Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack were at Sweet Apple Acres. Spring had already set in and blossoms were beginning to pop up on the new green leaves. They were sitting under a tree as they had a less-than-pleasant conversation.

"Are ya goin' to..." Apple Jack paused thoughtfully, "visit her?"

Rainbow Dash looked into Apple Jack's green eyes with an offended expression. "Why would I? She's a murderer and liar." Her voice cracked slightly.

"Ya miss her," Apple Jack insisted softly. "She was like the sister ya never had."

Rainbow Dash looked pained to even be on the subject of sisters and her pink eyes glistened slightly with tears. "I just... wanna pretend she never existed."

Apple Jack took off her hat and pressed it against her chest. She bowed her head and sighed deeply. "Pretendin' somethin' didn't happen is the coward's way out." She turned back to Dash with a serious look in her eyes. "I know you and you ain't no coward!"

Rainbow Dash was flattered by Apple Jack's compliment, but she tore away from her gaze. Dash's magenta eyes were more depressed than Apple Jack had ever seen. During all the terrible things that have threatened Equestria, Rainbow had remained loyal and confident, but this was all it would take to break her?

"I'm sorry, sugar cube..."

"N-No," Rainbow Dash sat up straighter. "You're right. I should... confront her."

"Right." Apple Jack turned to look back at the hundreds of apple trees. Her green eyes were distant as she frowned deeply. "Tell me... Tell me why she did it- once ya find out, of course."

"You mean Appl-"

"Yes," Apple Jack interrupted. "Please make sure to find out." Her voice cracked softly.

Rainbow Dash nodded. She turned away from Apple Jack and stared out at the field. They remained silent for a while as they tried to think.

"So this is free time?" Scootaloo walked into the room. It was large enough to hold about 10 foals with tables and chairs. On one side of the room was a large, white screen that was presumably for movies and seating areas continued to the other wall. There were armed supervisors standing around watching the foals.

"Yep." The twins lead Scootaloo to a table and sat down.

"I suppose we should tell you our names."

"Before you do, is there a difference?" Scootaloo interrupted sharply.

She immediately regretted asking as the twins gave her a miffed stare. "Yes!" They shouted in unison.

"I'm Blaire and that's Bailey." She saw that Scootaloo didn't see the difference. "I have greener eyes and she has bluer eyes," she said bluntly.

"Oooooh!" Scootaloo noticed Blaire did have slightly green eyes. "Good to know. Now when I get stabbed by one of you I can tell which one did it!" She grinned.

The twins looked at each other with a bewildered expression before turning back to Scootaloo. "Pardon?"

"It was a joke..." Scootaloo bowed her head slightly.

"What's your last name?" Blaire abruptly asked.

"Why?" Scootaloo asked. "Tryin' to hunt me down?"

"No, visiting hours depend on your last name," Bailey explained. "Does your last name start with an 'S'?"

"Yeah, so what are my visiting hours?" Scootaloo asked.

"Same as ours."

"7:30 pm to 8:30 pm on Tuesdays."

"10:30 am to 11:30 am on Saturday," Blaire explained.

"Wait... could my sister visit me?" Scootaloo inquired. She didn't want to keep probing them, but she needed to know.

They shook their heads in unison. "Should'a had her commit the crimes with you," Bailey smirked.

"Like we did."

Jay was laying down in his hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling. He had a wrap around his wings- or wing- that went down to his flanks. His ears perked up when he heard the door open.

Cotton walked into the room and to the side of the bed gracefully. "So... You got yourself in some serious crap this time."

Jay remembered that he still hadn't told her about Scootaloo. "Um, about that..." he paused to ask himself if he should keep it a secret for just a bit longer. With a sigh, he decided he couldn't keep lying. "Well, there was this filly and she was killing other foals. Asher was the first to catch on, but I didn't believe him. Long story short, I got overpowered by a foal..."

Cotton rubbed her face with her hoof and let out a disappointed sigh. "Jaaay! How?"

"Hey, in my defense she also had a friend with her. Also, they both had knives! And Asher also got overpowered. In other words, not my fault," Jay explained, slightly desperate.

"How long ago did you first realize this filly was a 'murderer'?" Cotton asked, still upset.

"Oh, not thaaat long ago..." Jay paused to count. "A little over 5 days."

"5 DAYS!?" Cotton shouted. "You've been hiding this from me for 5 days?!"

"Yep," he shrugged and smiled nervously. "What can I say? I'm in the wrong. I suuuck."

Cotton growled. "You've been lying to me!"

"For your own good, though!"

"Not really!"

"Did you hire a babysitter?" Jay inquired abruptly. Cotton wasn't buying the subject change and gave him an angry glare. "Jeez, just asking," he muttered.

The next day, Saturday, Scootaloo was pulled out of her classroom. She was unsure why at first, but then she caught sight of a clock. It was 10:35! She was unsure who could be visiting her, though. She didn't have a real parent or guardian, so nopony could be allowed to visit her.

Scootaloo was taken into a room that was blocked off into eighths. Bulletproof glass cut it in half the long way while small walls cut each half into four sections. She was put in one section and on the other side of the glass was Rainbow Dash. She looked at Scootaloo like she was a disgusting bum on the side of the street.

"Rainbow Dash! I'm so glad you could see me!" Scootaloo cried. She pressed her face against the glass and beamed.

"I thought you were just a cute, little foal that couldn't do anything to make me stop loving you," Rainbow Dash said darkly. "But I never knew you were such a- a monster!" She snapped.

Scootaloo was caught off guard. Dash hadn't said "Hello" or anything like that. She just got straight to the point. "I have good reasons, though!" She whimpered, bowing her head.

"Why'd you kill the other crusaders, then?" Rainbow Dash asked. She really didn't want to know, but Apple Jack and Rarity deserved a reason.

"They were gonna tell the police about how I got my cutie mark. They weren't real friends if they couldn't accept my talent!" Scootaloo explained matter-of-factly.

Rainbow Dash recalled seeing the cutie mark. She never commented on it because she didn't want to be rude, but it didn't seem natural. "How, exactly, did you get that cutie mark?"

"Sliced off Diamond Tiara's cutie marks," she said proudly.

Rainbow Dash looked down and tried not to cry. "You... You've changed. We aren't sisters- we aren't even friends anymore! I hope you rot alone in there!" Before Scootaloo could notice the tears that were rolling down Dash's cheeks, she trotted out of the room.

Author's Note

I tried my hardest to see what actually happens/ what the schedule is at local juvies, but I had to make up some of the stuff. I couldn't find out anything about the visitation other than the schedule and rules. If you do know anything else, don't tell me. Ignorance is bliss and besides, it's my own universe that I can do whatever I want with.
