"So, Rainbow Dash, uh, w- what are they going to to do me here?" Scootaloo gulped nervously. "I uh, I've never been to the doctors before." Scootaloo flashed a nervous, yet hopeful look her mother's way.

"Well, you're just getting a shot. You'll be fine!" Rainbow assured. Scootaloo tapped her hooves nervously. She did NOT like needles. She gulped, trying to hold back tears. Scootaloo turned her head away from Rainbow so she wouldn't see her crying. Her eyes darted around, trying to find something in the cramped waiting room to distract her. The walls in the waiting room were covered in posters of ponies such as The Wonder Bolts and Photo Finish. There is even a fish tank in the waiting room, a couple of children friendly books, and a few coloring books. Scootaloo noticed some toys for the waiting fillies and colts to play with.

None of this really interested her, however, but she was bored so she grabbed a book. She grabbed the 6th book in the Daring Do series, Daring Do and the Quest for the Hidden Temple. Scootaloo stared at the book she was holding in her hooves. She had read the first book in the series and they were just a bit scary for her. But she had never told Rainbow Dash before because she was afraid of what her adopted mother would say about her reading such an inappropriate book. Scootaloo was certain that this book is not meant for little ponies, but it was still in the waiting room, so reading it should be okay. Even though it was scary, she didn't want to act like a scardy pony in front of Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo was arguing in her head if she should read it or not, and the not reading it side was winning until Dash snapped her out of her thoughts. "Hey squirt, what do you have there? A Daring Do book? I love that series! Here, let me see it," Rainbow exclaimed as she took the book out of Scootaloo's hooves. Scoots eyes widened in shock as she heard the cries of a little colt. He was crying about how much "it hurt". Scoots curled up into a ball, trying to block out the child's screams. Next Chapter: Needles, Needles, Needles and Even More Bucking Needles!
