“I don’t even know where to begin.” Rainbow Dash flew back and forth as the Friendship Express chugged steadily toward Ponyville. Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Lilymoon, and Ambermoon sat sullenly in their seats. “What were you thinking?”

“We told you—” Scootaloo began, but Rainbow Dash held up a hoof.

“Do not mention the Olden Pony. The ponies in the stands said you started screaming for no reason, pushed through the crowd, ran up to the booth, and told the announcer to stop the show. Nopony saw anything following you.”

“I know it sounds crazy. And at first we didn’t see anything, either, but it really was—”

Rainbow Dash held up her other hoof. “No. Olden. Pony,” she said through gritted teeth. She shook her head and looked down at Scootaloo. “I’m just really disappointed in all of you. You were my guests. And you ruined the entire event.” She turned to leave. Scootaloo rushed over and grabbed her hoof.

“I’m really sorry, Rainbow Dash,” Scootaloo said. Rainbow Dash shook her head sadly.

“Let’s just deal with this later. I’m going up to the front of the train. When we’re back in Ponyville, we’re getting your families together and we’re having a serious talk.” She flew out of the train cabin.

Scootaloo stared out the window as the sun began to rise. She had never felt worse in her entire life. Rainbow Dash had never been this upset with her. Ever. Scootaloo could feel tears welling up in her eyes. The fight with Apple Bloom, the Olden Pony, and now ruining the Wonderbolts’ show? It was all too much. She buried her face in her hooves. A second later, she felt a hoof on her shoulder. She looked up and saw that it was Apple Bloom.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“Why? It’s not your fault I’m a huge disappointment to the greatest pony of all time,” Scootaloo said sadly.

“No. I mean, I’m sorry about that, too. But… I’m sorry I didn’t believe you. And I’m sorry I was mean to you the other night. If I hadn’t said what I said about you bein’ scared of that story, you never woulda gone downstairs, and none of this woulda happened. It’s all my fault.”

Scootaloo let out a long sigh and hugged Apple Bloom. “It’s not your fault, and I’m sorry, too,” she said. “If I’m being honest, I was just jealous. You and Lilymoon have been spending so much time together that I was just worried you’d forget our friendship.”

“Oh thank goodness!” Lilymoon said, sounding relieved. Everypony turned to stare at her. She blushed and turned to Scootaloo. “I thought you were mad at me for some reason.”

“No!” Scootaloo exclaimed. “You’re awesome. Things have just been different lately.” Scootaloo looked at Ambermoon. “But I guess different isn’t bad. It’s just… different.”

“No matter what else changes, you’re always gonna be one of my best friends,” Apple Bloom said. “And when you’re in trouble, I’ll be there. So next time my best friend says that she sees a scary, old pony coming after her, I promise I’m going to believe her.
