Rainbow Dash walked outside to find a certain orange filly talking to a group of filly's and colt's. Rainbow walked up to Scootaloo. "Hey kid, you almost ready to go?"
"Yeah, I'm ready to go whenever you are." Replied Scootaloo.
"Lets go then." Rainbow Dash responded.
The orange filly hoped up onto the blue pegasus's back, and together they took off into the air. The flight home was rather uneventful, not that either of the ponies minded. They were both content just being in each other company. They landed outside their front door, and walked in to find all the lights turned off.
"Who turned all the lights off?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"How should I know?" Responded Scootaloo.
Just then all the lights turned on to reveal about 50 ponies yelling surprise at them. Scootaloo got such a fright that she jumped backwards into Rainbow Dash. Rainbow was equally stunned but controlled her emotions a lot better then the young filly.
Rainbow later found out that Twilight had taken the liberty of casting a cloud walking spell on each of the ponies so they could get up into Rainbows house.
"Were you surprised? were you, were you, were you?" Pinkie asked speaking faster and faster as she asked the same question over and over.
Rainbow rolled her eyes, but decided to humour her friend. "Yes Pinkie I was very surprised. By the way how did you organise this so quickly?" Rainbow looked around and saw some of the filly's and colt's that where at the school when they left. "Pinkie." Was all that came to Rainbows mind as she looked around at all the ponies that had made an appearance. Pinkie had responded but Rainbow wasn't paying her any attention. Her eyes settled on her friends. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight were all together exchanging small talk. Rainbow caught Applejack's eye, and she nodded back. Soon the mares were coming over towards Rainbow Dash.
"Congratulations, Rainbow." Applejack said first.
"You two will make a lovely pair." Followed Rarity.
"How does it feel, now that it's official?" Asked Twilight.
"Um, congratulations, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy chimed in quietly.
"Thanks guys. It feels great now that it's official." Rainbow smiled at her friends.
"Um, where's Scootaloo now?" Asked Twilight.
Rainbow Dash quickly scanned the room to find that Twilight was right Scootaloo was not there.
"I donno' Twi, she was right next to me a second ago."
Twilight looked a bit worried, but shrugged it off when she saw that Rainbow looked like she was about to start panicking.
"I'm sure she'll be fine. Just went upstairs probably." Answered Applejack when she saw Rainbow's expression.
"How could you know that Applejack. Anything could of happened to her." Rarity said.
"I said that she's fine." Applejack gave Rarity a stern look and pointed at Rainbow Dash. Rarity saw that Rainbow looked like she was about to have a fit. Rarity looked back at Applejack with apologetic eye's.
"Don't apologise to me." Whispered Applejack.
Rarity sighed and walked over to Rainbow so she was standing right in front of her. "I'm sorry for getting carried away there Rainbow, it's just that I would like to know where my sister is at all times so I know she's not in danger.
Rarity heard a sigh behind her and looked to see Applejack and Twilight shacking their heads. Rarity looked back at Rainbow Dash to see she was beginning to breath a lot faster. Rarity took a few steps back and whispered in Applejack ear. "Sorry dear, not my area of expertise. Would you mind taking over?"
Applejack sighed again and went to say something, but realised that Rainbow had vanished. "Where the hay did she go."
The five friends began to search the house for their two missing friends. Fluttershy walked up Rainbow Dash's stairs just in time to see a rainbow blur fly right past her messing up her mane. "Wait Rainbow." Fluttershy whispered. Rainbow Dash didnt even acknowledge Fluttershy remark. She just kept racing around the house frantically searching for her little sister.
"Scootaloo! Scootaloo! Hey kid where are you?!" Rainbow called as she flew around her house.
The other ponies were starting to notice Rainbow Dash now. A few tried to ask her what was wrong, but She didn't answer any of them. Some of the ponies were starting to worry now, and a few started to leave before thing got out of hand.
"Help, help. Somepony help me." Cried a distant voice.
Rainbow Dash stopped what she was doing for a second before bolting out the front door and speeding off towards the cry for help.
"Rainbow wait!" Cried Twilight but it was already to late.
"Come on girls, we need to go get Rainbow back." Twilight said as she too ran out the front door, followed closely by Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy.
Together the five mares set of to find their best friend Rainbow Dash and to find out which pony cried out for help and why. But their first objective was to make sure their friend was ok.
"Anypony see anything." Asked Twilight as they galloped down the main street in ponyville.
"Help, somepony please help me." All the ponies stopped when they heard where the noise was coming from. They all turned towards where the cry had come from.
The Everfree forest.
The ponies all looked at each other before coming to a decision.
"Come on ponies, somepony needs us." Said Applejack before galloping of into the Everfree.
The other ponies all looked at each other one last time before joining their friend.
"Scootaloo. Where's Scootaloo." Was all Rainbow Dash could think. Suddenly she heard a scream coming from the Everfree forest.
"Help, somepony please help me."
"Scootaloo." Thought Rainbow Dash. "That sounded like Scootaloo." And so the element of Loyalty flew into the Everfree without even a single thought of her own safety. Her only thoughts were of Scootaloo.
Rainbow Dash suddenly spotted something concealed in a bush. She flew down to see what it was. Her eyes started swelling up with tears when she saw it was Scootaloo's scooter. The wheels had come off as well as the handle bar and the footplate of the scooter was twisted beyond repair.
"Ahhhhhh!!!" Came a cry further in the Everfree forest.
"Don't worry kid, I'm coming!" Cried a distraught Rainbow Dash.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
"Who was that?" Asked a very scared Fluttershy.
"I think that might if been our missing filly." Replied Applejack.
"Than what are we waiting for?" Asked Twilight as she started the gallop once more towards the sound of the screaming filly followed closely by Applejack and the others.
You know when you've had a really bad day. Yeah well that doesn't even compare to what was happening to Scootaloo now. Scootaloo had lost the one this she held special to her(her scooter). She had been galloping as fast as she could for about 5 minutes now. Her wings were so small she couldn't fly away. She was being chased by a pack of timberwolves. She was tired beyond all hell. She was bleeding from many wounds from where she had tripped or when she had stumbled into a thorn bush. And she could hear her sister coming towards her, but not fast enough.
Scootaloo dived as a timberwolf jumped at her. She managed to dodge the timberwolf, but soon realised that she was surrounded. She looked all around her to find that the timberwolves were slowly circling her. Scootaloo realised that is was futile, she wouldn't get away. She sunk to the ground exhausted, but right then a image of Rainbow Dash popped into her head. "Come on kid, what are you doing? I never taught you to give up. If you want something badly enough, you have to fight for it!" Scootaloo struggles to stand. "Come on, is that all you've got? Stand up! Scootaloo stood and looked straight at the timberwolves. "That's it. Good job. I'm proud of you kid." Scootaloo smiled despite everything.
"Never give up." She told herself.
Then a number of things happened. The timberwolves pounced. Rainbow Dash came out of nowhere and tackled a timberwolf to the ground. Applejack bucked one in the face, making the magic holding it together dissipate. Twilight held two of them back with magic. But what none of them saw was a timberwolf come out of the shadows behind Scootaloo. Rainbow Dash turned around just in time to see the timberwolf sink it's fangs into Scootaloo's hind leg and flank.
"Noooooo. SCOOTALOO!" Rainbow Dash took off so fast that she almost breached the speed of sound in less than a second. She smashed the wolf as hard as she could, sending twigs and sticks flying everywhere. She turned around to see Scootaloo still smiling.
"Your the best sister ever." Was all Scootaloo managed before blacking out and falling to the ground. The last thing she remembered was Rainbow Dash calling out her name.
