*Fluttershy's P.O.V.*

Dear Diary,

It has been two months since the death of Scootaloo. I can't stop thinking of her, everything reminds me of her. Today, I'll go to Twilight's and ask her for a special spell. She'll agree right? Twilight would do anything for me, she's my best friend.

~Fluttershy

"Fluttershy, I know you love Scootaloo, but this is a bit much", Twilight said, reading the page in her book. "You want me to revive Scootaloo?!"

I sighed and nodded. It was hard enough waking up and not seeing her. But, when it's everyday for 60 days, you go crazy. I know I don't talk much about her, that's because I'm thinking about her everyday. She never deserved what happened. It was too sudden, she was with me for only two years. I found out Twilight had told Rainbow Dash about Scootaloo, and she told Rarity, then Rarity told Apple Jack, and so on my group of friends knew about Scootaloo.

After Scootaloo died my friends and sometimes more asked me questions about her. Where did she sleep, what did you do to keep her secret a secret, and stuff that I didn't want to share in the first place. But, I answered them anyway, just so they wouldn't bug me. I've been getting aggravated easily lately.

"I will have to think about this", Twilight said, shutting the book.

"Please?" I asked.

"Fluttershy, you know I feel sympathy for you, but you have to know when it's time to stop", Twilight said. "Scootaloo was just a filly that happened to show up at your door. You didn't give birth to her, she just appeared."

"Somepony wanted me to care for her", I protected myself. "And that was me."

"I understand that", Twilight said. "But what if Scootaloo was killed for a reason? What if somepony wanted her back, perhaps her parents?"

I got frustrated, and left. Is Twilight saying that Scootaloo isn't important? Of course she is! If I didn't care for Scootaloo, then who would've? No pony. I was most likely the only pony who would've taken care of Scootaloo.

*Twilight's P.O.V.*

Fluttershy obviously got upset with me, so she left. I decided to do some research on this spell she wanted me to cast. I never practiced on reviving, considering it would never come in handy. You don't expect in your training to revive a filly you only met three times. I flipped the page that I had bookmarked, and began reading.

When one puts others in front of them, this spell may or may not come in handy.

Without a doubt, there is no hope. Bring back this life of 'Centra', so I can cope!

The spell has been used by Princess Luna to revive her subjects only during the blackness of night, so Princess Celestia would not know.

I continued reading until the end of the page.

DO NOT CAST ON ONES WHO HAVE RECENTS DIED. YOU MUST WAIT UNTIL 300 MOONS TO CAST THE SPELL.

300 moons, that was six months! I groaned. I flipped through the pages, nothing else. This will be a long six months.

I grabbed some bits and I headed over to Sugar Cube Corner. I needed a cupcake right about now. I walked in, and ordered the cupcake of the day - Vanilla Cream. I grabbed a napkin after paying and sat on a stool next to a counter. Then, walking in slowly, was a colt. He had a cape covering his lower body, but his whole head showed. He had a dark blue mane with goggles pushing his mane back. It was Soarin from the Wonderbolts.

He ordered a Cupcake Pie, which I had no idea they had. He ordered it to go, tapping his hoof on the ground not so quietly. When Mrs. Cake gave him his pie, he threw his bits on the counter and didn't wait for the change. He flew out of the Shop, and took off into the sky.

Strange.

I finished eating, and headed back home. I had a full stomach. I never remember that the cupcakes at Sugar Cube Corner fill my stomach easily. I was stopped. By Soarin.

"Your highness", he said, gripping his pie while bowing.

"Greetings Soarin", I said.

"I have a question", Soarin whispered, looking around.

"Yes, what is it?" I asked impatiently.

"Do you know who killed the little filly Scootaloo?" he asked.

"No, were still searching", I said, looking at him suspiciously. He jumped from two hooves to another, like he had to go to the bathroom.

"I think I know who did it", Soarin whispered, looking to make sure no pony hears. "Spitfire."

"Why her?" I asked, kind of surprised.

"She's been coming to training really quiet, and one time she had blood on her hooves."

I nodded. "Maybe you should head back now, your pie will get cold."

He nodded, and took off to I don't know where.

How could Spitfire kill Scootaloo? She was too busy to be a Wonderbolt, she wouldn't stay in Ponyville to kill a filly for no reason. But maybe I should look into it. Spitfire did have some free time on her hooves, considering she was the Captain of the Wonderbolts. Time for an investigation, if I could ever fly all the way to the Academy in Rainbow Falls. My wings hurt already from practicing with Rainbow Dash.

If Spitfire did kill Scootaloo, why? Scootaloo never did anything, or went anywhere. Was it maybe Spitfire was Scootaloo's mother? Was it even possible? I'm pretty sure Soarin had too much Apple Cider. But, I had to investigate just in case he was right.
