That night Scootaloo tried to fall asleep, but failed. All she kept thinking about was being called a blank flank, nobody, chicken. She believed what they said. She didn't want to talk to Rainbow Dash because she thought she'd be disappointed for being a wimp, and crying. She thought about how she couldn't fly. 

"Why did I have to be handicapped?" she asked herself in a whisper. It was 3:30 a.m. according to her alarm clock.

"Come on Scootaloo. Get some sleep." she closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and eventually fell asleep.

"Where am I? How did I get to school?" she asked herself. She stood up. Behind her a familiar voice greeted her.

"Hey Blank Flank."

"Oh no." she said to herself.

"Scootaloo's a chicken. Scootaloo's a chicken." Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom chanted. She covered her ears, but the chanting only got louder. She was crying.

"Stop! STOP!" Scoots screamed.

"Dumb filly. You're never going to fly. Toughen up and stop crying." she heard a familiar voice say. Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo was now fully sobbing. The 4 fillies and the mare starting beating her up. They punched and kicked her. She was sobbing and screaming. She tried to run, but it was no use. She was bleeding, and she was in pain all over her body.

"Scootaloo! Scootaloo! Wake up!" Dash shouted, looking worried. Scootaloo screamed. She was breathing heavily and fast, and she was all sweaty. She looked around her room, and took a breath of relief.

"Are you okay?" Dash asked looking terrified.

"Yeah. I think so. Why?" Scootaloo said, rubbing the back of her head.

"You were crying and screaming. I woke up. I thought you were being murdered for a minute. Come here." she said. She embraced Scootaloo in a hug.

"It was just a bad dream."

"Ok."

"I'm sorry I woke you up."

"No problem. I get up at 6:00 anyways."

"What time is it?" 

"5:15. Well, since we're up, we might as well eat breakfast and get ready." Rainbow said walking out of Scootaloo's room and into the kitchen to make breakfast.

"Can I stay home from school today."

"Why are you feeling sick?"

"No. I just don't want to go." lied Scootaloo.

"I know. I hated school too. You need to go though. I want you to get a good education."

"Okay." Scootaloo got out of bed and got ready for school. She took a shower, brushed her mane, had waffles for breakfast, and brushed her teeth, then watched the news. Rainbow did the same thing.

"Ready to go?" Rainbow asked at 7:30.

"Yeah." she got on Rainbow's back and got dropped off.

"I know you're my mom now, but can I still call you Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo asked.

"Sure Squirt. I'll pick you up later." Rainbow said smiling.
