Twelve

Scorpio drank her lemon juice. The cool liquid slipped down her throat and pooled inside of her, lowering the temperature of the zodiac. It was a hot day in Equestria, and she had been enduring in the best way she knew how.

Sitting in the shadow of a large tree, with a nice glass of lemonade.

"Is the juice cold enough? Or maybe you would want a pillow or something?" Fluttershy asked as she hovered over Scorpio.

"No, this is enough." Scorpio answered. The pegasus nodded before leaving. Fluttershy had been an incredibly welcoming host, even after the whole trouble with the ursa. He was still giving her some glances everytime they crossed paths, but nothing really came out of tit. Most of the animals had either got used to her or avoided her, and that worked for her just fine.

"Maybe Aries is right. I should just relax a bit while were here..." She thought as she took another sip from her lemonade. Or she would have, had not a carrot fallen from above her directly in her drink, splashing lemon juice everywhere. She placed the empty glass on the ground before standing up. A carrot, a vegetable that was pulled from the ground, had just fallen from the tree branches. And there was just one explanation for that.

"You..." she growled at eh snickering form of Angel. "I demand you cease this behavior at once. I am a guest in your home, and I will not be treated this way."

Her demand was met with another carrot, this time right between her eyes. Angel grinned evilly as he grabbed another one, having a small stack besides him. Scorpio readied her tail.

"This is your last warning." she growled. Angel stopped, scratched his head for a few seconds, shrugged and launched another projectile. Scorpio snapped the incoming carrot with her tail. It was said that that a foretold war never kills.

Whoever said that was wrong.

"Take this!" Scorpio launched her sting against the bunny, who dodged the repeated attacks, sending carrots her way. Scorpio continued her attack, mercilessly stabbing the poor tree in ehr attempt to get the damn rabbit.

"Stay still you vermin!" Scorpio shouted, but the Angel just kept shuffling between the branches, avoiding all of her attacks.

"Oh dear, is everything alright?"

Scorpio retracted her tail, freezing on her spot as Fluttershy hovered besides her. When did she even get there?!

"Eh, yes! Everything is fine. There is nothing to worry about." Scorpio said quickly.

"Are you sure? I was washing some dishes when I say you using your tail to move the branches. How do you make it so long?"

"I can, eh, I can stretch it so I can get things that are farther away. Nothing else." the zodiac said. She hear Angel snickering from the tree.

"Well, now you see that nothing wrong is happening, so you can go back to, uhm, clean dishes."

"Okay then. Call me if you need anything." Fluttershy hummed cheerfully as she hovered away and back into the house. Scorpio kept smiling until she was sure that Fluttershy was out of sight before returning to her battle stance,r eady to continue her hunt of the miserable bunny.

"Where did he go?" She thought as she peered through the branches, using her extending tail to shake them. But no matter how hard she looked, no bunny appeared. Even the carrots were gone!

"That no good animal..." Scorpio turned away, ready to leave. A carrot sprouted from the ground as soon as she turned, making her trip and fall, face first, into the moist dirt.

"Thats it..." She grumbled. "No more being nice."

With her weaponized tail at the ready, Scorpio stabbed the semi-buried carrot, yanking it out. Attached to it was Angel, whos desperately trying to free the vegetable from the sting.

"I have you now." she grinned. Angel let go of the carrot, choosing to hop away in fear. Scorpio threw the carrot away, blasting after the rabbit. The entire town simply stared as they saw a crazy mare with a rather peculiar tail trying to stab a bunny to death.

Vases, fruits and a variety of objects were victims of Scorpio's wrath, caught in the whipping and slashing if her tail. But the zodiac didn't really care. All she saw was the mocking bunny, who kept stopping every now and then to mock Scorpio, who got angrier and angrier.

"Hey watch it!"

"How is she doing that?!""

"My food!"

"Out of the way!" Scorpio roared as she slashed against a crate. She was about to strike again she was lifted with magic. Twilight and Fluttershy had teleported behind her, and they didn't look very happy. Well, at least Fluttershy didn't. Twilight was positively furious. Scorpio could swear that her hair was smoking a bit.

"A single carp takes nearly of my monthly stipend." Twilight growled. "Do you have any idea how much it will cost to pay for all the damage you have done?!"

"It wasn't me! It was the hare! He's the one who has been taunting me!"

"Not Angel! He would never do that!" Fluttershy said. Bunny jumped on her head." Right Angel?"

The bunny nodded in agreement before shooting Scorpio a smirk. Scorpio tried moving her tail, but was useless. Twilight had covered everything but the stinger. Clever girl.

"You're coming with me and you're going to say sorry for everything you have done." Twilight said, marching like a soldier with Scorpio floating above her. Scorpio gave one last glance at Angel, who was laughing his tail off atop Fluttershy. She clenched her teeth together. This was not the end.

She would have her revenge.
