*Silverstorm's POV*


I ask "Any idea on how to get cutie marks?"

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo soon returned, with no cutie marks, and covered in tree sap.

I ask "Zip lining all at the same time?"

Scootaloo spoke "Yeah."

I spoke "That was reckless..."

Quick was also covered in sap, which meant his tails were stuck together.

Quick asks "A little help here?"

Seashell splashes the four with water, washing off the sap.

Sweetie Belle spoke "Thanks."

Seashell spoke "Good thing my affinity is water."

Heatwave uses his fire affinity to dry the four off.

Heatwave spoke "And mine is fire."

Nightshade exclaims "I have an idea! Why don't we ask Twilight and the others how they got their cutie marks?"

Applebloom spoke "Yeah!"

Heatwave spoke "Let's ask Applejack first."

Applebloom cheered at that before she started kissing Heatwave on the lips. She slowed down, then stopped after realizing what she was doing as she blushed in embarrassment at that.

A sudden pomf was heard since a pair of wings that were of the same color as Applebloom's body suddenly appear.


Scootaloo gasps "Holy hayseeds AB!"

Apple Bloom gasps "W-What in tarnation?!"

Sugar spoke "Looks like you suddenly became a Pegasus."

I spoke "Oh hey Applejack."

Applebloom yelps "GAH!!!"

Applejack asks "What jus' happened?"

Applebloom spoke "Ya startled me right after I got wings!"

Applejack spoke "So, ya'll are wonderin' how Ah got mah mark."

Applebloom spoke "Darn tootin’!"



Applejack spoke "Ah knew right then and there that mah place was at Sweet Apple Acres all along. If Ah hadn't seen that rainbow that pointed me back home, Ah would've remained in Manehatten."

Applebloom spoke "Wow!"

Crosswind spoke "AJ! We got some pesky rabbits tryin ta take the apples!"

Applejack growled before she ran off.

Carrying Apple Brandy on her back, Pear spoke "Hey kids."

Applebloom spoke "Hey, ma. Hey, Brandy."

Apple Brandy chirps.

Pear asks "You want to know how I got my cutie mark?"

Applebloom excitedly gasps "Yes!"

Pear spoke "When Ah was around yer age, the Apple and Pear families didn' exactly see eye to eye since they were neighboring farmers... But Bright Mac and I were the only two that didn' care 'bout the feud. My pa and Bright's ma hated each other...Ah had gotten curious about the jars of pear butter that my ma had made so Ah asked her if Ah could help her and she said sure. Next thing Ah knew, Ah had the image of a pear butter jar on mah flanks. As time went on, Ah had helped Chiffon Swirl figure out what she wanted ta do in life. Though she goes by Cup Cake now."

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were in awe at that.

Pear spoke "Now run along children, Ah've got work ta do."

Soon, we arrived at Fluttershy's place.

Flowerstep spoke "Sorry kids but Fluttershy's not feeling well but I can talk about how she got her cutie mark."



Flowerstep spoke "If that loud noise hadn't scared all those animals, she wouldn't have been able to communicate with the animals."

Sweetie Belle spoke "Wow..."

I spoke "Amazing."

Heatwave asks "Where next?"

We went to Rarity's, only for find myself and the girls being dressed by Rarity, who had a bit of a baby bump.

Sweetie Belle had a big grin on her face.

Sweetie asks "Say sis, how did you get your cutie mark?"

Rarity spoke "Well..."



Blizzardstar spoke "Rarity, you should take it easy for a while. You do have a ponykat foal on the way."

Rarity spoke "Oh nonsense. I'm fine, Blizzy, darling."

Applebloom asks "Wait a minute! Didn't somethin' seem off about Applejack?"

Heatwave spoke "Fluttershy too..."

Scootaloo asks "Think something may be strange with Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Spottedleaf and Pinkie too?"

Nightshade spoke "Twilight and Rainbow already had their children though yet Twilight's still the same height as Big Mac."

Sweetie Belle spoke "But that size spell should've worn off."

Nightshade spoke "It did but it had permanently altered Twilight's body height."

Applebloom asks "So what? Twilight and Flash are the same height now?"

I spoke "Actually... Twilight is the same height as her brother is. Oh, hey Twilight. We were just talking about you!"

Nightshade asks "Say Twilight, how did you get your cutie mark?"

Twilight spoke "It all started ten years ago and..."



Twilight spoke "In an uncontrolled surge of magic, I had inadvertently dragged Spottedleaf's fading soul out of her world and into this world. Since she's basically dead in her old world, she can't go back."

Needless to say, we were shocked at that as Spottedleaf showed up.

Twilight spoke "Hey Leaf."

Spottedleaf spoke "I was hearing something about cutie marks."

The Crusaders and I hightail it.

Twilight spoke "Now I remember how you ended up in Canterlot. It was my fault."

Spottedleaf spoke "No, you gave me another chance at life."

Twilight spoke "But at the cost of never being able to go back to your old world."

Spottedleaf spoke "Chill out Twilight, I can't go back to my old world anyway. I'm dead in that world."

Frostleaf showed up.

Spottedleaf giggles "Besides, if it hadn't been for you, I would've never found love and my Frosty."

Spotted and Frost kissed each other on the lips.


*Meanwhile*


I spoke "Oh hey Pinkie."

Pinkie asks "Hey guys! Wanna go to Sugarcube Corner?"

I ask "Say Pinkie, how did you get your cutie mark?"

Pinkie spoke "It's a real doozie!"



Pinkie spoke "And that's how Equestria was made!"

I groan "Pinkie, you are so random..."


*After arriving at Sugarcube Corner,"


I spoke "Finally, we can hear Rainbow's story."

Rainbow spoke "So, I heard that you're wanting to hear about how I got my cutie mark."



Rainbow spoke "And that little ones, is how you earn a cutie mark."

Spottedleaf burst in. “Wait a minute!”

Twilight asks "Yeah Spotty?"

Spottedleaf spoke "I think I saw that Rainboom in my past life!"

Yellowfang spoke "Ah think a lot a cats saw it Spottedleaf but they just ignored it."

Spottedleaf spoke "But that’s just it! It must’ve been what brought me back and here!"

Twilight spoke "That Rainboom spooked me enough to jumpstart my magic... Which in turn resurrected Spotted into a new body meant for this world."

Fluttershy spoke "But that if that Rainboom never happened, I wouldn’t have been able to communicate with the animals!"

Yellowfang spoke "Pinkie wouldn't have left her farm, Applejack would've remained in Manehatten, Rarity wouldn't be the awesome fashionista she is now, Twilight would've failed her exam thus Spike wouldn't have been hatched and Spottedleaf wouldn't have been reincarnated. Think about it Dash, yer Rainboom was what connected you six ponies and Spottedleaf together. It's like you were friends long before you even knew it."

Rainbow spoke "Huh, I never knew that."

But then Spottedleaf, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity hugged Rainbow Dash all at once.

I had three of the Crusaders in a hug as well despite Scootaloo's protest.
