Starting over

Hearing this causes her to open her eyes and look around. What she sees is a complete surprise, an earth pony that is falling with her. She looks at him in confusion.

“Who are you?”

She asks. He replies with a soft smile and grabs her. She begins to struggle as she is placed on top of him, still being held tightly and he speaks to her.

“Brace for impact.”

As they hit the ground. Surprisingly the filly is still alive.

“How? That impact should have killed me?”

She says to herself. The colt walks out of the crater they had made and answers her question as well as ask a new one.

“If I hadn’t interfered it would have killed you. Can you please tell me why you decided to jump? Unless you were sleepwalking, you couldn’t have accidentally fallen in without hitting the barrier.”

She looks at him with a look of shame in her eyes

“I did it because I’m so useless! I can’t ever do anything right! I can’t fly, I can’t stand up for myself, and I can’t find my special talent! I’ve just been a burden upon everypony I know, and I don’t want to be burden for them anymore! My parents abandoned me when I was about 5, and I’ve been on my own ever since then! I am done with everything this life has given me! You couldn’t possibly understand what it’s like to be alone and not do anything properly!”

The colt looks at her with a look of sympathy in his eyes and decides to speak up.

“I do know what it’s like to be alone. I lost my parents when I was four, as well as my wings.”

He says pointing at his back with a fore hoof

“I know what it feels like to be sad, lost, afraid, and feel broken. I am not going to pity you because nopony wants to be pitied, but I will offer you a preposition. I could either bring you back to town, and leave your life entirely, or you could join me and travel equestria, for one year. You would be able to see many new and cool things. I could teach you a few things on how to survive and be awesome, but you would not see anypony you know for an entire year. It’s your choice. You have until tomorrow aftern.”

“I want to go with you! Please take me far away from this place, I hate how boring this town is! Please, please please take me with you. I want to see equestria and possibly find my special talent, and most importantly, I want to be as awesome as I can!”

“Alright, you can go with me. Let's go and grab your things and we can head out tonight. Oh and you should leave a note for your friends so they don’t worry too much.”

She remembers the first note she left and said

“ We gotta hurry, If they find the note I left, they’ll flip and think I died! I left it in a clubhouse in Sweet Apple Acres. My other things are there to!”

“Hop on my back, and we’ll be there before you know it!”

Says the colt

“How? We’re in the bottom of the gorge remember.”

She replies

“Get on my back and I’ll show you.”

The filly hops on the colts back hesitantly as the colt begins to speak in a joking voice.

“The captain wants to remind all of the passengers to hold on tight, due to the fact we might encounter some minor turbulence and thanks you for flying air Bench.”

The filly rolls her eyes and puts her fore hooves around his neck and wraps her hind quarters around his barrel. The colt then leaps off the ground straight at the wall of the canyon. He then rebounds off and flies straight towards the opposite canyon wall and repeats the process until he clears the top of the gorge. The filly, who is clutching him tightly, is amazed at this feat of awesomeness.

“All right, here we go!”

Yells the colt as he stands on his hind legs and begins to run. As he takes off running, the trees they passed turn into blurs.

“Who is this guy?”

The filly thinks to herself.

“Here we are.”

The colt says to the filly.

“How about you go in and grab your stuff. I’ll wait out here. You also might want to destroy that note to mentioned earlier. Don’t want everyone to think that you’re dead.”

The filly nods her head and walks in the club house. The first thing she does is tear up her first note and starts to write a second

Dear, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Rainbow Dash,

I am going away for a while. A friend has offered me a chance to see the world and I am accepting it. I am sorry I can’t say goodbye in person, but we leave now or never. By the time you get this, we will probably be in a different city. I will miss you, but I need to have an adventure. I need to find out what my purpose is in life. I will return in one years time, so please don’t despair, and don’t be mad.

Your friend,

Scootaloo

Once she is done writing the note, she folds it up and puts it where the old one used to be. After setting it down, she proceeds to gather what few belongings she may need or want: her scooter, helmet, blanket, Rainbow Dash plushie,and her note book, and puts as much of it as she can into her saddlebags. She then slings her bag onto her back and walks out the door.
