Her real birthday wasn’t a few months ago... it was a few days ago.” >”Wait... why didn’t she tell me?” >”NOT IMPORTANT! They have her, the Rainbow Patrol’s taking her now!” >All the no’s >Wait a second dude. >Fuck off brain, now is the time for action. >NO! I need to tell you.... I’m with you man. >Thanks brain, let’s do this. >You bolt to your house, the door had already been kicked in. >In your room. >YES >You grab the small wrapped package and head out down the road. >You’re running faster than you’ve ever run. >Take off! >Wait, what? >Dash has you by your armpits.... >”You... you’re going to help?” You shout up to her over the noise. >She looks down at you and smiles. “I’m your bro, you know I got your back.” >“What about ‘tradition’ and all that stuff?” >Her gaze is stern and set in stone. “Fuck tradition, this is a family matter.”   >Ok, this is bad, but you’re sure things will.... >Damn that cloud’s low to the ground. >that’s no cloud, that’s a zeppelin. >Dang that thing is huge, how did you miss that flying outside of P0nyville? >Dash looks down at you, “You’ll get one free shot. I’ll try to land you close by.” >Free shot? Free shot at what? >Whoa! that’s a dive... The ground’s getting pretty close. >What’s that? >Shit, 2 Pegasus guards and 1 Scootaloo. Now you get it. >Perpendicular angle to them, buzzing the grassline, getting close. >You raise your feet up and brace for impact. >Damnit! the first guard spots you and hits the dirt. >No such luck for the second. >BAM! DOWN GOES FRAZIER! >Dash whips around and you’re back on the ground not 10 feet away. >Oh man, that guard that ducked is back up. >”What do you hope to accomplish?” He booms at you. “Even if she were to try to run, it would just fail!” >”“The only guaranteed way to fail,” you say as you toss out the package you were so set to grab. “Is to not even try.” >The scooter you’ve worked so hard on rolls to a stop just in front of Scootaloo. >She looks at it for a second and smiles. >Now you got it kid.   >What’s that move where you grab the handlebars and whip the scooter/bike’s body around? >Whatever it is, Scoots does it. >The remaining guard falls to the ground as his foreleg gets smacked out from under him. >You don’t need to say it, but you do anyways. “RUN!” >Damn you forgot how fast she could be on one of those things. >Two more guards pile out of the zeppelin. >Dash, damn that magnificent mare. >She buzzes them hard and fast and they take off after her. >All that’s left is Captain Killjoy who’s recovered and starts off towards Scoots. >Oh hell nah! >10 feet? You close that easy. >Want to fly ass? Well you have a hold of his back legs and.... uh-oh >Dummy, Dash could lift you, why did you think he couldn’t. >Carry? I don’t care! >FALCON PUNCH! >You rolled a nat 20 on your called shot, his balls. >Ok, new problem, gravity. >You grab him around the waist and twist your body. >You saw this in a movie once. >In theory, his body will absorb most of the impact and your kinetic energy will..... >Hello ground.   >You cough and spit the blood out of your mouth. >You pray you only bit your lip. >Now, have to make sure... >AH MY LEG! >A hoof knocks your leg out from under you. >A second sends you to the ground sprawled on your back. >Damn, this asshole’s still alive and kicking. >He’s on you. Pinning you to the ground with his fore hooves. >He rears back and... >Crack! There goes a rib or two. >”Couldn’t just let the little waste go, could you?” He growls as he rears back. >Sorry Scoots, Hope you can find some other family. >What’s that noise? >Damn, your girl CAN fly. >She leans back. >A backflip, ballsy move. >The rear wheel of Scootaloo’s scooter makes contact with the homicidal guards face. >He sprawls across the field. >She swings back around. >Why isn’t she smiling? She should be ecstatic. >You look over your shoulder. >Oh, may have something to do with the small army behind you.   >Well, it was fun. You did your best. >Least you can do is go down with some dignity. >”Company!” You hear a cry from somewhere. “CHARGE!” >Welp.... >The first few ranks stop. They don’t just stop, they hit something, like an invisible wall. >Are you a wizard? >Wait, what are you seeing? >A boulder flies out of left field and breaks the ranks. >From the rear, it looks like bodies are flying. >Is that? Is that really Pinkie Pie sucking p0nies into a cartoon dust cloud? >You turn to run, but you notice that at least 3 guards had found their way around the shield, guess it wasn’t a bubble. >”You hurt my friend, I will be. YOUR. END!” Fluttershy impacts the ground between you and them. >Are they just running from her stare? Damn. >Rainbow pops down next to you. “Get Scootaloo and get out of here Dash.” You shout. >She doesn’t question you. She takes the kid and zooms off. >You turn back as the last of the dust settles. Aside from Fluttershy who’s now next to you and Rainbow Dash, you see Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack. >You... you helped me. >”Well duh silly, we’re your friends.” >”And we couldn’t possibly let poor Scootaloo suffer any heartache.” Rarity adds. >Damn, that was... damn. >An unfamiliar voice calls from the battlefield. “Bravo, my little ponies.”   >Fluttershy starts shaking next to you and her eyes are nothing but pinpricks. >You put a comforting hand on her shoulder. It doesn’t help much. >“Th...th....the Director....” She spits out. >Through the smoke walks a muscled, older Pegasus with an eyepatch. >Why an eyepatch? Oh that’s right, because he’s evil. >You puff out your chest and stare him down. “You’re not taking her.” You warn. >The bastard laughs. “What? Will you use the ‘Elements of Harmony’ to turn me into a sunflower or something?” >Oh man. Brain you with me? >Fuck yes. >Feet? What’s the temperature like? >Hot bro. >Body? >I’ve seen better days, but I’ll manage. >Heart? >Do you even need to ask? >”They could use the elements.” You start walking towards him, picking up a stick as you do. “Or I could just beat on you until you beg me to stop.”   >The ass is just smiling at you >You start walking fast. Just before you break into a run, you hear Rainbow. >”Stop!” >What the hell? She’s supposed to be getting Scootaloo out of here, why’s are they back. >The Director looks up at her. “Ah finally, somep0ny with a sense of tradition.” He points to the ground with a hoof. “If you’d be so kind and bring the child here please.” >Ha, like she’d ever.... What? Rainbow? why are you going to him? >Her head hangs low “you’re a p0ny of tradition and rules huh?” >Bro, why are you doing this? >With outstretched hooves, she presents Scootaloo, poor Scootaloo. She’s not even struggling. >The Director pauses, examines the filly. >He just shrugs and turns away leaving Dash with Scootaloo. >”Oh well, traditions are tradition. I’ll spare any repercussions seeing as though you all are the Princess’ special favorites.” >What’s happening? >Twilight interjects. “Oh don’t worry, she’ll hear all about it and this factory!” >The Director turns and raises an eyebrow. “My dear, who do you think authorized the facility in the first place?” >And like that, he takes off.   >That’s it. >You fall back into the dirt, sitting in stunned silence. >”Th.. Thank you.” Is all you can muster. >They’re all looking at you with smiles. >Friends looking after friends. Can it get any better? >Dash flutters over and lets Scootaloo down in front of you. >She has her mark... She found her place. >A scooter overlayed on what appears to be a painted human hand..... >No helping it, you’re crying and you don’t give a damn. >She smiles, her own eyes misting over. “You... you came for... for me.” >”Didn’t I say i wasn’t going to just leave you?” >She flies into your arms and presses her face into your chest. “Daddy!” >Well that just made you cry harder.
