We Really Did Go On Three

        Rainbow Dash woke up like every morning. The sun entering through her window. She lived in the sky after all, even though she sometimes slept on the ground so she could sneak to the library and read the newest of Daring's books. She loved the series so much, and couldn't believe she thought reading was for egg heads. The Pegasus stood stood up and stretched, throwing her hands over her head as she leaned back. She looked around wondering where tank was, but knowing the turtle he was flying around, or into the window, which she had found oddly strange. But whatever kept him happy right?

           Dash instantly zipped out of her house, and into the sky, her favorite place. She grinned as the usual town ponies were walking about. She knew pretty much what happened every morning. Apple Bloom and Granny Smith would pull there cart out and into the town for all the ponies to buy the apple treats, while Scootaloo practiced he tricks on her scooter, and who knew where Sweetiebell was. Probably bothering Rarity. But something was different. She searched, but there was no Granny Smith, no Apple Bloom, no cart, no nothing. The town was quiet.

             Dash looked around and saw a pony running in circles below. It was Derpy. She quickly landed on the ground, sliding as her hooves met the dirt and she stopped in front of her and watched her run in circles for seconds before she placed her hoof on her forehead. "Helllloooo?" She asked with a awkward glance at Derpy. "Where is everyone? What's going on?" She asked her voice cracking in the middle of the sentence. Derpy flailed her hooves, tears slipping from her eyes. Rainbow blinked and moved back a bit. "Derpy what happened?" She asked slamming her hoof on the dirt ground. Derpy opened he mouth to speak but all that came out was a sad moan. She sniffled and looked up with pain in her eyes. "It's Scootaloo." She wailed throwing her face into the ground as she sobbed.

          Dash's eyes widened. She had forgotten about Scootaloo, she hadn't been there this morning either, but she didn't see anypony and she didn't come to mind. "Where is everyone?" The pony asked as she leaned closer to the ground towards Derpys face. Derpy lifted it, dust now making smears of mud on the ponies face from tears. "Town hall" she said quietly looking around.

          Dash instantly turned, leaning into a jump as she took off towards town hall. Derpy jumped up and said "wait! I don't think you can handle it!!" Her voice was messy, and Dash ignored it. She went so fast, she felt tears in her eyes, but it wasn't just because of the fact that she was going fast. Scootaloo was hurt. She saw the town hall in the distance and went faster.

              Ponies were gathered around everywhere. Ponies were crying, flailing around, gathered.

       "Move out of the way!!" Dash's words were more harsh then she meant for them to be as she pushed through the crowed. She finally made it to the front and looked around the edge of the crowd. Her friends were all there, looking less sad then the rest. What's going on? She thought.

      A pony hit her to the side and she turned and said "hey watch where you are stepping!" She blinked. It was two emergency ponies with a emergency bed, usually for the dead ponies they carried off. "No..." the words barely left he mouth when she looked up and saw, hanging from the town halls roof, was Scootaloo. A rope stiff around her neck, and blood trickling from her mouth. She was bruised and beaten and her front hoof was bent awkwardly, that it was obviously broken many times. Like she was pushed from somewhere, somewhere high. She shrieked and flew up towards the hanging filly, but was dragged down by two other Pegasus. She was to deeply in her crying, rebellious state to notice anything else but the note in the mayors hand as she was being dragged to the ground by the guards. Suicide was written in big bold letters.

           She thrashed in the guards hands, and then saw Twilight running towards her, and she blacked out, letting the pain, ,and shock take control.
