4.1) Reach for the Lie!

"Scootaloo! Scootaloo, sweetheart, are you okay?!" Amber's voice came crawling into Scootaloo's senses what seemed like seconds later. Scootaloo opened her eyes to discover her vision was slightly bleary. Thankfully, it cleared up as here eyes opened more. She discovered she was lying on a hospital bed in a curtain-walled room.

"What happened?" Scootaloo groaned, "why does my head hurt so much?"

"Scootaloo, do you remember anything?" Her mom asked. She shook her head but instantly regretted it, due to the sharp pains that stabbed her skull.

"That's too bad..." Amber trailed off, thinking Scootaloo would never remember this day, but an idea quickly struck her. "Because you..passed! You passed the flight test, Scootaloo! The doctor said you would be able to fly in a moth or two!"

"Really?" Scootaloo asked, not believing her ears.

"Yup!" Her mom lied.

"That's awesome! I can't wait for my birthday next year!" Amber cringed at the possibility of the truth coming anywhere near her daughters ears, Scootaloo's hopes would be shattered instantly! It was wrong to lie, she needed to tell her daughter the truth.

"Actually...Scootaloo..." She began, but Scootaloo had already fallen fast asleep, dreaming of her tiny wings touching the clouds.
