The Masked Mare of Mystery

Third Person POV

After adopting Scootaloo, Firefly and Rainbow Blaze took her back home to get to know her better. To Firefly's delight, Scootaloo behaved a lot like Rainbow Dash when she was her age.

"What I don't get is why you chose to move to Ponyville." Scootaloo asked her new parents confused.

"Because my parent are buried here." Blaze replied sadly, "My father had passed away recently, and I was very close to him as was Rainbow Dash."

"But why did you adopt me?" Scootaloo asked.

"Losing somepony you love is never easy. We adopted you to help us and Rainbow Dash get over it." Firefly answered.

"What? Rainbow Dash upset? I've never seen Rainbow cry before." the filly said shocked.

"Believe me, she's pretty down in the dumps, but why don't we go cheer her up with her new sister, shall we?" Firefly asked.

"Yeah!" Scootaloo replied excitedly.

Rainbow Dash made it a rule to cry in front of another pony, she had a reputation to keep up, and if anypony saw her shed a tear, she'd be seen as weak, and that's the last thing she needed, and right now, she was crying like a new born foal. so much that to say she missed her grand-father was an understatement.  As she sobbed, she heard a knock at her door. Drying her tears, Rainbow Dash opened it to her parents.

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"We adopted a foal, so we want you to met your new sibling." Firefly replied.

The next thing RD knew, something tackled her down. She looked up to see who her attacher was, revealed to be none other than Scootaloo smiling at her.

"Hey Dash , you're parent adopted me..." Scootaloo cheered excited until she was cut off by Rainbow Dash.

The cyan pegasus had her forehooves around around the filly, hugging her tenderly. Scootaloo was more than happy to return the hug.

"Well, why don't you two show us around town?" Rainbow Blaze asked.

The sisters looked at each other with knowing smiles.

"Sure Dad." Rainbow laughed.

Rainbow Dash's POV

Scootaloo and I showed Mom and Dad the whole town. By the looks on their faces, I could tell they were starting to like it here in Ponyville. Of course, they were going to get the chance to meet everypony in town at Pinkie's "WeIcome to Ponyville and Sorry for your loss" party. I alway enjoy Pinkie's parties, But I know I was going to enjoy it more with my new awesome sister. I guess she did too, because during the tour, Scootaloo never left my side and I didn't want her too.

Despite Ponyville being a town, it took the rest of the day to show our parents everything. In fact, the sun had gone down by the time we reached the house.

I have to admit, I found it surprising that Rainbow Strike chose to live in a regular house rather than a cloud house. The inside was your typical modern house, with the exception of the addition of a television, a grievence gift no doubt. Anyway, it was straight to bed with everypony.

Scootaloo's POV

"Good night Scootaloo." Mom said and kissed my head.

"Goodnight Mom." I replied.

I waited till mom was out of the room. Listening closely, I waited until I heard another door close. When I was sure Mom was in bed with Dad, I got out of bed and crept out of my room to the guest bedroom. I know I should have just stayed in my room and went to slept, but who could sleep when the coolest pony ever is in the next room.

I quietly opened the door and stepped it. I could see my big sister sleeping peacefully in bed, facing me. I had gotten two steps further when Rainbow opened her eyes, catching me off guard. I gasped, afraid she was going to be mad at me for disrupting her, but to my surprise, she smiled and raised her sheets to let me in.

I walked over and jumped in bed with her. Dash hugged me tightly, much to my delight. I think she went back to sleep, but I had to stay up to enjoy the moment. When I first asked Rainbow to take me under her wing, I only wanted her to be LIKE a big sister to me, but I never would guessed she would become my sister. I swear, I have to be the luckiest filly alive and that's because I have the coolest big sister that ever lived.

Rainbow Blaze's POV

I have to admit having Scootaloo in our lives has made me feel a bit better. Yesterday was one of the happiest since Dad died. The feeling I got when we went around town as a family made me smile. I guess that therapist knew what she was talking about. Anyway, I got up to make breakfast when I noticed the doors to Scootaloo's and the guest bedroom where slightly opened. Looking inside Scootaloo's room revealed an empty bed.

"Dear Faust no." I prayed, assuming the worst.

I went over to the guest room and opened the door more, sighing with relieve. Inside, Rainbow Dash was hugging Scootaloo while they slept. No doubt they'll get along fine.

I didn't notice Firefly join me in watching the heartwarming scene until she awe'd at the sight.

I remember the times she and Dad did that whenever he visited or we visited him. I looked over at my wife. I could tell she was thinking the same thing.

"Let's make them breakfast." I said.

We're on the road to recovery.
