//------------------------------// // Entry 4 // Story: The Diary of Ghostly Scootaloo // by ObsidianPony //------------------------------// I saw Applebloom and Sweetie Belle again today. They’re taking on ponies to the cutie mark crusaders, looks like Pipsqueak and Button Mash will be joining before long. It’s kinda hard to watch for me; we spent so long together trying to get our cutie marks, all those wonderful adventures we had and all the fun things we did, and now I’ll never do any of it with them again. I wish I could talk to them and tell them what happened, that way at least they’d know. From what I can gather around town it looks like Rainbow Dash covered up what happened to me, everyone thinks I’m just a stupid filly who went and wandered into the Everfree Forest or fell in a stream or something. Yeah I ended up in a stream alright, just not one of water and it was no accident. And that weird stallion is still hanging around, now he’s bothering Fluttershy and Rarity to try and get answers about me. Is he dense? What are they gonna be able to tell him “sorry mister all I know is the dumb chicken hung around with the crazy mare we thought was our friend”. Oh I wish they could tell him that but of course they can’t, they still don’t know about Rainbow Dash. Speaking of Rainbow Dash, where is she? It looks like she hasn’t even been to her house for ages. Has it really been that long since she started her work or did I not come back right away like I thought? I’ve only been here a few days now but it looks like I’ve been gone a lot longer than that, they had time to make a gravestone for me at least.   I wonder why they would make a gravestone when they had no body to bury? Everyone thinks I disappeared, are they that certain that I’m dead? What’s happened here while I’ve been gone. The whole town feels wrong everypony’s all nervous and scared all the time and nopony laughs as much anymore. I don’t think Twilight and her friends even hang out anymore. Rainbow Dash... what have you done?
