Scootaloo opened her eyes to stare at the wall across from her, lips still puckered and hooves still in the air... yet no contact to tell her something was there. No face to love, no eyes to lose herself in... no kiss to keep her from the cruel whips of reality. She let her hooves drop to the floor, eyes still staring into the space that her coltfriend once occupied... a stallion that she had mere moments to confess to, one that she was separated from as soon as she found out. But she didn't feel lonely... she had shared something special with him before he disappeared. Her heart calmed, but beat with strength, confidence, and a small smile grew across her face.
