The battle to find their purpose and earn their cuties marks has led the Crusaders through some wild adventures. Just because they haven't succeeded yet doesn't mean they are admitting defeat.
In fact...its just the opposite.
During yet another meeting amongst themselves, they hit on an idea, one that could potentially threaten the entirety of Equestia, or at least Ponyville, with a massive epidemic of cuteness and...snuggles?
That was thoroughly adorable.
