It had been about two hours since the moment Scootaloo opened up to Rainbow Dash. Every second since that moment had been an emotional roller coaster. Between feeling relief at having the secret of her crush of of her chest and the crippling fear about revealing the identity of her crush, she was feeling about a hundred other things. Ever since Scootaloo had lay down on her bed she had been contemplating when to tell them and how to tell them. She knew that Rainbow Dash and Soarin loved her but she didn't know if they could accept her for something they seemed to be politically and morally against. Scootaloo knew she was most likely over thinking the entire situation. Even if Rainbow Dash and Soarin were specifically against gays they had never shown it, and if that turned out to be the case maybe having someone close to them such as Scootaloo admit this to them, they would become more accepting or at least more positively aware of the issue. If they couldn't accept her however, what was she to do? She didn't even want to think about how her life would go if Rainbow Dash and Soarin hated her for telling them this. It could end badly in a number of ways. She began to think about those ways but stopped herself. "No Scootaloo, hold it together." she told herself. "You don't want to over think this, so don't. What's going to happen is going to happen, It isn't your fault either way." She put her hooves over her eyes and leaned back, trying to relax.

About twenty minutes later she thought she heard something outside. Followed by definitely hearing the front door open. Soarin had come home from the bar. She heard him and Rainbow Dash conversing in the main room of the house. It was too muffled to hear the specific contents of their conversation and she couldn't really pick up bits and pieces like she usually could. She blamed this on her being tired and her current mental state. She wasn't sure if Rainbow Dash and Soarin were going to be busy or not but she had to get this off of her chest as quickly as possible. She stretched out and stood up. She walked up to the door of her room, took a breath, thought to herself "Here goes nothing.", and opened her door. She walked out of her room and saw that Rainbow Dash and Soarin were just sitting in the main room doing nothing. She entered the room and sat across from the two. It looked like Soarin was a lot more drunk than expected. That had a serious chance to derail her plans. She almost chickened out of the whole idea before reminding herself that it was now or never. She took a few deep breaths and looked Rainbow Dash in the eyes.

"Guys I need to tell you something kind of important.. Well not kind of important really important, sort of, almost, maybe, depending on how you view what I say, or how accepting you are of what I say, i'm rambling sorry i'll just stop talking now." Scootaloo bursted out these words in a string of nervous tension. Rainbow Dash and Soarin both looked pretty confused.

"I didn't pick up like, any of that squirt." said Rainbow Dash

"Yeah sorry Scoots, you said that a little fast" said Soarin.

"The gist of it was that I needed to tell you guys something really important and I don't know exactly how you're going to take it. So i'd like to get it over with as quick as possible." said Scootaloo more slowly this time making sure Rainbow Dash and Soarin would be able to understand her this time.

"I'm sure we'll take it just fine" Rainbow Dash said.

"As long as you're not gay i'm happy." said Soarin with a chuckle. Rainbow gave a weak not so sincere chuckle back because Rainbow Dash had noticed Scootaloo's ears flop down and her head hang low as soon as Soarin had made it clear that he was not in support. Scootaloo gave no attempt at a chuckle. Soarin looked at Scootaloo and noticed her ashamed expression and depressing facial expression. "Wait.. no, you don't actually mean, no.. no…. oh no…. NO! NO! NO!" Soarin screamed bolting up and knocking over a table. "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! THE ONE THING! THE ONE THING I DON'T AND WILL NEVER APPROVE OF!" Soarin rushed into Scootaloo's room and Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash could hear shuffling noises.

Rainbow Dash just sat in silence looking at Scootaloo who now had a few tears running down her face, Rainbow Dash found a few tears welling up in her eyes as well. She hated the scene in front of her. She and her little sister were known to be two quite tough ponies. Neither of them were bothered by much, or at least no one ever saw if they were bothered by something. Now here they were. The two toughest ponies in ponyville crying on the floor. "I'm so sorry Scootaloo. I didn't know this was what you were going to say, I would've warned you about him, I'm so sorry." she said trying unsuccessfully to choke back sobs. Scootaloo sat silently. She didn't know what to think. It seemed as if Rainbow Dash at least accepted her. She also hated that she was crying. She felt embarrassed crying in front of Rainbow Dash, even if she was crying to. Even more she hated that her crying would let Soarin know that he had gotten to her, gotten to them. Her sadness quickly turned into rage. She felt everything all at once, she couldn't take being hurt like this. Cast out like this, having the pony closest to her hurt, both through no fault of there own. It was pure rage, white hot, burning hotter than Celestia's sun. She knew she couldn't act on it however, and that hurt even more.

Soarin reappeared into the main room holding a bulging suitcase full of Scootaloo's possessions. "Alright now you little twerp, it's time to get the hell out of my house!" said Soarin in a bigoted rage. Rainbow Dash looked up in shock at Soarin. This was not the loving caring pony she knew. This was someone else entirely, someone she didn't love. Scootaloo meanwhile was terrified as the older and strong stallion had grabbed her tightly and was carrying her towards the door. Scootaloo's self control burst at that moment as she used all of her strength to kick Soarin in the side as hard as she could. It hurt Soarin but wasn't close to enough to get him to lose his grip. "Why you little!" he growled as he slapped Scootaloo in the face repeatedly.

"Hey! Don't touch her!" Rainbow Dash screamed as she flew over to Soarin kicking him in the face at full force. He stumbled back but didn't lose his grip on Scootaloo. Soarin looked up, now with pure hatred in his eyes. "You too! You support her! I don't even know you anymore Rainbow Dash! I don't think I even love you anymore!" He screamed out at her as he hit her with his full strength. Rainbow Dash looked up at Soarin. Their eyes met, his hatred and her hurt, there was no longer any trace of love. "That's it you no good scum!" Soarin had had enough and dragged Scootaloo out to the front porch of their cloud house. "I seem to remember that you can't fly Scootaloo, that's too bad, maybe you'll die from the fall and we'll be rid of another impure soul! Scootaloo's eyes widened in horror as she realized exactly what Soarin was up to. She screamed for help and cried loudly. She didn't care anymore, she just wanted to wake up from this nightmare. They reached the edge of the cloud house's front yard. Scootaloo tried to fight back, tried to get away, but her efforts were wasted as Soarin flew up and dropped her down towards the ground below.

Rainbow Dash few by Soarin at lightning speed. She flew to the edge of the yard and then did a 90 degree turn down, dive bombing towards the ground as quick as her wings would let her. She saw the orange and purple blur falling a good distance away from her. Rainbow Dash's love for Scootaloo and newfound hate for Soarin fueled her to push herself farther than ever and she flew towards Scootaloo at an increased speed. She was catching up to Scootaloo now, it was now a race. Would she be able to reach Scootaloo before the ground did? It didn't look good. Scootaloo was so scared she had lost all sense and emotion she was just mass falling from the sky. She heard a noise above her and willed herself to look up. When she saw the rainbow blur her hope was slightly restored. She was almost there, almost, almost. Rainbow dash grabbed Scootaloo right before she hit the ground, Rainbow Dash made a sharp turn upwards and she was now flying at breakneck speed parallel to the ground. Then she saw a tree coming. She tried to slow down but it was useless. She threw Scootaloo towards the river nearby and braced for impact.
