My Second chance

“I’m here to talk to her. I finished my job at the library and wanted someone to talk to.”

“You work at the library? Ah thought that’s was Twilights job?” She tilted her head and cocked an eyebrow, clearly confused.

“It is. I have to work there in exchange for living there. I didn’t have a place to stay when I got here, and she was nice enough to give me housing.”

“Well, if you get sick o’ twilight, you could always stay with me and mah family.”

“That’s very kind of you Applebloom, but I’m more like twilight than you think. We both love to read, and we both love science.”

“You like science? Ah expected you to play sports, or do lots o’ hard work?” If I had kept saying unexpected things her face might have permanently looked confused.

“Yes, I love science. What I do, however, is hard work. I am a veterinarian.”

“A veti-what now?” I didn’t think she could look more confused than when I said I liked science, but clearly I was wrong. If she had turned her head anymore I would have thought she snapped her neck.

“A veterinarian. I pretty much do what Fluttershy does, except I work on severely wounded animals. I take animals that would die and save their lives. I wanted to do that since I was young.”

“Then why is your cutie mark an infinity symbol. Ah would expect you to have something relating ta animals.”

“Applebloom, my cutie mark, I have no idea what I means, and I don’t want to talk about it right now. When I figured it out I will tell you” I was dead serious.

“But Helix, Ah still need mine. Maybe listening about yours will help me get mine. Ah don’t want to be a blank flank forever.”

“Applebloom, if you just keep doing what you do, you will get yours in no time. Just be yourself, and everything will be as it should. You will be exactly who your supposed to be.”

“Thanks Helix! Hey, Ah’m going to go try and get my cutie mark with my friends. Want to come with?”

“Sure, I have nothing better to do.” I should have said no. I wouldn’t have had to endure the heart attacks that are the CMC.
