Scootaloo's Hero

Before she knew how to talk, Scootaloo was thrust into the world she saw now- the strict walls of an orphanage. She couldn't remember how her parents looked, why they had abandoned her, or even what their names were. Perhaps it was for the best. All she saw today were small rooms packed with fillies and colts. Occasionally, there would be older ponies that hadn't been adopted yet. She felt sorry for them. Today was different though.

  Today was the day that Scootaloo had anticipated all month. She would be able to escape the orphanage, that she called home. Rainbow Dash had offered to look after her for a few days. She would be permitted to leave her prison, and be with the one she looked up to. To kick it all of, Rainbow had promised Scootaloo to let her watch as she practiced all of her stunts. To Rainbow, it meant nothing more than a flying session, but to Scootaloo it meant excitement beyond her wildest dreams.

  The hardest part of it all, was waiting for Rainbow Dash to arrive. The long hours, ticked away slowly. The hands of the clock crawled slower than Rainbow's pet turtle, Tank.

  "Scootaloo! There's a visitor here for you!" There was a chirpy receptionist, who was never very happy. She wouldn't show her emotions through her voice though. Scootaloo ran out towards the lobby.

  "Hey squirt! Are you ready to go? Just wait outside for now." Rainbow Dash greeted her with a smile. After Scootaloo left the building, Rainbow Dash spoke up again. "I'd like to spend a little extra time with her. Just give me some time to see how it goes."

   "Sure thing!" She replied, holding out her hoof expectantly. Rainbow handed a roll of coins to the receptionist, and walked out with Scootaloo. This week would be one of the best weeks in Scootaloo's life.
