(Elsewhere) There laid a dreaming mare thrashing in her bed, speaking while she slept. Her alarm ringing, she was supposed to wake up a while ago but to her the alarm sounded like the sirens of an ambulance. “No… No wait” She mumbles.

(In her dreams)
“No wait”. Said a young mare while trying to get to paramedics to stop loading her in the back of an ambulance. She struggled to get out of the grip of the paramedics; she struggled until one spoke up.

“please little one, stop struggling you’re in no condition to be moving right now. Your left arm is shattered in multiple places, your right arm is fractured at the elbow, and almost every bone In both of your wing are broken, possibly beyond repair.” He said while clamping the last strap to keep her from moving. He loaded her up and banged on the side of the ambulance to let the driver know to start the engine. He closed the back doors and left to passengers seat.

“NO WAIT!!” She said while she tried to get out of the bindings that didn’t allow her to move. “PLEASE LET ME OUT!” she yelled while staring at a wrecked car, that was deep in a ditch.” I HAVE TO SEE IF THEY ARE OK!” She hollered, but the ambulance has begun to leave the scene. “ N-NO WAIT!” she said while tears now slipping down her face. “MOM, DAD!” She yelled at the top of her lungs but the sirens the ambulance where making kept getting louder and louder, until it was too much for.

(End of dream)
The sleeping mare quickly sat up gasping for air, she quickly hit the snooze button on her alarm clock and laid back down on her bed catching her breathe. “Come on Scootaloo they’re just nightmares.” She said but knowing that the nightmares was just like reliving the past, almost every detail in her nightmares where just like the real thing, almost exactly the same in every way. She looks back to the alarm clock to check the time, 8:25 p.m.

“Oh man I overslept.” She said while quickly throwing the cover off with her right arm, but with that quick movement a sharp pain struck her elbow, “AHHH not again.” She said while in pain. “Where is that brace.” She looks in a drawer and finds it. She quickly puts it on and it starts relieving her pain instantly. She looks at her left arm, her arm casted up to her shoulder and down to her hand.

“It’s been two years and my arm isn’t healed yet.” She said while getting and walking to a mirror, she puts her back to it and looks behind herself. In the mirror she sees her bandaged wings, after a while of staring she tries to move them but was only able to shuffle them side to side before some pain starts to form. She sighs and looks to the floor before she realizes that she was going to be late for school. After a while of struggling to get dressed she went to the kitchen to take a couple of prescribed pain killers, before heading out the front door of her house. She continued to look down to the ground saddened a little by the nightmares that keep repeating almost every night of her life. Not paying attention she hears the screeching of tires and a motor of a vehicle.

“Hasn’t anyone told you to look both ways before crossing the street? “said a low, smooth voice. Scootaloo looks up to see someone who she has never seen before. The figure was a black hedgehog with red streaks in his quills. He looked tall even if he was sitting on his motorcycle. He was wearing a black t-shirt with black jacket and pants to match with it, he also wore some shoes that look to advance to be considered shoes. But he most mesmerizing part of him was his eyes, crimson in color. It didn’t take long before she realized she was staring, she quickly looked back down trying to hide the pink tint that started to cover her cheeks. The hedgehog , wanting to go somewhere in a hurry, spoke up.

“Do you need a ride somewhere?” He said while trying not to stare at her injuries. She seemed hesitant to answer the question but she looked back up.

“I-its fine I can walk to the high school it not that far away.” “I’m actually heading there myself, so it wouldn’t be a problem.” He said while reaching for a compartment in the back and pulling out a helmet.

“O-ok” She said while taking the helmet and putting it on.

” What your name?” the hedgehog asked.

“S-scootaloo… yours?” She asked, the hedgehog looks at her and replies.

“Call me Shadow” “Hop on, and watch the quills they might poke your eyes .”He said as he waited for her to get on.

“oh ok “ she replied while trying to get on but one of his spines on his back poked her a little, “Ow.” she said while quickly retracted her hand.

“Hmm I have a solution, if you don’t want to be poked you might have to sit in front of me, but it’s your choice if you want.” He offered her. She hesitated a little but accepted the offer. She carefully got in front of Shadow while slightly blushing. Once she was comfortable Shadow revs up the engine and takes off. The force of the takeoff pushes Scootaloo backwards into Shadow’s chest, it wasn’t enough to hurt her wings but enough for her to feel Shadow with her back. She can feel the hard muscle of his chest and abs. For some reason she felt more protected than embarrassed by the fact she was like that with someone she barely met minutes ago. It wasn’t too long of a drive but soon enough the high school came into view. Shadow stopped gently in front of the school and lets Scootaloo get off.

“Thanks for the ride Shadow.” She said taking off the helmet and giving it to Shadow.

“It was nothing” Shadow replied while putting the helmet back into the compartment.

“If you go now you can make it for the last ten minutes of first period” Scootaloo said with a warm smile while looking at her watch. But her smile quickly faded at the realization at what she has just said. “Oh my God I’m going to be late, bye see you later Shadow.” She said while running and waving back at Shadow before entering the front doors of the high school. Shadow quickly drove towards the side of the school.

“She seems like a nice kid, I wonder how she could of sustained all those injuries.” Shadow thought as he drove towards the student parking lot. He chose a suitable spot to park before parking his chopper. Turning off the engine he gets off but before he turns around he hears a feminine voice behind him.

“Hey you must be the new guy, I’m Rainbow Dash.” Shadow turn toward the voice and sees a mare with a cyan colored fur and a rainbow colored hair. She wore something that an active runner would wear, like her outfit was pulled from a sporting magazine, She wore grey sweatpants with a pair of runners shoes her hoodie was grey in color as well also wearing a black backpack, but the thing that stood out the most was her necklace, it was a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of it. Shadow stopped staring at her and responded back.

“I’m Shadow and Yes I’m new to the school but not new to the area, I used to go to the junior high before I moved up north.” Shadow replied while walking back towards the front of the high school.

“Oh so you’re the one who moved.” thought Rainbow Dash “Why did you move, was it something important. Rainbow Dash asked. Shadow stopped in his tracks, memories flooding his head but Shadow quickly blocked them out before he started to lose himself.

“A number of reasons, but nothing too important.” Shadow said as he started walking again. Rainbow Dash walked beside him before asking another question.

“So I assume you know Scootaloo since I saw her getting off of your chopper.” But Rainbow Dash spoke again before Shadow could reply. “And why did Scootaloo ride in front of you instead of behind you?”

“Well she got poked by some of my quells and I didn’t want her to walk to school by herself so she had to ride in front.” Shadow answered the question, but Rainbow Dash quickly asked another question.

“Why did your quells poke her, don’t you use quell softener that makes quells hair like, most hedgehogs do.” She asked while raising her eyebrow.

“No actually, I was advised by someone not to use it, as it can affect the amount of protection I have.” “If I were to use it, any blunt object could connect with my skull with little effort, but since I don’t use it attacking from behind will be foolish for those who may try.” Shadow explained to Rainbow Dash as they walked through the front door of the school. Shadow explained too well because now Rainbow Dash’s interest was piqued and she had more questions to ask. But Shadow spoke up before she could ask anything. “ I know you have a lot of questions to ask but now isn’t really the time to ask, maybe later I can answer them, but hold off your questions until then, because right now I have to pick up my schedule.” And with that Shadow enters the principal’s office leaving Rainbow Dash to wonder many things about Shadow. But her thoughts were cut short by the ringing of the second period bell. “Well I don’t want to miss another class period, or I’ll have to go to detention again.” She said in her thoughts before walking to her next class.
