"Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?"
"Yes. I'm sure."
"Miss Dash, you must realise that once you donate them to Scootaloo, you won't ever get them back unless you have a donor. And even if you do, we can't give it to you right away because you'll be rendered temporarily paralysed for at least a year."
"Yes, I realise!" Rainbow's sudden snap startled the doctor.
"Yes, I know what'll happen to me, but do you know who that is? That's Scootaloo! She's my... My sister." The last two words came out as a whisper and Rainbow turned around hung her head, on the verge of tears. She didn't want the doctor to see her cry. When she finally managed to catch herself, she turned back to the stallion with a stern face.
"Do it."
"Okay, Miss Dash. Come. Follow me to the operating room, and I'll send a nurse to take Scootaloo there."

Scootaloo was sobbing. Her wings. They're broken. If she wasn't going to be able to fly then, she definitely won't fly now. Sitting in the void, there was nothing but pitch darkness all around her. All she could do was sob. Suddenly, she felt movement. It's like as of the whole void starts moving. It felt like a minor earthquake.
"Scootaloo!" The mysterious voice called out to her again, but in a tense tone, almost sounding scared.
"Huh?"
"Come back Scootaloo, come back!"
"W-what? Where? Who are you? Where are you? Where do I go?"
"Come here!" The voice started to sound like it was shouting in fear.
Scootaloo began following towards the voice. It was the only thing to do. If it was a trap, or if she were to die, so be it. She wanted to know what was going on even if it were to kill her. All of a sudden, the movement stopped. It no longer felt like a miniature earthquake. Then she had a strange feeling. Even though she was running towards the voice that she heard, there was a strange feeling that made her feel like she was lying on something, like an out of body feeling.
"Whoa! What the? What's happening?" She was suddenly picked up, and then thrown back down to the ground. There was a beeping noise. Constant beeping. Then she heard another familiar voice.
"Scootaloo..."
"Huh? Rainbow Dash?" The voice was Rainbow's, but she sounded sorrowful.
"Hang in there squirt, you'll be just fine." Those words hit Scootaloo hard, and she began sobbing again. Her sobbing was interrupted, with a sharp cutting pain in her wings. She looked back, and to her shock, her wings were slowly falling off. They were broken, but they were the only things that made her the pony she was, and now they were falling off. After a few moments trying to endure the excruciating pain she had passed out. When she woke up, she looked back and realised she was no longer a pegasus, but an earth pony. Then she heard the mysterious voice again that she heard ever since she came into the void.
"Scootaloo."
"Yes?"
"Come to me, Scootaloo." It was only then, that she realised why the voice was so familiar. The voice was Fluttershy's.
"Fluttershy?"
"Yes. Fly to me, Scootaloo."
"But I can't. I don't have my wings anymore."
"Look!" She felt a tingling feeling on her back. When she looked back, she noticed new wings growing. They were the size of an adult pegasus' wings, however.
"What? Where did these come from?"
"Fly to me Scootaloo." Scootaloo looked back at her wings and flapped them. She began to fly. Determined, she began flying towards Fluttershy's voice.
"Hang on, Fluttershy, I'm coming!" Suddenly, there was a faint light in the direction of Fluttershy's voice. It grew brighter as she flew towards it. Scootaloo put her hoof over her eyes trying to protect them from the blinding light, but still headed towards it. Then everything went white and the beeping sound had stopped.
