The next few months were filled with surprises.
The first surprise came when the Cutie Mark Crusaders went Ice sculpting, their antics made the ice sculptures topple like Dominoes and with Scootaloo’s acrobatics and Apple Bloom’s building abilities, they were able to avert the disaster and get their cutie marks at long last. Apple Bloom got a hammer and a paintbrush cutie mark while Scootaloo got a cloud with a purple twister coming out of it, Scootaloo especially loved how similar it was to Rainbow Dash’s.
The next surprise came two days later when Diamond Tiara recovered from her run in with the shovel, apparently her meanness gland in her brain's emotional core was dangerously swollen and it was in danger of bursting and fatally damaging Diamond Tiara’s brain, the doctors and even Filthy Rich of all ponies commended Scootaloo for hitting her with a shovel because if her head wasn’t examined, they would have never have found the problem and she would have certainly died. With the operation a success, Diamond Tiara’s meanness gland was replaced with a much smaller and a much more stable meanness gland. She isn’t nearly as cruel as before, not nice per se but all around more pleasant and even a little bit happier as well, although her smile is a little bit messed up, considering how all her missing teeth were replaced by gold prosthetics.
Silver Spoon came up the day after Diamond Tiara’s recovery and gave Sweetie Belle a big hug, thanks to her blowing up in Silver Spoon’s face, she finally managed to confront her embarrassment of her special talent and she even managed to find a way to take pride in her ability to set tables, and she can even use her ability to set up a nice dinner for her new friends, and Sweetie Belle was shocked, because it was a pretty damn well set table they sat at.
Scootaloo had the aforementioned growth spurt in her wings a couple of weeks later and she is making great strides in her flying practice, she can now get herself off the ground and she can fly pretty well now and almost as fast as Rainbow Dash… landing gracefully without tripping and falling on her face? She’s still working on that…
Sweetie Belle got her cutie mark several days after the crusaders went ice sculpting, the fear of getting caught for murder made her own fears seem so inconsequential and so she finally faced her stage fright and sang for the winter festival’s contest and after her encore performance following the award ceremony, she found a brand new cutie mark of a silver bell wrapped in ribbons waiting for her.
Granny Smith would get hit by shovels 17 more times and 12 out of those 17 hits didn’t even make her flinch. She would be a stubborn old mule and she lived for so long that even Apple Bloom herself was old and ancient before she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
Spike made a vow never to use his fire to get rid of hedges outside of Twilight’s castle ever again, and to leave strange bushes alone, the downside is that he now has a crippling fear of scorpions but he was already afraid of them to begin with so it wasn’t a big loss.
Octavia never did find out what a Decepticon was, and frankly she didn’t want to know.
Vinyl Scratch’s overdose gave her the push she needed to finally quit smoking weed as she was apparently doing it long before the incident, she cleaned up, found the Creator and is now a pastor at Ponyville Church on top of her DJ job. She now makes religious hymns, which are performed using sick beats and her trademark wubs.
Lyra and Bonbon had nothing to do with this story and they wanted to stop by and tell everyone reading this that they said hi.
Derpy Hooves has overthrown Queen Chrysalis and is now the ruler of all Changelings, they have found out that muffins are much more sustaining than love and they have provided great business to Sugarcube Corner.
Using the money gathered up from the Changelings, Pinkie Pie and the Cakes were able to make some much needed renovations to Sugarcube Corner, and they finally got a lock for their freezer because they don’t want any more murderous fillies hiding bodies in their establishment. Pinkie Pie has since given up trying to convince the Cakes that Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle aren’t vicious killers.
Twilight Sparkle got herself a new radio and is a huge fan of GLOO, she listens to death metal through her headset in the middle of the night when she thinks that Spike is sleeping but if you asked her she would deny it like there’s no tomorrow.
Rarity started a lucrative deal with Ponyville’s insane asylum when she managed to make the world’s first designer straightjacket. She’s now making a killing selling her wares to prisons everywhere.
Apple Jack found a new medication that Granny Smith can take to stay awake, and it even comes in a pill form rather than liquid and even though Granny Smith still hates it, by crushing it up, Apple Jack can find lots of ways to trick Granny Smith into ingesting her medicine, and this time she can do it without Granny Smith even noticing which leads to no complaints and less headaches.
Apple Bloom met a small colt named Bucky at the Hearth’s Warming Eve party and they shared a kiss under the mistletoe, they went steady for a while and 12 years later they are now engaged to be married.
Discord eventually started Equestria’s hottest new game show. “The Thirst Games” where ponies are thrown into the desert and engage in a 75 mile hoofrace to get to the oasis first with some humorously diabolical traps set by the draconequus along the way to make the game interesting, it’s got some amazing ratings… and some amazing lawsuits.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna discontinued the use of the Spell of Ultimate Punishment when they heard about Scootaloo’s and Sweetie Belle’s story through their letter and so now they punish murderers by forcing them to be contestants in Discord’s dangerous game show.
Maud Pie’s shovel was found by her sister and returned to her intact, she can finally use it to dig for rocks again. She was very upset about scraping the dried blood stains off of it though, sometimes she like everypony else wonders what is going through Pinkie Pie’s head.
Thanks to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle’s helpful advice, Trixie finally sought therapy for the incident that happened 12 years ago. Now with a new sense of purpose, she goes around performing magic and giving helpful life lessons to troubled foals who need a voice to listen to them and a guiding hoof to get them through their pain.
SlicingShulk is still pretty damn stoked about the upcoming release of the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles X, that game looks amazing.
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash will return in Star Wars Episode 8 where they make a hilarious cameo.
The End (For real this time)
