and smile sweetly to her. "It's nice to see you again Miss. Heart Blossom. It's been a long time since I saw you." Scootaloo eyes widen. She looked at Blossom to see that she had a sad smile on her face. "Yes, it has been awhile hasn't it. Is everything ok with you and Lighten?" "Oh, my husband and I are doing just fine. He is happy to be a father now that we have a filly. Which I can see that you already met her." Scootaloo and Blossom's eyes widen in surprise, but Blossom force a happy smile. "I see and what a beautiful filly you have. Congratulation to the both of you." Sweetheart smile sweetly to Blossom then looked at Scootaloo. "Scootaloo once you are done cleaning your room, come to the dining room for breakfast." "Ok." Scootaloo said with a small smile. With that Sweetheart walked out of the room and closed the door. It wasn't until the hoofsteps were gone when Scootaloo said. "What did Lighten do to Sweetheart? "I don't know. What ever he did, my sister thinks that Lighten and her are married and you are her filly." Sweetheart's POV. After Scootaloo when to bed, I started to clean the table. "SWEETHEART!" I jumped when I heard Lighten screamed my name in anger. I turned around to see Lighten face close to mine. "Why isn't the spice not working?" Shaking I replied. "It takes awhile for the spice to set in." Lighten clenched his teeth hard in anger. "Don't lie to me, Sweetheart. I know what that spice does and how long it'll take affect, and that is inmeetaly when the spice is in the body!" I was about to speak when Lighten hit me in the face, causing me to fall to the ground. I was about to get up when Lighten got on top of me. Tears were falling down my cheek. "I told you not to disobey me! Now you are going to get a series of beating." I closed my eyes in fear as he lifted his hoof in the air ready to hit me. After a few seconds I didn't feel any impact from his hoof. I slowly open my eyes to see Lighten with a big grin on his face. He then put both of his hooves on both sides of my cheeks and said in a slow yet kind voice. "Hey My Little Sweetheart, how about you be the next pony who tries out the spice, hmm." My eyes widen in fear as Lighten grabbed me by the hooves. I let out a small cry, hoping that Miss. Heart Blossom would hear me. Lighten's eyes looked at me with angry eyes. "I can't have you waking Scootaloo up." Lighten said as he grabbed a cloth tying it around my mouth.More tears fallen from my eyes as I closed them. I whimpered through the cloth as Lighten dragged my body to the kitchen. Once in the kitchen Lighten locked the door. He then through my body across the kitchen floor. Lighten looked at the rows of spices and found the spice he was looking for. He grabbed a glass of water and put the water in to his mouth. He then looked at me and walked over. He untied the cloth from my mouth. I was about to scream when Lighten shoved the spice into my mouth. I gagged on the spice trying to spit it out but Lighten held my mouth with his hoof. Lighten looked into my eyes and gave me a small smile. My eyes widen as he face was getting closer to mine. He took off his hoof and replaced them with his lips. I felt the water in his mouth going down my throat. I struggled against him but he put his hooves around me, deepening the kiss. I felt my mind going blank as my memories were leaving me. There were three things that were still in my mind. The first was the stallion that is kissing me. The second was the face and name of a mare named Heart Blossom. The stallion stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes with a warm smile. "Sweetheart, is everything ok my beautiful wife?" "Sweetheart? Is that my name? The stallion said I was his wife. Does that mean we're married? I guess we are since he kissed me." I looked at the stallion with a confused looked. "Um, who are you?" The stallion small chuckled. "I guess the kiss we share messed up your memory. I am your husband, Lighten Flame. We have a 7 year old filly named Scootaloo and we have been happily married for 8 years." Lighten Flame said with a kind smile. I smiled back at him. "I guess that kiss really did messed up my memory. How could I forget the stallion that I marriage and had a filly with?" We got up to our hooves and walked up to the door which my husband unlock. "Why was to door closed Lighten?" Lighten looked at me and smile. "We don't want Scootaloo to come in and see us kissing do we?" All I did was nod and followed Lighten to our bedroom. Lighten opened the door, in there was a king sides bed in the middle of the room with lamps on both sides of the bed. I was about to walk into the room when Lighten picked me up bridal style. I giggled as Lighten carried me to our bed. He gently put me on the bed and tuck me in. He walked around and laid on the bed pulling the cover over himself. He then turned and put his hoof around me. "Goodnight, My Little Sweetheart." I smiled and pulled myself closer to Lighten. It wasn't long until I fell asleep in his hooves. Scootaloo walked into the dining room to see Sweetheart putting food on the table, humming a small little tune. "Hey there Scootaloo. Did you sleep well?" Scootaloo heard Lighten voice from behind her. 'Here goes nothing." Scootaloo turned around facing Lighten and gave him a big smile. "I slept good, Daddy. I had a dream that we were in an action movie and I could fly!" Lighten looked at Scootaloo for a bit and smiled. "That is a very cool dream Scootaloo. Now lets sit down and have some breakfast." Scootaloo nodded and walked over to the table but not after hearing Lighten talking under his breath. "I guess it takes a little bit longer for a filly then an adult. I guess Sweetheart was telling the truth. All well Scootaloo needs a mother and Sweetheart will be a perfect mother. It's too bad I gave her the spice, I had fun seeing her in pain." Scootaloo sat in a chair next to Lighten. Once Sweetheart sat down in her chair they started to eat their food. "Hey, Scootaloo. Your mother and I were talking and we decided to move to the Crystal Empire tomorrow. You get to be with fillies your own age and your mother and I could get a job there. Well what do you say?" Scootaloo eyes widen and gave Lighten a big smile. "Yeah! That would be so awesome!" Both Lighten and Sweetheart smiled. Sweetheart clapped her hooves together and said. "Then it's settle. You might of well go to your room and pack, while your dad and I clean up." Scootaloo nodded and as see was running to her room she hear Sweetheart talking to Lighten. "I am so happy. Scootaloo gets to have friends and go to school. I was starting to run out of ideas to teach her." Sweetheart said in a cheerful tone. Scootaloo turned around to see Lighten smiling warmly at Sweetheart. He then walked over and kissed Sweetheart on the cheek. Scootaloo gagged and continue to run to her room. Scootaloo opened the door to her room and slammed it shut. She saw Blossom with tears falling down her face. "Blossom? Are you-" Scootaloo was cut off when Blossom screamed. "I HATE THAT STALLION! HE GAVE MY SISTER THAT SPICE AND LOST ALL OF HER MEMORIES! NOW SHE IS BLINDED BY THIS FALSE LOVE THAT LIGHTEN IS GIVING HER! Scootaloo lowered her head thinking about Sweetheart, but lifted her head up as she remember something that Sweetheart said. "Blossom, do you remember what Sweetheart said when she came into my room before?" Blossom wiped her tears and said. "Yeah she said 'Glad to see you are awake, Scootaloo'. Why do you ask?" Scootaloo shook her head. "No after that. She said 'It's nice to see you again Miss. Heart Blossom. It's been a long time since I saw you.' So that means she hasn't forgotten about you. Blossom's eyes widen with happiness. She put her hooves over her heart, happy that Sweetheart still remembers her. "Blossom, did you hear what Lighten said when we were eating?" She shook her head. "No. I left after I heard Lighten was talking under his breath. Did something happened?" "He said that we are going to be moving to the Crystal Empire tomorrow." Blossoms eyes widen with fear. "I'll go see where your mother and her friends are. I just hope they could make it in time." With that Blossom disappears, leaving Scootaloo alone in the room. There was a knock at the door. Scootaloo walked over to the door and opened it to see Sweetheart. "Hey Scootaloo. Would you like some help packing?" Sweetheart said looking at Scootaloo with her kind eyes. Scootaloo smiled and said. "Yeah. I would like that Mommy." Sweetheart smiled and walked into the room picking up toys and putting them in a bag.
