Tornado knocked rapidly on Scootaloo's bedroom door, it opened slowly and made an annoying sound. He peaked inside, his daughter was nowhere to be seen. He stepped inside the room and noticed the window was open, he ran to it and looked outside.

No pony was around, it was night time. He ran out of the room and looked all around the house for her, she wasn't anywhere. Once he was outside he began to worry. She was just a filly, it was dangerous outside alone at night!

He tried to think of where she could have gone. A friend's house, maybe. He went back inside to call her friends and see if she was with one of them.

He stopped in his tracks as the phone rang. He raced to it in a flash and picked up the receiver, he said hello. Rainbow Dash's voice meet his on the other end.

"Tornado, is Scootaloo missing?" She asked.

"Ohm...why do you ask?" He gulped.

"Well I was taking a night flight and I think I saw her riding on her scooter, leaving your house." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Which way did she go?" He grew worried.

"Towards the Everfree forest." Rainbow Dash gulped.

"We got to find her!" Tornado hung up the phone and ran out into the night.

Once at the forest's entrance he gulped. Rainbow Dash flew over to him and landed on the ground, "Can I come along and help?" She asked.

"It's the Everfree forest...it's dangerous." Tornado replied, something told him if she or Scootaloo got hurt, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

"Dude, I've been in that forest more then you have." She groaned, her magenta eyes stared at him angrily.

"Well yeah but..." Tornado looked down.

Rainbow Dash groaned again, "come on, let's go!" She flew into the forest like a bolt of lightning, leaving him in the dust.

Tornado eventually caught up to her, it was easy to do so cause she stopped to look at something on the ground. He landed next to the cyan pegasus, she picked up a small picture and began to examine it. Tornado leader over her shoulder.

"That's a picture of Scootaloo and her mom, it went missing the day we finished unpacking when we moved to Ponyville!" Tornado gently took the picture from her, "I thought we'd left it at the old house or something."

"Do you think Scootaloo dropped it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Without a doubt." He he noticed the scooter tire tracks, "maybe she went this way!"

Rainbow Dash nodded and the pair raced off in the detection the tracks lead. Rainbow Dash was the first to stop after a while, Tornado looked up at a large manticore stood in their way, it's back facing the two pegasi. Tornado peered off to the side and noticed a small orange filly near the beat's front paws.

He blinked and was back in Fillydelthia, he was in him wife's how hospital room. Belle Vi was resting on the bed, baby Scootaloo snuggled up beside her, she still had cancer. She looked up at him and smiled, he wanted to hug her but he couldn't move.

"Please promise you'll keep her safe." Tears filled her eyes.

He nodded, she smiled and lifted Scootaloo up to him. He hugged his daughter gently. His wife closed her eyes slowly, her body went limp, cardiac monitor's screen formed a thin green line and began to make a load steady beep.

Doctors and nurses pushed him out of the way, Scootaloo began to cry. One nurse gave him a sad frown and motioned for him to leave the room. Once outside Scootaloo begged to be let down, he hugged her a little tighter.

Later the doctor met him in the waiting room and told him his wife was gone, he went home and sat Scootaloo in her crib, "well it looks like it's just you and me now."

He was jolted back into the real world, "don't just stand there, we have to do something!" Rainbow Dash flew towards the monster without another word.

Rainbow Dash flew to the beat's face, it growled at her and she kicked it in the nose. The manticore backed up a bit and swiped his paw at her, she dodged it. Tornado flew up to help her.

The manticore grabbed her with it's tail, Rainbow Dash began to bite it. Tornado kicked the monster in the face just as Rainbow had done. Once Rainbow Dash flew away from the tail Tornado again kicked it. The manticore backed up again, it didn't want to give up.

Rainbow Dash picked up Scootaloo, she flew away with Tornado following behind. The monticore chased after them, it roared and stepped on a thorn bush. The monster made a cry and limped back into the forest.

Once back at the forest entrance Rainbow Dash layed Scootaloo on the ground gently. She looked over at Tornado worriedly. Scootaloo seemed to be drenched in blood, the young filly groaned.

"We need to get her to a doctor quick!" Rainbow Dash picked her up again and looked down at Tornado.

"Let me carry her." He reached out his hooves.

"Fine." Rainbow Dash nodded.

Once they reached the hospital, nurse Red Heart made them stay in the waiting room while the took care of Scootaloo. Tornado sat down and looked at he floor. Rainbow Dash did the same.

"Do you think she'll be ok?" The Rainbow Dash asked.

"I hope so." Tornado looked at the hall way of rooms with worry.

Author's Note

I'm so sorry this is really short...dislike it if you must.

Life has been getting...a little upsetting so I haven't been able to think straight for this story. I'm also planning an audio drama, and two squeals.

There isn't a lot to say for this chapter...again, sorry it's short.
