A small greyish purple unicorn filly watched the Cutiemark Crusaders newest escapade to get their cutiemarks. Her golden eyes lied on the three fillies. It was fun at first but overtime it got really boring to see them fail and fail again. So Dinky Hooves decided that it was time to talk with them about their stupidity.

"Uhm Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo... If you are so desperate for your cutiemarks. Why don´t you just get one?" The fillies looked at her like she said something stupid. 

The yellow farm pony talked to her: "That´s what we are trying." 

Dinky Hooves laughed at them, but in a generous, knowing manner: "But your doing it wrong. If you want to have cutiemarks come to my house at six o´clock. Mommy will get you one in no time." The fillies looked at each others. Could that really be? Was there a method to just get a cutiemark?



The small house close to Sugarcube Corner, they had been around here many times but never bothered to look at it twice. Now they were inside and even here nothing was out of the ordinary. Here they are suppose to get their cutiemarks? Scootaloo was lying on the couch, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom sat on the stairs. Dinky levitated a plate with muffins on the table. "Sorry, mom seems to have work late today." 

Scootaloo devoured a muffin before she ask: "How is that suppose to work any way?"

Applebloom commented on it as well: "Ya? Even Twilight said there is no way to make a cutiemark appears before its time." 

Sweetie Belle  questioned even further: "Isn´t your mother a pegasus? How is she going to do it without magic?" 

Dinky looked annoyed at them. "Oh Princess Twilight don´t know so there is no way my mother could know a method. Twilight knows everything under the sun that´s why she keep studing... because she already knows everything."  

"Calm down, Dinky. Ah was just wondering..."  

"Sorry, I am just sick that everypony underestimates my mother."



The door opens and a walled eyed grey pegasus entered the living room of her own house. Greeted by four fillies. "Is it true? You made your own cutiemark?" 

The three strange fillies asked in unisono as her daughter had a big smile on her face. The mare put down her saddleback. "I would not say I made it, but..."

Derpy Hooves stand at a pond in the Everfree Forest. The moonlight shines on the water, it began to boil and change it color every second and every wave. 

"If you want a cutiemark do as I told you." The cutiemark crusader looked at each others uncertain about this. After some moments Applebloom dived into the pond. The water was boiling but cold as ice. As she touched the ground of the pond she screamed as strong as she could. 

Bubbles hit the surface and soon after Applebloom came out of the water. On her wet flank was a cutiemark. five bubbles. Sweetie Belle was next. Four bubbles. Scootaloo was last. Three bubbles. 

"How about you Dinky", Derpy asked, "you want your cutiemark as well?" 

"No I like my blankflank."
