CMC: The Third Generation

by Rose Quartz

Ch.13 Becoming a Crusader

The group walked to Sweet Apple Acres and ran into Apple Heart and Apple Sweets.

"Howdy Johnny", greeted Apple Heart

"Hey girls can you help us with something?", asked John

"Sure, what is it?", asked Apple Sweets

"Were wondering if you know where the Cutie Mark Crusader clubhouse is?", asked Sugar Sweets

"Oh your thinking about being Crusaders?", asked Heart "Follow us"

"You know, you guys happen to be the third generation Cutie Mark Crusaders", said Sweets

"Third generation?", asked Meteor Blitz

"Yeah the first generation Crusaders were Aunt Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed, Rumble, and Dinky", explained Sweets

"And the second generation Crusaders were Me, Sweets, Bloomburg, Cheese Whiz, Hope Diamond, Magnum, Autumn Leaves, Razor Wind, Love In The Mist, Pound Cake, and Pumpkin Cake", explained Heart

"So your saying our older siblings were Crusaders too?", asked Gemstone

"We still are Crusaders in the heart", explained Sweets "Rule #100 in the Cutie Mark Crusaders handbook"

"Once a Crusader, always a crusader", said the twins

The group followed the Apple twins until they reached a small tree house.

"This is the Cutie Mark Crusaders club house", explained Sweets "Have fun"

The twins walked away and the group went into the clubhouse.

"Ok so what do we have to do first?", asked Apple Buck

"According to the CMC handbook, we have to assign roles", explained Blitz

"Roles?", asked Orion

"Yup, like the first role is the leader", explained Blitz

"I'll do it", said Orion

"No, I'll do it", said Cortland

"What do you do if there's an arguement?", asked Zap Bolt

"It says here that they have an election. So each runner has to present a speech on the podium", read Meteor Blitz

"I'll go first", said Orion walking up to the podium "I think I should be leader because Im a prince. And if Im the leader I'll listen to everyponies ideas 100%"

Everypony clapped as Orion walked off the podium. Cortland walked up the podium.

"I wanna be leader because I was destined to be it. You see, my mom Applebloom was the first leader. My cousin Bloomburg was the second leader. That means all the leaders were Apples. And I think I should continue the tradition and be leader"

Everypony clapped again as Cortland walked off the podium. Then, Blitz flew up to the podium.

"Ok show of hooves if you want Cortland to be leader", said Blitz

Buck, John, and Aria, raised their hooves.

"And show of hooves if you want Orion", said Blitz

Pixel, Gem, Sugar, and Zap raised their hooves.

"I guess Orion's our leader", said Apple Buck

Everypony started to cheer.

"Hey Cortland, even though you didn't win, I still think you would've been a great leader", said Aria blushing

"Aw thanks A", replied Cortland blushing

"What's next on the list?", asked Pixel

"Our secretary, someone to tell us our plans for the day", explained Blitz

"I could do it", said Sugar

"Ok, thanks Sugar", said Blitz "Now we need a tailor, someone who can make us clothes we need for an adventure"

"My mom is giving me sewing lessons, so I could do that", offered Gem

"Great, the first thing we need you to make is the Cutie Mark Crusaders cape", said Blitz handing her the design

"Ok, I'll get right on it when I get home", said Gem "What's next?"

"A weather checker, to check the weather each day to see if we can continue our plans", explained Blitz

"I got that covered", assured Zap "What else?"

"We need a recorder", explained Blitz "Someone to take pictures for our CMC Scrapbook"

"I'll do it, I love taking pictures", said Buck

"Great, now we need a substitute", explained Blitz "Someone to fill in for someone incase they cannot attend a meeting"

"So like an understudy?", asked Aria

"In a way"

"Im in"

"Hey Blitz, is there a role that involves making snacks?", asked John

"Well it says here that there's a snack bringer", explained Blitz reading the book "Do you wanna be that?"

"You bet", replied John

"Great", said Blitz "Ok so there's three jobs left. The attendence checker, the supply bringer, and the judge"

"Which one is the easiest?", asked Pixel

"Probably the attendence checker, cause all you have to do is check to see who's here or not", explained Blitz

"Then I'll do that", replied Pixel

"What do the other roles do?", asked Cortland

"The supply bringer brings supplies for our crusading needs", explained Blitz "And the judge solves any arguement two or more crusaders have"

"I guess I'll be the supply bringer", said Cortland "My mom's a carpenter. So it shouldn't be too hard to get supplies"

"Then I guess I'll be the judge", said Blitz "Ok were crusaders now"

"YAY", cheered the crusaders

They stood there in silence for a couple of minutes.

"So what now?", asked Zap

"Homework?", suggested Blitz

"Sure", replied the crusaders

The crusaders did their homework until they had to go home.
