Her not yet discovered special talent shall be writing. The first few paragraphs are from "The End Of The Crusaders" and completely juter4397's work and are just here to connect my story to his/hers. Below is the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7735884/1/ "Yeah. It was. But if everypony else thinks that what we do is a joke, then maybe we should just end it. Forever." says Scootaloo, who then gets up, grabs some rope off of the table, and shows it to the others. "If everypony else thinks that our way of life is a joke, then maybe they would be better off without us in theirs." The others look at her with wide eyes, but eventually agree with what she means, and they nod. After all, the Cutie Mark Crusaders always love to do things to the extreme. They get to work, preparing for their final attempt at something useful. Scootaloo manages to stack up some furniture to hang the ropes by on the ceiling, while Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom write a note explaining what has happened. When Scootaloo finishes, they all write a note to their respective sister figures. After much work, rigging up the ropes to hang from the ceiling without breaking, they climb up onto a bookshelf in the room, and prepare for the end. "Ready, girls?" Scootaloo told them. "Three... two... one..." "WAIT!" screamed a very scared and anxious voice from right outside the clubhouse. All eyes turned to the doorway to see a lavender earth filly about their age with a light blond mane in and bright yellow eyes. Her mane was in twin braids, her tail was braided and she had dark purple frame glasses over her yellow eyes. There were tears of sorrow and disbelief that could be seen through the glass. "Don't do this. Please, just take your necks out of those loops and climb down." she begged, fresh tears forming in her eyes. The three crusaders looked at each other for a moment before realizing this strange filly who had just barged in to their clubhouse was right. They removed the rope from their necks and climbed down. "Who are you and how did you find us?" Scootaloo asked out of curiosity. "I'm Angelica Daffodil Fields but everypony calls me Angel. I saw you run off stage. Something didn't seem right about it so I ran after you." the earth filly replied, "I really did enjoy your song, though." She then turned to the left revealing her blank flank. This stunned the other fillies. "You're... you're a blank flank, too?" questioned Apple Bloom who wasn't sure what to think of the lavender filly. Angel replied with no more than a nod. "I guess maybe we were being a little melodramatic." Sweetie Belle said with a nervous laugh. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo just looked at Sweetie Belle with confused looks. "What's melo whatever you said?" Scootaloo asked. "Melodramatic means overly dramatic." explained Angel. If her understanding of Sweetie Belle's immense vocabulary did not surprise the Cutie Mark Crusaders, her ability to define it did. No pony their age besides Twist ever knew what the words Sweetie Belle used meant. "How did you know what melodramatic meant?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Well, you see, I don't go to your school. I live close to Ponyville, not in Ponyville. I live in Neighperville and attend the school in Neighperville. I'm in the honors english class there so I know a lot of words." Angel explained, "I'm only here to visit my Aunt Pinkie Pie." Now that they thought of it, the Cutie Mark Crusaders never saw her at school before. There was an awkward silence that was too loud for anypony to stand without making a single sound. The silence was deafening, yet no pony dared to break it for several seconds. It was Apple Bloom who broke that unbearable silence. "So umm... Angel would you like to join the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Apple Bloom asked. "I'd like that very much, thank you." the lavender filly replied politely.  "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get this initiation started!" Scootaloo cheered. Soon, Angel was a member of the group. Things could not be better. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS BEST FRIENDS FOREVER YAY!" all four fillies cried in unison. There crusade before was to find there cutie marks by any means possible so they would stop getting picked on at school. Now it was to their special talent so they could do something with their life that they loved to do. The cutie mark was just an added bonus to them now.  And from that day forth they promised that they'd never think about doing that horrid task again. They had started their new crusade. The crusade for a more meaningful life. The crusade that would never ends. Author's Note: I know I'll get asked this so I'll answer it now. Yes, there is somepony in my life who has or had suicidal thoughts or actions recently. No, it is not me. Yes, that person is the reason I write a lot of sad stuff. On another note though does anypony think I should do a sequel to this?
