	Perhaps Scootaloo could've lived a different life....

"What?" An older, more mature Scootaloo asked the nothingness.

"If you could live your life again, would you?" the nothingness spoke, confusing Scootaloo.

"Why would I? I've had a great life!" she called out

"What if it could've been different?"

"How?" she asked.

"That boy on the train, he never made it to the academy."

Scootaloo remembered the boy on the train from her youth, a flush of sadness crossed her eyes.

"Why not?"

"He simply wasn't good enough."

"But why would I change?"

"Oh Scootaloo, you wouldn't be that selfish as to ruin everypony else's lives to save yours, would you?" the nothingness said evilly. 

"STOP!" she screamed, but nothing stopped, everything became ten times worse.

"Just tell me you want a different life!" It said.

"But...memories!" Scootaloo cried.

"You won't have them, you'll have a new life, a new reality." 

After minutes of silence, she spoke up,

"I'll do it."

"Excellent!" the voice said as Scootaloo blacked out and instantly forgot everything that had happened since she received her Cutie mark.
