The Beginning

The Beginning

Riiiinnnnggg

The bell rang indicating school was out.

"Alright class, I will see you all tomorrow." Cheerilee said with a smile on her face. The Cutie Mark Crusaders zipped straight out the door into the bright sunlight of the afternoon. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle headed for the clubhouse, while Scootaloo went the opposite way.

"Scootaloo, where are you going?" Sweetie Belle asked in confusion.

"Yeah, we always meet after to school for our Cutie Mark Crusaders meeting." Applebloom added.

Scootaloo looked really excited bouncing up and down, with a giant smirk on her face. "I'm going to meet with Rainbow Dash for flying lessons today!" She shouted in excitement

"Oh well, have fun Scootaloo," Applebloom said with slight disappointment in her voice.

"Yeah, like Rainbow Dash has anytime for a blank flank like you!" A familiar voice laughed.

The three fillies turned around laying there eyes on a pink earth pony, Diamond Tiara and her friend Silver Spoon.

"Leave her alone!" Sweetie Belle squeaked

"Yeah, Rainbow promised we would hang out and practice!" Scootaloo said in anger attempting to fly in the air

"I bet you will get there and she won't have time for you," Said Diamond Tiara sticking her head in the air walking away with her friend.

Scootaloo's ears flattened against her head and she slowly walked away. Doubts about her friend Rainbow Dash entered her head, which was new for her, she always had faith in Rainbow. But Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were right for the past week about Rainbow Dash. Sweetie Belle walked towards Scootaloo until Applebloom stopped her with her hoof. Sweetie Belle looked at the yellow filly who was shaking her head and knowing what that meant. The two fillies decided to head to their club house.

Scootaloo's bad mood finally vanished once she saw her favorite pegasus fly above her at super speed. She quickly smiled and ran after her as fast as her little legs could carry her.

“Hey, Rainbow Dash!" The orange filly shouted hovering a few feet in the air.

"Hey, squirt what's up?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I'm here for my lessons. You said you could teach me today." Scootaloo beamed with excitement.

"Oh, sorry kid, but I got some last minute weather assignments. We need a thunderstorm today and somepony, I'm not saying who,(Derpy) wasn't ready with the rain clouds on time. Maybe next time, okay squirt." She said with a wink.

"Alright..." Scootaloo said walking off, her bad mood returning in full force.

Scootaloo decided to head to the Cuite Mark Crusader’s Clubhouse hoping that her friends could cheer her up. As she walked into the clubhouse her friends looked at her, knowing what had happened for the fifth time this week. Scootaloo attempted to hide her frustration and sadness but her friends could clearly see it.

"So...um, what's on the crusading list today girls?" Scootaloo said, nearly mumbling out the words.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle shared a worried look. They knew her friend was disappointed but they hadn't seen her like this before.

"Well, we were thinking about being Cutie Mark Crusader weather forecasters!" The two shouted trying to lighten the mood.

"Well then, that's perfect, there’s going to be a thunderstorm today!" Scootaloo shouted angrily crossing her front legs sitting on the floor.

"We don't have to be forecasters Scoot." Sweetie belle said, trying to comfort her friend

"Its fine, we can." She scowled.

They went outside and stood under their umbrellas. The dark grey clouds started coming in slowly, but they were coming in. The three crusaders started to set up their equipment. It was a lot of work but if they got their cutie marks it would be worth it.

"Ha ha ha, what do you plan on doing with that... junk?" Diamond Tiara said coming out of nowhere like always.

"Yeah, are you going to be garbage ponies?" Silver Spoon laughed.

"For your information, we are goin’ to be weather forecast ponies," Applebloom said, fiddling with the instruments.

"Uh huh, more like weather losers. You even have a pegasus who can't fly! What will she know about the weather?” Diamond Tiara said with a glare.

"Yeah, and weren't you supposed to be with Rainbow Dash or something?" Silver Spoon said looking at her hoof.

Scootaloo flattened her against her head, her anger boiling inside. Her face started to turn red and she was ready to attack the two snotty brats! Her eyes started to water and she trembled in anger, but ran into the club house rather than attack.

"What is the matter with you two?!" Sweetie Belle squeaked.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both shrugged and started off to wherever else they were going.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle quickly followed Scootaloo into the clubhouse. Inside Scootaloo was laying on the floor looking like she was about to bust into tears, her face was still red and she looked furious.

"Scootal-" Applebloom attempted to say when she was cut off by Scootaloo.

"Why? Why can't we be appreciated for trying something? Just once I would like to do something that everypony will remember! That ponies want..." she said in anger and in sadness.

"Scootaloo, we try all the time," Applebloom said trying comfort her friend.

"No we always cause disasters. Don't you remember Fluttershy's cottage the talent show! We don't do anything that helps anypony..." she continued.

“But everpony always remember our disasters.” Applebloom joked.

“Very funny,” Scootaloo responded, obviously unamused.

"Well, we um... did that thing!" Sweetie Belle said trying to cheer her friend up

Scootaloo looked at her friends with watery eyes, her ears down and she started heading for the door with her head down. Scootaloo started down the stairs and headed towards the Everfree Forest. The rain had finally started, soaking her completely, though she was to depressed to care. She finally got to the Everfree borders and stood there looking deep into the woods. She took her first step in and kept walking and didn't look back. It was dark in there and she was soaked, but at least the rain clouds didn't reach past the Everfree.

She wasn't in the forest long until she started hearing noises and cracking branches.

"It’s alright Scootaloo," she said to herself, "there's nothing out here, just your imagination, you're just thinking about the branches and breathing and howling... Howling!?" A loud howl dashed that was definitely real resonated through the forest and a strong stench filled her nostrils. She turned around to see a pair of glowing green eyes staring right at her. Then another pair appeared, and another, and another, until there were seven pairs of eyes locked on to her.

She shook in fear as the first timberwolf stepped from the shadows.

*Gulp* She slowly started walking backwards, until the Timberwolf howled.

"AaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhH!" Scootaloo turned and ran as fast as she could. She jumped over rocks, hovered over bushes and leaped through split tree branches but she couldn’t shake the timberwolves. She ran until she got to a cliff, where she dug her hooves into the ground and skid to a stop at the very edge of the cliff. Scootaloo barely stopped herself from falling over the edge. She looked around quickly for an escape route but there were none. The timberwolves burst through the forest surrounding her.

She was trapped.

What happend?

What Happened?

She turned around, the timberwolves were right behind her, but she had no where to go. The timberwolves burst through the trees and surrounded her. She turned around, looking down the cliff to see how far the drop was. Unfortunately the fall was concealed by a dense. The lead timberwolf tensed, ready to pounce, and Scootaloo had only one option.

She took a step back as the timberwolf pounced. Scootaloo jumped right in the nick of time, the timberwolf slid off the cliff into the fog below. Scootaloo strained her wings attempting to keep herself aloft but couldn't hold herself up for too long and fell through the fog. She tried as hard as she could to stay in the air but her wings weren't strong enough. A sense of hopelessness overcame her as she fell to her demise, only to have her landing softened by a puddle of black gooey liquid.

"Eww, what is this stuff?!" Scootaloo said looking at the black goo covering her hoof. Her attention was diverted to the large puddle of goo, more specifically the bits of timberwolf scattered around her. She tried to free herself from the goo, but it stuck to her like glue. Her panic slowly grew as the wooden bits began to glow, the timberwolf attempting to put itself back together. Fortunately, it seemed to have the same issue Scootaloo did, the black goo preventing it from rebuilding itself. Noticing this she did the only thing she could think of to escape.

"HELP!" She cried, hoping sompony could hear her. What she wasn't expecting was an answer.

Dear Scootaloo, what do you seek most?

The voice was unlike anything she had ever heard, it sounded like what you would imagine an angel to sound like. It echoed though her mind, banishing her panic and sending wave of calm over her.

"Huh? Who's there? What is this?" Scootaloo asked looking around the area. She didn't see anypony, the only thing she saw was a small crystal. It glowed a bright orange, with small black and purple wisps dotting the surface.

What do you seek most, Scootaloo? It repeated.

"I'm not answering until you show yourself!"

My dear, dear Scootaloo, I am right in front of you.

"What?! Your the crystal? That can't be."

My child I can grant you any wish you would like, all you have to do is merely ask.

"Really? Anything I want?"

Absolutely anything.

"I guess one wish couldn't hurt. I wish... I wish I could do something everypony would remember... Or I wish I could fly... I wish I had my cutie mark..." Scootaloo said with her eyes closed and a tear dripping down her face.

Of course my child anything you wish.

Then, without warning, Scootaloo was lifted out of the goop in a light purple glow. She squirmed as a pinching pain resonated through her body. It increased instantly and she screamed in pain. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. The only way she could describe it was being crushed from the inside. A big purple flash erupted in the forest and Scootaloo was no longer in the Everfree Forest.

My child you have no idea what is in store for you.

~~~

"Now where would Rainbow Dash be?” Applebloom asked.

“Who knows, she could be anywhere in Ponyville. I mean it is Rainbow Dash after all.” Sweetie Belle replied.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle wandered around Ponyville looking for the rainbow maned pony. The rain drenched they manes and they were sopping wet and cold.

“When will the rain stop!” Applebloom shouted. As if it was listening to her the rain around them suddenly stopped. They looked around in confusion until a familiar voice drew their attention upwards.

"What are you two doing out here during a rainstorm?"

“Rainbow Dash!” Sweetie Belle squeaked as Rainbow flew down and landed next to them.

“We need yer help!” Applebloom shouted in Rainbows ear.

“Sure thing what's up?” Rainbow asked.

“Scootaloo went into the Everfree Forest and hasn't come out!” The two fillies said.

“What? Why would she go in there alone!” Rainbow shouted.

She tensed and was about ready to fly off when she was blinded by a bright purple flash right in the middle of Ponyville.

"What the hay!" She cried, covering her eyes with her hooves.

“Rainbow, look over there!” Applebloom pointed out. "I see somepony."

They could see a small orange filly in the distance and the rain clouds had suddenly disappeared.

Scootaloo’s eyes opened and stared up into the sky. The rain storm had passed and the sun was setting, the sky was being painted an orange and pink.

"Uh, what happened?" Scootaloo asked, rubbing her head.

"Scootaloo!" Applebloom Sweetie Belle, and Rainbow Dash all yelled charging toward her.

"Scoots, are you alright?!" Sweetie Belle asked in fear.

"Yeah I’m fine. What happened?" Scootaloo asked.

"We just found you collapsed on the ground." Rainbow Dash replied.

Scootaloo tried to stand, her legs shaking. She wobbled and lost her balance as she fell to the ground again. She tried again, this time Applebloom stood next to her to help her up.

"So kid, where is your home." Rainbow asked.

"Uh, home, I uh, don't need help getting there, I can walk, really." Scootaloo said in a paniced voice.

"You sure Scoot? You can't really walk straight." Applebloom said.

"I'm sure, just let go of me and you'll see." Scootaloo insisted.

Applebloom let go of the weakened pegusus. Scootaloo's legs shook from the weight but finally managed stand on her own. She slowly started walking forward waving to her friends.

"See, I will see you girls tomorrow at school." Scootaloo smiled, slowly walking away. Her friends watched her walk until they lost sight of her.

"Should we follow her?" Sweetie Belle asked, clearly worried for her friend.

"Nah, I'm sure she'll be fine." Rainbow Dash replied, before taking off into the sky. "What I'm more worried about is how the weather team cleared those clouds so fast without me. Anyway, you two should get home before your families start worrying."

~~~

Scootaloo slowly walked home, lost in thought about what happened to her in the forest. One minute she in the Everfree, the next she's in Ponyville with her friends? It just didn't make sense. And that voice, would the wishes really work? They hadn't so far, she was still a blank flank who couldn't fly.

By then the sun had almost completely dipped below the horizon, breaking Scootaloo out of her thoughts. She quickly looked around to make sure she was alone before turning to the outskirts of the town. Seeing that she was, she walked as fast as she could, before finally stopping at a small building.

It was a small run down two story building that stood at the very end of the town. It didn't stand out very much and if it wasn't for the lights on inside it would seem abandoned. Scootaloo sighed as she walked toward the small door. Over the door was a bland but readable sign.

Ponyville Orphanage

She opened the door and walked in, looking around. The inside of the building wasn't nearly as bad as the outside. It was clean, tidy, and inviting, unlike its rugged exterior. In the center of the room was a large table, capable of seating at least seven ponies. A small desk and bookshelf sat to the far right of the room, and a stone fireplace to the far left. It was lit, filling the room with a warm glow.

The owner of the orphanage was sitting by the fire. She was a middle aged earth pony mare with a baby blue coat. She had short white mane tied in a ponytail, violet eyes and a stop watch for her cutie mark. The noise of the bells hanging over the door caught her attention.

"Oh! Scootaloo your back, and how was your... Oh my!" The mare didn't finish her sentence from seeing Scootaloo in her condition.

Scootaloo looked up with a fake smile. "Hey Ms. Boflinger, how was your day?" she asked.

"A lot less exciting then yours if I had to guess." Ms. Boflinger chuckled, "What did you three do today? Sky diving? Cart driving?"

"Weather forecasting." Scootaloo replied, scratching the back of her head.

"Well at least that's less dangerous than what you usually do." Ms. Boflinger said. "Now go wash up, dinner is going to be done soon."

"Actually, can I go to bed early tonight?" Scootaloo asked, catching the caretaker by surprise. "I'm really tired and not very hungry."

"If you want to. But you should still go wash up." She said. Scootaloo thanked her before walking into the bathroom. Within a few minutes she was in her room lying on her bed.

It wasn't a very big room but it worked well enough for what it was used for. She had decorated it to the best of her ability, mostly by putting a few pictures of Rainbow Dash on the walls. Her bed was small, but comfortable, with a small nightstand and alarm clock next to it. It wasn't the best, but she was lucky to have her own room. The orphanage was built for a lot more ponies than were living in it so they were able to get their own rooms. Her room was right above the table and she could hear the chatter from the ponies downstairs.

Eventually the chatter stopped as they finished and she knew Ms. Boflinger was sending the other children to bed. None of them came upstairs as Scootaloo was the only one with a room upstairs. The other ponies no longer keeping her awake, she slipped under the covers to sleep.

Unfortunately, sleep didn't come easy for her as she was awoken by a flaming pain in her wings. She tossed and turned but nothing would stop the agony. She groaned and moaned until eventually it subsided and she fell asleep.

~~~

Her sleep was interrupted by a loud knocking at her door. Scootaloo groggily opened her eyes as she tried to understand why she was woken up. She glanced at her alarm clock which read, 7:50. Her cloudy mind couldn't remember why she had to get up so early until she heard the voice at the door.

"Scootaloo! Wake up or you'll be late for school!"

Oh crap. She thought, her eyes now wide open. She charged through the door, crashing into Ms. Boflinger. She uttered a quick apology before rushing downstairs. She grabbed her lunch off the table and bolted out the door. She quickly grabbed her scooter from a nearby bush and sped down the road toward her school.

During her trip she couldn't help but notice that her wings felt different than usual and that her scooter was moving a lot faster too. But she didn't have time to think about it. She pushed her wings harder, and sped toward the school. She blinked in surprise as she saw her destination come into view. Had she gotten there that fast? She her two friends sitting near the building and sped toward them. They saw her and gave a light shriek as she rocketed toward them.
She came to a quick stop right in front of them kicking up a large cloud of dust.

"Hi girls," Scootaloo said, "I told you I was alright."

"Yeah, but did ya' almost have ta' run us over?" Applebloom asked, coughing from the dust. "And how were you goin' so fast any-" She didn't finish as she and Sweetie Belle both gasped!

"Scootaloo! What happened to your wings?" Sweetie Belle squeaked.

"Huh? She asked, before looking back at her wings. Her eyes went wide with shock at the sight. Over night they had grown twice the size they were the previous day, with purple feathers in the middle of each wing. A large smile slowly grew on her face. Had her wish come true? There was only one way to find out.

With a powerful flap of her wing she was launched into the air! She gave a joyous laugh as flew in a circle above her friends heads. She could fly. And if that wish came true than she knew the rest would as well. She landed next to her friends, both of them awestruck at her sudden aerial prowess.

"I can't believe you can fly now Scoot, and just over night to!" Sweetie Belle said in excitement.

"Yeah, next thing ya' know you'll be gettin' your cutie mark first." Applebloom added with a wink.

"Hehe, maybe." Scootaloo replied with a smirk.

"What was that about getting a cutie mark?" An annoying but familiar voice replied. The trio turned to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walking toward them.

"Oh that's right," She continued, "For how long it's taking you three get yours, you'll probably never get them."
The two fillies laughed, causing Scootaloo to growl in anger. She unconsciously flared her wings at them, catching the attention of the two bullies.

"Oh look, she got some new wings." Diamond Tiara pointed out.

"What did you do? Glue them on?" Silver Spoon asked.

A cocky smirk appeared on Scootaloo's face, and with another powerful flap she was in the air again. She flew around the fillies heads again, this time throwing some tricks and stunts. Her flight also caught the attention of a few other fillies and colt around the school ground. She gave a cocky chuckle at the awestruck faces below her. Unfortunately the show came to a halt as the school bell rang.

"Scootaloo, get down here, class is about ta' start." Applebloom shouted in the air.

She came back down to the ground, seeing Diamond Tiaras and Silver Spoons mouths dropped. The two ponies quickly shook off the face and started back with the insults.

"Well you're still a blank flank and that's all you'll ever be you won't ever amount to anything like us." Diamond said posing.

The two started walking into the classroom while Scootaloo growled with anger. Her friends shared an uneas look at her, worried from what happened the previous day.

"Why? Just why can't we do anything to impress those girls!" Scootaloo yelled.

"Don't let them get to you. Its just what they want." Applebloom said putting a hoof on her friends shoulder.

Her two friends headed for the school house, gesturing for Scootaloo to follow them. Entering the building they found everypony already in their seats. All eyes went straight to Scootaloo, more specifically, her unusually large wings. Immediately the room was filled with whispers.

Wow, how did her wings get so big?

They're so pretty.

What did she put in her cereal this morning?

Scootaloo couldn't help give a prideful grin as she took her seat. Her anger disappeared at the complements the she heard. Her bad mood almost vanished until she heard an annoying familiar voice joined the whispers.

What a loser, thinking those wings of hers make her something special.

Her eyes locked on to the snobby pink pony in front of her.

"What did just say about me?" Scootaloo asked angrily, catching Diamond Tiara's attention.

"Why would I be talking about you, blank flank?" She retorted, turning away from Scootaloo.

Why would she think I would waste my breath talking about her.

Scootaloo growled in anger, staring at the back of Diamond Tiara's head, as if she could drill holes into it by staring hard enough. All the sudden Diamond Tiara fell forward over her desk, face planting the ground. Scootaloo reeled from a sudden pain resonating through her skull.

Diamond Tiara got up immediately after falling and rushed back to her seat, hoping that nopony had seen her. Unfortunately for her everypony but Cheerilee saw and the entire class giggled. This drew the teachers attention.

"What's so funn- Scootaloo, are you alright?" Ms. Cheerilee asked, noticing the filly holding her head in her hooves.

"Uh, yeah." Scootlaoo said lifting her head and putting her hooves down.

"Alright," Ms. Cheerilee said, "Ok class, today we are going to be reviewing the rules of grammar. Now can anypony tell me..."

With that class began and Scootaloo attempted to pay attention, but she couldn't focus, all she could think of was how hard her head was pounding and the mixed emotions flowing through her body.

But not all of them felt like hers.

Impressions.

The time slowly crawled by all day while Ms. Cheerilee reviewed lessons from weeks ago. Scootlaoo sat at her desk looking at the clock waiting for the school day to end. *Tick tock, tick tock* "Cant this clock go any faster, I need to fly!" Scootaloo thought to herself. It wasn't too long till her head ache went vanished, but the a weird feeling was still brewing inside her.

The bell finally rang and Scootaloo was the first to be outside.

"Hi Applebloom, hi Sweetie Belle. Bye Applebloom, bye Sweetie Belle!" Scootaloo yelled while flying out the door.

Applebloom and Sweetie belle looked at each other confused for a second, but soon realized she was probably going to go see Rainbow Dash.

Scootaloo flew as fast as she could. She had never felt this much freedom in the sky before, the wind flowing through her mane was much different than from being on the her scooter. Being that far up in the sky, moving that fast was unbelievable. Never had she been this high up on her own before, she was looking in awe at how far the town was below her. But while she was looking down, she didn't notice the large cloud resting in front of her. She flew right through it, the water droplets temporarily blinding her. Her free feelings suddenly came to an end as she panicked, quickly she spun out of control before crashing into the arms (?) of another Pegasus.

"What that huh?"

"Sorry!" Scootaloo said looking up to see who she had bumped into.

"Hey Scoots! I didn't know you could fly that fast. You got some pretty cool new wings."

"Rainbow Dash! Sorry I bumped into you..." Scootaloo said

"Hey no problem." Rainbow said as she wiped the dirt of her. "So how about those flying lessons?"

"Really?" Scootaloo asked shockingly

"You bet! I did say I would teach you sometime this week right?" Dash said with a smile.

Scootaloo's smile grew and she followed her idol Rainbow Dash into the large field they use for practice.

"Alright what have we learned." Rainbow dash said passing back and forth.

Scootaloo lift off into the clouds above them and began pulling off tricks before Dash could even begin. Rainbow Dash looked up and watch the orange filly for a while before opening her wings taking off, the dirt blowing around in a miniature tornado behind her.

"Wow Scoot, how did you get so good all the sudden?!" Rainbow asked catching up to the filly.

"I don't know, a good nights rest?" She said trying to gain more speed.

Rainbow Dash gave Scootaloo a smirk and sped up trying to pass the filly. The two went at it for hours racing back and fourth with each other, and putting wholes in the cloud.

"Okay Scoots, let me show you some real flying!" Rainbow said as she launch up into the air showing off the moves she had been practicing to impress the Wonderbolts.

Scootaloo watch as her idol was doing tricks she had been dreaming of doing. Scootaloo looked back at her new wings, and looked at Rainbow Dash.

Scootaloo launch into the air attempting to preforming a double looptiloop and a barrel quickly following, before she got to finish her attempt Rainbow went after her.

"Scoots no! These are highly advanced tricks!"

Scootaloo didn't listen and kept flying and, she made it to the end of the second loop and she couldn't balance out.

"Aaaaahhh!"

Wham! She slammed right into a tree, and fell to the ground. Rainbow Dash quickly flew to her side.

"Scootaloo! Are you alright?!" Rainbow said with concern.

Scootaloo jumped up in embarrassment.

"I told you not to try those tricks, I have been practicing them my whole life, and you just learned to fly!" Rainbow shouted.

"Oh so what you don't think I could do those tricks, I'm not good enough?!" Scootaloo shouted back.

"Well Scoot I just mea-" Rainbow said getting cut off.

"Well maybe i don't need a trainer anymore, maybe I'm better than you!" Scootaloo yelled flying away.

Rainbow Dash just stood there starring at the filly flying away. She drooped her ears down and starting flying home mummbling to herself concerning Scootaloo to.

"Maybe I was a bit to hard on the kid... she's never snapped at me like that."

~~~

Scootaloo was charging through the sky with tears streaming down her face.

Even when I can fly I'm not good enough for Rainbow, I'm not good enough for anypony! She thought to herself.

She flew to the top a cliff and just sat at the very tip of it where nopony could hear her scream, and she did scream until her throat could no longer make a sound. "Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" while breathing heavily she looked out at the horizon and cold no longer see the sun it had gotten very late.

"Guess I should head home... if that's what you could call it."

Scootaloo went back to the Orphanage, put her scooter back in her bush, and walked inside. Mrs. Boflinger was sitting in her chair waiting for Scootaloo's return. Noticing her injuries she quickly rushed the the fillies aid, but she pushed her hoof away, and went to her room without a single word.

She trotted over to her bed and jumped on it beginning to cry under her pillow. Mrs. Boflinger came and knocked on the door, there was no answer, so she knocked a second time.

"What do you want?" Scootaloo replied.

Mrs. Boflinger walked in.

"Scootaloo are you alright?" Bolfinger asked.

"Whats it to you?"

"I care about you Scootaloo." Boflinger replied putting her hoof on her.

"Yeah whatever." Scootaloo replied while rolling over.

"If you ever need anything I'm here for you."

"Please just leave me alone." Scootaloo said sticking her head under the pillow.

Not wanting to make things worse for the orange filly Mrs. Boflinger frowned and walked out of the room.

Scootaloo just sat in her room continuing to cry until she fell asleep of exhaustion.

Scootaloo why do you try so hard to impress those who don't care?

Scootaloo heard the voice clearly, but ignored it thinking it was only a dream. Yet the clear words that were spoken lingered in her head, looping over and over.

"Why impress those who don't care..." Scootaloo said rolling around in her sleep.

Show me what you can do.
