//------------------------------// // Glass And Gold Scootaloo // Story: The Source Of Our Chaos // by Pinkieshyrose //------------------------------// Scootaloo point of view Scootaloo was no stranger to how hope invaded  how everything seemed lost but as soon as she somepony in the distance she thought better of everything being lost even though she thought it was. In  fact for years she slept in either the treehouse or a cardboard box into Rainbow Dash had swept her up became her sister even her parent at times. Her parents situation had gotten worse and worse and sometimes they did not have the money for a house in ponyville or her.. Rainbow Dashes love was blinding. She wanted to find her tuck her into a cuddle. But her hope was lost. Rainbow Dash told her one day she and her friends could one day be  self sufficient and do there own things in life. But everything they did always failed. Just as her wings did. "I am back," Said Sweetie Belle emerging with who looked to be Spike and Angel. The group of Apple bloom and Scootaloo came into a hug. Babs followed last. Apple Bloom cried tears streaming down the hug" I thought you were gone. Not just you all of you." "Somehow, I was sort of safe, they are too." Said Sweetie Belle. "This whatever it is does not seem to uhh affect anything outside of ponys it's just a miracle you all are okay." said Spike. "Oh, Spike you live in the library with Twilight.Do you know what's going on? Twilight normally does." Said Apple bloom when they parted. "No not fully maybe why you are were untouched. I need to make sure before I tell you. I am just kinda too sad to think about all of this I will tell you when I know for sure." Said Spike. "Ehh sappy reunion, You stupid blank flanks why could you sisters come at least they could do something you don't deserve to be safe your just little crybaby fillies and you the baby dragons assistant the pet. Sent me a  real dragon or your  keeper." Said Diamond Tiara "Leave him alone, Diamond hes much more helpful then you". Said Sweetibelle. "I am extremely helpful, my daddy's worth a billion bits. I am worth diamonds your sisters only worth one glass slipper and your worth just a shard of it oh Sweetie Belle my money's the only thing that's going to be able to save you. Said Diamond. Her eyes flashing foolishly with  the only power she did not have. That still gave her comfort and confidence. Apple bloom stepped up .Scootaloo watched.  "Even if that were true. We are the only ones the can safe the town the town your money's worth nothing right now. Anyway I think hes not himself right now..." Diamond Frowned then her eyes looked as if the had lost footing on ice. But she recovered herself. And stared blankly then managed another frown of contempt."Well if that's true what would you do think you now." "What if we touch them," said Scootaloo. "I think that means we become them." Said Apple Bloom. "Its took risky." She finished. "No, I did something Celestia should come and get us if it's just Pony villie touched by this," He said. "Spike I am given up hope on celestia, you said it may not work that it may not reach this time that it was the same as before Its been 2 hours she will probably not come." Said Sweet belle loosing her intensity mid sentence. "I have given up as well Sweetie Belle but it seems to be everyone's best chance.... so we're waiting."Said Spike his normal youthful expression hardened. "Anyone wanna play tic tac toe toe," said Apple Bloom. "This is ridiculous and crazy you think a blank faced person doesn't want money lets go off into the city and touch and give them money they will come around then you will see, money makes the world go around you would understand blank flanks what with your love, and harmony come on Silver spoon we are the only one that understand what makes equestrian go round," Silver Spoon nodded." "I am going to join Apple Bloom in tic tac toe. Said Babs. "Lets go, Silver Spoon" The walked slowly Silverspoon moved as slow as if her feet were frozen and the had scarcely moved. Moments later. Scootaloo wished Diamond had left for good. She was evil and though she spoke as if she knew what she was talking about structuring if well it was mean and foolish. She was a broken doll that clung to you in a pony horror movie shrieking as if she was the victim. However part of her didn't as she knew she would find nothing but the bits of her past wrecked. Her heart wrenched by thing that seemed worse then death. Her soul shattered as she stared at her now possibly soulless father. Her mind in a thousand questions. Falling fast in them instead of figuring out how to bring him back. Helping the hurricane swallow her before it had eating away at her heart feeling as if someone had bit it wondering where another hole came from into she was a mollted mess trapped in the bottom of a mountain. Knowing she had heard too many ghost stories yesterday she kept that to herself. "I can guard here to check for her." Said Scootaloo. "Okay scout said Apple Bloom. Soon it was a camp. Ponies and other animals talking turns sleeping." A little bit of the idyllic and hearty feeling of ponyville had returned. Accept for Diamond and Silver Spoon who had decided to to stay playing in a chalk circle spinning and saying slightly dirty gossip about the cmc the other animals or there sisters. "I heard Rairtys shop tanked he he." said Diamond skipping in the circle. Scootaloo ignored them. Trying to focus on scouting she had heard noise but hoped it was just the zombie villagers stomping. But soon she could not ignore it. "Someone's coming we have to run." said SweetieBelle "Okay, said Apple Bloom so we do not have to panic I came up with a ribbon system we just have to all part in one or two groups and then head to the broken down tree-"  Apple Bloom voice came to halt. A zombie pony was already there it was the train owner. He growled and hummed for food. "Run," screamed Apple Bloom. But just as they began. A golden light weaved next to them. The pony pounced. They turned around. To see a train made of only golden light,  molded by what could only be called magic or radiance. Maybe this what they could call hope. For her and her friends smelling of rain, apples ,mold and soot. Tired and hungry.
