Even Colors Can Be Depressing

      Rainbow Dash was swooping through the air, with Scootaloo perched on her back, having the time of her life finally flying, sort of. After a segment of flying, being about fifteen to twenty minutes each, Rainbow would find a cloud for her to take a break from the having been putting so much weight on her back for a longer period of time. There was another light conversation between the two pegasi who treated each other like sisters, as Rainbow Dash perched the two on a cloud. "Whew Scoot, you seem to get heavier every round." Rainbow said laughing."Well you know you don't have to do this right." Said Scootaloo as her smile dropped." No it's fine, good exercise for me." Rainbow replied,"Well, ready for another round?" Rainbow asked passionetley."I would but I have a crusaders meeting so I need you to fly me back down to Ponyville." Scootaloo said apologeticlly."No problem." Said Rainbow,"We really need to head home anyway we are pretty far in and above the Everfree Forest and it'll take twenty minutes to get home." Said Rainbow as she flung around to look for a way home. But flipping around that fast was on such a small cloud was a terrible mistake, because upon doing so, her backside collided with Scootaloo's head. Which not only knocked her out, but knocked her off the cloud."SCOOTALOO!" Rainbow yelled upon realizing what she had done. She flew as fast as she could tward the unconcious Scootaloo.

     Just as Rainbow was about to reach Scootaloo............she was too late, Scootaloo hit the ground with a thud, landing on her back. When Rainbow managed to get to the ground, she could only stare at Scoots, not even daring to turn her over to check the damage."What have I done...?"

     Rainbow had decided to keep the tragedy a secret from the Sweetiebelle and Applebloom, as well as her friends for now, only telling the funeral home the whole story of what happened, they immediantley agreed to do a private funeral that would only be open to whom Rainbow Dash herself said could be there. The funeral was set to be on Saturday, which was in three days, so that didn't leave much time for Rainbow much time to break the news to her friends and the CMC, that was left anyway.

     At dawn on the first day, she walked out like a normal morning of making the days weather. But throughout the morning, all she could think about was her,sorta, sister, Scootaloo, which since she was techniclly her only legal guardian, she was obligated to own any possecions she owned. She just didn't know what to think about it. After finishing her daily routine of playing with the weather, she had gone into Ponyville looking for peace and quiet but got exactly the oppisite from her friends."Hey Rainbow how's it hangin?"Asked Pinkie Pie. Rainbow only shrugging at the slightest."Um, is everything ok?" Asked Fluttershy, as she grabbed a cup off the counter that contained freshly iced tea Pinkie had made before her friends had arrived at her home locally known as Sugar Cube Corner."Yeah, we thought you would be more happy since you spent all of yesterday with Scootaloo!" Said Pinkie Pie enthusiasticlly."Yes speaking of which, where is she? Sweetiebelle has been looking for her,"Asked Rarity. Rainbow had finally lost it. She bust into complete tears as her face become stained with them. She then ran out of the building as she took flight straight into the newly found rain. "What it something we said?" Pinkie called out."Yeah, she would never do something like that."Twilight added, when Fluttershy let out a gasp that sounded like Pinkie would have been the one to make it."Um girls, I think I know what happened, I will...catch up later."Fluttershy said flying out after her.

      Fluttershy eventully stumbled upon a weeping Rainbow laying on a cloud above Ponyville."Rainbow, what happened exactly while you and Scootaloo were out yesterday?"Asked Fluttershy conceringly."I....don't wanna talk about it." Dash replied weakly."Tell me." Fluttershy said firmly. When Rainbow looked at Fluttershy's worried and stern face, she knew she had no choice but to tell her everything.
