//------------------------------// // Chaos at the CMC headquaters // Story: Cutie Mark Magic Mystery // by Amethyst ImagineBlast //------------------------------// "This way Amethyst!" Applebloom called, I nodded and hurried up to them. We stood at the base of a tree, in which a tree house stood. "Nice." I smiled "We had to re do it ourselves. This is the CMC Headquaters. Fillies and colts come here if they want help to understand or find their cutie marks." Sweetie belle explained. "Is that why your cutie marks are all the same?" I asked "Yes, its our destiny. What's yours?" Scootaloo looked at my mark. "I don't know. I gained it by telling a bully what I believed about cutie marks. I said I would rather go without a cutie mark my whole life if it meant I would be like a pony like her." I said "Wow, that is pretty cool." Sweetie belle smiled "I guess, but what is the point of a cutie mark if you don't understand it?" I sighed. "I would rather had one that was easy to understand." "Whoa." The CMC gasped. "What?" I looked at them. "Your cutie mark just darkened." Apple bloom pointed. I looked down, they were right. "Maybe it is meant to show how I feel about my destiny..." I suggested. I smiled, and closed my eyes. "I will do my best to find my true destiny." I looked down and it was normal. I giggled. "That is so cool! I can't give up hope, I will solve the mystery of my cutie mark!" "We'll help!" The CMC smiled, I nodded. "We should keep a note about how your cutie mark reacts to your emotions." Sweetie bell said "Great Idea. Come on!" We all raced into the tree house. A while later, Sweetie belle pinned up a chart to the wall for my cutie mark. "So, when you discourage your own cutie mark it darkens." Sweetie belle wrote "And returns to normal when you encourage your cutie mark." "But why?" I asked, the CMC shrugged. "Wait our sisters cutie marks darkened when Discord made them act against their true selves. " Apple Bloom said. "So, why you against your true self, your cutie mark reacts like that." Sweetie belle wrote. "Um...Who's Discord?" I asked "You don't know Discord?" The CMC gasped, I shook my head. "Well, he is the lord of Chaos, he is best friends with Fluttershy." Scootaloo said "He is creature of all sorts of parts." "Wow, I hope I meet him!" I smiled. the CMC smiled. "So, you're Amethyst?" A voice asked, I turned, and saw a strange creature, I jumped back in surprised. "Discord, you scared her." Apple Bloom said. "Did I? Well, I am sorry." discord said. "You're Discord? Nice to meet you." I smiled, Discord created a top hat and bowed. "pleasure is mine." He said, I giggled. "Hey Discord, do you think you can help us?" Sweetibelle asked. "What with?" Discord looked surprised. "My cutie darkens when I am discouraged with my cutie mark, apparently it was like when you made their sisters go against their true selves." I said "I am not sure I will be of help. I don't know about cutie marks. I don't have on." Discord said "but, think of cutie mark history." With that he vanished. "cutie mark history?" Sweetie belle asked "Well, he is old. Maybe he knows of somepony who had a similar cutie mark." Apple bloom suggested. "I read a book once, about how the crystal heart shows you your heart..." I said, I looked down at my cutie mark. "And mine seems to react to my feelings, maybe we could ask the heart?" "We could ask Princess Candence." Scootaloo smiled "Applebloom, do you and your friends want some lunch?" A voice called, Apple bloom rushed to the window. "We'll be right down!" She smiled. "come on girls." We went down, Applebloom's big sister had set out some lunch on a picnic table. "Here ya go." She smiled, she looked at me. "Nice to meet ya Amethyst. I am AppleJack." "Nice to meet you AppleJack." I smiled, as we sat around the table. "She's the element of Honesty!" AppleBloom said "Element of Honesty?" I repeated. "From the elements of Harmony." AppleJack said. "Oh, yes, I heard about them." I nodded. "Well, I'll leave you girls, have fun now." Apple jack walked off. "Your big sister is nice." I said "Yep." Apple Bloom nodded. "She's been working on this farm since she got her cutie mark, that was after she left, believing her destiny was in Manehatten." "Wow, i wonder where my cutie mark will take me!" I smiled "Well, it brought you here." Sweetie belle told me. "Yes, only because my family thought it was too weird." I sighed "But, everypony aside from them love it. It shows I am different...I guess I have always been different from everypony else." "In what way?" Scootaloo asked, we all took a sandwich. "Well, I never wanted to grow up, everytime I tried to fly I felt something. I am not sure what, but almost like I wasn't meant to fly yet." I explained. "that and unlike everypony else, I wasn't too bothered in finding my cutie mark. " I took a big bite. "Wow, there are several ponies in school who don't have cutie marks, but they have spoken to us to help them find them." Applebloom said "What's your school Like? I am going to ask Fluttershy if she'll let me go!" I smiled "Great, we can introduce to the class. and you'll like miss Cheerlie. She is the kindest Teacher in ponyville." Sweetie belle said. "I can't wait." I cheered, we all laughed and finished our lunch. That night, Fluttershy was tucking me into bed. "Fluttershy, do you think I could join the ponyville school?" I asked "Of course, We'll go tomorrow and speak to Cheerlie." Fluttershy smiled "Thank you, cousin." I said and closed my eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
