It was now noon. The giant jewel of light, beaming down onto the ponies and creatures below it. The light sapphire sky was crystal clear, with not a cloud in sight. It was a warm summers day. Adult unicorns and earth ponies went ahead with their daily work and activities, not noticing their scared feathered friends. Every pegasus knew about the oncoming war. Whereas their land brethren didn't. They were scared. Among the last thousand years, pegasi had tried to live with peace. But the dreaded Lords just ruined their lives. With the constant demands. Many were scarred. From either abuse or the fact that the Lords had taken a loved one. Especially, very, very young loved ones. Although this pain, the winged ponies kept this secret from the unicorns and earth ponies. They didn't want everypony to see them as weak. Although they weren't the weakest, physically, they could still be teased by the others. Yes, pegasi were more capable of surviving the most coldest and the most hottest of temperatures, being able to withstand endurance against wind and storms, the other beings would still see them as weak. Therefore, the secret of The Lords were to stay secret.

But now...the secret was getting out. The secret...of war.

"Hey, look!! It's the blank flanks!!" A high voice teased. Three fillies groaned as the owner of this particular voice, and her friend, trotted over.

"Wha is it now, Diamond Tiara?" Applebloom moaned. She was sick of these two fillies. Really, really sick to death of them. There they are, teasing her and her friends about not having cutiemarks, where their cutiemarks are....are...what the hell were they?! A tiara and spoon?! What talent is that?!

"Oh, nothing to do with you, rotten apple." The grey filly retourted. Pushing her blue glasses up further on her snout. Applebloom rolled her eyes. Although she was calm on the outside, inside, she was mentally pushing the two brats off a cliff into a pit of snakes, spiders, mud and rotten fruit.

"What is it then?" Sweetie Belle questioned. Her voice squeaking as per usual.

"Not to do with you either, Squeaky Belle!!" Diamond Tiara snorted. "It's to do about Scootaloo."

"What?" The small orange pegasus piped up. Her head was down in boredom as they sat in the playground of Ponyville's only school. But then she groaned. Guessing that the two bullies were going to tease her about not being able to fly yet. Yes she was a big filly now. Yes, other fillies and colts younger than her were able to fly ages ago. But, when her wings were at the developing stage two years ago, they were....injured by a stallion in armour. Rainbow was only just in time to help her before he could hurt her wings any further.

"Well, my daddy got information from a few ponies saying that the pegasi were going to war." The pink filly puffed her wavy purple mane as she glared at the pegasus. Scootaloo gasped. She knew about the oncoming war and the Pegasi Lords. She knew everything about the Pegasi Lords. Her uncle had told her about them. Her uncle was the reason she was still alive. The Pegasi Lords had taken her mother's life and her father had been forced to join them. That and she had over heard Rainbow's conversations about them.

The unicorn and southern earth pony turned to their pegasus friend.
"Scoots?"

"Has Rainbow mentioned anything about this?"

Scootaloo gulped.
"Yes."

"Rainbow? Rainbow Dash? Pttf! Like she would do anything! She's a traitor to the whole of Equestria!" The brat stuck her tongue out. Scootaloo growled.

"No she's not!! She's doing everything in her power to stop this!!"

"In her power?! She's a pathetic weather pony! What is going to do? Put a rain cloud over their heads?"

"Yeah! Put a rain cloud over their heads!" Silver Spoon repeated. Trying to be smart but acting more stupid than she is. Suddenly, Scootaloo leapt onto Diamond Tiara. Pushing the filly to the floor.

"RAINBOW IS NOT A TRAITOR!! SHE'S DONE SO MUCH FOR EQUESTRIA!! AND NOPONY KNOWS IT!! THEY STILL TREAT HER LIKE CRAP!! SHE NEARLY DIED SAVING EQUESTRIA!!" The orange filly screamed into Diamond's face. Tears streaming down her cheeks.

A fushia mare trotted over from the small red building.
"Scootaloo! Scootaloo!" She called. But the teacher's calls fell on deaf ears. Scootaloo continued to shout at the pink filly.

"SHE'S DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO HELP!! AND ALL YOU DO IS BITCH ABOUT HER!! AT LEAST SHE'S TRYING TO PREVENT THIS WAR!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP!? WHAT'S YOUR BLOODY FATHER DOING TO HELP?! HUH? NOTHING!!" She tugged on Diamond light violet hair.

"Ow!! Stop!!" She wailed as the pegasus assulted her. Cheerilee tried pulling Scootaloo off, but she kept jumping back onto the unfortunate filly.

"Stop this immeadiately, Scootaloo!!" Cheerilee demanded.

"Scootaloo!" A voice called. A male voice.

The orange pony stopped pulling the bully's hair and looked up with teary eyes. In front of her, was an ice blue stallion with a dark, wind swept mane.

"Rainbow Dash would not be too happy about you acting like this. Would she?" The Wonderbolt flashed a sympathetic to the teacher. "I am terribly sorry, Miss, about Scootaloo's behaviour. She's been under a lot of stress."

The cherry pink mare staggered back at the celebrity.
"Er...er...yes...Mr...Mr...Skies...yes....well," She turned to Scootaloo. Who was now by her friends. "Scootaloo. You are suspensed from school for a week. After that, you will have a week of detentions. Understand?"

"Yes, Miss Cheerilee."

"I will also send a note to your uncle about this."

"No! Please don't!! He's already busy with work!! It will only make him angry!!" Scootaloo cried.

Cheerilee sighed.
"Fine then, Scootaloo. But I'll send the note to Rainbow Dash instead. As she is your other guardian."

"Actually, I'll tell Rainbow, Miss. She's very busy at the moment."

"Okay. Then. Goodbye, Scootaloo. I will see you next week. With better behaviour." Cheerilee said sternly. "Come on, fillies and colts!! Lunchtime is over!! Back to class!!" Cheerilee shouted. Earning a chorus of groans. As the others went inside, Scootaloo said goodbye to her friends before walking away with the Wonderbolt. Still mad with the pink brat.

Author's Notes:

You lot thought this was the chapter Rainbow goes to kill the Lords, didn't you?

Don't worry. That's the next chapter. This is set about an hour before the next chapter. And you will love the next one. I felt like adding this chapter cause there needs to be more CMCs. And besides, Scootaloo is an important character. I just couldn't tag her.

Hope you're lovin' it so far!!

I hate Diamond Tiara...
