Fluttershy finds her Mark

It was a bright morning with a few light clouds on the southern skies. Fluttershy woke up early to the sound of birds outside her window. Floating out of bed and shaking off sleep, she remembered what day it was today. It was the first day of spring, one of Fluttershy's favorite seasons, and it was also the first day that Fluttershy would meet Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle to "search" for their Cutie Marks.

Swooping out the door, Fluttershy crashed headlong into Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, Twilight! Are you ok? You aren't hurt, are you?" Asked Fluttershy as she helped Twilight off the ground. Fluttershy's cheeks were quite red with embarrassment.

"No, no, I'm fine, thanks. Is Rainbow Dash here yet?" Twilight asked

"N-no, I haven't…" But Fluttershy was cut off by a loud yell of

"INCOMING!"

A young cyan filly came hurtling out of the sky onto Twilight, knocking her over again. Rainbow Dash stood up and brushed herself off.

"Hey Twilight, what's up?" Asked Rainbow Dash

"Oh, nothing… not even me." Twilight muttered sarcastically

"So, how are we going to do this?" Asked Rainbow Dash

"Well, I've put some job names on these cards. We will each take one and spend a day at the job. Eventually, we will find out Marks through process of elimination." Declared Twilight, feeling fairly proud of her plan.

"Sounds like a lot of boring work" Mused Rainbow Dash, currently floating upside down, obviously bored with the proceedings already.

"If I'm not interrupting," Peeped Fluttershy, "I thought we might simply take a walk through the forest and talk about our interests. The forest always helps me think." Said Fluttershy, looking wistfully into the trees past the other two fillies.

With a quick look at each other, Twilight and Rainbow Dash smiled and agreed with Fluttershy.
