Apple Bloom again woke up two hours earlier go get as much practice in as possible for the talent show happening at 6:00 PM tonight.
After practice she took a shower to clean up after sweating a bunch, she ate the breakfast Applejack had made her and then waited in the clubhouse for the other crusaders to show up.
When they showed up they crusaded for the whole day until 5:00 PM, when they all headed home to get ready for the talent show in just one hour.
Apple Bloom ran up to her room and put the outfit back in to the box and started walking towards the school with Applejack, Granny Smith, and Big Mac.
When they got to the school they met up with Rarity and Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, and Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight were at the school to see the show as well.
"It's the big night AB! Are you ready?" Scootaloo said looking very excited.
Apple Bloom looked at Scootaloo and smiled, "Ah was born ready Scoots, ah have been waiting for this day for so long!"
Sweetie Belle looked at the box on Apple Bloom's back, "What is in the box Apple Bloom?"
She looked back at it and said, "It's mah outfit fer tonight."
Sweetie Belle got a little too excited when Apple Bloom said this.
'Ah swear she can be a mini Rarity sometimes.' Apple Bloom thought in her head and laughed, as they walked into the school.
As all the audience members took their seats, all the participating school children went back stage to prepare.
First pony going on stage was Button Mash, he said for his act he was going to beat the world record for beating Super Mario Bros. Any%, the world record was 4:55.646, Button Mash was going to try and get it to 4:55.645 or lower.
He started up the game, everyone cheering every time he did something only experts can do, here he was running up on Bowser for the final jump.
He jumped right over Bowser, and dunking him into the lava by hitting the axe, he finished with a time of 4:55.641, he had done it, it may have been only five frames but he now owned the record, everypony cheered and clapped, he left the stage with a salute and let the next pony on.
Next on the stage was Diamond Tiara, she was doing a singing act, she set her microphone up and started singing Sweet Caroline.
"Hoofs, touching hoofs, reaching out, touching me, touching you, Sweet Caroline!" Diamond Tiara sang.
When she finished she got all kinds of cheers, compliments, and congratulations, she left the stage with a smirk, 'Bet those blank flanks can't beat that.' She thought as she left.
After Diamond Tiara went back stage, Sweetie Belle was up next.
Rarity clapped very loud when she saw her sister, "You go girl!" She shouted.
She threw five red balls in the air, and caught them all with her magic, she started throwing up and the air again, but this time one by one, she started juggling at a slow pace, then it got faster, and faster, so fast to the point where she was sweating.
She dropped all the balls and put them on the table, everyone clapped, especially Rarity.
After Sweetie Belle left, Scootaloo came on stage, Rainbow Dash gave Scootaloo a huge smile and shouted, "You can do this kid!"
Scootaloo grinned, she set up her ramps and a hoop, she went to the end of the stage and started pushing, she went over the ramp did a 360° through the hoop, and landed safely on the other side, everypony clapped.
Once she was on the other side she started pushing again, she went over the ramp and did a backflip through the hoop, landing it.
She jumped off her scooter and went to the front of the stage and took a bow, the room was filled with clapping and cheering, Rainbow Dash flew over and gave Scootaloo a high hoof.
There was around six or seven more acts when it was finally Apple Bloom's turn, everypony gasped when they saw what she was wearing.
She was wearing a black fedora with a gray line, a very shine black sequin jacket with a white leg band and a white v neck shirt, a incredibly shiny white glove, black pants with two white sequin lines going down them, and on top off all that her mane was dyed black, and was styled with strands of it in front of her face.
They were all shocked, Applejack looked very excited, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were mostly looking at the dyed mane, and then the song started, she got into position with the hat over her eyes.
"She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene, I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round." Michael Jackson sang on the speakers.
Apple Bloom kicked and spon to the song.
"Billie Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl, who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son."
Every single pony in the room roared with cheering and clapping.
After about two minutes the song got to the best part.
"....HEE....HOO...."
Apple Bloom started to do the moonwalk, the room got very loud when she did it.
After the moonwalk she did a 720° spin and landed on the tips of her hoofs, and then there was an explosion of light, when the light finally cleared they all gasped when they looked at her flank.
"What?" Apple Bloom asked.
She looked at her flank and gapsed as well, on her flank was a cutie mark, it was a shiny golden fedora with wings.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo went up on stage and gave a Apple Bloom a huge hug.
"You got your cutie mark by dancing to Michael Jackson AB!" Scootaloo shouted.
"We are so proud of you Apple Bloom!" Sweetie Belle said.
With that they left the stage, and went to their sisters, Applejack went up to Apple Bloom and gave her a soft shoulder punch.
"Why didn't ya tell me ya like Michael Jackson? Ah own every record of his! They are all in the attic." She smiled at Appls Bloom.
"Really?! That's so cool." Apple Bloom shouted
Applejack looked at her sisters mane, "That black dye comes out right?"
"Yep! It does." Apple Bloom replied laughing.
Applejack gave a sign of relief.
And then they went home to enjoy all the records of Michael Jackson they had.
