When Fun Hugs, a young filly from Ponyville, gets her cutie mark, she is overjoyed. That is, until, she actually takes a look at it. Now, she's afraid of even going to school out of the fear that she will be endlessly bullied for having such an awful image on her flank.
Second thing I'm submitting to FiMFiction, no editors this time because I couldn't get ahold of anyone who wanted to do it. As a result, this probably sucks. Feel free to rip it to shreds! :)

Hooves, you mean.
5300329 Oops.
Ty. It's fixed now.
I feel this story is kinda empty, it dosen't explaine the reason the charecter is upset till the end, then just a brick wall...
Ouch. Poor kid.
this is just to cruel, poor filly...
This story would be good... but the end is kind of... mean for no reason? That's not really what I'm trying to say.
Okay, why does this pony have that for a cutie mark? I can't think of any special talent related directly to that, except perhaps foalsitting. The story doesn't really explain that though, and it comes across as giving the character a ridiculous cutie mark for no reason other than to make the story work.
Actually, I think this story would have been better if the mark was something not embarrassing, and the character was freaking out for no reason the whole time. But that's just my opinion.

No, feet is actually correct. Ponies have hooves, which are feet.
5300831 Maybe they're destined to work in a maternity ward or something?
Dang. That's sad. But in the future imagine her telling her children.
"Oh they laughed at me when I was young. But then once I proved them wrong and showed them what I was really meant for, they respected me."
So yep, your story was meh. Good job anyways.
The cutie marks are intelligent, intelligible images that appear by 'magic'. The two options that occur to me are either a) that there is some guiding intelligence behind the ambient magic, or b) that the magic is a purely impersonal force, and the actual shape of the mark is drawn from the mind of the pony at the moment of epiphany.
The ponies all seem solidly sold on option A. "It's got to be my destiny!" But personally, option B appeals to me more. It would explain the relatively plain and simple designs of most marks - after all, ponies receive their marks while young. It would explain why the marks are so often only tangentially related to their real meaning - Applejack's mark, for instance, represents her dedication to her home and family. It's just that, being an Apple, home and family meant "apples" to her. Rarity's mark was for an eye for beauty, more or less. It's just that at the time she associated "beauty" with "gaudy and sparkling jewelry".
So I assume that it is not possible for a pony to get a mark that they dislike at the moment they get it. They might change, or change their minds - even quite soon if they get laughed at for it - but at the moment of truth, it is their mental reflection of who they are and what they want to be.
This story clearly takes a different view: Fate is cruel. As are small children.
