Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are growing up. They've gotten their cutie marks, they know what their futures hold, and they're departing for greener pastures. But what of Scootaloo? She has yet to get her mark, and now she's alone, without much help to get it.

So...what happens to a pony that doesn't get her cutie mark?

Note: not comedy, not scootabuse, will contain Anon.

This story is a sequel to Hope Sinks

After a sick joke which involved reducing Scootaloo to tears, Anon is about to receive comeuppance for his actions. And, how!

Spitfire stops you during your walk to see Fluttershy one bright and beautiful morning. Though you can't tell what's going on, you can tell that she's not going to let you go until she gets something...but what? You quickly figure out, without a doubt, that nothing good can possibly come of this...

Why on earth or Equestria did you ever volunteer to fillysit Moonie? You're not too good around kids in the first place, and you've never dealt with baby ponies much at all. So, trying to take care of a tiny queen of the night is...well...a nightmare. But surely you can manage for one night if you really put your mind to it. It's just one little filly. How hard could it be?

Based on Moonie Shorts and characters created/expanded upon by Eighth.
Thanks for all the dawww over the years 8th-kun!

After an unexpected spa day with Rarity, Rainbow Dash looks just so cute you just can't stand it. No, really, she's adorable! It's downright hard not to do something about it. You know, like booping her on the nose. Nothing bad could possibly come of doing that, right?

Warning: Contains Anon, contains violence.

When a filly grows up and becomes a mare, the process and numerous body changes are bound to be difficult. It was certainly true for humans where you came from, and you certainly don't relish your own memories of "coming of age." As Sweetie Belle is going through that change now, you're definitely sympathetic, and happy to offer some words of comfort to her.

You know...if you could get a word in at all...

Why does being kind never work out well for you?

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."

Equestria receives its newest, and perhaps most honored guest. Pinkie is there to greet him as a new friend from the moment he opens his eyes. What will he think of this strange new world, where everything is so different?

The mane six really love Anon, but he just doesn't seem to get it. Join them in their journey as they each try to win him over.
U-Um... Anon is... Well... Oh my...
He's a really great guy. I wouldn't mind having him as my lab assistant for life.
Nonny's the best! I love spending my time with him!
Anonymous has this sort of "flair" he brings about whenever he comes near. It's extremely enticing.
Yeah, I mean, Anon's like my best friend. Would be pretty cool if he were more though...
Anon's amazin'. So much that I actually kinda get erm... Well it feels like I got the creepy crawlies in mah stomach.

But why won't he notice me?

Losing someone can be hard. But it can sometimes be even harder when you never really got to know that person in the first place.

No one would ever know that, deep inside, she's completely falling apart...
