Scootaloo's Secret
Close Yet Far Away
Previous ChapterNext Chapter------Scootaloo's P.O.V------
It had been a few hours since I was kidnapped by Rainbow Dash, the day rolled into night and no matter what I did I couldn't stop thinking and worry about Daniel.
"Have you calmed down enough to talk Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"How could you do this to me Rainbow Dash? I looked up to you and.... I had such good news and you ruined it...." I whimper my answer.
"What have I done? All I did was get you away from that weird thing that was following you." Rainbow Dash asks with a look of confusion.
"That THING was my special somepony...." I sniffle as a tear starts to build in my eye.
"What?"
"Like I said, he was my special somepony.... Daniel Isle...." I whimper.
"Why would you want that thing to be your special somepony? You could have something normal like a pony or a griffin at the least." Rainbow Dash asks.
"Because something pulled us both together and we decided to stay together, it just happened out of nowhere.... I have no idea why it happened but he's my special somepony and I'd never swap him for anyone else." I answer proudly.
"Is he really somepony you want as your special somepony?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Yes."
"Celestia damnit.... I guess I should take you back to him then." Rainbow Dash sighs.
"You're right you will you rainbow whorse." I growl.
"Wow, not cool Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash says dissapointadly.
"That's why Daniel is my special somepony.... Even when this happens he still stays by my side and he never looks down at me for it...." I whine.
"What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"It doesn't concern you." I snarl.
"Okay, okay. No need to get all angry with me."
Tears start to flow down my cheeks as the feeling of loneliness becomes to much.
"I just want Daniel back...." I whimper through tears.
"I'll get you back to him." Rainbow Dash groans.
Rainbow Dash motions for me to climb onto her back. I climb on and she starts to head towards the window of the room. She then opens the window and stretches her wings. A few seconds later she flies out of the window with me on her back. The cold, crisp ari flows through my mane as we fly through the air, Rainbow Dash flies slower then normal so as to not make a rainbow since seeing ranibows at night isn't normal and may confuse some of the ponies.
"What is he exactly?" Rainbow Dash asks breaking the silence.
"A monkey, well that's what we think. I still don't really know what a monkey is so I'm just guessing." I answer.
The silence immediately then returns as neither of us can think of something to start a conversation. The silence is uncomfortable and seems really unnatural. Minutes go by in the silent journey, not another word spoke.
"Where do you think he'd be?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"My house, if I had to guess I'd say there." I answer.
Rainbow Dash nods her head and continues to fly in the direction of Ponyville.
"Why did you take me to canterlot?" I ask.
"Because you would've been safe there if he was a dangerous animal. I knew I could keep you safe there." Rainbow Dash answers.
"That doesn't sound like you." I point out.
"You're like a little sister to me, of course I want to keep you safe." Rainbow Dash mumbles.
"You're secretly a softie under that coolness." I joke.
"Maybe so but don't go telling anyone that. I have a reputation to uphold." Rainbow Dash replies.
"I know you do."
"We're nearly here so be ready to greet him or whatever you do." Rainbow Dash says as Ponyville comes into view.
"I'm ready." I mumble.
The rest of the journey is spent in silence, this time the silence is natural and is comfortable. A few minutes later Rainbow Dash lands us outside of my house. I hastily climb off of her and sprint into my house.
"DANIEL!" I shout into the house.
*Silence*
"Daniel?" I ask as I walk through the living room and up the stairs.
I enter my bedroom and climb through the rubble towards my bed. Nothing. My bed is there with the blanket and pillow still there, but no Daniel.
"Daniel?" I whimper.
------Daniel's P.O.V------
"I'm coming Scootaloo." I groan as I stretch after waking up.
I'm still sat under the tree that I had slept under during the night.
"I'll follow where that rainbow creature went, I'll follow where the trail went and I'll come back to you." I think outloud. "I'll make my way back, just like I promised."
I stand up and get ready for a long walk down a long and narrow road across the field.
-Flashback-
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.
I start to look around the field for anything that could be of use. After hours of searching the field I managed to find a decent supply of berries that I had to store in my pockets and an old discarded water bottle. I didn't want to take the water bottle but I didn't have a choice, it was the only thing I had that could be used to store water. As the hours passed the day started to shift into night, in the distance I can see the sun lowering and the moon rising. I immediately head towards a nearby tree and sit underneath it.
'This isn't the best but I need to sleep before I head out.' I think to myself.
I rest my head against the tree and sigh.
"I'll make my way back Scootaloo, no matter what happens I'll always find my way back." I mumble to myself.
I let out a yawn before falling asleep against the tree.
-End of Flashback-
I check the berries in my pockets to see if any of them got crushed, to my surprise none of them had been crushed in my pocket while I slept.
"Some good news at least." I say with a smile.
I start my journey towards the place the rainbow trail went to. A large white city in the distance.
"Here I come."

Scootaloo has a conversation with Rainbow Dash telling her about Daniel and Scootaloo's relationship, Rainbow Dash is confused by this and starts to ask questions. Scootaloo's answers give Rainbow Dash something to think on. In the end she helps Scootaloo get back to her house in the hopes of finding Daniel.
Daniel has prepared himself for his journey and is ready to start his travels after a nights rest. A pocket full of berries and an old water bottle is all that Daniel has in aiding him to get to the city in the the distance that the rainbow trail lead to. Daniel is ready for a long journey to find his special somepony.
Both wanted to get back to eachother only to just miss eachother by a few hours. They where so close yet so far.
