Burning Hoof Prints

Although it was clear as crystal he was on fire.  The unconscious form on the floor had absolutely no signs of being aflame. not one hair in his mane was singed, not on patch of burnt flesh whatsoever.

Yet he lay there out cold. The entire occupancy of the bakery gathered around as Twilight had a professional look at him. careful maneuvering him with a soft lavender glow.

"astonishing..."

"What is it Twi?" Rainbow dash perked up over the crowd with an empty bucket

"He's not hurt but his body is dropping temperature fast."

"do you think he went into some kind of shock after the splash"

"no it's not that but it looks like he did pass out i'm not sure why he's freezing up. i'm already applying some heat to him it seems it is helping"

"well I hope he's okay " the yellow pegasus,slightly backing away

"Twilight I'm just curious, he's from another world," Sweetie Belle chimed up in her noticeable voice " so what if it's a normal thing and the water hurt him"

"What?"

"Well he did say his fire was back." Scootaloo added to the protest

Both twilight and sweetie belle looked over to her as she shrunk back "It was kinda loud I heard a lot"

Not bothering to explain the importance of privacy to Scootaloo, Twilight returned to heating up the colt on the floor until his body temperatures were rising by themselves

the entire bakery watched as fire was enveloped in an aura and gently draped over Twilight's back "he seems to be warming up again, but I think Interdimensional travel may have taken a toll on him, i'm just gonna have him get some bed rest."

"Twi can you explain what happened exactly," Applejack caught her whilst glaring at Applebloom.

"Yes Twilight dear, would you care to tell us?" added Rarity  with devious grin while wrapping an arm around Sweetie Belle.

catching onto what they were doing twilight shot a smug grin while passing the door "Well I'd love to girls, however, I think the crusaders have much more to say"

after twilight left with a now snoring fire hazard, applejack and rarity left towing to nervous looking fillies. Scootaloo shot a exhale of relief but felt the air brushing against her from above. Her eyes quickly filled with dread as she realized it was wing beats.

"So Scoots," Rainbow Dash said "What did happen?"

from inside Carousel Boutique

"And that is the story I guess, I didn't meant to pull him into our world I just thought it was like a star or meteorite when it said outworld object"

"Sweetie Belle, wait, Sweetie Belle stars are-... no I need you to understand that what you did was careless, even more so than when you lit your cereal on fire."

"ugh... do you have to remind? I didn't know it would spread to the cabinets"

"you tossed the bowl over to them"

"i tried for the sink!"

"we lost all my fine china!"

"I put out the flames didn't I?"

"you made them worse!"

At this point Sweetie Belle lightly thumped her head against the table. "I'm sorry okay? I just thought I could do better in higher magic and well I'm paying for it because Fire got's Scootaloo and Applebloom going crazy"

Rarity recoiled a bit from the statement "Wait Fire Hazards doing what?"

"Oh it's nothing. I probably shouldn't say anything." the filly shrank away

"well besides the point you better understand you owe twilight for when she fix's all of this"

"I know"

===================================

"Right after I ran to get help and bumped into twilight"

After sitting a short few moments applejack finally opened her mouth " Tarnation AB, i understand it's and accident but now we got a little colt who is from a entirely different world. shoot what if you took him away from his family?"

"Well, actually he did say he was about to be captured by something, ah kinda reckon that sounds like a rescue." Applebloom stated while rubbing her head

"-sigh- Well ah guess it does kinda sound like that, but Applebloom you understand how wrong it is right?"

"Yes sis, I do understand"

"And?"

"And ah'm reeeeaaaallly sorry"

"Okay then now ah suppose it's about time ah left you to your thoughts" Applejack  turned around to exit the room " Oh  and I want you up early tomorrow for pig duty in the barn"

"what!? Why- oh... never mind ah know why."

"what thought i'd let you off that easy" she turned to leave again but applebloom decided nows as good as time as any to ask for advice.

"Hey AJ. umm... can ah ask for some advice on umm... on colts..."

Applejack froze in place.eyes wide she swallowed as she turned around with noticeable nervousness " sure sugarcube what can ah tell ya?"

Inside a cloud house north of Sugarcube Corner

============================================

"wow kid very daring to do that"

"wow you think so? thanks rain-"

"but very dumb, scoots you got to understand the line between risky and reckless. it could really hurt people."

"i'm sorry rainbow dash..." scootalo was looking down as she said it, rainbow looked on with a hurt feeling

"Hey kid cheer up, I still find it kinda funny that he thinks Sweetie Belle is his trainer."

Scootaloo slightly leered of to the side. "yeah hehe very funny" why not me

"Oh and by the way scoots you're not aloud to have any candy for a few days."

"What!?"

"Hey believe me I hate being the... the .... Twilight had a word for it when i first adopted you... oh the hay with it I don't like being the person who has to discipline the foal but as your adopted mother I have to take some kind of action"

"I understand." Scootaloo agreed with a slight smile. it may be a punishment but it showed rainbow really did love her like her own

"Now i'm gonna hit the shower when I'm out I'll cook something up so just hold on till dinner."

rainbow was about to take off when scootalo called her back with astonishing loudness

"hey uh Rainbow I wanted to um talk to you about something..."

"What is it squirt?"

"Well it's uhh that I uhh Fire Hazard is"

"Well Scoots I think it can wait till after I-"

"I have a crush on fire hazard!"

Silence can be sweet and beautiful if the circumstance stood right, however this was intense awkward silence. It lasted until Rainbow finally let out her air in a sigh

"I guess I can make dinner now and shower after."
