Scootaloo's Flight

Gone

I had been waiting in the clubhouse for about 30 minutes now. Where were Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom? They said they would be there so we could go to Twilight Time together. I was excited, because this time would have been the first Twilight Time since she defeated Tirek. I couldn’t wait to go into her new castle! As I walked down the road, I couldn’t help staring at her new castle. It was beautiful from even here! I walked into her castle. “Twilight?” I called out.
“Scootaloo! You’re here!”
“Twilight! Do you know where Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are? I haven’t seen them since school ended.”
“What? I thought they were with you. No, I haven’t seen them.” Twilight said.
I was getting a little worried about Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom now. It had been about an hour now, and I still couldn’t find them. “Twilight? I think I will go to see if they are at Zecora’s.”
“Alright.” I heard Twilight say, but she was obviously preoccupied with something else.
When I finally got to Zecora’s, I found she wasn’t there. So, I let myself in her house and looked for my friends. They still weren’t there! I went back to Twilight’s house, and they weren’t there either. They weren’t at Sugar Cube Corner either. I was searching at Twilight’s castle for the fourth time when Rainbow Dash flew up to me.
“What’s up? Heard you were looking for your Crusader friends. Lemme help you. I got some free time, so come on!”
We flew over the Everfree forest when I saw a colored dot.
“There!” I shouted. Rainbow flew down to the colored blob, now two individual dots, and dropped me down next to them.
“Apple Bloom! Babs! Are you hurt?” I asked. It looked like they had fallen down a cliff. I wanted to ask why Babs was here, but I had to know where Sweetie Belle was.
”Where is Sweetie Belle?”
“She was with us, and then-then this thing grabbed h-her and-and-” Babs said.
“I understand.” I said. She looked like she was about to cry. Truth be told, so was I!
“We were just trying to surprise you with Babs being here. We took a shortcut, and we got lost, then the thing took Sweetie Belle.” Apple Bloom said.
When all of us had cleaned up at Twilight’s castle, Babs told Twilight what the creature looked like.
“Did you say a dragon with a mermaid tail?” Twilight asked. I was terrified by the look on her face. “Y-yeah,” Babs stuttered. “Why?”
“Call the others,” Twilight said to Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow flew off.”What’s the problem, Twilight?” I asked. I got more and more terrified as Twilight told me what the creature was, and what it was doing to Sweetie Belle.
