Scootaloo's Secret

by Blue Jewel


Chapter 2

Scootaloo couldn't pay any attention in class she was too busy wondering about her dream. "It might be a sign"
"Which gives us the answer?" Cheerilee looked at the distracted filly
"Scootaloo?"
Scootaloo looks up at her teacher "Yes, mam?"
Cheerilee chuckles "Which gives us what?"
Scootaloo scratches her head "Um...45?"
Cheerilee smiles "Correct!"
Scootaloo lets out a big breath That was really close I need to pay attention before I get in trouble.

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo walk home from school together. Sweetie Belle tries to start up a conversation
"Hey scoots my parents are having a barbecue this Saturday wanna bring your folks along too?"
Scootaloo tenses up "Um...I don't think they can make it, my dad has to work and my mom is uh.. really busy."
Sweetie's smile disappears "Oh ok...hey Scoots?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you ok?"
Scootaloo gulps "I-I-I'm fine."
"Really? Because you don't seem fine, you look like you haven't slept very well, you look really tired, I think you need to-"
Scootaloo finally snaps "I SAID I WAS FINE! NOW SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!
A few ponies quickly turn around at the sudden burst. Scootaloo yells at Sweetie who is clearly tearing up wondering what just happened. She then realizes what she just did
"I'm so sorry Sweetie Belle." she whispers and runs home.
She didn't mean to yell at Sweetie Belle she just has been feeling well lately. She's sorry she took it out on the purple and pink haired little filly. What is wrong with me? Now I'm yelling at my friends? I need to talk to someone.

Scootaloo heads towards Rainbow Dash's home, hoping she can at least talk to her, unfortunately she wasn't home. Oh thats right its her naptime. She's probably on a cloud somewhere in the sky. Oh well I guess I'll check on her later.

Scootaloo heads home, exhausted from not sleeping well. She goes to her room and passes out.
