Revenge is all that's left.

Chapter 1-New rival and target.

A young, orange filly named Scootaloo began to anxiously tap her hooves against the hard wood desk, causing a loud disruption throughout her class.

"Scootaloo." A well-known voice said to her, kindly.

"Yeah." Replied the orange filly, becoming more lost in her thoughts.

"Scootaloo. Please stop tapping your desk! It's interrupting the lesson."

'Hmm.' She snapped back in to reality. "Oh! Sorry." She began to flush a deep shade of red as giggles filled the entire classroom.

Cheerilee sighed deeply, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Alright class!" Cheerilee shouted. "Lets get back to work."

The lesson began and everybody's attention returned to the teacher.

Scootaloo sunk deeper and deeper in to her chair, hoping no pony would notice her for the rest of the day. The school bell had finally rang from what had seemed like eternity. The Pegasus' couldn't have been more than glad to leave, she didn't want anything else embarrassing to happen. She ran outdoors and fetched her scooter, her helmet on and secure. She hit the ground, pushing hard as she began to gain speed. Scootaloo went straight to  Ponyville's peaceful mountains to clear her mind.

Under the shade of a large cherry tree, Scootaloo felt at ease. She relaxed her body and lay flat against the grassy ground. The aroma of sweet smelling daisies and roses filled her nose. A shadow twice her size came in to view, she opened her eyes with a groan. A bright colored Pegasus was standing in front of her with a big toothy grin.

"Hey squirt." The cyan-colored pony smiled. "School's done?"

"Yep." She nodded cheerfully.

"Great! So want to hang out. Just the both of us." Rainbow dash suggested.

"Sure! Oh wait I forgot. Cheerilee assigned a project for us to do." Scootaloo said scratching the back of her head.

"Over the weekend?" Rainbow dash asked, her right eyebrow raising in confusion.

"Hey! Rainbow dash!" Her partner was calling her from a distance. "Your training isn't complete yet today!"

"Darn!" Muttered Rainbow dash annoyingly. "Well, I guess we always have tomorrow. Good luck with that project of yours." She yelled waving goodbye.

Scootaloo waved goodbye to her idol and returned her attention to the cloudy sky. Rain was beginning to pour down and the tree was doing a poor job at keeping her dry.She got up and hoped on her Scooter and kicked the ground harshly. She was slowing down because of a few rain puddles and mud.

She was zooming through town trying to get home as quickly as possible. When she heard somebody screaming at her. "Huh." She turned around and saw The Carrousel Boutique. Sweetie belle was standing at the door signaling Scootaloo to come in. She nodded and ran towards her friend, Sweetie belle shut the door and Scootaloo fell on the floor panting.

"Are you alright?" Sweetie belle asked. "You didn't catch a cold did you?"

"No. I'm fine." She replied.

"Phew! That's a relief!" Sweetie belle said with a grin. "SO while you're here want to work on the class project together."

Scootaloo nodded, it wasn't the best way to pass the time, but at least she wouldn't have to deal with it any more.

The two fillies began making clay models of what they thought the 'Old Equestria' looked like one thousand years ago. If anything was even around.

Sweetie belle build a clay model of some Earth ponies. Some wore very raggedy clothing made from random pieces of cloth that were being held together by only a few pieces of loose string. She was starting on making the environment. She made the clean rivers, healthy animals that produced products for daily use, and a few crops and trees.

Scootaloo wasn't nearly as creative, but she did have a pretty good idea from the 'Hearts Warmings Eves' play she and the Crusaders saw some time ago. She made clay figurings with three different clans sharing Equestria. The Pegasus clan with armor and shields were standing proudly on a cloud fortress creating thunder storms and different kinds of weather. Towards the South she had the Unicorn clan they wore robes and performed magic and traded among themselves. Down at the North was the Earth ponies, they were having a feast eating ripe apples, grapes, pears, and oranges. They also ate crops such as corn and vegetables that were successfully grown thanks to the Pegasi's whether.

She yawned and examined her work with tired eyes. "It's getting pretty late." Scootaloo said to Sweetie belle, who was putting her finishing touches on her master piece. "I think I should get going."

"Can't you sleepover?" Sweetie belle begged with large puppy dog eyes.

"My parents are going to be worried sick if I don't get back."

"Yeah. You're right." Sweetie belle said with a nod.

"Say hi to Rarity for me."

"I will!" Sweetie belle said with a smile.

The new routine took a while to get the hang of, but Rainbow dash had somehow manage to pull through. Even if her partner Soarin' was getting on her nerves. Now that her training was complete she could go home and rest up for tomorrow. "It's getting pretty dark." She said squinting her eyes so that they could properly adjust to the darkness of the town. "The rain was pouring crazy. But Soarin' didn't even stop, he's lucky he didn't damage his wings!" Her anger boiled over, but the scenery of the town seemed to calm her down.

"I'm just hoping Scootaloo isn't going home all alone at this hour. No way! She's probably just hanging with her friends." Rainbow dash said aloud. Is Scootaloo really alright? She needed to check up on her quick!

"Walking home alone at night. Pretty spooky if you ask me." Scootaloo whispered to herself smiling. "But I'm pretty tough. Just like Rainbow dash."

Huh?

Some loud footsteps were slowly approaching her from behind, turning around she noticed a Pegasus following her. She assumed it must have been Rainbow dash. "So sorry we couldn't hang out today Rainbow dash. I was a little busy with school work," Scootaloo turned around looking sympathetically at the pony, who only shuttered in reaction.

Huh? That was weird. "Rainbow dash are you alr-"

Before she could finish her question, the Pegasus had her hoof on Scootaloo's mouth and her other one wrapped tightly around her waist. "You must have some special bond with Rainbow dash." The foalnapper whispered into her ear, sending chills down her spine.

-

"Scootaloo!!" Yelled Rainbow dash. "Huh?"

Oh no! She saw a stranger holding Scootaloo. She was struggling to escape and was using all of her strength to pound the older pony. Rainbow dash came charging towards her, giving her jaw bone a nice hard kick, almost enough to break it. Unfortunately, she had survived the attack. Scootaloo fell to the ground, the hard impact against the ground harshly wounded her right wing.

"Hey. Scootaloo. Are you alright?" Asked Rainbow dash.

"Yeah. I think so." She said rubbing her wing. "But I think I injured my wing when I f-"

The pegasus came back real hard, punching Dash in her stomach, the blow catching her off guard. Rainbow dash laughed it off, but anybody could tell she was in horrible pain right now. Rainbow dash quickly got and pounded the Pegasus with all her strength.

"Hehe..." coughed the beaten Pegasus. "You're still the same. Still think you're better than me?" She said insultingly.

"Huh? Excuse me, but do I even know you?" Asked Rainbow dash raising her left brow.

"I guess even you can forget a face, but you can't forget a name. It's me. Lightning dust."

Memories, both good and bad returned, the quick memory gave her a headache. Rainbow dash fell on her knees, holding her head with her forehooves, grunting in pain. Lightning looked the same as she always did, only now she had scars and bruises. "You may have won this battle, but mark my words Dash. You have weak spot for that filly and  just like you took something important from me, I intend on doing the same to you." She said walking backwards into the shadows.

For a moment there was a long pause and no one said anything...

"I was really scared." mumbled Scootaloo. Rainbow dash wrapped a reassuring wing around the filly.

"Will she come back?" Scootaloo asked Rainbow dash.

"I have no idea, but don't you worry about anything! I'll make sure she doesn't come back!" She smiled bravely.

  The door to the library flew open. "What the BUCK is going on?" Twilight shouted out. Rainbow dash quickly covered Scootaloo's ears, the last thing Rainbow dash needed was Scootaloo's teacher telling her about some new choices of vocabulary.

"What happened to your face!" Twilight shrieked pointing at the bruises and cuts Lightning dust had left behind.

"Me and a Pegasus got in a fight." She said honestly.

"Oh. Well, ok then." Twilight said rolling her eyes.

"Look, Twilight. Scootaloo was attacked by a Pegasus." Rainbow dash said.

Twilight nodded. "Do you know what she looks like?"

"Yeah." Rainbow dash said, nodding.

"Really! Great that could come in handy! SO what's she look like?" Said Twilight grabbing a pad of paper and a feather pen.

"It's Lightning dust."

  Her pad of paper and feather pen fell out of her levitational grasp and she started to ponder quietly to herself. After a long discussion later Twilight and Rainbow dash decided that Scootaloo would be staying with Twilight for the time being, until things were settle with Lightning dust. Rainbow dash gave Scootaloo a big hug before Twilight locked up. Rainbow dash ruffled Scootaloo's messy mane and smiled. "Don't worry as soon as I find Lightning dust everything will go back to normal."

"You promise." Scootaloo asked.

"Um hmm." Rainbow dash said embracing the little filly. "Yeah. I promise."
