The Prolouge
Scootaloo woke up late in the morning looking at the time.
"Oh no I'm going to be late!" She thought.
The pegasus got up out of her covers to get ready for her weather patrol duty, she thought that since Rainbowdash was a weather pony she would be to. The only problem is she wasn't very good at it.
"How could I have let this happen?" She said to herself.
She had no time for thoughts because if she was late again today she would get kicked off the weather team. She rushed out the door and flew as fast as she could. She knew she wouldn't make it so an idea came to mind.
"Why don't I talk a shortcut to get there on time?" She thought to herself.
So she did, the only shortcut was through the alley through Sugarcube Corner.
That is when things got bad.

The Strangers
Scootaloo didn't think twice about taking the shortcut.
"What could go wrong?" She thought.
As she was almost through the alley she sees two ponies standing there.
She thinks she can just fly over them. Right as she passes over their heads two other ponies come and jump at Scootaloo.
She gets knocked to the ground, and one of them pick her up and pin her against the alley wall. She makes out two figures.
"Snips, Snails?" "Why would you do this" She said.
It was hard for her to speak because her mouth was bleeding very badly.
"You want to know why?" Snips said.
"When we were colts the Cutie Mark Crusaders made us look like idiots!" Snips snapped.
"Now we have friends you may remember" Snails said.
Out of the corner of Scootaloo's eyes were Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"Just let me go and I won't hurt you" Scootaloo said.
"What are you gonna do?" Snails asked
"THIS!" Scootaloo screamed
She kicked the stallions in the stomach and bolted as fast as she could.
Her wings were still hurt so she couldn't fly, but she could still run very fast. She heard Snails say "WE WILL KILL YOU FOR THIS"
She forgot all about her duty she had to go find the two mares who could help her, Apple bloom, and Sweetie Belle.
