- >Why won't she say something?
- >I've sat here, crying on her bed, for five minutes.
- >And all she's done is stare with pity in her eyes.
- "Scootaloo, you're safe here. If there's anything you want to say..."
- >What can I say?
- >Even if I could stop crying long enough to speak now, I don't think I could say anything.
- >Since I got here, I've not been able to stop.
- "Look, Scootaloo. The important thing to remember is that this isn't your fault. No-one will be angry at you for this."
- >I wish I could believe you.
- >My parents blame me for everything anyway, why would this be any different?
- "What Soarin did was wrong, there's no doubt about that."
- >Her hand is on my knee.
- >It's on my knee.
- "What happened to you today was terrible. But it happened TO you. it doesn't make you any less of a person."
- >Why is she touching my knee?
- >Does she like me?
- >Why can't I stop crying?
- >Does she like me like that?
- "People care about you Scoots. I care about you."
- >I think she does.
- >My heart won't stop pounding.
- >She must do.
- >My stomach feels funny
- >Why else would she be saying this?
- >I think I'm blushing.
- "You have to keep that in mind. I don't want to see anything bad happen to you because of this."
- >Kiss her!
- >Now!
- >And she's...
- >Shocked?
- >She's not saying anything.
- >Maybe she just wasn't expecting it.
- >Try again just to be sure
- "Scootaloo, I..."
- >Oh no.
- >She pushed me away.
- >Stupid.
- >Stupid stupid stupid.
- "I think you're confused right now, you don't know what you want."
- >My heart won't slow down
- "I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash! It's just no-one's ever been this kind to me before and-"
- "Hey hey hey, don't worry about it. Really, it's fine. Soarin just really messed you up is all."
- "I guess"
- >I can't tell her now!
- >I can never tell her!
- >She'll only think I like her because I'm broken.
- >Maybe I am.
- >My stomach...
- >I think I'm gonna throw u-
- "Hey, if it's any consolation, I-"
- "HRUUUUGH"
- >Oh god it's everywhere!
- "Ah! Scootaloo!"
- >On Dashie, on her bed...
- >I'll never live this down.
- >I'll be an even bigger laughing stock at school.
- >And she'll never forgive me.
- >I have to go.
- >I have to get out.
- "Hey, Wait!"
- >Run.
- "I thought you'd be out here"
- >Leave me alone.
- "It'll be getting dark soon."
- >Go away.
- "You can't spend the night on the sports field, Scootaloo."
- >Don't sit next to me.
- "It's OK, really."
- >Take your arm off me.
- "Look, I think I understand what you're going through."
- >Oh yeah? How?
- "No-one at school know this, but my mom, the one I'm living with, she's not the first mom I've had."
- "Really?"
- "Really."
- >Oh.
- "I know it's hard to adjust when you've lived for so long with no-one looking out for you."
- >Come on, Scootaloo.
- >You're getting her shirt wet again.
- "Hey squirt, do you want to stay with me tonight?"
- >What?
- "Really? Are you sure? After I threw up all over your bed?"
- "It's fine, really. The sheets are in the wash right now."
- "But, what about my parents?"
- "I've already cleared it with them."
- >Did I fall asleep?
- >Is this a dream?
- "Do I take your silence as a yes, or..."
- "Yes! Yes, Rainbow Dash! Oh, thank you thank you thank you!"
- "Heh, that's great, squirt. Come on, lets get out of here."
- "Dashie! I can't find a towel!"
- "Here you go squirt, I'm handing one around the door now. There are some pyjamas in there too."
- >Is there anything she won't do for me?
- >Gosh, she's so great.
- >Keep it calm, Scoots, you'll probably still find a way to mess this up.
- "Oh, there you are. I've set up this airbed on the floor for you. Extra blankets are right over there."
- "Thanks, Dashie, You're the best."
- "I know. Good night, Scootaloo."
- "'Night, Rainbow dash."
- >So warm.
- >So tired...
- "Hey, Rainbow dash?"
- "Yeah?"
- "You won't tell anyone what happened today, will you?"
- "Never. I promise."
- "Thanks, Dashie."
- >No!
- >Get out of there!
- >You don't belong!
- >Why are you here!?
- >Leave!
- >Now!
- >NOW!
- >No...
- >Please, no...
- >Don't...
- "Scootaloo?"
- >I don't...
- "Scootaloo!"
- >GET OFF!
- "SCOOTS!"
- "AAAAAAAGH!"
- "Shhhhh, it's ok. You're safe. You're safe here."
- >Dash...
- "Bad dream?"
- "Uh-huh."
- >I saw him.
- >He's there.
- >In my mind.
- >He won't leave.
- >Why won't he leave?
- "It's ok Scootaloo, let it out"
- >I can't stop crying.
- >Even if I wanted to.
- "I'm so sorry, Dash."
- "You have nothing to be sorry about. Really."
- >Her arms are so strong.
- >I don't ever want her to let go.
- "Dashie?"
- "Yeah?"
- "Uh, do you think it's OK if I get into bed with you?"
- "Sure, kid."
- >Oh, Dashie.
- >You're so warm under the covers.
- >The way you hold me...
- >I think I love you.
- >I don't ever want to get up.
- >I could die right now.
- >And I'd be happy.
- "Scoots?"
- "Mmm?"
- "Everything's going to be fine."
