//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Broken wings and broken dreams // by Torroza //------------------------------// Scootaloo just stared at Rainbow in disbelief and shock. She whispered. "She don't recognize...." Tears flowed down her cheeks. Twilight brought her into a tight hug while she nuzzled her mane. "Ssh now, it will be fine." The filly cried into the Twilight's mane while hugging her neck tightly. Twilight gently stroke her mane while whispering. "Ssh, it will be okay Scootaloo, I promise." After a couple of minutes Scootaloo stopped crying and fell silent. She looked up at Twilight with big eyes. "What will happen now?" Twilight nuzzled her and smiled. "Well, i guess you will be living with me and Rainbow for now on." Scootaloo smiled but then looked at Rainbow and her smile faded. Twilight gave her a hug. "Don't you worry Scootaloo. Rainbow will soon be fine. She just needs some time to handle all this." The filly nodded and then looked at her. "Twilight, can we eat lunch? I'm hungry." Twilight chuckled a little and nodded. "Yes Scootaloo, we can eat lunch." Scootaloo jumped and walked over to the door. She looked back and saw that Twilight still sat down. "Are you coming?" She tilted her head a little. Twilight looked up and smiled. "You can go ahead a little. I will be with you in a minute." The filly nods and then walks out of the room. Twilight looks at Rainbow once again. She slowly walks up in front of her and stares her in the eyes. She takes a deep breath. "Rainbow, i know that you can hear me, and i know that you are very sad over your loss of flight." She takes another deep breath. "But right now there is someone who needs you. Someone who needs your loyalty to her. The loyalty only a sister can show." Scootaloo's voice can be heard from the corridor. "Twilight, are you coming?" Twilight turns her attention from Rainbow to the door. "Soon Scootaloo." She turns back towards Rainbow. "Just keep that in mind." She then walks out from the room.
