Know your mares, know your mares, know your mares...
Three. On the stage was not one, not two, but three little fillies. None of which looking at all pleased by their being there.
Cutie Mark Crusaders...
...are as token as token gets...
"Token? What they hay does token mean?"
"Whatever it is, it's not nice."
Sweetie Belle...
...isn't a lawyer...
"I never said I was."
You were sure fronting like you were one...
"You were the one that--"
HOLD IT!
We're in charge here...
You can't raise your objections in here...
Got it...?
"...Yes..."
Speak up, pup...
...Can't hear you...
"I said yes... Geez..."
That's more like it...
Applebloom...
...can't dance to save her life...
"When would I ever have ta--"
"SHHHH! Don't give them ANY ideas!"
We're not that sick...
... Gruesome over there might be...
...But we're not...
Scootaloo...
...is the last of her kind...
"Pegasi aren't gone. I saw -like- four on my way in here."
Who said anything about the Pegasus race...?
"You just did."
I did...?
"Yes!"
Well I don't remember saying anything about Pegasi...
...Just your race...
"But I am a Pegasus!"
Sure you are...
Sweetie Belle...
...teaches fabrics to pick pocket their wearers...
"...That doesn't even make any sense!"
Then why do you do it...?
"I don't! Nobody does! It can't be done!"
Can't be done...?
...You dirty despotist...
"What's a despo-tist?"
"That's not a real word."
Yeah...
...because Sweetie Belle knows every word in the dictionary...
"I know a fake word when I hear it."
Scootaloo...
...Isn't a real word...
"It's a name."
A fake one...
And according to Sweetie Belle...
...If the word doesn't exist...
...You don't exist...
"When did she say that?"
"When did I say that?"
It was implied...
"Liar..."
Applebloom...
...lies more then us...
"I never--"
...You never what...?
"...Never mind..."
No no...
...Say it...
"Nope, ya can keep goin'..."
That's what I thought...
...Punk...
Cutie Mark Crusaders...
...are masters of overlooking...
"Overlooking?"
"Overlooking what?"
Cutie Mark Crusaders...
...Can't see the inevitable...
...Or they just don't want to face it...
"What're you talkin' 'bout?"
I believe your theme song said it best...
...Blank...?
...Do the honours...?
Gladly...
Eh-hem...
Yadda-yadda...
...younger pony...
...Blah-blah-blah...
Here we are...!
'We'll have to figure out what we'll do next...
Till our cutie marks are here...'
"Yeah...?"
"Your point...?"
What happens when one of you gets a Cutie Mark...?
That one will no longer need to 'figure out what' they'll do next...
...That one will move on...
"But--"
You three can't possibly have the exact same Cutie Mark...
...two of you will get their's before the other...
...And that one will be left behind...
"..."
Yes...
...That's what I like to hear...
...Defeat...
"...We'll just help out the others until we all have a cutie mark..."
Hm...?
"Yeah. We're best friends."
"Best friends don't quit on ya' until ya'll win."
...They've got a point...
For once lately I wish a guest would just take a defeat...
"Tough! We'll always be stronger then you!"
"Cutie Mark Crusaders Show Defeaters!"
Ugh...
...Can we fire them out of something...?
Nope...
...Blank's papers say we can't physically harm anyone in his age group...
Then what do we do...?
We do this...
A little click echoed through the stage and in seconds a blinking neon sign lit the spot above the three fillies. They noticed the sign had words on it and they read slowly, surprise and energy filling their bodies.
'First filly to climb Mount Haywaii will receive an amazing Cutie Mark'...
In a flurry of hooves pushing away at the others', the three Crusaders scrambled to beat the other one out of the stage; ignoring their talk of best friendship.
...Isn't that mountain active...?
Just a little bit...
Huh...
Cutie Mark Crusader: Extra Crispy...
hahaha
Hmm....Scootaloo would take good...
Sweetie belle would taste too much like fabric.
Applebloom....do I even have to say it?
1099707 Toasty!
Hahahaha! Best one so far in my opinion!
Fried chicken...
Now try reading this story while listening to twilight of the thunder god by amon amarth
Fried chicken, freshly baked apple pie, and burnt paper.
Sounds like a poor man's food fantasy.
For gods sake, all these voices!
Awesome as always.
Scootaloo is not the last of her kind! I know for a fact that Fluttershy has at least 3 other in her chicken coop.
My god how many more are there?!
1099688 This is an example of a story that we have in common.
By the way, COOL STORY, BRO!!!
1100164 oh hi thar lol
1099763 Damn you, you stole my joke.
Screw kfc I want cmc!
Thats how I like my chicken...
extra crispy~!!!
lmfao
Hmmm.... Reminds me of the good ol' days...The days where I was out of control, and I rallied an army and all that. Ahhhh..... memories.
Here have an amazing song about the good ol' days.
Enjoy.
This is one of THE best chapters yet!
I loved all the dialogue exchanges between everypony, especially this:
"Sweetie Belle...
...teaches fabrics to pick pocket their wearers...
"...That doesn't even make any sense!"
That whole part about Sweetie Belle and the fabric and the thing about Scootaloo not existing according to Sweetie Belle because her name isn't in the dictionary... so awesomeme.
And yet again you amaze me! :D
1099763 Fried Dodo bird. Get it? Last of it's kind
This one was really good! I could totally imagine something just like this chapter happening back on the old All That skit.
Also, this whole exchange was gold!
So...they did make it back from that trip, right?
"Of course. You don't think we'd send three cute little fillies to their extra-crispy ends, do you?"
I dunno...maybe?
"You're cruel! I may be crazy, but I'm not murderous!"
Queenie sounds murderous.
"That's her, not me."
Blank sent them to a 'slightly' active volcano.
"That's him, not me..."
You could've stopped him.
"And ruin the little colt's fun? Now THAT is something I can't bring myself to do."
*Steel sighs. After a few more seconds tick by in the world, the door slowly opens to reveal three fillies.*
"Hey...we're back..."
*Scootaloo jumps onto the couch, collapsing into an exhausted heap.*
Sheesh...you three look beat.
"We did just race each other to the top of a mountain...well, we got about half way up before we heard rumbling, then we decided it'd be better to head back down."
Good idea.
"Ah dunno if that rumble was supposed ta happen..."
Better to escape and be safe than to stick around and find out.
"Words to live by."
"Wait, who said that?"
"Nopony."
"Ah recognize that voice..."
"And that's my cue to leave. Goodbye, everypony!"
*A sudden gust of wind blasts through the room as a shadow flies out the door and up into the sky.*
Bye...
"What was that?!"
Nothing.
"My flank that was nothing! Did Rainbow Dash just fly out of here?"
Erm...
*Steel scratches his chin, weighing the consequences of answering.*
Pooooossibly...?
"Aw, shoot!"
So, anyone wanna read another story?
"Sure...I need to unwind. Know any good ones?"
I might be able to hunt one down...any preferences?
"A good action fic is always cool!"
"I prefer comedy."
"Long as it's entertainin', Ah fancy anythin'."
Alright then.
cmon folks...say it with me!

i dont know how they do that
Kentucky Fried Crusaders.
Oh, this was amazing! The CMC didn't even realize they just got owned!
So, if the Cutie Mark Crusaders become charred/cooked, wouldn't this happen:
Applebloom evolves into Apple Crisps/Apple Pie
Sweetie Bell evolves into S'mores
Scootaloo evolves into Kentucky Fried Chicken
I looked up despotist. It's a real word.
When I read this chapter, the story 'Scootaloo is slightly flame retardant' was at the top of my page
Scootaloo's the last of her kind! But she can't be the last chicken on earth!
KENTUCKY FRIED SCOOTALOO!!!!
I think I spotted an RvB reference in there... somewhere.
Was that a Phoenix Wright reference I saw
1388571 ever seen any dodo's in Equestria?
1394512 lol, best thing I've seen yet.
No one bothers to comment about the Phoenix Wright joke?Darn. I will, then.
Hmm....
images.wikia.com/mlp/images/c/c5/Phoenix_wright_hold_it.png
1388571 She's not a chicken she's a dodo.
It's only sightly active, i'm sure at least 2 of them will live.
1107439
ugh, purple text on rarity theme, my eyes, they dont bend that way
1107439 Kentucky Fried Scootaloo, Sweetie S'mores, and Apple Crisps THAT SOUND DELIC... I mean totally disgusting.
1100631 *Dead video is dead*
*Intake of breath*
How do I put this...
WRONG!

This is hilariously ironic in light of Crusaders Of The Lost Mark.

Technically, he isn't wrong.
Look closer...closer...

Do you see it now? They may be similar, but they aren't the EXACT same thing.
media.giphy.com/media/WXtccLGTLB1NS/giphy.gif
...And then they go on to all get the same cutie mark, at the same time.
6686921 Yeah, hindsight really bitchslapped this chapter.
6532756
Have to agree, but to be fair their marks are identical.
