How Did You Get Your Cutie Mark?

High Spirits

"Okay! Ready for my cutie mark story? I'm telling you, it's a doozy! I'm so happy to be talking to you!" Sweetie Belle couldn't help wondering if the yellow Pegasus dancing around her was related to Pinkie Pie, she wouldn't sit still. High Spirits had been the next pony they had encountered on the way to Ponyville.

"Alright, tell us!" Apple Bloom exclaimed impatiently. High Spirits blew her coral mane up.

"Alright! I'll start! It was way back in Cloudsdale...

"My friend Merry May and her brother Cerulean Skies were playing with me in Cloudsdale. Cerulean had been trying to cheer up Merry May, but nothing was working. When I came over, I was so full of energy, and I challenged them to a game of tag. Merry May forgot her trouble and she and Cerulean began to play with me!

"While we were playing, Cerulean told me that I had lots of energy, and that was a good thing. I realized that was true, and I totally realized I could use my enthusiasm to cheer up others and help others!

"At that moment, Merry May yelled and pointed at my flank. I had my cutie mark of two clouds!

"I didn't see a lot of Merry May and Cerulean. They moved to Ponyville, and, wait! I'm here! So I can totally visit them! Won't that be a surprise!"

"Thanks!" Apple Bloom called as High Spirits excitedly flew off.

"That wasn't a doozy," Scootaloo commented.

"Always the critic," Sweetie Belle remarked. Scootaloo sighed.

"What do you think counts as a doozy?" She asked. Sweetie Belle thought for a moment.

"Something big?" She suggested. Scootaloo rolled her eyes.

"Why is everypony out in the woods?" She asked. "Let's hurry to the Market. I'm sick of being here."

"Alright," Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom agreed. Scootaloo flipped her wings and led Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom to town.
