Scootaloo lifts her eyelids and blinks through the light. "Uhh... my head. What's going on... ahh... that's really bright." Twilight, who was fiddling with a flower vase on a nearby table gasps. "Scootaloo! Y-you're actually awake? It really worked? Oh, Rainbow Dash, I'm so sorry I ever doubted yo-" "Rainbow Dash? Rainbow Dash. Where's Rainbow Dash?" Twilight's smile fades a little. "O...oh... I-I'm sorry..." Scootaloo looks at her with confusion in her eyes. "Sorry? For what? Where's Rainbow Dash?" Twilight slowly walks closer to the mare. "Uh, well. She's gone. She spent every living moment making sure you'd survive. I'm sure she'd love to be here right now." "Gone? Like, gone gone?" Twilight can barely bare the look of sadness in her eyes. "Yes... I'm so sorry! Um... You should recover a bit more. Ill make sure you can come home in a few days or so." Scootaloo doesn't know what emotion to settle with. "Home? What home do I even have now?"

Twilight's castle stands before the two. "This one. Welcome! You can live with me!" Scootaloo walks up to the door. "Where is everypony else?" "Well, Spike grew up and went off on his own, Applejack tragically passed away during a battle for harmony, Fluttershy hasn't seen the outside world in who knows how long, Rarity is touring as a world-known fashion designer, and Pinkie Pie is still around here, just not here right now. She should be here soon, though. I invited her to come for a surprise." She pushed open the door. "Surprise!!" Confetti rains down on them. "Pinkie! I'm the one surprising you!" "Ooh! That's makes sense!" They share a laugh. Scootaloo comes into Pinkie's vision. "Uh... hey Pinkie. It's, uh, been a while." "Are you who I think you are? Scootaloo? Oh my sweet Celestia! Scootaloooooo!" She tightly hugs her friend. "Hahaha, nice to see you too." "Ooh! Oh my gosh! You have soooo much to catch up on! Thank goodness I brought my emergency "Welcome Back We Missed You So Dearly" cake! Never leave the house without it..." Pinkie pulls a cake with those words written on it out of nowhere. "I see some things never change." Twilight smiles to Scootaloo. "Change! That's right! I know two ponies who've been waiting forever to see you! In fact... I think one of them's having a show tonight! The other is right here in Ponyville."
