Episode 22: (Scootaloo Arc) The Cold Filly Of Resentment

Shadow wakes up at the tune of Emma's Music Box as he looks at it with sadness and regret in his eyes as he starts a new day in Ponyville…

Scene 22.0: Ponyville, School Of Friendship, 8:32 AM, Day 28 Of 365

4 Days after what has happened in the Village of Alpha, Fenrir has been introduced to the School of Friendship and due to his cool factor of his jib and looks, he manages to fit in that even Blaze befriended him faster than everyone else because of a lot of similarities they both share. As they are having fun in their class homeroom, Shadow looks at the classroom clock and pack his things which raises a curious look upon Fenrir.

Fenrir:

Where are you going, Shadow? Class is about to start.

Shadow:

I'm taking my classes with the Cutie Mark Crusaders since I almost graduated on the first day.

Fenrir:

(Laughing)

It's just like you to excel on your first day, my friend. I'm not surprised on that, especially on how you saved me when we were children.

Everycreature:

(Shocked)

He saved you!? From What!? Tell Us!!

Shadow, Fenrir:

(Annoyed Stare)

Patience Is An Element Of Harmony Too, Ya Know.

Everycreature:

(Annoyed)

YOU JERKS!!!

Shadow:

Welp, I'm off. Catch you guys later.

Krystal:

See ya, Aniki.

Blaze:

Stay out of trouble, Shadow.

Shadow:

(Smiling)

Okay, "Mom".

Blaze:

(Laughing, Smiling)

Get out of here, you jerk.

Scene 22.1: Ponyville, CMC Tree-House, 8:59 AM

Upon arriving at the Tree-House for his lessons, Shadow sees that the only one there is Scootaloo while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are nowhere to be seen and Scootaloo looks annoyed by this.

Shadow:

Where are Sis and Sweetie Belle?

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed Sigh)

You and Apple Bloom are that close, huh? She and Rose are attending a family day at Rose's School. Big Mac is with them and Jersey Mac and Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich with Little Cheese.

Shadow:

I hope Rose is alright around Little Cheese. I noticed he has a crush on her. So where is Sweetie Belle?

Scootaloo:

She was asked to help on a Friendship Problem.

Shadow:

That's the 7th Time This Month. With who? Friendship Problems are usually done in pairs or more.

Scootaloo:

Don't know. I'm hoping it's not her secret boyfriend.

Shadow:

I can see it making their relationship stronger if that's the case since Friendship Problems brings creatures closer together. Speaking of boyfriend…What really happened between you and Uncle Spike?

Scootaloo:

What makes you think Spike and me were a couple?

Shadow:

Certain Foals told me all about it.

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed)

I'm going to have a talk with Apple Bloom about Rose confiding everything to you.

Shadow:

Come on, she's just a filly.

Scootaloo:

A Filly who is in reality at the same age a me and the girls.

Shadow:

Ssh! You want others outside our circle to hear?

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed Sigh)

It's just like Apple Bloom told you: Spike couldn't forget about Rarity. After the whole Clyde incident, I started dating Spike after Apple Bloom gave me her approval. I decided to spend time with him in any and thing he liked so he could feel better but…

Shadow:

He just couldn't forget about her. Sorry to hear that.

Scootaloo:

After we broke up, Sweetie Belle has been acting a little harsh and cold around him. She took delight in making him suffer. Like she was a totally different pony and she had this annoying laugh that looked down at him.

Shadow:

You mean she became like a "Queen" around him?

Scootaloo:

What does that even mean?

Shadow:

It means she behaved just as you described: Harsh, Cold And Takes Delight In His Suffering. Those are the traits of a Queen.

Scootaloo:

I don't want to talk about it anymore! Let's just start with the lesson.

Shadow:

Alright. So what's in for today?

Scootaloo:

Diamond Tiara wants you to help at her store so we need to go there now.

Shadow:

Okay. Are you feeling alright? You seem a little lonely.

Scootaloo:

Of course I'm lonely. Apple Bloom has new siblings…namely Rose and you; Sweetie Belle is hanging out with her secret boyfriend and I'm here stuck with you.

Shadow:

Don't let it get you down. I'm sure you will get your day.

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed)

You are being sarcastic there, are you?

Shadow:

No. I actually mean it.

Scootaloo:

Knock it off. Let's just go.

Shadow:

(Thinking)

I don't blame her for distrusting me after that prank a few days ago. Might as well keep a little distance between us until she can trust me more on her own.

As they head out, the little filly that Scootaloo saw from the Village of Alpha attacks Shadow as she tries to steal his Element of Life. Shadow tries to move away from her in order not to hurt her, but this Little Pegasus Filly moves so fast, that Scootaloo couldn't believe it as Shadow is barely keeping up with her that he switches from his Unicorn Form to his Pegasus Form to try to keep up with her. Some time pass and both Shadow and the little filly are exhausted from all the fighting.

Shadow:

(Exhausted, Panting, Annoyed)

Who…in…Tartarus…are…you?

Wendy:

(Exhausted, Panting, Annoyed)

Like it matters. But if you must know…You can call me Wendy, You Filthy Thief!

Shadow:

(Furious)

How Dare You!! I have never stolen anything in my life!

Scootaloo:

(Thinking, Annoyed)

Says the stallion that stole every apple in Appleloosa and gave it all to a starving caravan.

Wendy:

(Furious)

DON'T LIE TO ME!!! You Stole My Mama's Element Of Life!!! GIVE IT BACK!!!

Shadow:

Why you little!!! This is MY Mother's Memento!!!

Wendy:

LIAR!!! YOUR MAMA STOLE IT FROM MY MAMA!!!

Shadow:

I don't care if you are spoiled brat of a filly, but if you keep spreading lies about my mother…

(Dark & Large Evil Aura, Evil Eyes)

…I Will Not Be Held Responsible With What I Will Do To You.

Scootaloo:

(Thinking, Worried, Scared)

Crud!!! I remembered what Apple Bloom told me…Shadow gets too emotional if somecreature attacks his mother. I want to stop this, but I…can't move. I have…never felt this scared in a very long time. Shadow…Don't do it…

The tension between Shadow and Wendy is reaching critical as both ponies are ready to rip and tear each other apart and Scootaloo is powerless to stop it due to her being scared upon seeing that not only Shadow, but this Mysterious White Filly who for some unknown reason possesses the same Dark Power as Shadow. Before something horrible happens, Apple Bloom and Rose appear out of nowhere and smacked Shadow and Rose on the back of their head hard respectively in order for them to stop and the hit they gave them was so hard, they snap out of all of that anger they felt from each other as they see both Apple Bloom and Rose are furious while hiding their fury under an innocent smile as they also pose an imposing presence which scares the pickles out of them.

Apple Bloom:

(Furious, Hiding Fury Behind Innocent Smile)

What do you think you are doing, Shadow-Chan?

Rose:

(Furious, Hiding Fury Behind Innocent Smile)

What do you think you are doing, Ojouchan?

Shadow: | Wendy:

(Scared, Pointing At Wendy) | (Scared, Pointing At Shadow)

She Started It, Not Me!!! | He Started It, Not Me!!!

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed, Face-Hoof, Thinking)

I was scared of this!? I'm going to smack them myself later!

Back at the Tree-House, Apple Bloom and Rose sits all 3: Shadow, Scootaloo and Wendy on the sofa with Scootaloo sitting in the middle just to keep Shadow and Wendy from physically attacking each other and they also asked for Shadow to stay in his Pegasus Form in order to stop him from using Unicorn Magic or overdoing it with his Earth Pony strength so that Wendy doesn't get hurt if she insults his mother even more.

Apple Bloom:

Now would you kindly tell us what is going on here?

Shadow, Scootaloo, Wendy:

(Angry, Talking Over Each Other)

`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+[{]}\|;:'",<. >/?

Apple Bloom, Rose:

(Furious)

ONE AT A TIME!!!

Rose:

You go first, Scootaloo-Oneesan.

Scootaloo:

I don't know that much. Shadow and me were walking to Diamond Tiara's shop, then out of nowhere This Precious, Wonderful, Adorable, Lovable Filly jump in front of us.

Shadow:

(Disappointed Yet Annoyed Stare At Scootaloo, Thinking)

Oh, For Tartarus' Sake! Not "This Precious, Wonderful, Adorable, Lovable Filly" Crud Again!! Give Me A Dancing Break!!!

Apple Bloom:

Your turn, Shadow.

Shadow:

Same story except this Brat isn't a "Precious, Wonderful, Adorable, Lovable Filly". She's actually a "Worthless, Annoying, Horrible, Despicable Filly" claiming my Mother stole my Element of Life!

Wendy:

YOU DID AND I WANT IT BACK!!! AND HOW DARE YOU CALL ME WORTHLESS, ANNOYING, HORRIBLE, DESPICABLE FILLY!!!

Shadow:

NO! HOW DARE YOU!! NEITHER ME NOR MY MOTHER HAVE EVER STOLE ANYTHING IN OUR LIVES!!!

Apple Bloom:

You did steal all the apples in Appleloosa to feed a starving caravan.

Shadow:

Who's side are you on, sis?

Rose:

(Snickering, Hiding Stifled Laughter)

Shadow:

Et Tu, Rosie Dear?

Rose:

(Mischievous Smile)

Ne, Ne! Aneki? I have an idea!

Apple Bloom notices Rose's smile and makes a smile of her own as listens to Rose's suggestion as she whispers it into Apple Bloom's ear. As soon as she hears it, Apple Bloom's smile turns to a smug one as she and Rose looks at Scootaloo, Wendy and Shadow's direction which worries both Shadow and Scootaloo while Wendy gives them a confused look as they know them better than the mysterious filly.

Apple Bloom:

(Smug Smile)

Rose and me thought of something cool for the 3 of you. Shadow? Remember when you and me met Rose?

Shadow:

(Worried)

I don't like where this is going…

Apple Bloom:

We want you, Scootaloo and Wendy to spend time together…minus the part where Trotter was trying to kill us…just like you spent time with us.

Shadow:

I did that so I could protect you from Trotter! Not because I wanted to befriend Rose…But…

(Smiling)

I'm glad I did happened that way.

Rose:

(Warm Smile)

Aniki…

Shadow:

(Defeated Sigh)

Fine! I'll…I'll do it. But I will never get along with her no matter what.

Wendy:

Finally we agree on something.

Rose:

But you need to do so while staying in your Pegasus Form at all times. You are not allowed to switchback to your Unicorn Form or Earth Pony Form…

(Speaking Telepathically)

…and that includes your Alicorn Form.

Shadow:

(Speaking Telepathically)

Puh-Lease! Like I'd ever resort using my Alicorn Form so reckless and stupid like that.

Wendy:

NO! I want my Element Back!!

Scootaloo:

Please Wendy…give us a chance. If things goes well, we will give it to you willingly…

(Stares At Shadow)

…Right, Shadow?

Shadow:

(Annoyed Sigh)

Yeah, I will. If things goes smoothly…I will help you out. But cross me and this will not end well for any of us…and I really mean "Any Of Us". But…I see what both Rose and Apple Bloom are doing and I agree with their idea.

Scootaloo:

Me too. I've been around Apple Bloom since I was a Filly and since Rose is literally Apple Bloom's other half, then I already know her in the same way.

Wendy:

(Confused)

Huh?

Shadow, Apple Bloom, Rose, Scootaloo:

It's A Very Long Story…

Shadow:

And you are too young to know about it.

Wendy:

(Annoyed)

And you are too old to talk about it since you are senile.

Shadow:

(Furious)

YOU PUNK!!!

Wendy:

(Furious)

YOU CREEP!!!

Shadow:

SPOILED BRAT!!!

Wendy:

JACKASS!!!

Shadow:

MONKEY GIRL!!!

Wendy:

DINOSAUR!!!

Shadow, Wendy:

[Censored]

Apple Bloom, Rose, Scootaloo:

(Annoyed, Disappointed Stare)

They are so similar it's downright ridiculous…

Scootaloo:

(Notices Something)

Say…Are you two related in a way?

Shadow, Wendy:

(Glares At Scootaloo)

I NEVER MET THIS INTERGALACTIC JERK IN ALL OF MY LIFE!!!

Scootaloo:

(Thinking, Annoyed)

Not what I meant. I don't know why but…Shadow's Pegasus Form looks very closely to Wendy. They look almost the same. What makes them different are their colors, age and gender. The way they act is practically the same it's scary. Wendy looks like a cute little girly little filly, but…she's has a foul mouth and is very tomboyish.

(Thinking, Warm Smile)

This feels pretty nostalgic somehow.

Shadow:

By the way Sis…Rose…Why are you both here? Aren't you both supposed to be in School for Family Day?

Rose:

I sensed there was something off. Something or Somecreature that shouldn't be here so I asked Aneki to rush here.

Apple Bloom:

And since Rose has more affinity with our surroundings, I had to follow her lead.

Shadow:

You do realized this could have been another Trotter Situation. I know you are back at full health, but…

Rose:

I have been training with you, Aniki! I can help you!

Shadow:

(Defeated Sigh)

Yeah…you have gotten stronger I'll give you that much. Maybe we could hold off the one attacking us until the others get here to help us.

Rose:

(Smiling)

I think so too.

Wendy:

(Annoyed)

Yeah, right. You are not that strong. I was able to outmaneuver you when we clashed.

Shadow:

(Annoyed)

Because you are a cheating sneak!

Once again Shadow and Wendy are arguing to each other as Scootaloo is actually enjoying this. Apple Bloom and Rose notices Scootaloo's smile that they know this is the right decision. After seeing them, Apple Bloom and Rose decides to walk away and they do so trying to get away unnoticed but Scootaloo notices and gives them an annoyed stare as they return such look with a smug one which Scootaloo can't help but to chuckle. As they get out of sight, Scootaloo puts her front hooves around both Shadow and Wendy and says…

Scootaloo:

(Smiling)

C'mon, you two! Let's have fun today!

Shadow:

I thought I had to go help Diamond Tiara…

Scootaloo:

We can. You can show Wendy how caring and hardworking you are and if Diamond Tiara needs a little help from Wendy and me, we can close the rift between you two.

Shadow:

(Annoyed)

How can there be a "Rift" between Wendy and me when we just met TODAY!?!?!?

Wendy:

He's right. There's no rift.

Scootaloo:

(Amused Sigh & Chuckle)

Shadow, Wendy:

What's so funny!?

Scootaloo:

What is it that you said that one time Shadow? "Opposites Attract, But The Similar Tends To Fight"?

Shadow, Wendy:

(Furious, Pointing at Each Other)

I'M NOTHING LIKE THIS JERK!!!

Scootaloo laughs even harder as Shadow's words are ringing even more factual than ever that Similar Creatures Will Always Be At Odds and she hopes that this will make their friendship the strongest if things goes well.

Scene 22.2: Ponyville, Barnyard Bargains, 11:29 AM

Upon arriving at Barnyard Bargains, Diamond Tiara is annoyed as she was waiting for Shadow and Scootaloo to arrive there 2 hours ago as Silver Spoon is tending the cashier. Seeing the beauty of these 2 mares captivating to her as Shadow notices something odd about Wendy's awe yet familiar at the same time.

Diamond Tiara:

(Annoyed)

You are late! Where were you!?

Shadow:

I was attacked again.

Diamond Tiara:

(Worried)

By a Necron!? Are you alright!? Are you hurt!?

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed, Thinking)

This girl…She's still head over heels for him. First she's angry he's late, but as soon she hears he's been attacked, she becomes a bundle of nerves.

Shadow:

(Sneer At Wendy)

Nothing serious. Just a fly not worth swatting.

Wendy:

(Furious, Smacks Shadow Over The Head)

I'll show you who's the fly!!!

Shadow:

(Furious)

WHY YOU LITTLE—!!!

Diamond Tiara:

(Dominant Presence, Glaring At Wendy)

Who are you?

Wendy:

(Scared, Putting Up A Defiant Front)

I don't need to tell a hag like you anything!

Diamond Tiara:

(Hard Stomp, Furious)

Wendy:

(Scream In Terror, Hides Behind Scootaloo)

Scootaloo:

She's Shadow's Little Sister.

Diamond Tiara:

(Mood Instant Change From Fury To Friendly, Lovey-Dovey Attitude)

Shadow, Sweetie! Why didn't you tell me you had a little sister? Unlike Rose, this little Filly looks just like your Pegasus Form. So you really must be related.

Wendy:

I'm not related to him.

Shadow:

(Looks Away)

Yeah…she's my little sister.

Wendy:

(Furious)

HEY!!!

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed, Thinking)

Shadow…You Jerk! Are you really into Diamond Tiara!?

Wendy:

Ecchi…

Shadow:

(Glares At Wendy)

Diamond Tiara:

Sorry but I cannot allow a filly to work here since you are still in school…But since you are Shadow's little sister I can let you help out. Can't pay you for it but I can give you something for helping out.

Wendy:

(Sees Wonderbolt Poster)

I want that!

Diamond Tiara:

(Friendly Smile)

Be a good girl, help out and I promise to give that to you.

Wendy:

Okay!

Diamond Tiara:

If you start fighting with Shadow or anycreature in my shop, I will not give it to you. Okay?

Wendy:

Okay…

Scootaloo:

You don't mind if I help Wendy? She's new to Ponyville and I don't want her to get into trouble.

Diamond Tiara:

Aright. Make sure she is both welcomed and welcoming of everycreature. I want her to make friends while she's here and who better to help her than the one who helped me.

Silver Spoon:

(Smiling)

Scootaloo along with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle have help a lot of creatures all over Equestria. We are leading happier lives because of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Wendy is surprised to see mares as beautiful as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon needing Scootaloo's help that she starts to wonder if she is more special than she first realize when they met at the Village of the Alphas. For the whole time there, Wendy ignored Shadow and focused on Scootaloo and she was in awe on how everycreature treated her with kindness, smiles and in friendship. This makes Wendy sad as she remembers on how she was being treated before leaving her home as she sees a mare with a similar colors like her as she cough profusely that Wendy rushes to her, but she snaps out of it as Scootaloo calls her out.

Scootaloo:

(Worried)

Wendy! Are you alright? Are you hurt?

Wendy:

(Sad Smile, Tears Flowing Down, Normal Voice)

I'm fine, Scootaloo. I was just daydreaming.

Diamond Tiara:

(Worried)

Scootaloo. You can take her to the backroom and please take your time. Also…give her a few snacks from there and clean her face before coming back, okay?

Scootaloo:

Thanks, Diamond Tiara. Come with me, Wendy. Let's get you some time to relax before helping everypony.

Wendy:

But—

Shadow:

If you worried about that poster of the Wonderbolts…you really need to set your priorities straight, kid.

Wendy:

(Furious)

You—

Scootaloo:

(Annoyed Stare At Shadow)

Let's go, Wendy.

As Scootaloo takes the emotional Wendy to the backroom as both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon gives a stern look at Shadow as he cockily smiles at them only to get Hoof-Slapped by them; Shadow Scream Was Way Overboard as Wendy heard it and started to laugh which didn't go unnoticed by Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and Shadow which the girls are ashamed but notices that Shadow is still smiling only that this smile is a Warm One as he seems happy that Wendy is feeling better now as they now understand why he made that cocky smile at them as they roll their eyes in amusement. In the backroom, Scootaloo serves some tea and cakes to Wendy as she sits by her as Wendy looks at the tea in her cup in sadness as her Golden Eye is glowing ominously.

Scootaloo:

Why don't you tell me the whole story? I won't tell Shadow since I want to hoof him for being a punk.

Wendy:

You really mean it?

Scootaloo:

Yeah. He's a punk, but…he's not a bad guy. He just…rub me the wrong way that I really want to hoof him.

Wendy:

Is he...really a good guy if you want to hoof him?

Scootaloo:

I know I'm not allow to talk about this without his permission, but I think you should know the Real Platinum Shadow.

Scootaloo tells Wendy Shadow's Story from all she know from Shadow himself, Apple Bloom and Rose as Wendy is surprised on what she is hearing as it differs from what she has heard and couldn't believe it. Stardust Memory is a Hero along with her Clone/Daughter Starry Night, Foster Sister Spitfire and Party Members Tia, Goldie Delicious, A Mysterious Crystal Pony Pegasus and The Mysterious Specter. Shadow was looking for his father until he arrives in Ponyville and Jack challenged him to stay there for a full year before meeting, all of his small adventures which includes what happened with Trotter Poisonia, Lord Thanatos, Darkness Dawn and Pony of Shadows Limbo. But as soon as she heard about this Mysterious Crystal Pegasus and Specter, Wendy was surprised that they were friends with Stardust; she felt like telling Scootaloo that's not right, but after seeing all the kindness she has witness from her, Wendy just bite her lip and just let it go.

Scootaloo:

That's all I know. If you want to know more, you should ask Shadow.

Wendy:

Why should I? He's a Jerk! The worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst in the whole wide world!

Scootaloo:

(Thinking, Warm Smile)

She's really a cute little kid. I would love to have a little sister like her.

(Out Loud)

I can't force you to like him or get along with him, but I just want you to know what he has gone through. So now you know. Now it's your turn. Why you hate Shadow and his mom?

Wendy:

My Mama was the Element of Life, then Shadow's Mama stole it from her and then he stole it and…and then…

Scootaloo:

(Sighs)

Where is your mom now?

Wendy:

At home. I need to return her Element of Life to her!

Scootaloo:

We can't help you if can't tell us the whole story.

Wendy:

I…I can't…I promised not to tell.

Scootaloo:

Who? Who made you promise?

Wendy:

...…

Scootaloo:

(Defeated Sigh)

I get it. When ever you are ready to talk, I'll be here. I'll be your big sister while you are here in Ponyville. Speaking of which…where are you staying while until you get the Element?

Wendy:

I…I don't have a place to stay since I just got here.

Scootaloo:

How about you stay with me and my aunts? You will love Auntie Lofty's baking. No pony can bake like her.

Wendy:

Are you sure? I don't want to impose.

Scootaloo:

Are you kidding!? You are more than welcomed! After we are done here, let's meet up with them and setup the guest room for you!

Wendy:

(Crying)

Thank you, Scootaloo! Thank you so, so much!!

Scootaloo:

(Warm Smile)

Anytime. I was taught by the Greatest Flier in all of Equestria to Never Leave My Friends Hanging.

Wendy:

(Excited, Glowing Sapphire Eye, Golden Eye Stops Glowing)

The Greatest Flier!?!?!? You Mean…Rainbow Dash!?!?!?

Scootaloo:

(Wide Smile)

Yeah! She's My Big Sister!! Actually She Is Like My Big Sister…

Wendy:

(Overly Excited)

OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!!!

Scootaloo:

(Thinking, Happy Smile)

This feels like looking into a mirror. This little filly is just like me when I was her age. It feels kinda nostalgic in a way. Maybe…if I bond with her, just maybe…she will tell me why she's really after Shadow's Element of Life and who fed her these lies that Stardust stole it from Wendy's Mom.

(Out Loud)

Let's enjoy a few snacks then go back. I will also introduce Rainbow Dash to you in the next few days. Right now she's on a Wonderbolt Rally until next week with her partner cheering her on.

Wendy:

Okay!!! I can't wait to meet Rainbow Dash!!!

After calming Wendy down, bonding with her and cleaning her tear covered face, they head out and notices that it is closing time as it is 5 PM now and couldn't believe they were in the backroom until that late which saddens Wendy since she wanted the Wonderbolt poster and the reason she wanted it was because Rainbow Dash was front and center of it. But what really hurt her was that the poster was no longer where it was that Wendy was about to cry and her Golden Eye was starting to glow while her Sapphire Eye's Glow Fades, but before she could Shadow clears his throat loudly as he presents to her the poster, while at the same time acting Tsundere about it as he doesn't look at her as he gives her the poster. Wendy is surprised that Shadow did this for her as she can sense he is being honest that she couldn't believe it as she accepts the poster and her eyes return to normal. Shadow notices this and wonders if what his First Teacher has told him.

Diamond Tiara:

(Warm Smile)

Unlike you, Shadow officially works part time for me and he asked me to deduct from his pay in order to get you this poster. I'll admit he can be a little…Edgy…but he's really a nice stallion.

Wendy:

I know that, but…I don't trust him.

Shadow:

(Thinking)

That doesn't make sense. But…her eyes…I feel like I have seen that type of coloring and type before…the one with the black sclera and golden iris and the other with white sclera and sapphire eye. If she feels high levels negative emotions, her golden eye glows brightly and if she if feeling high levels of positive emotions, her sapphire eye starts to glow; and these eyes can never glow at the same time no matter what. I remember something my Nutjob of a First Teacher told me…That there are creatures with Heterochromia Eyes with the same color detail and traits as her…have unique abilities that Rivals the Ancients and can even Challenge the Gods. I wonder…Does Wendy has that type of ability?

Scene 22.3: Ponyville, Scootaloo-Lofty-Holiday's Home, 7:30 PM

After arriving at Scootaloo's home, she introduces Wendy to her aunts and they are already smitten with her as they welcome her as one of their own. Auntie Lofty with the help of Scootaloo, make the guest room for Wendy and as soon as she looks around there she is moved to the point that she starts to cry. Both Auntie Lofty and Auntie Holiday are surprised at this as Scootaloo hugs Wendy and signals to her aunts that she will tell them later. At the dinner table, Auntie Holiday and Auntie Lofty are happy to have a new filly in the house now that Scootaloo is a full grown mare as Wendy has filled a void in their hearts that has been there just recently as Wendy's innocence is a breath of fresh air for them. Later that night in her new bed, looking at the Wonderbolt Poster placed on the ceiling above her bed, Wendy looks at it and reflects on everything she experienced that day, something she never felt in all of her short life as a voice starts to whisper to her…

??? (Male Voice):

Enjoying the respite of your mission, my child?

Wendy:

I haven't forgotten, uncle. I just…I was never treated like this…treated with kindness and love by others other than you and Mama.

???:

You do realize we do not have the luxury of time. Your mother's time in this world is running out. We need the Element of Life in order to save her.

Wendy:

I'm trying, but that Jerk is too strong for me.

???:

Of course he is. You as well as I do know that he is not a normal pony unlike his mother. If you wish to take the Element of Life, you need to aim for his heart.

Wendy:

(Glowing Golden Eye)

But the Element is on his chest by his heart. How am I going to aim for it with that in the way?

???:

Your father's side of your heritage is really immoral. No…what I mean by that is for you to befriend Platinum Shadow and then—

Wendy:

Stab him when he isn't looking!

???:

(Annoyed Sigh)

Will you stop resorting to violence to solve your mother's plight?

Wendy:

But you said Mama doesn't have long! I need to—

???:

You need to convince Platinum Shadow that you need the Element without revealing who you truly are and why you need it. I know this will take too long, so I will do my best to extend her life a little longer as much as I can. After all…she as well as you are very important to me. You and your mother are the last links I have to this world. You are still young. You can create as many links as you want and I suggest you make them while you can. I do not want you to end up like me who has only around a few links to this world…I do not wish to leave you all alone.

Wendy:

I've always been alone. I can live like that.

???:

That is youthful ignorance. The young always believe they can do any and all on their own, but when reality sets in and learn that train of thought is nothing but a fantasy, you will regret in believing in such fallacies. No creature in life can do everything. That is why we were all born with defects and weaknesses. We were born to rely on one another in order to survive. If we cast away the world…if we believe the world revolves around us…we will sow nothing but suffering…for ourselves and all those around us…and that suffering will drive us into a neverending madness that will bring about the end of all life around us. That…is your father's ilk truly desire…They Failed back before the founding of Equestria…They Failed when Trotter tried to end all life 40 Moons Ago when she summoned them into this reality…And They Failed when The Terrible Trio of Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow almost ended all of Equestria with their evil.

Wendy:

(Sleepy Eyes & Yawn, Golden Eye Stops Glowing)

Okay…Good Night…Uncle…Specter…

As Wendy falls asleep, Specter, the once ally of Stardust Memory is watching over the little filly. The Ghost Pony flies up through the ceiling up to the rooftop and outside; but before he makes it all the way, he stumbles into Scootaloo's room and see that she's reminiscing on her picture book of her youth, but out of all of them, her time with Rainbow Dash as Specter can see the look in her eyes and since he's a Ghost Pony, Scootaloo can't see him as he eavesdrop on her. As he looks at the pictures, Specter remembers the time when he was allied with Stardust. He flashes back at that time and remembers Spitfire as a filly hugging with a Teenage Stardust with tears in their eyes as Stardust is wearing a Final-Fantasy-Style Wonderbolt Uniform which is the uniform with armor along her hooves, around her neck where the Element of Life is and back as they looked like they just survived the ordeal with Trotter and suffering the death of Starry Night. As he starts to compare Scootaloo's situation with Stardust's, Specter chuckles as he leaves and once he flies out of the house, he looks down with a curious look as he hopes that Wendy follows his advice.

Specter:

Stardust…Starry…Goldie…I Promise To Keep Them All Safe…

To Be Continued…
