Scootaloo's Twisted World
Scootaloo was lying on her bed it was comfortable. She wanted to stay in bed all day but she knew that she had to get up and join her friends in today's crusading. She looked up at the stars in the sky and was enjoying it .When she realized that something was missing .After all did not the clubhouse have a roof on it. She looked around and saw that she was lying in the middle of the forest lying on a patch of grass. She began to walk to ponyville .She continues to walk began to wondering why it was not beginning to get any brighter outside. She had been trotting for a while .When she began to wonder what happened to the Apple trees should there be at least some trees after all the clubhouse had been built on sweet apple acres. She then saw what looked like a house and went towards it.
"Don’t come any closer get away.” Scootaloo stopped and listened to the voice it seemed to be recognizable.
"Hello is the any pony there,” said Scootaloo.
"Go away trespasser.” it was Big Macs voice only it seemed to be hoarser then she remembered.
"Big Mac is that you” said Scootaloo.
"Who are you what are you doing trespassing on my property. " answered Big Mac.
"I come to see apple bloom.” Answered Scootaloo.
Big Mac looked down and said ". They took her away. I was not able to take care of her myself. "
"By yourself where is applejack?” replied Scootaloo.
"Don’t you dare say that name around here she abandoned her family. Now leave before I really lose my temper. "Shouted Big Mac.
Scootaloo slowly back up and headed down the road to ponyville she noticed there was not vegetarian along the roadside.
Scootaloo reached ponyville. She walks down the street when she says a purple mare with a pink mane.
"Hello Cheerilee how are you today?” said Scootaloo. Cheerilee turn and gave Scootaloo a confuse look before she turns and continue to walk away.
Scootaloo just kept on walking when she sees Mr and Mrs. Cake.
"Is Pinkie pie working today at sugar cube corner?" Asked Scootaloo.
The cakes looked at her.
"We do not Pies only cakes at the cake shop” reply Mrs. Cake.
"Pinkie pie is a pony that works with you at sugar cube corner.” Spoke Scootaloo.
The cakes looked at her with confusion "We don't have any pony working with us at the cake shop." Answered the cakes.
Scootaloo confusingly continue walking after awhile she reached carousel
Boutique and sign on it read open so she entered.
She looked around attention display dresses the stitching seem to be correct the hem seem to be correct the fabric seem to be in fine quality there seem to be something that just wasn't right.
". I am sorry I do not allow fillies into my shop. "Said Rarity.
"I came here to see if sweetie bell is home,” answered Scootaloo.
Rarity's looked at her in confusion "this is no place for fillies now leave this place "commented rarity. Scootaloo slowly backed up towards the door when she realized what it was that was missing from the dresses there were no gems on them.
"Where are all the gems,” commented Scootaloo.
"Gems what you mean dear.” reply Rarity in surprise.
"Do not all of your dresses you make have gems as part of the pattern?” replied Scootaloo.
"Where would I find that many gems?" said Rarity.
Scootaloo looked at her confusingly "why don't you use that gem finding spell of yours?” reply Scootaloo.
"What are you talking about dear." ask Rarity.
"You know that spell you use to find gems for your dresses.” Said Scootaloo. Rarity just shook her head ". In addition, after you find the gems you would get spike to dig them for you. "
"Spike that is a strange name for a pony." said Rarity.
"Spike is not a pony.” reply Scootaloo.
"What is he then?” said Rarity.
". He is a dragon. "Answered Scootaloo. Rarity backed up.
"A dragon in ponyville.” reply Rarity.
"He lives in the library with twilight sparkle,” said Scootaloo.
"We don't have a library in ponyville.” Said Rarity.
"Princesses Celestia” Scootaloo started to answer.
Before Scootaloo was able to continue, rarity put a hoof over Scootaloo mouth.
"Don’t say that name. I think you should leave. "Quietly Rarity said Scootaloo backed up. " what else every pony do be care full what you dream about. "
As. Rarity was watching Scootaloo galloping down the street she was thinking about what the filly had said to her began to imagine having friends real friend’ not just customers or other ponies that happen that also work in the fashion industry but real friends. After the filly was out of rarity sight rarity turned and looked at her dresses and agreed to herself that they would look a lot better with more gems but she didn't know any spell to help her find them.
After Scootaloo left rarity she was galloping towards the library or at least that was were, she thought she was heading to but as she near the tree, she notice or did not notice the library in the tree it was. As if the library was never there this day or was it night, she was confused but that to have been a very strange time.
She just sat there starring at the library or where the library should be at least and was wondering what was going on and what happen to her friends. When she felt a hoof on her shoulder, she turned and saw rarity standing there.
"Are you okay dear." said Rarity.
Scootaloo had begun to cry. "I just don't understand what's going on my best friends sweetie bell and apple bloom are gone everything has changed in ponyville. Moreover, my teacher did not even recognize me when I spoke to her. "
"Teacher what teacher? " asked Rarity.
"Mrs. Cheerilee.” reply Scootaloo. Rarity gave her a confused look.
Rarity looked at the tree "is this where the library should be?” commented Rarity.
Scootaloo slowly nodded and looked over at rarity who was sitting on a blanket.
Scootaloo was about to ask rarity about the blanket but just smiled and walked. Over to the blanket." some things never change. "Comment Scootaloo
"What do you mean dear?” answered Rarity.
Scootaloo just looked at her and replied ". The rarity I knew would never get dirty. ". Rarity gave her a frown "if you could help it.”
"That would be UN civilized,” answered Rarity.
"Why are you here?” asked Scootaloo.
"After you left I began to think of you had said about friends and wanted to know more about it. The twilight sparkle you mentioned is she my friend too dear. "Asked Rarity.
"Are you kidding you are one of her best friends,” answered Scootaloo.
"She is a unicorn right? " asked Rarity.
"Yes she is.” Answered Scootaloo.
" That's good I don't think I would be able to be friends with some pony that was.” began Rarity she then stopped when she realized what she was saying and notice Scootaloo had began to back away from her. ". I am so sorry Scootaloo all my life all my friends have been unicorns. "
Scootaloo just shook her head.
"Are any of my other friends non unicorns?” Question Rarity.
Scootaloo looked up and replied, "yes you have Pegasus and earth pony friends.”
It was at that moment Rarity notice that Scootaloo was starring at her flank with some confusion.
"What are you looking at so much is there something on my flank?” question Rarity.
Scootaloo shook her head " that is the problem where is your cutie mark." answered Scootaloo.
Rarity looked at her with confusion.
"My what?" Scootaloo just sat there her mouth was wide open.
After a few moments, "it is my entire fault I wish for no more cutie marks." answered Scootaloo.

Rarity looked at Scootaloo for a few moments before she asked, "What is a cutie mark?”
"You really don't know what a cutie mark is." Said Scootaloo. Rarity just shook her head. "When a pony learns what there special talent is a special mark appears on their flank.”
Rarity was looking at her with interest for a few moments before speaking
"Did I have one of those marks?" asked Rarity as she was standing up.
"Yeah three diamonds.” Answered Scootaloo.
"What was yours?" asked Rarity when. Scootaloo did not answer her. ". Is there something wrong?”
"Can we not talk about it okay Rarity "? Reply Scootaloo as she began to shiver. ". Rarity does it ever warm up here. "
"Do you want to go back to the boutique to warm up?” Asked Rarity. Scootaloo just nodded and the two of them headed back to the boutique.
As they headed
"How long has it been since the sun has risen in the sky?" asked Scootaloo.
Rarity looked at her for a few moments before responding, "I am not sure my dear ever since nightmare moon was able to banish her sister.”
"I thought you and the elements of harmony.” Reply Scootaloo as she thought about how phase.
"What are the elements of harmony my dear." Puzzled Rarity.
"You and your friends help protect equestria.” Answered Scootaloo
"Did I. Really have lots of friends?" asked Rarity. Scootaloo nodded "Can you tell me about them.
Rarity then listen to Scootaloo talk about her friends even though Scootaloo tried to not to show favourite rarity knew that the Pegasus named rainbow dash was scootaloo favourite pony.
When Scootaloo was finished rarity put a blanket on the. Sleeping foal and went up to her bed.
The next morning Scootaloo was waking up.
"You miss Apple bloom and sweetie bell my dear." Asked Rarity
Scootaloo looked up "You remember my friends.” Replied Scootaloo. Rarity shook her head. ". But Sweetie Bell is your sister. "
"I know but I haven't seen my family since I moved to ponyville. You have told so much about them I feel that I like I almost know them and you can tell me more about them on our journey. ". Said Rarity
"What Journey. ". Asked Scootaloo.
"We are going to find the elements of harmony maybe we could fix this problem. " stated Rarity
"Do you have any idea where to look?" asked Scootaloo
Rarity shook her head and said, "no I was hoping you would have an idea where to look.”
Scootaloo tried to think of where the other elements of harmony where before moving to ponyville she knew that they had told her at sometime but she just could not remember what it was that they said so she just shook her head.
"That is no problem my dear.” Answered Rarity. Scootaloo looked at her. "We will just head to nightmare city. Some pony may know something there. "
A few minutes later the two of them had packed a saddlebag for the trip and after they had some breakfast and where on their way.
They walked by sugar cube corner or were that the cake shop scootaloo thought she was not sure what to call it.
"Is this where pinkie pie is supposed to live?” asked Rarity.
"Pinkie pie is the best party pony in all of equestria.” Reply Scootaloo.
"A party would be nice. You really have no idea where to find her. ". Asked Rarity.
Scootaloo thought for a few moments before responding, "something about living with rocks.” answered Scootaloo.
They then continued there journey when they were walking by an empty field Scootaloo paused and began to Let look around it took her a few moments before she recognize that it was the school yard..
"This is where the school is.” Said Scootaloo. As she imagine the school and all of her friends and classmates playing in the yard.
Before the two of them continued there journey. A few minutes later, they arrive at the train station.
After Rarity paid for their train fare they sat on the bench to wait for the next train.
Scootaloo was watching the ponies go by she recognized of the ponies well sort of they just strange without their cutie marks"
When a light blue unicorn enter the station dragging a suitcase along the floor.
"Scootaloo do you know that unicorns name.” Asked Rarity.
"Her name is Lyra.” Answered Scootaloo.
Rarity stood up and. Walked over to Lyra using her magic began to lift Lyra's suitcase.
"Let me give you hoof with that suit case Lyra.” Asked Rarity.
Lyra gave Rarity a quizzical look. ". Thanks for the help Madame but you have me mistaken for some other unicorn my name is not Lyra. "Stated the unicorn.
Rarity gave Scootaloo a confused look. Scootaloo just shrugged.
"I have always known her as Lyra,” answered a confused Scootaloo.
Just then, a train pulled into the station and the three ponies got aboard the train. There were yellow earth ponies with a green mane sitting beside a younger mare that was also yellow but had an orange mane.
"You are my sunshine my only sunshine. " sang the yellow mare.
"Lemon dreams stop that you are being silly.” replied Sunshine.
"But I love my little sister I want to sing bout It." replied Lemon dreams.
Scootaloo was watching the two yellow ponies and it made her sad.
"What is the matter Scootaloo?" asked Rarity.
"I just have a sad feeling watching those two sitting. As I know, one of them is not supposed to be here. ". Answered Scootaloo.
A few minutes later two large stallions wearing royal Armour come walking in to the train cart.
They went from pony to pony asking them what there business in nightmare city was.
When they reached Rarity and Scootaloo.
"What are your plans for nightmare?” Asked the Guards
Scootaloo was about to speak when Rarity put her hoof in front of her mouth.
"I. Am heading to nightmare city to pick up some new fabric for my dress shop,” answered Rarity.
"What about you little filly. " asked the guards
"She is coming as my assistance,” answered Rarity.
The two guards both nodded and continue on there way.
The train ride lasted about an hour or so. When they reached nightmare city. Rarity and Scootaloo exited the train.
"Rarity do you have any idea where to look now.” asked Scootaloo.
"Office of records some pony their may have records of where our friends may be.” Answered Rarity.
As they walked down the street. Scootaloo notice this place looked almost like canterlot except everything had a darker color.
The two of them enter a large building there was many shelves of books.
"Is there any one here?” Called out Rarity.
"I will be there in a moment.” called out a voice.
"I know that voice.” Answered Scootaloo. Just then, a unicorn comes from around a bookshelf. As soon as Scootaloo saw the unicorn. "Twilight sparkle?”
Chapter 3
Twilight sparkle looked at two ponies that had entered her office.
"What can I do for you two?” asked Twilight sparkle.
"Twilight sparkle we need your help.” said Scootaloo.
"Yes and what pony is you looking for.,” replied Twilight Sparkle.
"Twilight sparkle darling we need your help.” answered Rarity.
Twilight sparkle looking confused said again "What pony are you looking.”
Rarity just gave twilight sparkle a stern look before she said "Is there somewhere we can talk in private.”
Twilight sparkle looked around seeing that no one was around she sigh
"We can talk in the back room,” said Twilight hoping this would get rid of these two ponies.
They followed Twilight Sparkle into the back room.
"Okay you two what is it that is so important that you want to tell Me.” said Twilight Sparkle.
"What if I told you I was one of your best friends?” Answered Rarity.
Twilight Sparkle gave her a confused look before speaking. ". I am sorry but I have never seen you in my life. "
"What if I told you something that only a friend would know?" Asked Rarity.
Twilight looked at her for a moment before she nodded it was then Rarity realized that nothing Scootaloo had told her would be any help now.
"Smarty Pants." answered Scootaloo
Twilight Sparkle and Rarity both turned towards the filly.
"Smarty Pants is the name of your stuffed doll you like to pretend it is doing it is home work." Respond Scootaloo.
"How would you know that?” asked Twilight sparkle.
Scootaloo rubbed her forehead before answering " Do you remember the day you took the test to get into school for magical unicorns and you test was to hatch the dragon egg.”
"No matter how hard I tried couldn't do it.” Answered Twilight.
"But you did hatch it or you would have done it if I hadn't made a stupid wish." Respond Scootaloo.
"What was this wish of yours that made me fail a test before you were any born I might add.” Asked Twilight.
"I wish for cutie marks to disappear.” Answered Scootaloo.
Twilight looked at her confusingly for a moment before speaking. "And what pre tell is a cutie mark?”
"It was a symbol that would appear on a pony flank when she realized her special talent," replied Scootaloo
"And what would this have to do with Me.” said Twilight Sparkle
"Because you are one of the elements of harmony,” answered Scootaloo. Twilight gave her a confused look." The elements of harmony are the most powerful force in equestria. They use the power of friendship to defeat the evil. "
Twilight sparkle began to back away from her.
"Are you crazy you want me to help you defeat knight mare moon?” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle.
"I am asking you to help save princesses Luna from her self." Answered Scootaloo.
Twilight sparkle gave her a confused look ". And who in the hay is. Princesses Luna?" asked Twilight Sparkle.
"She is night mare moon true name. “Answered Scootaloo
Twilight sparkle just looked at her before she just yelled ". You two get out of here. "
Scootaloo was about to protest when Rarity said ". Come on my dear we had better be on our way. "And they walked out of the room.
After the two of them was standing in the street.
"Rarity where should we go now?” asked Scootaloo.
"We are going to get some cloths for new dresses,” answered Rarity.
"Aren’t we here to find the elements of harmony?" question Scootaloo.
"But of course my darling but I rarely come to nightmare city and I can't pass up this opportunity. “Reply Rarity.
"Ok let's go and get your material just so long as you don't expect me to model dresses for you.” Said Scootaloo in a huff.
"But you would look so cute in a dress.” Answered Rarity Scootaloo just shook her head. "Awe comes on." Scootaloo just glared at Rarity "okay you don't have to model dresses if you don't want to."
Scootaloo then just nodded.
Scootaloo was standing there looking at her self in the mirror wearing a rainbow color dress and wondering how was it that Rarity had convince her to put on the dress she did admit it did look awesome or least as awesome as any dress could possibly be.
"Scootaloo are you going to come out here and show us how you look in the dress.” Called out Rarity. Scootaloo opened the door and began to walk out of the change room. "You look so cu.” Scootaloo gave her a cold stare "I mean you look awesome,” corrected Rarity.
Just then, the door of the shop open up and Twilight sparkle came running into the room.
"Come with me you two,” said Twilight Sparkle.
They turned around to face twilight sparkle "they are looking for you.”
"Who are you talking about?” asked Rarity
"I will explain after we leave here.” Replied Twilight sparkle. Scootaloo began to remove her dress "you don't have time for that let's go."
They then headed to back door when there path was block by the shop owner.
"You have not paid for that dress.” Said the shop owner
Just then, the shop door flew open and two night guards came bursting in to the room knocking over the shop owner.
They looked around the shop for a few moments before realizing it was empty and then saw an open Window.
The three mares had been trotting down the street after they were sure that they were not being followed they finally stopped.
"Okay twilight sparkle why can you explain me why we have to leave the shop.” Asked Rarity
"After you left the shop I was looking through some books about the elements of harmony.” answered Twilight sparkle " when a couple of the night guards came into the room asking about a unicorn and a pegasus filly. "
"What did you tell them "ask Rarity?
"Just that they had just left and I had no idea where you had gone” answered Twilight sparkle.
"Okay but why are you helping us. " asked Scootaloo.
"Getting the elements of harmony together sounds like an interesting test I loves test.,” answered Twilight sparkle.
"That is the twilight sparkle that I know," replied Scootaloo.
"What do you mean?" asked Twilight sparkle.
Scootaloo then told them about friendship reports
"Any idea of where to go next.” asked Twilight sparkle.
Chapter 4
The other two shook their heads and Rarity gave Scootaloo a look.
"I have been going over what they had told me before moving to ponyville.” Answered Scootaloo.
"Maybe if you tell us out loud it might help," said Twilight Sparkle
Scootaloo thought for a few moments.
"Applejack said something about going to live with her aunt and uncle orange and returning home when she saw a rainbow pointing her back home.” Answered Scootaloo.
"And you don't remember what city it was. " asked Rarity
Scootaloo shook her head and they continue to walk along discussing what to do next while at the same time trying to avoid being notice by the nightmare soldiers.
Just then, scootaloo just yawn.
Scootaloo was getting off the train at the train station at ManEhattan She trotted down the street and waited around the corner a few moments later rarity and Twilight sparkle came around the corner and the three of them began to trotting down the street.
They had spotted a poster of Manehattan and Scootaloo remember applejack saying something about it.
"Do you have any idea where applejack is" asked Twilight sparkle.
Scootaloo shook her head.
"Are you three looking for applejack?” The three of them turned towards the voice and saw a white unicorn wearing a pair sunglasses and a two tonne blue mane.
"Do you know apple jack?" asked Twilight sparkle.
". She is my friend are you her friends from ponyville?" asked the pony.
"Yes we are darling,” replied Rarity "What is your name?"
"Vinyl Scratch.”. Replied vinyl Scratch. Scootaloo looked at her with confusion she seemed to recall the name dj pon 3.
"How is applejack doing these days?” asked Twilight sparkle.
"Don’t tell her that I told you but I think she misses ponyville.” reply vinyl scratch.
"Why doesn't she go back?” Asked Twilight sparkle. Vinyl scratch just shrugged and just points down the street it takes a few moments before scootaloo notice applejack standing there watching out of the Window. Scootaloo points towards the window.
Rarity and Twilight sparkle looked at the pony in the window and then back to Scootaloo who just nodded.
The three of them went to the windows
"Hello my name is twilight sparkle,” said Twilight Sparkle but applejack just kept on starring straight ahead. ". Applejack we need your help. ". Applejack slowly turned her. Head to look at twilight sparkle with a confused look on her face.
"Do I know you sugar cube?" asked Applejack.
"No you don't but we know you darling.” Replied Rarity.
"Can we talk with you for a few moments?” answered Twilight sparkle.
After thinking about it for a few moments, she nodded and then disappears from the window a few moments later the door opened and they entered the room. The first thing Scootaloo notice was the photos of the Apple bloom, big Macintosh and granny smith. Scootaloo ran up to Apple bloom’s picture and just looked at it for a few moments.
"Apple bloom I am so sorry it is all my fault.” cried Scootaloo
"Did you know my little sister?” Answered Applejack.
"She is one of my best friends or she used to be,” answered Scootaloo
"What in the hay does that mean?" asked applejack.
"What if your family was back together? “Asked Twilight sparkle.
"I would do anything to see my family together but that is just not happening sugar cube. “Answered Applejack.
"Do you remember looking out the window starring towards ponyville?” Asked Scootaloo.
Applejack pointed towards the window that she had been staring though earlier the three ponies looked out the window and saw ponyville in the distance.
"It is my fault that you never saw what you were watching for. " cried Scootaloo.
"What in the hay are you talking about sugar cube,” answered Applejack as she turned towards scootaloo who had been just laying there and had begun to cry.
"There were these things that were called cutie marks that would appear on ones flank when a pony found there special talent.” Answered Twilight sparkle. Applejack gave her a confused look "and scootaloo used a wishing necklace to wish for cutie marks to disappear.” Applejack turned towards scootaloo.
"Because she didn't have a cutie mark.” Said applejack
This caused scootaloo to look up with a look of shock on her face and Scootaloo ran out of the room and around the corner and began to cry
"My dear what is the matter?" asked Rarity. Scootaloo turned and looked up at Rarity with tears in her eyes "are you upset about what applejack had just said?” Scootaloo just nodded.
Just then, Applejack and Twilight sparkle came out of the room.
"I am sorry sugar cube I didn't know you hadn't told any pony about not having a cutie mark,” replied applejack.
"Scootaloo why didn't you want any pony to know that you didn't have a cutie mark.” asked Twilight sparkle. Scootaloo just looked up at her but did not say anything. "Are you embarrassed that you didn't have a cutie mark?”
Scootaloo nodded for a moment but did not say anything.
"From what you had told me you just need to have patients every pony would get their cutie marks eventually my dear.” reply Rarity.
"How would you feel being the last pony to find out what makes them special?” replied Scootaloo.
"You just have to be.” Began Twilight sparkle.
When Rarity interrupted her by saying, "Totally embracing my dear. I can just imagine. "
"Sugar cube are you going to be okay,” asked applejack. Scootaloo just nodded. "Come on you all let's go back inside."
The four of them were sitting around a table.
"If we are successful would my family be back together?” asked applejack.
"Yes things should return to normal.” answered Twilight sparkle before she paused and " are you going to help us? Why?”
"I want my family back and you all seem to be nice ponies,” replied applejack

". Nothing just watching for the nightmare." said Twilight Sparkle stopping partway her sentence when she noticed applejack. Giving her a strange look .They then began to tell applejack about what had happened in canterlot.
Applejack listened to them and then went over to the candle and blew it out." We do not need that attract any more attention right. ". And walked back to the table and sat down.
Applejack turned towards scootaloo and said " Scootaloo can yaw tell us about our Sisters.” Rarity turned towards her and so did Twilight sparkle.

Chapter. 5
Scootaloo woken up the room was pitch black. She stood up and looked around not being able to see anything.
Scootaloo yelled out "Is there any one here.” There was no answer at least any answer from any pony that she recognized.
A voice answered "Hello Scootaloo. ". Scootaloo looked around but saw no one there.
Scootaloo said, "Who are you. Where are you hiding? "
The Strange pony spoke again. "We need to ask you some questions.”
Scootaloo said, "We are there more than one of you?”
Pony said, "We are the only ones here. Why are you trying to gather the elements of harmony? "
Scootaloo said, "What are you talking about.” Just then, Rainbow dash appears in front of her.
Rainbow Dash said, "Come on scoots don't lie.” Scootaloo smiled at seeing her idol for a moment and then she frowned for a moment.
Scootaloo said "Rainbow do you remember me.”.
Rainbow Dash said, "Of course I do scoots.”
Scootaloo backed up.
Scootaloo screamed " You are not Rainbow Dash the real one wouldn't know me.” Just then, Rainbow Dash disappears and then saw her friends standing there. Scootaloo smiled for a moment after all she was still happy to see her friends but shook her head and said, "You are not real.” The Two fillies both disappear and then a large black alicorn appeared in front of her.
"Luna.” exclaimed Scootaloo.
"How thus though know my former name?" Asked Luna.
"Princesses Celestia told.” began Scootaloo
But is cut off when Nightmare moon yelled, “How dare you say that name in my presence.”
Scootaloo looked at her with at least first with fear as Nightmare moon stood looking down at the filly. Then Nightmare moon had a very confused look on her face as she had notice that Scootaloo was just smiling.
"What are you smiling at?” Asked Nightmare moon.
"I know this is my dream and you can't hurt me in my dreams.” Answered Scootaloo
"I can trick you and try to fool you but you are correct unless you let me I can not hurt you in your dreams. Why are you gathering the elements of harmony? "Quiz Nightmare moon.
"I am looking to fix my mistake every thing is my fault,” cried Scootaloo he wonder why he had just told her that.
"What mistake are you referring to. " asked Nightmare moon.
"Your majesty may I ask you a question. " asked Scootaloo.
Nightmare moon looked at her for a moment before speaking "What is it that you wish to ask us."
"Why do you want night time eternal?" asked Scootaloo
"So every pony can appreciate my beautiful night.” Proclaimed Nightmare moon.
"But many others and I enjoy the beauty of the night.” exclaimed Scootaloo.
"Then explain to us why are you are trying to end my beautiful night. " question Nightmare moon.
"Luna." began Scootaloo nightmare glared at her ether scootaloo did not notice or did not care as she continued. "We need both day and night.”
"I know. " said nightmare moon she said it very quietly that scootaloo barely heard her. "But I can't.
"
"Scootaloo, scootaloo wake up, Scootaloo WAKE UP.” Yell twilight sparkle.
Scootaloo awoke in the bed the other three were looking at her.
"Are you okay Scootaloo." asking Scootaloo who just nodded and then had to shield her eyes when the room became very bright.
"Not this again!” Said Applejack
"Don’t you want to see the sun rise?" asked Scootaloo
"Now darling it would be great if was really rising. Go and look out the window. "Exclaimed Rarity.
Scootaloo went to the window and saw the sun was just starting to rise but after a few moments the sun began to start going down.
"What is happening?" asked Scootaloo.
"You see sugar cube nightmare moon likes to tease us by raising the sun a little bit before lowering it again," explained Apple Jack.
Scootaloo thought about what Luna was beginning to tell her just before she had woken up.
"Are you sure she is teasing us?” Asked Scootaloo
The other three looked at her frowning.
"My dear what are you talking about? " asked Rarity
Scootaloo then told them about her dream they listen to her nodding and shaking there heads. When she finished they were all quiet

"Vinyl scratch! “Answered Applejack as she opened the door and "come on in." vinyl scratch enter the room and saw the four ponies standing there looking at her.
"Vinyl scratch did any pony know that were coming here. " asked Twilight sparkle. Vinyl scratch shook her head with a worried look on her face. "Good we need your help.”

"We are looking for a friend of ours named pinkie pie,” answered Applejack
"Appie we have friends since we were fillies and you never mentioned this pinkie pie before.” Question Vinyl Scratch.
"She is supposed to be one of my best friends,” answered Applejack.

"Applejack is my friend since we were fillies in school. Will ya explain ta me why am I not supposed to be here? "Complain Vinyl Scratch.
"Do you like to listen to music?” ask Scootaloo. Vinyl Scratch turns to her and looked around at the others before sheepishly nodding.” You should be a DJ.” The four of them looked at her for a moment. "In my world you are a Dj and go by the name of dj pon 3.”
Vinyl Scratch gave her a very confused look. "What in the haystack are you talking about?” asked Vinyl Scratch.

Vinyl Scratch looked at the four of them before sitting down on the chair.
They then told her about the other reality Vinyl Scratch listen intently to all they say and when they finished. She turns towards Applejack.
"In this other place Appie are we friends,” asked Vinyl Scratch. Applejack turned towards Scootaloo.
"You two are not good friends.” They both looked at the filly. "After Applejack returned to ponyville your two most likely just drifted apart from each other.”
"Are you okay my dear.” Question Rarity.
Scootaloo turned towards Vinyl Scratch and saw her looking down and just shaking her head back and forth slowly repeating no any a over and over again.
Applejack sat beside her friend.

A few moments later Applejack was able to catch up to her friend.
"Vinyl Scratch slow down we need your help.” said Applejack.

"Leave me alone willing. " said Vinyl Scratch.
"Why do you not want to help us?" asked Applejack
By this time Vinyl Scratch had began to pant heavily.
