A couple years later, Christabelle is now eight years old. She was at school learning about cutie marks. She looked around and saw that a few of her friends have already earned their cutie marks. Tempest's cutie mark was a storm cloud. He got it after learning about his ability of making stormclouds. Trailblaze's cutie mark was a red, blue, and yellow lightning bolt that was wrapped around his leg. He got it after performing a sonjc rainboom, like his mom. Smart Cookie's cutie mark was a chocolate chip cookie with glasses. She earned it after getting straight A's on her report card. Love In The Mist's cutie mark is a pink heart surrounded by mist. She earned it after performing a complicated spell. Marshmellow Swirl's cutie mark is a mug of hot cocoa. He earned it after making candy with his mom. Dubstep's cutie mark is a record. He earned it after DJing at his birthday party. Gala's cutie mark is a green apple with a tree on top of it. She earned it after bucking apple tree's with her father. Time Warp's cutie mark is a twisted clock. He earned it by doing something that disrupts space and time. Storm Chaser's cutie mark is a black belt. He earned it after winning a black belt in a karate tournament. Ruby Necklace's cutie mark is a diamond necklace and Silken Glove's cutie mark is a white glove. The only three ponies who don't have their cutie marks are Belle, Johnagold, and Mystery.
"Class I have good news to share", announced Cheerilee "Anyone wanna guess what it is?"
Gala raised her hoof.
"Your having another baby", said Gala
"Gala, we were'nt suppose to tell everypony yet"
Everypony gasped.
"Yes, Im having another baby, but that's not the big news", said Cheerilee "The real big news is that were having a talent show this friday"
Everypony cheered.
"That's right. If you wanna sign up, the signup sheet is on the side of the building"
The bell rang, and all the foals ran out to sign up.
"Hey Mystery, wanna do the talent show with me?", asked Belle
"No thanks", replied Mystery "Im not really much of a performer"

"Of course she's not", said Ruby walking up to them
"Yeah, she has no talent", remarked Silk
"I'll have you know Silk, that she does have a talent", said Johnagold "She happens to be a great singer"
"Oh really?", said Ruby "Are you gonna sing at the talent show?"
"I…uh", stammered Belle
"She sure is", interupted John
"Ok, we can't wait to see you lose", remarked Ruby "Let's go Silk"
The two mean fillies walked away, and Belle glared at John.
"JOHN, WHAT THE HEY!", yelled Belle
"Sorry Christy", apoligized John "But your a great singer"
"How do you know?"
"You sometimes sing when you don't know it"
"And you don't even bother to tell me?!"
"I was suppose to?"
"UGH NEVERMIND! Let's just go to Sugarcube Corner with the rest of the guys"
Johnagold and Belle walked to Sugarcube Corner and had milkshakes with their friends.
"Hey Cookie, it's your lucky day. You get to share a milkshake with me", flirted Trailblaze
"In your dreams, Lover Boy", remarked Smart Cookie sipping her milkshake
"So, Belle are you doing the Talent Show?", asked Misty
"Unfortunately yes", replied Belle "Im singing in it"
"If you don't wanna do it then why are you signing up?", asked Marshmellow
"Well, John told Ruby Necklace and Silken Glove that was singing so I kinda have to"
"I said I was sorry", said John
"Does sorry make me quit the talent show"
"No"
"Then apology not accepted"
"Hey C-Belle, want me to give you sone sick beats for your act?", offered Dubstep
"No thanks, Dubs"
Later that night, Belle was having dinner with her family.
"Christabelle, you haven't touched your dinner. Are you ok?", asked Rarity
"No, Im not", replied Belle
"What's wrong?", asked Trend
"The school talent show is this Friday and I have to sing in it cause Johnagold told Ruby Necklace and Silken Glove that I was"
"Oh that's great", said Rarity
"No, it's not"
"Would it make you feel better if we invited Aunt Sweetiebelle and Uncle Button?"
"A little", mumbled Belle "May I be excused? I need to practice my singing for Friday"
"Go ahead", replied Trend
"Should we tell her now?", asked Trend
"Not yet", replied Rarity "We'll tell her after the Talent Show"
Belle practiced her singing everyday, until it was the night of the talent show. Everypony's parents were there. Over the years, they're families have grown. Rainbow Dash and Soarin had a filly named Spectrum Chaser. Spectrum is a light blue pegasus with a red, orange, and pink mane. Pinkie and Cheese had a pair of twin fillies named Ginger Pie and Cotton Candy. Ginger is a tan earth pony with an orange mane. Cotton is a pink earth pony with a light pink mane. Applejack and Caramel also had a pair of twin fillies named Apple Heart and Apple Sweets. Apple Heart is a cream earth pony with a reddish pink mane. Apple Sweets is a tan earth pony with a reddish pink mane. Derpy and Time Turner were had a filly named Muffin. Muffin is a tan earth pony with a blond mane. Scootaloo was with her husband Rumble. Applebloom was with her husband Pipsqueak. Sweetiebelle was with her husband Button Mash. When Belle got there, she saw Ruby and Silk in cheerleading outfits doing their routine. Belle was wearing a white dress with her mane up. When they finished everypony cheered.
"Give it up for Ruby Necklace and Silken Glove", said Cheerilee
"Top that blank flanks", said Ruby walking by
"Yeah, what she said", added Silk following her
"Up next, we have Johnagold Apple playing the guitar and singing", announced Cheerilee
Johnagold was about to walk on stage with a guitar on his back, but was stopped by Belle.
"Hey, break a leg"
"Thanks"
Johnagold walked on stage.
"This song is for somepony special", said John
"Somepony special?", thought Belle
He began playing and singing.
"You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you
Like everything that's green, girl, I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too
'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hoof forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted
Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
And I wanna show you what I see tonight...
When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips.
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hoof forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted
As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hoof forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted
You'll always be wanted"
When he was done, everypony cheered.
"Give it up for Johnagold, everypony", anounced Cheerilee
Johnagold walked backstage and Belle gave him a hug.
"You were great Johnny", complimented Belle "Who was it for?"
"Do you forgive me?"
"No"
"Then Im not telling you"
"WHAT?! C'mon"
"Nope"
"Fine, then I guess Im not telling you about your cutie mark"
"Cutie mark?"
"DANG IT"
Johnagold looked at his flank and saw a guitar with a golden apple behind it.
"I guess playing the guitar is my talent", said John
"Now that I told you about your cutie mark, can you tell me now?"
"Nope"
"JOHNAGOLD"
"Up next is Christabelle singing", announced Cheerilee
"If you perform I'll tell you"
"Deal"
Belle was about to go on stage, but was stopped by Ruby and Silk
"Break a leg", said Ruby
"Thanks"
"No really, break a leg", remarked Silk
The two fillies laughed as Belle walked onstage. She stood there nervous, but then she felt confident.
"This song is to a special somepony", said Belle
"Special somepony?", thought John "She must mean Time Warp"
As soon as music started playing Belle started singing.
"I tasted my salty tears, when you gave me my very first kiss
It was just like a drama that I had seen, the starting bell tore us apart it must've been written in the script
A chilly wind grazzed along my cheek, I breathed out and rubbed my hooves together, in order to warm them up
The brilliant illuminations decorating the bare trees made the streets look like a wonderland
How could I tell you this feeling? I swallowed my words, it was best to leave them unsaid
Don't think that I am stupid, it's a promise made between me and myself
No more looking back though it hurts
Thank you very much, goodbye
my heart-breaking one-sided love, I'll just keep on moving on so that I can get over you
So please...
Let me say thank you and goodbye, though it's gonna make me cry,
When i tried not to burst into tears, a snowflake touched on my coat, it melted away and dissapeared
I make my way towards the station, and then I see a couple that appear so close.
"Hey look, it's snowing. So wonderful!"
I can't help but enve the seen, I hoped it was not to late, in my bag was a hand-knitted muffler
How could I give this present for you?
I'm just a coward, and I am just afraid.
Is it ok to let it go if it would be a memory?
I say to myself, "You're sure about that?"
Thank you very much goodbye
I should have been prepared for this
and made myself not to regret any of it
Why am I...
Saying just Thank you and Good bye?
How could I be so strong?
The train will soon arive but I don't want it to
I can't make myself understand why my heart hurts
I want you for my own
I wished for God, but still I'm all alone
Insecurity and emptiness
Oh why does it hurt this much just to say good bye?
You will have to go,
I know, I know
Don't be so kind that you make me cry again
Please let me go...
I will never forget you, I love you so much!
Thank you very much Goodbye
I can't say a word so please God, give me some courage
"Hey, wait... I..."
(Why am I...)
Then I realized that there was no distance between you and me
Can I cry just for now?
Words are no longer needed, Hold me tight and never let me go!
Never let me go...
Whats gonna happen to us this time next year, is never known but promise me to be who you want to be..."
When she finished singing everypony cheered.
"Give it up for Christabelle", said Cheerilee "Now it's time to announce the winners, so everypony please come onstage to bring out the awards."
Everypony walked onstage.
"The third place award goes to…Tempest and Trailblaze and their airshow", announced Cheerilee
The twins flew upstage to receive their award.
"The second place award goes to…Johnagold Apple and his guitar"
John walked upstage to receive his award.
"And the first place award goes to…Christabelle and her singing"
Christabelle cheered and ran upstage to receive her award. Then, she ran to Ruby and Silk.
"Check it out girls", said Belle showing off her trophy "I got first place, and you didn't even get third place"
"Whatever Blank Flank", scolded Ruby
"Actually Ruby", said Time Warp walking up to them "You can't call her that anymore, because she earned her cutie mark"
"She did?", asked Ruby and Silk in unison
"I did?", asked Belle
Belle lifted her dress and saw her cutie mark. It was a light pink heart with a golden bell with a magenta ribbon on it.
"I DID", cheered Belle hugging Time Warp "I DID GET MY CUTIE MARK! THANK YOU TIME WARP"
Belle ran off and found Johnagold.
"JOHN, JOHN GUESS WHAT", called Belle "I GOT MY CUTIE MARK"
"You didn't even let me guess", said John
"Who cares? I GOT MY CUTIE MARK"
"I knew singing was your talent"
"Yup, and since I got it. I automatically forgive you. And since, I performed, you have to tell me who your special somepony is"
"Sorry Christy, but I can't tell you"
"But…but, I performed"
"Ok, I'll tell you who my special somepony is if you tell me who yours is"
"I-IM NOT TELLING YOU"
"It's Time Warp isn't it?"
"WHAAAAT?! TIME WARP?! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT"
"Well, everytime your around him you blush a lot, and you talk about him a lot"
"Well, that's because he's cute. That doesn't mean that I like him like that"
"Look Christy-"
"No, you can't call me Christy anymore. You have to call me Belle like everypony else"
"Can I atleast call you Christa?"
"No. Only Mystery can call me that"
"Oh yeah, then who's gonna call you Christy?"
"I'll give that privillage to Time Warp"
"Ofcourse you would"
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?!"
"Nothing, look I'll seeya Monday"
John walked away and Belle's parents walked up to her.
"Belle, congratulations on winning", said Rarity
"Thanks", replied Belle depressed
"Look honey", said Trend "She got her cutie mark"
"I knew she was a musical prodigy like me", said Sweetiebelle
"Hey kid, what's wrong?", asked Button Mash
"Nothing, Im just tired. Let's go home", replied Belle
"Are you sure?", asked Trend "We were gonna go get ice cream afterwords"
"Im not in the mood for ice cream"
"Ok, but your mother and I have good news to tell you", said Trend
"What?"
"Your mother and I are having another foal"
