It's about three in the morning, three hours away from Celestia's sun rise. Two mares are trotting through town one a sky blue pegasus with a bandaged nose, and a turquoise pegasus with a hoof to her jaw trying to ease the pain of a fractured jaw. The two walked in total silence on their path to Lightning Dust abode, where a little sister was waiting. The two pegasus mares were hoping for the same thing. Making Scootaloo happy again. The two approached the, warm and inviting home of the two sisters. Lightning stopped a few feet away from the door, fear over coming the mare. Rainbow Dash looked back at Lightning Dust with a curious look.
"Something wrong?" Lightning looked up, she didn't want to talk to much it hurt to much. So instead she nodded her head signaling yes I am fine. The two pegasus walked up to the door and slowly walked into the house. The house is the same as Lightning left it a little messy, but your still able to trot around. But over by the stairs was a sofa and on that sofa was a little orange filly who was staring into nothing. Lightning looked at her, guilt stinging her heart. She made her sister like this, and its going to be worse when she tells Scootaloo about why Rainbow's nose is bandaged. Lightning lost a large about of spunk she had before. She walked as if she was shy in nature, her head dropped in guilt. But she forced herself to go over to the couch, Rainbow stayed back to watch but she still was ready for anything.
"Hey squirt," Lightning looked at Scootaloo hoping for a reply. But none came, the filly continued to stare off to the wall as if it was infinity. But Scootaloo's ears did perk so she did know Lightning was there. "Listen." She stopped, she didn't want to apologies, she did nothing wrong. Her pride was to large to swallow especially in front of Rainbow. But she also wanted to see Scootaloo happy again. "I... I." She stopped, her pride is stuck in her throat. "I..I...I'm sorry." Scootaloo quickly looked to her older sister in shock, then she got a serious look again.
"For what?" the ruffed filly's voice asked, she wanted to make-up with her older sister as much as her sister does.
"I.. Should have told you about Wonderbolt Academy." Scootaloo's eyes teared up but she kept it all in. "I'm sorry." Lightning even seemed to be tearing a bit, her anger at her self and her sadness for her sister settling in. She knew what was coming up was going to be even harder. "I think I need to tell you my stupidity of what I did tonight." Scootaloo looked to her sister in confusion. She didn't seem to know what her sister could have done. Lightning let out a bit of a laugh about thinking back to what she did. The other two pegasus looked to each other in confusion. Only then did Scootaloo see the bandaged nose on her idol, then she looked to her sisters side of her face, and saw a matching bandage. Scootaloo's mouth was a agape with shock. "You see, I was being so stupid." Lighting at this point had streams of tears going down her face. "I went to get drunk, and Rainbow came in and I got us both arrested." Lightning was still laughing, and still crying a mix of. Laughing, and sadness tears continued to stream down her red hot cheeks. Scootaloo without any warning pulled her sister into a hug. At first Lightning was a little surprised, then she embraced her sister they both were crying over each others shoulder. For that moment the two held each other and had no intention of letting go. This went on for about five minutes, or six but for the two sisters it felt like time was standing still just for them. But every moment has to end, but it ended with a large amount of closer with Scootaloo whispering in her elder sisters ear.
"Don't.. Do that again." The two broke the tight embrace, the two wiped there tears. Lightning looked over to Rainbow who was starting for the door.
"Hey!" The other two pegasus looked to Lightning. A thought went through Lightnings head, how about Rainbow stay the night. But then she ignored the idea, it was a stupid idea in her mind. Must be the hangover talking. "Never mind," Rainbow shrugged and left the abode of the two sisters. The two sisters in the house get up from the comfortable couch. The older sister ruffed up her little Scoots mane and said.
"Love ya, Scoots." The filly blushed wildly. The two went up stairs wanting to end the day they had to endure. Little do they know the next day is probably just as bad if not worse.
