Scootaloo fluttered her eyes open. She groaned.

She felt soft and warm. She raised her head and looked around.

Bed, basket, books, books, more books.... more books. Yep, she was in the library.

But how?

She remembered Rainbow yelling at her, the piece of metal, the door...then falling.

She heard the sound of hooves coming up the stairs. She quickly dived under the covers, hoping it wasn't Rainbow.

"Scootaloo? Are you okay?"

Scootaloo looked up.

"Princess Luna?"

"Yes. Now you're awake, I was hoping you would like something to eat. You looked battered when I caught you." She hovered over a tray.

Now she remembers. Feeling warm in Luna's embrace.

Scootaloo looked at the tray that Luna placed on the bed.

Hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, fruit shorties and her favourite, apple and cinnamon muffin.

"T-thank you Princess."

"Call me Luna."

Scootaloo nodded and instantly dove into the delicious treats.

Luna watched. She giggled. Her and Celestia used eat like that. With crumbs flying in different directions. She still eats like that actually.

When Scootaloo had finished, Luna picked up the tray and placed it on the floor.

"Scootaloo." She sound stern. "We would like you to come downstairs. To-"

"I know Luna. Answer some questions."

"Good."

Scootaloo jumped out of bed. Now she had a really good look at her body.

Bandages wrapped around her hooves, waist and wings. Plasters on her cuts.

She flapped her wing. "Eep!"

"Oh, don't do that. It will still hurt. But I've managed to reconnect the broken bones." Luna opened the door.

"You mean you used magic to heal me?"

"Yes."

"Awesome. Thanks Princess. If Rainbow Dash knew, she would go to you instead of the hospital, when she broken her wing."

Instantly, when Scootaloo said her name, she stopped dead in her tracks. "Rainbow Dash."

"Come Scootaloo."

Scootaloo followed Luna downstairs to see; Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Spike and Princess Celestia.

"We couldn't find Rainbow any where. She's probably sleeping on a cloud." Twilight smirked.

"No. No she isn't." Scootaloo's eyes welled up at the memory.

"You stupid brat! Did you really think I loved you?! You're nothing! Just a pathetic piece of worthless crap!" She spat at Scootaloo. Scootaloo only cried in response. But I loved you.

"Scootaloo?"

"She tried to kill me."

"WHAT?!"

"Tha can't be true!" Applejack insisted.

"It is. I went to do me flying test. But I failed. So they took me to the Rainbow Factory. They chain me up. And then, there was Rainbow Dash. But not the happy, care free Rainbow. The evil one. She told me I was pathetic. Then she told me that every failed foal got sent here and...and...."

"And?"

"Got put in this big machine. Then liquid rainbow came out."

Fluttershy fainted. Pinkie stopped bouncing off the walls. Rarity froze to the spot. Applejack stood up.

"Tha is not true."

"But it is!"

"So ya tellin me tha Rainbow is pony nappin foals ta turn them inta liquid rainbows?"

"Yes!" Tears poured out of Scootaloo's eyes.

"Well, I does make sense."

Everypony stared at Twilight.

"Only pegasi foals are going missing. And they tell us that they are going to do their flight test."

"S-s-so you mean, R-rainbow Dash kills ponies." Fluttershy fainted...again.

"Hmmm. To see if this is true, we must visit the factory." Luna stated.

"Don't worry Scootaloo." Celestia hushed.

But Celestia knew this was true. She told the pegasi, after Nightmare Moon's banishment, to create rainbows without the use of unicorn or alicorn magic. But something this gruesome!

"Please can you stay be me? Rainbow hates me, and she wants to kill me!"

"Don't worry. You can stay in my back." Luna said.

The golden chariot outside, now held two princesses, five mares and a filly. And were heading to Cloudsdale. Heading towards their death....
