Mac, Pear and Spike were walking towards the farm's main gate, where there stood all of the girls, all of their parents, minus the Pies, and oddly enough a young lavender stallion who was giving Rarity a box. The trio walked over to the large gathering of family members, as the stallion ran off. "Um, wasn't that Shimmering Gem?" Asked Pear.

Rarity nodded. "Yep, he just delivered our order." Said Rarity as she smiled, she looked at Spike who for the first time was actually looking at his surroundings, Rarity giggled. "Spikey Wikey, did you have a good time with Grandpa and Grandma?"

Spike looked at his mama and nodded his head. "Yeah, I met nice ponies, had yummy cupcake that look like mama, I play with crayons too." Said Spike as he poked Pear. "Grandma, can I have picture?" Asked Spike.

Pear nodded as she showed the girls the picture Spike did. "He did this while me and Mac were talking to the Cakes."

All the girls looked at the picture, each of the outlined ponies were colored to look like the girls, but then they noticed that each of them had a cutie mark on their flanks, that was weird because they didn't have their cutie marks before they found Spike. "Spike, why did you add these to us?" Asked Fluttershy. 

Spike looked at Fluttershy. "Because mama have this." Said Spike as he pointed to her flank. "See." 

Fluttershy looked at her flank, and low and behold, right there on her flanks were a trio of butterflies. "Oh my Celestia, I got my cutie mark and I didn't even notice." She looked at the others in the picture and noticed that all of them had a cutie mark. She looked to the girls. "Girls, I think we all got our cutie marks." Said Fluttershy.

All of the girls looked at their flanks, and each of them had gotten their cutie marks. AJ now had a trio of red apples, Rainbow was now sporting a cloud with a lightning bolt made up of red, yellow and blue, Rarity was adorned in a trio of light blue diamonds, and Pinkie was now decorated with a trio of balloons with two being blue and the last being yellow. All of the girls gasped as they looked at their flanks. 

All of the adults were surprised. "Wait you girls didn't know about them?" Asked Cookie, all the girls shook their heads. "Seriously, I can't speak for Rainbow, Fluttershy or AJ, but I saw Pinkie get hers during the party at the farm, and I'm pretty sure Rarity didn't have her mark this morning, but she did when she was giving Spike his bath." She looked at the other parents. "What about you guys, didn't our girls not have cutie marks before Spike showed up?" 

Windy and Bow nodded. "Yep, when we dropped her off at junior flight camp, she was a blank flank, but when we found her with Spike she had her mark, the only reason we didn't say anything was to surprise her with a large trophy that we needed to get made."

Zephyr shrugged. "I didn't notice, I was lost in her magenta eyes." 

"Well, Fluttershy was the same, she was a blank flank when we dropped her off at flight camp, and when we saw her again she had her mark." Said Gentle. 

All of the adults looked at Pear and Mac, who shrugged. "Don't look at us, she was gone for about 2 weeks in Manehattan visiting family." Mac then looked at AJ. "But you did have your mark when I found you and the girls with Spike's basket."

All the girls looked at Spike, so far he was the only connection between them getting their marks and this moment. All of the girls hugged Spike. "You really are something else kiddo, thanks to you we some how ignored the fact that we found our calling in life." Said Rainbow, she laughed. "I mean, I always knew I wanted to be a Wonder Bolt and somewhere in between that awesome sonic rainboom I did during the race and finding you, I got the coolest cutie mark ever." Said Rainbow, then she thought back as she connected the dots, she gasped. "I got my mark during the race, right as I was hitting the sound barrier." She looked at Spike. "And thanks to that, we found you."

AJ gasped as she connected her dots. "I must of got mine when I got back to the farm with Spike on my back." She looked at Spike. "Spike, I knew I wasn't happy with those pompous ponies in the big city, so I knew I wanted to be with my family back home, I guess since we became your mothers it was like I knew I wanted to always be an Apple, but all I needed was to find the newest little Apple in the forest." Laughed AJ. 

Pinkie remained silent.... for about 2 seconds. "I kinda guessed I would get my mark at the party." Said Pinkie as she kicked away the finished script of the My Little Pony episode 'Cutie Mark Chronicles' out of shot.

Fluttershy smiled. "I knew I wanted to meet so many creatures here on the ground, I just didn't expect to find the greatest little dragon in the world while I was at it, but I wouldn't change anything." 

Rarity smiled as she already knew when she got her mark, she laughed. "Well its thanks to Spike that I got my Cutie Mark." She pulled the box over to her and opened it. One by one she pulled out each of the girls necklaces and draped them over their heads so they would rest on their hearts. "The moment I saw the gem he gave me, I knew that designing was going to be my calling in life."

Spike looked at the necklaces, he smiled as he hugged his mama's. "You made necklaces." 

All the girls smiled. "We did, but we also got you something." Said Rarity as she pulled out Spikes necklace, she placed it around Spikes neck. "Spikey Wicky, remember how you wanted us to keep your gifts close to our hearts?" Asked Rarity, Spike nodded. "Well, we decided to get something for you so we can be close to your heart as well." 

Spike looked at his necklace as he started to cry. He hugged his mamas even more as he smiled at the gift. "I want to keep mamas close to me."

All the girls smiled as they just kept hugging Spike. Everyone was crying at the family's love for each other. But the sun was setting, they needed to get to the house before dark. "Ok girls, its getting dark, lets head into the house for dinner." Said Pear.

All the girls nodded as Rarity placed Spike on her back. She looked at Spike. "Spikey Wikey, are you ready to go home?" Asked Rarity. Spike nodded. 



 

5 minutes later, the whole family arrived at the house. Pear walked into the house to get Granny, Macintosh and Applebloom. "Ma, guess what, Spikes officially part of the family." Smiled Pear. 

"And that's when I high dived into a small pool from over 50 feet in the air." Said Granny as she laughed. 

Celestia looked at the mare as she giggled at the stories. "You are one unique mare Granny Smith." Celestia looked to the door and noticed the mare standing there shocked to see the princess. Celestia smiled. "Oh, you must be Buttercup, greetings." 

Buttercup was still shocked and unmoving. "....."

Celestia looked at Granny. "Is she ok?"

Granny sighed as she walked to the kitchen and got the smelling salts. She waved it under Pears nose, snapping the mare out of her shock. Pear looked at Celestia. "Can you give me a moment?"

Celestia smiled. "Of course, take your time." Said Celestia. 'Good, if she's here that means Spike is out side right now.' Thought Celestia, but then she remembered what the mare said. 'Wait did she just say, Spike is officially part of the family?' 

Pear smiled as she walked out of the house. She looked at everyone. "Um, Princess Celestia is inside right now." Said Pear. 

"WHAT!?" Yelled Everyone.
