It was a dark, cold, stormy night in the land known as Equestria. Nopony gave a second thought to it. They were all inside anyway. Every foal, filly and brony alike was getting ready to sleep and was climbing into bed if they weren't already in it. Rainbow Dash and Scoot were no exception. They were up in their cloud home. Rainbow was sitting on the foot of Scoot's bed. She had been reading her adopted sister a story.
"….and they all lived happily ever after." Dash said as she ended the story, "Goodnight Scoot! See you in the morning."
"Goodnight Dash! See you then!" the little orange pegasus replied as her adoptive sister closed her bedroom door.
Until a few months ago Scoot never had a sister, or even a mom. All she had was her dad.
Dad.
Just his name being brought up brought sad memories to the young filly of that fateful day she came home to find her dad dead on the basement floor. That part of her life was now behind her. She now had been adopted by Rainbow. She had been found by the blue pegasus in a box after a snow storm that winter. After hearing that she was an orphan, Dash adopted her.
About five minutes later Scootaloo was fast asleep. Rainbow Dash, now in her bed, did the same shortly after.
THE NEXT MORNING- 6:45
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Rainbow Dash's alarm clock went off. It halfway across the room to make sure she actually got up and didn't just turn it off and go back to sleep. The winged filly groggily got up to turn off the beeping machine. After doing so she walked over to Scoot's room to wake her up so she could get ready for class.
"Scoot, it's time for to get ready for school!" she called as she lightly knocked on the door.
No response. Not even a snore or the sound of her breathing. Just like when she was found in the box. Rainbow didn't want a repeat of that. Unprepared for what might be behind the door or even worse what wasn't; she slowly opened her little sister's door. She peaked her head into the room to see that the bed was unoccupied of her little sister. Instead lay a card. It read "BIG SIBS PATROL" in all uppercased gold letterings. The fast pegasus panicked. She didn't know what the card meant or who the Big Sibs Patrol was but she did know that they took Scoot away and that's all that she really cared about.
Without a second to spare, she flew down at top speed to Ponyville; hoping her friends might be able to help. Within seconds she learnt that Scoot wasn't the only pony to have been kidnapped last night. She wasn't quite sure who exactly had been stolen from their families yet, but considering all the ponies calling out names of missing ponies as they ran around town square it must have been a lot. This news shocked her. Who could be so cold that they kidnap so many ponies without explanation? It made absolutely no sense! Just then Pinkie came out of Sugar Cube Corner. Her hair was completely straight and her coat was rather dull. Rainbow knew that only happened when she was really upset.
"What's wrong Pinkie?" she asked as she landed in front of her gloomy friend.
"Hi Rainbow, I'm just a little sad and worried." the pink on pink pony sighed, "You see, I just got off the phone with my parents. It seems my two younger sisters, Blinkie Pie and Inkie Pie, were kidnapped last night just like the others."
The usually very happy pony now had broken down in tears.
"I know how you feel, Scootaloo was kidnapped too," the pegasus said trying to comfort her, "but I think right now we should stop crying for them and start trying to find them. I bet this experience is going to be ten times scarier for them. They might even be in danger."
Pinkie Pie knew Dash was right. She wiped her tears and the two went in search for answers. The first two places would be Carousel Boutique and Sweet Apple Acres. Maybe Apple Bloom or Sweetie Belle knew something about Scoot's disappearance.
