I Won't See You Tonight Prologue Scootaloo's Letter

The doorbell rang through a familiar orange pegasus filly's house early one morning.

With a frown of slight annoyance and heavy fatigue, Scootaloo dragged herself out of bed to check the door. A grin soon rose on her face, though, as she saw the grey Pegasus with a blonde mane and bubble cutie mark standing before her. "Oh hi, Derpy!" Scootaloo exclaimed. "what's up?"

"Just making my mail rounds." Derpy responded in her usual happy yet slightly ditzy tone. She noticed a butterfly and just stared at it with her typical wall eyes stare. For some reason there was a fresh bump on Derpy's head but Scootaloo dodnt know why. Suddenly Derpy's face lit up as she remembered why she was there. "Oh, you got a letter from Rainbow Dash today, Scootaloo!" Rainbow Dash? Scootaloo thought. What would she want to tell me?

"Lemme see... where is it?" The orange filly responded excitedley Derpy dropped the letter she was holding in her mouth, a letter addressed to Scootaloo. "Here you go, Scootaloo! have a nice day." Derpy smiled and flew off in a slightly lopsided and wobbly fashion, leaving Scootaloo grinning. As she watched the Pegasus fly off.

Scootaloo walked back into her house, examining the letter. It was addressed in Rainbow Dash's familiar handwriting, but Scootaloo had no idea what it could be about.

"Scootaloo, honey? what do you have there?" Scootaloo's mom asked her.

"It's a letter from Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo said excitedly.

"Oh! Well I wonder what she wants." Scootaloo's mom replied, far too busy with her work to converse with Scootaloo for any extended period of time. Scootaloo simply shrugged. "I don't know." she said as she trotted happily into her room.

She glanced around her room, admiring its new look and texture; it had recently been painted a light cyan blue color, it was anypony's guess as to why Scootaloo had chosen this specific shade to paint her room, and (of course) was adorned with posters of the Wonderbolts and pictures of her with Rainbow Dash. She sat down on her double bed and looked at the rolled up parchment, admiring it. She ripped off the scroll's ribbon and unfurled the scroll.

While at first Scootaloo's face showed pure joy at the prospect of her beloved Rainbow Dash sending her a letter. Maybe Rainbow wanted to spend the whole day with her, maybe he wanted to teach her to fly. Maybe she, maybe she...the little filly's smile slowly turned into a frown as she read. No it was none of those things this letter contained something she never thought she would hear not from Rainbow Dash. The element of loyalty, best young flier, she had so many accomplishments how could she end up like this. She felt tears build up behind her eyes, she usually didn't cry it wasn't something Dash would do, or so Scootaloo has thought but this letter changed everything. Why why hadn't Rainbows friends noticed she continually asked herself. Surely they weren't that mad at Dash. Scootaloo continued to read the letter feeling so close to tears until she read a word one single word that shattered her. She didn't holding it back anymore she let her tears flow. Scootaloo set the letter down as she continued to sob. Maybe Dash was pranking her? No not even Dash went that far on pranks.

Suddenly Scootaloo heard the one sound that only five minutes ago would have had her in ecstasy but now completely and utterly destroyed her being. It was the sound of a Sonic Rainboom.

She ran from her house with blinding speed wishing desperately she could fly and get there faster maybe even fast enough to help save Dash. Her mother called after her,

"Scootaloo, darling where are you going?" Scootaloo ignored her. Her mother raised her voice,

"Scootaloo get back in here right now!" Her mother demanded. But her words were lost on her daughter as Scootaloo ran towards the source of the boom, to Dragon Mountain.
