Scootaloo made one friend at School, Dinky. She was made fun of because her mom was Derpy Hooves, the pony with crossed eyes. It wasn't Dinky's fault for her mother's eyes, neither was it Derpy's. But, Scootaloo and Dinky became friends instantly.

"Alright class, today we will have a project! Do not worry, it's easy", the substitute - Miss. Twilight Sparkle - said to the class. "Today you will write about one pony in Ponyville. Pinkie Pie, Bon Bon, or even me!"

The class began writing, and Scootaloo just sat and stared at her blank piece of paper. She knew no one except Fluttershy and Twilight. She knew ponies would do her, considering she was a Princess. But she couldn't do Fluttershy, because then she would go into her finding Scootaloo. So, when time was up, the class handed in their papers as the bell rang for the end of the day. Twilight excused Scootaloo, and she ran out of the school-house. Dinky waited at the beginning of the path.

"I'm so excited for this playdate!" Dinky said, smiling. She had her saddlebag around her back, holding all her stuff.

Scootaloo smiled. "I can't wait for you to meet my mom."

But then, that annoying chant that everypony said was heard - very loudly. The very chant that had caused Scootaloo to have punched one singular pony In the snout. Silver Spoon.

"Scoot, Scoot, Scootaloo!" she yelled, trotting behind the two fillies. She got up to them, and slowed her pace to walk with them.

"Hello Chicken, and hello Cross-Eyed", Silver Spoon smirked.

"Leave us alone", Dinky said, whacking Silver Spoon but missed.

"Aww, is Cross-Eyed tired?" Silver Spoon pouted.

Scootaloo stopped in her tracks. "How about you stop and pick on somepony who is as cruel as you? Oh wait, there is no other pony like that."

She continued walking with Dinky, and Silver Spoon hung back.

"Scoot, Scoot, Scootaloo!" she yelled, before running back to the school-house.

"Hello Dinky", Fluttershy said, letting the two fillies in. Dinky carefully placed her saddlebag near the door, then followed Scootaloo. She showed Dinky her room, and she liked it.

"It's a bit small though", Dinky said.

"Yea, I know", Scootaloo said, awkwardly sitting on the floor. "But, it's nice to have your own room."

Throughout the day Scootaloo and Dinky played together. But at sunset, Dinky walked home with her saddlebag. Scootaloo waved, and headed inside.

"Scootaloo, what's this?" Fluttershy said, holding up a plastic bag. It contained Scootaloo's things. Her pillow, some food, clothes, etc.

"I don't know", Scootaloo said, shrugging. Fluttershy placed the bag on the kitchen counter, and flew into her room.

Scootaloo quickly took the bag to her room. Fluttershy had made Scootaloo her own door in the kitchen, that led to her room. She left the bag under her bed, then quickly ran into the kitchen like nothing happened. Fluttershy made dinner - Grass Sandwiches - then said goodnight to Scootaloo. Scootaloo began reading her book in the kitchen with her little light on that was also a bookmark.

"Come on, just go to bed." Scootaloo thought. When she heard snoring, she began writing. A note.

Scootaloo peeked in Fluttershy's room, and she peacefully slept in the dark - while snoring. Scootaloo left the note on the door, with a piece of tape on the top. She grabbed her bag, and opened the door for her body to slip through. She closed it very slowly, and took off toward the town that she had heard Fluttershy call Ponyville.

Princess Celestia finally rose the sun. Scootaloo had camped behind a building. She retrieved all of her belongings, and placed them in the bag. She began walking through the town, noticing ponies do their daily things. Never - had she seen something this pretty. Flowers laid next to houses, and workers came in and out their buildings. Scootaloo, felt free. She turned a corner, to a darkened path. Barrels and trash laid next to doors. Scootaloo looked around. But, before she could turn back to the brightened part of the town, and hoof covered her mouth. Scootaloo screamed in terror, but the hoof covered her noise. The pony dragged Scootaloo into the shadows, and took her to a darkened place nopony would ever go.

"Good morning Scootaloo", Fluttershy said, walking in the kitchen, but stopped in terror. She opened Scootaloo's door, and her form was missing.

"Scootaloo!?" Fluttershy yelled. She began running around her house, calling for her. Scootaloo was gone, and it was her fault. She had lost her only reason to live. The baby bird had died, Angel was visiting his old home, Fluttershy was alone. Scootaloo was gone. She turned her head to the door, which had a note flapping in the wind. She yanked the note off, and read it.

Dear mom,

I know you don't want me to leave the house except for School. Don't worry, I'll still go to school. But, I want to venture out into the town, be my own pony. I don't want to be crammed in a walk-in closet excuse for a room. I want to be free. Hopefully you'll see me up in the sky one day.

Signed,
Scootaloo

Fluttershy fell to the floor, crying. She gripped the note against her chest, and sobbed. Scootaloo was gone. She had to find her.

Fluttershy got up, and gripped the note in her hoof. She flew to Twilight's castle, and began telling her everything.

"She's gone!" Fluttershy finished, showing Twilight the note and crying.

"Scootaloo couldn't have gone to far, she doesn't even know the town!" Twilight said.

But Scootaloo was very far from the town, and the place was very out of Fluttershy's comfort zone.

The Everfree Forest.

The place where all things live on their own, where creatures are not tamed, where Scootaloo was imprisoned. And, she had made one big mistake leaving the Cottage.
