Zipp has something that she needs to tell Sunny. She's a pretty open minded pony. She'd probably be cool with it. Right?

Vinyl Scratch had been mute all her life. She's long since accepted that. It doesn't get in her way as much as one might think.

But, when it comes to telling Octavia how she feels, there could be no greater obstacle.

What do you do, after you've made the impossible, possible?

With the Wonderbolt tryouts looming just around the corner and rumors of Spitfire being able to perform the Sonic Rainboom at will, Dash is at wits end. She needs something greater, awesomer, more epic than just a mere Rainboom. After all, to perform that trick a second time would label her a one trick pony and if Spitfire could pull it off, then what was the point?

So what trick could possibly be greater than a Sonic Rainboom?

Scootaloo has lived her life out in Ponyville, getting her cutie mark and being the town Mailmare, seemingly stuck in a rut for years. Sweetie Bell has been gone for nearly a year now, becoming a popular singer for "The Bells." One day Scootaloo gets a letter from her old friend saying that she's coming home for a visit...

Written from the perspective of Scootaloo somewhere around ten years in the future, this is my entry for the ScootaBelle contest: We got Our Cutie Marks!... Now What?

Edit: It won the contest!
