Scootaloo flew away from town. It wasn't that she didn't want to face anypony, it's just that... okay, she didn't want to face anypony. Especially when she was crying and mumbling about this all with the occasional curse word.
"Why now? Why so long? And why am I just now remembering?" She muttered as she sulked down the path in the Everfree Forest. She knocked on the door to Zecora's hut. When the Zebra pushed open the door, Scootaloo walked inside and faceplanted into the floor.
"What is the matter, young Scootaloo? You appear to be amidst the gloom."
"They came back. My parents.... Spitfire and Soarin'... they adopted Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash... and they didn't tell me until now..." Scootaloo started to sob again.
"I understand your pain. These changes are worse than chocolate rain. After growing up as an orphan, it is difficult to have family again." The zebra said as she idly poured some sort of drink for herself.
I can't believe she managed to rhyme Orphan and Again...
"Zecora... I can't really face anybody. You and Twilight are the only ponies who would understand."
"Your reactions are more intense than the average pony, but still not as bad as you need to see a psychiatrist" Twilight told Scootaloo as she put a book back on the shelf.
"I don't know if I can go back right now." Scootaloo sighed as she looked at the Zebra who was understanding her pain.
"Your feelings are complex, but your attitude needs to flex. If help is what you seek, than to your family you must speak."

"We should have told her sooner." Fluttershy sighed as she sunk on the sofa. Rainbow Dash was still holding the necklace.
"She wasn't ready. She never was. And never will. Why did I wait for two months after a huge even happened?!"
"Its not your fault, Rainbow." Fluttershy put a hoof around her sister.
"Yes it is. Just like its my fault what happened to Spectra. I my be considered sane, but I'm still to blame for it." Rainbow said, shoving Fluttershy away. "I don't want Scootaloo to get the wrong idea, but still, I'm surprised I was able to legally adopt her after what happened with Spectra. Even though I adopted her, it was only for her. I can't bear losing her to somepony else." Rainbow was in an intense state of weakness.
"Rainbow, you can't dwell on Spectral Speed. You need to worry about Scootaloo..." Fluttershy said.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING, FLUTTERSHY!? WAITING FOR MY PAST TO BE REVERSED!? WISHING NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENED!!??!!"
*awkward silence*
"I may not be fully sane yet. And I may still be haunted by my past, but I still care about Scootaloo. Apparently more than any of you!!" Rainbow said as she walked outside to find her sister.
