Scootaloo was sitting in the kitchen eating a sandwich as Pinkamena came in. The mare let out a frustrated groan as she sat down at the table.

"Something wrong, mommy?"

"I couldn't find Fluttershy."

"Aw, that's too bad. Oh, I think I broke Ruby's pet..." Scootaloo said, looking away.

"You broke it?" asked Pinkamena.

"Maybe..."

"Scootaloo... Don't lie to me. What'd you do?"

"I may have used some marrow venom on it."

Pinkamena started tapping the table with her hooves while staring at the filly, eyes narrowed. "Marow venom?"

The filly looked innocently at her mommy. "Maybe..."

"How much did you use?"

"Just half of a dose."

Pinkamena nodded. "Good. Any more and you probably would've killed it. Where is it now?"

"It's asleep... Oh, can I go see Twilight?" the filly asked.

"NO!" yelled Pinkamena without thinking.

Scootaloo flinched back.

"She's still a little... edgy. Stay away from her." She paused. "Where's the Changeling asleep at?"

"My favorite room." the filly sing-songed.

"Asleep in your fav-- You used the powder, didn't you?"

"Maybe..." Scootaloo cooed again as the door opened and Derpy came in.

She looked at Pinkamena and saw how unhappy she looked.

"Y-You need relaxing, Pinkamena?" asked the pegasus.

Pinkamena looked over at Derpy. "And how can you help me relax?" she asked with a grin.

"U-U-Um... B-By having..." Her voice trailed off at the last word.

"What was that, Derpy?"

"S-Sex..." The grey mare's face was glowing by the time she said that one word.

Pinkamena held out her hoof, angled downwards. Derpy came forward 'til she was under the table and looked up at Pinkamena. Pinkamena placed a hoof on her head and stroked her mane. Derpy leaned slightly into the petting, lazily smiling.

"Good girl. Always willing to help."

"Always..." she murmured lazily.

"Come give your master a kiss." said Pinkamena.

Derpy leaned up and kissed Pinkamena lightly on the lips.

Pinkamena waited a few seconds before pulling away. "Attagirl. Now, get down. I need to take our guest home."

"O-Oh. Okay. I-I'm gonna go back up stairs..."

"Go ahead, Derpy."

Derpy got down and headed out the door.

Pinkamena got up and headed to the door. "I'm gonna go take our guest back to Ruby's." She stopped in the doorway. "Stay away from Twilight."

Scootaloo waited 'til Pinkamena was gone to role her eyes. She hopped off her chair and headed downstairs to the room where Twilight was being held. She slowly creaked the door open.

"Twi?" she called.

The only light was from the furnace on the far wall. Twilight sat in front of the fire, next the mutilated body of a mare. She was picking her teeth with a sharpened bone from the mare. Blood covered the floor. The once whole bodies of the ponies in the room were now in pieces.

"Wow..." said Scootaloo.

Twilight eyed the filly without turning her head. "Scootaloo." she said softly.

"Yep. It's me. How ya doing? Not still hating me and mommy are you?"

Twilight stabbed her toothpick into the mare's body and stood up.

"Of course not." She let out a somewhat psychotic giggle. "Wh-Wh-Why would I hate you?"

"H-Hey, Twi. Easy. Now, calm down." Scootaloo said, backing up a little.

"Where you going? Heh heh... You just got here."

Scootaloo held the door, ready to shut it if the lavender mare made a bad move.

"I'm not leaving. Just wanted to see how you're doing. How are you doing?"

"G-Good." said Twilight. "I'm just-- heh heh-- fantastic."

"Oh... And you've been..." She looked at the body parts laying about. "...eating well, I see."

"Yeessss. They were... delicious." The mare paused. "W-Would you like to have some fun?" She giggled. "Play a game?"

"Mommy told me not to play with you yet... Sorry."

"But I'm lonely." said Twilight, her voice getting suprisingly deeper.

"I-I'm sure mommy will let you out soon."

The filly reached for her mane, where she had taken to hiding a small knife just like her mommy.

"Sh-She'll never let me outta here. Heh heh. Never!"

"She will soon... but not yet."

Twilight turned and heade to the furnace. She put a hoof on the furnace door.

"You really believe that?"

"Yeah. Mommy just wants to make sure you won't get yourself or us into trouble."

"Is that so?" asked the mare.

Twilight slammed the furnace door shut, causing it to become nearly pitch-black.

Scootaloo pulled her knife free from her mane.

"Fuck. Twi?" she asked aloud.

Just then, the toothpick Twilight was using flew from the darkness and hit Scootaloo in the foreleg.

The filly yelled out in pain. "Son of a bitch!"

Twilight stepped out of the darkness and stood in front of the foal.

"Having fun yet?" she asked with a giggle.

Scootaloo jabbed out with her own knife, stabbing Twilight's foreleg and slashed downwards. "No!"

Twilight let out a giggle as she lost balanced in that leg and fell to her knees.

"Hey. That hurt." she said, somewhat sarcastically.

Scootaloo pulled the bone free from her leg.

"Neither did this, Twilight. So we're even." Scootaloo called, about to shut the door when Twilight leaped forward and tackled her.

"What's the rush?" asked the unicorn.

Scootaloo blindly slashed the mare's chest. "No, no! Get back in there!"

Twilight bit down on the foal's foreleg with the knife.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Scootaloo yelled, kicking Twilight's face.

Twilight let go and held the filly's forelegs down.

"I thought we were having fun." said the mare, giggling.

"A-And what kind of fun is this?"

"Silly filly." said the mare. "The kind of fun where I eat you, of course." she said, licking her lips and grinning.

"I'm not your kind of food!" she yelled, kicking Twilight.

Twilight picked hind hooves up and slammed them down on the foal's hind legs.

"No more kicking, Scootaloo."

Scootaloo spat a needle she kept under her tongue at Twilight, just missing her eye. Twilight flinched a little.

"Nice try, Scootaloo." she said, grinning. "But it looks like you're my next meal."

She opened her mouth ready take a bite.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" came a familiar voice.

Twilight stopped and looked down the hall.

"Heh heh... Shit." she said.

"Mommy!" yelled Scootaloo, relieved.

"GET THE FUCK OFF HER!" yelled Pinkamena as she rammed into Twilight, pinning her to the wall.

"P-Pinkamena. Heh... What are you d-doing here?"

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING TO MY DAUGHTER?!!!!"

"J-Just having s-some fun, is all."

"DON'T EVER HURT HER AGAIN!!!"

"Wh-whatever you say, Pinkie."

The mare threw Twilight back into the room and slammed the door shut, locking it.

Scootaloo got back up and picked up her knife, putting it away.

"Sorry, mommy." she apologized.

Pinkamena whipped around. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"

"i-i just wanted to see if she was o-okay..."

"YOU COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!!"

Scootaloo just looked down. Pinkamena knelt down in front of her and gave her a hug.
"I told you to stay away. She's tough and most things won't affect her. She'll make a valuable companion, but... just stay away from her until then, okay?"

"Okay."

Pinkamena stood up. "Come on. Let's go see what Derpy's up to."

"Kay, mommy."

Pinkamena noticed the bite mark on Scootaloo's foreleg. "Want a lift?"

"Please!"

Pinkamena laid down. "Get on."

Scootaloo got on and got comfy. The mare then stood up and made her way out of the basement, and up the stairs to the top floor where her old room was. She opened the door.

"You in here, Derpy?" she asked.

Derpy let out an "eep" sound and hid under the covers, which had a large wet spot.

"Derpy? Were you doing what I think you were doing?"

"U-Um... I-I-I-I was j-just..." Derpy trailed off as Scootaloo got down and headed out the room.

"I'm gonna go clean this bite... and leave you two alone."

Pinkamena watched her limp away and then turned back to Derpy.

"Derpy." she said, approaching the bed.

"I-I-I... Um... W-Well... You didn't need me to help you relax... s-so I was relaxing m-myself..." said Derpy, her voice getting lighter as she spoke.

"Well, my daughter was almost mauled to death, so... I could use some relaxation now."

Derpy looked out from under the blankets, smiling. Pinkamena got on the bed and laid down next to her.

"You wanna?"

Derpy nodded, pulling the blanket so Pinkamena could get under it.
