Something Not Expected...

"Ok, Apple Bloom, what is this meeting about?"

"It's a long story, but I think your going to like it."

     After Zecora invented a new brew that could predict one's cutie mark, Apple Bloom was the test subject of the new experiment.  Although the idea was crazy at first, the cutie mark prediction was more enjoyable to Apple Bloom than it seemed.  Now, Apple Bloom fetched her friends in their tree house to tell them about the experiment, and how she thinks it will work.

"Well, Zecora told me that she invented this weird contraption thing that told somepony's cutie mark.  And I think it actually worked!  Isn't that awesome?!"

Sweetie Belle's face lit up in excitement, "Oh my gosh!  That's amazing!  What was the cutie mark prediction?"

"Well... it was like this food with buns on the bottom and top, with lettuce and tomato in it, but there was this brown, crispy stuff that tasted so juicy and amazing.  You guys have to try it!"

"Wait, hold on," Scootaloo seemed concerned about the experiment. " 'crispy brown stuff?'  I don't think I want to eat that... and besides, how is this random food thing suppose to be our cutie marks?"  Scootaloo placed a more queasy look on her face, a seldom amount of trust between Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

"Awww, c'mon, Scootaloo!"  Apple Bloom taunted Scootaloo, "This thing may get us our cutie marks!  Don't you want that?!  Besides, I thought you liked takin' challenges, n' stuff..."

Scootaloo was point proven, "Alright, fine.  But if this food poisons me, I'm going to kill you."

"How will you kill me if you'd already be dead?"  Apple Bloom smirked a cocky smile, while Scootaloo simply rolled her eyes.

     The three ponies ventured back to Zecora's house, where Zecora gave the bunch a big greeting.  The bunch soon were told that Zecora did some experiments, and proven the food is not poisonous, and not harmful.  She also created some more foods, but they turned out to be different things then what Apple Bloom tested out.  When they entered the hut, there was a whole table set up this time, where the three were planned to stay.  When they all took a seat, the food was then brought out...

"Zecora, you didn't have to do this," Sweetie Belle moaned, "really, you didn't."

"Aww, of course I would do this for you to, Sweetie Belle you!  I mean, can I have a speck of respect, for little ponies earning their cutie marks, you suspect?"

"Well, that's true—" Scootaloo interrupted.

"Scootaloo!  Please have some respect."  Apple Bloom yelled.

As a few moments passed, Zecora then passed out the food.  Everyone had a big plate of the same food Apple Bloom had tried earlier, with a side of these long, salty, tan sticks.  There were also big cups of this brown, cold liquid.  On the side of the cup, it showed a big logo, "Coca Cola."

"Well, this name is pretty stupid," Scootaloo showed the logo on her cup, "Who in all of Equestria would ever name something, "Coca Cola?"

"I dunno, that is a pretty weird name."  Sweetie Belle repeated.  "Zecora, I don't think I'll be able to eat all of this food.  I just ate a second ago, and I'm really full,"  Sweetie Belle turned to Zecora.

"Don't worry, little pony.  I have this drink to keep you hungry and going."  Zecora snagged a jug of this drink inside it, with the label, "Arubo Smoothie."  It seemed Scootaloo recognized that drink.

     "Oh yeah!  Rainbow Dash told me about that drink at Pinkie Pie's house.  After since she got injured, she said that the smoothie has been helping her a lot."  Scootaloo instantly looked more into the idea of finding her long lost cutie mark, suddenly.  There were three more cups given to everybody, filled to the top of Arubo Smoothie.  Amazingly, the three were completely emptied after the smoothie, so everyone began eating.  Maybe at least 3 sandwiches each were chowed down, also 5 packages of those crispy, tan sticks disappeared.  Who knows how much Coca Cola they drank, and maybe a full cup or two of Arubo smoothie were drank each.  After the enormous meal, the three were stuffed.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sooooooo full."  Sweetie Belle moaned, "I doubt I'll be able to get up."

     Their stomachs were all hard as rocks and stuffed, but sure to be soft in the morning.  They had put a few inches or so to their stomachs, and their legs were a tiny bit bulkier.  Their cheeks were chubbier, and a double chin was on it's way.  Although, their flanks were hit the most.  Their diameter had grown as much as an inch, but no cutie mark had still shown up.  Although, all ponies agreed to try this again, with the wonderful, juicy taste still in their mouths.  Exiting the hut to return to the CMC hideout, they noticed their flanks being shifted, and their stomachs had dropped down and jiggled.  Although, the fazes the ponies were in made them oblivious to how fat they were, and how fat they will get.

This was the start of their cutie mark journey.
