“So, tell me Scootaloo, where did you exactly saw this insect pony?” Twilight Sparkle added, keeping a notepad next to her with her magic.

“I was doing my special death-defying three ways turn on my scooter, when I passed next to those bushes and landed straight down that hill. When I raised my head, I saw it. it was like a miniature pegasus but she had antennas and butterfly wings!” the excited filly explained.

“That sounds ridiculous!” Spike said.

“It does not! I´m telling you, I saw it!” Scootaloo replied. “You believe me, right Rainbow Dash?”

“Sure kiddo, I do,” Rainbow said but then she whispered to Twilight. “You're not buying any of this, are you?”

“There´s some facts behind her story. Flutter ponies are said to be creatures of lore, Cadence told me stories about them all the time.”

“Oh, so we're here in the middle of Whitetail Woods because of a bedtime story you heard when a foal?”

“Hey, it's not a bedtime story! There´s some scientific background. Remember the spell I used to give Rarity wings? It´s said it was made by unicorns after their encounter with the flutter ponies!” Twilight insisted but Rainbow wasn't listening.

“Please, your story is less believable than Trixie´s!” Spike said, causing Scootaloo to blush in rage.

“I´m telling the truth! You're just like Sweetie and Apple Bloom! I'll prove you all that I'm not lying!”

And with that Scootaloo rushed over to the the same bushes where she saw the mysterious creature. She was going at full speed and so focused on proving her story that she didn't heard the other ponies warning. She saw a tiny ot of light and rushed after it, trying to catch it. She only end up falling off a cliff, right to a certain death.

It took a few seconds for Scootaloo to realize the ground wasn't coming any closer since she was clinging to a flying pony.

“Oh thank you thank you thank you, Rainbow Dash!” she said, kissing her savoir several times.

“Actually…” a very embarassed Twilight said, holding Scootaloo.

The filly looked to the side and saw Rainbow holding her Scooter and when she realized that, she blushed even harder.

“What were you thinking? You could have end up squashed!” Rainbow chastised her.

“I'm sorry. I just…”

“The important thing is that you're okay, Scootaloo. We better go back home,” Twilight said.

“But, what about the insect pony?” Scootaloo asked.

“I don't know if you really saw it but, after that whole issue with the Pinkie Sense, I learned that absence of evidence it´s no evidence of absence.”

Both Rainbow and Scootaloo looked at her confused.

“It means, that just because you can't prove something doesn't mean it never happened. It's...a matter of faith, I suppose.”

“But, you believe me, right Rainbow Dash?” Scootaloo asked and Rainbow looked at Twilight who nodded.

Rainbow sighed and out a hoof on the filly´s shoulder. “I believe you're the best little sister I could ask for and that´s all I need.”

Scootaloo smiled and gave Rainbow a hug. They were heading back to Ponyville when Spike heard a giggling sound, he turned over and saw a tiny pony with butterfly wings spying from behind a bush.

“Spike! Come on, let's go back!”

Spike blinked and the pony was gone. Scratching his head, the turned over and followed after Twilight and the rest.
