//------------------------------// // Breakable as Bubbles // Story: Silly Pony Stories // by Highlord Langslock //------------------------------// “Hey Ditzy, since it’s the Cutie Mark Crusaders job to help other ponies figure out what their Cutie Marks mean now, would you like us to help you figure out what your Cutie Mark means?” asked Apple Bloom. “Now what makes you think that I don’t know what my Cutie Mark Means?” Ditzy Doo asked in return. “Well, you work as a mailmare, and you love muffins, yet your Cutie Mark is a bunch of bubbles,” explained Scootaloo. “Haven’t you ever wondered what those things have to do with each other?” Ditzy smiled. “Actually, neither of those things have anything to do with my special talent. I love muffins because they’re delicious, and I work as a mailmare because, well, my special talent doesn’t provide me with a lot of job options that I’m willing to take.” “So then what is your special talent?” asked Sweetie Belle. “Destruction,” Ditzy said simply. “I can utterly obliterate anything with just a touch.” “Really?” asked the CMC in astonishment. “You saw what I did to the town hall,” said Ditzy. “The bubbles that make up my Cutie Mark represent how fragile literally everything around me is. The worst part about my special talent is that I don’t have a lot of control over it. After my daughter Dinky was born, I spent months learning how to suppress it just so I could safely tuck her in at night.” “How did you manage to keep from using it on your husband while you were making your daughter?” asked Sweetie Belle, who was apparently old enough to know how that was done. “I didn’t.” “Oh.”
