A new life

After a day of explaining to her friends her new condition, Scootaloo went home to Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo once again woke up in the morning, hoping to Celestia that what she had just experienced was only a dream.

She got out of bed and walked over to her dresser. Nope, it wasn't a dream. Scootaloo facehoofed and said, "Aww man, they're still there." Running her tongue over her teeth, she then picked up her brush to brush her tail. "Oh no," Scootaloo said to herself, panicking. What she saw behind her was no longer a normal pony tail, but a long dragon tail with pink fuzz at the end. Then she noticed her wings, which also seemed to be transformed, this time into dragon wings.

Scootaloo grunted in frustration and anger as she trotted towards her closet. The first outfit she went for was the one she used to express being a total fan of Rainbow Dash.

She put on the now tight fake rainbow tail over her dragon tail, the Rainbow Dash wig and false wings, and the t-shirt with her idol’s face on it to complete the look. She then popped in the false teeth and tongue and ran down the steps to find absolutely no rainbow-colored pegasus there to greet her at the bottom of the steps. "Oh well, she's probably napping on a cloud again," she said quietly to herself.

She floated gently to the ground after having walked out the door and jumped off the balcony as usual, heading towards the clubhouse ready and prepared to talk to her friends some more. As usual, she landed on the balcony of the clubhouse and practically kicked down the door. Not quite as usual, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were inside. Scootaloo gasped at the sight of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Diamond Tiara gave Scootaloo an evil grin and said, "Oh, look who showed up for the party, Spoons."

Silver Spoon gave the same unnerving grin as Diamond Tiara and said, "Oh, beautiful." She walked up beside Diamond Tiara, both still giving that same devilish smile.

Apple Bloom attempted to say something, but had her mouth blocked by a gag that had been shoved in her mouth, along with Babs Seed and Sweetie Belle. All of them had been tied to an iron rod that Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara had installed in the back left corner.

Scootaloo almost instantly was furious. Her entire face grew a crimson red and her false teeth dropped out of her mouth. Scootaloo decided it would be best if she had no outfit for what she was going to do. She whipped her tail to the side to get the fake one off, not taking for a second taking her eyes off of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. She shook her head. knockin the wig to the ground and she flapped her wings violently to shake off the false ones. The shirt would have taken too much time and didn't really matter.

The entire process took about three seconds, and once she was done she gritted her teeth and said, "You…” inching towards the two bullies. “You. Don't. Hurt. My. Friends."

Scootaloo’s body started to vibrate as she growled loudly and black smoke started to blow out of her nose with every exhale. She suddenly roared very loudly and the her back hooves left the ground as she kept her forehooves on the ground and her head close to the ground. She tilted her head forward, and before the bullies could get a single word out of their mouth, Scootaloo had them thrown onto the ground, having rammed into them faster than they could see it coming. Then Scootaloo used her sharp fangs to pick the two up by their necks as if they were cats and threw them off the balcony. She then quickly flew back inside to release her friends from the rope and remove their gags.

"Wow!" The three fillies screamed and cheered, "Thanks, Scootaloo!"

"Aw, it was no biggie." Scootaloo smiled proudly as she talked.

"Scootaloo! We have to tell somepony about your new abilities!" Sweetie belle jumped in front of Scootaloo, smiling wider than ever.

"What?! No! Nopony can find out about this, girls!" Scootaloo used her wings to turn around and sit. Crossing her hooves and closing her eyes, her facial expression died down to slight sadness.

Scootaloo heard a gasp come from behind her. It was apple bloom. "Uh, Scoot, your coat..." said Babs Seed, gesturing to Scootaloo with her right forehoof. Scootaloo turned her head to look at Babs and then noticed that instead of a furry coat covering her body, she now had scales.

Scootaloo gasped and almost started crying right then and there, but instead of tears, she let out a loud roar of frustration before almost yelling, "You know what?! I'm outta here! I'm going home and I'm not coming out until my birthday bash!" Before any of her friends could say anything, Scootaloo was outside of the clubhouse and on her way back home faster than ever.

Scootaloo flew into a dark rain cloud and clamped down on it, shaking her head rapidly like a dog ripping up a chew toy. The cloud immediately vanished, and just on the other side of where it used to be, was Cloudchaser.

Cloudchaser gasped at the sight before her and Scootaloo was gone in seconds, this time aiming for the Everfree forest. Hoping to see Zecora somewhere, she dove down into the trees. She knew she could trust Zecora to keep her secret and answer her questions. Why not? Apple Bloom seems to be okay around her.

Scootaloo landed on the ground not to far from Zecora’s place and looked around before stepping forward. Once she takes her first step towards the home in front of her, she is sprayed in her face by a plant not unlike the one that attacked the princess the day she saved the Tree of Harmony.
