Cutie Mark Magic Mystery

by Amethyst ImagineBlast

Chaos at the CMC headquaters

"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.

Really? That's what you're going with?

Edit: I didn't even notice that it was your user name as well.

[Amethyst ImagineBlast]

What do you mean 'that's what I am going with'?

[MythrilMoth]

6740762 The thing is, it's not really the best name you could choose for an OC. A lot of people around here will see that and be cruel about it. You should try using a name that fits the series a bit better.

[Amethyst ImagineBlast]

6742331 what i call my oc is my business. The show isn't doing well with names either. My oc is unique, which was my goal.

[MythrilMoth]

6742548 It's "unique" alright. Just not in a good way. Your OC is the kind of self-insert OC every first-time preteen writer comes up with when they think they have the best idea ever, and what they actually have is something embarrassing.

[Amethyst ImagineBlast]

6742588 firstly, i am neither a first time write or preteen. Believe, this isn't the first time people have complained about a name of my charaters. It may not be the best choice, i never said, nor claimed, it was. But believe me, you and few may not like it but others do. Pepole who dislike a story for a simple name they don't like is childish. Besides, its not her official name yet. I am setting polls to find a good name for her.if i dont find one i like her name stays as it is.

[MythrilMoth]

6742675 Translating all of the above: "If you don't praise everything I write, I don't care what you have to say."

That attitude doesn't really work here on FiMF the way it works on FF.net.

One last thing and then I'm done wasting breath on you:

Believe, this isn't the first time people have complained about a name of my charaters.

Maybe you should stop and reflect on this, and consider the possibility that there is a reason people complain. Then learn how to not do the thing people are complaining about.

That's how we learn and grow.

[Amethyst ImagineBlast]

6742818 er...i dont care if people praise my work. If you dont like my story because of what i called my chara ter dont read it. Simple as that.

[Fluttercheer]

This is an interesting concept, and very mysterious already. But you need to take more time while writing.
Right now, the story reads like you tried to type it up as fast as possible. A lot of scenes miss a proper build-up and there are many mistakes like missing words in the middle of a sentence.

Edit: I just read the other comments. Boy, the OC hate is going strong again. And I thought recently the fandom has gotten over this.
Just ignore that, really. Complaints on the basis of "I don't like that name you chose for your OC" are not constructive and the "self-insert" argument is just an important-sounding insult (like the rest of MythrilMoth's comments, just that it doesn't sound important).
I agree in so far that the name of your OC sounds a little weird. But in the end, it's your OC, not anyone else's, so, just ignore that.
And it's something you should get used to, by the way. There are good people here who give useful advice to improve your stories, but also lots of people who understand constructive criticism as "I'm telling the author what I want to have in the story and pretend it would improve his story so that I get it my way."
Here on FIMFiction.net, you sometimes really have to weed out the useful advice from the petty complaints and intrusive demands.
