The Cutie Mark Crisis

Hospitality and Hospitals

"I welcome you all to the first meeting of the Cutie Marked!" Sweetie Belle said ecstatically.

"Now that role call is done lets discuss our first topic, helping each other show off our amazing talents," Babs Seed said.

"I have a good idea for you to show off your talent Apple Bloom!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

"What's that?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Well, I was thinking that we could set up a stand in the Ponyville market place and you could sell all your apple treats there," Sweetie Belle said.

"That's a great idea!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

"I have and idea for Sweetie Belle," Babs Seed announced.

"What are you waiting for? Lets hear it!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

"We could put on a concert at school," Babs said.

"No! I hate singing in front of ponies," Sweetie Belle said nervously.

"Come on Sweetie Belle, it's your special talent, you'll do great!" Apple Bloom said, trying to cheer Sweetie Belle up.

"You make a good point," Sweetie Belle said, still pondering the idea.

"Come on," Babs pleaded.

"Hmm, alright," Sweetie Belle agreed with a sheepish smile.

"Yes!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

The three ponies went on, sharing ideas and laughing. They were about to be put to the ultimate test of hospitality and kinds, though they didn't know it yet. There was a small knock on the door.

"Come in," Sweetie Belle said.

When the Cutie Marked club saw who walked in the foot they went silent.

"Sliver Spoon!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

Silver Spoon nodded shyly. She was afraid the three ponies wouldn't be very welcoming after how she and Diamond Tiara had treated them.

"Hey, if you came back here to make fun of my friends..." Babs threatened.

"No, no, it's not like that," Silver Spoon said.

"Then why are you here?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Diamond Tiara kicked me out of the group," Silver Spoon said sadly.

"What do you want us to do about it?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Maybe we could... Be friends?" Silver Spoon said, a questioning tone creeping into her voice.

"Why should we be friends with you?" Babs asked.

"Because Diamond Tiara made me act so mean to you, I always felt guilty about it," Silver Spoon pleaded.

"We forgive you," Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle said in unison.

"You do? Thank you so much!" Silver Spoon exclaimed.

"Well, I don't, good thing I'm going back to Manehatten in two weeks," Babs said coldly.

Silver Spoon gave a sad and pleading look to Babs.

"I guess we can be friends for now," Babs said softly.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Silver Spoon exclaimed.

"I have your results!" Rainbow Dash announced. "Uhh, Scoot, are you ok?"

Scootaloo laid sprawled out on the ground, panting heavily and shaking.

"Uhh, Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash asked.

The little pegasus filly did not respond.

'Twilight will know what's wrong!' Rainbow Dash thought.

"Be back in a dash," Rainbow Dash muttered to Scootaloo as she flew off to Twilights house. When she got there all Rainbow Dash managed to say between pants was, "Scootaloo... Something wrong... At the park... Hurry."

Rainbow Dash flew off and Twilight captured her in an aura of purple magic, teleporting both of them to the park. The two friends found Scootaloo in the same state Rainbow Dash had left her.

"Twilight, what's wrong with her?" Rainbow Dash asked, in a panic.

"I don't know, you better just take her to the hospital," Twilight said calmly.

"Ok," Rainbow Dash said quickly, and with that she had the pegasus filly in her arms and was flying off towards the hospital.
