It's inevitable that the Cutie Mark Crusaders will eventually succeed in their goal to get pictures on their flanks. What isn't set in stone, however, is the timing. Who will get their mark first? What effect will it leave on those left behind?
The last question is especially difficult on Apple Bloom's conscious. How can she support her friends when she sees visions of fate pulling them apart?
Perhaps the wanderer of dreams can shed some light on the matter.
