Harsh Realities

  Scootaloo laid down on her bed, massaging the fresh bruise on the top of her head.

"Ugh! My head hurts so bad. I had to come home late *sniff*." Scootaloo continued to cry as she buried her face in the pillow. It wasn’t long before she heard hoofsteps thumping against the tile floor, quickly coming closer. Scootaloo got scared, because if the thumps were coming closer, then it meant that she was coming back.

The door then burst open to reveal a very pissed off Rainbow Dash. As soon as Scootaloo was in range, she slapped her sister, making a few teeth fall out. “I thought I told you to SHUT UP! You little WHORE!” Dash screamed at her, striking her again, this time in the gut.

Scootaloo tried to get up but failed. “I-I-I-I’m s-sorry,” Scootaloo cried. She was flung across the room into a wall, the impact cracking one of her wing bones. Scootaloo tried to get up and once again failed, so she decided to simply lay there and wait.

“Now I’m going to go out for a little bit. I want you to stay here, you stupid little SHIT!” Dash then slammed the door and left, leaving Scootaloo to cry. “*sniff* I...I *sniff* hate her so *sniff* much,” she said. She sat in her bed, crying for a couple more hours, before sleep finally came to detach her from reality and take her to the land of dreams.

Rainbow Dash walked inside the library, noticing that even more books were added to Twilight’s collection. “Sorry I’m late, Twi. I had to deal with Scoots. She beat up Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. I can’t believe she'd do that!” Rainbow Dash lied. She soon spoke up again, “Anyway, can I borrow that shock collar I had you make me, Twi? I really need it,” Dash asked, looking around the room.Twilight walked into the room, holding the collar up with her telekinesis. She gave it to Rainbow, who then thanked her and began walking to the door, about to leave. However, she was stopped by a hoof, which then turned her around to face Twilight.

“Sorry for my asking, but what kind of pet are you planning on using this on, anyway?” Twilight asked, confusion evident in her voice. She knew that Tank certainly didn’t need to be trained, and, to her knowledge, Rainbow didn’t have another pet, so she couldn’t figure out why it would be needed.

“Well, Twi, ya see... I recently got... uh… a dog! Yeah, I got a dog yesterday!” Rainbow said. Sweat was beginning to build on her forehead, and Twilight could see that she was clearly lying, but before she could comment on it, Rainbow opened the door and quickly left. ‘Phew! That was close,’ she thought to herself, preparing to fly home. ‘Okay, now to take care of my little Scootaloo. I should probably go out and buy a dog, maybe I can teach it to fetch Scootaloo... I gotta stop talking to myself,’ Rainbow thought.

Rainbow landed in her cloud home and, opening her door, she then walked over to the bed and laid down, saying to herself with an evil grin on her face, “Tomorrow, me and Scoots are going have fun.” Soon, she fell asleep

The Next Day...

Rainbow Dash awoke from her wonderful sleep. Stretching, she thought to herself, ‘Ok, it’s time to give Scootaloo her morning beating.’ She walked out of her room then burst into Scootaloo’s room, seeing the filly still sleeping. ‘Hmm... I’ve got an idea.’ She then went to the kitchen, grabbed a bucket of ice-cold water, and returned to Scootaloo’s room. She prepared the throw it at her sister. “Hehe... This is going to be funny,” she said aloud to herself, then poured the water on Scootaloo.

Scootaloo awoke shivering and wet. She looked up at Dash, who had an angry expression on her face. “W-w-what do you want?” she asked. Her response was a hoof being slammed into her face.

“DON’T TALK TO YOUR SISTER THAT WAY! YOU LITTLE BITCH!” Dash said as she grabbed Scootaloo by the hair and threw her towards the dining table. “OK, EAT UP, YOU LITTLE WHORE!” Scootaloo shakily got up and looked at the plate, which only held a single piece of hay. “B-but why can't I have more than one?” Scootaloo asked, expecting to be thrown across the room. Instead, she was hit on the back of her head with Dash’s hoof.

“Did I say you could speak, BITCH?!” Dash said as she continued to hit Scootaloo. “You know what? I'll just eat it myself.” Scootaloo tried to stop her, but she was thrown against the hard wall, almost breaking one of her hooves. Scootaloo looked up and watched as her sister ate  the only food she got for the entire day.

“Well, that was good. GRAB YOUR THINGS, SCOOTAFUCK, IT’S TIME FOR SCHOOL!” Dash yelled, throwing the saddlebags at Scootaloo. It landed on Scootaloo’s leg, making her yelp in pain. She opened the bag, allowing some of the many bricks that filled the bag to fall out. Scootaloo looked at Dash with tears welling in her eyes, threatening to fall.

Dash looked at scootaloo and said, “Oh, get over it. I’m sure it didn’t hurt that bad.” Rainbow then grabbed one of the bricks off of the floor and dropped it on Scootaloo’s other, uncovered leg, making the filly scream in agony. Rainbow Dash looked at the pitiful child and laughed, grabbing and throwing her through the open front door, yelling, “Try and fly now, you worthless SHIT!” Scootaloo tried to do so, but she immediately faltered and fell, hitting her leg on the ground. Feeling the pain, Scootaloo cried and began blowing on the injured spot. She looked up to see Dash looking angrily at her.

“Get up, you worthless sack of shit!” she yelled. Scootaloo complied. “Now go to school before Miss Cheerilee does something even worse than what I’ll do to you.” Having heard that, Scootaloo began running, limping on one of her back hooves.

Scootaloo quickly made her way to the school. When she arrived, she saw Cheerilee looking at her, the bags under her eyes signifying that she was probably tired . “Ah, hello Scootaloo. You’re a little late for school. Well, come on, let’s get inside,” Cheerilee said with a cheerful smile. Scootaloo followed her inside and sat down at her assigned desk. Cheerilee walked to the front of the classroom and cleared her throat, getting everypony’s attention. “Ok class, let,s start the lesson for today.” Cheerilee happily said. She then began explaining the history of Equestria beginning around 600 years ago.

Just then, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon decided to speak, Diamond Tiara being the first to do so. “Well, if it isn’t the worthless blank flank. Or, should I say, chicken. BAWK, BAWK, BAWK!” Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon then began chanting, making Applebloom lightly chuckle but still feel sad for her feathered friend and reducing Sweetie Belle to tears. Cheerilee swiveled her head to look at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon and said with strictness only she could muster, “GIRLS! Stop making fun of Scootaloo! I'm sure she will learn to fly eventually.”

Scootaloo smiled brightly at her teacher, then picked up her pencil and began to take notes, all while thinking to herself, ‘Sometimes I wish that Cheerilee was the one taking care of me, not Rainbow Dash.’
