‘Well there it is’ she told herself.
She put head down and made across the school field. She passed by a few other fillies and tried her best not to be noticed, especially not as the new filly. When she walked by she noticed the other fillies that must be in the same class. She saw two unicorn colts playing tag when one of them ran into a tree. She also saw a red haired filly playing hopscotch, and three fillies, a unicorn, a Pegasus and an earth pony running around like crazy ponies.
Pixie Dust was able to quietly make her way into the schoolhouse, just narrowly missing being ran into by one of the unicorn colts.
“Good morning my little ponies, today we are going to learn about pony weather, but first I take it some of you may have noticed a new face in our class. Every pony please say hello to miss Pixie Dust, she’s here from Cloudsdale.” The teacher said.
The class did its best to welcome the new student by asynchronously shouting ‘hi’ to the new filly, their warmest welcome, when Pixie noticed a white unicorn filly staring at her, then at her flank, then back at her. She turned to her friends and giggled something Pixie couldn’t make out.
‘I just hope these ponies don’t make fun of me for my blank flank. I just want this day to end.’ Pixie thought to herself.
After a day of learning about how the pegasi make weather in Cloudsdale, which was surprisingly boring to the filly Pegasus herself, as she had learned about that a hundred times over at her old school, she made her way out the schoolhouse and way quickly stopped by the white unicorn who ran to catch up with her.
“Hi, I’m Sweetie Belle and you must be Pixie Dust.” The unicorn was so happy she was nearly bouncing.
“Oh hi.” said Pixie Dust reluctantly.
“I couldn’t help but notice you don’t have your cutie mark.” Sweetie Belle cheerfully announced.
“Oh right well about that.”
“That’s great, well what I mean is none of us have our cutie marks either.” Sweetie Belle turned to show Pixie Dust her own blank flank.
Pixie Dust noticed that Sweetie Belle in fact didn’t have a cutie mark and thought maybe she wouldn’t make fun of her. “Oh, I guess you don’t. But what do you mean ‘none of us’?”
Just then two other filly’s came up behind Sweetie Belle.
“Sweetie Belle we told ya not ta sneak up on her, and that you’d scare her.” Said the yellow earth pony.
“Sorry girls, but look I told you, she doesn’t have her cutie mark either.” Sweetie Belle announced to her friends.
“Wow, well would ya look at that. Say how’d you like to join our club, seeing as you don’t have yer cutie mark neither.” The yellow filly asked.
“Well I uhm..” Pixie Dust was afraid these fillies might be setting up a prank to pull on her, and then she saw an orange filly who also had wings and no cutie mark. “You’re a Pegasus?” Said Pixie Dust, this was the first time she’d actually been excited all day.
“Yep sure am, and as soon as I learn to get off the ground I’m gonna be a great flyer, might even get my cutie mark in flying. Name’s Scootaloo and that’s Applebloom.” Scootaloo announced.
“Yea an together we form th”
“THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” Sweetie Belle gladly interrupted.
