A grin edged my cheeks as I looked down from a high stand at a track. With the help of Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, we had set it up at the school to show off my mad skills to everypony. Both of them stood off to the side with the rest of our class. My wings spread out sending out a small gust of wind, and I started flapping them.

“Go Scoots!” Apple Bloom shouted as I sped down the track. Hitting the first ramp, I was able to flip midair going through a ring and landing on a grinding rail which spiraled up. I jumped off, doing a triple flip, twisting to a upright position before landing on a ramp which made a loop.

Shooting up, I rode along the loop going to another ramp and launched off of it. Spinning four times in the air. I was able to force my body to flipping around my scooter before landing on the final ramp, screeching to a halt in front of everypony.

“Yeah!” I shouted, and they all cheered.

“That was awesome!” Sweetie Belle cheered.

“It was alright,” Diamond Tiara snipped, making me look at her. Her rude comment couldn’t bring me down, nothing could.

“Are you kidding that was awesome!” Silver Spoon shouted grinning. I chuckled as even Diamond Tiara had to know it was sweet when she hid a small smile.

“EEEE!” Apple Bloom screeched making everypony cover their ears at the sound. “Your cutie mark!” My head instantly turned, making me screech myself seeing my cutie mark. Seeing the mark for the first time took my breath away. It was a wheel with lightning under it and wings on the side

“Yeah!” I shouted, jumping into the air and shooting higher than I had ever before. But the excitement quickly turned to me panicking as I flew higher into the air. Shooting through a large cloud. After a minute, I stopped, realizing I wasn’t falling. I looked around for a few seconds and then at my wings flapping. I was, I was FLYING! “YES!” I shouted and everypony cheered again.

“Whoa kiddo.” I looked at Dash on the cloud which I had gone through. She looked down and then smirked.

“I’m flying!” I cheered, grinning and she smiled.

“I can see that squirt.” She flew over to me.

“And I got my cutie mark!”

Her grin couldn’t be wider. “Congratulations!” Dash hugged me and I buried my face into her warm blue chest. She was always there for me when I needed it, and this was perfect. I rarely got this close to Dash, and I couldn’t believe her scent. It was morning dew mixed with rain. We landed on a cloud and she stepped back. “Hey you want to go celebrate?”

“Would I?!”

“I'll go talk to your teacher first.”

“Sure.” I jumped off and sped down to the ground flapping my wings and hovering before landing on the ground grinning.

“Whoa!” Sweetie Belle shouted, and I grinned as Dash walked over to my teacher. “I can’t believe you just flew.”

“Oh-oh someone’s a lucky pony,” Apple Bloom said, grinning devilishly.

“Shut up!” I hit her lightly and we all started laughing giddy with excitement. We danced around with each other.

“Come on Scoot’s let’s go,” Dash said, coming over to us. “I got the okay from your teacher.”

I looked at Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. “Guys.”

“Go ahead,” Sweetie Belle said, and I shot into the air with Dash.

Following Dash closely wasn’t hard, she kept at a moderate pace. We stopped after a while landing on a cloud. I was breathing hard making her chuckle and pat my back. “So what’cha want today? Anything you want, it’ll my treat,” Dash asked. Everything about Dash, oh it was just so awesome.

Opening my mouth, I froze. For a very long time I had dreamed of this moment, but just as it was happening. Everything drained away in that instant, making me forget everything that I had planned for this moment. “I.” I face hoofed making her eye me. “I, um, don’t know, you choose.” I smiled a fake smile.

“Alright, sounds good to me. Seeing as you just recently got your wings to work, let’s not go too nuts. I don’t want you falling out of the sky and getting hurt.” Quickly I nodded. “How about we go get a snack or two.”

“Sounds great!” We flew off the cloud landing in front of sugar cube corner. Dash went inside first, and Mr. Cake smiled seeing us.

“Welcome,” he greeted.

“Two cup cakes.”

“Coming right up.” Mr. Cake went into the back and I looked around. There was no one here.

Pulling out a few bits from under her wing, Dash put them on the counter. Less than a minute later, Mr. Cake came out with two cupcakes. Sparklers flared on each of the triple layered orange frosted cupcakes.

This was crazy! They were my favorite kind. Not wanting to wait, I licked the cupcake. An almost ice cream orange sorbet flavor ran down my throat. The flavor made me shiver at the wonderful thing running over my taste buds.

“How do you like it?” Dash asked.

“Love it! This is my favorite cupcake, but how’d you know?” I asked, looking at Mr. Cake, he smiled. “I never told anypony about it.”

“Educated guess.” Dash winked making me try to grin wider, but if I grinned any wider it felt like my face was going rip from the pressure. In fact my cheeks were starting to hurt, but that didn’t matter in the slightest. “Anyway, where do you want to go next?” Dash asked as we finished the cupcakes.

“Um, I don’t know.” My mind was still completely blank. Dash tapped her hoof a little thinking, then looking at a clock.

“Oh I know of something going down soon.” Quickly, I nodded and followed her outside Sugar Cube Corner. We flew into the air going to a large cloud and looking down at pegasi throwing clouds at each, a few laughing. “Come one we got to get in on this!”

Both shot down and landed on top of the cloud. Dash grabbed some cloud and threw it at another making a poof sound causing her to roll. She looked surprised at Dash, and Dash smirked at her.

“IT’S DASH! ATTACK!” the mare shouted, and pony quickly turned to us. A slight chill went up my spine.

“Come on kiddo, we got our work cut out for us.” Grabbing some cloud, I copied Dash’s moments throwing it at a pony before she could hit Dash with a ball of cloud. In an instant, other pony’s took notice to me protecting her. Throwing clouds as fast as I could, ponies started to take cover throwing clouds back at me, causing me to take cover.

After a while we were forced to hide behind a cloud wall. Both of us were breathing hard and laughing. She looked behind the wall and cloud bits pelted the wall making her move her head back quickly. Dash laughed harder as the wall chipped away slowly.

“Surrender!” some pony shouted.

“NEVER!” Dash shouted back throwing a cloud at a pony trying to flank us. I picked up some cloud and rolled out from behind the cloud wall launching an attack, hitting a few pony before getting behind another wall. Cloud bits then began pelting my wall, easily chipping it away.

“Crap not another Dash!” some pony shouted. Unending gratification filled me. I couldn’t believe anypony would compare me to Dash! She was the most awesome pony in the world, and the feeling, oh nothing compared!

“Scoots!” Dash shouted, rolling over to me and taking out two more pony along the way to my wall.

“What’s up?!” I threw a cloud taking out another pony as he tried to jump over the wall, rolling as he landed.

“We need to flank them. Do you think that you can move around them to give me a shot?”

“Sure.” I ran dodging cloud bits as they were thrown at me. I grabbed bits of cloud throwing the bits back at them. Rolling, I was able to hide behind another wall flanking them, and they knew it. Dash jumped out from behind a wall launching her own attack and taking out the last of the pony in the battle since their backs were now turned.

“Yeah!” Dash shouted and all the pony around us hit their two front hooves together clapping since we weren’t on the ground. She cheered and came over to me, then lifted me up with one hoof surprising me. “Give it up for the victor!” They cheered louder. Dash set me down next to her.

“That was fun, Dash,” a stallion said, walking over to us and they hoof pumped. “We’ll get you next time.”

“You say that but I’m still undefeated.”

“Only thinks to this pony.” He looked at me and held out his hoof. “Give it here.” I hoof pumped with him and he chuckled. “Next time though, we’ll get you to little one.” He waved flying off with a large group of pony.

“How was that for fun?” Dash asked.

“It was great! I can’t believe we won.”

“Of course we won, I haven’t been beaten at this once! I’m the queen of cloud wars, nopony can beat me.” She smiled boosting her beautiful large wings.

“Wow,” I whispered.

Those beautiful things glimmered like gems, rays of light bouncing off her making her glow like the sun. There wasn’t a pony on this planet that could match her. There was nothing else I could do but stare, biting my lip.

Rainbow Dash defined beauty to me. Defined in every aspect and always moving toward a dream which is in her reach no matter what happens, a true hero. “Anyway, that burned a lot of time, where to now?”

“Well the sun is going to set, how about we watch it set?”

“Sure thing.”

“Thank you so much for this.” She smiled, her cheeks were also a bit numb from smiling so much. It only made me chuckle. Dash was having a good time to. We flew over to a cloud, she laid back and I laid down next to her, snuggling into her. She pulled me close, and I looked out at the sunset.

Everything around us lit up just beautifully, with reds, purples, pinks and oranges. A warmth filled me as our cloud turned orange with a tinge of red. She rubbed my side a little noticing it. We watched the sun as it went down so gracefully. Tears went down my face as it disappeared.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“The sun set, today has been so much fun, I don’t want it to end.”

She snickered and rubbed my back. “We have the whole night kiddo.” We got up and she wiped my tears away. “This is far from over Scoots. Plus now that you can fly, you can hang with me all the time. Come on we have one more big thing to do.”

“Can it be on the ground? My wings are really sore.”

“First time flying will do that to you, don’t worry you’ll get used to it. Pretty soon you’ll be shooting across the sky like it’s nothing.”

“Maybe I'll even be faster than you.” My wings spread out and she rolled her eyes.

“Yeah squirt, maybe, but you’re still a beginner, you got a while to go before you are even considered my pupil.”

“Wait I could be your pupil?!”

“Of course.” She hugged me. “I don’t just let any pony join my cloud war team, I only take the best, I accept nothing less, and believe me your one of the greatest pony I know, even as a filly.” My body quaked, how awesome was this?! She let me go, and I danced a bit. “Come on, we have one more thing we have to do.” She took to the air and we flew going toward Sweet Apple Acres.

“Why are we going to Apple Bloom’s house?”

“Oh there’s something I needed to do there, then we can move onto the final event.” A loving feeling filled me as we landed in front of a barn. She pushed opened the door and we went inside. “Stupid lights.” Dash flipped on the lights

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” I stepped back as everypony I knew shouted it. A second later I realized what was happening and I giggled seeing everypony in the light, big shinny party hats and all. Music started and I looked at Dash which smirked.

“Happy birthday Scoots.” I looked around the barn, everypony from Twilight to Spike, to even Diamond Tiara were here. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom came over grinning wildly making me blush a tiny bit.

“Enjoy your day?” Sweetie Belle asked giddy.

“It’s been the greatest.”

“Well Scoots I have to go talk to Twilight real fast,” Dash said, padding me on the back and I nodded. She went over to Twilight. I looked back at them.

“So wanna do some party games?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Of course!”

We all went around enjoying the party games that Pinkie Pie had set up. A clown came out after a while rolling on a ball and I several ponies laughed as he honked a horn. The clown got off and held out the ball to me making me grin.

I took it and did a front, one hoof stand on the ball. Everypony around me stomped as I made the ball roll around in a circle. Jumping off, I toss the ball back and the clown smiled. He jumped onto the ball and flipped landing on the ground, and then tossed it back to me. A challenge if I ever saw one.

“Oh a challenge,” Dash snickered, and the clown smiled nodding.

“I'll take that.” I jumped onto the ball send me into the air, I flipped twisting mid air landing back onto the ball perfectly. I flipped off and the clown chuckled. “Beat that.” He cracked a few bones and jumped onto the ball, then started dancing, flipping twice on the ball before flipping off and sending the ball my way.

Swinging my hoof under the ball I kicked it up into the air and jumped up. The ball hit my hooves as it went up allowing me to dance sending it up higher. Twisting around, I flipped causing the ball to slid down my side, landing before me allowing me to land on the ball on the ground.

I kicked the ball up flipping with it and then kicking. It shot against the wall shooting back and landing right under me as I landed on it. I jumped flipping and spinning twice before landing, then kicking the ball back to the clown. He stood up a bit to catch the ball making him slid back slight. The clown looked up shocked.

“There’s no way I’m beating that,” he said, and everypony cheered once again, making me grin.

“Cake,” Applejack announced and we rushed over. She held out a knife to me. “Care to cut the first piece.” Cutting a corner piece, I passed it along.

“You don’t like the corner piece?” Dash asked.

“Too much frosting.” I stuck out my tongue and Dash laughed. Applejack half smiled as I gave the knife back. She was able to cut much more square pieces making me smile as everypony got a piece. I craved off the chocolate frosting and enjoyed my cake piece. Chocolate wasn’t my thing.

“You should do gifts,” Twilight commented looking at the time.

“Come on,” Applejack said.

As quick as I could, I gulped down my last piece of cake and we went over to the table of presents towering above me. Dash gave me one, reading who gave it to me first.

Before each gift was opened, I thanked each pony which had given me the gift. It went from clothes from Rarity to a book from Twilight, then a golden orange diamond necklace from Diamond Tiara which made me eye her for a few seconds and she just smiled. This gift caught me a bit off guard.

“Thanks,” I said, smiling a little unsure at the expensive gift. I had never been given such a gift so I wasn’t sure how to act.

“We’ll talk tomorrow.” She winked and I shrugged putting it on.

“And finally from me,” Dash said, setting down a new scooter, it was made of metal, two wheels, and best of all it had Dash’s cutie mark printed on it. My eyes went wide. I jumped hugging her in a very tight embrace her making her hug me tighter.

“Oh my gosh! Thank you!”

“It’s the first of a production line in Los Pegasus. It’s made of metal so it’s more sturdy than your wood one. That way you can do insane tricks.”

“That’s so cool thank you!” I turned letting go of Dash.

“Every pony, it’s bout’ time to be getting’ on home.” Applejack said. A few groaned but left and I grinned flipping off the wall with the new scooter. I stared at it, this thing was awesome, it was not only lighter than my wood one, but stronger.

“You like it kiddo?” I looked at Dash.

“Loving it! It’s so much better than my wood one.”

“I’m glad, listen you should just head home and come back for your other presents tomorrow. I’m sure your tired, and Applejack said she’ll watch them for you.”

“Sweet, thank you again, this is great!”

“I bet, just be careful with it, it’s a new model so it’ll probably might have a defect or two, I don’t want that thing breaking and causing you to crash. I’d rather have you in one piece than that thing.” I nodded. “Anyway, I have a feeling you’ll be fine, but just in case be really careful.” I knocked on my lucky helmet.

“I'll be really careful.”

“Great, now go have some fun.” Dust shot up behind me as I sped out of the barn doing a flip or two before getting to the property fence that surrounded Sweet Apples Acres. I did a double flip landing on the ground on the other side. My other scooter couldn’t handle such awesomeness!

Today had been the best day of my life, I couldn’t believe I had been so lucky. Now that I could fly I was going to be able to hang with Dash almost every day, school is going to drive me crazy waiting to get out. Not only that, now that I knew what my cutie mark was, I could do exactly what I love for the rest of my life!

“WOO!” I shouted into the air. The feel of a rock hitting my wheel made me gasped. The thought was a moment too late, but I should have been looking where I was going. Following the moment of my body, I was flipped off my scooter hitting grass and sliding. “Oh that didn’t feel good,” I grumbled, getting up.

Quickly I stretched my wings making sure they were fine. I let out a breath and then looked at the scooter, it was perfectly fine. My helmet clicked happily as I tapped it. Grabbing my scooter, I got up.

“Hey.” I paused looking around for a random voice. The edge of the Everfree forest quickly greeted me, but what stood out was a small shack was off to the side. It had a fire pit, three sides and a roof, but no side facing the Everfree forest, Ponyville river was not far away. I often came this way because I walked Apple Bloom home, and I lived across the river. But I had never noticed the shack before. “Over here.” A hoof waved me over, a pony was mostly hidden behind one of the walls.

“What?” I asked curious, but slightly nervous noticing that I was alone, but hey this was Ponyville, nothing bad really happens here.

“I need some help, I kind of got tied up, would you mind helping me? All my other hooves are tied together, I’m such a dork sometimes.”

This pony was quite funny. “Ah sure thing.” I rode over and a pain in my head was all I felt as I blinked realizing on was on the cold ground next to the fire pit. “Ugh.” I got up unsteady. Only grass stains and scratches covered me before, but now I was also covered in dirt with bruises.

“Awake I see.” I looked at a unicorn stallion in a black mask. Black clothes covered every inch of his body.

“W-who are you?” I asked dizzy, trying to steady myself

“I’ve been watching you Scootaloo.” I backed up into the shack and I looked around panicking. It took me only a moment before I realized the situation and extended my wings. I jumped trying to fly away. He grabbed my wing with his magic snapping it making me scream in pain. Pure terror and sick feeling came over me as I felt the sharp edges of my wing bone scrap at the inside of my skin.

“AAAAAH!”

“You’re not getting away that easily.” He snapped my other wing in the same place and threw me again the wall snapping at least one rib churning my insides.

My eyes shifted to him, and tears flooded my face as I gasped for air from the pain. As I got up, blood ran into my left eye. I felt my head seeing blood. My lucky helmet had saved me once again from breaking my neck against something.

“Stop,” I more or less begged and he reach for me.

Making a ditch effort, I ran for my scooter and he punched me in my side sending me smacking into the wall. A loud thundering crack echoed in my leg, as few nails which were sticking out ripped gashes along my side.

Everything started to shake, forcing me to get up causing me to notice my broken hind leg, threatened to bend painfully the wrong way. Blood burned my eyes running down from gaping open wounds and pooling around my body. I looked at him as he picked up my scooter with his magic.

“Trying to escape with this?” He threw it onto the ground turning it up right. “But these things break so easily.” His hoof came down with a fierce force, it snapping it like a twig. Tears flooded my face, Dash’s present!

“No!” I shouted coughing blood, making me start to hyperventilate, that was not good. I tried to run but my leg was beyond broken. With a twist of magic, he bend my leg making me crash to the ground screaming in pain.

The masked pony grabbed me with his hoof, grinning a horrific smile, then pulled me up to him. He kissed me making me feel his tongue in my mouth grossing me out, as it went deep down my throat making me gag and he pulled out after a minute. If my two cents hadn’t been knocked out of me, I’d have bitten down, hard.

“You taste so much better, I bet you’ll feel even better.” I looked down and my eyes went wide seeing his huge thing. I had never seen a stallion’s thing before, only heard about it from Apple Bloom having walked in on her brother in the morning. He always yelled at her to get out of his room.

“No, please no!” I begged screeching, I knew what it was for, and I knew it was only meant for married pony.

His hoof cut across my cheek as he slapped me, making blood run down my face onto my broken body. “Shut up!” he shouted mad, then slapped me a few more times before he pushed me down on all four legs. All I could do was scream, and even then my voice was breaking badly.

That thing went into me with one powerful thrust, and a terrible feeling washed over me as a feeling of several things ripping inside me went up into my belly, making me throw up blood and cake, as my insides were crushed against each other choking me not only in vomit, but in blood.

“No,” I mumbled, as more bloody tears went down my face.

Looking down, I saw rivers of blood flowing down my hind legs. He thrust again crushing everything, almost like a thousand pound anvil crushed my belly. What seemed to be the only relief was each thrust being stopped by something inside me. More blood poured from my insides onto him making him go harder and faster enjoying the pain and blood pouring out of me.

If it wasn’t for the fact my insides were being pushed together so hard that I couldn’t do anything but gasp for air; I’d have been screaming in agony as each crushing thrust pulled me apart from the inside, making my hip crack slightly at his powerful stabs pounded against them, pushing and pulling my insides together, only to tear them apart with the next plunge inside of me. But when I tried going forward, I only to be pulled back.

An extremely hard thrust caused him to hit my womb caving it in slightly. I felt something fill me, causing a sickening disgust to rip though me even more as an acid like substance filled all my wounds.

My blood mixed with something white turning what was leaking out of me pink. I looked at him for a moment. I was dizzy, sick, in pain, and completely horrified. Blood drooled from my mouth, I had bit my tongue really hard at some point.

“How wonderful.” He pulled out and blood poured out heavily turning the dirt under me to mud. “I’ve been wanting to do that for so long.” He threw me off of him, and onto the ground sliding against rocks ripping up my front. The monster hit me with his hoof rolling me over, then hit me several times like a cat playing with a broken mouse laughing. “Oh such a fun toy, I wish you didn’t have to die, but you’re going to, ever so beautifully.”

“Dash,” I whimpered quietly at the pain, my whole body was calling for me to stop it, I tried to get up but my body wasn’t responding.

That thing grinned and stopped. “She isn’t here!” he shouted happily. I looked at him grinning and laughing as he cleaned himself off with a rag. “She doesn’t care for a whore like you, no one does.” I looked around, he rubbed my blood and his white stuff into my face rubbing it like acid in my wounds making me whimper.

“Dash,” I said choking on the rancid smell.

“Come on, scream DASH!” he shouted. “DASH COME SAVE SCOOTALOO!” that monster screamed into the air, and I looked around. A few minutes passed, she wasn’t coming, she wasn’t going to save me, nopony was.

“Please Dash, help me.”

He grinned as more tears went down my face. She wasn’t coming, she wasn’t going to save me. “Please call all you like.”

“Hey what the hell is happening over here?!” We both looked at an earth pony guard as he walked over to us and the monster killing me smirked as the guard’s black coat when white like a ghost. “By Cele—” The guard’s spine glowed and then something snapped making him fall to the ground screaming, paralyzed. I looked at the monster and he started laughing going over to the guard.

“Oh how wonderful.” He stomped on the guard, snapping his legs like dry twigs making the guard choke on bloody tears. The monster then started to stomp on the guards side making a disgusting wet snapping sound and tears went down the guards face as blood left his mouth choking him.

“Stop,” I begged in a rough whisper, he turned to me and the light left the guards eyes finally dying, having been turned to a bag of broken bone and mush. A strange relief and jealousy filled me.

“Imagine if I got my hooves on Dash.” Those words shut me up instantly. If Dash came, he would kill her. Guards were not easy or simple to beat, and he killed one without a second thought.

He grabbed the guards head and ripped it off cleanly. He chuckled coming over to me. He made the guard’s lips touch mine and then he forced his hoof up the guards throat forcing the tongue to mix with mine. As much as I possibly could, I tried to pulling away, but I couldn’t move.

“Woops,” that thing said, as an eye popped out of the guard hitting my temple and rolling to the ground. “I guess that’s done.” He tossed the guard’s head.

“Please no,” I begged.

“Now tell me do you think little Dash is coming for you?”

“No.”

“Do you think she could protect you from me?”

“No,” I cried.

“That guard could have taken on Dash, and I snapped his neck like he was nothing.”

“Please no more.”

The creature grinned and punched me. “Fine, you’re just going to die like the whore you are.” He laughed and I felt a kick to my head and something snap, then another kick to my belly sending me into the river. The cold water numbed me, but soon filled my lungs choking me and making me feel relief as I black out.
