//------------------------------// // Cutie Marks and a princess // Story: Orphaned.. lost and found! // by twilightsprkl8 //------------------------------// When I woke up I went to Twilight's Tree but she wasn't there neither was Spike, just a burn on the wooded floor. Where could they be? When I found out I was alone. I went to go to Sweet Apple Acres to meet Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. While I was riding through the town every pony was staring at me. I ignored them and just kept riding. When I got to Sweet Apple Acres, my friends weren't out in the orchard so I asked Granny Smith where they were. She told me Apple Bloom went out to the club house early this morning. Before I walked away Granny Smith stopped me. "Woa Filly. What is your talent?" "I don't know yet Granny Smith that's why I'm a crusader." "Then you might want to look at your flank." "What? A cutie mark! Yes! I got to go, Thanks granny smith!" I rode to the clubhouse on my scooter I didn't get that great of a look but I had to show it to the other crusaders. I wonder if they're still crusaders. When I got to the club house it was only Apple Bloom there, she was standing there at the door smiling at me. So we were there face to face. "Um. Where's Sweetie Belle?" "I don't know! But look at this!" Apple Bloom faced her side toward me and bucked. There was cutie mark! It was an apple tree sapling! "Oh my! look I got one too!" I turned to show her mine. "Whoa, what's it supposed to be?" We both were looking directly at it. "I see a scooter. But what did you do to get it? I cant tell what the rainbow colored thing is supposed to be." "I didn't do anything, I woke up with it!" "You dreamt it! What was your dream about." "Well, Rainbow Dash was helping me learn new tricks. She taught me how to do a sonic rain boom. I landed on my scooter then rode away." "That means you can perform a sonic rain boom! You have to get Rainbow Dashes help! She's the only other pony who can do it!" "Speaking of Rainbow Dash, I saw her again last night after my dream. I don't know if it was a dream though. Her, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were all standing around Twilight who was changing into and alicorn. Was Applejack here last night?" "No, she wasn't hear all day. For some reason Pinkie Pie was here doing Applejack's job. Pinkie Pie couldn't plant the trees so I helped her and got this!" Applejack showed her cutie mark once again. "Maybe what I was seeing wasn't a dream after all!" Sweetie Belle came after this and heard something about a dream then saw the other two Ponyville crusaders flanks. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! We all got our cutie marks!" Sweetie Belle turned to show us her cutie mark. It was music notes. "We always knew you were a mighty good singer!" Sweetie Belle smiled and then asked one more question. "What's this about a dream?" Apple Bloom and I told Sweetie Belle everything. How we got our cutie marks and me seeing Twilight form into an alicorn, even the checkered sky. Sweetie Belle was confused. After she heard Pinkie Pie was doing Applejack's work she told them that when she went downstairs yesterday morning and Applejack was there making dresses. "So where are they now?" "I don't know, Rarity didn't come home last night." "Yeah, neither did Applejack." "And when I went to the library this morning, Twilight and Spike were gone too, there was only a burn on the floor." The foals sat on the floor, confused. All of a sudden a flash appeared. It was Twilight and four other ponies. The foals all ran down to meet them. "Look Applejack I got my cutie Mark!" "Look at this Rarity!" The ponies showed off there cutie marks "Twilight, Where is Rainbow Dash?" "She's still in Canterlot." The foals looked at the ponies, puzzled "Canterlot?" "Yes, That's why none of us were home this morning or last night." Twilight explained to them everything that happened the past day and showed the fillies her new wings. "Whoa, Twilight. You're a princess!" "Yes, but please don't treat me any differently." "Don't worry we wont." Rainbow Dash flew in and right away saw the fillies cutie marks. Scootaloo ran up to Rainbow Dash as she lifted her wing to hug Scootaloo. "Rainbow Dash! My mark has a sonic rain boom!" Scootaloo told everyone of her dream and asked Rainbow Dash to help her learn to perform a sonic rain boom, which they'd begin working on the next day. "Also we have a note it's from Celestia." Twilight held up the scroll and began to read it aloud. "Princess Twilight Sparkle will now be a mentor of Scootaloo from Cloudsdale." "Mentor?" Twilight explained to Scootaloo what a mentor does. "Also, there are two pony who will be coming later today. Meet me in the orchard in about an hour, Rainbow Dash and I have to pick them up. Your friends can come if they'd like!" The three fillies were so excited, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom had no idea who it could be but Scootaloo had an idea. * * * An hour later, The fillies were running to meet Twilight in the orchard. Scootaloo knew who it would be but she was not looking forward to it. Once the fillies arrived they saw two pegasi standing in the orchard. Rainbow Dash and Twilight were on the outside of them each. Scootaloo missed her parents so much. She ran up to her mother and father who held her closely and then backed up after her dad had cleared his throat. "Scootaloo, we know we said we wanted you back in Cloudsdale once you got a cutie mark. But, this cutie mark was worth the wait it has much more meaning then we expected and we want you to stay in Ponyville with Rainbow Dash and Twilight. You will leave your cottage though, because your mother and I found a cloud for us and your sister to live on. While we are here, Rainbow Dash agreed to teaching you all about flying. and sonic rain booms." "Scootaloo's sister came out from behind her dad and hugged Scootaloo" The three pegasi flew off to the new cloud, and Rainbow Dash agreed to take her back later. Twilight went back to her tree and Rainbow Dash stuck around talking to Applejack. Scootaloo told the other two crusaders everything, including why she was in Ponyville and that she was staying with Twilight the entire time.
