I'm always here for you
What do when you can't fix a problem?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterScootaloo sat quietly in her desk. Slowly she let her head rest on the top of the desk. Her eyes began to feel heavy. She was about to fall asleep, but a voice startled her back into reality.
"SCOOTALOO!" the voice said.
"Huh...?" Scootaloo said lifting her head up slowly.
"What do you think your doing?" Cheerily asked.
"I'm-" Scootaloo paused, "Never mind."
Cheerily rolled her eyes, "I'll speak with you after class," she said.
Scootaloo gave a slow nod. Great... she thought, just what I needed. Slowly timed ticked by. Sometime later school was over. Scootaloo looked behind her to see Rumble starting to gather up his stuff. She remained where she was. Rumble gathered up all his stuff and walk towards Scootaloo and whispered, "I'll be outside."
Scootaloo nodded. Once everybody was out of the classroom she heard Cheerily speak, "Scootaloo, come here."
"Yes ma'ma."
"Now, tell me what's wrong?" Cheerily asked.
"Nothing," Scootaloo responded.
Cheerily gave a long stare and waited for Scootaloo for to talk. She didn't. "Very well," Cheerily said, "you may go."
With that Scootaloo stared walking towards the door and about bumped into Rumble who was waiting.
"Dammit, sorry Rumble," She said.
"It's okay," came Rumble's response, "We should get going."
Scootaloo gave a slow nod and began to follow Rumble to where ever they were going. Slowly Rumble and Scoots arrived at the park where so much has happened. "Here we are," Rumble said aloud.
"I guess."
"You guess?"
"Yes, Rumble I guess."
Rumble rolled his eyes, "Clearly."
Scootaloo went and sat down next the same tree she always has. Slowly she relaxed and closed her eyes.
"Try not to fall asleep," came Rumble's voice.
"No promises," She replied.
Scootaloo opened one eye. A hoof just touched her. Slowly she looked up to she Rumble looking over her. "It's getting late," Rumble said, "you should probably get home."
"Yeah," Scootaloo said, "You right.
She slowly started to get up. As she was walking she notice Rumble start to follow her. "Rumble?"
"Yes?"
"Could just head home?"
"Are you sure."
"Rumble, I'll be fine."
Rumble gave a slow nod. "Right," and he turned around and headed in the opposite direction.
Scootaloo sighed. He actually did it, she thought, He let me walk home alone. She gave a small smile. Soon here house was a few yards away. Then something that she figure would happen, happened. Here mom came out.
"Hey Scoots."
Scootaloo sighed, "Hey mom."
Her mom didn't have a knife or a weapon which worried Scoots. Her mom slowly gazed up at her.
"Scootaloo," her mom said, "What do you do when you can't fix a problem?"
"You um...." Scootaloo remained silent.
Her mom gave a smile, "You get rid of it."
Scootaloo's blood ran cold, "So your gonna kill me?"
"Oh, no... I have a new target," her mom said, "but don't worry I will get to you."
Scootaloo gulped, "Who's this target?"
Her mom started to laugh, "you know him," she said simply then she started to walk away.
Scootaloo made a run for her house and didn't stop until she got to her door. Once their she ran into her room and locket the door. Slowly she started to think about what she said. She couldn't have meant... Scootaloo shook her head, No she couldn't
Slowly she began to close her eyes and she fell asleep, somehow. Unaware of who her mom was after... and why....
