I sit at the table... thinking. Thinking about how to find the others... if they're still alive... Rainbow Dash walks into the room.
"Hey um... thanks for letting us stay here..." She says.
"It's no problem RD, you would've done the same thing for me, also I'd be pretty lonely without you gals here." I say trying to brighten the mood.
"Yeah... thanks for bringing in Scootaloo... after you telling me about her parents and..." She starts to say. "Hey what else would I have done?" I say smirking.
"So I was thinking... are we gonna go and try to find the others...?" I ask bringing the conversation back to business.
"I don't know... it's been a few weeks... what if they're..." She tries to say.
"They're not dead! I can't believe YOU of all ponies would think that." I say with disbelief.
"I know... but what if they are...?" She asks.
"Well... it'll just be us three..." I say. She looks down. I put my hoof on her shoulder.
"It's gonna be okay..." I say before she smacks my hoof away.
"The world is going to hell Ash! Innocent ponies are dieing and we don't know how this all started! It's not okay!" She exclaims.
"Calm down Rainbow... I'm sure somepony will stop all of this... Celestia's guards will take care of them all..."
"And if not...? What if it's never stopped." She interrupts me.
"They will stop it... don't worry..." I say in a hopeful voice.
I go to the window to look outside, not surprised I see a lot of trotters. "Well... we need to make a plan to find the others... we'll go tomorrow... check out Sweet Apple Acres, Sugarcube Corner, and maybe Fluttershy's cottage..." I say thinking.
"Yeah... I mean we can just fly there and-" She starts to say as Scootaloo walks out.
"What about me? I can't fly..." She says.
"Yeah... that's the point... you're staying here." RD says.
"You can't expect me to just sit here, what if they get in, what am I supposed to do buck them in the face?" Scoots argues back.
"She does have a point Rainbow..." I say. Rainbow Dash looks back and forth at me and Scoots.
"Ugh, Ash can we talk for a second...?" She asks me.
"I am not a child!" Scoots argues.
"You're 14!" RD argues back.
"And I'm 17 and you're 19." I interrupt. RD turns to me slowly.
"Not helping." She says annoyed. "Look... Scootaloo, I just don't want you hurt..." She goes up to Scootaloo and hugs her.
"I know Rainbow... and you're the only family I have... fine I'll stay here..." She says giving in.
"Thank you..." RD says. We all say goodnight and I let Scoots and RD sleep in my bed while I sleep on my couch. I look at the ceiling thinking about the plan when I eventually fall asleep.
