   On a bright Monday morning, The Cutie Mark Crusaders (or the CMC for short) were walking to school with smiles on their faces.  The reason they were smiling was because they finally earned their cutie marks.  Applebloom's talent was carpentry.  She earned it after fixing the barn after a huge storm destoryed it.  Her cutie mark was a hammer with an apple in front of it.  Scootaloo's talent was doing tricks on her scooter.  She earned it after winning a scooter race during the weekend.  It was the same weekend that finally she learned how to fly.  Her cutie mark was a wheel with an engine and smoke coming out.  Sweetie Belle's talent was singing.  She earned it after performing with The Pony Tones.  Her cutie mark was a pink heart with a music note in it.

"Ok girls, you remember the plan right?", asked AB

"Yup…Wait what was the plan again?", asked Sweetie Belle

Apple Bloom sighed and Scootaloo facehooved.

"We go to school, show off our cutie marks, everypony will be impressed, then Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon will never make fun of us again",explained Scootaloo

"That makes sence", replied Sweetie Belle "But this isn't gonna be like that whole Twilight Time fiasco is it?"

"Hopefully not", replied AB

They made it to the school house and saw a bunch of foals looking at the wall.

"HEY EVERYPONY CHECK IT OUT", yelled AB

The CMC showed their flanks.  Everypony looked at them for a couple seconds and turned back to the wall unimpressed.

"Hey, what gives?", asked Scootaloo

Suddenly, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked by and shoved The CMC.

"OUT OF THE WAY BLANK FLANKS", yelled Diamond Tiara

"Actually Diamond, you can't call us that anymore", explained AB

"and why is that?", asked DT

"Because we have these", explained Sweetie Belle

The CMC showed them their cutie marks and DT and SS have their mouths open.

"Wow, they're right Diamond", said Silver Spoon "We can't make fun of them"

"YES", cheered the CMC

"By the way, who are your dates?", asked DT

The CMC looked at eachother in confusion.

"Dates to what?", asked Scootaloo

"OMG Diamond they don't know", said Silver

"Know what?", asked Sweetie Belle

"Come with us", ordered Diamond

Diamond, Silver, and the CMC pushed through the crowd that was looking at the wall.  On the wall was a poster that said "Ponyville Hearts and Hooves Day School Dance".

"Ponyville Hearts and Hooves Day School Dance?", asked AB

"Yup, I'm going with Lickity Split", explained Diamond "The coolest and hottest colt in school"

"And Im going with Pipsqueak", explained Silver "So, who are you three going with?"

"We don't have dates", explained Sweetie Belle

"OMG, you don't have dates?", asked Diamond

"Your such lozers", added Silver

The school bell rang.  And Cheerilee walked out to the yard.

"C'mon everypony time for school", called Cheerilee

"LATER LOZERS", yelled Diamond and Silver walking in the school

"Great, now they do have a reason to make fun of us", said Scootaloo looking down with the rest of the crusaders
