**************************

Everypony in Ponyville got ready to give Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash the best party and reunion that they had ever been to. The party would be at the Sweet Apple Acres barn, and they all got to work. 

Derpy Hooves was sent out for destroying the banners that they had made. Two other ponies took her place. Pinkie Pie was blowing up balloons- but without helium.

"Ah, what'cha doin' there Pinkie?" questioned Applejack, who noticed that the pink pony's face was a light shade of red. "Nothing...much...what about...you?" Pinkie took deep breaths in between words. "Uhm, you should prob'ly let somepony else do this, okay?" Applejack said, bringing over a pony. Pinkie slowly nodded. "O...kay.." then she blacked out on the floor, while Applejack dragged her away to rest awhile.

**************************

"The party. It's tomorrow. Oh gosh, I'm so nervous. What if I black out because it's so gorgeous? What if I don't like the type of cake that they make? Oh, Scootaloo, listen to yourself. Pinkie's baking the cakes, they'll be great! Oh..." Scootaloo paced around the living room, thinking and questioning about the party. She decided to lay on the couch for a little bit, then dozing off.

Scootaloo was having a dream. She was in her dress, and at the party. They were having a great time. Until she was talking to Pinkie Pie, and Pinkie's face started melting. Scootaloo got scared. She didn't know what was happening. She ran over to Twilight Sparkle, whose face was also melting. Everyone she looked at had a melting face. Rainbow Dash appeared out of nowhere, and Scootaloo ran up to her. But her face was melting too. 

Scootaloo had woken up screaming. There were bangs on the door, and Twilight was calling to her. "Scootaloo?! Scootaloo?! Are you okay?!" Scootaloo had gotten up, realizing that she was sweating, and she had made an accident. She blushed, quickly going to the bathroom and changing. She ran to the door, opening it.

There was Twilight, in her pajamas. "I heard screaming. Are you alright?" Scootaloo was dazed for a second, then she smiled. "I'm alright. I'm happy that you were worried about me, and came over in the middle of the night." Twlight smiled as well. "Anything for a friend." After they had talked for a few minutes, Twilight left. Scootaloo leaned against the door, shuddering as she thought about her dream. I should've told Twilight, she thought. I should've told. Scootaloo walked over to her bed in a dizzy motion, fell on her bed, and went to sleep.

**************************

"ALRIGHT! Is everyone ready to get this party STARTED?!" screamed a hyper Pinkie Pie, bringing in the cake and cupcakes. 

Everypony was getting into position, waiting for the time when Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle would get to the barn. There was hustling and bustling, ponies here and ponies there, anxious and excited. Applejack looked at a random clock that came out of nowhere. "EVERYPONY! IT'S TIME!" The ponies screamed and got into place, hiding around the barn, giggling and holding in laughs. The barn was quiet and dark.

Scootaloo was in her dress, beautiful as ever, walking to the barn. She tried avoiding dirty things and leftover snow along the way, not to mess up the amazingness of the dress. Little did she know that a surprise guest would be at the barn with her.

**************************

Twilight Sparkle pushed Rainbow Dash's wheelchair to the barn, with a lovely Dash sitting in it, wearing her dress. Twilight was smiling, and Dash kept saying, "What's making you so happy?" Twilight just replied with another smile. 

**************************

Rarity moaned, whispering, "When are they coming? I made those dresses for them, and they don't arrive on time! Are they here?" Fluttershy tried shushing her, which didn't work, so Applejack just shoved her hoof into her mouth, Rarity screaming. When Applejack removed her hoof, Rarity spat out, "What in the world are you doing?! Don't EVER put your dirty hoof into my precious mouth EVER again!" Applejack did it again, and Rarity stopped screaming. She removed her hoof, sighing. 

The barn door had suddenly opened. Everypony gasped, then realized it was Scootaloo. They jumped out, and screamed, "SURPRISE!" Scootaloo yelped, then smiled. Rarity stood for a second, admiring the dress on Scootaloo. "Lovely, darling, lovely." Scootaloo blushed at the comment, and other ponies agreed. Some whistled, some even asked for her number. She blushed again, asking them to stop.

Then, the barn door opened again. Everypony gasped once again, and Scootaloo turned around. Her pupils widened. Her heart pounded quickly in her chest. She sweated. She hyperventilated. Then she fainted.

Rainbow Dash screamed. She climbed out of the wheelchair, limping quickly over to Scootaloo, while Twilight called for help. 

Scootaloo's eyes were still open, just barely. She saw a blue fuzz, shouting, "Scootaloo! Wake up! Please! Wake up!" The noise was sobbing, and she felt something rest on her chest. Then she blacked out. The only sound she heard was sirens. Loud ones.
