Where to now?

"Don't worry about the alicorn/pegacorn thing. We'd be getting into "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" territory there.
In any case, cutie marks are symbols that manifest on a pony's hindquarters when they realize their reason for being. You've only existed for an hour or two, so no surprise there. My advice from last time holds out: Insist you need to see a magical expert. The filly should be able to help you, though it is possible you've landed in a time prior to the pony I have in mind moving into this town...
Well, I suppose we'll find out, won't we?
(Also, Red Delicious are pretty-looking garbage fruit. See if you can try a cultivar that wasn't bred for visual appeal.)"

No angels can dance on the head of a pin because they're not physical beings. Duh. If they take a physical form then they have to follow physical rules by definition.

Wait... so you guys can read minds and know the future?

Whoa. I've got some powerful friends.

Tom carefully settled down on his hooves to get more eye-level with the filly and leaned forward. "You're right, I don't. Listen, I need some help. Can you take me to see... 'Twilight Sparkle', I think it is?"

The filly cocked her head at the pony. "Well, sure, I guess, but we need to see about getting you your mark! I can't believe an adult pony doesn't have one! I need to go get my friends!"

"ok you've run into applebloom - noticing a theme here - whatever you do you need to get out of there before her friends get there because if you don't, well lets just say I hope you like being deaf... a cutie mark is a mark on your flank that represents your special talent in life."
-Zapper frost

"It was actually family, but love works too.
Aaand you've run into Applebloom, and don't have a cutiemark. Welp, I'll see you in the afterlife.
A tip for your telekinesis, try envisioning your magic as an arm, and use that to grab things. Might not work, but it's the best I have without delving into lots of science.
Riddle: Wherever you may run, I will always follow. You may try to lose me, but I hide in every glow."
-FireheartThePone

"Wait wait wait! Applebloom! I, er, I really need to see Twilight! Or some magic expert! It's an emergency!"

Applebloom looked stricken at that, and narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Wait... how'd you know mah name?"

Tom stiffened for a second, but just a second.

"Oh, uh, well I was here to see Applejack, wasn't I? I've heard your, uh, family, are friends with Twilight, and she can help me. Is that right? Sorry, I'm not from around here!"

"Oh. Well, alright. Waait... that's right! Twilight's out of town! She and her friends are all gone to Canterlot right now. That's why I'm tendin' the field. You wanna try findin' your cutie mark with us while you wait?"

"Well... uhh... I'm not sure. But hey, I have a riddle. Want to try getting a riddle-solving cutiemark?"

Applebloom's face lit up immediately.

"Do I ever! What's the riddle?"

"Wherever you may run, I will always follow. You may try to lose me, but I hide in every glow. What am I?"

Applebloom scrunched her face up in concentration.

For the record, Fireheart, I think the answer is 'your shadow'.

After a few seconds, Applebloom's face lit up. "Your, uh, your eyes! Or, like, your vision!"

Tom blinked at that, considering it for a few seconds. "Huh... I thought the answer was 'your shadow'."

Applebloom ruminated on that for a few seconds. "Huh... Ah think you're right. That fits better. Dangit, I guess I won't be gettin' that mark after all."

"No, actually I think your answer is pretty clever. Lateral thinking, kind of. Good job. Uhh... is there another magic expert in town I could talk to?"

Applebloom shook her head. "Naw, Ponyville's not big on unicorns. But I guess you could always hop a train, or just wait until everyone gets back. I'm supposed to head up to Canterlot soon too, you could ride with me."

Tom lifted a hoof to his chin to ponder. In truth, that wasn't what he had in mind.

Little help?

I'm still warning you that you will go deaf by applebloom and her friends. I would just stay in ponyville and explore the place while trying to find something to hide your horn or wings.

[FanOfMostEverything]

Both options are viable, though you're more likely to cause a ruckus in Canterlot. Most members of your subspecies are immortal philosopher-queens, and two of them keep the local geocentric solar system moving.

Yeah, this a weird universe.

All told, probably best to stick to Ponyville for the time being. The girls will be back in good time, and you can show some initiative in the meantime. Just try not to let too much of the knowledge we're feeding you slip out.

[Golden_Map]

Be carefull.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders are a smart bunch of foals.
Also if she hasn‘t heard of another magic expert like Starlight Glimmer you shouldn‘t ask about Discord.
And if they are headding up to Canterlot (a city literally build on the side of a mountain) they could be headed for a wedding.
Ask her about that.
If you ever need to escape there should be a neutral party in the everfree forest (the forest behind you).
Her Name is Zecora and she is a zebra shaman.
She lives in a tree with windows and masks.
And watch out for blue flowers in there.
Good Luck for now.

Post Scriptum(P.S.):
Be carefull about Celestia she is a milenia old chessmaster.
She arranged almost all of Twilight‘s adventures.
Don‘t fall in her web!

[Kodor]

In order to go on the train you will need bits the currency so the fastest way of can think of is to go to Lyra she has a harp cutie mark and say that you know knowledge on humans and you would sell that information

[Golden_Map]

If it is the wedding then stay as far away from the Invasion , that will happen there , as you can.

What is unmoving but can be broken through lies.

[Nyronus]

Wait... check Appleblooms flanks. Does she have a mark there? Also, ask her why her family left for Cabterlot.

[Viper Pit]

well I hope you adorabieteis medacine because no human could with stand the cutie mark crusaiders level of cute in person

[FireheartThePone]

Yup, shadow.
I'd suggest staying here in Ponyville, until Twilight and her friends get back. Try asking around, there are a lot of ponies, might be one or two magic theorists (if not experts) that Applebloom doesn't know about.
Riddle: I was always here, from the beginning of time, and I will be here until the end of it. I am tiny.

-Eevee

[lightningman]

I would suggest talking to Lyra Heartstrings, Even if she does have a human obsession in this canon, she is still a fellow unicorn in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns alongside Twilight. Or Maybe Vinyl, She may be mute, but she needs to have fine tuning with her magic to be a DJ. So you could learn from either of them. Also, if the wedding was happening, wouldn't Applebloom already be there to be a flower girl? Applebloom is still there. So The invasion isn't happening. It's Probably something else.
