The Voice In My Head

Telling one big lie can get you somepony you always desired in life. You just gotta make it seem real.

Rainbow Dash flashed a boastful smirk as she gazed at her beautiful baby blue skies, which she cleared for all of Ponyville’s ponies to admire. She spun her head backwards to spot an oval shaped cloud in the middle of the sky, thinking that it might as well be her napping spot for the time being. May as well take a quick nap and then work on my signature moves for the Wonderboltswhen I wake up. Rainbow Dash flew over to the cloud and, as she rested her head, soon fell into a deep slumber.

Inside a rainbow colored, timber door, Scootaloo sat in her room near the window. She pondered if she’d see her clearing the clouds or practicing some moves, but there was nothing there. She sighed, What do I have to do for you to be mine?

Scootaloo leaped off the chair, and landed on all four hooves on the green hairy carpet.She gazed around her room in awe as if it was her first time seeing it; it was filled with photos, clipped hairpieces and plushies of her idol that screamed number one fan filly. She wanted, no... she NEEDED to be closer to Rainbow Dash some how.

Scootaloo trotted to a big plushie of her idol that sat near a corner of the wall. It was made by Rarity as a gift for her birthday. She picked it up and stared into its fake cotton eyes. Even though she knew it wasn’t the real one, the plushie kept the obsessive side of her contained.

“Scootaloo, time for breakfast come downstairs  and eat!”

Scootaloo gritted her teeth as the annoying voice of her mother sang in her ears. She hated her parents. They weren’t the perfect parents that graced you with their affection, no they were the exact opposite. Scootaloo wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, but nopony would hear her cry for help.

“Scootaloo, for the second time!” Shouted her mother, “Get your flank down here and eat breakfast with your family!”

“I don’t wanna eat Mom. Go away!” Scootaloo called out.

“Come downstairs and spend time with your family!”

Scootaloo groaned. “I don’t want to, Mom!”

“This what happens when you spend time with that Rainbow Dash and whatever that group you hang out with is call.”

“It’s the Cutie Mark Crusaders!” She corrected her. “And you don’t understand Rainbow Dash cause you don’t understand me!”

 Scootaloo went to the window, and unlocked it. She spun her head towards the door to see if she was being watched, but saw nopony there. With that, she leaped out the window and landed on her left wing on the grass.

“Crap that hurt,” she muttered to herself as a painful feeling shot through the wing that she landed on. She picked herself up and limped towards her bright blue scooter. Once Scootaloo got on her scooter and strapped on her helmet, she rode off to the Crusaders’ clubhouse.

“And how did this happen?” Sweetie Belle asked as she wrapped bandages around Scootaloo’s left wing. “Does it hurt?”

Scootaloo shrugged, “Not a lot.” She replied, “And I don’t wanna talk about it.”

Apple Bloom sat the box with a red cross onto floor next to Scootaloo. She opened it revealing a bottle of alcohol and a white rag. Apple Bloom pulled them both out and poured the alcohol onto the rag then placed it on Scootaloo’s wound.

“Ouch!” Scootaloo shrieked as the cold and painful rag burned inside her open wound. She flinched away from Apple Bloom. “Watch it!”

Apple Boom rolled her eyes, “Quit whining like a baby. Ah’ve almost finished.” She reassured Scootaloo. “So how you get yer wing hurt?”

Scootaloo sighed, “I said I don’t wanna talk about it.”

Sweetie Belle finished bandaging up Scootaloo’s wing. “Come on, we’re your friends,” she said with a smile. “I’m sure it we’ll get through together.”

“I said no and that’s that,” Scootaloo said as she crossed her forelegs.

Sighs escaped Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle’s mouths. Apple Bloom rubbed her chin as she thought of a way to make Scootaloo talk. “Ah got it!” she exclaimed.

Sweetie Belle titled her head in confused. “Got what?” she whispered out of Scootaloo earshot.

“I know how to get her to talk,” she whispered back, chuckling. “Just watch.”

Apple Bloom trotted to Scootaloo, but pretended Scootaloo wasn’t in the room. “Ah boy, Sweetie Belle. Somepony told me this thing that will sure get our cutie marks today.”

“What?” Sweetie Belle asked but soon got the message. “Oooh yeah. I would hate for Scootaloo to miss it. Too bad she’s not here.”

Scootaloo was about to opened her mouth to protest, but remain silent trying not to play into their game.

Apple Bloom smiled as she saw Scootaloo trying her hardest not to give in. “Yeah, it includes all type of cool tricks and stunts from none other than Rainbow Dash.”

“Yeah and I’ll be it’ll be so cool and awesome.”

Scootaloo couldn’t take it anymore she had to tell them for the sake of doing something with Dash to earn her cutie mark.“Fine,” she muttered. “I damage it while escaping from my room.”

“Why was ya trying to escape yer room?

Scootaloo whimpered as more alcohol was put onto her wound. “I’m having problems at home.”

Apple Bloom stopped tending to Scootaloo’s wound. “What kind of problems?” she asked, “If yer don’t mind me asking?”

“Yeah is it something terrible?” Sweetie Belle questioned as well. “Did they hit you or threaten to hit you?”

Scootaloo shook her head, and huffed. “It’s just-” She threw her hooves in the air and shouted. “MY PARENTS ARE ANNOYING LAME PONIES!”

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle exchanged befuddled  looks at each other, before they flopped on the floor as burst out in a laughing fit.

Scootaloo gritted her teeth. “What’s so funny?” she hissed at them. “This isn’t funny at all!”

Both managed to contain their laughter, Sweetie Belle was the first to speak. “Sorry Scoots,” she apologized as she wiped the tear from her eye. “It’s just we thought something terrible happened.”

Apple Bloom nodded. “Yeah Scoots, we was just having a little laugh. No big deal.”

“No big deal? It is a big deal!” Scootaloo hissed at Apple Bloom. “My life is depressing and it’s all because my parents aren’t RAINBOW DASH!”

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle gasped at Scootaloo’s true intentions towards Rainbow Dash. “Did you just-”

“Yeah.” Sweetie Belle finished for Apple Bloom. “You hate your parents because they aren’t-

“Yes.” Scootaloo interrupted Sweetie Belle. “I knew it in my gut that there was some type of mistake. I know me and Rainbow Dash suppose to be like mother and daughter… WE’RE JUST LIKE!” she shouted as her eye twitched.

“Okay...” Apple Bloom chuckled with a nervous smile. “I think maybe you’re being a little too obsessive over Rainbow Dash being yer mother.”

Scootaloo opened her mouth, but only a sighed escaped it. “I guess you’re right.” she muttered. “Sometimes I get that way.” She trotted towards the door, but stopped and turned back to look at her friends. “I’ll catch you guys later,” then left leaving Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom alone to think what just happened.

Scootaloo rode her scooter towards her house as she did a voice couldn't get out of her head.We can have Dash, Scoots. Scootaloo shook her head to shake the voice off, but it kept trying to convince her that she needed Dash to be the one. Don’t deny it, Scootaloo. Me and you both know you really want Dash to be your mother instead of those...how do you said, ‘lame parents’

“Shut up!”

YOU CAN’T SHUT ME UP! the voice shouted. YOU CREATED ME  THE DAY YOU FIRST SAW RAINBOW DASH! I’M THE SICK TWISTED AND OBSESSIVE SIDE  SIDE OF YOU! MUAHAHAHA!” the voice started laughing madly.

Scootaloo closed her eyes as she shook her head violently while, shouting. “Get out of my head! You're  not me, you're just an insane dumb voice in my head!”

“THEN WHY DO YOU FEED INTO ME, HUH!” it shouted. THE MORE YOU WANT RAINBOW DASH, THE LESSER YOU STAY IN CONTROL!”

“Shut up, shut up!” Scootaloo shouted. All of a sudden the voice stopped it’s horrific taunting and it made Scootaloo feel paranoid at it’s sudden stop of torture. Scootaloo feared that the voice is coming closer to convincing that it was her other side of herself that was obsessed with her idol. Scootaloo stopped her scooter as she stood below a certain cloud somepony slept on daily above her. Maybe the voice was right. Maybe she needed Rainbow Dash to be closer to her. Scootaloo shook her head of the thoughts, trying not to feed into the voice.

“Hey Scoots,” Rainbow Dash greeted Scootaloo as she flew from behind Scootaloo. “Whatcha doing?”

Scootaloo shrugged. “I was about to see if you were up that cloud,” she said as she pointed to the cloud above. “Can I ask you about something?”

Rainbow Dash raise an eyebrow. “Sure squirt.”

Scootaloo inhale as she tried to calm her nerves then exhale. “Did you ever had this other side of yourself that you didn’t want to believe what it say to you was true?”

Rainbow Dash nodded. “The only thing I hear my voice tells me that I’m awesome.” she joked with a smile, but her smile dropped as she saw tears streaming down Scootaloo’s eyes. “Hey what’s the matter kid?”

Scootaloo opened her mouth and was about to Dash the truth about her obsessive side. “It’s nothing,” she lied as she turned away from Dash’s gaze.”I-I-I’m wasting your time. Forget it.”

Scootaloo felt a hoof land on her shoulder. She turned around to see Dash frowning as she stared into her little sister’s eyes. “Scootaloo, you’re never waste my time,” she reassured with a smile. “Now can you please tell me what’s wrong?”

Scootaloo sighed. “I’m having trouble with my parents,” she told Dash the half of the truth about her problems.” They haven’t really been fair to me.”

“What they do?” Rainbow Dash questioned. “They didn’t hurt you, did they?” She pointed to Scootaloo’s  banged up wing. “Did they do this?”

Scootaloo felt her heart pound against her chest as she faced her big sister.“I-I...”

“Scootaloo, what they do?”

Scootaloo, this is your chance. Just tell one little lie to her that your parents hit you and Rainbow Dash be ours for the taking.

“Scootaloo, what they do?” Rainbow asked, but a little louder than before.

Do it Scootaloo! This is our chance to get what we always desire: Rainbow Dash to be our new guardian! Don’t lose your only chance Scootaloo, do it, do it!

Scootaloo felt the pressure weight down on her little heart. She was about to pass out if she let this go on any longer. She couldn't take the heavy pressure much more if it continued.

“Scootaloo, tell me the truth right now!” Rainbow Dash demanded.

Scootaloo, tell her your parents abuse you!

“Scootaloo tell me the truth!”

Scootaloo, tell her your parents abuse you, now!

Scootaloo couldn't take no more. She broke down in front of Rainbow Dash as the voice kept shouting into her sanity. “MY PARENTS ABUSE ME!”

Rainbow Dash stood there dumbtruck as Scootaloo revealed her parents intentions to her. “Wait what?”

“My parents been abusing me for a long time!”

“Scootaloo, you been abused by your parents this all entire time and haven’t told nopony about it?” Rainbow Dash asked.

Scootaloo rubbed her foreleg as she felt a lump form in her throat. “I-I-I was scared that they’ll put me in a orphanage and I’ll be parentless.”

She turned away from Scootaloo’s gaze which worried her. “Get on my back,” she said, a little ways from earshot.

“W-W-What?” Scootaloo stirred between sobs. “W-W-Where we going?” she asked as she climbed onto Rainbow Dash’s back

“We’re going to end this.” Rainbow Dash said as flapped her wings and took off to confront Scootaloo’s parents without knowing the truth behind Scootaloo’s depression.

As the rushing wind blown into Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash’s manes, Scootaloo couldn’t shake off the horrid feeling that she wanted this to happen; she wanted to succeed in her making Dash to be her mother. Had the voice finally convinced her, that she needed this to happen. She needed Rainbow Dash to be her mother for now on.

Scootaloo looked around as they flew. She recognized the three, small cottages beside the road surrounded by shades of green grass. She knew they was getting closer to home. “Rainbow Dash?”

Rainbow Dash cocked her head back a little to see Scootaloo more as she flew. “Hmm?”

“Do you believe me?” Scootaloo asked, sighing. “Do you think I’m just a big lier? That I’m doing this just for your attention?”

Rainbow Dash shook her head.“Of course I don’t, or I wouldn’t be here trying to save you from those monsters.”

“But, I could be lying about them abusing me.”

“Scootaloo, your the most bravest, honest filly I know.” Rainbow Dash said. “I know you wouldn’t lie to me.”

Scootaloo could hear the laughter of her other self as the plan was going smoothly. She felt her heart furiously pound against her chest as her house came into view from the clouds above it.

Scootaloo put on a fake smiled as she tried hide fear. “Thank you, Rainbow Dash, for believing in me.”

“No, problem, Scoots,” Rainbow Dash replied with a smile.

Rainbow Dash landed in front of a brown painted door, her hooves beneath a welcome mat with a smile smiley face on it. For some ponies who beat on their children sure do know how to decorated the house like normal ponies, Rainbow Dash thought to herself.

Scootaloo hopped off of Dash’s back landing on her hooves. She felt like she was going to passed out right as the moment she wasn’t prepared for had arrived.

Scootaloo, this one time we can do this, the voice whispered as it chuckled.

Rainbow Dash trotted to the door and gave it a few knocks. “Scootaloo, stand beside me. I don’t want them to hurt you when I’m talking to them.”

Scootaloo did what she was told and went to Rainbow Dash’s side.”Rainbow Dash, I’m scared.” She whimpered as she heard the sound of hooves coming closer to the door maybe it was her father or mother. Either one would be bad.

It’s time to play the role of the distressed filly, Scootaloo.

Forever mine
