The Episode begins with Marinette having Marinette set Manon next to the TV with Twilight next to her
"Alright, what do you wanna watch?" Twilight asked
"Full House!" Manon answered
"Seems like a good one" Marinette said
Then Marinette puts the TV on
"Okay Manon, since we have homework to do you'll be watching this alone, but don't worry we'll return when we have the chance" Twilight said
"Okay!" Manon said sadly
"Hey, perk up, if you sit still we can probably go to the park and get a lolipop again" Marinette said
Then Manon nodded as Marinette and Twilight went upstairs and when they were gone Manon shuts off the TV being the sneaky girl she is and walks sneakily upstairs where she saw Ladybug and pony Twilight ready to go into the portal
"Alright Marinette, time for some lessons" Twilight said
"Good" Marinette said
Then the two stepped into the portal but not before Manon saw them go in as she gasped
"Marinette and Twilight are being stolen!!! I gotta save them!" Manon said
Then Manon ran straight into the portal just before it stopped as she then started spinning
Just then Manon arrived inside the Golden Oak Library as she sneakily jumped into the bushes of Ponyville before she took a stroll before she arrived at the School house as she knocked on the door
"Come on in" A voice called out
Then Manon walked in causing the other ponies to gasp in shock and confusion except for Apple Bloom who was shocked and worried
"Who are you little being?" A voice asked
Then Manon turned around and saw a dark pink pony with lighter pink mane and tail with a lighter strike and three yellow and pink flowers with a smile as a Cutie Mark
"Oh nothing I was just searching for Twilight and Marinette" Manon said
"Why?" The adult pony asked
"Cause I have a feeling they were stolen" Manon answered
"Alright, well if you are sure they're stolen why don't you stay here before further notice" The pony suggested
Then Manon nodded as she took a seat next to the adult pony as other ponies started whispering and more
"Let's quiet down, please We have a very important lesson to get too" The adult pony said before everypony got quiet "Thank you Today we are going to be talking about Cutie Marks" The adult pony said
Then Cheerilee pulled off a paper from the signboard which then showed different Cutie Marks thee yellow and blue candy wrap Cutie Marks, a silver and bronze horseshoes together, three carrots, two yellow and white flowers, three pink umbrella's three cyan diamonds two dolphins a sea blue one and a purple one, three suns and three hearts with one being green and the other being cyan
"Bo-ring" A pony said
Then the screen showed a light pink pony with purple mane and tail with a white stripe on it, she also wears a cyan crown and her Cutie Mark is a dark blue crown who was bored as Apple Bloom glared at her before returning the look at Cheerilee
"You can all see my Cutie Mark, can't you?" The adult pony asked as Apple Bloom grabbed a pencil to write things down "Like all ponies, I wasn't born with a Cutie Mark. My flank was blank" The adult pony explained
After saying that a cream like pony with red poofy mane and tail with purple glasses sighed in awe
"She's so precious!" The cream pony said
"Then one day, when I was about your age. I woke up to find that a Cutie Mark had appeared" The adult pony explained
Then the adult pony wiped her filly picture away making the other show a poofy mane while also wearing and funny things
"Look at her hair!" A pony said
Then everypony laughed as the adult pony rolled her eyes
"Yes I know, but honestly, that's how everypony was wearing that mane back then. I had decided to become a teacher, and the flowers sympolized my hope that I could see my future students bloom if I nurture them with knowledge. The smiles represents the cheer I hope to bring my little ponies while they were learning. Now, can anypony tell me when a pny gets his or her Cutie Mark?" The adult pony asked
"Oh! Oh! Oh! When she discovers that certain something that makes her special!" The cream pony answered
"That's right, Twist. A Cutie Mark appears on a pony's flank when he or she finds that certain something that makes them different from every other pony. Discovering what makes you unique isn't something" The adult pony explained
"Pssst!" The pink pony called out
"That happens overnight, and no amount of hoping, wishing" The adult pony explained
"Pssst!" The pink pony called out again
"Or begging, would make a Cutie Mark appear before it's time" The adult pony explained
"Psssst!" The pink pony called out once more
"What?!" Apple Bloom asked angrily turning to the pink pony
Then Diamond Tiara picks a note from her table and passes it to Apple Bloom which Manon noticed
"Miss, Diamond Tiara is passing a note!" Manon called out
Then Apple Bloom grabbed the note right before Cheerilee called out to her
"Apple Bloom! Are you passing a note?" The adult pony asked
"Uh, I... Um..." Apple Bloom struggled
"What could be so important that it couldn't wait until after class?" The adult pony asked before seeing a blank note "It's blank" Cheerilee gasped in shock
Then the pink pony started laughing
"Remind you of anypony?" The pink pony asked
Then the pink pony continued to laugh before talking in rumors as Apple Bloom frowned sadly at Manon who also felt bad for her
A few hours later after School, Manon, Apple Bloom and the cream pony walked out of the School before walking across the streets talking to each other
"Want some sweets?" The cream pony asked "I've got some peppermint sticks. I made them myself" The cream pony said
"Sure, just tell me where we meet you" Manon said
But Apple Bloom disagreed with Manon as she shook her head sadly
"They'll make you smi-i-ile" The cream pony said trying to cheer Apple Bloom up
"No..." Apple Bloom said sadly
"I don't know why we had to sit through a lecture about getting a Cutie Mark. I mean, waiting for your Cutie Mark is sooo last week" The pink pony said to a grey pony with a lighter gray mane and tail with a tiny bit lighter gray stripe and it's hair was in an Elsa form with an pink elastic over it and a cyan pearl necklace, she even wore cyan glasses and of course had a cyan spoon with a dark pink heart shaped in the middle "You got yours, I just got mine. We all have them already" The pink pony said before she realizes something and turns to the cream pony, Apple Bloom and Manon "I mean, almost all of us have them already. Don't worry, you two, you're still totally invited to my cute ceañera this weekend" The pink pony said
"It's going to be amazing" The gray pony said
"It's a party celebrating me and my fantastic Cutie Mark. How could it not be?" The pink pony asked
"Bump! Bump! sugar-lump, rump!" The gray and pink pony both chanted before laughing
"Gimme a break" Apple Bloom said angrily
"See you this weekend..." The gray pony said
Then the two walked off while laughing before saying
"Blank flanks!" The duo said in unison
After that they left laughing again
"That's so mean" Manon said in anger
"Agreed" Apple Bloom said in agreement
A while later Apple Bloom returned to the barn where Applejack was working
"It's not fair! It's just not fair!" Apple Bloom said in anger
Then Applejack scoffed while looking at Apple Bloom angrily
"Don't get your mane in a tangle. You'll get your Cutie Mark. Everypony gets one eventually" Applejack explained
"But I don't want one eventually! I want one right now! I can't go to Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera without one, I just can't!" Apple Bloom said worriedly
'Course you can. Y'know, I was the last pony in my class to get a Cutie Mark, and I couldn't be prouder of it. I knew my future was to run Sweet Apple Acres, and these bright shiny apples sealed the deal" Applejack explained before gasping in realization "Come to think of it, Granny Smith was the last one in her class too. Huh, same as Big Macintosh" Applejack explained
"I really don't see how that's supposed to make me feel better. It probably means that being the last one in your class to get a Cutie Mark runs in the family" Apple Bloom said sadly before she realizes something "Runs in the family. Runs in the family! Runs in the family!" Apple Bloom said in shock holding Applejack "You've got apples for your Cutie Mark, Granny Smith has an apple pie, Big Macintosh has an apple half, my unique talent must have som'n to do with apples!" Apple Bloom said before jumping in the air "Apples, apples, apples!" Apple Bloom called jumping before she fell onto the bucket causing the bucket to fall to the ground with her on it "Oops... Apples" Apple Bloom said embarrassingly
Then Manon ran towards Apple Bloom which shocked Applejack
"Are you alright, Apple Bloom?" Manon asked
"Yes, I am" Apple Bloom answered before she along with Manon saw Applejack glaring "Well, I was about to tell you eventually" Apple Bloom said embarrassingly
"Ya better tell me now!" Applejack said in anger
"Well, Marinette and Twilight were supposed to watch over me but when they said they had to do homework I wanted to check and see how it was going before I saw them get stolen by Ladybug and Twilight before going into a portal as I followed them" Manon explained
"I'll have a talk with those two about leaving kids behind but you're still gonna be punished!" Applejack said in anger
"Well, it wasn't my fault" Apple Bloom said sadly
"I know it isn't and as punishment for A: breaking some apples and B: Going in Twilight and Marinette's personal space you'll both have to come to the market and help me, also Apple Bloom, it gives you a chance to earn your Cutie Mark" Applejack said in anger
"We're sorry" Manon and Apple Bloom said sadly
A while later Applejack, Apple Bloom and Manon arrived at the apple stand
"Get your delicious, nutritious apples here!" Applejack announced
"Delicious and nutritious, and so many uses!" Apple Bloom agreed before she ate the apple which was once on her head "You can eat 'em" Apple Bloom said before picking an apple and throwing it in the air before smacking it with a cyan and black tennis rocket breaking the apple and making the tennis rocket dirty as a few pieces of the apple flew against someone
"Hey, watch it!" A pony called out
"Create fine art for your home with 'em" Apple Bloom suggested before she threw another apple and kicked it as it flew onto a plain painting before breaking and smearing it all across the paper of some sort, the paintbrush and across the muzzle and chin from a purple unicorn with gold mane and tail and a Cutie Mark of 5 stars 4 small ones circling the big one which shocked him as Apple Bloom jumped towards him "You have to be crazy not to get a bushel of your very own" Apple Bloom said
Then Applejack pulled Apple Bloom towards her
"Heh... She's so creative" Applejack complimented sarcastically
Then a brown stallion with a darker brown mane and a hour watch walked by causing Apple Bloom to follow him
"You, sir, care t' buy some apples?" Apple Bloom asked
"No thanks" The brown stallion answered
Then Apple Bloom popped up from another spot
"Why not?" Apple Bloom asked
Then the brown stallion backed off worriedly
"I have plenty at home" The brown stallion answered
Then Apple Bloom returned to the ground unknowingly
"Are you sure?" Apple Bloom asked
"Yes, I'm pretty sure I..." The brown stallion asked worriedly stepping forward
Then Apple Bloom zipped forward
"You're pretty sure, but you're not absolutely positively completely super-duper sure, are you?" Apple Bloom asked
Y...ah... If I buy some apples, will you please leave me alone?"' The brown stallion asked
"All right!" Apple Bloom answered
Then the brown pony threw some coins in Applejack's apron before picking an apple and running off
"You forgot your change!" Applejack called out to him
But the brown stallion didn't return as Manon hoofpumped Apple Bloom
"Woo-hoo! That's how you sell s'm apples and get a Cutie Mark!" Apple Bloom cheered
"Uh..." Manon said worriedly
Then Apple Bloom turned to her back and spinned around as Applejack turned to her confused
"So what does my Cutie Mark look like? A shopping cart full of apples? A satisfied customer eating an apple?" Apple Bloom asked before stopping with spinning and started thinking "Hmm... Maybe I gotta increase my sales figures first" Apple Bloom said seeing a purple pony with a darker purple mane and some grapes as a Cutie Mark sniffing some apples inside the bucket "You touch it, you buy it! We take cash or credit" Apple Bloom ordered angrily
Then the purple pony backed off in fright
"I'm sorry, ma'am" Applejack apologized before the purple pony zipped off in fright "Ma'am!" Applejack called out in worry before angrily turning to Apple Bloom and Manon who helped Bon Bon with a few buckets of apples "Now Apple Bloom, you can't just..." Applejack started before noticing Apple Bloom and Manon helping Bon Bon
"That'll be four bits" Apple Bloom said
"I didn't put those in my bag" Bon Bon said angrily
"Likely story. four bits, ma'am" Apple Bloom ordered
Then Applejack walked towards the two and covered Apple Bloom's mouth who then looked in shock
"Apple Bloom!" Applejack yelled out in anger before turning to Bon Bon "I am really really sorry about that" Applejack said before glaring at the two They're new" Applejack said before throwing a few apples in Bon Bon's bag "Here, take these" Applejack said before stopping "No charge" Applejack said as Bon Bon continued to glare "And these" Applejack said putting a few more apples in the bag but Bon Bon continued to glare "And these" Applejack said pulling the last bucket next to herself before throwing the bucket on Bon Bon's bag causing Bon Bon to groan in pain before walking off with all her might "Ya'll come back now, y'hear?" Applejack called out
When Bon Bon was fully gone Applejack glared at Manon and Apple Bloom who were happy that the job was complete
"Way to go Apple Bloom!" Manon complimented
"Thanks Manon" Apple Bloom thanked
"No worries" Manon said
Then Applejack angrily walked up to the two
"What?" Apple Bloom asked
"Sorry, little sis and Manon, but your apple-sellling days are over" Applejack said
Then Applejack ripped both Apple Bloom and Manon's apron off
"What? But how else am I gonna get my Cutie Mark?" Apple Bloom asked grabbing her apron
"And how else are you gonna send me back to Paris?" Manon asked grabbing her apron
"Home. Now" Applejack ordered angrily
Then Apple Bloom spits off her apron while Manon crosses her arms before frowning and glaring at Applejack making Applejack sigh in sadness
"Listen, sugarcube. I know it's very hard to wait for your Cutie Mark and to return home, but, yoou just can't force it. Besides, you're both not that grown-up just yet. Ain't there other fillies in your class without one?" Applejack asked
"Well... Twist doesn't have hers yet" Apple Bloom answered
"And if you're talking about some smart people of some sort in my School, Ella and Etta aren't smart either" Manon answered
"Do you think you'd feel better if you went to the party with Twist?" Applejack asked
Then Apple Bloom shyly nodded happily
"Well there you go. Bet you and Twist would have a great time togeter. Now run along and find your friend" Applejack suggested
Then Apple Bloom started running before stopping in realization as she turned around
"You're sure you don't want me to stick around 'til the end of th' market?" Apple Bloom asked
"Hey! Who's been using my racket?" A pony asked
Then the screen turned to see an adult cream pony with a few pieces of his fur sticking out a brown mane and tail with a mustache which goes from his hair to the top of his mouth, he wears a red headband, yellow shorts with white stripes on the middle and a blue armband with a white stripe in the middle
"Yeah. I'm sure" Applejack answered
Then Apple Bloom ran off
"What about me, how do I get Ella and Etta?" Manon asked
"We can figure that out later but for now you may go with Apple Bloom" Applejack suggested
"On it!" Manon said before running after Apple Bloom "Wait for me!" Manon called out
Soon Manon and Apple Bloom arrived at Twist's home as Apple Bloom knocked on the door
"Oh,what's up, Apple Bloom and Manon?" Twist asked
"So I was thinkin'... Maybe we could go to Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera together. I don't have a Cutie Mark, Manon is gonna stay here for a while, you don't have a Cutie Mark" Apple Bloom thought
"Well, um..." Twist said sadly
Then Twist got down and pulls something away and then opens the door showing off his Cutie Mark which is two bowed candy in the shape of a heart making Apple Bloom and Manon gasp
"Isn't my Cutie Mark swell?" Twist asked
"Yes, but explain how you got this Cutie Mark if I spelled it correct?" Manon asked
"I've always loved making my own favorite sweets, but it took me some time to discover that it was my super-special talent. Pretty sweet, huh" Twist explained
"Sure is, you could definitely be Pinkie's cousin" Manon said
"How do you know Pinkie?" Apple Bloom asked
"Well, I know two and one of them is a superhero in Paris and the other takes care of me whenever I'm at Marinette's home, take the time with Stormy Weather for example" Manon answered
"Don't you think they're the same?" Apple Bloom asked
"No because they're both different one has a brighter skin than the other" Manon answered
"Weird" Apple Bloom thought before sitting on the ground
"Don't you like it?" Manon asked
"I do, it's pretty... sweet" Apple Bloom answered sadly
"Hey... This doesn't mean we can't go to the cute-ceañera together. You're still gonna come to the party, are you?" Twist asked
Then the two bullies walked by as the pink pony talked first
"Of course she will" The pink pony answered
"It's not like being the only pony there without a Cutie Mark would be, like, the most embarrassing thing ever
Then Apple Bloom started blushing sadly
Then Apple Bloom and Manon went near a well in sadness as Manon sadly rubbed a sad Apple Bloom on the back before Rainbow zipped by
"Whoa, looks like somepony and somebody's got a dark cloud hanging over their heads. Let me do something about that" Rainbow said before headbutting the cloud away as she then went onto the ground in worry "What's the matter, kid?" Rainbow asked
Then Apple Bloom gasped before starting to talk rapidly
"There's a cute-ceañera this afternoon and everypony in my class including Manon will be there and they'll have their Cutie Marks except Manon since she's a human and I wanna get my Cutie Mark but I'm no good at sellin' apples but I really want to go to the party but how can I party if I don't have my Cutie Mark which my big sister says I'm gonna get it eventually but... I WANT IT NOW!" Apple Bloom explained before yelling sadly
"Okay, and how did you get here Manon?" Rainbow asked
Then Manon gasped before starting to talk rapidly too
"Well it all started when Twilight and Marinette were supposed to watch over me before they had to do homework but when I went to check on them because I was suspicious I saw Twilight and Ladybug steal her and throw them into the portal so I followed them before I jumped into the bushes before trying to find some help as I went to a building which was closed and looked like a church as I knocked on the door before going in before I saw Diamond Tiara and her lackey bully Apple Bloom and Twist so I along with them went to Sweet Apple Acres and that's when Apple Bloom's explanation goes in" Manon explained rapidly
"I'm gonna help you find your way back home but first, you said you wanted a Cutie Mark? I can get you a Cutie Mark like that!" Rainbow said pointing to her own Cutie Mark
"Applejack says these things take time. I have to just wait for it to happen" Apple Bloom said sadly
"Why wait for something to happen when you can make it happen?" Rainbow asked
"But Applejack says th---" Apple Bloom started before Rainbow interupted her
"Hey, who are you gonna listen to, Applejack, or the pony who was first in her class to get a Cutie Mark? I always liked flying an' all, but I was going nowhere in a hurry. It wasn't until my very first race that I discovered a serious need for speed, and KAZAM, this sweet baby appeared as fast as lightning" Rainbow explained
Then Rainbow flew off with a proud smile as Apple Bloom and Manon looked in awe at the sight
Sooner or later the two arrived at a cliff where the Apple Bloom started training with Manon having every necessary thing at the ready in case she got tired as Apple Bloom was pumping with her hooves to get stronger while having a cyan headband over her head while Rainbow had her signature white headband and whistle at the ready
"That's right, stretch out those legs. Gotta be nice and loose The key here is to try as many things as possible as quickly as possible. One of them is bound to lead to your Cutie Mark. Are you ready?" Rainbow asked
Just then Apple Bloom stood back ready for whatever challenge she had to face
"I'm ready" Apple Bloom answered proudly
"I said: Are! You! Ready?!" Rainbow asked yellingly
"I'M READY" Apple Bloom yelled in answer
Just then Manon threw some balls towards Apple Bloom
"Juggling, go!" Rainbow called out before whistling
Then Apple Bloom caught the ball and started juggling before slipping and falling before a lot of balls fell down and hits her on the forehead as Manon puts some ice on Apple Bloom
Later when Apple Bloom got better, Manon gave Apple Bloom a hang-glider as she puts it on with some goggles in front of her eyes
"Hang-glliding, go!" Rainbow called out before whistling
Then Apple Bloom started running before slipping as she started spinning before being stuck upside down right in front of a cliff as Manon pulled her back to the ground while Rainbow looked seriously
Later Manon, Apple Bloom and Rainbow found themselves at a dojo where Apple Bloom wore a Karate suit
"Karate, go!" Rainbow called out before whistling
Then Apple Bloom jumped into the air and charged for the stuffed bag before hitting it as she fell down in pain as Manon zipped towards her and wrapped some bandage on her
Later the trio found themselves on a cliff once more with Apple Bloom having kite supplies in her mouth with the Kite form behind her as Manon checked to see if it's okay before pulling a thumps up to Rainbow
"Kite-flying, go!" Rainbow called out before whistling
Then Manon started running with the kite supply in her mouth as the kite flew in the air for a bit before falling back onto the ground and got stuck in a hole as Manon got to the kite and pulled it off in defeat
Later the trio found themselves at a rollerskating championship room where Apple Bloom got some safety things on as Manon nodded
"Ultrapony Roller Derpy, go!" Rainbow called out before whistling
Then Apple Bloom started skating with three other ponies following behind as she looked back in worry before slipping as the three other ponies tried to brake down before Manon started pulling on their tails to try and keep them back as Apple Bloom rode to the side embarrassingly as Manon sighed in defeat
A while later after trying a few more things Rainbow, Apple Bloom and Manon we're sitting on a tree while Rainbow counted and that tree was also near Rarity's boutique
"Hey Apple Bloom, is your leg doing better?" Manon asked
"Yeah, even though I was slipping everytime I'm still fine" Apple Bloom answered
"Alright, now Rainbow did she earn a Cutie Mark from any of those challenges?" Manon asked
"Well... Tried that one... Tried that one... Tried that one..." Rainbow answered while counting every try that Apple Bloom did
Just then Manon and Apple Bloom saw the two bullies walk by with a present on their back as they hid behind a few bushes
"Your new outfit is, like, perfect for the party" The gray pony complimented
"I know. It totally shows off my Cutie Mark" The pink pony said in agreement
"I love being special" The gray pony said
"Can you imagine how embarrassing it must be to be... Not special?" The pink pony asked
"I don't even want to, like, think about it" The gray pony suggested
"Tried that one... Tried that one" Rainbow continued to answer
Then Apple Bloom and Manon went out of the bushes in sadness
"I'm doomed. Doomed! I'll never find sumth'n I'm good at" Apple Bloom said sadly
"Don't worry Apple Bloom, we can always find something else to try out" Manon suggested
"Like what?" Apple Bloom asked
Just then Pinkie zipped by
"You look like you'd be good at eatin' cupcakes" Pinkie said
"Eatin' cupcakes?" Apple Bloom asked
"Eatin' cupcakes?" Rainbow asked turning around
"Eating cupcaaakes!" Pinkie answered
"I do love myself some cupcakes, lead the way!" Manon suggested
"Also Manon, when we're done I'm gonna bring you home" Pinkie suggested
"Alrighty then, but I do wanna stay with Apple Bloom for a whole day" Manon said sadly
"You know what, you can stay but Twilight's coming later so I should tell her and she won't be too happy to hear that you got here same as Ladybug" Pinkie said angrily
"Yeah, yeah I get it but I have to save them!" Manon said determined
"Huh? Save, you know you're too young for adventures, right?" Pinkie asked
"Yeah, but still, I can't let anyone down" Manon answered
"Alright then, let's go!" Pinkie suggested
Then Pinkie pounced off with Manon after her as Apple Bloom turned around to where Rainbow stood
"I really appreciate all your help, Rainbow Dash. You're a really great coach and I really learned a lot from you and sure I can learn a lot more but... I've got some cupcakes to eat! See you at the cute-ceañera!" Apple Bloom said before running after Pinkie and Manon "Hold on, Pinkie Pie, I'm comin'" Apple Bloom yelled out running after the two
Sooner or later Apple Bloom, Manon and Pinkie arrived at Sugarcube Corner where they walked inside the kitchen
"I can't believe I didn't think of this. A cupcake-eating Cutie Mark. It's sooo obvious. Now, where are those cupcakes? I'm ready t' chow down!" Apple Bloom asked looking everywhere
"I don't have any cupcakes" Pinkie answered
Then Manon and Apple Bloom turned around in shock and sadness
"Oh" Manon and Apple Bloom said sadly
Just then Pinkie gasped in realization
"But you both look like you'd be good at helping me make some" Pinkie said
"You know, I wanna try a hand at cooking so I'm in" Manon said
"I gues, uh, making-cupcakes Cutie Mark could work too" Apple Bloom said in agreement
Just then Pinkie started singing
"I don't know if I remember all that but I'll try my best" Manon said
A while later Apple Bloom and Manon were working in a much too dirty room as there was batter all over the walls, floor and some closets as Manon went to the oven and grabbed some burned cupcakes out with a towel of some sort over her hands and when she did she let's it go in pain
"Hot, hot, hot!" Manon yelped
"Oooh, those look much better than the last batch" Pinkie said before eating one "Mmm" Pinkie said tastingly
"You really need your tastebuds check as those are fully burned" Manon said worriedly
"Nope, definitely not" Pinkie said
"I guess I'm not cut out to be a baker either" Apple Bloom said sadly while walking off as Manon ran towards her before following her and patting her back "I just have to face it. I'm gonna have a blank flank forever" Apple Bloom said almost crying
"No you're not, there must be something special about you" Manon said sadly
"What about that?" Pinkie asked pointing to Apple Bloom's back
Then Apple Bloom got shocked as she spinned around
"What about what? Is there something on my flank? Is there, is there, is there?" Apple Bloom asked before jumping to a fallen bowl as she checked to see that there was flour on her but she was hallucinating as she gasped "A Cutie Mark! It's a" Apple Bloom started before hallucinating a measuring cup "A measuring cup?' Apple Bloom said as the measuring cup disappeared "No" Apple Bloom started before it changed with an orange bowl with a yellow stripe in the middle "A mixing bowl?" Apple Bloom asked before it disappeared "No" Apple Bloom started before three cupcakes, one with white cream on it, one with green cream on it and another with yellow cream on it appeared "Are those cupcakes?" Apple Bloom started before it disappeared too "No" Apple Bloom started before it changed to the three cupcakes stacked on top "A tower of cupcakes maybe" Apple Bloom said happily
Then Pinkie blew the flour away which made Apple Bloom look in sadness
"Flour. It's flour! Yay! I guessed it. What game you wanna play next? Please say Bingo, please say Bingo" Pinkie hoped
"You do know you made Apple Bloom sad now" Manon said angrily
"Oops, my bad" Pinkie apologized
Just then Ladybug and Twilight walked into the room as Manon zipped off to get help
"Whoa, what's been going on in here?" Twilight asked
"We've been making cupcakes, wanna try them?" Pinkie asked pulling a tray in front of the two's noses
Just then Ladybug and Twilight sniffed the cupcakes as they had worried faces
"Nnnno thank you... Not that they don't look, heh, delicious" Twilight answered worriedly
"Same, I have eaten already so no thanks" Ladybug answered worriedly
Then Apple Bloom went towards Twilight and hung on her
"Twilight, you have to help me!" Apple Bloom said worriedly
"What's the matter?" Twilight asked
"Is there an akumatized victim?!" Ladybug asked worriedly
Then Apple Bloom gasped real hard before explaining rapidly
"No, Tiara's cute-ceañera's today and everypony in my class will be there and they'll all have their Cutie Marks and I want to get my Cutie Mark but I'm no good at selling apples or hang-gliding or making cupcakes, but I wanna go to the party but how can I go to the party if I don't have my Cutie Mark which Pinkie Pie says I can't just make appear, but I need it to appear, right now!" Apple Bloom explained rapidly
Then Ladybug and Twilight looked at each other in confusion before Twilight turned back to Apple Bloom
"Uhhh... I don't follow. How can I help you?" Twilight asked
"You can use your magic to make my Cutie Mark appear" Apple Bloom answered
"Oh no, Apple Bloom. A Cutie Mark is something a pony has to discover for herself" Twilight said worriedly
"Please Twilight, jus' trah" Apple Bloom said worriedly
"I'm sorry, but---" Twilight started before Apple Bloom interupted
"Oh, please, please, please, please, please!" Apple Bloom said getting more anxious
"All right, all right!" Twilight said in defeat
"She's a lot like Manon" Ladybug said
"You're right, Ladybug, anyway let's do it" Twilight said nervously as she used her magic to make a cart full of apples Cutie Mark appear making Apple Bloom happy
"Yes! I know you could do..." Apple Bloom started before the cart full of apples Cutie Mark disappeared "It" Apple Bloom said sadly
"I'm sorry, sweetie, but I told you---" Twilight said worriedly
"Try again, try again!" Apple Bloom suggested happily
Then Twilight sighed in defeat
"Twilight, you don't have to do it if you don't want to" Ladybug said
"Just do it!" Apple Bloom said
Then Twilight and Ladybug turned to see Apple Bloom with puppy dog eyes
"Fine! I'm sorry Ladybug but I have to" Twilight said
"Suit yourself" Ladybug said
Then Twilight used her magic to let a red and yellow kite Cutie Mark to appear before it disappeared again as Apple Bloom frowned making her give it another chance by making three blue cupcakes with white cream Cutie Mark appear before it also disappeared as Apple Bloom frowned again making her give it another shot as she made a cyan teddy bear Cutie Mark appear before it also disappeared as Twilight used her magic again making a red bike Cutie Mark appear as it also disappeared making Twilight go on and on and on and on the whole time until she had to pant in sadness and tiredness
"You alright Twilight?" Ladybug asked
"Yeah I'm fine and Apple Bloom, I told you that not even magic can make a Cutie Mark appear before it's time" Twilight said sadly
"It's hopeless, hopeless! I just won't go to the party, I can't go. Everyone will just laugh at me and make fun of me and call me names. It will be the worst night of my life" Apple Bloom said sadly
"Hey, Apple Bloom, just listen to me, I won't laugh at you or call you names and if someone does you'll at least have someone to stop them" Ladybug said motherly
Then Ladybug hugged Apple Bloom who started crying on her
"Yes she's right and I'm sure it won't be as bad as all that" Twilight said comfortingly
Just then Apple Bloom let's go still sad as she walked towards the room where the party was supposed to be
"Forget it, there's no way I'm going to that" Apple Bloom started before noticing the party starting making her gulp in worry "Party" Apple Bloom said worriedly
A while later a pony got to the tray of the cupcakes and took a bite before barfing it out into a bucket which Cat Noir brought just in case a pony got sick, while other ponies were talking or looking at the bullies' clothes as Apple Bloom zipped behind a chocolate pony while showing her head for a bit
"How could I have forgotten the time? How could I have forgottan that Pinkie Pie was hosting the party? How could I have forgotten it was at Sugarcube Corner?" Apple Bloom asked herself worriedly
Just then Pinkie walked towards Apple Bloom and puts a party hat on her
"Don't forget your partyhat, Forgetty forgetterson!" Pinkie said happily
"Pinkie, don't call her names!" Ladybug called out
"My bad" Pinkie apologized
Then Pinkie walked off as Ladybug walked closer to Pinkie and stood on guard for her
"Shall I help you have fun at the party?" Ladybug asked
"No, help me get out!" Apple Bloom suggested
"Okay then, I'll try my best" Ladybug said
Then Ladybug helped Apple Bloom get to a cake
"I have to get out of here before anypony else sees me" Apple Bloom said worriedly
Then Snails walked towards Apple Bloom before Ladybug pulled Apple Bloom's head back super fast so no one could see it before Snails ate a piece of the cake not knowing Apple Bloom and Ladybug were there before the pink pony walked towards him with the gray pony
"Hey! It's my cute-ceañera, I'm supposed to get the first bite at the cake" The pink pony said in anger
Then Ladybug helped Apple Bloom get to the cyan filly with purple main and tail in one or two pony tails with a magenta stripe and a red hat with a white flower on it as Apple Bloom buried herself so deep underneath it as she could before that pony walked off making her zip towards a few balloons before another pony with blue coat and silver mane and tail started popping balloons while dancing as Ladybug helped Apple Bloom get across the party grounds before Ladybug saw a table with juice on it as Ladybug pointed at it making Apple Bloom zip and hide underneath it as Ladybug along with Apple Bloom's helped dragged the table and herself towards another spot
"Okay, Apple Bloom. Almost there" Ladybug said
Ladybug dropped it as another pony specifically the pony who got scared before got to bowl and took a sip out of it and when she was gone Apple Bloom continued to walk towards the end of the line and when they were closeby Apple Bloom sneakingly walked towards the end of the floor as Ladybug brought the table back to it's spot before she and Apple Bloom noticed Applejack standing there who had just noticed Apple Bloom just sneaking out
"Apple Bloom, you made it. After I heard about Twist, I was afraid you wouldn't show up. I sure am glad you cane to your senses about this whole Cutie Mark thing" Applejack said walking forward while Apple Bloom tried to go to the side but it didn't work "These things happen when things are supposed to happen. Trying to rush 'em drives you crazy" Applejack said before stopping as Apple Bloom backed off a bit "I'll let you be, looks like your friends want to talk to you" Applejack said
Just then Apple Bloom turned around only to see the gray and pink pony grinning at her before walking towards her as Apple Bloom looked back and saw a white cloak as she pulled it off and wrapped it over her
"Well well well, look who's here" The pink pony said meanly
"Nice outfit" The gray pony complimented
"Just sumt'n I, uh, pulled together last month" Apple Bloom explained
"It really shows off your Cutie Mark. Oh wait, you don't have one" The pink pony bullied
"Uh, I have a Cutie Mark" Apple Bloom corrected nervously
Eh, what? Since when?" The gray pony asked
"Since... Um... Earlier today" Apple Bloom answered lying
"Oh really? Let's see it" The pink pony ordered
"I shouldn't. I couldn't. My Cutie Mark is so unbelievably amazing, I'm afraid that if I show it off, everyone will start paying attention to me instead of you. Outshined on yoour own cute-ceañera" Apple Bloom said before getting closer to the pink pony "Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be?" Apple Bloom asked
Uh, forget it, I didn't really want to see it anyway" The pink pony said turning away
"Okay, well, I'm gonna go mingle. Enjoy your party" Apple Bloom complimented
Then Apple Bloom walked off while sighing in relief before she accidentally stepped on the cloak before slipping and falling to the ground showing off her flank which was blank and after that everypony gasped in shock even the bullies as the bullies zipped closer to Apple Bloom with an evil grin which made her worried
"Oh no" Apple Bloom said worriedly
"Wow, that is an amazing Cutie Mark" The gray pony said sarcastically
"Nice try" The pink pony said
"Blank flank!" The bullies called out
Then everypony except the Mane Six, Spike, Ladybug and Cat Noir laughed before Manon a pegasus filly with orange coat and a purple mane and tail and a unicorn with a white coat and purple and pink mane and tail walked in the room and hid underneath a table before they heard the others laughing
"You got a problem with blank flanks?" The orange pony asked angrily
Just then a lot of fillies gasped as they all turned towards the table where two ponies stood in the front before two ponies backed off showing the two ponies and a human aka Manon
"Manon?!" Some of the Mane Six, Spike and Ladybug called out in shock and anger
Just then the two ponies got out of the table with Manon after them before they walked next to Apple Bloom
"I said, you got a problem with blank flanks?" The orange pony asked again
"The problem is, I mean, she's like, totally not special" The gray pony answered
"No, it means she's full of potential" The white pony said
"It also means has a lot of time to find out her special talent, so don't force it!" Manon said in anger
"And it means she could be great at anything. The possibilities are" Scootaloo started before mocking "Like, endless" The orange pony said mockingly
"She could be a great scientist, or an amazing artist, or a famous writer. She could even be mayor of Ponyville someday" The white pony said
"And she's not stuck being stuck-ups like you two" The orange pony said
Then a lot of ponies, Spike, Ladybug and Cat Noir started laughing while a lot of ponies went towards the trio
"Hey, this is my party, why are you two on her side?" The pink pony asked
"Because" Scootaloo started
Then the duo showed them their flanks while Manon showed the side of her butt pretending she's a blank flank too which made Apple Bloom gasp in shock
"You don't have your Cutie Marks either? I thought I was the only one" Apple Bloom said in shock and happiness
"We thought we were the only two" Scootaloo said
"I for one think you are three very lucky fillies, even you Manon, you really saved Apple Bloom if I'm correct" Twilight said
"Thanks Twilight, wait a minute, weren't you supposed to be kidnapping humans?" Manon asked
"So that's what that was all about?" Twilight asked in shock, anger, confusion and laughter all at once
"Yes" Manon said embarrassingly "And I'm sorry, but I'll promise to keep this a secret" Manon said
"If you do you can always come here whenever you want to" Twilight said rubbing Manon's head
"Just don't sneak away next time when Marinette or Twilight are busy, I'm sure they're a bit worried to see you're gone" Ladybug said
"Yeah, but can we party for a bit first, please?!" Manon asked with puppy dog eyes
"Sure" Ladybug answered
Anyway, lucky? How can they be lucky?" The pink pony asked
Then Twilight glared at them before talking with a smile
"They still get to experience the thrill of discovering who they are, and what they're meant to be" Twilight explained
"And they got all the time in the world to figure it out, not just an afternoon" Applejack explained a bit angry and happy all the same
Then two ponies got closer to Apple Bloom
"Wow, Apple Bloom, I wish I could be a scientist" A pony wished
"Do you really think you could be mayor?" Another pony asked
"Maybe I get my Cutie Mark soon too" The third pony said
"Hey, what's everypony doing? This is my party, everypony is supposed to be paying attention to me" The pink pony said in anger
"Whatever. We still think you're losers, right, Diamond Tiara? Bump, bump, sugar" The gray pony started before seeing Diamond Tiara a bit angry "Lump" The gray pony stopped at the end
"Not now, Silver Spoon" Diamond Tiara said in anger
Then Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon left the room as the trio talked
"What's your guys' names?" Manon asked
"Name's Scootaloo" Scootaloo introduced
"And I'm Sweetie Belle" Sweetie Belle introduced
"Apple Bloom" Apple Bloom introduced
"And I'm Manon" Manon introduced
Later Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were sitting on the stairs in anger while the other ponies were partying with Twist even jumping to the beat
"This song is so super!" Twist complimented
"So I was thinking, now that we're friends... I mean, we are friends, right?" Apple Bloom asked
"How could we not be? We're totally alike. We don't have Cutie Marks, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon drive us crazy" Scootaloo answered
"Totally crazy" Sweetie Belle said in agreement
"And I'm sure Ladybug will sign me up in your School" Manon said in agreement
Then the four started laughing
"Well, now that we're friends, what if the three of us work together to find out who we are and what we're supposed to be?" Apple Bloom asked
"Ooh! Ooh! We could form our own secret society" Sweetie Belle suggested
"I'm liking this idea" Scootaloo said
"Same here" Manon said in agreement
"A secret society" Apple Bloom thought before she had an idea "Yeah. We need a name for it though" Apple Bloom said
"The Cutie Mark Four?" Scootaloo thought
"The Cutastically Fantastics?" Sweetie Belle thought
"The Toy Four?" Manon thought
Then the other three looked at Manon in confusion before Apple Bloom broke the silence
"How about... The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Apple Bloom asked
"It's perfect!" Scootaloo answered
"This is gonna be so great!" Sweetie Belle said in agreement
"Agreed" Manon agreed
"We're gonna be unstoppable!" Apple Bloom cheered
"What do you say we celebrate with some of these delicious cupcakes?" Scootaloo asked with a cupcake on the nose before she dropped it on the table
Then Scootaloo wanted to take a bite of it before Apple Bloom puts a hoof over her mouth
"Not the cupcakes" Apple Bloom said before letting go "Trust us" Apple Bloom suggested
"Agreed" Manon said worriedly
"Let's see if there are any cookies" Sweetie Belle suggested
"Yeah! Come on" Apple Bloom suggested
Meanwhile Twilight was writing a letter to Celestia
"Dearest Princess Celestia, I'm happy to report that one of your youngest subjects has learned a valauble lesson about friendship. Somethings the thing you think will cause you to lose friends and feel left out" Twilight started
Later during nighttime Celestia read the rest of the friendship lessons
"Can actually be the thing that helps you make your closest friends and realize how special you are" Princess Celestia said before turning to her Cutie Mark with a smile
