An Afterthought

So the three friends, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo decided to go zip-lining that afternoon above the forest. "Spike said this is awesome!" Scootaloo said. The result: not successful. After the three friends got covered in tree sap and pine needles, and cleaned most of it off, of course, they had made a decision.

Well, mostly Scootaloo. Scootaloo's decision is to talk to Rainbow Dash and ask her how she ended up getting her cutie mark. What happened was that they ended up running into Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie and listened to their stories on how they got their cutie marks.

Finally, they've listened to Rainbow Dash's story on how she earned her cutie mark. The result is a surprise for the six friends. After hearing the stories, Apple Bloom was thinking about the friendship of the six ponies.

"I know that none of us has cutie marks," she thought to herself, "But what else do we have in common? Sisters? No, Scootaloo doesn't have a sister. Maybe I'll figure it out soon."

Apple Bloom watched as she friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo went back to their homes.

"Maybe a good night will help me out," Apple Bloom decided at last. "I'll tell them how I got my cutie mark tomorrow," Pinkie Pie said. And so, when Apple Bloom got back home, she went to sleep.

The next morning, Apple Bloom met up with her friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo once again. It was a cloudy morning that day. "Morning Apple Bloom!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo said together. "Morning," Apple Bloom replied.

"Thinking about Rainbow Dash's stories yesterday?" Scootaloo asked. "And her friend's stories," Sweetie Belle asked." "Yes," Apple Bloom answered.

"We've all been thinking about that," Scootaloo added, "And we can imagine if that Sonic Rainboom never happened, they wouldn't have earned their cutie marks, especially Rainbow Dash." "Yes," Sweetie Belle agreed, "What a coincidence." "That's true," said Apple Bloom, "So what do we want to do now? As the Cutie Mark Crusaders?"

"Well," Scootaloo replied, "We should think about on how we are going to get our cutie marks. Rainbow Dash's friends have each done something different to get theirs." "So maybe, we should do the same," Sweetie Belle added. "Right," said Apple Bloom, "I'm sure we'll come up with something."

"Right!" said Scootaloo, "And we've came up with a lot of ideas." "Together," said Apple Bloom, "In fact, not having a cutie mark is what brought us together in the first place." "That's true," Sweetie Belle said, "And not to mention the two bragging fillies."

"Oh, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoons," Apple Bloom replied, "Those two." "Never mind the," said Scootaloo, "What matters is what we do now." "Yes," said Apple Bloom, "Together, we can do anything!" "Right!" said Sweetie Belle. "Now let's do some more planning!" all three fillies said out loud.

"Shh!" one pony exclaimed from a nearby house, "We've got ponies sleeping in here!" "Ok," whispered Scootaloo, "Let's start in our clubhouse." "Right," Apple Bloom agreed.

"Now I'll tell you my story on how I got my cutie mark!" Pinkie Pie said out loud after she jumped right out of nowhere. "Oh well," said Apple Bloom.
