Rainbow Dash had just crashed into the ground and missed the last cloud hoop. "Aw,man" she said rubbing her wing. She carefully took off and flew home. Spectrum Streak, Rainbow Dash's father was writing one of his books when his daughter walked through the door.
He looked back at her and almost laughed at his daughter, she was covered in grass and dirt. "Oh my, what happened?!" He asked with a smile on his face. She didn't answer, she just walked past her amused father with a frown. Spectrum thought to himself, wandering what happened to his daughter, he shrugged and went back to his book.
Rainbow sat on her bed, she felt like she could explode. "I hate losing! I can't believe I flew so fast, and yet, no cutie mark!" Rainbow Dash laid down on her bed and watched the fan go round and round.
Then there was a knock on her door, "Come in!" Rainbow said, still watching the fan. Firefly opened the door and walked through it, "I talked to your dad when I got home, and he said you weren't too happy." Firefly said as she sat on the bed next to her daughter. "Mom, I lost a race to some...jerks!" Rainbow Dash said, sitting up and throwing her arms up into the air.
"Oh, I Completely understand. Imagine how your mother felt when she didn't get into the the Wonderbolts. I thought that I was sure that I would get in, and yet, I didn't."
Firefly said, trying to make her daughter feel better. Rainbow sighed, "Yeah, but Mom, look!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing to her flank, "I'll never get my cutie mark!"
Firefly looked at Rainbow and said, "I know, I know. You will get your cutie mark in time, I promise." Firefly smiled.
"Can I practice with you some?" Rainbow Dash asked with a grin.
"Sure." Firefly replied.
"I'm so sorry Twilight." Twilight Velvet said as she and her husband and disappointed daughter walked home from the school.
"Mom, why can't I just do one magic spell?" Young Twilight Sparkle asked.
"Maybe you just need more practice." Twilight's dad Midnight suggested.
"So, how did the class go?" Teenage Sinning Armor asked as they walked through the door.
"Shinning Armor, is that really a question that I have to answer?" Twilight said with a sigh.
"It was that bad?" Shinning asked with surprise, as he walked over and hugged his mom.
"Yep." Twilight said flatly. Shinning Armor hugged his sister.
"Just give it some time. I'm sure that you will do better soon." Shinning said, trying to be encouraging to his little sis.
She smiled and said, "Thanks B.B.B.F.F." Twilight's mother and father both looked at their daughter with a, What did you just say? look.
Twilight looked at her parents and said, "Big Brother Best Friend Forever." Her mom and dad exchanged glances before looking at their daughter and smiling. That night Twilight was up practicing spells, but proceeded to fail. "Urg! Why can't I do a stupid spell?!" Twilight was very sad that she had failed to pass the entry exam.
Twilight had a weird feeling, like she had done something, wrong. She couldn't understand her feeling, yet it was there and making her want to re-do the entire day. She couldn't wait see Cadence the next day, she always had a way of making Twilight feel better no matter what.
But Twilight just couldn't get rid of the weird feeling that she had, a feeling that made her feel like she had done something so very... wrong.
Young Rarity sat there, staring with anger at the large rock which her horn had just dragged her all the way out to. "Why did my horn bring me all the way out here?!" Rarity said with anger, she was so mad.
Later, she was able to find her way back to Ponyville. At her home she sewed a small bow that she would wear to the school play that night.
"Oh, why couldn't I create something spectacular?" Rarity sighed, she didn't have her cutie mark, and she often got taunted about it.
That night she gazed up at her designs that her teacher called, "Very nice." She sighed, and continued to watch. When the play was over the teacher said, "And now see the designer of these cute outfits, Rarity!"
Rarity came up on stage and tried her best to smile, apparently she wouldn't supposed be a real fashionista after all. That night she returned home, she found it hard to sleep that night, with the big rock on her mind. When Rarity drifted off to sleep, she had a strange dream.
She was...older and prettier too, she was with six ponies that...she didn't know. She saw her at the big rock, and she saw her walk home like she had that day. Then she saw a large stone in a spooky old castle, the stone had a gem carved into it. The stone cracked, right through the middle! (do you know what that stone would of been?)
Fluttershy just had to say goodbye to those cute little animals, flying home to her Grandma Flitter. "Fluttershy dear, how was camp today?" her grandmother asked as she opened the door for her granddaughter.
"Oh, grandma!" She exclaimed."It was wonderful!" Her sweet voice echoed through the little house.
"Well what flying tricks did-ya learn today?" Her grandma asked with a smile
."Oh, well I really wasn't there,grandma." She answered shyly.
"Well then, what was so wonderful?" Her grandma was confused.
"Well, you see... I fell and I was caught by Butterflies. And there was this pretty garden with all sorts of animals!" Fluttershy explained with her eyes full of awe.
"You talk about it like you found you special talent dear." Her grandma complemented.
Fluttershy's smile turned into a frown, "Well, I didn't get my cutie mark." Fluttershy was very, well, shy so she always got teased about not having a cutie mark.
"Oh, I'm sorry Fluttershy, dear." Her grandma apologized as she hugged her granddaughter. "You will get it soon, I'm sure." Her grandma was very good at making Fluttershy feel better, and never once did it fail.
"Grandma, do you want to go on a nature hunt?" Fluttershy asked.
"Why of corse dear." Her grandmother replied. Fluttershy was excited to see some cute little critters again.
Applejack stared out the window of her aunt and uncle's house, she gazed at a particular little town far off on the horizon. "Why did ah even leave ma home? I don't like this fancy life." Applejack said, she was making plans to head back to her country farm home.
That night Applejack lay there in bed wanting to go home right then and there. That night she had a dream. She was older, and she at Sweet Apple Acres. She was with six other ponies that she didn't know. She saw herself looking out the window, like she had done that day.
Then she saw a large stone in a weird castle. The stone had a stone carved into it. And all of the sudden, the large stone cracked right down the middle. That night Applejack had many dreams involving the unfamiliar five ponies.
The next morning, Applejack got up with excitement. She was going home! At breakfast, Applejack told her aunt and uncle that she was going to return to Sweet Apple Acres. "Oh, well I'm glad you enjoyed the stay." Was her Aunt Orange's response.
"Ah sure did!" Applejack said, "Thank yall so much for let'n me stay." Applejack said, as she headed out the door. When she got home she was welcomed be young Big Mac and Granny Smith.
Applejack was so happy to be home, but she just didn't understand the dream that she had about the large stone cracking. What ever it was, Applejack was glad to be home.
Pinkie sighed as she went in to her house. "Why is everything so boring around here?" Pinkie asked herself as she sat in her room. Pinkamina Dian Pie was the youngest pony in her family, and yet, Pinkie Pie, which is what she is more known as, wanted excitement.
All her family ever did was harvest rocks, day-in and day-out, rocks, rocks, and, well...more rocks! Pinkie brushed her flat mane as she thought. Why can't I earn my cutie mark? You know, I just realized how much I hate harvesting rocks!
Pinkie sighed as she looked at the family photo that she had hanging on her wall. "Has anypony in this family ever smiled?" Pinkie asked herself.
Pinkie had never seen a smile in her family EVER!.
That night Pinkie was up late looking out the window, "My family will smile one day. And I Pinkamina Dian Pie pledge to never rest until my family smiles." Pinkie said with a big grin on her face as she looked up at the mare in the moon.
Pinkie Pie fell asleep that night with a smile, knowing that, no matter what happened, she one day, would make her family smile.
