Three very different ponies are lost in the forest. As they journey, the three write about their adventure.

We are all different. From our personalities to our genders. From our manes to our cutie mark. Especially our cutie mark. No one has ever seen a pony with the same cutie mark. But it's our differences that cause conflict.

When Luna wakes up, something has largely changed. She doesn't have a cutie mark! Her personality feels different too. Instead of being shy and dark, she feels like a fashion diva. And her horn and wings have gone.

Applebloom can't believe her eyes. She finally has a cutie mark! But it wasn't what she thought it would be. She doesn't even remember getting it. She feels shy, as if she has a dark past. And she has a horn.

Silver Spoon wants her cutie mark back, and badly. She has tried EVERYTHING to get it, but nothing seems to work. Yet she knows this isn't right. Didn't she already have a cutie mark? Silver Spoon also thought that she was an earth pony, not a pegasus!

The three must journey to find a way to their old selves and defeat the one behind it all. Candence?!

Applebloom

I woke up here. The sun was beaming onto mah face, covering my body in a blanket of warmth. I used one of my hooves to block the sun from burning mah eyes. Ah felt very odd. A little nauseated too. Mah head was fogged up. So I cleared it very slowly. Ah am Applebloom. Ah live with mah sister and brother. Ah have no cutie mark. Mah best friends are Scootalo and Sweetie Belle. We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I could feel my mind clearing up. The only part that didn't clear up was mah memory of yesterday.

    Ah stood up and looked around. Ah saw sand, water, and a jungle. Ah also saw that Ah was not alone. Two other ponies were here. One was Princess Luna. The other was Silver Spoon. They were still asleep. Not wanting to disturb them, Ah trotted along the shore edge, looking for clues of how we got here. There was no wood that could suggest a shipwreck. There was no boat that indicated we purposely sailed here. Nothing but sand a pink shells. Lots of pink shells. The shells didn't really bother me. Ah didn't grab one because Ah'm not into pink. Ah prefer the dark night sky. Strange, though. I thought I liked the red of apples. Now it doesn't seem as appealing to me.

    Ah headed back over to where the others were. Luna had begun getting up. Her flowing mane that looked like the beautiful night sky had returned to the solid blue color. It was okay, Ah guess. But Ah thought it was flowing. Maybe it was just at night. Princess Luna looked at me.

"Your mane is a mess!" Luna exclaimed. I gave her a puzzled look. That's something Silver Spoon would say. I shrugged.

"Yours doesn't look all that great either," I muttered, but hoped she didn't hear me. Weird. Luna looked around. She didn't understand how we got here, I guess.

"Um, do you happen to know how we got here?" Luna asked me. I shrugged again. I noticed something different about Luna.

"Where's your horn? And your cutie mark?" Luna looked and felt for them. She looked at me and gasped.

"You have them!"
