Flower Hurricane

The next morning, Scootaloo woke up and saw the blanket that was wrapped around her. She gasped, having thought that the night before was a dream, but it appeared that she was wrong. She carefully pulled the blanket off of her and walked into the kitchen, intending to make breakfast for Cheerilee for helping her.

She pulled a stool out and hopped onto it, holding onto the side with her hooves. She grabbed some bread first, carefully placed it into the toaster and set it going. She, then, grabbed a can of beans. Poured it into a jug that she grabbed out of the sink and placed it into the microwave.

She smiled, hopped off the stool and ran to the sink. She reached up and grabbed a plate from the pale pink draining board. She smiled, the plate was white with a pattern of flowers on it. She carefully carried the plate to the other side of the room, hopped onto the stool and put the plate down.

The toaster clicked as the toasted bread popped out. The filly grabbed them, put them on the plate, grabbed the butter and the knife that was in it and carefully buttered the toast. The microwave went off signaling the beans were cooked. Scootaloo reached for the door, carefully opened it, pulled out the jug, and carefully layered the beans over the toast.

She clapped her hooves and smiled at her handiwork. Carefully, she grabbed a tray, placed the plate on it, grabbed a vase of flowers, and placed it next to the plate. She reached out, grabbed a few cloths and placed them on the tray as well. She darted to the draining board with the tray on her back. She grabbed a knife and fork and placed them carefully next to the plate.

''All set.''

She carried the tray upstairs and into the bedroom where Cheerilee was sleeping. She carefully placed the tray on the side-table and walked over to the window, pulling open the curtain, shining the light through the window and into the room.

The sudden lighting caused Cheerilee to open her eyes and see the smiling filly and the tray. She smiled, picked up the tray, and laid it on the bed in front of her.

''Thank you, Scootaloo.''

''Y-your welcome, Miss Cheerilee.''

Cheerilee smiled and began to eat when a knock was heard on the door. Scootaloo's ears perked at the noise, probably scared that it was the 'adoption' center owner. But she soon was at the window and saw that it was just the mailmare, Derpy Hooves and her daughter, Dinky Doo Hooves.

''I will get it!''

The moment that Scootaloo said that, she was out of the room before Cheerilee could stop her. Cheerilee smiled and shook her head, Scootaloo had been through enough and if she wanted to help, let her.

The little pegasus ran to the cottage door and carefully opened it to see the grey, cross-eyed pegasus carrying her daughter on her back. Derpy's face turned into confusion when she saw Scootaloo but chose to ignore it.

''Here, a letter for Cheerilee. And Scootaloo?''

Scootaloo took the letter, placing it on her back when she heard her name.

''Yes, Derpy?''

''I have a letter for you, from Dream Song and Dream Catch.''

''How did they....''

She shook her head, took the second letter and walked upstairs. Not smiling or frowning, more like confusion and worry. Cheerilee saw the filly come into the room and was about to ask when she saw the filly reading a letter.

Dear Scootaloo.

We're sorry that we didn't come to meet you after you ran away. This is because Miss Dark Tides upgraded the beating, mainly on us for helping you escape. Right now...We're in hospital. I have a broken horn, and Catch has a missing wing and his other wing is bent badly.

Please come see us soon. We miss you and we wanna know how you managed to make it all this time. We're deeply sorry.

Your friend, Song

Scootaloo's eyes welled up in tears of shook and worry. Worry marred Cheerilee's face when she saw the filly with tear filled eyes.

''What's it say?''

''C-Catch...and S-Song....are in the hospital!''

She burst out crying after saying that one line, causing Cheerilee to get out of bed and to hug the filly in a comfort embrace.

''Shh! It's okay.''

But the filly's tears didn't stop, Cheerilee knew they wouldn't anyway, but now she had more things on her plate. She had to get Scootaloo to the hospital to meet her friends and she had to talk with Princess Twilight about what she should do.
