Mystery Mint's Cutie Mark Story (And some other Characters)

Blueberry Cake pulled out a batch of cupcakes out from her oven. They were warm and moist. She flapped her wings cool them off.

"I can't wait to eat these!" She exclaimed, setting them down on the counter to cool some more. There was a sudden knock on the door as she pulled her hooves away from the cupcakes.

"I wonder who that could be," Blueberry commented. She trotted to the door and opened it. Three fillies stood in the doorway.

"Hi, Blueberry Cake!" They exclaimed. Blueberry smiled.

"Hi there! Aren't you Applejack's, Rarity's, and Rainbow Dash's sisters?" She asked. The filly in the middle nodded.

"I'm Apple Bloom, and these are Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo," she replied in a cowgirl accent, gesturing to her companions.

"My sister Rarity sent us to you because we wanted to learn about fashion!" The unicorn filly, Sweetie Belle, piped up. "She said you had a different way of designing."

"She's absolutely right," Blueberry responded. "Come on in!" She led the fillies into her studio.

"I take plain white dresses and turn them into pretty dresses," Blueberry explained. "I don't start from scratch, like Rarity does."

"This one dress looks like a muffin!" Apple Bloom pointed out, rushing up to a blue and brown dress with muffin earrings.

"I do enjoy making dessert related dresses," Blueberry admitted, brushing her hoof over a mint green dress with dark brown flecks.

"And your Cutie Mark is a cupcake!" Apple Bloom noticed excitedly.

"Well, it's my special talent," Blueberry responded.

"Cool!" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle chorused.

"You're a dessert tester?" Scootaloo asked excitedly. Blueberry laughed at the notion.

"Wouldn't that be fun?" She asked. "No, it isn't. I think I'll tell you my Cutie Mark story, if you want."

"Yeah!" The three fillies exclaimed together, plopping down on the floor. Blueberry smiled.

"Alright! When I was a filly, I didn't live in Ponyville. I lived in Las Pegasus...

"And I was a typical fanfilly. Always imitating the latest Applewood stars, dressing up in cute dresses, you know, that stuff. My dream was to be a movie star!

"I bet you wouldn't guess, but I hung out with a lot of colts as a filly. I begged my parents to move into another neighborhood, one with more fillies, but they wouldn't hear it. Anyway, I hung out with colts. I felt determined to differentiate myself from them, which is part of the reason I was a fanfilly. I had no interest in becoming a tomcolt. They didn't understand my interest with Applewood and movie glamour, but they were good friends. They supported me.

"One day, they told me some life-changing news! There was going to be a new movie, Cupcakes and Sprinkles, that needed filly roles! I immediately asked my parents if I could try out. They said I could, and my friends went with me to auditions.

I wore a really pretty outfit, and I was sure I would get a role as a supporting character or something else!

"But I was only offered a role as an extra! I was so disappointed! Some of my friends tried to console me, and told me it had been a long shot anyway. It didn't really help. But, right as I was about to sign my name on the extras' list, the director came up to me. One of my friends had told him I had a flair for design, and he offered me a role as Junior Assistant Costume Designer. That meant I could stay off set and watch costumes be made.

"I loved fashion as much as I loved movies, so I immediately said yes! It was so amazing! I got to watch the Costume Designer make outfits, and she let me make my dress with extra fabric!

"Lots of ponies commented on my dress, saying they liked it and such. Even my colt friends were impressed. I realized that I had a talent for dress making! And then my Cutie Mark appeared that night. As tribute to the movie that helped me realize my talent, I often make cupcake and dessert themed dresses."

"That was so excitin'!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

"Yeah, but if you loved movies so much why'd you go backstage instead of being an extra?" Sweetie Belle asked. Blueberry shrugged.

"I was a young filly. You think differently when you're younger."

"You mean, when I'm older, I won't think Rainbow Dash is the coolest pony ever?" Scootaloo asked with widened eyes. Blueberry quickly shook her head.

"No, that's not what I sai-"

"WE'RE GONNA GET BRAINWASHED!" Sweetie Belle yelled.

"RUN!" Scootaloo screamed. The three fillies bolted out the door.

"Wait, girls!" Blueberry called, rushing up to her door. The fillies were already way down the road. Blueberry smiled.

"I wonder if I acted that way as a filly," she commented, before getting some icing out of the cupboard. "It's cupcake time!"
