"What I meant was, we should write for the paper!" Sweetie belle said. "We can get our cutie marks as journalists!"
Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow. "It'd be a lot easier if you just have Twilight Sparkle zap a cutie mark onto ya, like she did for me." She turned to show off the apple blossom on her flank.
"Oh... right." Scootaloo stared at it.
Sweetie Belle looked over at Scootaloo. "Why haven't we done that yet?"
"I have no idea." Scootaloo shrugged. "But let's go do it now!"
"Cutie Mark Crusader cutie mark getters! Yay!" the three of them yelled at once.
Solves. All the problems.
And once again, the overpowered twilight robs another pony of the ability to grow. The other characters are all weaker because of these actions. Fluttershy especially as I said last chapter.
Yeah! Who needs the paper when you have Twilight with us all?
B-but...!
Lesson learning!
Character growth!

It's not like they were getting any of that to begin with...
Continuity FTW!
5390004 Remember? They don't need to grow--they're all already perfect. Ocalhoun's mentioned this in the comments a few times before.
And all crises of hurtful gossip has been averted...oh and Diamond Tiara gets stripped of her editor title due to no juicy gossip.
(sigh)
So what do you think Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo's cutie marks are going to be?
"NONE MAY ENTER THE ORB!" -The Orb. Greatest character ever.
KBO.

But... They're already overpowered as is!
Weelll... this has been disproved by the canon because Apple Bloom actually DID ask Twilight to do that, and she was unable to.

She can just use the anti-canon spell.
Alternate Solution: Spike is interviewed directly by the CMC so he'd know who Gabby Gums is (are) and could just tell his friends. Confrontation with nearly 10 minutes to spare.
