// Cutie Marks 
// Story: Forever Lasting Bonds

//------------------------------//

Cheerilee was teaching her class as Applebloom expressed boredom, wanting something fun to happen before it was too late. She was never very fond of whenever Cheerilee, or any of her teachers, went into 'boring lecture about useless garbage we'll probably never use in the future' mode. Though, the mention of one thing did catch her attention. "Anyway, now on to Cutie Marks." Applebloom perked up with Cheerliee continuing her lecture. "Some of you may think Cutie Marks define your future. But in reality, they show what you're talented in, and something you could find yourself enjoying."

Applebloom was actually enjoying the lecture for once as Cheerilee went into more detail on it. "The thought of Cutie Marks defining your future isn't completely irrelevant, but it's not one hundred percent accurate. You could be talented in sewing but have a career in cooking. The only difference is that you'd have to practice a lot in the cooking, where as your talent in sewing is natural. Think of it as...you being a prodigy in something, but you're still normal like everyone else. We all have our skills we excel in after all."

Applebloom was still listening to the lecture Diamond Tiara, who sat by her left, coughed and held a note over to her as Applebloom whispered to her. "What? I'm actually interested in class for once." Diamond Tiara waved the note around, leaving Applebloom annoyed before she took it. "Fine."

Applebloom accepted the note and then heard Cheerilee's voice from the front of the class right as she did. "Applebloom." Applebloom set the note down with Cheerilee walking up to her desk. "Are you passing notes again?"

"Pssh, yeah. Because be taking the note out of someone else's mouth indicates that I'M the one who wrote it." Applebloom deadpanned, with Cheerilee not appreciating the sarcasm. "Brilliant deduction Ms. Cheerilee; you really earned your GED or your degree in boring your students or whatever it takes to become a teacher."

"And I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't be sarcastic when speaking to me." Cheerilee requested, and then Applebloom scoffed.

"Fine. I'll put it in stupid pony terms for you." Applebloom then pretended to be stupid, which made some of the other kids laugh. "Duh! I'm stupid, duh! I can't speak properly, duh!" Applebloom was unfazed by Cheerilee's stern look as she opened up the letter and was surprised by the fact that it was empty, and then gave a deadpan look to her teacher. "And even if I WAS passing this note, I'm pretty sure that unlike Diamond Tiara, I wouldn't lack the mental capacity to bother writing something in said note before passing it to someone."

Diamond Tiara was shocked by Applebloom's roast with the students who were laughing earlier laughing even harder. This led to Diamond Tiara growling at Applebloom, who gave her a smug grin as she ignored Cheerilee's lecture.





All kinds of moments from season one were shown as Twilight was heard  singing the main theme of the show, My Little Pony Friends. "For  every day, I look around me, for every time I see you near. I thank the  stars, whose light surrounds me, I thank the earth that keeps you here.  Cause I will only follow, my true heart. And I can see it clear now,  right from the start. You were my little pony. I used to wonder what  friendship could be; my little pony. Until you shared it's magic with  me. My little pony. I used to wonder what friendship could be. My little  pony. Until you shared it's magic, with me.





Spike and Applebloom were talking outside of the school as they talked about the punishment Applebloom got. "Three days of detention for backsass. The things teachers will do to make themselves seem dominant."

Applebloom was currently texting Applejack with her phone, which was shown to have a hoof pad on the back so it'd stick to her hoof. As she sent the text regarding her punishment, she complained about what happened. "And obviously I'm just gonna lie to Applejack and say I don't have to go. How was I supposed to know refusing to suck up to the school bully was illegal?"

"Applebloom!" Spike and Applebloom looked to see Diamond Tiara and her best friend/sidekick/slave Silver Spoon walking up to her with anger in their eyes. "You're lucky I didn't sock you in front of the teacher for roasting me like that! Spike might've gotten away with farting fire on me, but I will NOT let a blank flank like you get away with what you pulled today!"

Applebloom punched Diamond Tiara in the face, walking off as she put her phone in her backpack and said goodbye to Spike. "I'm gonna go do whatever now. Later Spike. Later try-hard tough girls."

Silver Spoon helped Diamond Tiara up with Spike commenting on her behavior as the bell rang. "Maybe you should consider going to an anti-ditch class." Spike walked off with Diamond Tiara being appalled, shouting out profanity as Spike called Twilight. "Hey Twilight, you'll never guess what happened today."

Applebloom was walking into town as she noticed a white furred unicorn with a light blue and white mane trying to balance on a unicycle. This made Applebloom giggle as she walked up to her and started a conversation. "Hey, you're Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle, right? That weirdo who's always doing weird things? Scootaloo but without the danger? (Looks at the audience) Don't worry, we'll show it eventually."

"Yeah, you could say that." Sweetie Belle fell off the unicycle with Applebloom helping her up after she fell flat on her face. "Thanks. And if you're wondering why I do all of those weird things, I'm trying to figure out what my talent is so I can have a cutie mark. (Gasps lightly) Maybe my talent is skydiving!"

Applebloom was baffled at what Sweetie Bell was doing, being indifferent to her quest to find her talent. "Well good luck with that weirdo. (Walks off) Maybe there's a talent for being weird and you haven't discovered it yet." Sweetie Belle got to thinking about that as Applebloom then started to wonder about Sweetie Belle's method, finding that it could have some potential now that she gave it deeper thought.





Applebloom was on the farm as she talked to Applejack about what happened in school today, since Applejack found out about her assigned detention. Applebloom was doing her best not to groan in annoyance as Applejack scolded her for what happened. "And then you go out of your way and lie to me about getting detention? For Celestia's sake Applebloom, you're not gonna get anywhere if you keep acting like this."

"Well I didn't know it was illegal to make people laugh." Applebloom replied sarcastically, finding her reason for getting detention to be stupid. "All I did wrong was explain to Cheerilee that she needed to lighten up and that me grabbing a note from someone else couldn't possibly mean I'm the one who passed it."

"And you skipped detention." Applejack reminded Applebloom, who rolled her eyes as Applejack spoke up about her punishment. "And you can help me with my chores on the farm until dinner."

Applebloom instantly found a loophole to the scenario, leaning down by a tree and pulling out her phone and headphones as Applejack started smashing the apples in a bucket, giving a smug grin as she spoke up. "If I were you, I wouldn't have made ignoring your request an option."

Applejack sighed with annoyance as Applebloom was looking for a good song to listen to, taking her younger sister's headphones off as she asked her something. "Don't you wanna find out what you'll do with your life?"

"Everyone does." Applebloom answered, and then she brought up the encounter she made earlier today. "Now that you mention it though, that weirdo Sweetie Belle was trying to see if unicycling was her talent. Tch, as if a unicorn could master it without cheating. Yeah, she's always doing weird stuff to get her cutie mark."

Applejack felt that scolding Applebloom from this point onward wouldn't work, so she decided to try encouraging her to try new things as she smiled and sat down in front of her. "Maybe you could try that yourself. It couldn't hurt to find something else you really like."

Applebloom thought for a moment and tried to think of a good start, thinking about the cutie marks of her family as she then looked at Applejack's. "Apple pie for Granny Smith, Apple half for Big Mac, three apples for you..." Applejack liked where this was going as Applebloom gave her what looked like a positive vibing expression. "You're selling apples in town later, right? Consider your pathetic attempt at authority accepted."

Applejack was a little put off by how Applebloom worded that, but was glad that she was on board. "I don't like the way you worded that, (Smiles) but I'm glad to have some help in my sales. We've been really slow lately." Applebloom gave Applejack a hoof bump, feeling that this could be an interesting experience.





Applejack and Applebloom were in town as Applebloom was starting to get bored due to the lack of sales as Applejack occasionally called out to the ponies in town to find anyone who might want some. She yawned a bit before complaining to Applejack about how low sales were. "I can see what you meant by us being slow lately. The only person who bought any apples so far was some green unicorn."

Applejack sighed, knowing she couldn't argue with Applebloom in that regard. "Yeah, it can get pretty boring doing this. But it's worth it if it's to help Sweet Apple Acres."

"Well we've only had one sale so far, so I doubt we're gonna make much progress today." Applebloom saw a male, orange earth pony who was looking around all confused, getting an idea as she walked over to him to get his attention. "Unless..." Applejack observed what Applebloom was doing as she then spoke up to the earth pony. "Ya lose someone bub?"

The earth pony looked at Applebloom, seeing her sly grin and hoping she could help. "I'm just looking for my girlfriend. She said she'd meet me in town but I can't find her."

"Maybe an apple can help you calm down and actually look for her." Applebloom stated bluntly, bringing the earth pony over to the apple stand as she gave him an apple and he gave her a bit after seeing the one bit sign. "These things make doctors buck off for a reason."

The earth pony walked off with gratitude as Applejack called out Applebloom's foul language, but praised her sale's ability. "Language Applebloom. (Gives a sly grin) But that was impressive."

Applebloom grinned as she then walked over to another male, white unicorn who's mouth was open from yawning and slingshot it into his mouth, forcing him to swallow it as she then dashed up to him and pulled him down to her level. "No free eats buddy. Pay up."

The unicorn paid up with one bit as Applejack looked around, surprised that no one was staying wary of them. She was about to scold Applebloom for her treachery before seeing her do something else. "Applebloom! You can't just-"

Applebloom shushed Applejack as she finished dumping an entire barrel of apples into a female, yellow earth pony's bag, which she noticed as soon as Applebloom held her hoof out. "Forty apples means forty bits!"

The earth pony wasn't very happy with that one, sternly looking at Applebloom as she spoke up. "I didn't put those in my bag!"

"So pay up anyway." Applebloom suggested, and the earth pony raised her eyebrow as she continued. "See, my grandma's hip is busted and could really-"

Applejack pulled Applebloom to the side and helped the earth pony put her apples back as she apologized. "Sorry about my sister. She can be pretty...cunning."

"Believe me, I've heard of her. (Walks off) I hope she learns to behave."

Applejack turned to Applebloom, who gave a deadpan look as the two of them went back to the apple stand. "Force-selling people to buy our products is not the way to do things. Not with us anyway."

Applejack took Applebloom's apron off as Applebloom questioned Applejack's way of business. "Well how else are you supposed to do it? No one's buying them fairly right now, so extortion just sounds like the go-to option right now."

"Who do you think we are, Filthy Rich?" Applejack asked, and Applebloom shrugged as the former then tried to help her in her Cutie Mark quest. "I don't think this is for you Applebloom. Maybe something else will be your prized talent."

Applebloom thought for a moment and felt that selling apples was kinda boring anyway. "As long as it's more fun than this, I guess I can live with that." Applebloom walked off with Applejack setting her apron down before Applebloom dashed back up to it and grabbed it. "I'm taking this though. It looks cool." Applebloom dashed off with Applejack sighing as she tried to get some more sales with her apples. She also hoped that Applebloom's attempts at getting bits off of people wouldn't ruin her sales. "Come and get some juicy Apples! Fresh apples from Sweet Apple Acres."





Applebloom was trying to think of what else she could do, not really having many ideas for her second attempt. She didn't have too many hobbies outside of making potions with Zecora and getting lost in her phone, so she didn't feel she had a lot of options to work with. She then started to hear music nearby and ran over to where it was coming from, finding Sweetie Belle jumping onto a trampoline while playing the flute. Applebloom got a good look at this and saw that Sweetie Belle was trying to play the flute and trampoline at the same time.

Applebloom watched Sweetie Belle do her thing as the latter then lost her focus with a bounce that was a little to hard, causing her to jump off and shout as she fell towards Applebloom, who stepped out of the way with Sweetie Belle landing smack on her face. As Sweetie Belle got up and shook her head to get the dirt off, she saw Applebloom and smiled as she greeted her. "Hi Applebloom!"

"Hi to you as well Sweetie Belle." Applebloom replied, finding Sweetie Belle's attempt at finding her Cutie Mark talent to be even more ridiculous than the last. "Playing music while trampolining? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't acrobatic ponies need all four hooves in over to successfully and consistently pull off every skill in the book?"

"Maybe, but if I can pull this off then my talent could be acrobatics or music." Sweetie Belle explained, and then she realized how badly she did with both of them combined. "Or...maybe not. I'm pretty sure face-planting isn't part of the picture." Applebloom snickered a bit with Sweetie Belle brushing off how she found her screw up funny. "Hey. Pinkie Pie's having a party at Sugarcube Corner for the students and the second semester of school. You wanna come?"

Applebloom did find a party tempting, but then she heard the obnoxious voice of Diamond Tiara from behind. "Two lame blank flanks, sitting in a tree;"

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon then started speaking in sync as they continued to mock Applebloom. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

Applebloom was starting to get annoyed with Sweetie Belle being confused by this taunt. "But I'm straight."

"It's meant to be mocking." Applebloom explained, and then she walked up to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, starting to find their presence even more annoying. "Since the party is for students, I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to attend. Applejack forgot to ground me anyway."

"Tch. Obviously an orphan like yourself would be able to avoid a grounding." Applebloom gave a blunt look as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed in response to the former's taunt. They were about to get it. And they did. Applebloom shoved them both into trash cans and then walked off with Sweetie Belle shouting out to her. "You're gonna get it Applebloom!"

"Yeah, put your ego into it!" Applebloom shouted back, sighing as Sweetie Belle joined her and she spoke up. "Wanna get a milkshake?"





Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were at Sugarcube Corner as the two of them discussed Cutie Marks. "So this whole Cutie Mark thing. Do you think what Cheerilee said about them being linked to our talents rather than our careers was true, or that it was total dog phit?"

"I could see it going either way." Sweetie Belle admitted, having put a bunch of attempts in today already and having had none of them succeed. "But if we're lucky, our talents will just be something we find out about at random."

"Isn't that how they're supposed to be found out?" Applebloom asked, and that got Sweetie Belle thinking as Applebloom started venting about the world. "Thing is, I don't wanna just sit around and wait all the time. I know I'm usually zoned into my phone and falling asleep in class, but if I could, I'd leave Ponyville right now and go on an adventure. I wanna travel, see places I've never seen before, maybe discover a new species I could grow an attachment to. But instead I'm (Pounds hoof on table) stuck here for four and a half more years."

Applebloom sighed as she put her elbows on the table and continued to vent about the world. "And even if the road was hard, it'd be a lot better than getting a high estate job only to get jicked over by some scumbag who scams you out of everything you own."

Sweetie Belle was listening to what Applebloom had to say, but then she brought up something from her point of view. "Well when you think about it, getting scammed is something that you can come back from if you have the right mindset."

Applebloom saw what Sweetie Belle was getting at, finding her short, but valid point to be uplifting. "How come we've never had a conversation until now? You're actually...cool today." Sweetie Belle smiled as she took a sip of her strawberry shake with Applebloom realizing a setback to traveling. "Now that I think about it though, I'd have to learn how to cook in order to survive if I travel." Applebloom saw Pinkie Pie baking in the kitchen and got an idea that gave her joy.

As Pinkie Pie cooked in the kitchen, Applebloom went back there and saw that Pinkie Pie had quite the big derriere on her. It was the size of at least two normal pony butts, and as she moved it around, Applebloom couldn't help but get caught up in it. She naturally had a thing for butts and stuff, being that she was in her early teens. Pinkie Pie turned around and saw her, closing the oven with her butt as she did. "Hi Applebloom! You need something?"

Applebloom snapped out of her trance and decided to ask Pinkie Pie the question she had for her. "Okay, here's the deal Pinkie Pie. I wanna travel one day, maybe the whole world, and I'll need to know how to cook in order to get by. How are you at training people to make sweets?"

Pinkie Pie was glad to see that Applebloom required her services, knowing that she could help her with her problem. Assuming you could call it one anyway. "I'm glad you asked! I taught myself everything I know, but with a little help from Mrs. Cake, I perfected my baking skill and I think I can teach you a thing or two."

"You THINK, or you know? Baking is pretty straightforward." Applebloom asked, and Pinkie Pie brought her over to the oven, making sure she didn't get burned and she gave her a look at the book of baking recipes she had in mind. Applebloom was thankful that Pinkie Pie offered to help her, and she didn't wanna go overboard right away, so she found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that should work like a charm. "Have you made any cookies yet? They look like you'd have to TRY to mess them up."

Pinkie Pie felt that Applebloom made the best choice, getting the ingredients out so the two could get to work. "Let's do it! I'll make a baker out of you yet!" Applebloom always did like Pinkie Pie's enthusiasm, even if she found it kind of annoying with those who didn't earn it.





Applebloom and Pinkie Pie were waiting for the cookies to be done with Applebloom sitting by Pinkie's already made snacks and snagging herself a chocolate cupcake. As she was waiting for the cookies to get done, she felt that she and Pinkie Pie could use some humor to lighten up the mood. "Waiting. Definitely the most fun game in the world. I never feel like dying when I'm forced into it." Pinkie Pie's giggle showed that Applebloom's sarcastic words did the trick.

Just then, the timer dinged, indicating that the cookies were done as Pinkie Pie dashed up to the oven. "Cookies are done!" Applebloom opened up the oven and Pinkie Pie pulled the cookies out, making sure she had a hoof shaped oven mitt on to get them out with. She set them on the counter and got a good look with Applebloom as they admired their work. "These sure do look good."

"Dang straight. Thanks for helping me make them Pinkie." Applebloom responded, even though she was technically at Pinkie Pie's. "I know it's your bakery, but I'm glad you let me do most of the work."

"It was no problem." Pinkie Pie assured Applebloom, and then she rubbed her head as she finished what she was saying. "Maybe next time we can get to cake." Just then, a bunch of chattering was heard outside with Pinkie Pie remembering what was going on. "Oh-no, the party! (Runs outside with the snacks) I'll bring our cookies out when they're done cooling off!"

Applebloom wasn't too worried about attending the party, going into the dining area as Pinkie Pie was shown putting on her roller skates. Applebloom had to admit that she was curious as to why Pinkie Pie wore them while on the clock. "Why do you serve people in roller skates anyway?"

"It adds the fun factor to the waitress part of this job." Pinkie Pie explained, putting her roller skates into walk mode as she got ready to serve whoever needed her food.

Applebloom went over to Sweetie Belle, finding that she was sipping her milkshake as she tried to get the cherry through the straw. Applebloom quickly took notice of this and gave a deadpan look as she sat down next to Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie, stop that; it won't any further into the straw." Sweetie Belle took the straw out of her mouth and ate the cherry from the bottom, making sure to spit the stem back into the cup. "Yo Pinkie, we got a cleanup job over here!"

Pinkie Pie retrieved the milkshake glasses from Applebloom as Spike and Scootaloo entered Sugarcube Corner. They seemed to be discussing a show that the two of them were currently watching as Scootaloo expressed her feelings on one scene. "I'm just saying Spike. I think it could've been really interesting to see what would've happened if Orion actually left."

"Maybe, but there's no guarantee he and Andy would've survived out there. They're strong, yeah, but they'd have to resort to wild dog methods to survive." Just then, Spike and Scootaloo heard nasty giggling, leaving them to look to their right and spot Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. "Oh great, it's Princess Spoiled and her royal suck up."

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon arrived at Applebloom and Sweetie Bell's booth with Diamond Tiara speaking up. "So farm blank flank. You actually bothered to show up. (Gets enraged) You're lucky my maid knows how to speed wash me, or you'd be sued for everything you own."

Applebloom was indifferent to Diamond Tiara's taunt as she then made one of her own after getting a good look at the matching dresses of bright blue and white lines with diamonds on them. "Am I supposed to be threatened by a spoiled brat who emphasizes on her clothes just to show off how rich she is?"

"Oh, now you're gonna get it!" Diamond Tiara demanded, and then she turned to Silver Spoon. "Silver spoon, pull out my knife collection."

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were stunned as Silver Spoon took out a knife box and showed it to Diamond Tiara. "You wanna use the swift kill?"

Diamond Tiara liked the sound of that and figured it'd be best for this situation. "I would like this to end quickly."

Just then, a claw slammed down on the box, leaving Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stunned before they looked and saw Spike and Scootaloo glaring at them. She already knew not to mess with Spike, but that didn't stop her from targeting Scootaloo. "Really? The only kid in the school who flexed on me, with a fart no less, is teaming up with THIS loser blank flank? (Scootaloo starts to get mad as Spike puts a claw on her shoulder for support) I thought you'd be with your stupid adult friends or something."

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon snickered as Applebloom and Sweetie Belle saw that they were being stood up for by Spike and Scootaloo, deciding to do the same, despite knowing they could hold their own. Applebloom was the first to speak up as she turned Diamond Tiara over to her. "Um, yeah. one of those 'stupid adult friends', is my sister. And yeah she's boring, but at least she has common sense." Diamond Tiara gave a nervous grin, one that Applebloom gave a sly grin towards.

Just then, Applebloom threw Diamond Tiara out of the window, leaving Spike to give a deadpan look to Silver Spoon. This instantly told Silver Spoon to run, which she did, leaving some of the other kids to cheer, as they overheard what'd just happened. Spike then saw that Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle all lacked cutie marks, feeling that they could bond over that. "You three have two things in common. You lack cutie marks, for now anyway, and you're also targets for Diamond Tiara. Maybe you could make that work."

The three fillies looked at each other with Scootaloo liking the sight of Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, Applebloom looking intrigued, and Sweetie Belle being excited as Spike then rubbed his claws together before walking off. "I should probably be leaving the group for a bit anyway. (Walks off) Lightspeed and I might get closer if I play my cards right."

The three fillies sat down together with Sweetie Belle being confused about something. "I thought Spike and Lightspeed were a thing already."

"Apparently he's waiting until the gala to ask him out." Scootaloo explained in reference to Spike's wording of the scenario. "I mean, he already did, but they're gonna become a couple if Lightspeed says yes."

Sweetie Belle understood the scenario better now with Applebloom taking a better liking to being friends with her and Scootaloo. "Spike's right though. Maybe the three of us COULD be a group. And we could all find our Cutie Marks together and learn what our talents are."

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle liked the idea, leaving Scootaloo to be on board as she gave a smile to the idea. "That could be great!"

"And maybe we'll find some other things we have in common too." Sweetie Belle pointed out, hoping that this friend group could last. "What should we call ourselves? Our group has to have a cool name to stand out."

The three thought for a moment with Scootaloo coming up with a name quickly. "The Cutie Three?"

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle didn't like that one, leaving Sweetie Belle to come up with one of her own. "Maybe...The Cutie Markers?"

Scootaloo didn't like that one either, and Applebloom outright hated it, even making a buzzing sound to indicate how bad she thought it was. The three continued to think with Applebloom coming up with a name that she felt would work great with all three of them. "I got it! How about, the Cutie Mark Crusaders?"

All three of the fillies really liked that one, so they stuck with it, putting their hooves over the table as they all spoke up. "Cutie Mark Crusaders, (Raise their hooves) formed!"

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were surprised with their fast friendship, but were also glad that they had other blank flanks to talk to. This led to Applebloom getting a thought in mind about where they could hang out. "First order of business, meet me at my place after the party."





Applebloom was explaining what was going on to Applejack, hoping she would happily oblige with her request without any hesitation. "So, yeah. Long story short, I have two new friends now and I plan to hang out with them as much as possible, so we need you to build us a treehouse so we have somewhere to hang out."

Applejack did like the idea of making the CMC a treehouse, feeling that it wouldn't hurt to help. "That's not a bad idea Applebloom. I'll see if I have the supplies in the barn and you three can decide what you want your treehouse to look like."

Applejack headed into the farm with the CMC nodding to each other, walking into the house as they started discussing it as Applebloom spoke up first. "Obviously we have to make sure it's big, but not too big. What do you guys say to a one story tree house that has all kinds of cool stuff for us to try out?"

"Why not a two story house with a slide on the second floor?" Scootaloo suggested, leaving Applebloom impressed by her unique idea as the Pegasus then went into daredevil mode. "Then I can slide down it at max speed with my scooter and (Eyes start flaming with intensity) totally shred through the air!"

Applebloom liked this feisty attitude with Sweetie Belle being a bit surprised by it before she had a thought of her own. "Maybe I could have Rarity make some streamers for us to put around the treehouse for decorations."

"That would make it look more lively." Applebloom thought out loud, and then she had another idea herself. "And maybe we can have a mini-fridge in case we get hungry and we don't wanna go all the way home to get some food." The CMC continued talking about their ideas with Applejack then shown to be gathering the supplies to make the treehouse, hoping that it wouldn't be anything too complex.





One week later, Applejack had just finished building the treehouse with the CMC admiring what she'd done with it. It had everything they were talking about yesterday from the second floor with a slide shooting out the window, the streamers Sweetie Belle asked Rarity to make, and even the mini-fridge to keep them from getting hungry without leaving the treehouse. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were impressed with Applebloom giving a proud smile as the Pegasus spoke up. "This is so wicked!"

Sweetie Belle squeed with excitement, only being able to imagine what kinds of cutie mark quests she and her friends could do. "We're gonna have so much fun in here!"

"I think we can all agree on that." Applebloom confidently replied, and then she got a look at the streamers, all of them being pink, and gained a deadpan look to Sweetie Belle. "I have to ask though. Did you have to make ALL the streamers pink?" Sweetie Belle giggled while rubbing her the back of her head, and Applebloom quickly smiled and spoke happily about the future. "Whatever. This is gonna work out just fine." The CMC's Treehouse was shown in all it's glory as the screen faded to black, ending the chapter off.





An instrumental version of the main theme played during the credits.
