Scootaloo woke up the next morning, after yesterday, Scootaloo had decided to talk to her friends, just to apologize for what happened at the party. Scootaloo trotted to the corner of her room, picked up her scooter that was transformed from filly size to mare size by Twilight, she positioned it right in front of her door before going back for her helmet. Scoot hadn't ridden her scooter in what felt like forever, for her, riding it had felt like the closest to flying, the rush, the adrenaline, the tricks that sometimes left herself airborne, it was awesome.
Scootaloo stopped in front of Sweet Apple Acers, she walked toward the barn, looking for Apple Bloom. Scootaloo heard the sound of hooves approaching her, followed by a voice behind her.
" Hey Scootaloo, what're you doing 'round these parts.'' the Pegasus turned around to see Apple Bloom's older sister Applejack standing in front of her with a kind smile. Scootaloo answered the earth pony's question.
'' Hi Applejack, I was just looking for Apple Bloom, have you seen her ?'' AJ raised her hoof before responding.
'' No, I haven't seen my sister in a few days, the little I did see of her, the said something about Pinkie Pie and a party, but that was it'' Applejack finished. Scootaloo had only one more question for the other mare.
'' Have you seen Sweetie Belle?''. The orange earth pony pointed towards town.
'' Sweetie is at the Carousel boutique while Yona and Sandbar go to Yakyakinstan to visit Rarity''. Scootaloo was gone in an instant. She could not wait another second to get there so she zoomed off the farm and into Ponyville.
Scootaloo knocked on the door to the dress shop, when the door opened, a certain yellow Pegasus emerged, she had light pink hair that was tied into a loop, held together by a blue flower clip. Scootaloo had a look of confusion on her face.
'' Fluttershy? what the hay are you doing here?'' The yellow mare let out a small laugh before speaking just above a whisper.
''Sweetie asked me to come over to help out while Yona and Sandbar are out of town, it hasn't been very nice with Rarity living in Yakyakistan either''. Fluttershy lightly ruffled her wings, she then went back inside. After a minute, another pony came out of the shop, this time it was Sweetie Belle, the unicorn gave Scootaloo a small smile, Scootaloo returned the favor.
''Hey, Sweetie, I just wanted to apologize for what happened at Sugarcube Corner the other day, I was upset and wasn't thinking straight, sorry''. Sweetie Belle's smile still remained as she responded.
''Its ok Scoot, we're friends after all, Cutie Mark Crusaders forever'' Sweetie gasped.
'' Sorry Scootaloo, I have to go''. The unicorn ran down the streets of town and out of sight, Scootaloo blinked in confusion, her friend had never acted so peculiar before. The orange Pegasus started to walk home, she was halfway there when she was tackled to the ground by a strong force, Scootaloo was blindfolded by a piece of cloth, she caught a glimpse of the pony who was now trying to pick her up. The other pony had a blue coat, and since she was lifting her, Scoot figured out that the other pony was a Pegasus, with all the clues, Scootaloo's mind immediately went to Rainbow Dash, ''what now, Dash'' Scootaloo whispered.
After what felt like forever, Scootaloo hit the ground with a thud, she tried to stand up but wobbled and fell down. Even though she couldn't see, Scootaloo looked up at where she was dropped from.
''Rainbow Dash!!, I know its you, what are you up to Dash''. To Scootaloo's surprise, Rainbow stayed silent, the other Pegasus put her wing on her younger sister's back, guiding her up a wooden ramp. It was weird for Scootaloo, this place felt all to familiar, she suddenly started to remember laughs, cheers, and meetings in this place. Rainbow stopped, so
did Scootaloo, the orange mare started to hear a soft hum of a song, followed by lyrics.
''we would never have left you to be sad alone, if your going down, we go down together, not alone'' After that verse came another one, this time by a different voice.
''Life can sometimes be unfair, just call out, we will be there''. The two voices sang the last part in unison.
''Because we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, together, forever''. Rainbow Dash finally took the blindfold off of Scootaloo, the first thing she saw was the smiling faces of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle looking at her. Scootaloo looked away, with a voice with a tone of sadness, Scootaloo replied tp her friends smiles.
''If your trying to make me forget what happened in the last few days, it wont work''. Apple Bloom grabbed Scootaoo's shoulders, looked in her purple eyes, and stated.
'' No, Scootaloo, we aren't tryin' to make you forget a thing, we just want to make it better, what we want is our Scootaloo back''. Apple bloom put her hooves back on the wood floor, a look of sadness plastered on her face, in the background, Sweetie also looked sad before stepping beside Apple Bloom, continuing her friend's comment.
''We want our friend back. We want the pony who is just as adventurous as Rainbow Dash herself, the pony who never gives up on something, the pony who used to have the spark that made her our Scootaloo''. Scootaloo felt a small twinge of anger inside her, it started to rapidly grow before she could control it, she broke.
''That Scootaloo had hopeless , worthless, dreams! Dreams that meant nothing. I had accepted that I may never fly, but now I hear it out loud, it feels worse than ever, because now its real!! It sucks, ok, I admit it, it feels worse than anything because now I know what its like to have your dreams crushed! I wanted to fly with Rainbow, for her to see how totally awesome I am. I wanted to be a Pegasus who's friends were proud of her, not worthless''!! Scootaloo sat down, not able to handle how heavy she felt. She started to cry.
Apple Bloom and Sweetie hugged their friend, Apple Bloom released herself from the hug so she could say something for everypony to hear.
''Scoot, listen, I may not understand what your feelin' right now, I never will, but I can tell you that I'm sorry, I always will be, but right now, I need us to work through this, together. Like always, you , me, and Sweetie Belle''. Sweetie also responded to Scootaloo.
''I love you, Scoot, Your an awesome friend, and Rainbow thinks your awesome too, right''? Sweetie looked at Dash, she nodded as she replied.
''Of course your awesome, Scootaloo, I have always thought that. Scootaloo, your special, you have a rare gift, you help ponies learn things about themselves, help them find their destiny, not many ponies can do that, but you can. I've said it before, it just does not matter if you can fly or not, your awesome either way, and I'm proud to call you my sister''. Rainbow wrapped her blue wings around Scootaloo.
Scootaloo smiled, she hugged her friends back as she made out a sentence.
''Thank you, I may not be ok now, or even in a few weeks, but eventually, I- we will be ok. I may still have the wings of a filly, but as long as I have you guys, I know in my heart, that I will always have the wings of a mare''.
