Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash: Sisters Forever
Court
Previous ChapterNext ChapterScootaloo woke up when Celestia's sun hit her face. She yawned loudly. But then she remembered something, she was snuggling with Rainbow Dash. She immediately check her hind legs and tail. She sighed in relief when she found out she was dry. She then heard Rainbow Dash yawn. Rainbow Dash looked down at Scootaloo, who was still snuggling with her.
"Morning, Squirt", she said.
"Morning, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said, hugging Rainbow Dash lightly. Rainbow hugged her back, smiling. They both noticed the other five ponies awake at this time. However, before they could start talking, the train came to a stop. They all looked out through the window, seeing the Canterlot Train Station.
"We're Here!", Pinkie said. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo both took a deep breath before getting out of the bed. Rainbow Dash put Scootaloo on her back and the Elements started walking toward the castle. The Elements started talking about the court and how it might go. Scootaloo couldn't talk. Too many questions were floating through her mind.
What if Princess Celestia changes her mind? What if Rainbow Dash doesn't win? What if I have to still live with my horrible mother? Her thoughts were finally interrupted when the Royal Trumpets sounded off. She looked around, they were in the Castle's Courtroom. The Elements of Harmony, except Rainbow Dash, sat down in the audience chairs, while Rainbow and Scootaloo stood in the "Plaintiff" cell. They heard a door open and saw the Royal Guards carrying Light Cloud, who was hoofcuffed on all four of her legs. She looked at Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo with a dirty look before walking into the "Defendant" cell.
"All rise for Princess Celestia!", the assistant called. Twilight and her friends all stood as Celestia walked into the room and sat into the "Judge" seat.
"Please be seated", she said. They sat down. "Miss Rainbow Dash, you are claiming Miss Light Cloud is the abuser of her daughter, Scootaloo. Correct?"
"Yes, Princess", Rainbow Dash said.
"Is this true, Miss Cloud?", Celestia said to Light Cloud with a stern look.
"Yes, but a have a reason!", she yelled to Celestia.
"Calm your voice!!", Celestia yelled to Light, "Speak!" Light Cloud calmed her voice and spoke.
"That pathetic filly...", Light said before Celestia gave her the stare. Her stare was about ten times stronger than Fluttershy's. "M-my daughter, Scootaloo, is the cause for the death of my lovely husband, Dark Cloud. She killed him!!"
Celestia looked at Scootaloo. "Is this true Miss Scootaloo?"
"N-no princess", Scootaloo said with a voice kinda like Fluttershy's. Celestia can tell she was feeling awkward.
"Would you please approach the bench, Scootaloo?" Scootaloo looked at Rainbow Dash to get an explanation. Rainbow pointed her hoof at the seat next to Celestia. Scootaloo walked timidly to the bench, sat down and took a deep breath. She looked up to see the assistant walking toward her.
"Please raise your right hoof", the assistant said. She did. "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?"
"I-I do" The assistant went back to the spot and Celestia spoke.
"Please tell us what your mother has done to you. And what really happened to your father?" Scootaloo took a deep breath and spoke.
"When I was just five, my daddy, Dark Cloud was cooking for me. But he accidentally cut his neck on a butcher's knife and he lost too much blood. She has blamed me for his accident and keeps hurting me, calling me names, and makes me starve. The last time I ate before last night on the train was last week. I always have to sit at the table and watch her eat these huge meals. And when she cant eat anymore, she throws her leftovers in my face. Also, she makes me sleep in a box. She says I won't get a bed until I stopped having accidents. I wanna get this off my chest too. She has hurt me so much, I can't control my bladder. She knows that, but doesn't care. And two days ago, she kicked me in my nose because she thought I was late from school. That's when I had another accident and she made me lick it off the kitchen floor. My last shower was yesterday. Mom doesn't let me use the shower. She would just blast me with the water hose." Scootaloo begin to cry at this point. "I don't want to live with her anymore! I wan't to live with Rainbow Dash! She loves me! She cares about me! Like my daddy!!!"
Scootaloo broke down in tears. Both Celestia and Rainbow Dash felt really sorry for her, so they both walked over to her and gave her a hug. The other Elements all said 'aw' simultaneously. After about five minutes, Celestia broke free to finish the court, but Rainbow and Scootaloo still resumed. They really didn't want to let go of each other. While they hugged, Celestia started to talk.
"Miss Light Cloud, do you object to any of the information that you daughter has given me?"
"Yes!!", Light Cloud yelled, "None of that is true!!!!"
"CALM YOUR VOICE!!!!!!!", Celestia yelled to Light Cloud in the Royal Canterlot Voice. She then turned to Rainbow Dash and spoke in her normal voice. "Miss Dash, how did you find out about this? And what happened on the day you saw it? Please approach the bench."
"Yes, Princess", Rainbow Dash timidly said. However, she still didn't want to let go of Scootaloo. "Princess, could I bring Scoots with me?"
"You may", Celestia said smiling. Rainbow Dash smilied and lightly bit down on Scootaloo's neck to carry her. She flew to the bench, sat down and laid Scootaloo in her lap. Rainbow began to pet her mane. That's when the assistant walked up to Rainbow.
"Please raise your right hoof" She did. "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?"
"I do", she said with a lot of courage.
"Miss Dash", Celestia said, "Please tell us how you found out about this and what happened on the day you found out."
"Yes, Princess" Rainbow took a deep breath. "I had just finished the skies in Ponyville and was about to take a nap when my friend Applejack told me that her little sister and one of Scootaloo's friends, Applebloom, said there was something wrong with her. She said she looked like she was hiding something and there was this huge bruise on her flank, as you can see." She lifted Scootaloo's tail and showed Celestia the bruise it was hiding. Celestia gasped lightly. "So I took Scoots and went to her house. That's when I saw Light Cloud, my old friend. I told her that Scoots has told me everything and pounced at Scootaloo. But I hit her in her head, knocking her out and told Scootaloo I was going to adopt her as my little sister. That's when I went to the library and had Twilight contact you." Rainbow Dash started to tear up. "I just can't let her live like this. Her mother couldn't even teach her how to fly. Scootaloo has begged me to teach her how to fly, and I kept saying 'ask your parents'. All I want is for Scoots to have a good life. And I can give it to her."
Scootaloo looked up to Rainbow Dash. "Is that really how much you love me?"
"Yes Scoots. I love you with all my heart, Little Sister"
Scootaloo hugged Rainbow Dash tight. "I love you too!!"
Celestia went over to her jury and talked for a bit while Rainbow and Scootaloo continued the hug. Light Cloud was actually shaking right now. And the other Elements were talking about how this case was going to go.
"You will win, Sugarcube!", Applejack whispered to Rainbow Dash
"I have faith in you, Darling!", Rarity whispered with a smile
"If you win, I will throw a Scootaloo-and-Rainbow-Dash-are-now-sisters party!!!!", Pinkie whispered with enthusiasm.
"Good Luck, Rainbow Dash!", Twilight whispered, then buried her face in a book.
"Umm... do good Rainbow Dash...", Fluttershy said in a timid voice.
Celestia walked back to her seat and sat down. "Miss Light Cloud, the jury has ruled you guilty of foal abuse and endangerment!! You are sentenced to life in my dungeon!!!!"
"What?!!!", Light Cloud said, sounding very scared, "Princess, please!! I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Cloud", Celestia said, "but my ruling is final!" Light Cloud got down on her knees.
"No, please!!! Give me another chance!! Scootaloo, I'm sorry!!!! I'll treat you better!!! Just please don't let her do this!!!"
"No!", Scootaloo yelled with a stern look, walking to her mother, "This is what you get! You hurt me for three years! So now you gonna get hurt for the rest of your life!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!" Scootaloo kicked Light in her nose, causing it to bleed heavenly. "HOW DOES IT FEEL?! HURTS DOESN'T IT?!!!!" Rainbow picked Scootaloo up and put her on her back.
"That's enough Scoots", Rainbow said.
"Sorry, Rainbow Dash. I just couldn't wait to get revenge!"
"You did!", Rainbow Dash said. "She's on the floor crying with a broken nose because of you".
"Yeah, It feels so good!!" The two laughed and then silenced themselves when Celestia said "Order".
"Guards!", Celestia said, "Take her to the dungeon!"
"Yes, Princess", the guards said. They started to drag Light Cloud away.
"Please. Don't do this Princess!!!! Let me try again!!!"
"Guards, stop", Celestia said. "Miss Scootaloo will decide! Scootaloo, should we take her away, or let her try again?"
Scootaloo didn't even hesitate to say the answer. "TAKE HER AWAY! I HATE HER!!! RAINBOW DASH IS MY MO- SISTER NOW!!!!"
"Guards, resume!", Celestia said.
The guards started to drag her away, while Light was still begging. When she was gone all the ponies in the room clapped.
"Order in the court", Celestia said. "Now for the other thing. Miss Rainbow Dash, I am granting you full custody and supervision rights over Scootaloo. You will now be responsible for her now. I am also rewarding you with 1000 bits to help you pay for her needs. Scootaloo is now your little sister!!!! Cases Closed!!"
"Yes!!!!!!", Scootaloo said, hugging Rainbow Dash tightly. The other Elements went down and hugged the two new sisters. Scootaloo broke free from the hug and hugged Celestia.
"Thank You, Thank you Thank You!!!!!!!!"
"It's no problem Scootaloo".
"Squirt?", Rainbow called to Scootaloo.
"Yes Rainbow Dash?"
"Time to go home".
"OK. Good bye Princess!"
"Good bye Scootaloo!"
Soon The seven ponies were on the train going back to Ponyville. Scootaloo fell asleep with a smile on her face. She couldn't wait to spend the night with Rainbow Dash!
