Know your Mare - overlord-flinx



It's silly, it's pointless, and it makes little to no sense... I've heard of worse story ideas.

FINAL BATTLE: Cutie Mark Crusaders

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...
