As initiation ended, they started working on some project of theirs. "Hey, what are you working on?" I asked. "Oh, this here is our next big project for the pony talent show!" Applebloom stated. "It's tonight!" shouted Sweetie Belle. "And this time:" Scootaloo started up: "WERE GUNNA GET OUR CUTIE MARKS!" they shouted in unison. "Alright, can I help?" I asked. "Sure, you can manage all the technology-thingys." Applebloom offered. "Ok." I said, with a simple reply.

-Later that evening, the day of the talent show-

"Alright, everyone double-check their jobs?" Applebloom said. "I'm for stunts," Scootaloo repeated, "I've got vocals," Sweetie mirrored, "I'm covering tech," I proudly exclaimed, "And I think I did good with construction." Applebloom finished. "Alright, this will work everypony!" said the brave Scootaloo. "Alright, please welcome: The Cutie Mark Crusaders!" The announcer finished. Wow, I have never been this pumped about a chance to earn my cutie mark! I hope for the best. We exit out from the curtains, in very cool costumes  that Sweetie made. 'Get ready!' I told myself. This was about to get hectic. I walked over to a keyboard/other electronics stand where I prepared. Applebloom in the background was getting ready the props and scenery, as Sweetie was given a mic. Scootaloo was born ready, with scooter in-hand. then, one of the most dramatic moments started up. As if fate, everyone was already ready when I accidentally started it. Operation CMC talent-show-winners was a go.

--CMC theme-song: starting off--

I hit note after note, on perfect timing, making sure never to miss a single one. Rule 1 of the crusaders: never screw up your chances of getting a cutie mark! And then Sweetie started singing, and by Celestia, if that wasn't her talent than I don't know what would be.

"~We are the Cutie mark crusaders...We must battle on and on! We'll never stop the journey, it's the call of the cutie mark!

Day after day, we time it right, going on countless expeditions... With confidence and will on our side, we'll fight the battle 'till its won!

I will not stand being a filly with no talent to call my own! We are what we are, chosen by fate, but that doesn't mean we can't be the best! We don't wanna wait to find out who we are! We are the ponies looking for truth... We are the ponies looking for fate... We are the Cutie mark Crusaders.. We must battle on and on! We'll never stop the journey, it's the call *of the CUTIE MARK!***

While she was singing, Applebloom had brought what she was working on earlier. It was a platform, that Sweetie stood on. It suddenly burst to life, Releasing steam and a bunch of lights around her, and she had done some stunts on it too.... Before Scootaloo stole her thunder. Scootaloo was all over, doing tricks through flaming hoops that were... almost real! They were projections by Applebloom. Dang, everything here was done professionally, and done well. Then in the moment that all sang for the final note: "k",a big white flash happened around them. It was the most important, and no-one knew till after the show.

--CMC theme-song: finished--

"Wow Sweetie, you did really well!" I commented. For the big reveal... I checked my flank: there was.... nothing. I turned, but not before knowing what that flash was....... "S-SWEETIE BELLE! YOUR C-C-CUTIE MARK!" I yelped, in absolute joy of my friend's massive achievement! "Wha-" She stuttered, before a shriek of pure joy came, and she looked at it: her cutie mark was a heart with wire wrapped around it, and the wire was attached to a microphone at the side of it all. Quickly, the other girls checked their flanks: sure enough, squeaks of joy came right afterwards. Scootaloo had a rather spiky wing was being chased by a column of flame, probably to represent risk, stunts, courage, or all 3. Applebloom had a crescent wrench and next to it, a turned on light-bulb. "Way to go, guys! this is awesome!" I shouted. "Ya! ...But what is yours?" Applebloom asked. "Actually, it....." I quickly faded into disappointment as it had never shown up, and the others checked. "O-oh..." Sweetie Belle I could tell, was sorry. "Wait, but without us, the only Cutie Mark Crusader in Ponyville left is-" "Me...." I finished Scootaloo's sentence. Man, will this will become a long week...
