"Come on, Apple Bloom!" Applejack called out. "I know ya shoveled all the cow manure, but ya also gotta take care of the pony manure too! We need it to fertilize our crops. Just make a big pile over there near the compost section."
Apple Bloom grumbled some words of disapproval and began shoveling all the pony poo.
"I can't believe how stubborn she can be with this chore sometimes," Applejack said as she leaned against the fence.
"E-yup!" Big Macintosh replied. "But yer a pretty stubborn pony sometimes too. Ya remember what happened when I was injured during the applebuck season and I couldn't work. Ya thought that ya could harvest all of those apples without any pony's help."
"Aw, shoot, Big Macintosh! Well at least I was actually workin' hard in my stubbornness!" Applejack shot back. "It's almost like Apple Bloom doesn't even want to work right now. That ain't the Apple family way!"
"E-yup!" Big Macintosh said as he nodded his head yes. "She could use a good hard buck to the backside."
Apple Bloom swatted at the flies with her tail that were biting her. As soon as Apple Bloom shoveled a large pile of manure into the pile, bright rays of light shined from both sides of her flanks.
Applejack and Big Macintosh put one of their front legs over their eyes because of the brightness.
A few seconds later, they both opened their eyes.
"I did it! I did it!" Apple Bloom cried out. "I got my cutie mark in..." Apple Bloom cut her sentence short when she turned around and noticed that her cutie mark was a picture of a shovel with horse manure on top of it. On the picture, were three flies buzzing around the manure. She paused for a moment and said, "If there's ever a time in life that calls for suicide, I think now would be an appropriate time."
"Aw hay, Apple Bloom," Applejack said. "Ya may not have an apple fer a cutie mark, but yer still a part of our family and we should have a celebration party cause we know that yer gonna have a real shitty....I mean wonderful time in life. You'll be the best dern horse manure picker upper that Equestria has ever seen yet!"
"Wow! Really? Do you really mean that, Applejack? Will I be an important pony in life and make a huge difference in our world being the best pony at scooping up pony poo ever?" Apple Bloom asked.
Applejack laughed and said, "Nope! I'm just kiddin'. It's too bad ya didn't go with Fluttershy to try to earn a cutie mark in curlin', but I guess that wouldn't matter anyway since yer ultimate destiny in life is to shovel shit. I guess the moral of this story is, be careful what ya wish fer. Maybe Princess Celestia is trollin' ya or somethin', or maybe we can pray that Twilight Sparkle mixes up some other ponies cutie mark with yers. It looks like fer now you'll have to start diggin'! Who knows, maybe there's hope for a cutie mark change in the future. There's always Discord, right?" Applejack playfully winked at her little sister.
Apple Bloom sighed and began to shovel again. "Just wait until Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon find out about this," she muttered under her breath.
The end.
