A Divided Future

Three young fillies were riding through the park on a with a orange Pegasus pulling it. The Pegasus was pulling a cart with two other ponies and some stuff. The stuff included a microphone, a collapsible stage, some face paint, three purple capes and a fog machine. They stopped at the edge of the park and set up the stage. After many cuts and bruises they finally finished and put up flyers. Tootsie Flute read the poster and showed it to her parents Lyra and Noteworthy. It said concert for cancer a fundraiser helping foals with cancer. The family decided to go to the concert along with many others. Three little fillies went out with black rings around their eyes and lightning bolts on their cheeks. They wore purple capes and the unicorn sang with the others as the chorus. Sweetie Belle sang the most with the others singing gently. At the end they almost destroyed the stage and they all fell down.

"Sigh lets check our flanks again although its probably a huge flunk again." Said Scootaloo before they checked their flanks. Applebloom and Scootaloo were treated with the usual failure and sighed but Sweetie Belle saw something different:A cutie mark.

"Girls! Girls! I got my cutie mark!" Sweetie Belle screamed in delight. The others looked at her flank and gasped at the sight. It was a cutie mark! It was a pink heart with a purple double note in front of it.

"Wow Sweetie Belle ya did it! Ya got yer cutie mark!" Applebloom said in awe.

"Wow Sweetie Belle I can't believe it.You got your cutie mark." Scootaloo said impressed by Sweetie Belles efforts.

"I can't wait to show mom and dad and Rarity and everyone at school!" Sweetie Belle said happily. They all skipped home except Sweetie Belle who strutted home proudly. She was home eventually and opened the door flashing her new cutie mark to her mom, dad and sister eating dinner.Their jaws dropped in amazement and they complemented her and gave her some dinner.She was so happy when her mom would throw a party and give her presents she shot magic out of her horn and zapped Opal. Her families jaws dropped again.

"Sorry mom and dad." Sweetie Belle said nervously.

"Don't worry honey, everypony makes mistakes once or twice." Her mother said fixing opals burnt tail with magic. "I say we have a very amazing daughter." Her dad said. "She deserves a record, "A Newly Rung Belle" perhaps?"

Sweetie Belle ran up and sang her song.

"I was a younger pony, and my flank was pretty bare. It was like the sun, it would just never come. When my cutie mark wasn't there. My friends are the cutie mark crusaders! We were trying see who we are! Nopony should ever stop the journey! Not until they have their cutie mark! So you know that you must fight the fight.There is nothing you must fear its like the sun, might never rise again. When your cutie marks can't be here! I was a cutie mark crusader! Go on a quest to find out who you are and remember never stop your journey not until you have your cutie mark!" She sang.

"That was a great job I got it all recorded! Now we have to publish it." Her dad said.

Sweetie Belle eventually brushed her teeth and feel asleep while her parents took care of her party and record while she slept. Meanwhile her friends were having a hard time falling asleep because they still didn't have their cutie marks. What if they were forgotten and laughed at forever? What if they never got their marks? What if they were all alone forever and only had eachother? They finally fell asleep at 5:25 when they're parents had already woken up. Sweetie Belle was awake at 7:00 sharp and hopped out of bed today was going to be a great day.
