Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, are probably the most adventurous, and probably the most daring, fillies in all of Ponyville. Or Equestria at that matter! However, if they aren’t busy crusading for their Cutie Marks, they would be looking into a pond in between their houses.

The residents were confused when this started happening, but never dared questioned it. It was a relief, actually, less time they had crusading, less mischief and chaos that would happen in town.

Although it does beg the question, what is special behind this seemingly normal pond of water?

Well the key may be simpler than you think...

(This IS an AU, to where Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon we’re forgiven BEFORE the CMC got their Cutie Marks, and also Dinky Hooves is a part of it.)
