Why me....

Scootaloo shot straight up. Painting heavily and in a cold sweat. These damn dreams.... She glanced at her clock. School in an hour... She thought as she crawled out of bed. She made and ate her breakfast, Grabbed her settle bag, and head out the door. I got twenty minutes to kill. She thought. I'll just ride around town I guess. And with that she went full speed to town.

Scootaloo soon found her near Fluttershy's cottage. Damn, I traveled this far? She thought.

"Hey Scootaloo. Why are you here?" Came a voice from behind

Scootaloo jumped. "Oh, hey Fluttershy." She spoke.

"Why are you here?" Fluttershy repeated.

"Um... I got up early and decided to ride around." Scootaloo said.

"Oh."

"Yeah, anyways I should get going. Bye Fluttershy."

"Good-bye!"

Soon Scootaloo found herself at her school. Twenty minutes... She thought. I guess... I'll just ride around the school for  a bit. Soon school was about to start. She stopped at the front of the school house. And today begins. She started to walk into the school when she heard a voice.

"SCOOTALOO."

Scootaloo turned around to be greeted by Sweetie Belle. "Oh Hey Sweetie Belle. Wheres Apple Bloom?"

"She's sick."

"Oh." Scootaloo frowned.

"Hey I'm here." Sweetie Belle spoke angrily.

"I know, but its still sad that Apple Bloom isn't here." Scootaloo spoke softly.

"Yeah, but We'll pull through. Right?"

"Right."

"Alright let's go," Sweetie Belle said, "I wanna talk to you about.... Stuff."

Scootaloo swallowed nervously. Did Rumble tell sweetie? Soon Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle soon found themselves alone.

"Alright Scootaloo."

"Yeah?"

"Whose this colt you been with lately?"

Scootaloo cheeks started to go red. "He's.... Um..... Rumble...."

"So you like him?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"NO!" Scootaloo barked.

"Really, cause your cheeks say otherwise."

Scootaloo turned a brighter shade of red. "I said no."

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. "What ever you say Scoots."

"Just leave me alone!" Scootaloo growled.

"Okay okay, Jezz don't get so worked up." Sweetie Belle retorted.

Scootaloo walked to the classroom.

"Hey Scoots." Came Rumble's voice.

Scootaloo sighed. "Hey Rumble."

"Something wrong Scoots?"

"Just my friends being the curious and teasy selfs."

"Okay?" Rumble said.

"Its a long story..." Scootaloo responded.

"I got plenty of time." Rumble said.

"Later."

"Come on Scoots just tell me."

"I said later." Scootaloo growled.

"Okay, okay."

"Well I'm going to class."

"Good idea Scoots."

Scootaloo piled out of the school. Must. Not. Tell. Rumble. Scootaloo thought. She hoped on her Scooter and tore towards the city. Once she felt safe she stopped. That was-

"Nice try!" Rumble said.

"Dammit..."

"Alright Scootaloo talk."

And Scootaloo did. She explained how Sweetie Belle was teasing about her hang out with Rumble. How she was being so curious, And all that.

"Oh." Rumble got a nervous look on his face, "Is that so?"

"Yes..." Scootaloo said.

"Um... I'm sorry?" Rumble turned away from scootaloo.

"No need to be sorry for me Rumble." Scootaloo said moving a little closer to Rumble. Rumble didn't move.

"You okay Rumble?"

"Im fine Scoots." Rumble turned his gaze back to Scootaloo. "You just seemed upset about it."

"I'm not." Protested Scootaloo.

"I know." Rumble said softly; taking a slow step towards Scootaloo. " I guess I just worry to much."

Scootaloo toke a step towards Rumble, "Rumble I will always be fine, well until I'm old and... you know.."

"Yeah I know Scoots."

"Good." Scootaloo said.

Rumble took anther step to Scootaloo. "Just don't make me regret this." Rumble whispered.

"I won't." Scootaloo said.

Scootaloo realized how close Rumble was to her. "I promise."

Rumble got a worried look on his face. His gaze shifted between scootaloo and the floor. After a few moments he gazed back up at scootaloo. He gently nuzzled Scootaloo.
