About 2 Months Later,

Button Mash is staring at the clock on the wall, waiting for recess to start. He looks at the board that reads

Today's Subject: Cutie Marks!

Button stops looking at the clock as he seems hyped for this lesson. At first, he did not take cutie marks serious enough, but when he meets Sweetie Belle he sees it in a new perspective.

She shows him that they represent your talent and that if it sticks on you it will for the rest of your life. Sweetie Belle looks board when she sees the board. (Get it?)

She stares at the clock. Button writes a note. He passes it to a pony, who passes it to Snips, who passes it to Sweetie Belle. She reads the note.

The note reads,

Aren't you excited for today's lesson?

Sweetie writes another note. She passes it to Snips, who passes it a pony who passes it to Button.

To be honest, not really.

Why not? Don't you always want to know what your mark holds?

I mean, yes I would rather know than not know but the future for is not just going to revolve arround a mark. Besides, haven't you always not care about cutie marks?

Yes. But that was like me in the past. Right now I know that a cuitie mark revolves of what I do so I just want to know so badly.

Sweetie writes another note. She passes it to Snips.

"Well well well."

Button, a pony, Snips, and Sweetie turns their heads as they see Cheerilee in front of Sweetie's desk.

"Passing notes are we now, Ms. Belle?"

"Ohhhhhhhh."

"It's not her fault, I started the note passing."

"But I responded."

"They're defending each other.", Rumble said.

"Ohhhhhhhh."

"Enough!", Cheerilee yelled,"Button Mash and Sweetie Belle, I appreciate your honesty, so I'm going let you both off with a warning and if I see something like that again, I'm going place you both two in big trouble. You understand?"

They both nod their heads.

"Good." She snatches the letter from Snips as she throws it in a trash can.

"Now, we are going to learn about cutie marks."

"Didn't we already learn this?", asks Sweetie Belle.

"Yes, but this time it's different. We are going to do a vote."

"A vote?", the class in unison asks.

"Yes. You see, I have a sheets showing all cutie marks that only one pony can have. A cutie mark that is not on the sheet does not exist. Each pony will collect a sheet, they will vote for each pony who has not yet gotton a cutie mark of what cutie mark they will most likely get."

Later,

All the votes are now tallied up, Button can't wait to see what cutie mark is most voted for.

"Now remember everypony",Cheerilee says,"whatever cutie mark result you get might not reflected of what cutie mark you will get. This is just a prediction based on other ponies' thoughts of your future."

She passed back the results to each pony who did not receive a cutie mark. Button got his result. He look at the result, frozen. A garbage pony?

"No! This can't be my life!", Button thought,"I'm going to talk with Ms. Cheerilee to straighten things out."

He walks up in front of her desk.

"Ms. Cheerilee?"

"Yes, Button?"

"My result is a garbage pony. I mean I know this is based on other ponies' but do you think there is a more likely chance I'd be a gamer?"

"I'm sorry Button, but gamer is not on the sheet."

"It's not? Well, ok thanks anyway."

Recess Time,

Button sits alone in a bench as he thinks about what Cheerille said.

"I'm sorry Button, but gamer is not on the sheet."

"That's ok."Button thought,"I mean if it's not on the sheet does not mean I won't get it."

"A cutie mark that is not on the sheet does not exist."

Button sighed.

"Can I sit next to you?"

Button looks as Sweetie Belle is next to the bench.

"Sure."

"So, what result did you get?", asks Button.

"I got fashion model."

"Makes sense. Sorry, I did not mean to make things werid."

"It's ok. So what did you get?"

"Garbage pony."

"What? But I heard from your mom that you can't even pick up a garbage bag!"

"It's not my fault they're so heavy.", Button joked.

"Sure."

"It's not."

Sweetie giggled.

"Is that what's wrong?"

"Hmm?"

"The fact that gamer is not an option?"

"Yeah. But I guess I have to accept the thuth."

"Oh come on, I'm sure you won't be a garbage pony."

"It's not that, it's just that. Being a gamer is something I love to do and now I learn I can't have a future of being one."

"It's ironic hearing from you."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you taught me that cutie marks revolve arround our talent not the other way arround."

"Yes but cutie marks tell what's your special talent for the future."

"No, cutie marks only show your special talent out of the sheet and I bet if being a gamer is on the sheet then you would already get one. Besides, you don't have to do what your cutie mark says."

"You're right. I don't have to know what my future will be based on a sticker on my butt!"

"Now you're getting-"

Button blushed. He hides behind Sweetie Belle. A filly named Lily who is playing with her joyboy passes by.

"You still haven't talk to her yet?"

"Come on, it could wait."

"Oh, Button."
