The orange filly walked back to her dorm room, deep in thought. She was trying to analyze what had just happened between her and Sky Blitz. Why should I have to try to think about this? she thought. Should I just tell him, or should I keep it to my self.
She fought her way into a fitful sleep. Even then, she had nightmares. She remember her nightmare of the Rainbow Factory, and she woke up in a cold sweat. It was then she realized where Rainbow was. She couldn't get any more sleep that night
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it was morning the next day, she hastily got dressed, and hurried downstairs to meet Sky Blitz. She got breakfast, and she went to go talk to Sky Blitz. Not to mention, apoligize for running off the previous night. "Hey, Sky Blitz" She said. Sky Blitz just turned his head and refused to acknowledge her. "Come on, Blitz, what's wrong?" She said, desperatly trying to get him to talk to her, "Look, I'm really sorry for last night. I just want to make it up to you. You're my partner. I shouldn't try to keep secrets from you."
"Will you tell tell me what has been bothering you for the past few days? I'm just worried about you. I really like you, you know that?"
"Fine, I'll tell you what's been bothering me. As for your feelings for me, yes I knew, and I really like you too"
"So what's bothering you? Maybe I could help you."
"This really needs to be kept a secret. Why don't we go to my room?"
"Ok, let's go. We have some time before drills"
They finished their breakfast, and went upstairs.
When we got into the room he asked, "Well, what's been bothering you?!"
"Well, at first I just wanted to ask Rainbow a question. I was wondering if I made her made her annoyed by beating her records from when she was here as a student."
"I'd be worried, too. She is my idol, too"
"Well , she's my sister. Anyways, I just realized, she works at the Raibow Factory. That's where she's been."
"What's the Rainbow Factory?"
Crap, she thought, No one else knows about the Rainbow Factory. I'll just make him promise to not tell anyone.
"Ok, I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone"
"Fine, I won't tell, but why? Is it something bad?
"Yes, it is. The Rainbow Factory is a place where they take pegasi that failed their flight test. They grind them up and turn them into spectra, the stuff they turn into rainbows."
Sky Blitz tried to fly out of the room, but Scoots was faster. She caught him before he reached the door, and pinned him down. "You promised you wouldn't tell!" She exclaimed.
"Why shouldn't I?"
"I wanted to tell when I first heard, too, but I knew I had to be loyal to her, like she is to me."
"Fine I promise I won't tell"
"Good" she said, stepping off him.
"I only promised because I trust Rainbow"
"I don't care why you promised; only that you keep your promise"
"You have a scout's honor"
"What?"
"A scout's honor" He explained, "In the Boy Scout Law, it says a scout Is trustworthy. I must keep my promise"
"Okay, I trust you"
"Good, but before we go out to practice, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"Remember how I said I really like you"
"Yeah, waht about it?"
"I was wondering if, maybe, you'd go out with me"
Scootaloo hesitated. This was the first time she had been asked out. What do I say? She thought
"Of course I would"
"Really?"
"Why not? I've kind of liked you, too, when I first saw you."
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Let's go. Speed Demon will be wondering where we went."
