Twilight took a step back. "Woah, what's been going on here?"

"We've been making cupcakes, wanna try them?" Pinkie held up a tray of horribly burnt confections.

"No thank you... not that they don't look, eh, delicious."

Apple Bloom ran up in between the two of them. "Twilight, you have to help me!"

It sounded like something serious. "What's the matter?"

The little filly took a deep breath. "Tiara's cute-ceañera's today and everypony in my class will be there and they'll all have their cutie marks and I want to get my cutie mark but I'm no good at selling apples or hang-gliding or making cupcakes, but I wanna go to the party but how can I go to the party if I don't have my cutie mark, which Pinkie Pie says I can't just make appear, but I need it to appear, right now!"

Twilight stared at her, blinking. "Uh... I don't follow. How can I help you?"

"You can use your magic to make my cutie mark appear."

"Oh, right. Of course." Twilight shook her head. "Why didn't I think of that?" She called up her magic. Only time could make a cutie mark appear, but time was as malleable as anything else to magic. With a few modifications, an aging spell would do the trick. "Okay... hold on..."

A bright flash of light shot from Twilight's horn to Apple Bloom's flank. When it faded away, everypony could see the image of three apple flowers on the filly's flank.

"Oh my gosh! Yes! You did it, Twilight!" Apple Bloom bounced around the room uncontrollably, contributing to the mess.

Twilight grinned. "Of course... Now, how about you help Pinkie get this kitchen cleaned up a little before the party starts, okay?"

Apple Bloom looked around at the mess... but in this mood, nothing could get her down. "Okay!"
