The Pounding Guilt

                Pound Cake woke up to the smell of cupcakes, since Pinky brought some over last night. He got out of his bed and got ready for another school day with cursading right after. He figured since cutie marks come by the name of the pony for some magical reson, he would obviously become a wresler and pound everythig in sight. After his daydream of fame and foutune, he went downstairs for breakfast, then met up with his best friend, Destiny, a bright yellow filly with an almost glowing orange mane and tail, at the playground outside the school.

                As he walked, he let his imagination go wild, he thought about what cursading he would be doing, and he hoped they would learn  about something exiting in school. As he walked, Pumpkin was doing her best to keep up. "Hey wait for me!" Pound knew if she really wanted to she could have caught up with him no problem, but he waited for her anyways.

                 "What do you think we will do after we are done cusading?" Pumpkin asked

                "Don't know"

                " Do you think we could play no-truth-just-dare? It is funner than normal truth or dare."

                "Yes, I know its more fun than the average you told me a billion times. Oh and its more fun not funner."

                "Well mabey its my favorite game Mr. Dictionary"

                "Hey look, I can see Destiny, come on Pumpkin"

                As they made their way toword the playground, Destiny saw them and ran up to them.

"Today will be our lucky day! i just know it!" she yelled exidily.

                 "No need to yell Destiny, we are right here"  replied Pound Cake

                 "Well sorry for being exided. Shesh" she responds, slightly irretated.

                  "He's been grumpy today he corrected my gramer on the way here" said Pumpkin

                  "Wow he is grumpy today" Destiny laughed

                   "Umm hello? I'm right here, I can hea- " Pound was interupted by the bell.

                   They all walked together to the large red building that replaced the old school, and sat in their usual spots, Pumpkin to the left, Destiny in the middle, and Pound to the right.

                   School seemed it took forever considering they were learing about the history of Star  Swirl The Bearded. The time eventually came when they were all let out for the week. "That took FOREVER!" complained Pound.

                  "I liked it" replied Pumpkin

                  "You would, you basically have a beard already" joked Pound

                  "Come on, no time for bickering, cursading time!" Destiny rushed them to the tree house near Sweet Apple Acres, which held about 15 other foals.The top foal, since Sweetie belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo got their cuie marks long ago, was different. Her name was Petal Leaf, a pink filly with a light green mane and tail with darker green highlights.

                 "Ok everypony today is the day! Atleast one of us will graduate from this club today! WHO'S WITH ME?"Petal Leaf asked the crowd.

                  There were cheers around the room. And everypony soon calmed down to choose what they will do.

                 "We should ice skate"

                 "we should roller skate"

                 "Can we plant pretty flowers?"

                  "I wana climb a tree"

                  "There are poor animals in need for help!"

                  "Pigs are always dirty. We should bathe them!"

                   As everyone argued, a filly named Heartgrowth used her horn and spread happyness to everypony there. There was then a flash and on her flank was two hearts side by side. The bigger one on the left was red, and the smaller one on the right was pink, but she was too bussy spreading her happyness to relize what just happened. It was Pumpkin Cake that first saw.

                 "Heartgrowth! your flank!" Pumpkin yelled happily to her friend.Heartgrown looked over in a verry awkward position to be able to see it then the usualy shy pony screeched in delight.

                  Petal leaf, who was still at the front, chose to do her ceremony right then to save time. Petal Leaf motioned to a pegasus filly named Cloudchase, and she brought out bongo drums and pounded a beat to draw atention to the speaker, the beat may have gone for a little too long,

                  " We, as the cutie mark cursaders, bid our farwells to Heartgrouth, she was a sister, friend, confidant, alli ... bosom buddy ... gal pal .....converter .......chum of chums....."

                  "Ahem!" said a impatient Cloudchase

                  "Hey you were supost to revise it since Scootaloo never got around to it." Replied Petal Leaf

                  "Oh...Right"

                 Petal Leaf continued " Home girl........ amega......blahblahblahblahblah. Ha found it! AND FELLOW CUTIE MARK CURSADER! You were solemnly sworn in until this day by your sisters and brothers, friends....confidaunts.......bosom buddies....... compadres.......uhhhh......"

                  Cloudchase came over and took over "congrats you now have your cutie mark hooray!"

                  There were cheers then the cursaders all compromised to ice skate, roller skate, plant flowers, climb trees, save animals, and bathe pigs, and made a new rule that arguing was against the cutie law.

                   Ice skating didn't work because there was no ice, when roller skating they just crashed, when they planted flowers the flowers wilted almost instantly, they coulden't climb trees cause the trees had no branches to climb on, when they tried to save a squirrel by taking its nut away so it woulden't choke it atacked them, and when they bathed a pig it just got dirty again.

                 "Well...that was a bust" Destiny said glumly

                  "Yea tell me about it." replied Pound

                   Pumpkin just nods slowly then stops. "Wait!"

                   "What?" Pound Cake and Destiny said simultaneously.

                   "we can play no-truth-just-dare now, we have time! " The game was exactly what it sounded like, no choise in truth. all you could do is a dare.

                   "Hmm...ok im in" replies Destiny.

                  "Me too!" Adds Pound Cake

                 "Oh can i go first?" Asked Destiny

                  "Sure don't see why not" Pumpkin replied

                "Hmm, Pound, I dare you to crash your head into one of Applejacks apple trees" she said pointing her hoof to a nearby tree.

               "What? no way!"

              "What are you? Scootaloo?"

             "Hey! I'm no chicken I'm goin' I'm goin'" Pound said as he butted into a tree.

            "Oww. Ok my turn. Hmmm" as he thought he remembered Destiny's allergy to milk, then he remembered his cousin who got ichy lips when she drank milk and assumed it was the same thing.

             "I dare you to take a sip of milk from my milk container. Or are you to Scootaloo?" He dared

             "gimmie that!" she took his milk carton from him the moment she heard the insult. She opened the top using her teeth and took a normal sized sip.

                The moment she swollowed Destiny's eyes grew wider than Pound has ever seen them before. She started weezing, rashes coming all over her body, then fell to the floor, the milk being droped on the ground, forgotten. Pound and Pumkin instantly started screaming.
