In a Hospital room, an orange filly visits a dear friend.
We are here again, just like that time...
That time, we weren’t alone. Sweetie Belle was here too.
"Do you think he will be alright?" I asked.
“I hope, I pray …” Sweetie Belle answered with her hooves together.
When you told me you would distract the timberwolves, I wanted to go after you, but I didn’t, I was afraid.
But I swear I ran as fast as I could to get help. I was so happy when we found Spike.
“Spike!!” Sweetie Belle cried as she hugged the dragon.
“What’s going on?” The dragon asked, confused.
“Timberwolves…!” Apple Bloom managed to say, breathing heavily.
“Button Mash is distracting them.” I shouted, impatient.
Spike bared his teeth: “Tch… Button Mash…”
As the dragon said that, I could see it in his eyes eyes… he wasn’t surprised, he was amazed. He can see you like I do; he can see the hero I see.
“Is he going to be alright, sis?” Asked Sweetie Belle, as our sister got out the doctors room.
“We don’t know, darling.” Her sister told us, her eyes filled with tears.
“It’s a miracle he is even alive.” My sister spoke, getting an angry glare from my friend’s sister.
I’ve never been so ashamed in my life before. Being saved by the last pony I would expect.
I asked my sister if she could take me to your room, when we saw you, she asked: “Is that the weakling you told me about, Scoots?”
I hugged her. “(sob) I’m so sorry, Rainbow… (sob)” I cried in her chest.
She hugged me back and said: “Yeah Scootaloo… me too…”
Even after that, I couldn’t bring myself to be honest.
Even that day…
“I don’t think we should call Button Mash to this one…” Sweetie Belle told me as we walked to Sweet Apple Acres.
“Don’t worry Sweetie; he will probably be too scared to come anyway.” I told her.
I wanted you there, I was afraid to go alone, why couldn’t I just say it?
The pegasus hears her friend moving.
“Scootaloo? (huff) Is that You?” The pony asks.
The filly smiles to her savior and asks: “Are you okay, Button?”
“I’ve been better. (huff) Can you please (huff) give the spray.” Says Button, pointing the anti-asthma spray with his hoof.
“Yes, of course.” Says the young mare, giving him his medicine.
The earth pony grabs the spray and takes the liquid, he breathes deeply.
“Thanks, Scootaloo.” Button says, smiling.
Scootaloo sat in Button’s bed and said “You… you saved my life again, you’re a hero Button.”
“A hero… hardly!” Button answers. ”A hero must inspire confidence and security to ponies.” Button holds the medicine bottle in his right roof. "Who would feel safe around a hero who needs a spray to breathe?”
The young mare lean closer to the stallion and whispers: “A pegasus that can't fly."
And with that kiss, I claim my hero…
