A yellow mare with a pinkish-red mane is humming while leaning on a tree. She spots someone in the distance. "Hm? Oh, hey Scootalo- Scootaloo? Well, paint me orange and call me the Element of Honesty! Is that really you?" Scootaloo embraces the mate in a hug. "Oh, Apple Bloom! I've missed you sooo much!!" "Not as much as I've missed you!" Scootaloo walks to the side, admiring the apple trees. "So... are you going to the show tonight?" Apple Bloom goes back to pushing against the tree. "The... show?" "You know... Sweetie Belle's show? She's performing live at-" The yellow mate puts on a mocking voice, "Live at the Canterlot community stage for fundraising charity! Sweetie Belle- the Bridleway star! Come support our perfect little- oops..." She regrets what she said, and Scootaloo turns to her, puzzled. "What happened?" Apple Bloom looks around nervously. "Uhh... um... well... shoot. About a month after you were in a coma, we kept arguing and getting into fights and yaknow... uh... we kinda just..." Scootaloo gets mad and waves her hoof around as she talks, "Stopped talking to each other? Interacting with each other? Being friends? When this happens in movies, it brings ponies closer together. I guess I am just a problem." "Problem? No, no! That's not what I meant at all! I-" Scootaloo shakes her head and turns her back to her old friend, tearing up. "No, no. I don't wanna hear it. I have to get back to the castle. Twilight's expecting me for dinner." "But its 3:00..." "I'm eating early."
Scootaloo busts into the castle and storms up the stairs, past Twilight. "What's wrong? Scootaloo? What happened? Are you o-" the door at the top of the stairs slams in her face, "k?" Twilight slowly opens the door to find Scootaloo in her bed, her face deep in her pillow, crying. "Hey! What happened? Is everything ok?" She turns angrily to her guardian. "Does it look ok? All because of me, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle aren't even friends... no. They hate each other!" "Oh, its not your fault! You didn't do anything wrong! Get some rest, I'll wake you up before the show."
