Hey everyone! After weeks-months of delay, heeeeeeeeere's Chapter 6!

Sorry for not updating but the holidays have worn me out, as well as dealing with crazy busy days here with icy weather on the way and people going into the panic.

And look, yes I may not be able to update sometimes, but please don't call me lazy okay? I do my very best to work on these, it's just sometimes I get too busy or tired to do so. Remember, I have my own life outside of fanfiction. So please be a little respectful of my work ethics, okay?

Six chapters down, one to go! We're almost there, people!

Sorry if this seemed rushed but I figured if Twilight and Rainbow were really sincere, then Scootaloo would realize that it was all just a mistake.

Also, be sure to credit Park Ryder for helping me with these chapters. Thanks hon!'

And be sure to check out my others stories and like with this story, I'm almost finished with my other current story, "Stacy's Big Brother".

Final Chapter: Scootaloo returns home and Diamond Tiara will get what's coming to her.

Until next time, enjoy!

I don't own My Little Pony or the characters.

Chapter 6: Friendship Repaired

Back in Manehatten, Twilight and Rainbow are searching high and low for Scootaloo but, so far, there have been no signs of the young pegasus anywhere.

"Scootaloo!" Twilight Sparkle called out.

"Where are you?!" Rainbow Dash cried.

After leaving the train station, the two mares went up and down nearly every street of the main part of the city, but still had no luck finding their runaway friend.

"She gotta be around here somewhere." Twilight said as she and Dashie stopped near a flower shop to catch their breath.

Rainbow Dash the suggested, "Do you think anypony might have seen her?"

"I don't know, but maybe we should ask around and see."

"Good idea. Let's go!" the blue pegasus flew down one street while Twilight took another.

They go around asking ponies if they seen her but once again, no such luck. Since Scootaloo had only arrived just a few minutes prior to the search, it's most likely that no pony has seen her or known her just yet. To the crowd, she's just another face among the ponies.

"Excuse me have you seen a filly?" Rainbow was showing a picture to a sales-pony.

"Nope, sorry." she answered.

"Have you seen her?" Twilight did the same with a librarian unicorn carrying books.

"No."

This made Twilight worried even more and starts to think the worst, "This is hopeless!" the purple unicorn thought in a panic, "What are we gonna do?!"

But just when all hope seemed lost, both Twilight and Dashie met up with a friendly taxi stallion who could be of some help.

"I seen her!" he said after looking at the photo.

"Where?!" the two mares asked.

"I think I heard her going by the bridge she said!

"Please take us there!" Twilight pleaded as she and her friend climbed into the taxi.

Taxi Stallion nodded and said, "Hang on!"

As the two friends rode in the taxi, they hoped that Scootaloo was somewhere safe and not trying to make any drastic decisions.

"Oh, I hope she's okay." Twilight sighed sadly.

"Me too." Rainbow did the same.

We cut to the a bridge where Scootaloo is staring at her own reflection with a sad frown on her face. She wondered if her decision to leave Ponyville was a good idea and wondered if anypony else had even noticed that she left.

"Maybe I should go back..but everypony still hates me." she sighed sadly to herself.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear two familiar voices call her name, "Scootaloo!" they cried.

"Huh?" the filly said said as she turned around.

She sees Twilight and Rainbow rushing towards her. Scootaloo was both shocked and surprised that her former friend and ex-hero had come to see her and looked very happy to see her. However, Scootaloo didn't feel the same for the ponies who turned her away and mistreated her and her friends.

"There you are!" Twilight smiled as she stopped to hug her, "We were so worried about you!"

Scootaloo backed away from the unicorn and turns away without saying a word. Both Twilight and Rainbow frowned and felt even more guilty for Scootaloo still felt the pain of what happened earlier that day.

Rainbow Dash took a deep sigh and slowly approached the young pegasus, "Squirt...we are so sorry."

"Why did you come here?" she asked without turning her head.

Rainbow Dash was taken back at the question but remained calm and said, "We wanted to take you home."

Feeling the sudden pain in her heart, Scootaloo shook her head sadly, "I can't..."

"But we know what happened-" Twilight Sparkle tried to explain before being cut off.

"Just leave me alone!" Scootaloo snapped as the tears stung her eyes, "I don't want to talk about it..."

The blue pegasus looked at her friend before focusing her attention on Scootaloo again, "But listen, the other ponies are telling every-pony what happened."

"I said I..." she stopped herself and turned to the older ponies, "really?"

"Yes." Twilight nodded, "Scootaloo, we are really sorry for what we did. We all are."

Scootaloo looks down in confusion as Rainbow went on, "She's right, squirt. I'll admit it, what I did was really harsh and mean but it was because I was angry. I know that's not a good excuse but I was hurt on what it was written. But I didn't realize how much I hurt you and your friends and it wasn't right for any of us to be so harsh. To be honest I don't deserve to be anyone's hero if I didn't listen to them or be mean to them so much."

Hearing the sincere apologies and confessions of her friends, Scootaloo tears up in shame for running away and being mean to Rainbow Dash before keaving.

Rainbow Dash placed a hoof on her shoulder and looked directly into the fillies' eyes, "I promise, we don't do it again. And everypony back home is sorry too."

Scootaloo cries and regrets everything she had done from writing the stories to running away from home and shouting at her hero, who had done everything she could to find her and apologize. Rainbow Dash smiled and hugged her as she cried, meaning that all is forgiven between them. Twilight gave a smile as well as she approached the two pegasi and rubbed Scootaloo's back for comfort.

"I'm sorry!" she sobbed into the mares chest, "I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, Scootaloo." Rainbow said softly, "I forgive you."

"I don't deserve to be forgiven!"

"Of course you deserve it." Twilight added, "You, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom deserve all the forgiveness in Equestria."

"No I don't." Scootaloo shook her head.

Rainbow Dash lifted her head and looked into her eyes again, "Listen, I know you feel bad but it wasn't your fault. You were force to do those mean stuff."

"I know but it was still wrong." the filly broke the hug and wiped her eyes, "Writing gossip stories about other ponies was a stupid idea...not to mention that I yelled at you and pushed you away like a monster."

The older pegasus shrugged and pulled her close again, "Hey, you made a mistake. Everypony does but that doesn't mean you should punish yourself forever."

"Really?" Scootaloo looked up as Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle nodded in agreement.

For the first time all day, Scootaloo smiled and embraced her two friends, "Oh, thank you guys. And you know something? I want to go home."

"Then lets go home." Twilight smiled.

"Right!" the redeemed hero and loyal fan said together.

They take the next train back to Ponyville, ready to start anew. What kind of welcome will Scootaloo receive? And what will await the Cutie Mark Crusaders in the final segment? The final chapter will tell us everything.
