Chapter 1: I Choose To Go With Her

You look down from the cloud you are standing on. One fall could result in a sickening death, as you have not yet perfected diving. You stretch your wings as preparation for your exam. You have never been more nervous in your life. You have heard stories about failing students are never seen again, and you would want to be seen. You crack your neck and start doing wing push-ups, trying to make your appearance better on the judges. The teacher went from student to student and you studied how they perfect the diving part of the test. You watch as each pegasus pass the test and you continue your spectation until you hear a name called.

"Miss Scootaloo, you're next." Says the teacher and you blush, she was your crush. You watch as she does her preparation stretches, mostly the same as Rainbow Dash. Her magenta mane sparkled in the sunlight and went well with her orange coat. You feel yourself start to lose focus as you examine her more. You snap yourself out of it, and watch her exam. She starts off by doing the basics, breaking and moving clouds, flying through hoops made of clouds, but she then reaches the advance course. She took a thunder cloud and aimed it at a target. She fired lighting at the target and it hit a little above the bullseye, not a perfect shot, but still possible passing grade. You wondered how you were going to pass this part of the test if she couldn't get a bullseye. That's when she reached the final part, the diving part of the exam. You stand on your hooves while you try to get a closer look as she goes over the wall to the other side and let her wings go. She falls toward the hardened cloud below her and she smirks, but then she looks up at you. Her eyes widened as she saw you. You wave at her and she blushes, making your heart flutter, but it sinks as you watch her get closer to the cloud.

She looked at the cloud below her and swung her hooves left and right, hoping for her to land on them without a scratch. You wince as you watch her hit the cloud, making a cracking sound, and she started to whimper. You hear your name being called and now you have a choice, your crush or your exam. You make the choice and dive down to your crush. You put your hoof on her shoulder and she looks at you, she was wincing in pain. You asked her what had happened when she landed.

"I-I think I broke my leg." She said, lifting her hind leg. You see a dark red bruise and you put your hoof on it, she gasped and tried desperately to ignore the pain. You take your hoof away and hear somepony clear their throat. You look behind you only to see your teacher.

"In sorry, but you two have failed your exams. You may proceed to the gate on the far end of the cloud clearing exam." As she said this, Scootaloo was a waterfall. You put your hoof on her back and rubbed her. Every moment you enjoyed rubbing her back as she cried. You help her up and you attempt to fly with her additional weight, you manage, but it's hard.

"Wow, you're... strong." She tells you as you two make your way to the gate. Once you arrive there you find van with the words "Rainbow Factory" on the side of it. You admire the van and you thought about this being a field trip. Then you asked yourself, why would we get a field trip for failing? Then, a thought came to your head, the failed disappear. You gulped and you let Scootaloo down, but you kept her arm around you. You almost burst from excitement at the feel of your crush leaning on you. She sensed this and said, "Don't get your hopes up." with a smirk.

You are ordered to board the van and you do so. You made sure Scootaloo was ok before letting her down on the floor. Then, you hear the doors close, and you two are left in the darkness. You decide to wait to move until your eyes adjust. You have to persuade Scootaloo to do the same. You wait until you can see Scootaloo's eyes, those beautiful eyes that made you blush. She somehow saw you blush and slapped you. "Again, don't get your hopes up." You apologize and she accepts. The only thing you can do now is hope for this situation to not get any more awkward.

****************

Your eyes open and you see Scootaloo's eyes open slightly as well, but you awoke to sunlight. You feel yourself get pulled out of the van and thrown to the ground.

"Hey, watch it!" Said Scootaloo.

"Shut the buck up!" Shouted the mysterious pegasus. It was a stallion by the sound of his voice. He had a mask and goggles on. You felt his stare on you and you gulped. "You two, with me!" He shouted and you both listened, trying not to make the situation worst. He holds you by the collar of your neck and forced you two into the building that looked old and beat up. You took a look at the surroundings and you worry about this "trip". The walls are cracked and the faint sound of machinery filled the room.

You start to get bad feelings about this as you enter the hallway. You look at Scootaloo and she looks at you. Eventually you feel uncomfortable as you start hearing louder machines, and worst, screaming. You get the noises out of your head and you reach an iron door. The pegasus opens the door and throws you inside, closing the door afterwards. You look up and see that there was other pegasi in the room with you, 20 at least. You question what's going on and one answers you and gives you fear.

"We are awaiting death." The filly pegasus told you.
