The Wrong Cutie Mark

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Rarity stitched together two pieces of fabric, one was golden, one was white.

She embroidered stars onto the back of the dress, and stitched the leather together of the two golden boots -- Alike the ones she had made Applejack for the gala -- onto the mannequin. "There. Finally finished." Rarity sighed, placing the dress on the rack with the other one she had made earlier. "You know Opal, this dress making thing is getting quiet boring. Maybe I should try something new for a change?" Opal pushed the thread on her sewing table to the ground in protest. "You are right, Opalescence! I should try something new, something to keep life alive." Opalescence slammed her paw into her forehead, facepawing.


Rarity trotted too Golden Oaks Library, she would go to Sweet Apple Acres first since it was closer to her house, but it was far to risky if it would be possible to get covered in mud.

Twilight heard a knock on the door, she put down her book she was reading and trotted over to answer it, "Oh hello Rarity, I was just reading the new book I got today, it's all about cutie marks! Did you know that it was possible for a pony to get the wrong cutie mark?" Rarity put a hoof to Twilight's mouth,  "Twilight. This is serious. I have a big problem."

They both walked in to the library, and sat down at the table together.

"What seems to be the problem? Did Pinkie Pie rob you again?" Twilight asked the white unicorn who sat across from her at the table.

"Huh? No, she didn't rob me again. I am a tid bit bored with my daily requirements as owner of the Carousel Boutique."

Twilight looked confused, "Usually a pony never gets bored with their special gift,"

"Yes, I know. I have never been bored like this before with sewing dresses and such. Maybe.."

Twilight interrupted. "Maybe you have the wrong Cutie Mark!" The purple unicorn shouted enthusiastically.

"Come again, darling?" Rarity asked, confused at what her friend had just said.

"The book I was reading earlier today called "A Guide to Cutie Marks" said in chapter number 34 that it is possible for a pony to have gotten the wrong Cutie Mark!" Twilight said, smiling like a little filly.

"Twilight.. Do you really believe that I may have gotten the wrong Cutie Mark?" Rarity asked, frowning slightly.

The purple Unicorn saw the sadness and fear invading her friends face, "Well, maybe. It's not likely -- You are a wonderful dress maker, Rarity. You probably just are having a mid life crises. You know, maybe you should go see Applejack, She knows how to give advice and such to a pony." Twilight smiled, and patted a hoof on her friends back for comfort.

"Thank you oh so much Twilight, you really are a wonderful friend" Rarity said, closing the door to the library as she made her way out.
