Scootaloo buzzed her wings as she sped through Ponyville on her scooter making her way to the cutiemark crusader clubhouse. She grinded on ledges and found a wooden board that's always laying on a rock. Scootaloo rode up the ramp and did a backflip in the air and landed back on the ground.

I have to hurry or I'm going to be late for the meeting.

She rode as fast as she could.


Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom were sitting in front of the clubhouse talking about things to do for their cutiemarks.

"Maybe we could try karate." said Sweetie Belle.

"Ah didn't do to well when ah tried that." said Apple Bloom.

"How about baking?"

"Nah."

"Camping?"

"We already tried that with our sisters."

"Dressmaking?"

"Maybe"

"I can't think of anything else." said Sweetie Belle.

"How about singing?" asked Apple Bloom.

"I guess we could." said Sweetie Belle

"Hey look Sweetie Belle! There's Scootaloo!"exclaimed Apple Bloom.

Scootaloo quickly stopped in front of her friends.

"Hi Scootaloo." said Sweetie Belle.

"Hey guys." said Scootaloo.

"We were waitin' fer ya!  What were ya doin' all morning?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Hehe...I accidentally overslept."

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom face-hoofed.

"So what do you guys want to do to earn our cutiemarks today?"

"We going to be singers!" exclaimed Sweetie Belle.

"We already tried that. Remember the talent show?" said Scootaloo.

"I remember, but we're going to sing individually."said Sweetie Belle.

"Ok, then. What are we waiting for?"

"CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS SINGERS YAY!"


The Cutiemark Crusaders went to a busy shopping center in the middle of Ponyville.

"Ok girls! Who wants to sing first?"asked Scootaloo.

"None of you! We don't want to hear your horrible voices!"

The CMC turned around to meet the eyes of two stuck up rich fillies known as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"Great it's them." Scootaloo thought.

"Did you stupid blank flanks already forget about the talent show?"said Diamond.

"No we didn't forget, but we're doing something different this time."said Sweetie Belle.

"Go ahead and sing then, you'll never get your cutiemarks since you'll never do anything right!"Silver Spoon said as she and Diamond

Tiara walked away. The two fillies didn't walk far though, they wanted to watch the CMC if they failed at singing.

"I'll sing first!"said Sweetie Belle. She wasn't the bravest pony in Equestria, but she really wanted to prove Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon wrong.

"Ok! What're ya going to sing?"asked Apple Bloom.

"Hmm... how about the Cutiemark Crusaders theme song!"said Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah" said Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

Sweetie Belle cleared her throat and began to sing. As she sang the theme song, ponies started to crowd around her and Diamond

Tiara and Silver Spoon's jaws dropped.

"She's really good Diamond! She might actually get her cutiemark!"

"Don't worry about it Silver Spoon! Those other two still won't have their cutiemarks."said Diamond Tiara.

"Everypony look! A music cutiemark!" After the pony shouted all Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon heard were a loud screams of excitement.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I GOT MY CUTIEMARK!"

"We should get Pinkie Pie to throw ya a party!"

Sweetie Belle's cutiemark was a small pink heart with many musical notes floating around the edges of it.

"Now that Sweetie Belle has her cutiemark she could help us get our cutiemarks by giving us tips on what we should do!" said Apple Bloom.

"Yeah." Scootaloo said hanging her head.

The CMC headed to sugercube corner to set up Sweetie Belle's party.


"That party was pretty fun. I still can't believe Sweetie Belle got her cutiemark. Why am I not happy for her? Why am I not excited? What's this horrible feeling that I have? I hope it's nothing."thought Scootaloo.


Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom met up at the clubhouse the next day.

"That party was fun! I still can't believe that you got your cutiemark, Sweetie Belle!" exclaimed Apple Bloom.

"Yeah." said Scootaloo.

"So are you guys going to do for your cutiemarks?"asked Sweetie Belle.

"Hmm... how about carpentry?"said Apple Bloom.

"Ok." said Scootaloo.

"What are you going to build though?"asked Sweetie Belle.

"I know!" exclaimed Apple Bloom.

"What?" asked Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"We can build a bird house!" said Apple Bloom.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" said Sweetie Belle.

"CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS CARPENTERS YAY!"

The Cutiemark Crusaders gathered all of the supplies needed to make a bird house.

"Let's get started!" exclaimed Apple Bloom.

"Where does this piece go?" asked Scootaloo.

"Oh! That's the wall. Ya have ta put it right here and then put the other wall over there and..." Apple Bloom finished the bird house with

ease. Then a small glow flashed on her flank and a cutiemark appeared. "OH MY CELESTIA! I GOT MY CUTIEMARK!" exclaimed

Apple Bloom.

"That's so cool Apple Bloom!" exclaimed Scootaloo.

Apple Bloom's cutiemark was a half of an apple shaped like a heart with a red paint brush in it.

"How did ah get a painting cutiemark if I built the bird house?" asked Apple Bloom.

"Maybe it means creativity." said Sweetie Belle.

"Oh! That makes sense!" said Apple Bloom.

"Now only one crusader has to get there cutiemark." said Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah! We'll help you get yer cutie mark Scootaloo." said Apple Bloom.

"Thanks guys! I guess we'll start tomorrow after school, then!" exclaimed Scootaloo.

"Yeah!" they all exclaimed.

"I really hope that everything goes well at school tomorrow. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon will probably start bullying me again, but this time I'll be all alone." Scootaloo had sped all the way to the orphanage and went to her room. "I hope tomorrow won't be as bad as I think it will be." thought Scootaloo. She doesn't know how right she is.
