Her wings buzzed furiously as the wind blew through her purple mane. Scootaloo was reaching speeds she never had before, partially because she was starting to get older. She must've been going 40 miles an hour on her little scooter. If only Rainbow Dash could see her now. Trees whipped by at lightening speed, the ponies who saw her coming got out of the way, shaking their hooves in frustration once she passed. She was on the last stretch now, straight road on the way to her destination right outside of town...

With her robe in her saddle bag, she was on her way to a Cutie Mark Crusader's meeting. Another meeting in the tree house followed by a bunch of fun ideas to try, hoping to find what they were good at. For once, Scootaloo's mind wasn't on the meeting... it was on how much fun she was having just getting there, and how her speed had grown tremendously in the past few weeks.

She could see Sweet Apple Acres from where she was now. Another half mile and she'd be there.

There were a few bumps she hit along the way. It was always those bumps, which meant she was drawing really close. She'd make a cool stop, take off her helmet in a gnarly way, and then see what the other two were up to. Going at these speeds, however, instead of just jostling her insides like they usually do, the bumps propelled her into the air.

The first bump made her smile as she shot up. Second bump made her laugh. She saw Winona step into the road in front of her, but safely out of the way. She sped up and let her scooter hit the final bump as she had a thought:

Fastest Scooter in all of Equestria... I bet that's gunna be my Cutie Mark!

In the seconds before she would have hit the ground and stopped Scootaloo saw a filly-sized ivory and light purple blur step out into the road going after Winona. She braced herself as she saw a pair of frightened green eyes go wide before the inevitable crash.
