Chapter 3: Day With Rainbow Dash

Every student in the class stared at the new colts. Most of them were excited, while others were just curious or shocked. Diamond Tiara started whispering to Silver Spoon. From her tone, she seemed...excited...? When Scootaloo caught a piece of what she said, she almost fainted.

"Hey, they're kind of cute! Especially the white one."

Miss Cheerilee smiled cheerfully at the three colts. "Hello and welcome to your new class! State your names, please."

"I'm Dark Chocolate," the brown colt said.

"I am Indigo," replied the blue unicorn.

"White Wind," said the black-maned, white pegasus coolly.

"Everypony may welcome them to our class," Cheerilee told the class.

"Hey! Y'all got your cutie marks!" Apple Bloom exclaimed, pointing her hoof to the colts' flanks.

Scootaloo took a good look at the colts' cutie marks. Dark Chocolate's cutie mark was a chocolate bar. Indigo's mark was a dark, portal-like aura. White Wind's cutie mark was a light blue windy breeze. Scootaloo felt a bit of embarrassment burn inside her when she saw their cutie marks.

"Hey, good, they're not blank flanks," Diamond Tiara commented rudely. Silver Spoon laughed.

Scootaloo glared at the two snobby fillies, then turned to look back at the colts.

"Dark Chocolate, you may have this desk - " Miss Cheerilee put her hoof on a desk next to Scootaloo. Dark Chocolate looked pleased. "Indigo, you may have the one next to that, and White Wind, that one is free." She motioned towards the seat between Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara. The three new students took their seats, looking comfortable.

Diamond Tiara leaned towards White Wind. Scootaloo watched as she whispered, "Stick with me." White Wind gave her a look of confusion and turned back to Miss Cheerilee.

"All right," she said. "Let's begin."

Scootaloo stepped out of the schoolhouse to find her friends waiting for her. "So, what should we do today?" she asked, glad to take her mind off White Wind. Her eyes were always glancing towards the white colt, even when she tried to get her mind off him.

"I was thinking we could get cutie marks..." Apple Bloom began, but Scootaloo was distracted. White Wind passed by, smiling at her. She blushed, but forced herself to turn back to her friends.

"Great idea, Apple Bloom!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, nodding enthusiastically.

"What?" Scootaloo asked, her eyes widening a little. "I, uh, wasn't listening."

"I said," Apple Bloom repeated with a hint of annoyance, "we could get our cutie marks in babysittin'!

Scootaloo answered, "But I want a cool cutie mark! Not...babysitting."

Diamond Tiara passed by, smirking. "Puh-lease. A babysitting cutie mark? Like, you guys are babies yourselves."

"Yeah, even if you did try it, they'd probably cry once they saw you!" Silver Spoon added, laughing at her own terrible joke.

The two stuck-up fillies laughed harshly and walked away.

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle all rolled their eyes at their snootiness.

"Anyway, if you want an uncool cutie mark, fine. I'm going to go to Rainbow Dash and see if there's anything she wants me to do!" Scootaloo finished.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle nodded. "See you later, Scootaloo," Sweetie Belle said, walking away.

Scootaloo took one last glance at her friends and trotted away to find her idol.

Scootaloo searched all around Ponyville until she found Rainbow Dash napping on a cozy cloud. "Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo cried, clearly excited to see her idol.

"Wha - sis - huh?!"

Rainbow Dash shot up from her napping cloud, startled. She looked around, then spotted Scootaloo and calmed down when she saw Scootaloo grinning at her.

"Oh, hey Scootaloo! I wasn't scared, I was just pretending!" Rainbow Dash replied, nervously chuckling to regain her coolness.

Scootaloo didn't seem to mind. "Rainbow Dash, I was wondering if there was anything you wanted me to do!" she said, fluttering her wings in excitement.

"Oh, yeah?" Dash teased. She flew down to ruffle Scootaloo's hair.

"Well, I don't really need any help today. But maybe you could watch me do my latest flying trick. It's called 'The Hurricane Dash.'"

"Wow! That sounds awesome! Just like you, Dash!" Scootaloo exclaimed, beaming.

Rainbow Dash flew down and landed on the ground, folding her wings. "Well, I am awesome, don't ya think?" she bragged.

"The most awesome, Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo said, encouraging Rainbow Dash and grinning brightly.

"So Scootaloo, want to come with me now?" Rainbow asked, puffing out her chest proudly.

"Yes, Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo answered with enthusiasm. Rainbow flew off to some unknown place while Scootaloo followed.

"Hey Scootaloo, where are your friends?" Rainbow Dash suddenly asked while flying.

"Oh, they're trying to find their cutie marks in babysitting," Scootaloo said, scrunching up her face in disgust when she said "babysitting."

"Well, it looks like they don't want an awesome cutie mark if they want to get it in babysitting," Rainbow Dash said, chuckling.

"Yeah! That's what I said! That's why I wanted to find you," Scootaloo told her.

"Smart move," Rainbow replied, still smiling.

Rainbow Dash suddenly skidded to a stop, which caused Scootaloo to skid to a stop too. Unfortunately, she skidded into a bale of hay as well.

"Whoa!"

Scootaloo poked her head out from a pile of hay. Rainbow was obviously trying to keep from laughing out loud. Scootaloo pulled herself out from the hay and shook her mane, which had bits of hay in it. She blinked and saw that they were near Sweet Apple Acres.

"Heh, nice job Squirt," Rainbow Dash commented. "Now, you want to see my amazingly awesome new trick?"

"Of course, Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo answered eagerly, her eyes huge.

"Awesome," Rainbow said. "And if you want, you could fly really high up so you could get a better view-oh, right. I forgot that you couldn't fly, Scootaloo."

Scootaloo expression changed to a embarrassed and disappointed one. Rainbow Dash probably thought she didn't deserve to hang out with her anymore. She bit her lip and happened to turn her head at that moment, and saw that White Wind from class again!

Ugh, why does he always pop up at the worst times? she thought angrily.

She panicked when she saw White Wind looking in her direction. Scootaloo turned and looked up at Rainbow with determination. "I can fly," she stated boldly.

Dash narrowed her eyes skeptically but nodded anyway. "Okay. Then try it now."

Scootaloo gulped.

Scootaloo licked her lips and started fluttering her wings as fast as she could. She felt her hooves leave the ground, and she began hovering in the air. "I did it!"

"Now try flying higher," Rainbow said, waving her hoof and looking bored.

Scootaloo flapped her wings even harder. She imagined herself flying a hundred feet off the ground, Rainbow Dash's face full of awe and shock, and her puffing her chest out proudly.

"Scootaloo!"

Rainbow Dash's voice made her snap back to reality. She looked down and saw that she was only a few inches off the ground. Scootaloo began feeling tired. She stopped flapping her wings and fell to the ground. She landed face-down in the dirt.

Rainbow started laughing. She fell back in laughter, pounding her hoof in the dirt. Scootaloo got up and sighed. She looked back at White Wind, and he was grinning, too. Scootaloo felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment and sadness as well. She brushed the dust off her orange coat and looked at the ground, depressed. Rainbow Dash stopped laughing and put a hoof on Scootaloo's shoulder. "Hey, don't worry Scootaloo, you'll get better. You know, I was the same when I started flying."

Scootaloo looked up. "Really?"

Rainbow hesitated, rubbing the back of her neck nervously with a blue hoof, then replied,"Er, no. But hey, at least you actually...got off the ground?"

Scootaloo just looked at her sadly. She pushed herself away from Rainbow, away from everypony, and began trotting to somewhere, anywhere but near there. She soon found herself running, swerving away from other ponies and objects. Everypony was yelling at her, but she didn't care. She finally stopped, panting heavily. She looked up and saw Fluttershy's cottage. I went this far? she thought to herself. She decided to go in any way. She was out of breath.

Scootaloo raised a hoof and knocked on Fluttershy's cottage door.

"Coming!" a muffled voice inside said.

A light yellow pony with a light pink mane and innocent bright teal eyes appeared at the door. It was none other than Fluttershy. "Oh, hello Scootaloo," she said, looking surprised to see her. "May I help you?"

"Hi Fluttershy. Um, I was just wondering if I could stay for a while. I, uh, need to unwind a bit," Scootaloo stammered.

"Oh! Of course. And you do look very tired. Poor you! I'll get you some pillows and-" Fluttershy began, but Scootaloo interrupted Fluttershy.

"It's fine. I just need to stay awhile."

Fluttershy nodded and let Scootaloo inside. She shut the door, then looked at Scootaloo. "Do you want a drink, at least?" she asked gently in a motherly tone.

Scootaloo weakly nodded. She climbed on the couch in the living room and sat down. Fluttershy disappeared from sight, to the kitchen most likely. She sighed and thought, Why did I even come here? I wouldn't ever ditch Rainbow Dash, even if she was laughing at me...What made me do it?

Scootaloo was so deep in thought, she flinched when she heard Fluttershy say, "Scootaloo, here's your drink."

Scootaloo tried to hide her shock, but Fluttershy had already seen Scootaloo's startled expression. "Oh! Did I startle you? I'm very sorry, Scootaloo."

Scootaloo looked up at Fluttershy with her light grayish-purple eyes. "It's okay, Fluttershy. I wasn't scared anyway," she muttered.

"Are you sure?" Fluttershy's eyes were filled with concern.

Scootaloo's glare answered her question. "Oh, well, okay. Keep out of trouble, Scootaloo." Fluttershy gave her the plastic cup of juice she was holding and trotted away, her pink tail trailing behind her.

Scootaloo sighed again, when Fluttershy was out of sight. Then Angel, Fluttershy's pet bunny entered into the room. He stared at Scootaloo, his ears twitching.

"Hey Angel," Scootaloo said blankly. "Do you know why I did it?" Angel blinked and simply hopped away. Scootaloo groaned. Her mind swam with questions, but she forced them all away as she sipped on her juice.

"Maybe I just need to take a nap..." Scootaloo finished her drink and placed the empty cup on a table and lay down on the couch. She closed her eyes and fell asleep...
