Rainbow Dash's POV
  I was absolutely baffled.  Scootaloo's eyes were full of pain and shock.  She quickly scurried up the stairs, leaving my uncle and I with a bunch of remorseless children and caregiver.  My uncle had knocked the caregiver, who I later learned their name was Miss Lisa. 
  I ran upstairs to find Scootaloo.  I discovered a horrible sight.
Scootaloo's POV
  After seeing my idol see me as a wimp, I run upstairs.  "Oh, look girls, it's the emo tomboy.  What, are you trying to run home to mommy?  Oh wait, you let her die." jeered Cappuccino.  The rest of her posse snickered while my eyes clouded with tears.  I dashed to my broom closet, also known as my room.  I curled up in the corner and grabbed my stuffed bear named Sugar Bear.  "Now Rainbow will never think I'm cool." I thought to myself. 
  The door of my room creaked open.  "Come to laugh at me more, Cappuccino?"  I turned away.  "No, I came to check on ya, squirt.  Are you okay?"  Rainbow Dash sat next to me.  "Dash, why are you here?"  "Well, my uncle and I came to adopt.  Scootaloo, I understand.  My.............I was abused, too."  "Really?  You know what I'm going through?"  "Yep, and I think I've picked out who's being adopted today.  If they'll say yes, of course."  My dreams dropped into tartarus.  Rainbow Dash would never want me to be her little sister.  She's gonna pick Cappuccino or someone else besides me.  Halfheartedly, i ask, "Who did you pick?"  "Only the coolest squirt ever, you!"  I stared at her, dumbfounded.  "Well, do you want to live with me?  You'd be neighbors with Applebloom."  Tears of joy, not pain for once,start to flow.  "Yes!  Of course yes!  Should I pack my things?"  Dash and I hug.  She kisses my forehead and nods.
  Rainbow was amazed at how little things I had and promised to take me shopping.  I agree.  We walked down the stairs to see a horde of police men investigating.  I almost sink into a flashback, but Dash squeezes my hand.  She gives me a reassuring smile, though I'm not sure if it was for me or her.  We spot her uncle and limp towards him, me because I was pushed and sprained my ankle and her with the broken leg.
  "Girls!  Are you okay?" he asks, rushing towards us.  "Yeah, mostly.  More importantly, I know who we're adopting.  Soarin, meet Scootaloo.  She's your newly adopted daughter." 
  We found a cop who said Soarin could adopt me and gave him the papers.  He signed them.  We were about to leave when I remembered the promise I made to myself.  "Wait, guys, can I have a sec?  I need to do something."  They nodded.  I saw a little glint of pride in Dash's eye, a symbol she understood what I was about to do.  Taking the liter of Faygo from the fridge, I walked up to Cappuccino.  I opened the pop.  I smirked as I poured it on her and her ivory dress.  Throwing the empty bottle behind me,  I ran back to my new family.  As we left the place of my nightmares, Rainbow Dash gave me a fist bump.

Yeah, I know it's short, but it's the best I could do.
