My Little Pony: Scootaloo's Sister
Lorcan and Trixie goes to the throne room and meets the CMC being held by Boxco, Dum-Dum and the Diamond Dog leader trio. Spot snaps, "Quit moving, it's very annoying!"
"Sorry, but you smell terrible and we can't stand it," Twist jokes a bit, making Spot growls at her.
"Hello, my little ponies, miss me?" Lorcan taunts the fillies and colt who frowns at him. He spots Nyx (or in this case, the clone), making the villain continue, "Well, well, I got to admit, you using a clone like Trixie has done was a bold move."
"What do you mean by that?" The Nyx clone demands to Lorcan, making him gasp in pretend surprise.
"Oh dear, did I spoil a bit? Well, that's for later. Boris, I got to admit: you did a great job in bringing these foals here."
"Thank you." Boris said to Lorcan with an evil smirk while bowing a bit. "I got to admit, I wish I have finished off that big dumb stupid Earth filth but I got a mission to do after all; Useless ponies, every one of them."
"Oh is that so? Boris, do you hate Earth Ponies enough to kill the young ones?" Lorcan ask Boris in amusement.
Boris is shocked by this question. He said, "Hey, come on! I may hate them but I draw the line at killing foals! Killing young ones is low, even for the Devil Pony."
Lorcan counters this by saying, "You didn't have a problem trying to kill Nyx..."
"As well as striking at the white filly earlier too," Boxco adds in. Boris glares at him. "What?"
"That was different. Nyx was Nightmare Moon and could be her again at any time." Boris explains to Lorcan and Boxco. "As for the filly, that was to hit Rarity, I wasn't going to kill the little one."
"Nyx isn't Nightmare Moon, yew know." Apple Bloom said dryly to Boris, making him and Lorcan glares a bit. "Never was an' never will be again."
"Little pony, when the adults are talking, shut up." Rover growled at Apple Bloom in annoyance.
Lorcan turns around, heading to his throne while saying, "I got to say, this next part of Phrase 3 will be a success; those Mane Six will have to come running to save you...but it will be their downfall!"
"You know, it's because of this, he'll hate you." Scootaloo remarks to Lorcan who pauses, his back still turned.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Spike will never love you!"
Quick as flashes, Lorcan slashes Scootaloo across the face, leaving four bloody claw marks.
"Listen here, you little wingless brat...you don't know how many years I spent, thinking that my brother is dead! Spike should be grateful that he wasn't in the way when my allies attacked!" Lorcan hisses at Scootaloo who is crying from the pain. "Besides, you talked like you have a kind of good sibling rivalry yourself which isn't true!"
"What are you talking about?" Scootaloo demands to Lorcan in pain.
"Oh yes, I know of how you like to be with Rainbow Dash and how you treat her like a big sister...ha! What a joke! She doesn't care for you, to her, you are nothing more than a nuisance to her, a little dodo who can't even fly. Why, you and your friends even did an embarrassing article on her in that newspaper of yours. You think she wants to be your 'big sister' after that, even after forgiveness?"
"That's...that's not right! Rainbow does care for me! She was upset for the whole Gabby Gums article but Rainbow forgave me! You don't know her like I do."
"Oh, please." Lorcan scoffs to the tear shedding Scootaloo. "Face it, your relationship is built on a lie. She doesn't have time for you, don't even bother!"
"Scootaloo," A voice calls out to Scootaloo, the filly yelps and wakes up in the classroom. Cheerilee, frowning, said, "Scootaloo, are you going to be doing that everyday?"
"Err, no, madam." Scootaloo said sheepishly, earning a few laughs from her classmates, especially Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. The filly sighs and continues listening.
Scootaloo couldn't help it, she has trouble sleeping. The filly can't keep her mind off what Lorcan said: is it true? Does Rainbow only consider her a pest...and doesn't like at all?
The air of Ponyville is filled with equipment: Rainbow Dash has challenged Spitfire to a race and the citizens are watching, cheering on. At the finish line, they cheer loudly as the two lands. It was a tie.
"Oh yeah, very awesome," Spitfire exclaims to Rainbow with a grin. "You're getting better."
"Hey, thanks, Spitfire!" Rainbow exclaims to the Wonderbolts leader with a grin. "Hey, uh...you did get my application for the Wonderbolt Academy, right?"
"Yeah. Of course, I am reviewing it along with many other applications. If we decide to give you an answer though, you will find out in a few weeks or so."
"I will be looking forward to it!"
Spitfire heads off to get back to work on the Wonderbolts. Rainbow smiles eagerly. The mare knew that deep down, she will make it in. Just then, Rainbow saw a familiar filly going by on her scooter...a bit slowly and barely.
"Hey Scoots." Rainbow said as Scootaloo slow down. "Did you see my race with Spitfire? Whatcha think?"
"What? Oh, sorry...I must've missed it." Scootaloo said to Rainbow with a tired weak smile. "So...how was it?"
"It was a tie. Would've won but I let Spitfire tied with me."
"Oh...cool. That's great."
Rainbow frowns, but only in worry. Scootaloo doesn't seem very...anxious and excited to be near her lately. Something's wrong. The mare said, "Hey Scootaloo; Anything wrong? You feel...tired."
"No, no, I'm fine...I'm fine...am I annoying you?" Scootaloo ask Rainbow nervously. "Am I a pest?"
"Not a chance! No way! Why you ask?"
"Nothing, nothing! Err...gotta go."
Scootaloo speeds off quickly, making Rainbow more concerned. The filly would do anything to hang out with the cyan Pegasus pony, even ask her to teach Scootaloo herself how to fly. What gives here?
"Rainbow Dash," A familiar voice calls out. Rainbow turns to see a concerned Cheerilee, trotting up to her. "May I have a word with you?"
"Oh...what did I do this time?" Rainbow asks Cheerilee with an annoyed sigh. "I swear, I am trying to avoid interrupting your classes."
"It's not that, it's Scootaloo. You noticed how she's getting tired and sleepy lately?"
"Yeah, and I've noticed she was less anxious about hanging out with yours truly. Never did that before."
"Listen, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle told me what happened to Scootaloo during the conflict with Lorcan: how he scratched her and considered her a pest." Cheerilee said in worry.
"Oh yeah, I remember her telling me that." Rainbow said, recalling the scratch marks and what Scootaloo told her what Lorcan has said to her. "I thought she has gotten over it by now."
"Apparently now because it is affecting her schoolwork as well as her sister like relationship. You got to assure Scootaloo that you don't really consider her what Lorcan abused you of doing. You got to fix it, please!"
Cheerilee trots away, leaving Rainbow sighing. Just then a voice spoke up, "She's right, you know." The mare blinks and turns to a cloaked figure nearby.
"Okay, who the hay are you?"
"Just...a friend; Anyway, Cheerilee is right. Your little 'sister' Scootaloo needs support and love. You must convince her that she isn't a pest that Lorcan claims that the filly is to you. You care for her, right?"
"Yeah..." Rainbow said with a slow nod. Even if Scootaloo can be a pest, like the stalking and the Gabby Gums incident one time, the filly is like a little sister to the mare.
"Then go, fix things before it's too late." The figure insists as Rainbow turns away to think. "After all, Applejack and Rarity manages to fix things with their sisters with some help, you can too."
"Yeah, that's...wait, how did you know about..." Rainbow turns to ask the figure how he knows of Applejack and Rarity's own problems with their sisters (though Big Mac helps with the Apple sister's one) but the unknown one has disappeared. "What the hay; man, that was weird."
Rainbow shrugs as she flies off to go talk to Scootaloo. Unknown to the mare, her mysterious 'friend' is watching, smiling underneath his hood. Looks like another sibling ship relationship will soon be repaired.
Scootaloo sighs, getting off her scooter at home and is preparing to go inside...when a speedy blur grabs her, taking the filly into the air. She yelps and looks surprised upon seeing what grabbed her.
"Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo asks Rainbow in surprise.
"Hang on, Scoots! I'm taking you for a ride!" Rainbow laughs as she puts the filly on her back. Scootaloo is surprised but laughs as she hangs on.
The two flew through the air very fast; Scootaloo does her best to keep hold onto her idol. They went so fast, you can think that the filly is flying on her own; This goes on for a few minutes as if on a never-ending roller coaster ride.
Soon Rainbow lands on a cloud, putting Scootaloo next to her. The little filly cheers out, "All right, that was awesome, Rainbow Dash!"
"Ain't it the truth?" Rainbow chuckles as she passes an apple to Scootaloo. "There you go, little pal!"
"Thanks, Rainbow Dash!" The two Pegasi fillies eat some apples, some of which that Rainbow took from Applejack's trees. "Say, what was that all about?"
"Well...remember when Lorcan claims that I thought you were a claim? Bunch of horse feathers; I mean, I would never think of that of you. You know?"
"Really; But what about when I followed you...or when I asked ya to teach me to fly...or the Gabby Gums thing...or..."
"Whoa, whoa, Scootaloo, slow down, slow down." Rainbow chuckles a bit while patting Scootaloo on the head. "First off, yeah, the following thing may be creepy...buuuuuut you are a fan so I guess I can forgive you for that. As for the flying, I was busy but again, I will do my best to teach you. As far as the Gabby Gums thing, I admit, I was upset that I pour rain right onto you and your friends...but I forgive you, right? The point is, sometimes you can be a pest...but that's what sisters do. They can be pests. But that doesn't mean I can't care for youj."
"You do care for me?" Scootaloo ask Rainbow hopefully, making the mare hugs her.
"Always; No matter what some jerks would say about you, me, or us both, I will be there when I can to watch your back. Besides, what does Lorcan know about me, eh? He hates every pony, there's no reason for me to judge!"
"Yeah, you're right about that."
"Listen, I appreciate you worry about that...but you got to stop doing so. It's affecting your attention in class. If you want to be fast and cool like me, you gotta sleep and stop worrying." Rainbow said with a chuckle. "I am worried about you and..."
"Care for me, like a big sister, right?" Scootaloo ask Rainbow hopefully.
"Bingo! Now promise me you do better in class and we will hang out a lot more...whenever I am not busy of course."
"Of course! That's a Pinky Promise!"
Rainbow and Scootaloo laughs as they continue what they themselves are doing: eating apples and hanging out. The little filly see that Lorcan is right. Rainbow Dash does care for her like a big sister would...and that's enough for Scootaloo.
