Some where far from Ponyville.
An explosion takes out a large stone wall. Sirens goes off as guards and soldiers rush to gather the people within the wall. A small colt runs out from the wall. He runs into the night air away from the guards and soldiers who notice his absence and were chasing after him. He was small and young and they thought that they could easily catch up to him. He how ever knew they couldn't, and kept running away form the place where he once lived. The guards continued running towards him as he began to focus his energy to run and for a little something else. Storm clouds began to appear in a normal clear night. This didn't phase the guard but the little running colt was given a new drive and hope. He speed up willing his energy to become his speed and force him forward and calling on the storm to aid him. The guards were nearly on him. In a flash of light he was gone, and a booming sound knocked the guards down. The little colt rejoiced but knew that he had done too much and once his little triumph was done lost control and crashed somewhere, burnt out.
Ponyville School yard
Scootaloo was just cruising on her scooter, on her way to too school. She wasn't really paying attention to the road because she did this so often. She of course was hitting all the little stunts on the way; small jumps above rocks and ponds, some pretty cool grinds on fences. One of those was coming up right now and she wasn't really paying attention to the fact that the fence was broken. She had just landed on the fence when she saw that it was broken. At the last second she managed to escape the deadly fall from the fence to the ground and landed safely aside. She looked at the fence and saw the both of the fences the lead the way to the school. Her curiosity peaked she decided to inspect the fences. On a closer inspection she saw the the bushes on both side of the fence were also damaged, as if something had barreled through them. She looked both ways and deiced to go the the right way and followed the small path of destruction. She continued for around five minutes through trees and bushes till she found a strange colt who was about her age on the ground.
The colt was a bright blue, bright like a neon bright, and had neon yellow mane and tail. he was actually pretty big for his guessed age. Scootaloo got off her scooter and went to the colt, she shook him a bit too see if he would wake up. He didn't. She shook harder this time. Still no response. She hit him in the stomach. Still no response. She shouted next to his ear while hitting him repetitively. No response. Now she was worried., She bent down and put her ear to his chest like Cheerilee taught them to check for signs of life. There a faint breathing but scarcely there. She put on her helmet and dragged the colt onto the scooter and she bolted towards the school.
"MS CHEERILEE! MS CHEERILEE!" Scootaloo screamed as she got near the school.
"Ah, Scootaloo your are late but I', glad you could join us" she said not being able to see the colt that was on the scooter. Scootaloo speed up and manage to fast break right in front of the door. She dragged the the colt and yelled to Cherrilee "Ms Cheerilee! this colt need help" She looked down at the colt and paled, she ran and rang the bell that would alert an emergency to the town. She helped Scootaloo get the colt onto the teacher's desk. Cheerilee tried to get his heart pumping as the wait for the ambulance to arrive and get him. Scootaloo was scared, she didn't know the colt but she didn't want them to die, death sucked. Once the ambulance arrived Cheerilee helped the doctor bring him into the ambulace and jumped on. She then grabbed Scootaloo who it turn grabbed Sweetie Bell who in turn grabbed Apple Bloom.
"Wait Ms Cheerilee why do I have to come?" Scootaloo said while the ambulance speed threw the streets.
"Because you found him, meaning that you are technically responsible for him till he gets to the hospital and we need you to descripe how you found him" Cheerilee replied, turning to a doctor she asked "How is he doctor?"
"Cant tell! He looks like he is in some sort of coma yet we cant get a reading on heartbeat or anything yet for some reason. Once we get him to the hospital we will be able to help him more." Cheerilee looked nervous and Scootaloo felt bad about his condition as if it was her fault. She looked at the colt who was still unconscious, then she saw him move his mouth. She looked closer and saw him do it again this time she could only make out part of it which was "Away".
Once at the hospital, the rushed the colt onto a stretcher and into the E.R strapping on oxygen mask and putting on the EKG. Cheerilee and the girls followed his progress till he stopped in a room with see through glass walls. A doctor came up to them and said " Hello, My name is Ruby Treasure, I am the doctor who will be working on your case. Now do you know about any relatives of his or family members that we will have to notify?"
"No" Ms Cheerilee said "Scootaloo now might be a good time to explain where you found him"
Scootaloo was a bit nervous but began to tell how she had found him. once she was done the doctor nodded and said that they could leave if they wanted to. Cheerilee led the girls to the waiting room and got them all some chocolate milk and cookies.
"So you found him unconscious in a trail of wreckage?" Sweetie Bell asked. They had been silent for a long time and she felt like it was time to break the silence.
"Yah, it was weird. There was fences that were broken and bushes that looked like someone shoot a canonball through. There was even a tree that had a large hole in it." Scootaloo said.
"And he was found at the end of this trail.?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Yeah! Weird isn't it?" Scootaloo replied
"Do you think he did all that?" Sweeti Bell thought out loud.
"How? He would have to be as fast as Rainbow Dash and have a head of iron" Scootaloo said " And there is o way he is faster or even as faster then Rainbow Dash" she finished defending her idol.
"Well maybe he was shot out of ah canon" said Apple Bloom.
"He would still need a helmet of steel" Sweetie Bell said.
"And there wasn't a helmet near by anyway." Scootaloo said.
"So then ho' did he blow through a tree and other stuffs'?" Apple Bloom asked to no one in general. The three argued about how the colt could have barreled through a tree and other things all the way back to the school. During the school day she thought about the young colt who she was worried for. Wait, why am I so worried for him, He isn't my responsibility anymore now, why am I worrying. But she didnt stop worrying until the next day.
The net day she decided that after school she would go check up on him. She didn't know if he was going to be awake or not but she decided to be prepared and brought a sandwich and some cool drinks. She walked into the hospital felling a bit nervous considering no one that she knew was ever at the hospital before and she had never visited them during. She didn't know how to start a conversation with them and he was pretty sure that she would chicken out. Then she thought of Rainbow Dash and that if she knew that she was in the hospital sh would come to at least check on her. So she mustered up just enough energy. On the way there she meet up with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell.
"Hey Scoots, where you going with tha'?" Apple Bloom asked.
" I was going to check up the colt we found yesterday." Scootaloo said.
"Then whats with the basket?" Sweetie Bell commented.
"I don't know, I was thinking that if he was awake i would give him some food because i remember Rainbow saying that the food at hospital are terrible." Scootaloo said somewhat blushing at her own kindness.
"That's great! Lets go meet him" Apple Bloom said.
"Yeah we could give him a tour around town if he is up to it!" Sweetie Bell said.
"Yeah lets go!" Scootaloo said new courage sprouting in her chest.
Hospital room
The by begins to wake up. He is groggy on getting his eyes open. His wishes are not to wake up in a large white room again. He heard a door open and then close after he heard the sound of hooves on what he believed to be a cold stone floor. Cold stone floor. That wasn't the sound that he remembered when people come into his chamber. He bolted up right and opened his eyes. He saw three young fillies, he saw the he was in a hospital, he saw that he was free. He jumped out of the bed, ripping the EKG monitors off of him during the process. He looked around and saw that he wasn't back in the place that was supposed to call home. He screamed with joy and jumped in the air, he began cheering for himself running in circle which got bigger and bigger till he didn't realize that he was running on the walls. Eventually once he did he jumped through the window breaking through it.
He didn't think that he was on the third floor but to him that didn't matter. He was free. He ran through the town fast blowing past people and running through the wind. Actual wind. He loved it. Eventually he ran past a pound to which he stopped, and back tracked a bit. He looked at the water with 'aw', he looked at the water and saw the ripple of the water as he touch it. He reveled at how the water eventually stopped and reflected his face back at him. He then out of sheer want to see how it would feel he jumped in. Of course he didn't know how to swim he did his best to stay afloat for a while. He wildly pumped his legs down which keep above the water level for a while be then he accept the fact that he couldn't stay up. He began to call on his power but he heard a splash and then felt someone pull him up. He then opened his eyes on shore soaking wet, he got up and turned to see an light gamboge filly with fuchsia colored hair and purple-gray eyes. She was also wet which led him to believe that she helped him out.
Once she was done panting she said " Are you crazy? Why did you go swimming if you don't know how to swim?" He shrugged and plopped back down on the ground and basked in the suns rays closing his eyes. It felt so warm. He stayed there for w while as the filly next to him regain her breath and also decided to bask in the sun. Eventually they were both dry and the filly decided to get up and say "Well we have to get you back to the hospital. What's your name kid?" He got up and looked at her, he had never talked to anyone his age before let alone filly, he manage to stammer out "N-n-na-name?"
"Yeah,do you have one?" the filly asked a bit confused. The colt shock his head at her.
"Then what do people call you?" She asked her confusion even more evident.
"M-m-m-my number is 4o9" he said thinking that that would suffice. She looked even more confused and said "4o9. Your name is a number?" he nodded "Well maybe well think of a better name later but now you have to go back to the hospital we have to tell them your OK" She smiled and help out her hoof, he hesitated for a bit then decided that she was a friend and grabbed her hoof and she pulled him up. The started walking back the way they ran. 4o9 thinking that this place just might be alright, better then home.
I really didn't know what i was doing here. I just thought of something out fo the blue and i though of writing it down. The idea was actually brought by another authors profile pic. Weird huh?
