It was a quiet day for the CMC as they began their first meeting since their recent re envisionment.
‘Okay, Cutie Mark Crusaders, this meeting is officially in session!’ declared Applebloom.
‘So, um, what do we do now?’ asked Scootaloo, playing with tin foil ball she found on her way.
‘Do we just wait here until the doorbell rings with a problem to solve?’ asked Sweetie Belle.
Applebloom considered it. What else could they do? And so they did just that- they waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, their wish was granted by a familiar ring of the doorbell
The three fillies raced for the door, only to be greeted on the other side by an unexpected guest.
‘Princess Luna?!’ they said in unison.
The deep blue alicorn giggled as she walked in. ‘Hello fillies! I do hope that I am not intruding on anything.’
‘Not at all!, replied Sweetie Belle, ‘Seriously.’
‘Well’, the Princess started, ‘I just wanted to congratulate you three on finally earning your cutie marks!’
The fillies proudly gleamed at the tattoo now on their flanks.
The Princess continued, ‘I am so very proud of you all. You have been through so much to earn them. Believe me, it will make a very interesting story to tell!’
Then, Sweetie Belle had an idea. ‘Princess Luna?’
‘Yes, Sweetie Belle?’
‘Can you tell us the story of how you got your cutie mark?’
Applebloom and Scootaloo nodded their heads in agreement.
Princess Luna considered it. She hadn’t told this story in a while, and it was a fairly appropriate time. She glances at her flank and nods her head, ‘All right, fillies. This is the story of how I got my cutie mark.’
