I woke up in a shiny white room, with a few old ponies and some younger ones around me. A white male unicorn with a white mane wearing a white suit sat at a white desk looking over white papers. I walked up to him.
"Uh, mister?"
He looked up like he was surprised, then looked sad. "Oh...Hello there. You must be Scootaloo."
"That's me! How did you know?"
"Let's just say...I've been expecting you," He turned to big white gates behind him. "Go through there."
I walked in front of them and they creaked open. I stepped into what I was sure was Cloudsdale, only it seemed bigger and I couldn't see the weather factory.
'How'd I get here anyways?' I shrugged it off. It felt like ancient history now.
Another difference was that earth ponies and unicorns were walking around, as well as pegasi. It could be that Twilight used a spell to send them up, but I couldn't think of a reason why she would have. I finally came to the conclusion that I was not in Cloudsdale, but not once did I think of where it actually was after that. Mostly because I was distracted.

There was no mistaking that blue coat and rainbow mane. Rainbow Dash was here with me, alive as can be. She had a long white dress on, and I suddenly realized I was wearing one too. She seemed so happy for some reason, though back then, I couldn't figure out why. All of her friends thought she was dead, and she was up in the clouds, being happy? Looking back, it's amazing I hadn't realized sooner. I ran up to her.
"Hey, Rainbow Dash!" I yelled out.
"Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash turned to see me, and she seemed to be on the brink of tears all of a sudden. She grabbed me and hugged me really tight. "Why? Why are you here?"
"Uh, I dunno," I shrugged.
Dash hugged me tighter. "You shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be here."
