Chapter 15 - A Bad, Bad Bunny

Chicken Coop, Fluttershy's Cottage

Walking outside Fluttershy trotted her way over towards the chicken coop as she passed several animals on her trek there, Billy Goat bleated, Scout the Flamingo honked in excitement to see her, the Red and Bluejays tweeted happily and the Raccoon chittered as he scampered up into a nearby tree upon her arrival.

"Okay Everycreature, I'll get to you all in just a moment." Fluttershy said as she entered through the wired fence as she grabbed the bag of chicken feed sitting on it in her mouth as she walked inside the chicken coop. When Fluttershy entered the coop, everyhen was staring at her in anticipation as one of them clucked quite jovially, "Don't worry Filo, you know I wouldn't forget about you." Another hen clucked to her, "Oh, and you as well, Marilyn."

The rest of hens clucked as they saw her until Fluttershy had derisen the situation, "Elizabeak, Pippi, Clara, Donna. You'll all be getting your fill too, don't worry." She then trotted her way over to Elizabeak as she tipped the feedbag and poured the seedy content down to her as Elizabeak ate it. She clucked gleefully as Fluttershy made her way to feeding the rest of her hens.

Scootaloo's POV

As we were entering Ponyville, Angel started sprinting even faster as a voice called out my name, "Scootaloo, where are you? Your aunts are not going to be happy if they find out you've been galloping off again."

Angel Bunny catching the conversation started running closer to the souce of the noise as I sped up and caught him when she spotted me, "Scootaloo! There you are, I've been worried sick about you. What did you think you'd get from this little missy?" She looks down to spot him, "Oh hello little guy, what's your name?"

Angel chitters angrily struggling as I speak, "Angel, Ironically enough. This bunny is anything but so."

My Foalsitter, Lyra, speaks up, "Oh Scootaloo, I doubt such an adorable little bunny could cause too much trouble. Now come on, let him go and we can-" was all she spoke before Angel kicked me in the gut as I groaned in pain, releasing him as he hopped away into town.

Lyra's POV
Seeing her groan I spoke up in shock, "Scootaloo! Are you okay?"

She heaved before standing back up on her hooves, "Y-yeah I'm okay," Scootaloo growled," that little fuzzball is toast!" She attempted to run away before I pulled out a foreleg in front of her, "Hey! What gives?"

"I'm not letting you run off again, Scootaloo. I was asked to watch you and I'm very certain I'm not letting you out of my sight again."

Scootaloo spoke up, "But we need to track him! He's not just a wild animal, he's somepony's pet!"

I spoke in rebuttal, "I'm sure the owner will realize he's gone missing sooner or later, now come on Scootaloo. Your aunts asked me to do a bit off shopping for them while they're working and I know you must be hungry right?"

Our stomach's growled in unison, "And I guess I'm hungry as well, come on Scoots. I think I saw a Hayburger joint on my way here."

We then set our way towards the Hayburger near the Shopping District.

Fluttershy's POV
When I was making my way outside the hen house, Gabriel ran over to me as fast as his little Gopher feet could carry him as he panted, "Fluttershy! Angel is missing, we think he ran out the front door or something. Help!"

I gasped, "Well we have to go find him, he must be scared and confused!"

Rigby skittered down the nearby tree he was resting in when he spoke up, "I dunno, It hasn't been the first time he's done this before. I'm sure the little fuzzball is fine, Fluttershy."

"Well, I can't just leave him out there all alone, I have to find him!"

Margaret spoke up as she justled her feathers, "Oh come on now Rigby, have a heart once in a while would ya? Would it kill you to be a bit more sympathetic?"

"And since when has the fuzzball ever earned my sympathy? Remember when he kicked me in the face for 'standing too close' to him?"

I spoke up in defense, "Look, haven't we all made our fair share of regrettable actions? Maybe he's sorry?"

He laughed, "HA, that'll be the day. I'll eat my own foot if it comes to that."

Margaret sighed, "Even still, a pain or not, he's still just a little bunny who could never take care of himself alone. You know this, right Fluttershy?"

"Yes of course, thank you very much. I'll see you all later, bye everycreature."

They all shouted in unison, "Bye, Fluttershy!" As I headed my way outside to go look for Angel.
