"You two sure do really like one another." Scootaloo said as she continued to practice basic flying stuff.

"It's a little mushy if you ask me." Gilda said. Rainbow Dash had asked her over after the whole Griffonstone thing a few weeks ago.

"Hey, Soarin really helped me out of a jam, and as you know, loyalty is important to me." Rainbow Dash said.

"I guess if some male helped me out of a jam like what I heard could've happened to you...yeah I suppose I'd be pretty grateful too." Gilda said.

"Besides, we're not being super ultra sappy about this. And I know Rainbow Dash HATES sappy. Besides, sappy isn't my style." Soarin said.

"That's a good thing. Dash needs a Stallion whose romantic in a non-sappy way." Scootaloo said.

"Hey! You almost make that sound as if I NEED a stallion in my life." Rainbow Dash said.

"Whoops! Not the way I meant that to sound. Sorry." Scootaloo said. Gilda noticed something.

"Hey kid, what's this you got stuck in your mane?" Gilda said, ruffling Scootaloo's mane, and taking out a picture of a pony.

"Oh her? Mom gave me that photo and I've kept it in my mane whenever I've wanted to go flying." Scootaloo said.

"Scootaloo...do you know who this is?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"No..." Scootaloo said.

"It's Firefly; the first ever captain of the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow Dash said.

"WAIT WHAT?!" Scootaloo decided to take another peek.

"There's something on the back: Forever in our hearts, Firefly" Soarin said. "I think this is a memorial photo." He added.

"But that's not right...my mother and father never said we were related to anyone named Firefly." Scootaloo said.

"Hmm..." Rainbow Dash.


"You want me to what now?' Twilight asked.

"You know how you did that thing where you found out Pinkie Pie was Applejack's second cousin twice removed? I want you to do that again for Scootaloo. And me." Rainbow Dash said.

"Well okay. This should not take long." Twilight said.

THREE DAYS LATER...

"I was wrong, this took longer then I thought." Twilight said, panicking.

"Uh...Twi...you lost track of time again." Rainbow Dash said.

"BUT IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS!" Twilight said.

"No...it's only been three hours." Soarin said, pointing to a nearby clock. Sure enough, it was not three three days, but rather three hours.

"Why did it feel like three days?" Twilight asked.

"No clue." Rainbow Dash said.

"Does that happen often? If not, might need to get that checked out." Scootaloo asked

"I see...hmm...I see..." Twilight said, going over her notes. "WAIT WHAT?!" She exclaimed.

"What is it Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"If I'm reading this right...you and Scootaloo...are related." Twilight said. "Not really as sisters, more like cousins." She said.

"But I've felt like Rainbow Dash is more like my sister ever since the Shadowbolts helped me get up in the air." Scootaloo said, not even realizing she was hovering in place now.

"...Whoa...Scoots. Your hovering in place." Rainbow Dash said. "Took me a couple of months after I started flying to be able to do that, but it's only been a couple of days." She added.

"How is she flying now anyways?" Twilight asked.

"A potion kind of fixed her up; the recipe was held onto for some time." Rainbow Dash said.

"Wouldn't she need again when she's older? I've never heard of a potion being able to give a cripple the ability of flight for life." Twilight said.

"I'm sure we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Right Dash?" Soarin asked.

"Yep. You don't mind, right Scoots?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I'll drink that potion a million times if it means I can keep flying." Scootaloo said.

"Heh...yeah your both pretty much cousins. And I know I did my routing correctly." Twilight said.

"I doubt you did anything wrong. It's you we're talking about here." Rainbow Dash said.

"I agree with Rainbow Dash; you've got the smarts to not mess up." Scootaloo said.

"Thanks. Still, you both really do act a lot more like sisters then cousins." Twilight said.

"Hey, I may be her cousin, but I'm not going to treat her differently." Rainbow Dash said.

"And I'm still going to be as good as Rainbow Dash someday." Scootaloo said.

"Defiantly related." Both Soarin and Twilight said at the same time.


Author's Note

Yes the three days thing was meant to be a joke. Live with it.
