"That little bitch!"

Lighten Flame slammed his hooves on his desk. Flames of anger built up in his eyes.

"S-Sir."

Lighten turned around to see a white earth pony. 

"What is it Sweetheart!? Can't you see that I am in a bad mood!"

Sweetheart took a step back. 

"I-I am just here t-to say that the food is ready."

Lighten nodded and walked over to her. Sweetheart closed her eyes tightly, fearing that he was going to hit her.

"Go get Scootaloo and bring her to the dinning room."

Lighten said in a now more calm tone. Sweetheart nodded with still closed eyes. Lighten then walked out of the room heading to the dinning room.

"Oh what did I get myself into?"  

Sweetheart sighed and started to walk to the room where Scootaloo is. 





The door that Scootaloo was in opened. Scootaloo was about to attacked the figure and it gave her sad eyes. Scootaloo looked at the pony with a confuse look. Then the pony closed the door. Scootaloo when back to attacked mode but then light shined through the room. After a few seconds Scootaloo saw that it was a mare earth pony. Her still sad blue eyes still fix on Scootaloo. 

"I-I am so sorry."

The mare said in quiet voice almost similar tone as Fluttershy's. It wasn't long until the mare hugged Scootaloo. Scootaloo struggled against the mare but then she felt the mare crying. 

"Why is she crying? Is she crying for me or is it something else? And why does this feel so familiar?" 

Scootaloo thought to herself. Scootaloo made a warm smile and patted the mare's back for comfort. It wasn't long until the mare stopped crying. Her blue eyes looked at the filly with caring eyes and ran her hoof through the filly's purple mane. Normally Scootaloo doesn't like ponies messing with her mane, but she'll let this one slide. 

"I am so happy you are not hurt."

Scootaloo gave the mare another confused look.

"Why would you say that? Do you work for Lighten Flame for my ponynapped?"

The mare shook her head in responds. 

"Then why are you here?"

The mare gave Scootaloo a sad smile and begins to answer her question.

"I was walking home when I saw Lighten escape from jail. I was going to run and call the cops, but Lighten saw me. He then ran up to me and knocked me out. The next thing I knew I was tied to a chair just like you were-. By the way how did you untied yourself?"

Scootaloo smiled at the mare and she replied.

"You'll be surprised how much you learn by watching adventure movies."

The mare rolled her eyes and made a small giggle.

"How long have you been here since Lighten ponynapped you?"

Scootaloo asked to the mare. The mare gave Scootaloo a sad look.

"It's been almost 2 weeks."

Scootaloo's eyes widen.

"And nopony report you missing?"

The mare shrug and said.

"Ponyville isn't my real home town. I am originally from Fillydelphia."

Scootaloo nodded.

"So what is your name? You already know mine."

The mare smiled.

"My name is-"

"SWEETHEART!"

The mare jumped by the sound of her name. Then the door slammed opened, reviling a very angry Lighten Flame. 

"I thought I told you to bring Scootaloo to the dinning room."

"I-I was S-Sir. I-I was just untying Scootaloo from the-"

Slap  

Sweetheart fell to the ground from the impact of Lighten's hoof hitting her face. Sweetheart weakly gotten up from the floor, fighting back the tears in her eyes. 

"You stupid mare. All I said was to bring Scootaloo to the dinning room, NOT to untied her. Can't you follow a simple order."

Lighten Flame sigh and looked at Scootaloo and gave her a warm smile.

"Sorry you had to see that Scoots. She is not the smartest mares in Equestia."

Scootaloo's eyes burned with anger.

"First of all don't call me Scoots.  Second, she is not stupid. She is the most caring pony I met since, you ponynapped me."

Lighten bitten back his anger and smile.

"Then what do you want me to call you?"

Scootaloo glared up at him.

"Just Scootaloo."

Lighten nodded and walked over too Sweetheart and whisper something to her. The face of fear hit Sweetheart's face. She then gave a weak, sad nod and slowly walked through the door. Lighten then turned to Scootaloo and smiled. 

"Now how about we eat dinner, and don't worry I won't tie you to the chair."

Lighten chuckled at his joke, but Scootaloo rolled her eyes and followed Lighten to the dinning room.
