The bang sounded off to Fluttershy, however, and that got her attention. "Scootaloo? Is that you?" "Uh, yeah, it's me. Um, do we have any bandages?" Scootaloo called, her voice a little raspy. Fluttershy turned to look and screamed (quietly) in horror. Blood was all over Scootaloo's face, forcing her to keep one eye closed. She also had bleeding scrapes on her knees and trunk, and her wings were an absolute mess. "What happened!? Who did this to you? Was it a bully? A bear? A TIMBERWOLF!?" "Relax, relax, I just fell off a ramp!" "You were on your scooter?" Fluttershy's eyes weren't quite so wide now. She flew over to the cabinet where the first aid supplies were kept. "Um, yeah, aren't I always?" the younger filly gave a little chuckle, but it died off quickly. Because Fluttershy wasn't in mother bear mode any more. She was in angry mom mode now. "You were on your scooter without your helmet on?" It both was and was not a question. Fluttershy was not smiling. She began applying antiseptic without her usual gentleness. "Um, it fell off?" the orange filly lied. It didn't work. "What have I told you about wearing your helmet?" Fluttershy asked. "Always wear my helmet when I'm on my scooter," the bloodied filly recited. "ALWAYS when you're on your scooter!" the older pegasus scolded. "You could have been concussed, you could have gotten a fracture, you could have been killed! Where do get the idea that this sort of behavior is acceptable!?" Rainbow Dash walked in the door. "Um, hey Flutters, do we, um, have any wing splints?"
