  Scootaloo could hear the faint hum of machinery as she was awoken. Her head hurt she was bruised and in pain, most importantly scared. "No I have to stay calm, cool, and collected now how do I get out?" said Scootaloo in hushed rapid tones. She looked around and she saw the first of many horrors to come. A headless colt lying on the ground with all the color basically sucked out of him or her she couldn't tell from this angle, but she knew she might join the foal when a knife pierced her flank and she saw the eyes of a psychopath it was her hero Rainbowdash!
"Hey Applebloom what's got you troubled other than the obvious?" asked Sabre.
"I'm just worried Scoots is gone, and now Sweetie I think she lost it." said Applebloom. She glanced around the unusually quiet sweets shop like she was worried about some one sneaking around to get her. Now that's just what I thought she quickly looked back to the table knowing that I was looking at her.
"You okay Applebloom?" I asked. But she only remained quiet. "Well she's gonna be fine Scoots and Sweetie alike." I said hoping to cheer her up. But to no avail.
"Why hello there."  said a blue pegasus that I recognized as.
"RainbowDash." I said to say hello to the captain of the weather team. We met a few months back at the wedding of Shining and Cadence. Why if it wasn't for her and her friends I would be dead now. I know I said I took on twenty changelings by myself well number twenty one kinda got me off guard. I'd be dead if Rainbow Dash hadn't kicked it of me.
"Why hello there mister second in command." She said in a sarcastic tone. "I heard you were looking for Scootaloo, I've come to help out, wouldn't be the element of loyalty if I didn't." she said.
I was glad to hear that more ponies were here to help. "Thank you miss I guess I owe you another favor then?" I said rubbing the back of my head.
"Don't worry about it looking for Scootaloo is enough for my help in Canterlot." She said.
"Thank you." quietly said Applebloom or Applegloom (sorry for the bad pun). But seriously I've never seen her with such little spirit, she worried me.
"I'll look around Cloudsdale for her if you need me give me a shout." said Rainbow Dash as she dashed away.
