The cheers of the audience were deafening. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon angrily stormed to the crowed, but Peppermint Twist congratulated the winners before joining the other two. Cheerilee came up to them and also congratulated them on their performance. She then told them to go to the front of the town hall for the trophy.
The citizens of Ponyville cheered as the Cutie Mark Crusaders stood on stage. They waited patiently for the trophy. Scootaloo made several different poses as the audience captured pictures of them.
Mayor Mare finally gave an announcement, “Ladies and Gentle Colts, this has been a long yet exciting day for Ponyville! Foals of various ages competed in the Cutie Cup, but now this competition draws to an end. During the competition, we saw ponies who showed hard work, determination, and team work. This has been the most exciting Cutie Cup Ponyville had in a long time! Now it's time to name the winners!
“The winners of the 45th Ponyville Cutie Cup are the Cutie Mark Crusaders! They conquered the challenges of every course and made it here! They rightfully deserve to be awarded the Cutie Cup trophy!” The crowed cheered as two unicorns levitated a large trophy to the Crusaders. Their grins widened as the trophy got closer.
The crowed died down as ponies left, but the Crusaders stayed. They had another problem on their hooves. They couldn't decide who was going to keep the trophy. Applejack kept the trophy from when Applejack, Rarity, and Derpy won, so they were stuck between Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They had a short argument, but Apple Bloom suggested the Cutie Mark Crusader Club House, and they agreed on it.
They carried their trophy to the club house and put it in a glass case. They wanted to win the Cutie Cup, but they were surprised that they actually succeeded. They decided to lay down on the hard wooden floor out of exhaustion.
Their rest was cut short with a knock on their door. Sweetie Belle used her magic to open it, and standing at the door were Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity. Sweetie Belle quickly jumped and hugged Rarity. Apple Bloom's energy was suddenly restored, and she jumped in circles around Applejack. Scootaloo asked Rainbow Dash if she was proud, and she confirmed it. All of them were proud.
