Crusaders Forever (Unedited)

Scootaloo bent her knees ready to take flight. Rainbow had a coaches whistle in her mouth ready to blow.

"READY! GET SET! FLY!" Scootaloo took a running start as she leaped herself in to the air, she hovered above the ground for a few seconds before losing control. She went in to a nose dive and hit the ground hard.

"Squirt, you alright?" Scootaloo didn't hear her as she groggily sat up, her muzzle was bleeding from the impact of the dirt.

There was a slight pause before she answered. "Y-Yeah I'm great lets just go again." Scootaloo was stuttering as she saw more then one Rainbow Dash trotting towards her. Scootaloo held her head with a hoof as a massive headache started setting in.

Rainbow was saying something but she could only make out bits of what she was saying, she felt as if her ears were full of water. Scootaloo shook her head trying to remove the dizziness, but it only made her headache hurt more.

"Scoots, I think that's enough for the day I think we should get home." Scootaloo didn't answer. Rainbow picked up Scootaloo and held her in her hooves before taking off

"I'll check you for injuries when we get home." Rainbow was worried for her sister, she knew that she would get in accidents but on the first day of flight training?

Rainbow was flying above the town taking in all the sights, she saw Derpy with her head stuck in one of the mailboxes, Twilight reading a book on one of the park benches and Fluttershy leading a line of ducks through the streets.

Rainbow was nearing her cloud home with the half asleep orange filly in her hooves. After a few more seconds of flying she landed on the soft surface of the cloud. She put the filly on her back and trotted in to her home. She kept trotting in to her living room and slowly placed the filly on the fluffy white couch.

She went to the kitchen and filled a glass of water by squeezing one of the smaller bits of cloud and went back to the living room.

"Drink some water." Scootaloo gladly accepted the glass of water as she was slowly regaining her senses.

"Scoots, how does your head feel?" Said Rainbow as cleaned her muzzle free of blood and felt around it for breaks.

"I have a bad headache." Said Scootaloo sounding nauseous and tired. "How bad?" Asked Rainbow who was now staring in to her eyes.

"Real bad." Scootaloo was now clutching her head with both hooves hoping it would ease the pain.

"Are you dizzy?" Rainbow was rubbing her mane to try and soothe her.

"A little, I guess." Rainbow put her hoof about a foot away from Scootaloo's face.

"Okay, I'm going to move my hoof around and I want you to follow it with your eyes." Scootaloo was confused.

"Why?"

"I'm testing for concussions." Rainbow told her sympathetically. Rainbow started to move her hoof around circles, Scootaloo started to follow her hoof with her eyes.

For a second or two both of Scootaloo's eyes followed the cyan hoof, but then her left eye started to trail off in another direction.

"Okay, Scoots we need to get you to the doctor." Rainbow saw Scootaloo give her a funny look.

"Rainbow daths i'm finth!" Scootaloo started slurring her words.

"No, you're not." Rainbow stared blankly at Scootaloo. "Come on, were going."

Scootaloo shook her head violently, she regretted doing that. Her head felt like it exploded.

"AHHHHH! OWOWOWOW! IT HURTS!" Scootaloo screamed before vomiting on the cloud floor.

Rainbow was scared. "Maybe this is worse then I thought." She thought aloud. "Hold on I'll get a doctor, STAY here, Scoots! Just rest you're head I'll be back soon." Rainbow left the filly on the couch not wanting to make it worse by dragging her to the hospital, she quickly grabbed a bowl and placed it near Scootaloo.

"If you have to puke again do it in this." At that Rainbow quickly flew out of the living room through the kitchen and out the door.

Rainbow had returned to the house with a light brown mane and coat pegasi doctor who was now doing tests on Scootaloo for head trauma. Rainbow was now getting impatient and was tapping her hoof on the floor.

"Well? How bad is it?" Rainbow asked hiding her annoyance.

The doctor turned while writing something on his notebook. "Well, she does have a concussion that's for sure. In my experience she most likely has a first or second degree case." The doctor was starting to pack his equipment up.

"She should get lots of rest and avoid any physical activity until she shows signs of recovery." The doctor pulled a bottle pills from his saddlebag and handed them to Rainbow.

"Give her these with every meal and it should prevent headaches. If she does not show any signs of recovery in about a week I would recommend you bring her to the hospital for further examination." The doctor started for the door.

"Thanks, Doc!" As the doctor left Rainbow trotted over to Scootaloo.

Scootaloo let out a frown. "Does this mean we cant go flying for a while?"

Rainbow let out a gulp to how Scootaloo would react. "Sorry, kid." Scootaloo felt as if her heart had been shattered to a million pieces. Rainbow gave her a hug, she quickly returned the embrace and started to sob.

Rainbow felt the tears soaking in to her neck. "Lets get you to bed, kiddo." She scooped Scootaloo off the ground and flew up too the filly's bedroom. She opened the door and trotted in, Rainbow placed Scootaloo on the bed and kissed her forehead.

"I'll go out and get something for dinner, what do you want?" Rainbow asked trying to put on a smile.

Scootaloo didn't answer, she still had trouble taking everything in. Rainbow sighed and left the room.

Scootaloo just started to cry. Not stopping until she cried herself to sleep.

Scootaloo was walking down the streets of Ponyville nearing the Carousel Boutique. She knocked on the door, Sweetie Belle answered.

"Hey, Sweetie I was wonderi-" Sweetie then cut her off.

"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! WE AREN'T FRIENDS ANYMORE!" Sweetie voice echoed through the town. Scootaloo was surprised how deep her voice sounded.

"What do you mean?" Scootaloo said a little hurt.

"YOU KILLED APPEBLOOM! THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT YOU!" Scootaloo was now crying. A bright light started to form behind Scootaloo. She turned instinctively to find nothing.

"Hey look you got your cutie mark!" Scootaloo looked at her flank to see a bloody knife as her cutie mark.

"It suits you, all you are is a good for nothing murderer!" Sweetie started to laugh.

Scootaloo began to cry harder. "Yeah, cry you worthless piece of sh-"

"AHHHH!" Scootaloo woke up screaming, she started to sob loudly.

"N-no N-no, I-it w-was a accident! S-sweetie i-is m-my friend." Scootaloo only started to cry harder. "S-she wouldn't abandon m-me!" Scootaloo could hear whispers all around her, they were repeating the words Sweetie was saying in her dream. Worthless, Murderer... Applebloom.

"STOP LEAVE ME ALONE!" The voices just got louder, they sounded like they were getting closer and closer to her by the second until the voices were almost yelling. Scootaloo started to sob harder.

"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Yelled Scootaloo before letting out a high pitched scream. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Scootaloo, I'm home!" Rainbow called to her sister. Scootaloo answered with a loud yell of fear.

"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Rainbow gulped. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rainbow dropped the bag of takeout and and started bolting to the upstairs area.

Whoever is in their is going to the the biggest flank kicking of their life! she thought to herself before ripping the door open.

No pony was in the room except a sobbing Scootaloo. Rainbow quickly trotted to her side and pulled her in to a hug.

"Shh, shh its okay." She said calmly while tightening her embrace.

"NO! ITS NOT!" Scootaloo wailed. Rainbow pulled back to look in her eyes. "What's wrong? You can only get my help if you let me know what's going on." Scootaloo let go of Rainbow and curled in to a ball while sobbing a bit more quietly.

"They wont leave me alone." Scootaloo simply said, Rainbow was now confused.

"Who wont leave you alone?" Rainbow started to stroke her mane.

"THEM! the voices, the whispers!" Scootaloo quietly replied, she was now staring at nothing in particular with her eyes open wide. Scootaloo was now rocking back in fourth while mumbling "They can't hurt me." over and over to herself.
