"Apple Bloom wait I'm ok" shouted Scootaloo as she ran after a red and yellow blur. 'i have to catch her before she hurts herself' she thought as she accelerates beginning to find some gain on her friend's distance.

'i... I hurt her I'm a; whats wrong with me I'm not safe I cant be around anypony?!' though apple bloom as she shot out into a clearing before darting to the right and back into the shrubbery and trees. 'why'd I do it but I wasn't aiming for her why'd she do that?' tried apple bloom the incident on replay like a broken record as she saw a rope bridge ahead 'why?' she berated herself as she darts across it almost falling as it swayed 'why would she do that; diamond knew and she deserved it didn't she?' she thought as she ran up a rise of steps. 'why would she but it wasn't my right, *but no pony does anything she gets away with everything* she thought looking up for a second and finding herself in a room of some old decrepit castle with most of the sealing gone fallen pillars and ruble every ware.

'where's she going huh' wondered scootaloo before an old castle and rope bridge came into her vision as she continued to gain on her friend quickly catching up to the bridge slowing a little in hesitation before jogging across the now rocking bridge. 'i need to stop her' 'apple bloom!?" she concluded calling out as she resumes her pace and watches as apple bloom darts inside.

'i hurt her sigh where am I?' thought apple bloom as she walks to an archway big enough to fit a well-sized dragon through turning and looking around as she walked. 'its all my fault sweatie wouldn't be like that if I had just said no and now I've hurt scoots whats wrong with m-apple bloom!-huh?' she contemplates before a familiar voice resounded from outside and hoof falls on stone come to her ears turning to see her friend standing at the large long ruined entrance. 'but I hurt you?' she thought questioningly as she sees her friend panting before her. she seemed fine aside from every mane hair standing on end half erect with some sort of charge to it as it slowly went flat as she notices her approach and took a step back. "apple bloom-" 'whah'

"apple bloom why'd you run away like that?" starts scootaloo as she took a few steps forward. 'why's she backing up like that?' she thought as she tried to think of something else to say. ‘why’d she attack diamond like that what’d I miss arrgh I should have stayed with her’ she thought as she watched her friend back away from her an unrecognized expression on her face a mix of shock worry and concern with a large question surrounding it all.

‘How she standing I lit her up like a hearths-warming tree’ thought apple bloom before remembering Pegasie were resistant to lightning strikes ‘oh right but why-wait what happened how’d I get lightning in the first place?’ she questions herself as her mind race’s before she notices Scootaloo’s current distance. “Stay back I don’t wanna hurt ya!?” she let out thinking she’d just hurt her again as she steps back. ‘I’m not safe what if I can’t- I have to get away from her’ she thought as her friend goes to say something before turning and running again.

‘Apple uh?’ began Scootaloo before noticing her friend making a run for it as she hesitates before giving chase. “ Apple Bloom wait” she called as she runs after apple bloom wondering why she was behaving the way she was. ‘What’s going on” she thinks trying to understand why her friend was running like she was afraid of her.

‘I’m sorry but I can’t be near you’ thought apple bloom as she ran into a hall and takes a flight of stairs down making a u-turn and going down another before coming out into an identical hall and taking a right.

“what’s gotten into you?” called out Scootaloo as she jumped down the first flight of stairs catching a red and yellow blur take a left jumping and chasing after. “Apple Bloom please wait!” calls Scootaloo as she sees her target pass a few doors before taking another left through an archway.

‘I have to get away from her what if it happens again oh-‘ thought apple bloom “just leave me alone!” yelled apple bloom as she took a right going down another hallway a bit darker then the fist as she willed her wand to glow before realizing it and extinguishing it. ‘no I want I don’t wanna hurt her’ she thought before taking a spiral stairwell up as she heard her friends hoofs gaining on her wand still in her mouth. “why’d I arrgh pant cause she, ugh pant oh now I and pant but arrgh” she pants out in-between breaths as she takes an exit into a large room before seeing the light coming from one of the doors running to it and shoving it open the effort losing a bit off her distance from her friend.

Scootaloo ran trying to catch up underestimating her friend’s earth pony heritage she was tired but she wasn’t giving up that easy.

‘What are you running for?’ she thought as a light illuminates her friend in a dark hall as puts on another burst of speed ‘I can’t run like this forever’ she thought as she could just see her friends tail that much ahead of her barely visible around the corner of the spiraling stairwell before she sees her take an exit nearly tripping as she barely make the tight turn. Come on apple bloom you’re warring me out here’ she thinks hopefully as she sees her run through a door finding a bit more gain.

‘I just need to lose her’ contemplates apple bloom as her longs began burning but she was used to pushing it with her resolve she taps into her strength and puts out one more push of speed seeing proverbial and literal light at the end of the tunnel as she shoots up a flight of stairs and out into the open sun light blinding her for a moment as she slows down trying to get her bearings right before something slammed her to the ground knocking the wind out of her and forward holding her in place as It wrapped her in a vice like grip.

Just one more push’ thought Scootaloo seeing her friend no more than five yards ahead putting her wings into it as she saw her friend slow not taking any chances she jumps a short feeling of flight before she tackles apple bloom the momentum dragging them a few feet farther airborne before they both hit the ground.
