Twilight laid down on her bed sighing. It had been a long day. She and Spike had organized the library again. The CMC had tried to be librarians for the second time. It had resulted in the same way as last time. The library was a mess and the Cutie Mark Crusaders didn't get their cutie marks. After a few minutes Twilight was asleep and Spike was snoring. The door to the library creaked open and the three fillies snuck in. One had a yellow coat a red mane and a ruby bow. Another was a white unicorn with a pink mane. The last was a Pegasus with an orange coat with a magenta mane.
"What are we looking for again?" Asked Scootaloo.
"A golden book on transformation." Replied Sweetie Belle. After a few minutes of searching someone said something.
"Over here!" Called Applebloom a bit too loudly.
"Shhh!" Shushed the Pegasus and unicorn. They went over to Applebloom and opened the book. After many pages turned the trio found what they were looking for. The unicorn lit up her horn and cast a spell. After some bright flashes and cool noises the three crusaders found themselves asleep in the library along with Twilight and Spike.

"Ugh" Groaned Scootaloo as she slowly pushed himself into a sitting position. She glanced over to the pony laying next to her. The mare looked familiar. She had a white coat with a long pink mane and tail. A unicorn horn poked out of her head. "Sweetie Belle?" Asked Scootaloo.
The pony presumed to be Sweetie Belle woke up. She was surprised to see an unfamiliar mare next to her. A magenta mane was laid next to two fully developed wings. The pony's body was that of an athlete. It was orange like that of her friend. "Scootaloo?" Asked the white unicorn.
Over in a corner a yellow earth pony awoke. She had a dark red mane also. "Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo?"
"Applebloom?" Came the two shocked replies. Sweetie Belle was the first to recover from their stare session. "Yes! It worked!" The other crusaders stopped gawking at each other soon after and all three promptly checked their flanks. Still blank.
Applebloom trotted over to the book used to transform them from a filly to a mare. "Ahh. Ya see here. It says it will not provide you with a cutie mark during the transformation."
Sweetie Belle pulled the heavy book over to her and attempted to redo the spell. All that happened was a couple sparks that came out of her horn. All that came out of the CMC was an "Uh Oh." This happened for two reasons. One: They were probably stuck as full grown mares with no cutie mark for a week or so. Two: The stairs were creaking from either Spike or Twilight coming downstairs to find that there were three mares in the library that no one has ever seen before.
