Scootaloo's Secret
The Fourth Scrap
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Rainbow Dash!" Scooaloo Shouts.
"Sup squirt." A voice shouts from behind a cloud.
"I have something to talk to you about!" Scootaloo shouts back.
A blue pony with a rainbow coloured mane pokes it's head over the cloud. It looks towards Scootaloo with a smile, then it notices me. It stares into my eyes, the stare slowly start to become a glare. The cold breeze stops as we both stare at eachother. A few silent seconds pass as we continue to hold our stare. A pair of blue wings snap out of the sides of the cloud, a few seconds later a blue blur and a strong gust of wind blows into me causing me to fall backwards. As I hit the ground the wind get's knocked out of me, leaving me weak and gasping for air.
"DANIEL!" Scootaloo's voice screams from a distance.
I force myself to sit up and look towards where her scream came from. A rainbow trail is being painted across the sky and into the distance.
"No fucking way...." I mumble in awe. "No...."
I rest my elbows on my knees and let my arms hang limply to the sides.
"I lost her again...." I growl through gritted teeth.
I can feel an emptiness start to grow in my stomach.
"I don't know if I can find my way this time Scootaloo.... I.... Don't know...." I whimper.
I can feel a coldness start to streak down my cheeks. I raise my right hand to my right cheek and feel for the coldness. It's wet, a wet trail from my eye, down my cheek.
"I'm crying.... How pathetic." I sniffle.
"Daniel." A voice I recognise calls to me.
"Linda?" I ask.
"Yes darling, it's me. I'm so happy that you've moved on. She's so pretty." Linda's voice echo's.
"I'm sorry Linda. I'm sorry for not being able to do anything to help you." I choke through tears.
"Shh. It's okay, I'm not upset. Me and Jessica are okay." Linda's voice assures me.
A few seconds later Linda appears in front of me.
"Linda?" I happily ask as I force myself to stand.
"I'm sorry Daniel, you can't touch me. We can only talk." Linda sadly explains.
"You meant the world to me Linda, I'm so glad that I even get to talk to you again."
Another tear starts to slide down my cheek painting a wet and salty trail to my lips. A strong salty taste starts to spread across my tongue.
"Daniel, my little taste of paradise. Don't give up. Scootaloo needs you. Don't let anything bad happen to her. I love you Daniel, but she needs you more then me. Give her all of the love you gave to me. She needs it." Linda smiles.
"I don't know if I can Linda." I mumble as I look into the ground.
Linda holds a hand out for me. I try to hold her hand but my hand just floats straight through it.
"Linda...." I whimper.
"No Daniel. Don't cry, you where always so nice, I couldn't have asked for a better husband. I'm just glad I got to meet you before I died." Linda smiles happily as she lets her hand fall back to her side.
"I don't know if I'll ever find her though. I don't know if I'm strong enough."
"You are strong enough, I will help you remember." Linda says as she dissapears.
I fall to my knees and stare at the ground. A single piece of folded paper lies where she once stood. I crawl towards it and pick it up. I take a deep breath and stare at it, debating whether I want to see what's written on it. After a few seconds of deciding I unfold the piece of paper.
DETERMINATION
I can feel a strong urge flow through my body, the urge to stand up and run in the direction that the rainbow was heading.
"She's right, I guess I do have the strength." I say as I place the piece of paper in my pocket.
I stand back up and look towards the direction that the rainbow traveled.
"I'm coming Scootaloo, I made a promise. I will always find my way back." I say to myself confidently.
---------------------------------------------- Scootaloo's P.O.V ----------------------------------------------
White walls surround me and Rainbow Dash, a small bed with a white blanket covering it, a single dresser stands proudly and alone against one of the walls.
"Scootaloo what where you doing next to the thing?" Rainbow Dash angrily asks me.
"How dare you call him a thing!" I shout at her.
"What?" Rainbow Dash asks with a look of surprise.
"How bucking DARE YOU!" I scream at her.
"I SAVED you." Rainbow Dash angrily raises her voice.
"NO YOU DIDN'T!" I scream as tears start to build up in my eyes.
"I think you need to take some time to think about everything." Rainbow Dash sighs.
"NO I DON'T *whimper*..... How could you do this to me." I cry.
Rainbow Dash leaves the room and locks the door behind her.
"Daniel.... Please find your way back to me, I need you." I cry into my hooves.
I continue to cry into my hooves, wetting the socks that covered them.
"Daniel.... My special somepony...." I whimper.
I start to stamp my forehooves into the ground.
"DANIEL!" I scream again. "DANIEL PLEASE!"
I wipe my eyes and run to a window facing outwards. A large city as far as the eye can see takes up most of the view from the window.
"Please Daniel." I whimper.
The breath from my whimper fogs the window up, blocking my vision of the outside. I start to draw in the condensed area of the window. I start with a large heart, followed by the letters "SL&DI" in the middle of the heart.
"Daniel...." I mumble. "I hope you keep your promise to me."
I turn around and head towards the bed, my socks muffling the sounds of my hoofsteps, made the journey nearly silent. The only sounds that could be heard in the room was my breathing and the odd whimper sneaking it's way out among my breaths. I climb onto the bed and curl myself into a ball.
"Daniel...."
