''Sooo.... we are not good at makeing dresses, and sorry Sweetie Belle.'' scootaloo said, as the Three fillies made their way to the Club house. they had tried to make dresses ( Sweetie's choice) but instead they almost ruined Rarity's next line. Sweetie belle was alomst grounded for a week, when her friends said nothing happend. and that was true, the dresses was not ruined, but almost. she still got a lot of trouble for it.
''Its fine, I just... forget it, its over now.'' she said With a sad tone. ''Maybe one of you have something to do?'' she asked.
Apple Bloom shook her head. ''No, I don't have eny more chores.''
Scootaloo was about to say something when a shadow came over them.
Down from the sky Rainbow dash laned. ''Hi, what you up to?'' she asked. ''Let me Guess! you are trying to get Your cutie mark. right?'' she knew that was almost all they did.
''yeah... eny idea?'' Apple Bloom asked. for once Scootaloo was not trying to be cool around Rainbow. she just stood their.
''hmmm... sorry, but what about-'' Rainbow was stopped mid sentence by Scootaloo.
''Sorry Girls. Its getting late,I better get going.'' she said running off.
''Where is she going?'' Rainbow asked the two fillies. they looked at each other and then back to Rainbow.
''We do not know, she goes off sometimes, but she never tell where.'' Sweetie said.
''And now was stange, she would be all cool around you, not just run off.'' Bloom said.
''Well why don't we find out? like for you two it will be. 'cutie mark crusaders, detective' that would be cool.'' Rainbow started flapping her wings but not takeing off. she turned her back, hinting to them to get on.
the two fillies smiled and jumped on to Rainbows back.
Scootaloo walked Down a old road. it was sceary around this parts. but she knew it was nothing to fear, because their was a pony who would not let enything happend to her. like a mother would do.
she walked til she came to big gate. the gate was huge With black bars. on the top was two black pony angels. she was tiny enough to fit in beetween the bars. she looked around to make sure nopony was after her. but it was.
in some bushes not far away was Three ponys. a pegasus mare, an Earth pony filliy and a unicorn filliy.
''why would Scootaloo come here? I mean this is the grav-'' Apple Bloom was cut off as Rainbow took her hoof over her mouth. With her other hoof she ponited at the steet.
a hooded pony was walking to the graveyard. they could not see who this pony was, but the pony had a long black cape, witch coverd the hole body. out of the head, their was a basket. the pony was takeing something to the graves. flowers maybe? NO. the basked smelled something. it may be Food. the pony's breathing was easy to see in the dark and Cold grave road.
the Three in the bush looked a little sceard at the hooded pony. it was on the same road as little Scootaloo just walked.
the hooded pony came to the gate, looking at it for a little while. *sigh* came as could of Cold air came out of the head Hood. the pony took a hoof out of the cape and took something out of the basket. the pony's hoof was Orange like the sundown. when the pony's hoof got out of the basket, it held something. A key. putting the key in the Lock. it opend the gate. the big gate creaked loud, some ravens was sceard and flew away, the pony looked up at the birds walking inside locking the gate behind it.
''that-is it.... we have to save scootaloo.'' sweetie whisperd, looking worried at Rainbow and Bloom.
''yes, who know what that pony will do.'' Rainbow said rising from the bush. sweetie and Bloom jumped on her back, and Rainbow took off.
''Ok, I take the pony, and you save Scoots.'' Rainbow said flying over the gate.
some distance away from the gate, by two grave stones. set a little Orange filliy. waiting for her friend.
''you got here before me, guessing Wild, something happend?'' the hooded pony said not far away from Scootaloo. she turned and faced the hooded one.
''yes, I had to go before my friends would start a New crusaid.'' she said walking up to the pony hugging its leg.
the hooded pony took off the Hood longer behind. showing her face. reviling Applejack.
''ok, so how you been?'' she asked sitting Down. scootaloo joined beside her. she took her hoofs around Applejack hugging her. from behind Applejack could not be seen as who she was.
''Im fine, but its hard, and Im hungry and Cold.'' she looked at applejacks face. applejack looked Down at the little filly With a smile.
she took the basket With her hoof. takeing out a blanked, five warm apple fritter and a lantern. Applejack wraped Scootaloo in the blanked and placeing the plate before her. the lanter she turned on. giving a little light as now the sun went Down behind the hills. and the moon starting to show. the darkness stared make the Cold air, colder.
''thanks Applejack.'' Scootaloo was getting warmer, of the warm Food and the hug. she did not let go of Applejack. she was like a mother to her. just like she was a mother to Apple Bloom. ''I wish you could stay here.'' she whisper.
''Me too, sugercube. but I got to know one thing. if I may ask, how did Your parents die?''
Scootaloo was taken back a bit, this did hurt her. but she knew she could trust Applejack. ''They died from a sickness. I don't remember what the name but, it was Deadly. I was at the hospital, both my parents were sick. I was't allowed to see them, just in case I could get the sickness. so the doctor did't risk it. but the day I woke up in the hospital, the doctor came to me. he said he was sorry, they had done everything they could but it was't enough. they died.'' she began crying, the memory flashing before her eyes. when the doctor said the sad News.
''Im sorry.'' Applejack said hugging Scootaloo Close. she could feel the tears of the filly stream Down her cheek and onto her fur. ''shhh... its okay. Im here. and I know what you feel.''
scootaloo looked up at Applejack a little shocked ''wha-what... h-how come...'' she sobbed while speaking.
''you blame yourself, I feel it. you were't there to help them. I know that feeling.'' she said looking deep into the little flame of the candel.
''h-how...do you... kn-know?'' it was hard to speak while crying. but it was true. she blamed herself for their Death. sho should have helped them.
Applejack did't take her eyes of the light as the memory of the day she lost her parents. ''me, ma and pa. had been on a delivery on the other side of the Elderfree forest. we was almost out and back home. when we were attacked. a Group of four timberwolfs came out of the forest. Pa said 'Run, I will come. RUN!' I was sceard, frozen. Ma took me on her back and ran toward the edge of the forest. but her hoof got stuck in a root. I fell off her back, she told me 'RUN! applejack, I will come. I promise!' I did't want to leave, so I run toward her. helping her With the root. she was a bit shocked, but I could't just leave her like that. we got her hoof free, but it was too late. the wolfes came, my Ma had somehow broken her hoof by the root. she told me once again 'RUN!' but I did't. I tryed to help her up, but it was useless. the wolfes came closer. when a shadow fell over me. I looked up. the timberwolf used his claw and threw me into a tree, I fell into a bush under the tre. I broke some of my bones. but I got my head out of the bush just in time to see, the wolfes opend my mom, right infront of me. then another came With my Pa in its mouth. he was dead. my mom screamed 'Applejack RUN!!' before she died as well. I was weak, but if I had been there I would have died. I manage to get home. but the memory of to see my Ma and Pa dead like that, is something that will haunt me forever. I stared blameing myself, for beeing weak, useless, I even tryed to kill myself, drowning. but I was taken to the hospital, before I died. I didt have strength again. and as I grew up, I learnd to fight, and one day I would revange my parents.'' tears began to roll Down her cheek. after that day, she had killed timberwolfes like it was nothing.
''that was even worse than mine, Im sorry Applejack.'' Scootaloo manage to get out. she felt sorry for Applejack who had seen her mother been opened righ infront of her.
''I know, but I got over it, I had to. I am still hurt, think of it like this. 'they watch you from the sky, and will always protect you.' remember that.'' Applejack said hugging her.
''I will.'' Scootaloo said hugging back.
''Ready?'' Rainbow asked as the Three of them was hidden in bush not far away, they did't hear eny of it or see eny of it. all they knew was that (well they tought) Scootaloo was in danger.
''yes'' the two fillys said.
''1....2.....3'' Rainbow (whisper-shout)
the two that sat infront of the little light did't see Rainbow fly right into Applejack, she was still hooded by head. Scootaloo yelped as she saw Rainbow tackle Applejack e ground.
''Rainbow dash what are you doing?!'' scootaloo shouted.
Sweetie and Bloom ran out of the bush grabbing Scootaloo, and dragging her away. Scootaloo fighted tough.
''Im- We are saveing you from this pony!'' Rainbow shouted.
''Stop! its Applejack!'' Scootaloo cried as got out of Sweetie and blooms hooves.
she ran up to Applejack helping her off, after pulling Rainbow away.
''what!? Applejack is home.'' Bloom said running after Scoots.
''urgh...wha? Apple Bloom? what are you doing here?'' Applejack said, takein the Hood off.
''ops, sorry AJ. I- we tought you were someone dangerus.'' rainbow apolegized.
''its okay, but what are you doing here?'' she asked calm, even if she had a lot of rage in her.
''we tought you were going to hurt scoots. sorry, but what are you doing here?'' sweetie said.
''we do this sometimes, I help Scootaloo get over the fact tha-'' Applejack was stoped by a little hoof on her mouth.
''Applejack dont. plis, I can tell'' Scootaloo said, just low enought to only Applejack to hear. Applejack smiled and nodded.
''Applejack here, is more than enything. I feel like I have a mother again. my real mom died from sickness. Applejack has always been their when I need to talk. she is like my second mother. and thank you Applejack.'' Scootaloo said as happy tears come from her eyes.
Applejack smiled. ''I will always be here for you sugercube. all you have to do is ask.'' With that said. Scootaloo hugged Applejack like the last time she hugged her real mom.
some time later, Applejack become Scootaloo's mom. And Scootaloo was so happy. she had been giving a New chance With a mother that loved her as much as she loved her. Applejack would always have time for Scootaloo, now that she was familiy. Scootaloo and Applejack helped each other on the day their parents died. Bloom and scoots became closer, Learning each other New Things, and they became like sisters. Applejack said that Scootaloo will not be eny different from the others, she would be treated like one of the siblings. not an adopted child. she felt like Family just a week after staying With them. it was hard work, but she helped Apple Bloom With her chores, so Scootaloo could get an easy start (and til Applejack could make a daily list for her as well)

Author's Note
*headcannon Warning*
Big Mac and Apple Bloom. (in my head) is not as sad over the fact that their parents are dead. the reason Applejack take it harder is.... she was closer to them. Im not saying that Mac and Bloom, was sad, but they was't there. they did't see their mother's belly wide open. or their father hanging from the timberwolf's mouth. so AJ took it harder. Mac and Bloom was sad to. but they came over it faster than Applejack.
