"W-What have you done to Diamond Tiara?!" Scootaloo backed off when whatever Diamond was now tried pouncing. She was growling as she squats down, her eyes focused on her like she was a dog treat.

"Y-You made her some kind---" Sweetie Belle was soon cut off. Her body standing still in shock, her eyes never once leaving Diamond's form.

"Nothing at all, dear. I just made my other beautiful creation a partner," Pirouette's voice was smooth with cold undertones. She smirked at Scootaloo's difficulty at standing before proceeding. "You should know her, sweetie." Diamond 'barked' at the notion of knowing her. Scootaloo flinched but never backed down.

"Wasn't she that filly you saw?" Pirouette mocked, cupping Diamond's face as she rubbed her with mock affection in a dog style.

"I knew you'd do something like that," Scootaloo huffed at her, glaring with such hatred that made even us back off, she ignored the question completely. The mare in question hadn't cared-she showed amusement at the idea. So much so, she erupted in laughter, knowing more than she let on."You never were the one to stay there quietly, your more of the jealous type, now aren't you?" Pirouette seemed to give this thought, she tapped her chin then answered back as her laughter ended.

"No, why would I be jealous?" Pirouette's voice was fast paced. I don't believe her. Scootaloo narrowed her eyes. "Oh, phooy on what you believe! I am a proper mare-surely anypony can see that." Proper?

" "Proper's" not the right word for you," I coughed out. She gave me a quick glare in retaliation. "Fillyphile sounds much more appropriate, rapist too. Much better than the term 'proper'. Don't you think so Scootaloo?" Scootaloo giggled at my antics before Pirouette made her straighten up. Diamond barked at her, her teeth curved in a snarl before Pirouette made her point. She backed off quickly, her eyes never leaving Diamond's fearsome ones. I rushed to her side-Scootaloo didn't appear to see me or didn't care, her eyes were fixated straight at her.

"That was only a taste, sweetie." Pirouette's voice turned to a colder, rougher one. "Such a foalish thing for you to think. Besides, don't think that I know what you can do. You shown your force much earlier on, remember?" From behind her mask, I felt a smirk coming off her.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sweetie Belle's stupor was gone when my eyes landed on her.

"What are you implying there?" Scootaloo's words were carefully woven into a sentence, her eyes narrowing once more at Pirouette. Pirouette giggled at her.

"Ah, such innocence. You forget quite a bit, don't you?" She teased. "You have terrible memory, never had that before. I wonder what made you that way."

"Quit it already." Pirouette gave a coy smile.

"Oh, I should quit it?" She challenged Sweetie Belle this time, I can sense a smirk. "Well then, why don't you tell me why then, Scootsie?" Her eyes widen at whatever thought crossed her mind.

"Don't you DARE bring that up!" Her daughter's voice strained as she screamed. She shook as I held her back. "You promised-YOU MADE A PROMISE THAT YOU'D NEVER BRING THAT UP AGAIN-SOMETHING THAT EVEN YOU WOULDN'T SINK SO LOW TO CONFESS!" Pirouette waved her off coldly. My body shook-Pirouette's sick.

"Aw, did I promise that?" Pirouette said playing 'innocent'. "Promises are like apple pie crusts (hardy har har, Pirouette) that are made to be broken. So deliciously evil ones particularly, don't you think?"

"What's this method to your madness, on with it."

"My my, dear Apple Blossom, aren't you very quick to get onto things?" She mocked. "Did you forget our fun, Scatenata? Remember all those days before you had that...ugly mane? Those were the days, were they not?" She reached out, grabbing her with her magic, the magic brushing from between her legs to the top of her chin, almost reminiscent to Nightmare Moon's ability when she had done the same with Twilight. Diamond made sure she can't get close to Pirouette.

"Rot in Tarturus." Scootaloo replied bitterly. Pirouette giggled again at her.

"She didn't always have that mane, but you knew that, of course~" Pirouette tried again, touching there again before halting. "Who was that annoying pony again-Pinkamina? She didn't have that mane, last time I checked."

"Bullshit!" I called out. "Didn't know her until that party!" Pirouette snickered at this attempt.

"Oh, is that what you think? I pity you, really, I do," She insisted, her smirk growing by the minute. "Didn't you see how easy to buck her brains out? Or, did you and that...what was that client..?" Pirouette mused on.

"Your calling it easy now?" Scootaloo mouthed at her mother before backing off and much farther than me, tears springing forth from her being.

"She was never easy." I answer simply, my voice dropping. "If your implying that, your sadly mistaken."

"Of course it was easy!" She ignored our answers before she gave her own. "I made her my submissive little girl~ Ah, her first mounting wasn't pleasant at all-Sleek was all together too rough, she didn't like it, not to say she ever liked it. Too dumb to realize what his love was like, foolish isn't it?" Scootaloo froze, tense as her eyes widen, her ears dropped down. Why didn't I ever hear of this 'Sleek?'

"I didn't trust him-you thought I did.." Scootaloo's voice shook, terrible come back. She flinched at herself. "I for one, didn't. I was just..scared..that was all!" Her defense needs to be worked on.

"Who the buck is Sleek?" Why did I sound so harsh? She never cheated on me, there's no betrayal, but I sounded like there was. I turned to Scootaloo, scanning her for an answer. "Who is Sleek?"

"A pony that she loved dearly~" Pirouette antagonized. "He was so rough, she cried for the duration. Pleased him in every way she could, she loved him after all. Though, he wasn't me, therefore after she was able to produce, I didn't (and don't) allow him in on certain days. Looks like you mounted her on her heat cycle though, don't celebrate. Those burnouts are surely not worth the trouble you'll get yourself into." The magic touched the baby bump Scootaloo sported before retreating. She hadn't answered me-she had that stare from earlier. Sweetie Belle, however, was quick to defend Scootaloo as she couldn't answer.

"Apple Bloom, don't believe her lies!" Sweetie Belle defended. "You know she's nothing but a liar! You know that better than anypony here."

"Who.is.Sleek?" I didn't allow anypony to sway me. "Who the buck is Sleek? I-I could have done somethi-"

"His name's Sleek Finish..." Scootaloo finally answered. "Don't bring that up..please..." She wavered, her hair slowly falling flatter and flatter, deflating from the spikes. Pirouette laughed at our disagreement before turning away, waving off.

"I'll let you two bicker on. Dazzle here will surely do to you as she sees fit." Pirouette mocked before she tossed something into Diamond's mouth, causing her to freak and go into a crazy mode that only animals could do. She stayed tight where she was, laying down and staring at us. I ignore this-Diamond would just stare anyway.

I shouldn't press her again, she'll never trust me again after I promised not. I frown to myself mentally. She started it, she was with this Sleek guy and wouldn't even tell me who he is! No-I can't start another argument like that. It wasn't like we met during the time, so it didn't count..right.? My voice pressed forward, my head on overdrive like I had no control.

"Well, you can trust me, can't you?" My voice dripped with anger and betrayal. "Why didn't you-I can't believe-"

"I never would cheat on you, I promised you that much, didn't you hear me when we first went at it?" Scootaloo instantly perked and snapped back, growling. "Or were you too busy bucking Dinky to really know what loyalty is? Are you already doubting me by what SHE says?" I don't flinch at the words. Why the buck does my voice screw things up? I can't even begin-

"I didn't buck Dinky through everything!" She rolled her eyes at my excuse. "That was a ONE night thing-you should know that, your great with one night acts, aren't you?" She flinches at me, I hit a soft spot in her armor. Instantly, she teared up, forcing herself away from me and made me regret my words.Why did I even say them? I didn't even want to say that! Why can't I just shut my own trap?

"I never loved him like that.." Her words trailed off before she flopped herself onto the ground, breaking down. Within minutes, she spoke again, like before with such an innocent child like voice I wouldn't picture on her. I would picture it more on Fluttershy of all ponies. "Isn't that how ponies showed they cared for one another? Mama always taught me that, we always had done that-I loved Sleek because he was my cousin and that's how you showed a pony that you loved them. I didn't love him, but Mama would always try to get me to show my love for him.." Her mane fell flat, the bun absent after the mane fell. It draped over her eye in dull curls, something similar suit to Pirouette's.

"She always told me that's how you showed ponies that you loved them, bu-but that's not how others did it!" She backed away, crawling away from me. "..but I really loved Mama...and believed her...because she was my m-m-m-mommy.." I tried to inch closer to her, but she refused to let me do so.

"Don't touch me."

"S-Scootaloo?" I try breaking her from what she had done previously, she was very dull in color by now. "Scootaloo, please-I over reacted, I'm so sorry. I didn't k-"

"LIAR!" She barked, screaming as Pretty trotted her to her. Pretty and Sweetie were the only ponies allowed near her, seeing that Pretty got very close to her, and the only thing she did was bring her closer. "That's what you ponies always say. 'I'm sorry I over' Bull. Come up with a better excuse. Also, the name's not Scootaloo, its Scatenata. Who gave you the idea my name's Scootaloo?" She curled up, lowering her guard with Pretty but still tense. Her eyes never left me.

"What kind of ponies are you referring to?" I question, moving closer before she kicked me. "You have good aim for a-"

"For a what? A whorse?"

"Sc-Scatenata, I made a promise to you, don't you see?" She didn't answer me, so I continued. "I made that promise, and its still open-"

"Ponies break promises, you seen what you've done. You broke a promise easily." She ignored me again before quite repeating. Her resolve was instant. "All you ponies are the same anyway. Trust is easily tossed around and just as easily shattered ain't it?" She circled around, getting up before instantly tackling me down.She wagged her tail dog like, ignoring all she had created, contradicting herself.

"But...but...." She frowned deeply. "I really..don't want to be alone...even when you break a promise.." She was conflicted between the two. What the buck..? What's gotten into her?

I sigh, helping her off. She didn't move much-her form still heavily depressed with such a strange...habit. She carried Penny in her mouth, backing off with such fear that I only saw a few times when Applejack happens to kill the cows when they lack milk. They had such a look of fear...so much so, I was never allowed to see that again. Her ears lowered as she stared at me.

"I'm..I'm sorry! I..didn't mean any of what I said!" She shook, her body hitting the bars until they snapped her back to the reality that Diamond was right there. She screamed before she backed off again. I whipped around to Sweetie Belle.

"We have to deal with Diamond mutt there, Scootenata and, above all, getting out of here. Any suggestions?" Sweetie rolled her eyes at my remark.

"To be specific, I think I know what's happening." Sweetie Belle cleared her throat before she clarified. "I read somewhere when I was studying under Nurse Redheart that under extreme circumstances, sometimes ponies block out certain memories and revert. Sometimes they retain memories mostly but have certain tidbits removed-like they weren't there. Think of Multiple Personalities but..on crack."

"Huh?"

"Scatenata is her old self that she repressed deeply and her memories were locked," Sweetie Belle sighs. "Scootaloo is the opposite. Imagine if you try to combine the two and both operate at the same time. It won't work, it just WON'T." I nod, understanding.

"How can we get either to cooperate?" Sweetie Belle shrugged. Great, no solution.

"We have to get her out of the state delicately," Sweetie concludes. "Pushing would break her and cause her to shutdown mentally." Why can't things ever go right? Scootenata looks so anxious in her corner.... she won't even glance my way...unless she's afraid. Why was water hitting me? Something streamed down my face.

"I-I'm crying.." I realized. "I..just..." I don't know what to do anymore. If it were anypony else, they would suddenly realize how to. Twilight would do something fast-she wouldn't have accidentally done what I have. Applejack wouldn't allow this, Rainbow Dash would be dead before she ended her chase...what can I do? I just made problems even worse! I wonder why I even bother.

"There, don't cry..." Sweetie cooed as I felt her wipe my cheek. "That'll do no good, will it?"

"What will do good?" I snap. "I just make things more complicated. I just..I RUINED SCOOTALOO. SHE'S BUCKING INSANE!" I heard her whimper in the corner before I hush myself quietly, apologizing to her immediately after.

"Now Apple-"

"No, 'Now Apple Bloom' , I'm tired of that." I frown deeply. "What can we do? Scootenata won't listen, we're stuck with Diamond Mutt--"

Diamond hops to standing position, snarling at a blast that came through. She charged, landing a hit on something. Just then, it ended mysteriously. She was whipped across the room and bolted down by her own arms in purple light before the cell opened quickly with light bursting in. Scatenata flinched at the light source. I forgot that she's been crammed without light. What just happened?

"Apple Bloom, round up Scootaloo. Hurry before they come back. We have to do this fast."
