Dear Babs,
That's great news! Were so happy that you got your cutie mark. None of us have are cutie marks yet. But we have tried alot of things this week, Easter egg designers, basket weavers and chocolate makers. But none of us even got a sign! They all ended in disasters! We wish we could figure it out like you. Thanks for the advice as well. Spike and Dinky say hi as well. That's the name of the two new Ponyville Cutie Mark Crusaders. You might know Spike. But when you met him he was a dragon so you probably don't remember him. Dinky doesn't remember you either so you will meet her when you come up for Easter. Also when you come up I hope you bring a picture of your new friend. Does she have a cutie mark? If so what is it? I hope she does so she can give us advice. I know we sound kind of desperate but I think we really need help if we want to find them as soon as possible.
Congratulate your sister but we met Wetzel at the Apple Family Reunion. He was that pretzel salespony. Also Applejack wants to tell Apple Bumpkin to mind her own business and keep her muzzle in her own business. In regards to what we should do when you come in two weeks. We don't know if we will have our cutie marks yet but if we do we can go around ponyville helping others with are special talents! But if we still don't have them then we can keep trying to find them and you can help us come up with ideas. Also we want to introduce you too Sweetie Belle's sister Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Spike's Mom Twilight Sparkle. Really Spike's mom is Princess Twilight Sparkle the alicorn! Can't wait to see you!
See you soon.
Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Spike, and Dinky
P.S This is from Applejack to Apple Bumpkin. Please keep you flank out of my business without me working on the farm we would barley get by. I don't have time to go colt hunting. Besides I have no interest in looking for a special somepony. So please keep you muzzle in your fancy fru-fru wedding planning.
P.P.S Were going to enclose a picture of the latest group of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Also we wanted to add the latest attempts of finding our cutie mark even thought they ended in failures, surfing, landscaping, flower planning, skydiving, cooking, serving food, stargazing, mapmaking and karate. We hope you can give us some better ideas!
Why Can't We Figure It Out?
"I can't believe it! My cousin has her cutie mark but none of us can find ours!" Applebloom said exasperated.
"Calm down AB, we'll find them eventually. We're just not looking hard enough" Scootaloo said in reply.
"We could try to follow Babs advice" Dinky told them.
"But what does it mean we can't figure it out" Sweetie Belle said in reply.
"Guys I've told you I think I understand" Spike said "I think she meant to do things we enjoy or what we're good at"
"Well were good at trying to find our cutie marks" Scootaloo said "WHAT IF THAT'S OUR CUTIE MARKS"
"Umm I don't think so" Dinky said. Sighing the five ponies approached the Ponyville library, Spikes home, and entered. Dropping their bags on the floor and taking out their homework they began to work on the floor. Not too long after they began they heard the sound of someone running down the stairs. Looking up they saw Spike's mom, Twilight Sparkle, running down the stairs in a hurry.
"Hi Spike and Spike's friends, Im looking for a book. Have you happened to see one with a red cover and a picture of a potion?"
"Nope Mom, have you checked in your office at Canterlot?" Spike asked. Without responding Twilight teleported out of the room and the crusaders went back to their work. Soon they were looking through the books in the library involving cutie marks. Every time the found something interesting they would shout it across the room.
"Did you know that the average time to get a cutie mark is between the ages of eight and sixteen" Sweetie said as she read.
"Well in here it says that you have probably experienced getting a cutie mark two times because many ponies find their special talent but don't figure it out. Do you think it could have happened to us?" Scootaloo said.
"Possibly" Spike said "Wait in this book it says that some ponies don't EVER get their cutie marks"
"Well we'll find them. I swear we will. Ya now why?" Applebloom said.
"We are persistent?" Dinky said.
"We don't know when to stop?" Spike said.
"No, its cause were they Cutie Mark Crusaders" Applebloom said. Right after she finished saying this statement Twilight teleported back inside the house. But this time she had a book with.
"Guys, its nearly seven!" Twilight cried "Im surprised your sisters haven't tried to contact me yet! Now go home"
Groaning the crusaders got up saying good-bye to Spike except for Dinky who lingered.
"Dinky, are you going to go home?" Twilight asked.
"Umm well Im not sure my home will be there" Dinky said.
Sighing Twilight walked over and whispered something to Dinky's before turning to Spike and saying "Walk Dinky home dear". Nodding Spike walked out of the library with Dinky and headed in the general direction Dinky normally headed in.
"So what did you mean by your house disappearing?" Spike asked her.
"Oh umm" Dinky said obviously trying to figure out what to say "I meant that sometimes I get lost along the way"
"How can you get lost on the way to your house?"
"I have a bad memory"
"OK then. I've never asked but do you have any other family besides you mom and dad?"
"Huh, oh no, well I mean my mom could be pregnant but I don't know anything about it. Do you have any other family?'
"No. All the family I really have is my mom and here family"
"Did you ever know your..... dragon mother?"
"Nope, my mom hatched me when I was an egg and the Princess didn't know either. She hadn't even known that I had been a dragon egg"
"That must have been awkward. Not knowing that one of the students would be opening a dragon egg"
"Yeah I guess. But the funny thing was, that right after hatching me Twilight grew me to the size of a full grown dragon" This caused a laugh between the pair.
"That's my house up ahead. Im glad it's here. I mean im glad I didn't get lost. You must be a good luck charm Spike" Dinky said laughing. But if Dinky said anything else Spike didn't hear. He was to busy looking at what Dinky called a house. It looked like a small blue box and the fact that three ponies lived there was just unimaginable. He followed Dinky up to the door. She knocked before she turned around back to Spike.
"Thanks for walking home with me. So I'll see you tomorrow or on Monday" she said as though she wanted him to leave before she went inside. He was about to turn around before he saw a heavily impregnated Derpy at the door.
"Hey Muffin how was your day?" Derpy asked "I see you brought one of you friends home is it the one you have a-"
"Hey mom. My day was great but im really tired so Im going to go to bed." she said quickly. "Bye Spike" Dinky said one more time but this time with a heavy blush on her face before rushing inside and closing the door behind her.
"How could she not notice that her mom isn't pregnant. I mean you'd have to blind to not notice it" Spike said to himself as he walked back home, lost in his thoughts.
Author's Note
This chapter is bad no denying it. I hope the next chapter turns out better.
Dear Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and new crusaders
I am just so happy at this moment as I write to you. The minute I got my cutie mark I had to sit down and write to you guys. My parents and sister are all happy for me. Thought my sis says she's more happy about the fact that I'll stop running around the city trying to find out what it will be. So your probably all wondering what it is. Well it looks kinds like a seed. But the outside part of it is peeling off. When I got it I didn't understand exactly how it related to my talent but I eventually figured it out. It represents my ability to get ponies to come out of their 'shell'. If you haven't guessed my cutie is about empathy in a way. My mom says it means that I could be a good therapist or consoler one day.
I got it after I helped the new girl at my school. She was being a bully and seemed sad all the time. I confronted her about her behavior and I was able to get her to tell me about why she was acting this way. It turned out that she was being bullied by her older siblings. Similar to when I was bulling you guys. I told her about my problems with bulling and talked to her about how she could get help. Then a few days later she came up to me and thanked me. I helped her talk to her parents about it and now her siblings had stopped bulling her and they were being sent to some military school or something. I got my cutie mark and I made a new friend. So how are you guys doing. I know you sent me a letter two months ago but I thought I asked if any of you guys had gotten your cutie mark. Also say hi to the new crusaders for me. I can't wait to meet them when I come to ponyville during Spring Break. I hope by then if you all have your cutie marks. But it doesn't matter. If you don't I can help you guys come up with new ideas. But the best advice I can give you is to doing something you enjoy or are good at. Who knows what we could do if we all have them. We could just hang out. But what fun is that.
Ever since I got my cutie mark I have been helping others find theirs. I even inducted three members last week. My sister also wants me to add that her coltfriend FINALLY asked her to marry him and to get ready for a wedding.
Best of Luck finding your cutie marks,
Babs Seed
P.S This part is from Babs sister Apple Bumpkin, The date of the wedding is set August 26 this year. It will be at Manehatten Hall. Since you have never met my fiancé, his name is Wetzel. I brought him with me to the last Apple reunion. Please try to look decent when you come. Formal wear is a requirement. I hope you will be able to make it. Also tell your sister if she plans to start a family she better stop bucking apples and start meeting colts!
