//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The Loud Night // Story: Scary Raining Days // by Fireball //------------------------------// Rainbow had been reading 'Daring Do and the griffon's goblet', because, it had been rainning very baddly for about a week now, with the first crashing thunder and bright lightning of that week. Putting the book down to look at the time, Rainbow realised that it was passed Scoots bedtime. " Scoots time for bed. I'll be up there in a minute." Rainbow said. Scootaloo was not responding so Rainbow Dash went up to see what Scootaloo was doing. As Rainbow was walking upstairs she saw lightning and heared thunder. She heard Scootaloo shriek, it was very loud and sent shivers down Rainbow Dash's spine, so she rushed up to see what happened. "Scoots what's wrong?" Rainbow asked while more thunder and lightning was heard and saw. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Scoots shrieked even louder then the last. "Sis, I'm scared." " I know, it's been freaking me out, we can easaly see the light-..." but Scootaloo cut her off. " Don't say lightning..." a big loud crashing thunder and bright lightning was heared and seen cutting Scootaloo off. " Or thunder. I-it s-scares m-m-me." Scootaloo was really scared but didn't want to tell Rainbow that much. "Scoots tell me what's wrong, trust me I can help just gotta tell me can't do nothin if you don't." said Rainbow trying to not scare Scoots even more. " I-i-i -it's the the th-th-thunder an-and the l-light-tning." right after Scootaloo said those words you saw lightning outside. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Scootaloo shrieked and race under her wonderbolts blanket, it hade all the wonderbolts, Spitfire was the biggest one. "Scoots I'll pretected you from the thunder and lightning but you need too go to bed. I'll stay here till you fall asleep. Okay Scoots." Rainbow said in a very southing voice. "Okay Sis. B-but what if lightning strikes the house, it will go up in flames!" said a very scared Scootaloo. "If lightning strikes the house it will not go up in flames, because there is a antena thing that absorbes the lightning. Don't worry about that, plus if it did strike the house I'd save your butt once again." Rainbow said still trying to southe Scootaloo. Rainbow Dash went down staires to get her 'Daring Do and the griffon's goblet' book to continue until Scootaloo fell asleep. " Sis don't go, please, what if the lightning and thunder come back!" said a very frightened Scotaloo. " Scoots, I'm just going down staires to get my Daring Do book. I'll be back in ten secondes flat!" " Okay sis, but no more then TEN SECONDES FLAT, got it?" Like Rainbow said she came back in ten secondes flat. " Okay Scoots now time for you to fall asleep. I'll be right here until you do." Scootaloo noded and closed her eyes, but as soon as she closed her eyes there was loud thunder and lightnin you could see a mile away. Scootaloo opened her eyes and gave a loud shriek. Rainbow thought 'Every time she shrieks it's louder then the last.' Don't worry Don't cry I shall be there No matter where Your my angel So have a bagel Your my light So keep on shinning bright Rainbow sang that song just like her mother used to sing it to her when she was a little filly and was scared. That song always help her no matter how sad she was. " Sis why did you s-sing that? It's n-nice tho. Can you sing it again?" said Scootaloo still a bit scared. " I sang it because my mom used to sing that to me when i was scared, and it always helped me sometimes less then others but still helped me. I'll sing it till you fall asleep okay Scoots." " I-i'd like that please." said Scootaloo " Finaly! She's asleep." Rainbow said while turning her head to look at the clock seeing it was almost midnight. " Better get to bed. Gotta long day tommoro." As Rainbow Dash was going into her room she saw her wonder bolt picture with Soarin on it, Soarin had also signed it 'To Dashie, keep beliving and being an insperation to us every where.' " One day I'll get you, one day." Nopony knew this but Rainbow was secretly in love with Soarin, but right now he wasn't importent to her right now. Later that night Rainbow Dash got woke up, seeing that it was still rainning as hard as earlier. " Sis, I got woke up by a loud crash of thunder while I was having a nightmare." " It's okay Scootaloo, it was just a nightmare, I'm here now no need to be scared." said Rainbow still a bit asleep. " Why don't you sleep with me tonight." As Scootaloo got cumffy, there was more thunder and lightning. Scootaloo gave a loud shriek. Rainbow put one arm around Scootaloo and the other arm was brushing throu Scootaloo's mane. " Scoots don't be scared im here, I'll protected you." said Rainbow in a reachuring voice. " O-okay b-b-but I'm s-still s-s-scared." Scootaloo said as loud thunder could be heared from Cantelot. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Scootaloo shrieked, it was almost as loud as the thunder itself. Don't worry Don't cry I shall be there No matter where Your my angel Have a bagel Your my light So keep on shinning bright Scootaloo felt a tiny bit better. Scootaloo cuddled into Dash's chest and fell asleep. How ever Rainbow didn't fall asleep that fast, she was thinking of how Scootaloo's mother abandoned her in the everfree forest, left ether to starve to death or be food for the timber wolfs, somepony who was gathering medicin plants near by heared Scootaloo cry because she was hungry and brought Scoots to the ponyville orfenedge. After about ten minutes Rainbow Dash fell asleep.
