Chapter 5: Decision
*Rainbow Dash POV*
I watched Scootaloo while she slept. How could anyone hurt someone so young? If Scootaloo weren't asleep on my lap I would be out there right now looking for whoever did this to her. Why didn;t I see the signs, Why didn't I see she was hurt? Why do I hurt so much when I look at her lying on my lap, bruised and hurting? "don't beat yourself over this sugar cube" sugarcube? only one pony calls me that, I looked up and met the emerald eyes of Applejack. "Applejack? What are yu doing here?" I asked. "same thing we all are here for" I jumped when a voice sounded behind me, I looked behind me and saw Spike, looking around I realized everyone was here. Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Twilight. "Zecora said you could use some support." Twilight said, I smiled a little bit. "thanks guys" they nodded. "I don't mean to be a sour pony, but why ARE we here?" Rarity asked, I sighed and looked down at Scoot. "Its Scootaloo" I said, they all looked at her, and I told them what happened. To say they were angry would be a major understatement. "Who would ever hurt a little filly!? it just aint right!" Applejack ranted, Fluttershy looked like she was about to cry, Rarity was hyperventilating and Twilight was pacing, like she always does. "We have to do something!" Spike yelled, everyone shushed him. I felt Scootaloo move and looked down, she was still asleep, I glared at spike.
"Spike is right, this can't go on unnoticed. I know exactly who can help" Twilight said "but Scootaloo won't be able to stay in her home until it is safe. She might be-" "I'll take her" I said, everyone looked at me like i grew three heads. "But Rainbowdash, Scootaloo can't fly, she won't be able to get up to cloudsdale with you" FLuttershy said. "so then I will get a place here in ponyville" I am going to win this. "but darling fillies are alot of work to take care of, its exhausting trying to keep up with them" Rarity added "I will be fine, I'm not a moron" Do they even remember who they are talking to? "but sugar cube, what about her school work? and when she gets out of the hospital and needs you there all day?" Applejack asked. "Who are you guys talking to again? I'm Rainbowdash! I can do anything" I am so going to explode. "Rainbow we just want to make sure you can handle this" Twilight said. "of course I can! I will do anything for Scootaloo" I said, "yeah, and its not like we won't be right there in pony ville to help" Pinkie said, wow, she has been so quiet I forgot she was even here. Is that even normal for her? "ok then its settled, Scootaloo will stay with Rainbowdash and Twilight will notify Princess Celestia in the morning." Spike stated. Finally everyone agreed and found a spot to crash for the rest of the night. I looked at Scootaloo, she was smiling in her sleep. Now I know I am doing the right thing, Scootaloo will be safe with me.
