That fucking holding cell.... Spent most of my time on the floor near the toilet. Stayed there just incase I needed to puke at the thought of what I saw and did. I felt like shit that night after what I had went through. Glad I had Big Mac tell you what he went through yesterday? Trust me it've been me pleading with guards to speak with Shining Armor, or to give me another call that I could work for. Not to mention I'd be puking my guts out four times each hour after I tried eating something. It wasn't really late at night but I was tired. Crying all morning and tossing my cookies here and there. I tried taking naps but I'd wake up screaming having dreamt I had the barrel of Big Mac's shotgun in my face that night. Berrie wasn't around. Nor was Applejack. I tried running but heard the cock of the shotgun, next thing you know I get shot which actually wasn't why I wake up. It was what I saw before I woke up. I saw my parents dead in front of me with Scootaloo screaming for them to wake up. Big Mac walks up, clears the chamber and puts her out of her misery. I got up from the floor and hobbled to the door I was behind. Heavy and made of metal. Guards patrolled cells making sure everything was alright. With me nothing was alright. My mood, my stomach or even my sense of security. I knocked on the shatterproof and bullet proof glass window next to the door just as a guard past he looked at me and I motioned I needed something to drink. Saw him roll his eyes at me. "...Well fuck you too..." I said to myself as he turned and walked away.

The guard returned moment later with a plastic cup of water that he put through a hole in the door. "Here. Stomach problems since you came in." He said. "Wouldn't wish this on anyone to where they can barely keep anything down. Wouldn't even think someone like you would be that broken up about being arrested." I sighed taking the water shakily.

"...That's half of it..." I said. "...Left my sister alone out there... That's why I hate it in here... The other half... What I saw... What I did... I... I killed a mare... I killed her to protect my friends... I've never done that before..." The guard sighed as I sipped my water.

"You must be the guy who did the kill at Sweet Apple Acres. Substitute teacher. Who knew?"

"...I did... I knew.. She was... She was so close to my little sister... If I didn't work so late and my sister was at home... She could've been in the crossfire... Not to mention that sub was my ex... Told me... She did it for me.... For her and I... I didn't want anything to do with her..." I looked at the guard. "...Can you please give me another call please? I need to have my sister know I'm okay!" The guard shook his head.

"Sorry. Cant do that. But I'm sure your parents can tell her." I gave the guard a frightened look and turned away.

"...No... No they cant... Who do you think the two bodies were where I was picked up at...? Those WERE our parents! That fucking guard tried taking MY sister! MY only immediate family now!" I started to cry immediately. "...Why the fuck do you think I punched him? It was to keep my sister out of foster care and still be with her friends! I gave up my freedom so she could have hers!" The guard just looked at me shocked and afraid. "...Just go... Leave me here.... " The guard nodded and left me alone as I collapsed on the floor. Drank the rest of my water and passed out. Stayed out of it. No nightmare. No screaming waking up. Not even a guard to bang on my door just to spite me or make me lose sleep. I slept through the night but woke up to the smell of my breakfast which was served inside a Styrofoam container.

"Breakfast time Ryder!" A guard said. Guard sounded a bit familiar. I got up rubbing my eyes feeling like I could go back down at any second. As I looked up I saw Shining in my cell sitting on the bench where I was supposed to be sleeping. He had a humble smile on his face with my breakfast open and ready for me. A warm grilled cheese sandwich, side of some soup with a can of ginger ale. He gave me the can of ginger ale as I climbed up onto the bench. "...Good to see a familiar face huh?" I gave a nod.

"Yeah... About time I get someone to fucking talk to..." I said. "...Wonder if it was through those thick skulls those guards have..." He laughed and sighed a bit.

"Some guards do have thick skulls but that's not why I'm here." He replied. "I'm here to talk with you. To see what's going on in that brain of yours before what happened. And don't start with that whole cliché beginning of the universe crap. Heard it too many times." I nodded and took a deep breath.

"...Can I ask a question first...? Please?" Shining nodded. "...Do you think after I tell you... I might be able to call Dash to check on Scootaloo? Please...?"

"It's against protocol but.... I'll see what I can do okay? Now what happened?"

"...Well... I just... I was at lunch, I knew I was gonna be late to pick Scoot up so... Called up Rarity, had her pick her up... I texted my dad and... I think Berrie just wasn't there yet... When I got off work I was going to Sweet Apple Acres to get AJ for a date.... Saw Berries car come from my street and paid no mind... Didn't even know it was her or what was going on.... Basically followed her up to the house... Once I saw the gun she had I got out and tackled her starting to beat the crap out of her... As I said before I didn't know it was her... Well... Until Big Mac opened the door and had us staring down the barrel of his gun... Berrie told me she killed my parents because they were getting in the way of her and I but there was nothing between us... She was trying to kill AJ too but when I knocked her down the gun fell out of her hand and it went off... Only two in the clip, one in the chamber... Two used, one at the ready... But when she told me that I flipped... Saw nothing but red... I didn't know if she were joking or not but... I wasn't taking any chances... Glad I didn't take the chance... She did... But... I was too late for Scootaloo... When I got to my place Scoot was being held by her friends... Rarity did nothing to stop me from looking at the horror... I just didn't know what to think but... Just saw the guard taking Scoot as she screamed for me... I just... I gave the guard a punch and picked her up not even wanting to be close to letting her go but.... He just... The guard put me in a headlock like he was going to break my neck... I told him to let my sister go..."

"Wait so this guard that tried taking your sister threatened to break your neck?!" I hesitantly nodded. "Now that is STRICTLY against protocol, worse than what I could do! I have a report of all the guards that went to that call on your house and I can find out who did that. That was no way to deal with an innocent man!" I gave a gasp and a smile. "You sit here and finish up the meal, I'll deal with this okay?" I nodded and continued to eat my food. Took it slow cuz I didn't wanna over fill and lose it all. After a while Shining had me in handcuffs as we walked down the hall. I wanted to ask but he was on the phone with someone. "Yes. Yeah I know it's against protocol but at least give him a chance! He's got no job at the moment since he got fired from the local bakery since well... They don't wanna employ criminals but He isn't a criminal he was just scared and confused. You wanna talk with him? Alright but you're going to have to wait a moment. Walking through the halls right now and I need to get him to a private area for a quick call. Yes. Yes. Okay fine if he does that then can we drop the charges? Uhuh... Well okay. Speak with you soon." He hung up the phone and looked to me.

"So? What's going on?" I asked. He didn't answer. He didn't say anything until we got into what looked to be an empty meeting room with a table and two chairs. It was an interrogation room but not the kind you see on TV. He disconnected the camera which made me a teeny bit scared. Although friends don't hurt friends... Most of the time... (That's right I'm talking about that headbutt to KO Big Mac). He looked to me as he turned me around and unlocked the handcuffs.

"Alright... You sit down, I dial up Dash and then i'll tell you what that call was about. Okay?" I nodded and sat in one of the chairs. He pulled his phone from his pocket sitting into the chair near me. I think he had Dash's contact number just in case his sister's phone was dead and he was trying to reach her. Not only that but he gave me the phone real quick.

I put the phone up to my ear and grew excited as it buzzed. Then it clicked and I nearly fainted. "Shining? Twi's phone should be on considering I'M WITH HER NOW!" Dash yelled in my ear. "Fuck if you wanted to talk with her just hang up and call her!"

"Dash! I'm NOT hanging up!" I said. The phone fell silent. "...A-are you there Dash? It's Ryder. Please! Answer me!" Two beeps from the phone. Fucking call dropped. I set the phone down and put my head down like a kid taking a nap in class. Shining took his phone and sighed.

"Want me to call my sister? Might be easier if we do that." I gave a nod and Shining did the same thing. Except this time he put the phone on speakerphone. We heard the buzzes loud and clear before a click. "Twily? You're with Dash right now right?"

A sigh was heard. "Yes Shining." A mares voice said. Twilight. Princess of Ponyville although she's very not important to the story. "What do you need? Is it having to do with Scootaloo? I've already given her a bit of time with The Wonderbolts yesterday. What more do you want?"

"Well yeah it kinda does have to do with Scootaloo. Is she around?" He asked.

"Yes she's sitting with Spitfire eating an Ice cream. Why?"

"Well I need to talk with her right now. It's important!"

Twilight grunted and started walking with the phone. I could hear Dash and a few others asking what was going on but just barely. I hear a few doors open come with some more talking about flying and stuff. Then I hear sniffling and some light sobbing. "...H-hello...?" A filly said. Scootaloo. Shining motioned to me to say something but... I just didn't want to just say something... I just wanted to hold her and speak with her. "...Is... Is anyone there...? Hello...?" Shining sighed.

"Hey there Scoot. It's Shining, Twilight's older brother." He said. "I got someone here who wants to speak with you!" He looked to me but I had tears in my eyes. I was gonna say something but I couldn't. I just... I broke down okay?! I wanted to talk with my sister but I fucked up! "....And there he goes crying.."

"...Is that Ryder...?" Scoot asked. "...Ryder? Ryder... Please... If that's you please answer me... I miss you... I... I want you here...." Shining punched me in the arm and pointed to the phone.

I sniffled a bit. "...Scoot...." I said. "...I... I'm sorry... I just... I needed to save you... I didn't want you being separated from me or your friends... But... Look where that got me.... I'm sitting in jail.... You... You are okay right...?" I heard a weak but audible 'mmhmm'.

"...I... I had an accident last night... I... I cant believe someone would do that to mommy and daddy..." She replied.

"...I know who did it but... I just wanna say... I'm glad I didn't pick you up from school... That pony who did it could've.... You know... I'm... I...." That's when I just fell onto the floor curling up in a little ball. Shining picked his phone up.

"Sorry Scoot I gotta go back with Ryder. I promise you'll see him again and talk to him again. By the way Twilight's sister in law is coming over to give you a few things okay? You be good now alright?"

I heard Scootaloo sniffle but have the crying fade off. "Shining its Dash. Is that why you called me earlier? Just cuz you wanna talk with Scootaloo?" Dash said. Shining was about to answer but Dash cut him off. "Ah dammit! She just pissed herself again. I gotta go and just saying now Ryder should not be in jail he didn't do what you think he did!"

Yeah... Dash never did know about me punching a guard. She thinks I was the one who shot mom and dad. It was the fast thinking that got her into bad situations and bad grades at one point. Shining picked me up and put me in the chair again before leaving the room. I wasn't sure what he was doing until he came back with two coffees from a break room. Gave one to me and told me to drink up. He had to put me back into my cell but didn't want me to take a nap or anything. I sat on the bench with my coffee drinking it slowly. Didn't want that coffee but had to be nice. What was he pulling? I thought. Was he going to get me to ID the guard that put me in a head lock? It'd do no use since I never saw his face. Also thought he was trying to get me something more comfortable but I deserved it. No. You want to know what he did? He brings Princess CELESTIA. Didn't bring her to my cell. He brought me out of my cell in cuffs and walked me out to a waiting room where I see her in her long dress with guards at both her sides. She sat in a seat just looking at me. I was paralyzed with her presence. I hesitantly bowed in respect to her. "This him?" She said. Her voice was like a cello being played one note at a time slowly. A. C. A. D. Kinda like that.

"Yes Princess." Shining said kneeling down. "This is Ryder, he was the one I was talking about giving a job to." A job? Did I hear that right. "I know it's against protocol to give someone in his position a job in the guard but he has a little sister to take care of who he had to keep from going into foster care after their parents were murdered! A job at a bakery isn't going to pay any bills and since he was fired from said job I really suggest we give him something I know he can do! He helped me handle a drunken stallion at the local orchard." The princess sighed and pinched her nose as I stood back up. Nearly fell to my knees too.

"Okay I'll give him a chance but if he messes anything up he's going back into that cell! He has to listen to EVERY order given!" She snapped making me jump. "If he doesn't I will force my hand and DOUBLE his sentence!" I gulped and yelped scared falling onto my flank. Shining helped me up with the help of another guard but... I.... I kinda kicked the guard making him jump back and pull his gun. Shining used his magic to take the gun.

"WOAH! Don't you DARE do that!" He said. "Now we just get him to the truck, NO WEAPONS until we get to the range and when we do hit the range the only one that goes in is me and Ryder! Is that clear?" Silence from the guards. "I SAID IS THAT CLEAR?!"

The guards stood in attention quickly, the gun still floating in Shining's magic. "SIR YES SIR!" They both said saluting. Shining put the gun back in the guard's holster and helped me up.

"Good. Anyone talks to him, clear it with me." He looked to Celestia. "You ready to go Princess?" Celestia nodded and waited for the guards to check outside before she got up and went out with him. I was just about pissing myself from the Princess, the gun almost in my face and the fear of guards attacking me while Shining isn't looking or just in close quarters such as the back of a truck. Not much later I was in the back of a truck sat across from Shining and Celestia. I had my gaze averted to the floor. My sneakers, Shining's boots and Princess Celestia's pure white high heels.

"Mr.... Ryder is it?" Celestia said forcing me to look up. "I want to know... How did you get yourself in such a predicament? In a precinct with an outfit like that? Drunken date night?" I quickly averted my gaze again just as Shining gave a sigh.

"Forgive him Princess. He's just in a bit of shock still from the other night." He said. If I could plug my ears I would have. "He was going to meet with his marefriend for said date but a cross with the murderer of his parents kinda sent him over the edge. He wasn't sent here for murder but he was sent here for uh... Punching a guard here in the face trying to keep his sister where she was supposed to be but in return for that guard brutality came into play when that guard he punched put him in a head lock. The uh... Reason for that was it was his parents who were murdered and his sister was the first to know... Felt so bad for her I had her put up in my sisters castle until Ryders... Possible release if things go well..."

I whimpered a bit. "...I... I just wanna go home..." I said sounding just like a little colt lost in a mall telling this to a security guard. "... But... What home do I have....?" Yeah... What home DID I have? At the time no where but spoilers will not be good for this story. Shining rested his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey hey you still have your sister dude. She's fine. No one is taking her away from you and my sister and your cousin are taking care of her!" He said. "Just take a few deep breaths and we'll be at the range in no time." He looked to the front of the truck with both the guards there in the front seats. "You two, I want you to go inside, clear the range of everyone before you get us out. No one inside except for the clerk at the rentals counter but watch him closely." Shining looked back to me. "You just... I don't know take a few deep breaths and calm down."

Fact is I couldn't calm down. My heart ached for my sister and our parents. That's all I could think about that whole time. I still kept my mind on the prize but... Something went awry. I blanked out. Didn't even know what I was doing until I woke up hours later back in my cell. My head was pounding like I just got the shit beat out of me. As I got up off of my bench I looked to the window. Saw clear tape with the words 'Suicide Watch' in big lettering and backwards from my view. There was also a note taped to the window so only I could read it. It was from Shining.

'Ryder,

I'm sorry I had to knock you out but I didn't want to lose you or have your sister be left here alone. Princess Celestia wanted to put you into a mental asylum but they would've made you a fucking vegetable. I'm not having my friend become a vegetable. I'm actually glad I stopped you when I did. A second later I'd've been delivering a notice of adoption to a few of her friends places and giving her the worst news of her life. I hit you pretty hard and I'm not sure what damage I did but it was what I had to do to keep you from shooting yourself dead. You'll be checked on by a guard to see if you're alright hourly. You might be given an assessment on what's going on in your brain to make sure everything is working fine. But remember: You try something like that again PLEASE try and think of Scootaloo and how she would feel if she lost her whole family leaving her alone. If you want to take that assessment immediately just try and get a guards attention. By the by I did end up firing that guard that put you in a head lock and got him to drop the charges against you. You're free to go but not until you pass that assessment okay? When you get out call me. I needed to get back to my wife. See you soon I hope.

Shining.'

Yeah. That's what happened. Went to the range and I tried blowing my brains out because of the deep despair of knowing I 'wanted mommy and daddy back.' Honestly that's putting it short. I was having a great time with my mom and dad these past few days. I was actually thinking of taking them out for dinner next week but... Fucking Berrie... She took em away not even THINKING about my fucking sister! I'm GLAD I shot her! GLAD! G-L-A- FUCKING D! After I read the note I was just scared knowing I did that. Not scared enough to puke but I was scared enough to piss my pants a bit. I looked down at a small stain cursing under my breath as I looked back up. Just in time to see a guard walking by. I knocked on the glass and he looked right at me. I pointed to the 'suicide watch' tape and gestured with my hand trying to see if he could give me the assessment. He came to the door and opened the little hatch. "You obviously want something..." He said. "What do you want some sort of fucking rope to hang yourself with?"

I grunted and facepalmed. "No you jackass I want the assessment to prove i'm not suicidal anymore!" I snapped. "Just let me take it so I can get the fuck out of here!" He sighed and nodded before closing the hatch and walking away. He took a few minutes giving me time to use my toilet and try and hide my shame. He came back with another guard who had hand cuffs and a folded paper and a pen in hand. They cuffed me and took me into the meeting room where Shining took me to talk with Scootaloo. I sat in the chair I had sat in before. The guard I spoke to sat in the other chair while the second one had to lean on the door.

"Alright answer these basic questions and you're good to go." The guard said. I gave a nod and started with the questions. They really were basic questions. What's my name, what happened for me to become suicidal, where I lived. Even what my friends names were. That one confused the hell out of me. I didn't what to say other than, Rarity, Applejack, Shining Armor, Pinkie Pie and my own cousin but I was just wondering if I should be putting Big Mac's name there. All I knew is AJ still had my car and who knows what Big Mac could be doing to it. Could be cutting the brake lines or selling it to some fuck who wanted the car. That is what I thought at the time.

After they released me I stood out front making sure my things weren't tampered with. Wallet, phone and... Well that was pretty much all I had. I checked my phone and it must've been turned off for the few days I was in there. Had about a thirty five percent charge. I had texts from Applejack asking if I was okay, texts from Pinkie Pie telling me she had my jacket in her room and that I was fired from working at Sugarcube Corner but wasn't forbidden to come back and buy things. I scrolled through my contacts. Passed slowly by my parents contacts before tapping on Shining Armor's and put it up to my ear as it started calling. Buzzed only two times before a click. "Heeey Ryder! They let you out huh? How you feeling?" Shining asked. I gave a smile and laughed.

"Yeah... I'm feeling okay just uh... A bit confused on where to go..." I said.

"You hold up a few minutes. That letter was a biiit of a lie. My wife Cadence has me staying here while she's with Princess Luna in Saddle Arabia. I'm nearby grabbing a bite. And don't say no because I'm getting you something to eat. Beats that crappy food you had earlier I bet." How could I say no?

"Yeah dude come on and bring me what ever you're getting. I am STARVING!"

"Well I bet you are because when we were leaving the range you lost it all over the ground. See you soon man."

I was honestly excited. Real food. Hayburger, fries, a cola and sweet fucking freedom for desert! I walked through the parking lot and sat myself on a power box looking up and down the road. I sat there waiting for what felt like an eternity but turned out to be only just about five minutes. That's when I saw Shining's truck pull up with a familiar car behind him. My car. My baby. I was kinda shocked to see it sparkly clean, tires and all. Big Mac sat in the drivers seat with a smile on his face. He got out and I cant believe what I heard. Music. Actual music. Electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. "It's obvious you like what you hear bud!" Big Mac said. I rushed past him and popped my head into my car.

"HOLY SHIT!" I said. I looked back at Big Mac who just laughed a bit. "Dude did you do this?!" Big Mac nodded a bit as Shining stepped out of his truck.

"Well I paid for it at the mechanic pickin' up my truck but... Hey what's losing a truck compared to a friend and my family?" He asked giving me a hug. I hugged back. "You're comin' back with me n Shinin' to the orchard to get a few things and to munch down on some o' these here hayburgers!"

Shining held up a paper bag and gave them to Big Mac as I hugged Shining. "Good to see you outta there without handcuffs!" He said. "And uh... Most of that note was a lie... That guard didn't drop the charges but he was fired. I had to talk with him about something to get him to drop the charges. Needless to say I had to pay him off with some charges of my own with that arm around your neck. He agreed to drop it if I didn't drop him." We broke the embrace and I gave a sigh.

"Serves his ass!" I said. I looked at Shining nervously. "...Do you... Do you think you can give me another chance on.... What ever you were doing with me earlier at the range please?" Shining smiled.

"Sure but lets give that a couple of weeks so things can calm down around here. I don't want you becoming a guard just yet. Now lets get back to Sweet Apple Acres and get you outta that monkey suit."

I gave a nod and quickly hopped in the drivers seat of my car. Big Mac looked at me with a smile but it was enough to convince me to let him drive. And... Yeah I was shocked to hear he was trying to make me a guard. But I was more excited to see those who I love. Mostly my little sister who was all I had left. She needed me more than anything but then again... Someone kept me from getting to her right quick. Applejack. When we got to Sweet Apple Acres she was out front with a basket in her hands, tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. Applebloom must've been with Scootaloo at Twilight's castle. Again a lot not having to do with what the hell was going on with me. Sure Big Mac told you something but.... Yeah... His part gave him a bit of hell and thought to put everything behind us. As I stepped out of the car she set the basket down and ran up and hugged me. We shared a kiss. She looked into my eyes as I teared up. "...W-welcome back sugarcube..." She said. "...Y'did a good thing savin' your sister from that guard... You don't know how hard she cried when I had to get her into your car..." I sniffled a bit.

"...She have any accidents at all...?" I asked. Applejack nodded hesitantly. I sighed. "...Well.... After what she saw I wouldn't be surprised." She broke off of me and took my hand brining me to the basket. There were jars of jam, six packs of cider, hard cider for me and the normal for Scootaloo, a few bags of candy (wasn't sure if it were for me or Scoot but I just gave them to Scootaloo), and a bottle of whiskey.

"Here... Take this with ya when you go Ry." AJ said. "You get all this for what happened... Also just... just so ya know you n scoot are always welcome to stay here till ya find a place..."

Shining Armor walked up. "I don't think that can be a problem but it could do till the crime scene is cleaned up." He said. "I had to find the land lord and he told me he'd hold off on the rent till everything settles with you two and... Hell if you need someone there with you I'll be there as quick as I can be with my wife. Now what do you say we get inside and eat?"

It didn't take long for me to eat my food but uh... You don't know how I made it till nightfall just sitting there... Applejack was so glad I was back that I couldn't make it out the door with my pants on. Meaning we uh... we made some noise and passed out nude in her bed. I swear I could hear Big Mac's skull crack down stairs. I'm just lucky she was prepared for that moment. Protection. Anyways I woke up at around 11 at night and grabbed my clothes getting them on (Lucky me it was the clothes i had bagged and in my car thanks to Pinkie) before I grabbed the basket and went out the door. I got back in my car putting the basket in the passenger seat and sighed turning it on. The radio came on with some song that I really didn't know but liked for some reason. Gunfire in the background as a symphony played. Then came the guitar. Must've been a live version. I sat for a few minutes enjoying the music before pulling off. I took my phone out of my pocket and turned it on and went to my contacts."...Alright Dash... Hope you have my little sister..." I said to myself as I tapped Dash's contact and turned down my radio as my phone buzzed.

It buzzed a bit but then came a click. "...Hello? Ryder? Where are you?" Dash asked sounding a bit tired. I sighed and smiled.

"Sorry Dash... I shoulda called..." I replied. "I'm just leaving Sweet Apple Acres... Is uh... Is Scootaloo awake?"

"Nah... You want me to wake her up?"

"No... Just... Just let her sleep... Can you let me in when I get there? Please?"

"Yeah... I'll TOTALLY let you in..." She sounded sarcastic. I knew how to deal with that.

"Daaash I got AJ's cider!"

"Give me one second and I'll open the door! Just come in and give me that cider!" I yawned a bit.

"Please tell me you at least have somewhere for me to sleep... Maybe... Close to Scoot?"

"Yeah I'll get you an extra pillow and some blankets and you can sleep on the floor in there. Just hurry with that cider! Oh and tell me that you got something else to change into than what you got arrested in. AJ was freaking the hell out about you!"

"Dont worry... I'm good there... Now uh... I'll be there soon.... Just wanna... Just wanna take a quick detour."

I hung up the phone before she said another word and turned the music back up. This time it was just some commercials talking about this new air freshener for stallions. Bullshit right there. And that detour I was talking about was going past the house. Two guard trucks sat out front with a Carpet cleaners van, the whole yard was covered in police tape, and the lights inside were on. When I got to Dash's place I pulled up and saw Dash out front wearing a basketball jersey and some sweat pants sitting down on the front step with the porch light on her. I turned the car off and sighed. I grabbed the basket and stepped out setting it on the roof of my car before shutting it. Dash came over and met me at the curb hugging me. She felt tense and shaky but still calm as ever. Even more calm than how I was. I didn't know if I were going to walk into a reminder of what had happened or into a new life. As we stepped inside Scootaloo screamed upstairs and started crying. I set the basket on the couch, Dash closed the door and we both hurried up the stairs. Dash bolted into her guest room where I saw Scootaloo crying her eyes out in a moist bed. That's where this story began. It's where I sat down and hugged my sister. "...R-ryder..." She said through her tears.

"...Don't worry... I'm here.... I'm.. I'll always be here..."

Author's Note

I know I have many versions of my OC and Scootaloo being left alone together but this was the one that I felt was a better story. I hope you liked reading it as I liked writing it.
