Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard. But the rain felt good to Scootaloo as they hid the tears from what she saw earlier. "How could she!?" The filly remembered and shuddered at the thought. "That tramp Spitfire! Just because she's a Wonderbolt, she thinks she can steal a kiss from MY Rainbow Dash!"

Standing upon the branch as the wet wind whipped about her body, Scootaloo shook a forehoof at the sky. "I will win her... HORSE APPLES!" Stumbling on the slippery bark, the filly pegasus suddenly trips and falls down.

The grey unicorn bristled at that name and shook her head. "No, her name is Ditzy Doo, thank you very much. And my name is Dinky Doo."

Scootaloo looked away ashamedly. "I'm sorry, I just hear other ponies call her that..."

It's okay, Scootaloo. I'm just glad you didn't get hurt too badly... You always look so wonderful when you zoom around town!"

Scootaloo smiled back and thought to herself, 'Maybe I don't need Rainbow Dash after all..."
