Dear Apple Bloom,
This might be the end of the Cutie Mark Crusaders in Manehattan. One day during recess, Roller, Rocky and I were planning our next crusade, when a teacher came and took us to the principal’s office. I didn’t think we did anything wrong, but there we were in front of the principal, our teacher and some cop pony. None of them looked very happy.
The principal finally spoke, saying how disappointed he was with us. I was confused. Why would he be disappointed with us? The cop then said something about gangs, how dangerous they were, and that young fillies and colts should stay away from them.
I asked what in Equestria they were talking about, and our teacher said that she’s noticed the three of us together in secret, discussing things about a gang. I finally understood that they were talking about the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I tried to tell them that we weren’t in a gang. They wouldn’t listen to me. I guess I shouted and screamed, because then we were sent home. Apparently we’re suspended from school now.
This whole thing made me mad! When my parents picked me up, they didn’t look happy either. They wanted to know why I was in a gang. I told them that I wasn’t, and that the Cutie Mark Crusaders wasn’t a gang! It was group or club that helped young fillies and colts get their cutie marks. I even think I was crying at this point too.
Thankfully, my parents believed me. They told me not to worry, and that they would go and talk with the principal and the school board about everything. I don’t know how a piece of wood at school is going to help, but at least they can get it through the principal’s thick head that we’re not a gang!
I don’t know what’s going to happen now. We might never get our cutie marks!
Your cousin,
Babs
