The sun shines bright (REWRITTEN)

Scootaloo opened her eyes to a blinding light. Camping was no fun. Rainbow dash was so busy with the incidents happening around Equestria that she had forgotten about the little filly-sized shadow

that copied her every move. "Who needs RD anyway?" she muttered. "I could get somepony better. I wonder if LUNA will be my idol. Ooh, maybe a wonderbolt!"

The silence of the forest was unnerving. RD had left to get firewood hours ago - according to AJ, she hadn't returned since night fell. Anypony unidentified and alone at night was put in court.

Scootaloo hoped that wasn't the case. Suddenly, the sound of a burp from outside startled scootaloo. She suddenly remembered - Twilight and Spike were there too. A gasp startled her for the second

time, so she dragged herself sleepily from her soaking-wet tent, sweat sticking her mane to her back. "T...Twilight? What is it?"

Twilight was silent for a few minutes. Then she spilled the beans. "Rainbow Dash has been banished to the sun, after being accused of murder by an unknown stallion."

Scootaloo's eyes grew wide, in shock, then anger, then sadness. Her eyes flooded with tears. "When will she.... come back?"

Twilight's eyes welled up. "In about a week, sweetie." Scootaloo sobbed silently. Her thoughts came back again. What if she NEEDED a new idol? Rainbow Dash might never return!

Scootaloo turned her head away. "I'm going for a walk." She gulped, before walking further into the everfree forest.

Now she was bored.... AND lonely.

Sobbing, she stumbled tiredly into the forest, finding a clearing behind a bush and thinking to herself. Why did this happen to her? Rainbow dash was an ELEMENT OF HARMONY, why wouldn't the pony recognise her? Choking on her tears, she began to cry, not hearing the hoofsteps of a certain wonderbolt coming closer and closer.
