"Are you sure this is safe?" I asked Scootaloo as she made the final adjustments on her invention. She had been working on it all week long borrowing parts from Twilight, Dr. Whooves, and Rarity. She explained that we are sure to get our cutie marks as daredevils not to mention break the record for fastest ponies.

"Trust me I've watched Twilight and the doctor work on this stuff all the time," she gets out a remote control and presses a button. "To glory!" faster than a parasprite can fly we take off into the wild blue yonder. "This is awesome!"

"The squirt is going to be so surprised," I said looking at the Wonderbolts tickets I won. Scootaloo was sad that she was sick and couldn't have her birthday party at school. "She is going to...," I look up and see the three fillies racing into the air. "Hang on," I zoom into the air trying to catch up with them . "Stay togeth...," they crash into a window, "hang on...," I follow them inside Twi's home where they landed.

"What in Equestria is going on?" she races up the stairs to see what happened. The fillies look up getting their bearings before looking at their flanks to find nothing. "Is this why you borrowed all that stuff from and doctor to do some crazy stuff.

"Um...," Twilight glared at them as I helped them up. "We saw it in the latest issue of Extreme Pony?" Sweetie Belle said as conjuring a copy of the magazine. Twilight told them it was stupid of them to do this, "we know now," I noticed Scootaloo winced as she got up.

"That's not good," I went over to her, "it looks like you a broke a bone," the little filly gulped nervously looking between me and her injured wing. "Don't worry, Dr. Stable will be able to...," before I can finish she races down the steps as fast as she could.

"What's wrong with her?" Twi asked confused, something me told me there was more than just a busted wing at stake. I follow her down the stairs hoping to catch up with her.

"I can't believe this is happening again," I said finally making it to my house. They're going ship me off to some other family far away from Ponyville. "Maybe I can say Silver Spoon knocked me down the steps and...," the sound of knocking at the door made my heart stop. "Uh...just a second," I said gently placing a blanket over my back to hide my injury.

"Hey kiddo, I wanted to see if everything is okay," Rainbow said as she came into the room. "I know why you ran away," she looked up at me. "You're afraid if someone finds out you hurt yourself again the foster care program will ship you away." I nod slowly, my 'caregiver' told me that if I ended up banged up I'd be sent to some other family.

"They already said if I get one more broken bone I can kiss Ponyville goodbye," she gently placed around me and pulled me close to her. She told me that she wouldn't let anything happen to me. "But Dr. Stable will have to report to the injuries to them," She nodded but explained that she will tell will the agency it was accident and make sure I stay here. "Thank you Rainbow," I snuggled up to her as she gently stroked my good side with her wing.

"Common let's get you fixed up," Rainbow said as we trotted out of the house and towards Ponyvillie Hospital.
