My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Call of the Cuite
A/N: (Dede42 is busy putting up flags in the writers studio with assistance from Sunrise Blossom and Rarity when there is a loud thunk as something collides with the door.)
Dede42: What was that? (She starts for the door when it opens to reveal a dazed Derpy, who dizzily enters) Derpy?
Derpy: (Shakes her head to clear it) Hi, are you Dede42?
Dede42: I am and you're here about what Roleplayer48 said in his last review right?
Derpy: Yup!
Dede42: Good, because after reading Roleplayer48's review and his ideas, it gave me a fun idea that will primarily host you and Dr. Whooves, or I should say Dr. Hooves since that's the name they use on the show.
Derpy: Really?
Dede42: Yup, and it'll be taking place during the first season of MLP. Actually it'll start taking place during Call of the Cutie Mark, which is the first story that we meet the character Dr. Hooves in.
Derpy: Cool! Can I help you with it?
Dede42: Absolutely!
Derpy: Great! (She notices the flags) What's with the flags?
Dede42: It's Memorial Day and we flag the American flag while we remember those who have given their lives to defend America from its' enemies.
Derpy: Wow, and you celebrate it every year?
Sunrise Blossom: They do. How about you two start working while Rarity and I finish putting up the flags?
Dede42: Great idea, Sunrise. What do you think, Rarity?
Rarity: It would be an honor, darling.
Dede42: Good, come on, Derpy, we've got some writing to do.
(Dede42 and Derpy go to the desk to work while Sunrise Blossom and Rarity go back to putting up the flags.)
Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE: APPLE BLOOM'S BLUES
It was a nice spring day in Ponyville and at the school, the fillies were chatting away as Miss Cheerilee got ready to teach them a new lesson.
"Let's quiet down please," Miss Cheerilee said, walking over to a stand that had a large piece of paper. "We have a very important lesson to get to." And the class quieted down. "Thank you," she continued. "Today we are going to be talking about cutie marks." And she flipped the paper over to reveal another paper filled with different kinds of cutie marks.
"Bo-ring," said a female filly with pale magenta skin, brilliant cornflower blue eyes, pale violet mane and tail with white streaks, she wore a diamond tiara on her head, and she had a diamond tiara as her cutie mark, which had appeared last week. Her name was Diamond Tiara and she was the daughter of Filthy Rich, who was one of the richest ponies in Ponyville.
Miss Cheerilee ignored the filly since the other fillies, which included Apple Bloom who was ready to take notes, were interested, and that included the ones who already had their cutie marks. "You can all see my cutie mark, can't you?" she asked, nodding to the three flowers that were on her flank. "Like all ponies, I wasn't born with a cutie mark. My flank was blank." And she flipped the paper over to reveal one that had a photo of herself as a baby.
"Aww…!" said Twist, a filly with light amber skin, light pink eyes behind a pair of purple glasses, and scarlet red mane and tail. "She's so precious!"
Cheerilee smiled and then continued her lesson. "Then one day, when I was about your age, I woke up to find that a cutie mark had appeared." And she showed them a different photo, which was of her as a teenage pony with frizzle hair, and an 80's-styled outfit.
"Look at her hair!" Diamond Tiara exclaimed and the fillies giggled, saved for Apple Bloom, who was busy taking notes.
"Yes I know, but honestly, that's how everypony was wearing their mane back then," said their teacher, having expected that kind of reaction. "I had decided to become a teacher, and the flowers symbolized my hope that I could help my future students bloom if I nurture them with knowledge. The smiles represented the cheer I hope to bring to my little ponies while they were learning. Now, can anyone tell me when a pony gets his or her cutie mark?"
Twist immediately waved her hoof. "Oh! Oh! Oh! When she discovers that certain something that makes her special!" she answered excitedly.
"That's right, Twist," Cheerilee confirmed. "A cutie mark appears on a pony's flank when he or she finds that certain something that makes them different from every other pony. Discovering what makes you unique isn't something" and as she spoke, Diamond Tiara started trying to get the attention of Apple Bloom "that happens overnight, and no amount of hoping, wishing, or begging, would make a cutie mark appear before its time."
"Pssst!" Diamond tiara hissed once again.
Fed up, Apple Bloom dropped her pencil and fixed the spoiled filly with a look. "What?!" she hissed back and blinked when Diamond tiara offered her a piece of paper, which Silver Spoon was nodding at. Sighing, she took the paper into her teeth-
"Apple Bloom!" Cheerilee exclaimed and the startled filly dropped the paper. "Are you passing a note?" she demanded, disappointed in her.
Apple Bloom's face with red with embarrassment. "Uh, I… Um…"
Cheerilee walked over to the two fillies. "What could be so important that it couldn't wait until after class?" she asked and looked at the paper, becoming confused when she saw that there wasn't anything on it. "It's blank."
Diamond Tiara burst out laughing. "Remind you of anypony?"
Apple Bloom's face went even redder as the majority of her classmates started laughing, too, and she buried her face in her desk while Cheerilee scolded them all, especially Diamond Tiara, about being rude and being a bully. 'I wish I had my cutie mark, I really do!'
Some time later, the bell rang to signal the end of school, and the fillies all exited the school house, chatting happily about the lesson… well, most of the fillies were happy, but Apple Bloom wasn't. She descend the stairs, following Twist, who was bouncing along and was a fellow blank flank, and she noted how her friend was sad.
"Want some sweets?" Twist offered, pulling some pink striped candy sticks out of her saddlebags. "I've got some peppermint sticks. I made them myself."
Apple Bloom shook her head. "Mm-mm."
"They'll make you smi-i-le," Twist added, still offering the homemade candy to her friend.
Apple Bloom shook her head again, dejected. "No…"
Just then, Diamond Tiara trotted up with her best friend Silver Spoon, who had gray skin, violet eyes behind a pair of light blue glasses, two shades of light gray mane, which was braided, and tail, and she wore a necklace of light blue pearls, and she had a silver spoon with a pink heart in the middle of the handle as her cutie mark.
"I don't know why we had to sit through a lecture about getting a cutie mark," Diamond tiara complained. "I mean, waiting for your cutie mark is sooo last week. You got yours, I just got mine. We all have them already." She then gasped and mocked Twist and Apple Bloom, circling them. "I mean, almost all of us have them already. Don't worry, you two, you're still totally invited to my cute-ceañera this weekend," she added, referring to the celebration that was held whenever a filly got his or her cutie mark.
"It's going to be amazing," Silver Spoon added, joining in the rude teasing.
Diamond Tiara beamed. "It's a party celebrating me and my fantastic cutie mark. How could it not be?" she joked and then she and Silver Spoon did their friendship routine and chant. "Bump! Bump! Sugar-lump, rump!" After bumping their rumps, they both walked away, laughing.
"Gimme a break," Apple Bloom grumbled, glaring after them.
"See you this weekend…" Silver Spoon called back mockingly and was joined by her friend. "Blank flanks!" And they disappeared around the bend, still laughing.
After reaching Sweet Apple Acres and putting away her saddlebags, Apple Bloom went out into the orchard to find her big sister, and she was soon complaining about what happen at school, plus about her lack of a cutie mark. "It's not fair! It's just not fair!"
Applejack paused in putting fallen apples into a basket and turned to her little sister. "Don't get your mane in a tangle," she gently scolded while making a mental note to have a serious talk with Filthy Rich about Diamond Tiara being a bully. "You'll get your cutie mark," she added reassuringly. "Everypony gets one eventually."
"But I don't want one eventually!" Apple Bloom wailed. "I want one right now! I can't go to Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera without one, I just can't!"
"'Course you can," said Applejack kindly, having gone to many cute-ceañeras for her classmates before she got her own cutie mark. "Y'know, I was the last pony in my class to get my cutie mark, and I couldn't be prouder of it." She beamed at her cutie mark. "I knew my future was to run Sweet Apple Acres, and these bright shiny apples sealed the deal." She became thoughtful. "Come to think of it, Granny Smith was the last one in her class, too. Huh, same as Big Macintosh."
"I really don't see how that's supposed to make me feel better," Apple Bloom grumbled, resting her chin on a basket of apples. "It probably means that being the last one in your class to get a cutie mark runs in the family." She sat up as realization dawned on her. "…runs in the family. Runs in the family! Runs in the family!" She started bouncing around excitedly. "You've got apples for your cutie mark, Granny Smith has an apple pie, Big McIntosh has an apple half, my unique talent must has som'n to do with apples! Apples apples apples!" She was so excited and that she accidentally crashed into a basket of apples, scattering the fruit, and her face went red with embarrassment while her big sister frowned at her. "Oops… apples."
After helping pick up the apples and put them back in the basket, Apple Bloom went back to her room to make a plan of how to get her cutie mark. 'Applejack, Granny Smith, and Big Mac all got their cutie marks because of apples, which means I should get my because of apples too!' she thought excitedly, writing down a list of different apple-related ideas that could help her get her cutie mark before the celebration.
A/N: In the next chapter, we'll meet Dr. Hooves for the first time. ;) R&R everyone!
