I can't believe I finally got my cutie mark!" Apple Bloom practically bounced off the walls. "Yeah, it sure is somethin'," confirmed Applejack. She smiled at her younger sister's happiness. "Now Apple Bloom, y'all had fun at yer cute-ceaƱera, but it's time ya got cleaned up. You need to go take yer bath." "But Applejack - ," whined Apple Bloom. "No buts, you need to go take yer bath." "Alright," said Apple Bloom. She slowly headed upstairs and a moment later came the sound of running water from the bathroom. Knock!!!Knock!!!Knock!!!Knock!!!Knock!!!Kno- Applejack opened the front door. "Sweetie Belle! Scoot-" "Is Apple Bloom here!?" "Has she taken a bath!?" "What happened to your cutie-" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! came a scream from upstairs. The three raced up the stairs and to the bathroom. Apple Bloom stood dripping, her mouth wide with horror. Looking at her sister's blank flank, then to the blank flanks of the other members of the CMC, Applejack asked, "What in tarnation?" Sweetie Belle explained, "They wash off." "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" screamed Apple Bloom. TV Static
