The Rainbow Factories New Recruit

When I got out the wagon I was a little bit shaky,  but i forced myself to stay calm and put a happy face on.

I trotted to Dinkys door. She answered.

She didnt look much different. She was taller, she had her cutie mark now. Nothing much, really. Her cutie mark is a wrench, and a knife.

Maybe she is good at cooking and engineering. I wouldn't know.

"Hey!" She says. Her voice is a tad different. She has a scottish accent.

"Hey! I havent seen you in a while!" I forced a smile.

"So, where have you been for a year?" She asked, she was always curious.

"Well, i passed my flight test, got a job, It has good pay." I replied.

"A-Actually-" I didnt want a conversation. I wanted to get this done and over with.

"I have this invivation. From my work. Its like, a bring your friend to work day. I wanted to take you."

"What about Applebloom and Sweetiebelle?" Oh dear Celestia, i thought, why did she had to bring THEM up.

"Oh...uhm..Didn't you not hear the news? They....tragically died in a freak storm a few months ago."

This was my cover up. I've always hated the guts out of them, i was just too busy being bullied by AppleBloom to notice that i hated Sweetie as well. Applebloom used to beat me black and blue every time Sweetie wasnt about. And Sweetie was too idiotic to notice, always ignoring the cuts and bruises and just saying "Oh Scoots, stop being so clumsy!".

Always not trusting me, her old best friend. Me, who was then the third wheel. I killed them. I killed them both with my bare hooves. So filled with rage i didnt actually think. Dash helped me with the cover up and the burning of the bodies. They're gone. Its my doing. They're gone.

"Oh..." She answered.

"Im...sorry to hear that."

Of course you are. Everyone was.

"Oh...its alright..im okay..... Soo... Will you come?"

I used my 'loss' to my advantage. She would say yes. She doesn't want to feel guilty.

"Sure! I'll come."

"It starts tomorrow. Heres the invitation." I passed it to her. She took it.

"Cya Scoot!"

I smiled. "Cya!"

I walked off around the corner to where the wagon was, I opened the door and laid down.

What was i thinking. How could i do this. WHY would i do this?

A million different thoughts raced through my head. I know i'd have to answer them somewhen. But for now, i will just lay my head down

and sleep.

And thats exactly what i did.
