Based on Crusaders of the Lost Mark

With all that glowy-magic stuff going on, one might have thought that the Cutie Mark Crusaders were going to become alicorns.

Well they did – without even getting their cutie marks.

Warning: Quick and spoiler-laden reaction piece to Crusaders of the Lost Mark and Brotherhooves Social.

Apple Bloom realizes that she's missed something important in the midst of the Cutie Mark Crusaders' cute-ceañera. And with all that's changed in recent weeks, she finds herself needing 'Twilight Time' now more than ever.

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, in another crusade gone awry, find themselves brought to a world very much like their own.

Except that here, Cutie Marks are considered evil and an organization known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, composed entirely of blank flanks, fight to end the tyranny of the marked.

Adding to the fillies confusion and culture shock, their counterparts in this backwards world are heralded as some of the best the organization has to offer and are expected to battle alongside their fellow blank flanks.

Making things worse are the enemies they're supposed to face. What the other operatives call villains, a large chunk of them they call friends.

The three fillies must now find a way to return home and keep their sanity intact as all they have believed in is put to the most bizarre and backwards test of their young lives.

After Scootaloo was able to get some frustration off her chest, Cheerilee thinks there is something more going on. While trying to offer advice about Scootaloo's current problem, she finds that Scootaloo's life isn't as happy as she probably thought.

One fine morning, Lavender wakes up with hiccups. How will she cope with them?

This is a short side-story to As Sweet As Lavender.

The Doctor, the last of the Time Lords has regenerated into his 11th incarnation. Arriving in Equestria, he meets the young filly Apple Bloom. The Doctor takes the young filly who, after the Doctor returns 15 years later, has grown up into a young adult pony on a journey throughout Time and Space. With Apple Bloom as the Doctor's newest companion, the two fight various aliens, save planets, and meet new and familiar faces......

After the 'Cutie Pox' incident, Applebloom's talent problems - including the French-speaking fleur-de-lys Cutie Mark - seemed to be solved, happy as ever to be blank. That is, until that fateful flower re-emerges on her flank one night, and the Apple filly slowly dissolves from a laid-back country girl into a flat-out, refined Frenchie, going as far as to be incapable of speaking English, and only the language of love. Join us in her wacky tale of discovering the pros and cons of French culture.

They say you can’t miss what you’ve never had. And Scootaloo would be inclined to agree with them. Except, she did have all a little filly would want from a home, and she does miss what she lost. Not that anypony would help her get it back.

Would they?

Apple Bloom is trying to get home quickly, but it is easier said than done.

All she can do is run and try to avoid any distractions, however nothing seems simple today.

Goku is considered the greatest martial artist in history and legend. Apple Bloom has a special talent in martial arts as well, but not being the best bugs her. So what better way to become the best, by learning from the best? It will not be an easy road for the young filly.
