It's been a long time coming, but it's time for the Cutie Mark Crusaders (that is Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo) to FINALLY get their cutie marks. But with this mean they remain friends forever? Will there still be Cutie Mark Crusaders once they've all gotten their cutie marks? Well, I suppose to the title gives it a way, but I still think you'll enjoy reading it.

Author's Notes: Ok, so a few chapters in this will be taken directrly from my previous story, The Apple of my Bulls Eye (which i reccommend reading first as well as the other two installments). I had intended to explore more of the CMC in that story, but I ended up being sidetracked by the main story involving the Man Six (specifically the romance between Applejack & Mal and Pinkie Pie & Braeburn, plus Twilight's pregnancy). So I want to tie up some loose ends before I go into working on the further stories of the Mane Six and their future children. This also marks my triumphant return after months and months of hiatus. I hope you enjoy! Becuase the main focus is the CMC, I'm only tagging them and just putting Other and OC along with them. Will include Babs Seed best as I can, but I'm still getting back into the groove of things. Still keep in mind that this is basically an alternate timeline, where Twilight didn't become an alicorn princess. So most of the continutiy is taking place sometime after the Apple Family Reunion episode. I tagged romance just to be safe. Given how my stories go, it's not out of the question.
