Chapter 7: The Beginning

Scootaloo was sitting up on the couch, her eyes wide in fear. "Wh - what?" she said, more softly this time. Her friends looked startled at first, but quickly recovered.

"White Wind is with Diamond Tiara, Scootaloo," Sweetie Belle said softly. "Everypony is saying it at school."

"No..." Scootaloo whispered. "No."

"What's the matter, Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom said.

Scootaloo's cheeks were wet with tears. She got up and slammed her hoof on the ground-hard. "NO!" she screamed. Her friends jumped at her aggressive tone.

"Sc - Scootaloo?" Sweetie Belle asked, nervously glancing from side to side.

"GO AWAY!" Scootaloo yelled, her anger flaring up like wildfire. "JUST GO AWAY!" She turned away from them, mumbling darkly, "I don't want to see you guys."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle teared up at this. They both exchanged looks of hurt and disbelief. "F - Fine!" Sweetie Belle said, turning to go. Apple Bloom glanced at her over her shoulder, the sadness raw in her orange eyes. The two fillies trudged out of the cottage slowly, glancing back every so often.

Scootaloo was breathing heavily, her teeth bared and her heart pounding. Her round eyes were narrowed to tiny slits. A delicate pattern of hooves told her that Fluttershy had entered the room. "Oh goodness! What has happened here?" Fluttershy said, looking around with wide teal eyes.

Scootaloo slowly turned, her dark gaze fixed upon Fluttershy. Fluttershy met her provoked glare, her mouth slightly agape. They stayed like that for a heartbeat, until Scootaloo finally got up and faced Fluttershy. Fluttershy's soft eyes blinked slowly as Scootaloo met her eyes for a while longer.

Scootaloo finally broke the silence by screaming, "GO JUMP IN A LAKE, FLUTTERSHY!" Then, summoning all the strength she could muster, headbutted Fluttershy as hard she could. Fluttershy awkwardly toppled over, her startled eyes visible as she tumbled down. She landed hard on the floor and Scootaloo, seeing Fluttershy's terrified face, smirked harshly.

Scootaloo, still not satisfied, went into the kitchen to get a bucket of water. When she returned, Fluttershy was still on the floor in shock. She clenched the bucket handle with her teeth and threw the freezing cold water on Fluttershy. She looked up at Scootaloo, her mouth still agape. Her pale yellow body trembled as her eyes traveled to her soaking wet body and mane. She finally pulled herself up, staring at Scootaloo for a moment longer before bursting into tears and running out of the cottage.

Scootaloo didn't feel a single pang of sympathy as she coldly watched Fluttershy race out the door, her soaking pink tail leaving a glittering trail of water.

She only trotted out the door after Fluttershy, not to comfort her, but to escape.

As Scootaloo walked, she knew she had to go somewhere else. Fluttershy obviously would not want to have her at her home anymore. I can't go home, she thought. I - I can't. That's the one place I don't want to be. Where can I go? I can't go to Rainbow Dash...that would just be stupid.

She kept thinking of where she could go, her mind whirling with different emotions. She finally stopped to take a rest beside a large tree jutting out in the dusty dirt. She sat down, and suddenly her bare orange flank bumped against something hard. Scootaloo shifted her head and what she saw made her as furious as a dragon who's lost its precious jewels.

A diamond tiara.

Scootaloo snatched the glittering tiara, terrible rage flaming up inside of her. This must be Diamond Tiara's, she thought angrily. The very thought of Diamond Tiara made her go wild. Scootaloo, still grasping the tiara, stretched back her arm and chucked the tiara as far she could.

But she wasn't satisfied.

Scootaloo stood up, her eyes fierce with anger. This was just the beginning.

Me: I'm sorry everypony, you were all probably expecting a bit more. Also, in this story, Scootaloo does have a home, but I'm not going into detail about that.

Indigo: I thought it was quite good.

Dark Chocolate: Poor Scootaloo...

Me: Oh...thank you Indigo. Anyway, read and review everypony! /)
