That's it. Loona had put up with that red prick for too long. After all these years he was still holding the fact he adopted her over her head. And today he had pushed one too many times.

"Then quit. I'll just hire a new hellhound." He huffed.

"Fine! I will. And I'll do you a favor and move out so your new hellhound has a place to stay." She snapped before storming out, leaving him to stand dumbfounded.

She had left the office and took a beer from some random shlump off the street on her way to pack up. She managed to hold herself together long enough to get to her room before breaking down and spending the next hour crying over the fight. She knew… or at least thought he loved her like a daughter. But after he chanced off her fifth male friend. She couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to start dating. For love of Lucifer! She's practically an adult. And he knew it was a matter of time this'd happen or she'd flip and attack him for denying her a mate.

Noticing the grimoire out of the corner of her eye. Narrowing her eyes she made up her mind. It might not be the smartest idea. But she wanted and needed to go to a place where her dad would likely wouldn't dream of going. Somewhere friendly… somewhere colorful… somewhere that even she would probably gag at.

The portal opened and for a moment she considered taking the book as a final middle finger to her so-called dad. But the thought of him not having a clue of where she was going. She tossed it onto her bed and grabbed her bag with some food and rum before making her way into the portal.

It didn't take her long to realize that she got what she wanted. But there was a downside. Standing just on the other side of the portal was what looked like a horse. "Well." She thought. "I doubt he'd expect me to go to a place like this."

Smiling, she knelt down and looked into the eyes of the small winged pony. "Don't be afraid. I-" was all she got out before it screamed and galloped off.

Sighing, she got back up and looked around after noting the direction the little one went. "Ok… so I'm in some strange world… in a strange forest…" sniffing the air she gagged and turned to face the source. "And it has feral wood hounds." Cracking her neck she set her bag on a stump. Well… she did need to let off some steam somehow.

Scootaloo fled from the strange wolf lady and made it out of the forest before crashing into Fluttershy, who lived just outside the forest.

"Oh my." Fluttershy gasped. "Are you ok?"

"Forest. Portal. Wolf. Talking." Scootaloo rambled in a panic before quickly looking around. "Have to warn Twilight." With that she started off before immediately running into said pony. "Twilight! Portal! Wolf! Talking! Forest! Help!"

"Calm down Scootaloo." Twilight sighed. "Breath deep." She interrupted. As Scootaloo took a few deep breaths Twilight smiled and sat. "Now… What happened."

"I was on my way back from visiting Zecora. Then this weird glowing hole in space opened up and a two legged wolf stepped out. Seconds later I smelled Timberwolves. So I ran here." Scootaloo explained.

"Oh dear."

"We should help her." Twilight announced.

"But what if she's working with them?" Scootaloo asked.

"Scootaloo. I think your fear is making you imagine things." Twilight laughed. "Come on. The sooner we find her. The sooner we can get to know how she got here and why she's here."

With a sigh, Scootaloo led them over to the spot where she saw the large wolf thing. Blinking, they looked around. "I have a bad feeling about this." Scootaloo whimpered.

Twilight sniffed the air and looked back down the path leading to town. "And it's about to get worse. They're surrounding us."

After a few tense moments Luna stepped out of the trees and looked at them. "I thought you were running away." She huffed.

"Is that…" Twilight gasped at the sight of the Timberwolve's head stuck on the hellhound hand.

Scootaloo hid behind Twilight as Luna followed their eyes to the head. Sighing, she ripped it off and tossed it into the forest. "Plenty more where that one came from."

"Why did?... how did?" Twilight stammered.

"Those things aren't really much of a problem. Give them a week and they'll be back." Loona replied, kneeling down to look them in the eyes. "Now. What the fuck are you two doing here?"

"Please watch your language." Twilight scolded. "We came to find you and get you out of this dangerous place. It's a death trap if you don't know your way around."

"And what about her? Doesn't her parents know she's here?" Loona asked. She paused and blinked in shock as they looked away quietly. "Where are they?" She growled.

"Doing important research all over the world." Scootaloo sighed.

Loona sighed and knelt to look her in the eyes. "Then how about I look after you till you're big enough to be on your own?"

Twilight thought for a moment. "Well… as princess… I do have the power to appoint you as her guardian. But you'd need to stop by the castle to pick up some books to learn about our customs."

"Fine. But I have a few rules." Loona sighed before pointing at Scootaloo. "No hiding things from each other. No matter what." She paused till Scootaloo nodded. "Two, I'm in charge of the house. That means money, who does what chores and bedtime."

"That sounds reasonable." Twilight agreed, as Scootaloo nodded.

"Good. Then let's go. Sooner we get there, the sooner I can figure out a way to get food and money." Loona announced before starting for town.

"What about the Timberwolves?" Scootaloo asked in concern.

Loona smirked back at them. "I got this." She announced before running off.
