	Applebloom sighed. "I can't believe I ain't got it yet!" she complained to her two best friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. "It's so unfair! You have your mark Scootaloo!" Scootaloo looked down proudly at her cutie mark, a purple scooter with orange wings.
"Ya....." she sighed, remembering when she got her mark.
It happened at the skating finals. Due to her awesome moves on her scooter, she had made it to the finals of the Young Wheels Contest. It wasn't exactly the 'Young Fliers Competition' like Rainbow Dash had been in years ago, but it was close enough. "Now, we would like to welcome Scootaloo to the stage. She is a young mare, 12 years old, who has a striking purple mane......"
"It's magenta," Scootaloo mumbled to herself. She suddenly heard her music begin. "I better go!" she thought. Scootaloo quickly started up the ramp, her small wings flapping as hard as they could flap. Although she would never be able to fly with them, they provided a great boost on her scooter. Scootaloo flew off the ramp and into the air. She flapped her wings harder and harder, until she shot forward with great speed. 
Scootaloo had never gone this fast in her life! She looked behind her, expecting to see a magenta streak, but there was none. "Oh well," she sighed, "I guess I can't be EXACTLY like Rainbow Dash." She did a flip in the air and landed back on the ramp. The crowd cheered. Scootaloo stood tall with pride. "SCOOTALOO, SCOOTALOO!" The crowd cheered. Scootaloo looked up to see Rainbow Dash, sitting in the stands with a huge grin on her face. She pointed at Scootaloo's flank. Scootaloo looked at it in confusion, and there it was, her cutie mark.
"You can stop day dreaming now Scoots!" Sweetie Belle laughed. "That WAS an awesome day! You made Rainbow so proud!"
"Ya!" Scootaloo replied.
"Humph, that still doesn't get me closer to earning my mark! I've tried everything I enjoy! Bucking apples, construction, singing, but nothing works!" Applebloom humphed. 
"Are you SURE you like doing those things?" Sweetie asked. "I mean, I got my mark doing what I love."
"Ugh, not another story," Applebloom mumbled to herself as Sweetie launched into her cutie mark story.
