Scootaloo's Reaction

Scootaloo burst into tears after hearing the story. Rainbow sniffed and gently put her hooves around her sister. Soarin wiped away a tear and said, "I'll leave you two alone for a while." So they talked for a little bit about Rainbow's nightmare.

Scoots said softly, "Are you okay?"

Rainbow replied, "Yeah, but I'm afraid of you dying."

Scoots felt terrible for her. "Aww, Rainbow, I know how you feel. I had a nightmare like this before. Fluttershy drowned you when she had a terrible temper. I saw it from a mountain."

Rainbow was shocked. "Really?"

Scootaloo couldn't believe she's never heard of that. "Of course. I love you, Rainbow!"

Rainbow was tearing up. "I love you too, Scoots!"

They hugged for a very long time as they sobbed quietly.

New Beginnings

Rainbow Dash wiped her tears away and said, "I'm moving back to Cloudsdale." Applejack and Rarity went to tell the other 3.  They were sad, but they didn't want to keep Rainbow from leaving her bad memories in Ponyville, so they said their goodbyes as Rainbow disappeared forever into the blue sky.

She missed her friends after a while and began to cry.

Rainbow said softly, "I wish all of them could fly."

All of a sudden, the other 5 began to float up to Cloudsdale. They were so happy when they saw Rainbow.

Rarity said, "We missed seeing your smiling face."

Soarin agreed. "Me too."

They all hugged and lived the rest of their days in Cloudsdale.

Rainbow was so happy to be with her friends. "I love you guys."

AJ replied, "We love ya too, Rainbow."

Rarity agreed. "I'm so glad we're here with you!"

Rainbow Dash was tearing up. She cried tears of joy as they all said goodbye to Ponyville.

The Nightmare

Rainbow Dash sees Scootaloo with the Shadowbolts, tied up and muzzled.

Rainbow was very angry. She yelled, "LEAVE HER ALONE!"

But the shadowbolts said, "Not until you join us."

Rainbow replied, "Never."

Scootaloo screams through the muzzle and tries to wriggle free from the rope. But the Shadowbolts grab hold of her and push her off a cliff. She falls to the bottom and gets many wounds. Rainbow Dash flies down to help her, but when she tries to get her attention she found out that she wasn't moving.

Rainbow Dash teared up. "Scootaloo?"

No answer.

Rainbow Dash started to cry. "Scootaloo, please wake up!"

No answer.

Rainbow Dash put her hoof over Scootaloo's mouth and felt no air. Then she knew her sister was dead.

Rainbow Dash started crying hard. "NO! WHY?!"

Rainbow Dash bursts into tears, laying her head on Scootaloo's stomach.

Rainbow Dash woke up, bawling her eyes out. Soarin tried to comfort her, but he couldn't. Scootaloo came running torwards her. "Oh my gosh, Rainbow, are you okay?!" That's when Rainbow Dash explained the whole thing.

The Tragedy

All of a sudden, they heard crying. It was Applejack.

Rainbow was incredibly shocked. "What's wrong?!"

AJ cried out, "Applebloom died!"

Scoots ccouldn't believe it. "WHAT?!"

AJ was speaking a little softer. "It's true...a storm hit the barn and she got struck by lightnin'...that's when her heart stopped beatin'."

Applejack burst into tears as Rainbow hugged her tight.

` Rainbow tried her best to calm her down. "Shhh...it's okay...soon you'll forget this ever happened."

AJ got even more upset. "HOW?! MY SISTER IS DEAD!"

Rainbow Dash began to cry as she hugged Applejack tighter.

Then they heard another voice that was also crying. It was Rarity. She said that a tornado killed Sweetie Belle.

Rainbow was as shocked as heck. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it!"

Rarity was crying hard. "I know! My poor little sister!"

Scootaloo didn't know what was going on. "How is this happening? Discord and Lord Tirek were killed too, so they can't be causing this ruckus!"

All of a sudden, rain was pounding on Scootaloo so hard it gave her plenty of wounds. The reason why: It wasn't rain, it was hail.

Scootaloo collapsed. Rainbow panicked.

"SCOOTALOO!"

Scootaloo wasn't moving, let alone breathing.

She was dead.

Rainbow, AJ, and Rarity hugged as they sobbed.

It was the worst thing they ever experienced.

Epilogue

Rainbow Dash read a letter that randomly flew into the sky. It read,

Dear Rainbow Dash,

If you are reading this I am dead. I knew all about this storm thing and I knew I was going to get struck by hail. I saw it fall from the sky when you were asleep. Luckily I was protected by the roof. When we were in Sugarcube Corner after AJ and Rarity came in I knew the roof wasn't strong enough to keep the hail out. Pinkie Pie survived, but she was badly hurt. Luckily Fluttershy took some time to care for her. I'm so sorry, Rainbow. If the storm hadn't come this whole thing wouldn't be happening. You poor thing. But no matter what, I'll always be with you.

Your little sister always,

Scootaloo

Rainbow Dash got tears of joy as Applejack hugged her.

AJ teared up. "Oh, Rainbow."

Rainbow replied, "I will cherish her forever."

Rainbow Dash put the letter in a safe place. She read it whenever she felt sad. It made her feel better. Scootaloo was right. They will always be sisters no matter what.

Rainbow whispered, "I love you, Scootaloo."

She went to where she buried Scootaloo in Cloudsdale and sat by the grave. She sang a soft song to her dead sister.

(Tune of "A True, True Friend")

"Oh, Scootaloo, I'll always love you,

No matter what, I will cherish you,

Oh, Scootaloo, I'll always love you,

My dear sister,

I will always be with you."

Rainbow fell asleep by the grave. She smiled as she remembered all the good times she had with Scootaloo.

AJ whispered, "She's so beautiful."

Rarity replied "I love her so much."

Soarin agreed. "Me too."

Rainbow Dash was loved by millions from then on.
