Bright Rainbow

I woke up in a cloud bed. Why do I not sound surprised this is why.  EVERYTHING IS CLOUD!. The walls, The door, the pictures, The TV- wait theirs TV here? I hopped off the bed and stumbled my way out the cloud door. Making a right I found a long hallway  with many pictures on the walls. They were pictures of Rainbow Dash as a kid to a teenager . I looked at them as I made my way down the hall. At the end of the hall were stairs and one last photo that caught my attention.

It was a present Rainbow with a little orange Pegasus and a pale blue male one with navy blue hair. I continued to stare at it until I felt a pair of hooves pick me up off the ground and onto it's back giving me a view of a familiar head of rainbow hair.

"That's my coltfriend Soarin and my daughter Sunset flame. But she'd rather you call her Scootaloo" Rainbow said smiling at the photo. I haven't watch the show in years but I was sure none of them had kids. My thoughts were answered when my eyes fell on a cut out of a news paper.

DAUGHTER AND MOTHER REUNITED AFTER ALMOST SIX YEARS

Equestria's element of loyalty and the scooter rider of the filly trio who held the ponyville flag in last year's Equestria games had the biggest secret ponies will ever hear in their past. Rainbow Dash a teenage mother who lost her own daughter in a custody battle against the father seven years ago. Who would have known that the pair would be found in the same town and be so close to never have known who each other were...

"How Scootaloo got separated from yellow flame is still a mystery to all of us. Don't worry about it. It's not really your concern. besides, it's all in the past" Rainbow said noticing my confused look.

She waved her hoof motioning me to follow her. She trotted down the stairs with ease. Crap! how do I get down without breaking my face... again. I put my left hoof on the first step and instantly found my self falling forward. I caught my self by buzzing my wings but I lost my balance on my other three hooves sending myself tumbling down the stairs. When I hit the bottom, my head hit the stair post. I touched my head and instantly winced. On my hoof was blood. I felt like crying. Which I did. Rainbow came rushing back into the room.

"What happened" She asked picking me up cradling me.

I pointed at the stair post until she put two and two together

"Let's get you a bandage, cut doesn't look too bad" She said.

She carried me to the bathroom of the house and put me on the counter. Opening the cabinet she pulled out a box of band-aids and a brown bottle of liquid. She took up a cloth and poured the liquid on it and held it up to my head standing on her hind legs and leaning on the counter. After about twenty seconds she gave my cut a few more dabs before setting the rag down in the sink. She grabbed a band-aid from the box and placed it on my head.

"Nice and snug" She said touching the band-aid.

"Thank you mommy-" I covered my mouth.

Rainbow smirked an ruffled my hair.

"No need to worry. It's normal for- how old are you?" She asked.

I shrugged.

"Well looks like a visit to princess egg head" RD says pulling me onto her back once again.

She opens the front door and stands for a while. I just now noticed how high the house is.

"Are you afraid of heights?" She asks.

"No?" I answer back confused.

'Why would she nEEEEEEEEEEED' I was pulled out of my thoughts When Rainbow jumped off the porch of the house and started spiraling down.

I was gripping onto her hair so hard I thought it was going rip off. Seconds before we hit the ground. She pulls up. I hear a loud explosion and turn my head to see a HUGE circle of the rainbow. It continued to spread out until it disappeared. I't made me feel better some how. I loosened my grip on my mother's hair and opened my arms a bit. Yes I know I said mother but it doesn't really matter.

"Hey do you trust me" She asked me.

I nodded as she pulled me down from her back and left me swinging with her hooves loosely rapped around my torso.

"Spread your wings and let the wind carry you" I did what she said.

I loved the feeling I looked up to ask Dash what it was but she wasn't there. Something soft hit the side of my face. It felt like a handful of feathers I looked to my right and Dash was flying there with a piece of cloud molded into a ball in her hoof. She flies back over and places me back on her head. She lands somewhere with out me noticing at something that looks like a house that is a tree.

"The test results are back Rainbow" Twilight says

I wasn't really listening to anything since we walked through the door.

"So what is the age" She asked.

Twilight Pushes a button on the machine I was currently on. A bunch of papers spew out filling the library floors, at least it looks like a library but It looks more like a castle. Rainbow was about to say something but the machine started up again. It was running for a while before one small paper came out. Twilight levitated the paper up to her face before placing it back down on the floor.

"So?" Rainbow asked again.

"You better start fixing up your guest room to be fit for a four year old" Twi says.

I don't know what happened next because  I passed out.

___________________________________________

   I was back on the cloud bed in the same room I was in this morning. I had just woken up from when I passed out in twilight's library. I'm still shocked that I am only four years old. What do four year old foals do. Will I be able to go on adventures, Be independent, Not be babied. I was so busy thinking I didn't even notice the note on the pillow next to me. I leaned over and read it.

' Emergency down at the castle will be back tonight Scootaloo should be home soon~ Dashie'

So i'm home alone. I got up from the bed and went out into the hallway. Walking down it I found the stairs I fell down earlier. I can't stay up here for the rest of my life. I slowly turned my body around and placed my left back hoof on the first step then my right followed by my front legs. I continued like this until I made it to the last step.

I trotted into a room with a fridge (made of clouds) and a table (again made of clouds i think you get the point). Walking deeper into the room my stomach growled. How would I manage to feed my self? What can I eat anyway?

I walk up to the fridge and stand on my hind legs. I give the door a hard pull and it flies open. But the fridge's contents fly out with it falling on my. A couple of glass jars fall and smash on the ground. Sounds of hooves beating on the steps could be heard.

A orange pony with short purple hair slid into the kitchen with a panicked expression on her face. When she saw that it was me she sighs in relief. It was soon replaced with a bored yet annoyed look.

"Oh it's you. Thanks for more chores" She said as she shrugged passed me and grabbed the broom and began to sweep up the glass.

The doorbell rang and a big smile was plastered on her face. She zoomed out of the kitchen to the doorway. I followed behind her and as soon as the door opened she was trampled by two others.

"HEY SCOOTS" says the two.

One was a white pony with hair that looked like a big curl of purple and pink cotton candy. The other one was yellow with red hair and a giant pink bow in her hair.

"Are you guys ready for a day of crusading!" Scoot yells.

The two mystery ponies nod. The white one looks at me and nudges the other two.

"Who's that scootaloo?" She questions.

"That's not important. She's just staying with us for a while, anyway lets g-"

"Scoot we can't jus leave her" The yellow one says.

The white one pops up behind me some how and hugs me.

"Awww she's soooooo cute! We should let her join the crusaders" Says Cotton candy.

"Sweetie belle she's a foal she can't even get her cutie mark yet" Scootaloo objects.

"Maybe she can be the future crusader leader. We have our marks already, why not continue the legacy of the CMC" says the red head.

"Fine" Scoots says her ears going flat.

"Lets go to sugar cube corner" suggested Sweetie

"We already looked there" Scoot says

"How about we go jus for a treat" Apple bloom says.

Before Scootaloo could object the two ponies dragged me out of the house.
