Scootaloo's Crush

Scootaloo was still in shock. The events of the last hour played over and over in her mind. It still didn't seem real to her. She loved Soarin, no she used to love Soarin. He was the closest thing to a father figure she had ever had. She had never knew that such a simple thing could've caused him to break, that such a simple thing could've drove him to make the two people he loved most hate him. Scootaloo had all these thoughts and more running through her mind. She would've taken a deep breath to calm herself down but she couldn't, because she was at the bottom of a lake. She couldn't fly but luckily she knew how to swim. She thrust powerfully with her hooves as she tried to surface as quickly as possible. She reached the surface moments later. She gasped for air and finally was able to get a breath in. She took a few deep breaths as she got used to being back above the surface. Scootaloo once again realized the events of a few moments ago and frantically looked around for Rainbow Dash, she wished she hadn't.

She saw the tree that Rainbow Dash had crashed into, it had a profound blood stain on it, it was a fresh bloodstain, it definitely belonged to Rainbow Dash. She saw a circle of worried looking ponies. She saw an white and red vehicle parked next to the tree, it was an ambulance. Sh saw two emergency response ponies dressed in uniform carrying a stretcher and talking in panicked voices to each other, they seemed to be giving each other instructions. The worst however came last. Laying on the stretcher, in a bloody deformed mess was Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo furiously swam across the lake trying to get to her sister. She felt every emotion at once, love for Rainbow Dash, hate for Soarin, hate for herself. Scootaloo finally made it to the edge of the lake, she pulled herself up onto the shore and broke into a dead sprint towards Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo got to the ambulance just as the medical ponies shut the back door. "Hey! Hey, let me in!, hey you! Listen to me!" Scootaloo shouted and pounded on the back of the ambulance with gusto.

The medical ponies opened the back door and looked at Scootaloo. "What do you want kid we've got a dying pony here, you're costing a life!" said one of them obviously annoyed with the orange pegasus.

"That's my sister in there! Let me in!" Scootaloo screamed at the medical ponies.

"No way kid no one is allowed in here!" said the other medical pony.

"But she's my sister" Scootaloo screamed trying to push past the medical ponies with all of her strength.

"Then visit her at the hospital kid" said the first medical pony throwing Scootaloo back out into the road, slammed the door shut, and drove away.

Scootaloo was pissed. She had to think of a way to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Scootaloo wanted to run there as it could get her there the quickest. Then she remembered her scooter. She saw the suitcase that Soarin had so "thoughtfully" packed for her. Scootaloo rushed over to it and flung the medium sized blue suitcase open. It wasn't there. In fact mostly anything she cared about wasn't there. All Soarin had packed was useless miscellaneous items and some clothes that didn't even fit her too well. Scootaloo felt another spike of rage at Soarin but quickly realized that it wouldn't be productive in getting her important possessions back. She needed a plan to get her things back, but it wasn't important right now. She had no choice but to buckle down and run like hell.

Scootaloo was seeing spots as she saw the hospital coming up in the distance at long last. She felt like her lungs were going to collapse and her legs were on fire, but she didn't care, she didn't care at all, she was going to get to Rainbow Dash. Five hundred feet, four hundred feet, the doors to the hospital were getting closer and closer. Three hundred feet, two hundred feet, one hundred feet, just a little more to go. Scootaloo burst through the hospital doors at full speed with enough to force to possibly take off the hinges. She didn't care about rules, regulations any f that, she contemplated going o the desk but instead starting speeding towards the rooms. She began to see more and more black, that for some reason only willed her to go faster. Her heart was pounding in her ears as she searched for a clue to where her sister was, and that was all she remembered before she woke up.

She snapped awake in shock. She looked around and saw plain white walls shining around her, she looked down to find herself dressed in a hospital gown. She was pissed, she was this close to finding Rainbow Dash and she had to pass out! Scootaloo cursed herself, if something were to happen to Rainbow Dash she would never forgive herself for pushing that hrs, for sabotaging her chance to see Rainbow Dash at the last moment. However she took a breath and told herself to calm down. It was Rainbow Dash after all, and Scootaloo knew that Rainbow Dash would always pull through. No matter how tough the situation. Meanwhile she had to figure out what to do with the problem on hand. She was trapped in a hospital bed, she noticed that she has an IV in her arm, She really wore herself out running.

She decided to call for a nurse. Scootaloo pressed the button that they have in hospitals that call nurses. A nurse came into the room. "Oh your finally awake!" the nurse said cheerfully. "Oh that's just great, just great. Now ok dear you're probably confused about how you ended up here so i'll give you the short version. You burst in here faster than a rocket but showed all the signs of exhaustion. You're exhaustion culminated while you were zipping down one of the hallways and you passed out, we got you in here put you on some medicine and you seem to be doing just fine. Although if it's not too much trouble to ask why were you rushing through here like that?" asked the nurse.

"My sister is here, her boyfriend-slash-possible ex threw me off a cloud. I may be a pegasus but I can't fly. She got hurt saving me" said Scootaloo.

"Oh no. I'll call the police to collect a statement, for now we're going to keep you here overnight for observation but you should be just fine" said the nurse keeping the same cheery tone she had through all of the exchange.

"Can I at least see my sister?" asked Scootaloo pleadingly.

"What's your sisters name dear?"

"Rainbow Dash"

The nose froze and frowned as she remembered that patient. Coming into the hospital a mess of blood and bones. She looked at Scootaloo trying to make herself sound cheery but failed "I don't think that's such a good idea" she said "Well goodnight dear!" the nurse said walking out of the room quickly.

Scootaloo let out a half groan half scream. She had no idea of the condition of her sister and wouldn't be able to find out. That is, unless she found another way to get to Rainbow Dash.
