Like 2nd-person sensual and cute fun? Well, there's about five or six other authors you should probably go to first. If you've read all their works, however, then I'm your go-to guy. Also, watersports

It's been ages since the Cutie Mark Crusaders became friends, yet they still have not acquired their cutie marks. As they've been told, self-discovery comes at its own pace. However, when one of the crusaders discovers her special talent first, what does it mean for the trio of friends? Will there even still be a friendship?

A story of how the CMC finally acquire their cutie marks.

Chapters (8)
Comments ( 94 )

Note about this story: Chapter 1 is already finished, and will come within a week. I'll try and have Chapter 2 ready about two weeks after that, though it is largely in progress.

Hope you enjoy my story!

Have a clap. It's still in the making, but this chapter deserves a clap.

Clap.

Uh oh Scootaloo and Applebloom are going to be pretty mad when Sweetie Belle actually starts to sing and gets her cutie mark. :fluttershysad:

I really can't wait to see this story progress! Consider this story favorites and watched! :pinkiehappy:

Oh yea, this is totally going to be like the show. :twilightsmile:

Have a moustache and keep up the great work. :moustache:

Idea: When finished, send this to the script writers of MLP FiM. They should put this in as an episode near the end of Season 3.

Wut, Scootaloo has no parents! She's an orphan, remember?:rainbowhuh:

I don't subscribe to that bit of fanon. Until canon proves me otherwise, I assume that the major reason we haven't seen Scootaloo's parents is because there has been no reason for them to show up yet.

I have a thing with making sure my characters get nice things. :scootangel:

Interesting. I'm curious to see where this is going.

816547 Of course, she could possibly be raised by relatives that aren't her parents and still be a happy kid. I don't have a problem with the Scootaloo-is-an-orphan theory, but I suspect that you're right and that the only reason her parents haven't shown up yet is that there's never been a reason for them to. I always thought that if there's a canon orphan, it's probably Apple Bloom.

“At least we got we came lookin’ for.” Needs a 'what' after the got.

I'm liking this very much. Well done with keeping this in line with the show. :twilightsmile:

Fixed now, thanks for pointing that out.

Diamond Tiara do I have to tell your father what you've been getting up to again, I don't think he'll be happy to hear you insulting other fillies again. :trollestia:

You never fail to impress me with your writing style Timebomb. Really looking forward to the rest of this story! :yay:

Though I am prone to wearing my heart on my sleeve, so don't be shocked if some of those impending sad scenes get to me :fluttercry:

At least I can hope that they'll all keep that friendship going no matter what!

Yay Sweetie Belle! Sing your heart out!

Would like to extend a personal message of thanks to both The Gentleman Creeper, for suggesting the use of Que Sera Sera as Sweetie's song, and Eights, for proofreading. I would also like to thank Azure-Spark and Circuit over on Ponychan's Training Grounds for giving the first couple chapters the kick in the backside that they needed.:twilightsheepish:

I can imagine this plot actually being used for an episode. Have a moustache. :moustache:

Her cutie mark YAY!!!!!!!

Uh-oh I have a feeling that Scootaloo and Applebloom are going to be jealous, this isn't going to end well. :pinkiegasp:

When i read the last last line i thougt that this was the end of the fic and made myself sad, but then i checked and made myself happy again when i saw it was incomplete.

Please please PLEASE continue this story! It's seriously the best 'CMC-gets-their-cutie-marks' story I've ever read!

Chapter 3 is still in the works. My goal is to try and get the draft done over labor day weekend. Plans may or may not change due to classes, but we'll see when we get there.

Yay an update! NICE ONE SWEETIE :raritystarry:

'“Blech!” Sweetie grimaced. “Even your hoof is gross.”', well at least we know Rarity ISN'T a marshmallow so that's good news. :rainbowlaugh:

Also that last line, oh Scootaloo I have a feeling you don't know how wrong you're going to be. :twilightoops:

Fun fact about chapter 3: The scene with Rarity was going to be the opening scene at first. Instead of her being disgusted, she would've felt really proud of herself for completing her order. Her first word would've been "beautiful," which would've carried over from the unfinished sentence at the end of chapter 2.

Now to begin figuring out just how I want chapter 4 to progress. This might take a while...

IT UPDATED! YUSSSSS!:pinkiehappy:

That was cute :twilightblush:

I really don't want the crusaders to end.... But I supposed it has to happen:applecry: or at least, their relationship will change which makes me sad :raritydespair:

But I REALLY like your story it's #1! /):rainbowkiss:(\

I think I see where this is going... Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are going to be jealous. :rainbowderp::unsuresweetie::fluttershysad::ajbemused:

Wait....

"It appeared on both sides!"

I thought a cutie mark only appeared on one side of their flanks from what I remember.....:duck:

Oh hey, IT'S FINALLY HERE!

Poor Sweetie...hopefully they'll stay together.

Wonderfully bittersweet. Wish you'd update faster, but that's my only complaint, and I'd rather have something this good than something rushed.

Do carry on.

Already their friendship is crumbling, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom better not let their attempts at getting a cutie mark interfere with Sweetie Belle's upcoming choir concert or Sweetie will be very annoyed. :twilightoops:

I know. I truly regret taking so long to finish this chapter. I can't guarantee the next chapter will come any sooner, but at least I don't have college to worry about for a little while. Maybe I can get a good deal done before the semester starts piling up. :twilightsheepish:

Sweetie losing interest in crusades? Uh-oh...

Sorry it took so long to actually get around to reading this. Can't wait to see what sort of personalities you give some of the other choir members.

DOH MY GOAWSH! DAT WASH AMASHING!
and I jut watched the alfred hithcock movie wih Que Sera Sera in it. Good choice of song!

Apple Bloom sems close to finding her cutie mark but Scootaloo seems as cluesless as ever. I feel this will not end well if Apple Bloom gets her cutie mark in the near future. :ajsleepy:

Wouldn't there be a bull where all the cows are? He might be willing to help.

2468158
There are. It's just that those bulls know better than to help the CMC with a crusade that potentially dangerous.

I totally did not just pull that out of my rump, by the way. Nope, not at all, not me, never. :raritywink:

Most of the toys only have it on one sides, but you can find numerous shots from the show that show it on both. It's more of a lazy toymakers thing, or a holdover from some/one of the older series.

Oh noes I hope they don't miss her cute ceñera!

2469618 I bet you they will. Then the fallout will break the already unstable bond that's there now.

I can't possibly see how this will work out right now.

2468129

How do you figure Apple Bloom is close? She seems just as clueless as Scoots.

Ah the classic forget a friend's party ploy. A classic conflict device.

All in all a good story to be sure. My only problem with this that I see is this:

(something her “C” average grades reflected)

Not really sure why you have these parentheses, as the statement itself would fit in fine without them.

Otherwise I'm thoroughly enjoying the story thus far!
