1. The New Pony

The Cutie Mark Crusaders watched as a new pegasus cleaned the windows to a new shop. She was quite a pretty pony too, with a dark cobalt coat, blue-violet eyes, and a curly black mane and tail with a streak of cyan and a streak of silver.

"Hi, welcome to Ponyville! What's your name?" Scootaloo asked.

"Oh, hello there, I'm Dusky Silvermane."

The Crusaders introduced themselves, and then Apple Bloom asked: "So what are you going to sell in this here store, Dusky Silvermane?"

"I'll be selling and repairing or restoring toys."

Dusky looked back to three joyful faces.

"WOW! Ponyville is getting a toymaker! That's amazing!" Sweetie Belle.

Apple Bloom then took a look at Dusky's cutie mark, it had a threaded needle entwined with a paintbrush dipped in rainbow paint, and asked: "If you make toys, shouldn't you have a toy as a cutie mark?"

"My talents shown here are sewing and painting, it's a rare double cutie mark, tying two talents in one... From the looks of it, the three of you have rare cutie marks too... You all have the shield that unites the three of you, and an icon one the shield that represents something special about the individual."

The Crusaders each took a quick look at their cutie marks while Dusky told them: "The shop will have its grand opening tomorrow. Come and see me me again!"

Dusky went inside the shop while the CMC's ran off to get a treat from Sugar Cube Corner. Where Pinkie Pie overheard them talking about the new arrival.

"There's a new pony in town?" Pinkie Pie questioned.

"Uh-huh, she's opening up a toy shop, she's a pegasus too, named Dusky Silvermane!" Scootaloo declared.

"Ooh, this is SO EXCITING! A NEW FRIEND TO BE MADE!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Did you say Dusky Silvermane? She placed a big order for her grand opening." Mrs. Cake spoke.

"Well I am definitely going now!" Pinkie Declared.
