//------------------------------// // The Somewhat True Confession // Story: Scootaloo's Guide to Stalking // by Spilled Ink //------------------------------// "Ok! We roll in 5!" Scootaloo smiled as she forced...I mean cooperated with her friends. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both very EXCITEDLY *cough*grudgingly*cough* pointed the camera at Scootaloo, who had dressed up for the occasion. In fact, she was equipped with a ripped fedora, a dirty trench coat and a fake pipe. "Hello, citizens of Equestria. My name is Detective...um...Rainbow Dash Jr. and I am here to teach you all the clever art of detective-ology." Scootaloo tried to sound mysterious, however she failed miserably. Even she couldn't deny it. Apple Bloom face hoofed while Sweetie Belle went to bang her head on a wall. "MOVING ON! Today, our target is the totally awesome, radical, cool, great, amazing, fabulous, brilliant..." Scootaloo continued to name every single synonym of good, even inventing a few new words for the next 5 minutes. "And fantastic pony ever, Rainbow Dash! Today we will find out all of her secrets!" Scootaloo dashed out of the clubhouse, pulling her slaves...FRIENDS who she had definitely not blackmailed into doing the videos with her behind. Apple Bloom and Sweetie's heads clonked together with the camera as Scootaloo very forcefully dragged them from the clubhouse. The three crusaders continued to race through Ponyville, nearing Rainbow Dash's house, which had just recently been moved near the Rainbow Crystal Friendship Castle. The three arrive just in time to see Rainbow flying off to her nap time tree, a little drowsily with Tank following closely. Scootaloo aimed the camera at the groggy pegasus. "Reporting live from the streets of Ponyville, I see Rainbow drifting off towards her nap time tree! We are now trailing her closely!" Scootaloo strapped several cameras that popped, quite literally, out of nowhere onto herself. Also quickly looping a rope around both Apple Bloom and Sweetie, Scootaloo tied them down in a wagon connected to her scooter. Grabbing the handle bars, Scootaloo zipped towards Rainbow Dash with a VERY HAPPY Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle in tow. The threesome finally arrived at the park, now newly renovating the statues area to add in a statue of Twilight as an alicorn with rainbow power along with the other 5 ponies. Using a telescope that popped out of nowhere, Scootaloo spotted Rainbow Dash joining her friends for their Pet Playdate, before going to take her nap. "Here are the saviors of Equestria! Princess Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and the totally awesome, radical, cool, great, amazing, fabulous, brilliant..." Scootaloo continued to name every single synonym of good AGAIN, even inventing a few new words for the next 5 minutes AGAIN. "RAINBOW DASH!" Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle quickly leapt into a bush. Scootaloo peeked out of the shrub, and pointed yet another camera at Rainbow Dash and her friends. "Pull the volume up! I can't hear what Rainbow Dash is saying!" Scootaloo cried, shoving the sound machine towards a barely conscious Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. "Hey guys! I'm going to take my nap, can you take care of Tank for me? I'll be up in a few hours." Rainbow smiled, handing Tank over to Fluttershy. Almost immediately, Angel hopped onto Tank's back and rode him towards a tree. CLUNK! "Ok!" Fluttershy said, taking Tank from the tree. She seemed to look towards the crusaders for one second, causing them all to duck, letting out a tiny squeal. "Ah can't believe we agreed to do this! Remind me again, why the hay are we filming your creepy video?" Apple Bloom complained, handing the main camera to Scootaloo. "Yeah, and how did we never notice you were this creepy?" Sweetie Belle added, pointing her own camera at Rainbow. "Well, I blackmailed you, and you didn't want me to tell Ponyville about what happened with Diamond Tiara, you know the whole..." Scootaloo was immediately cut off by a blushing Apple Bloom. "No! Don't tell the cameras!" "And Sweetie Belle, you don't want me to tell anypony about your crush on..." Scootaloo added, before Sweetie Belle shoved her hoof into Scootaloo's mouth. "SHUSH!" Sweetie cried. She quickly focused all her attention on filming Rainbow Dash's nap, zooming in on her. "We'll do your dirty work. Just don't tell anypony!" Scootaloo beamed with pride, her irises shrinking by the second, making her look crazy. She let out an unearthly giggle, before straightening herself, and finally looked relatively normal. She quickly put her disguise back on, before standing in front of another camera, not even noticing the freaked out looks on Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle's faces. "Well, here we are! Rainbow Dash is still napping, and even her napping skills are still incredibly awesome! Oh my Celestia! I'm watching Rainbow Dash take a nap! I need to breath!" Scootaloo fangirled, before promptly fainting. "We'll be back after the break!" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom said in sync, stopping the video to quickly pick up Scootaloo and load her up into a wagon. In the Ponyville Hospital, Scootaloo finally recovered, and gave a long sigh. Apparently, her fangirl concussion caused her to go from crazy mode back into relatively normal mode. She rubbed her head, it still stung. "Hey girls, I'm sorry for everything I did while I was out of it." Scootaloo apologized, giving her best friends a hug. "Tomorrow, we won't do this creepy detective show. Tomorrow marks the start of a REAL DETECTIVE SHOW!" And once again, Scootaloo became crazy. Rainbow Dash's eye twitched as Applejack turned off the TV. Twilight and Fluttershy both immediately rushed over to the mentally scarred Rainbow. Even Pinkie was able to sense the mood, her mane deflating to match the attitude of her friends. Rarity had already fainted on her velvet sofa. "That was the worst show ever. We are never watching that again." Rainbow managed to say before she passed out. Twilight grimaced, looking at the shut off TV. She made a mental note to talk very calmly to Scootaloo about invading pony's privacy. In fact, Twilight had a plan B. Luna afterall, did build herself a little house on the moon... "Ah can't believe they'd do somethin' like that! Sure, Scootaloo blackmailed them, but how could sweet little Apple Bloom do that?" Applejack sighed, shoving her hat over her face in embarrassment. Even worse, the video had aired on News Equestria Wide Today, the name given to the show just so it could be abbreviated to NEWT. NEWT was seen by every single pony. And to prove just that, almost instantly Rainbow Dash's mailbox was loaded with billions of "fan" mail. Most consisted of friends laughing, family condolences and even one from Celestia asking what in tarnation was going on with Scootaloo. That wasn't even the worst part. There was an exclusive clip at the end showing Rainbow sleeping with her Soarin doll. So now she wouldn't even be able to go near the Wonderbolts. "This day sucks." Rainbow groaned, flittering towards her bedroom, and quickly locked her shutters down. "I'm going to stay in here until I die." And then she locked every door in the entire house.
