'Stay here," Scootaloo instructed. Pretty Penny frowns, worry evident in her features. "I'll go out, if they catch me with you, they'll hurt you too. Stay on the line with them, I'll be right back."
"S-Scootaloo please---"I tried reasoning. "They won't...they'll hurt you!" I begged her to reconsider. Scootaloo handed the device over to Pretty Penny before kissing the top of her forehead.
"Mama, please don't--"Scootaloo gave her a soft smile an rubbed her head. "Mommy?"
"Your starting to sound like Apple Bloom." She turned away, chuckling for a moment. "I can't stay here, they'll notice her again. Besides, they won't let me unshackled again. Besides, I can't let them break a Pinkie Promise now can I? I promise, Mommy'll be back. Don't you worry." I heard a few clopping sounds from her as she left and only Pretty stayed there. She fumbled for a moment-her hooves being bare made everything much harder.
"I hope Mama's okay..." She looked genuinely worried.
"So, your Pretty Penny, right?" Sweetie Belle asked, I glance at her. What was she getting at? "Can you tell us anything? Anything you'd like."
'You made a deal, didn't you Laughing?' It growled towards whatever it was directed at. 'You brought her here, she has no reason to be here!' Pretty made a face hearing her 'mother's' words. She fidgets again before Sweetie directs her attention to her.
'Deals can break if your not specific,' A growl was heard after that. 'Besides, we don't take orders from you. Remember our little discussion from earlier?'
'No, enlighten me, Miss Gas.' A growl followed a kicking sound filled from where they were.
"Come, tell us everything you want to. Anything would do," Sweetie's voice was soft and calm as she kept a smile on. "We heard a few things from Scootaloo, but we never heard from you yet. Mind if you tell?" Pretty Penny tilted her head and sat on the dog bed before she started.
"But I don't know much," She said, looking down. "I only know what Mama tells me. Is it true?" Her eyes glisten brightly. She almost looked adorable-almost.
'Get the buck off me!' Laughing smirked as she grabbed something-the chains. She tried choking her but Scootaloo refused it. Diamond backed away from the scene, her eyes widening in shock.
"What did she tell you?" My ears flicker as I heard a clunking sound. Pretty was about to jump up but Sweetie Belle caught her."She won't like it if you intervene, ignore everything. Just talk to me. Tell me what she told you." Pretty was debating for a moment before she used her horn and created something parallell. She was wanting us to see. but still have the one she had able to let us see her too, just in case she had to close the other. Smart Cookie.
"She told me about night. She says its beautiful," She smiles a little. "I never seen night and day before, she says its amazing." I look to the other side.
'You won't hurt anypony, I said I won't allow it.' Scootaloo stood her ground, standing in front of Diamond Tiara. There was Laughing Gas leaning to the side where she kicked.
"Sc..Scootaloo..?" Diamond's voice wavers from shock. The pregnant mare stood boldly in front, defying everything. I couldn't sense why Diamond didn't save herself-she was strong for a pony of her nature.
"Did she tell you what ponies do during that?" Sweetie Belle asked to keep Pretty from seeing the sight. I wasn't caring about the two for the moment as I laid eyes on Scootaloo. Laughing laughed before she stood up, slamming her hooves into her muzzle, slamming her down. She grabbed Laughing and tossed her aside before Demi was plinked in
'She told me lots of ponies plant gardens-even though I don't know what a garden is.She even told me about a town with so many adventures. I wouldn't mind seeing it.'
"Let me at THAT WHORSE OF A MARE!" Demi held Laughing back before Scootaloo felt the brunt. "Why are you stopping me?"
"Your getting out of hand, we make deals, we keep them." Demi replied. "Besides, she shows no satisfactory criteria. I don't find her useful.Not even for mindless arousal."
'Is that all she told you?' Sweetie Belle asked Pretty. She paused and smiled.
'Nope, not at all!' She replied. 'She told me about the princesses. Mommy sang me a lullaby too about them.'
"Did you not just see what she had done?" She yelled out. "She bucked me in the face!" Demi chuckled at that.
"When the burnout is done, the results are yours." Demi responds. "For right now, clean the mistake. Its not like you can take her back now. Her dad's richer than I, I can't block his authority." Laughing Gas pushed herself out her grasp.
"No, you've defended her long enough. I don't care whether he'll do so. I shall teach that whorse that WE are the MASTERS, that she is the victim!" Laughing charged at her in fury, her head ducked as she tackled. Scootaloo braced for it, waiting for impact until she slammed into her, landing a few feet away on top. Laughing shoved, trying to stop her barge. From her side, she pulled out a scalpel. She jabbed her in the arm, prying it in. Scootaloo shrieked and pushed the scalpel away, taking it in her mouth before it hit her throat by mistake. She repeatedly hits the mask, cracking it.
"LAUGHING!" Demi quickly screamed, pulling Scootaloo off. With one last attempt, she kicked the mask. The mask shattered under the kick. The force was enough t show the identity. Diamond walked towards the pony in question. Her blue eyes widen and go blank as tears trickled down her pink cheeks.
"Silver Spoon, why are you doing this? What have you become?"
