Family of two

”Your place is so cool!” Scootaloo looked around the large house and saw the oil paintings of pegasai on the walls and the medals and trophies on the shelfs. This was like a museum of wonderbolt related items and at the same time a home.
“You can sleep in the guest room.” Soarin started and looked at Scootaloo who was jumping in excitement. “It’s on the second floor, first room to the right. Also once you wake up come down here i'm gonna try to make something eatable for breakfast.”
“Okay…” Scootaloo said and started to walk to the stairs which led to the second floor of the large house. “Are you gonna sleep at all?”
“Later… I’ve got some business calls to make… good night Scootaloo” Soarin smiled to her from the lower end of the stairs.
“Good night.” Scootaloo said and turned to the right at the top of the stairs. Soarin waited until he heard the guest room door shut and then he walked to the telephone. Canterlot was one of the few cities in Equestria that had a land line. Of course it was expensive and most ponies couldn’t afford it but Soarin had the money. He picked up the phone and called the number he called on a daily base.
“Captain Spitfire of the wonderbolts.”
“Hey Spitfire it’s Soarin.” He stated but Spitfire cut him off.
“What the hay Soarin! You were supposed to be at this party with me!” Spitfire said. She was clearly annoyed but Soarin already guessed that.
“I’m sorry Spitfire but I’ve got something else going on right now… and I will not be attending practice tomorrow.” He said in a serious tone.
“What! Why? You can’t skip practice without a reason… What is it Soarin? Is it Rainbow Dash again?” Spitfire asked. She was worried about her best friend and wanted to help Soarin.
“No… She and i… everything is fine between us…” Soarin lied. Their relationship was going through some hard times right now… Both of them loved each other but they just didn’t have any time for each others and the distance between their home towns was brutal. “It’s… just… please Spitfire, can we just drop this subject.”
“It’s about them… isn’t it.” She lowered her voice and calmed down.
“…”
Soarin didn’t want to respond to that.
“Soarin… you never dealt with the things they did to you…” She said in a sisterly tone.
“Shut up and never bring them up again!” Soarin almost shouted to the phone. “I’m sorry… I…”
“It’s okay Soarin… take your time. I’m giving you a week off to deal with your personal problems… just tell me if there is anything that I can do.”
“Actually… There is a couple of things you could do.” Soarin said in a much less depressed tone.
“Okay name it.” Spitfire said cheerfully.
“Firstly tell Dash we need to have a talk at some point during this week… and do you know if doctor symptom is busy tomorrow?” Soarin asked.
“Let me see… he is treating Fleetfoot’s wings in the morning but he is free at 1 pm. Do you need me to do a reservation for you?” Spitfire asked back.
“Please do… oh and put it for Scootaloo.” Soarin said back cheerfully.
“Scoota-who? You know that the wonderbolt medical team is not supposed to be used to treat your secret lover.” Spitfire giggled. “Maybe I should tell Dash about this.”
“Firstly she is not a secret lover and secondly I’m going to talk to Dash about her.”
“Okay… well is that all you want me to do?” Spitfire said and stopped giggling.
“Yeah that’s all. See you around Spitty.”
“Yeah whatever… bye.” She said and hang up. Soarin knew she hated that nickname but it she had already stopped years ago with trying to get Soarin to stop calling her that. After all they had been friends for all their lives and they were like sister and brother.
Soarin set down the phone and walked up to the second floor. He decided to check up on Scootaloo before going to sleep himself. He slowly opened the door to the quest room and saw Scootaloo Sleeping calmly on the bed. She had kicked her blanket out of the bed. Soarin walked next to the bed and picked up the blanked and wrapped it around the sleeping filly. He saw how calmly she was sleeping.
“Everything is gonna be fine tomorrow Scootaloo… I promise you don’t have to go through the things I went through…” Soarin said and walked back to the door. “Sleep well little angel.” he whispered back in to the room and then he closed the door.

Nightmares
By: Princess Luna
“Soarin Skies!” Soarin saw a white unicorn stallion yelling at him. All around him was just darkness and only one else he could see was the stallion. “You pathetic pest!” He said and walked in front of Soarin. He had angry expression on his face and he was furious.
“Father… I.” Soarin said and looked down to the back floor.
“You and your great grandfather are shameful dots in our family three.” He heard a female voice in front of him and looked up. The stallion was gone and a blue unicorn mare had taken his place. “Why couldn’t you just been like us.” She said and collapsed in to dust.
“Mother… I… I never…” Soarin said and looked at the pile of dust… it was moving… it was starting to form into something… to somepony….
“Rainbow Dash?” Soarin said and smiled seeing his marefriend.
“Why did you do it?” She asked angrily.
“What? I don’t understand Dashie?”
“Why did you adopt a pest like her… She can’t even fly! She doesn’t deserve to be your daughter!” And then she collapsed in to dust too…
“What the hay is going on in here!” Soarin yelled into the darkness.
“You!” He heard an angry voice. He looked at the pile of dust that had formed into somepony again.
“Spitfire…I…”
“Soarin! You skipped practice for her! For a pegasus who can’t even fly!” She yelled angrily
“But she…”
“No more Soarin! You are out of my team! For good!” He yelled and collapsed into dust again.
“Can anypony hear me!” Soarin yelled and turned around… nothing…
“Soarin?”
“Scootaloo!” Soarin turned around and saw Scootaloo in front of him. “What is it?”
“You don’t love me…” She said and a sudden blow of wind blew her in to small dusk particles that floated away.
“NO… I…”
“Soarin…” He heard a clear voice form behind him. He turned around and saw her.
“Princess Luna.” Soarin said and bowed down.
“Rise my subject…” She said and looked at him. “Do you know what you saw?”
“N-no… I have no idea.” He said and thought about what he had just seen.
“That is your future if you don’t play your cards right… you will face your parents anger… you will see your love abandon you… you will lose your job… and the one thing you truly cared about…” She explained in a soft tone.
“What do you mean?” Soarin asked while thinking about what he had just heard.
“There will be a time when you have to make choices… choice that will not only effect your life but hers too… So think before you do decisions. Because if you do the wrong decision… well this is what will happen…” She said and all the sudden they were standing behind a window on the other side of the window he could see Scootaloo sitting in a chair while a police officer was talking to her.
“Scootaloo!” Soarin yelled and hit the window with his hoof… nothing.
“This is her dream… you cannot impact the events that will happen in her dream.” Luna said and walked through the wall. Soarin followed and walked in after her. He heard Scootaloo cry and he saw the newspaper on the police officers desk. “Ex-top wonderbolt loses his foal to the social services his wife leaves him then commits a suicide.”
Soarin was in complete shock… he didn’t know what to do… and why this was Scootaloo nightmare… He had no idea what was happening.
“Your choices will be hard but I will guarantee that if you do them right you will have get what you have always wanted.” Princess Luna said and looked at Soarin who was now crying with Scootaloo even though he knew she couldn’t hear or see him in her dream. “You have a bright future ahead of you if you do the right thing even though it might feel wrong…” Luna said and stood up. “But we need to get you back to reality… she need you right now.”
“AAHHH!” Soarin yelled as he woke up sweating and rapidly breathing. He saw the sunlight coming through the window and he heard crying. coming from the guest room…
