Dearest Cutie Mark Crusaders,
Finally. You've done it. For the first time in... well, the history of ever, we have three undeniably similar triplet cutie marks. I don't need to stretch my thinking too much to see that all of you have discovered that you share the exact same main talent at the same time, which is a glorious sight to these weathered eyes. However, don't be surprised if your Hidden Marks differ--they likely will, and that's okay. You don't have to share everything. Believe me, that can get awkward very quickly.
Yes Luna, I am talking about my toothbrush. And my hairbrush. Just because you have glitter dust fights with yourself doesn't mean I should deal with the aftermath in my own hair!
Ahem. But those will probably come way, way later in your future. And with marks like that, I have no doubt you'll open up some Lost and Found Talent Agency of some kind. Helping those without talent find it, and those with talent to improve on it, sounds like a new sort of adventure that will never fully end for you. Talent is always out there, looking to be discovered or refined. So good luck, Crusaders. You'll need all you can get.
Oh, and Luna has something to say as well.
Hello, dear Crusaders. I'm so happy that you have discovered your true talent. I'm sure many others have expressed this sentiment to you by now, but this is a momentous occasion to remember for us in particular.
You may not know this, but my sister and I had discovered our talents at roughly the same time. It may sound silly, but it all stemmed from a small dare. "I dare you to... move the sun!" Oh, how she laughed it off as something impossible! One pony couldn't possibly do something like that!
She refused, of course, but I wouldn't have it. I upped the ante with a double-diamond-dog dare that I'd move it too!
No, I said I'd do the sun too! Tia, the moon was your triple-diamond-dog dare, not mine!
Yes, I'm certain that wasn't when we nearly doomed the world with a lunar eclipse. That was the week after the dare. Trust me--the blood moon is a thing I'd rather not live through again.
Now, where was I? After my sister's dare of no return, we had made good on our bets. Barely, but we'd done it. Knowing we could do something we thought was impossible...
It filled us with determination to do more, to better ourselves. It was the moment that set us down our path. I won't tell you what your path is--that is a journey you will have to discover for yourself, dear Crusaders.
Only now, you have a direction to follow. So follow it, and don't look back.
Wishing to your success,
Princess Luna and Princess Celestia

Mayor Mare,
Thank you for this informative report concerning some of these questionable school projects approved by the board of education, or more specifically, Spoiled Rich. Truly, her gumption to insist that a stained-glass window of her daughter is an educational piece the school needs to 'grant a grander appreciation of the finer arts' is the sort of legendary bullcrap my Canterlot nobles would dream of.
Rest assured, I'll come up with a proper response to these egregious claims in a short time. You'll know when it comes--you'll be the first to get a copy of it, before the real one reaches her mailbox.
Cheers,
Celestia
Greetings, good folk! My time's a bit cramped today, so I'll just leave two things here regarding today's letter.
1. For those wondering why I have no end bit regarding the clone babysitting tutoring, fret not. I haven't forgotten--I'm just not quite finished writing about this episode yet because SO MUCH happened in it. Which means...
2. There will be a bonus letter for this episode!

We've seen twin cutie marks before on Flim and Flam. I guess that *doesn't* prove they're changelings after all?
This episode was so good it requires two letters.

Dear Spike,
I'm sorry dragons don't get cutie marks but never fear dreams do come true and I don't have any jurisdiction with night events outside
of the bars in Canterlot....
Everything
darkThe night is Lunas department and any questions asked about your needs is answered "Look for the matching plushy"what ever that is....Maybe we can get together on Nightmare Night and think on it two heads are better than one.

Ooh, bonus letter. Can't say I blame you for leaving the subplots by the wayside for the moment. This one was momentous, and did have explicit princess involvement.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Thank you for your kind words! We really appreciate it! We will cherish our lives with our cutie marks and help discover what other ponies' talents are. We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders and we will always be as long as we are together!
Signed,
Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle AKA The Cutie Mark Crusaders

I think it's ex-crusaders now...
Okay the end bit here was a nice touch because I also found a lot of suspicion raised about what kind of a job Spoiled Rich was doing as head of the School board if it can afford stain glass windows and statues of Diamond Tiara but not keeping commonly used playground equipment in an acceptable state of repair.
Actually the reveal of Spoiled Rich explains how Diamond Tiara was able to get away with so much stuff at school.

No. No it isn't. While the first Cutie Mark Crusade has reached its conclusion and the Long Sought Cutie Marks have been earned, there are yet more to embark upon. Just now all future Cutie Mark Crusading will be on behalf of other peoples Cutie Marks besides their own.
6520158 Yeah your right that does expalin why she got away with bulying the CMC and scott free during the time with the foal free press and stuff.
jee i wonder who denied the funding for the playgroun equeiment..it just such a mystery.
6520130 Once a Crusader always a Crusader!
"Filled us with determination" huh? HUH? HUUUUUUUUUUH?
I THINK I SEE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE THERE.
You know, this actually makes a degree of sense, all things considered. Normally cutie marks are singular, but for three friends to get the same mark? It's rare enough to justify a royal letter.
6520222
I was hoping so. I haven't completely finished the episode.

I don't think it's quite the same thing, in my personal opinion. Flim and Flam's marks seem to me to be more 'complementary', perhaps indicating that each of them has a special talent that meshes perfectly with the other's, whereas the CMC marks are more actual variations on the same base, implying (to me at least) that they all share a destiny, not just that their destinies are connected. But then again, that's just my speculation - take it as you will.

"Knowing that the little rainbow pony may one day move that sun... it fills you with determination."

If you take another step in pursuing this reference...
I feel you're going to have a bad time.
6520219
Indeed. I mean no matter how you look at it, its damning.
Either the School Budget is being mismanaged in a downright criminal way (aka they wasted the school budget on stupid shit like that window and statue), or you have a severe cases of nepotism and abuse of power for petty reasons (In the case that they actually had or could easily set aside the needed funds but Spoiled Rich refused the request out of spite).
I'm not sure which would be worse, but if anyone looked too closely into that there would be a possibly literal angry mob of parents and other concerned ponies after the ones responsible.
6521076 I'm having the best time, because I have no LVLs.
6520158 School Boards always have tight budgets. I'm pretty sure the fancy stained-glass mirror was paid for by the Rich family, just like the statue of Diamond Tiara was going to be. If there really was money in the budget to fix the playground equipment months after Tirek's attack, doesn't it seem pretty likely someone on the school board or Cheerilee would have already tried to do that?
Now that I think of it, I hope Celestia sends a follow-up letter to Pipsqueak telling him if he wants to remain in politics, he should check if there is money available to cover his campaign promises before he makes them. Also one to Diamond Tiara on, well, a host of different things.
half of the reations are OMG CMC cutie marksssss!!!!!
other half?
bout damn time
Awesome. Seriously, it was a good episode and I think you made a very nice response for the Princesses.
Glitter dust, huh...?
Oh, it's an actual thing. Haven't seen that before.
I can think of some fun things to do with that.
Does Diamond Tiara have a younger sibling named Affluenza?
