I'm always here for you

Scootaloo awoke. It was the weekend. God dammit, she thought, What am I suppose to do?

All she could really think about right now was her strange encounter with her mom a few days ago. Slowly, but surely she made her way out of bed and into the outside.

"Scoots?"

Scootaloo turned her head  to see Sweetie Belle looking at her. "Yes?"

"What are you doing up so early?"

"I-" Scootaloo looked up towards the sky and realized that the sun was just starting to rise. "I'm just going to go for a ride... on my Scooter.... Yeah..."

"Alright, let me ask that question again," Sweetie said annoyed, "What are you doing up so early?"

Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "I'm not in the mood Sweetie."

Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to protest, but, slowly she closed it. Letting out a sigh she gave a small nod. "Very well." And with that she stalked off into the distance.

Scootaloo waited for Sweetie to leave her vision before she hopped on her scooter, Now... Where to go? Where to go? she thought as scanned the area around her. With a small shrug she set off into the direction of town. Unaware of a set of eyes watching her in the distance.

Rumble slowly stocked down stares. Slowly he made he made his way down stairs and of course wished he could just curl back into a ball and sleep. He stopped at the stair case by his brother. "What do you want Thunderlane?" Rumble said disinterested.

"You're not staying in this house today," Thunderlane said getting straight to the point.

"Is that so?" Rumble replied with a bit of challenge in his voice.

His brother gave him an annoyed look, "You're going outside and doing something, anything," he said flatly.

"That's not ha-" Rumble was interrupted by his pushing out the door. Rumble fought back, but to no avail. Rumble was forced out the door which was shut and locked behind him.

"FUCK YOU TOO!" Rumble said, before spreading his wings and shooting into the sky leaving his house in his wake.

Rumble gazed annoyed at the ground. Scanning it for anything, anything to do at all. With a loud angry sigh he flopped into a cloud giving up hope to find anything to do. Slowly he crawled up. This is bullshit, he thought glaring at the cloud. He needed to hit something so he did. Next thing he knew there was a big hole through the cloud.

"Hey!"

Rumble gazed down to the ground. He realized he let a portion of the cloud disperse over Scootaloo, "Sorry!" He shouted back.

"Sorry doesn't dry me," Scootaloo said flatly.

Rumble slowly flew down and landed next to Scootaloo. "How can I help?"

"You can start by making sure no one is under a cloud when you break it," Scootaloo grumbled.

Rumble avert his gaze to the sky, "Hey, Scoots?"

"Yeah?" she responded starting to shake that water off her body.

"Why are you up so early?" Rumble asked turning his gaze back to Scootaloo.

"I can ask you the same question." Scootaloo said.

"My brother kicked me out," Rumble said flatly.

"Serves you right," Scootaloo said, "Next time don't get me wet."

"I said I was sorry," Rumble said sadly.

Scootaloo rolled her eyes, "Hey Rumble wanna hang out?" she said trying to change the subject.

Rumble eyes perked up, "Sure, why the hell not."

After a what felt like an hour their day together came to a close. All they really did was talk. Scoot's tackled him for making a joke that as aimed at her. But other than that nothing too exciting or shocking happened.

"Yeah, you right, Rumble," Scootaloo said looking skywards, "I should probably head home."

Slowly Scoots got up from where she was sitting and started to head for home. She was only left the park when something pressed against her shoulder and a voice that sounded frighted and urgent said "OHMYGOSH!" Scootaloo jumped and let out a startled yelp.

Rumble laughed all the while. "Oh, that was to easy," he said wiping a tear from his eye.

"YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Scootaloo screamed jumping at him.

Rumble for once let Scootaloo tackle him to the ground, "Okay you caught me," Rumble said, "Now what are going to d o?" Rumble challenged smirking.

Scootaloo pulled her hoof back, but stop. Slowly Scootaloo got off his back. "Giving up already?" Rumble teased.

"...."

"You okay Scoots?"

"She's fine, but you won't," came a voice.

Rumble knew this. He looked at Scoots. She was froze, She's that frighted of-  Rumble turned around and realized that their was a knife just inches away from his neck and in the mare's other hoof was a sack or pillow case of sorts.

Rumble let out a scream of terror.

Scootaloo recovered from her frozen state in time to see Rumble throw into the sack. "STOP!" Scootaloo screamed jumping towards her mom. It was a bad idea Scootaloo's mom easily threw Scootaloo to the ground.

Scootaloo's vision began to swam. Slowly black circles formed in her vision. Her mom smirked. Slowly the the black circles became bigger and slowly engulfed her. That last thing she managed to say was, "NO!"
