Papillon.

Rainy sat on the cloud, looking pretty bored. School was out for the day, due to it being spring break and she was more bored then normal. She watched the ponies of the town and then spotting three teenagers, coming out of Sugar Cube Corner. One seemed oddly familiar to her.

''It can't be, can it?'' she asked, narrowing her eyes to see better.

One of the teenagers was a cream earth pony with a red mane, which had a pink ribbon attached to it. Her eyes appeared to be orange, one of the two apple family eye colors. Another one was a marshmallow unicorn with stylish mane and tail, which was pink and purple, with more purple then pink oddly and green eyes. And the last was a small winged orange pegasus with a pinkish-purple mane with violet eyes. Her wings were small due to being deformed.

''Aunt Scootaloo.'' she gasped.

She flapped her wings at top speed, which was dangerous. And she flew down to Scootaloo. She landed on Scootaloo's back and hugged her neck, surprising the mare.

''Uh, Scoots, who's this?'' asked Sweetie Belle, looking down at the filly.

Scootaloo didn't answered, instead she looked at the filly and grinned. ''Oh Celestia, Rainy, you know how to scare a mare, don't ya? Rainbow been teaching you well?''

''Nope, it was mommy.'' came her answer, though not the one Scootaloo had expected. How did Pinkie teach her. But oh well.

''Scootaloo, who is this?'' asked Sweetie Belle again, annoyed that she had been ignored.

''Oh sorry, Sweets. This is Confetti Rain, my honorary niece and she's Rainbow's and Pinkie's oldest daughter, and big sister to Bullet.''

''Oh.'' said Applebloom. ''Shouldn't we go meet our sisters and nieces, or nephew in Scoot's case.''

''Alright.'' said Scootaloo.

''Um, Applebloom, can you tell Rarity that I'm staying with Scoots for a bit, so I can learn more about Confetti here?''

''Ah can, but why?''

''..Well...'' the unicorn began blushing, glancing awkwardly at her marefriend.

''Oh, ah see. See ya later then.''

''Bye.'' waved her friends.

Applebloom walked off, with a smile.

''Hey, Auntie Scoots? Can I show you something?''

''What, kid?'' asked Scoot, using a pet name for her niece.

Rainy grinned, and flew off of Scootaloo's back. She stayed in the air for a second, before moving on hoof below her pendent, she smiled and the pendent began shimmering like it had when she was born. A couple of white clouds appear and begin spitting rain.

''Now, that's cool.'' said Scootaloo, with a smile. ''Hey, would you look at that?''

Rainy blinked, but then noticed something on her formerly light blue flank, a cutie mark of a rain drop like the mark on her hoof, meaning her talent in rain making and it happen to make her brightly smile.

''My cutie mark!''

She landed and began bouncing all over the place, until she heard a mocking gabbling sound. It was Jade and Bling.

''Wow, that is a amazing cutie mark. A freaking raindrop is your talent, how cliche.'' mocked Jade.

''Oy, leave my niece alone.'' said Scootaloo. ''Sure her talent is cliche, but it's special and if you don't get the hell out of her, I'll make your pathetic talent vanish.''

Jade growled, but she and Bling left almost instantly. Scootaloo smirked before glancing down at the blue filly.

''Who are those two?'' she asked, sitting down and putting a wing around the filly, somehow considering it was only just double the size of Rainy's.

''Jade Stone and Bling Bong, their the younger sister or brother of Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon.''

''And I suppose they bully you?''

''Right.'' nodded Rainy.

Sweetie Belle walked up to the pair and said. ''Me and Scoot were bullied at your age too, before our cutie marks appeared.''

''Really? But your talents were obvious?''

Scootaloo smiled and motioned for her niece to come into Sugar Cube Corner and to sit down. Pinkie looked briefly confused about why her daughter was here, but swayed it off to focus on the amount of customers, the line almost went out of the door.

''We're gonna tell you about the story of the CMC, you know mine, Sweetie's and Bloom's group?''

''Yea..''

''Good. Well, us there meet at Diamond Tiara's cute-ceanéra, which you likely to get one considering you mother is the party planner, and well, noticing we were all blank flank we formed a group known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, after that me and Sweetie moved into Ponyville Elementary and we became pretty close friends. But all we did was do a random amount of stuff in hopes our marks would appear.''

''Instead of focusing on our true talents, which we knew but we didn't believe in them.'' continued Sweetie Belle. ''But by the time, we entered the 5th grade we have particular given up and began focusing on learning skills properly. Shortly after that, we all gain our talents because of realizing them.''

Sweetie Belle glanced down at her cutie mark, a note with sparkles symbolizing two abilities, magic and singing though she focused more on singing and she was the lead singer in the CMC's band which travel around Equestria. Scootaloo also looked down at her cutie mark; a scooter symbolizing her acrobatic skills on it, and to her, she prefer scootering to flying. Applebloom's cutie mark; a paintbrush coming out of a potion bottle which symbolized two talents like Sweetie's but in this case, it was design and potion-making and she would make paint via her second skill.

Scootaloo smiled, and continued talking. ''I earned my cutie mark.....''

Scootaloo was scootering around the town, as her mom had asked her to get some ingredients for dinner. She saw a upcoming plank and grinned. She jolted out her wings, which made a buzz sound, and flap them quickly boosting her speed. She ran right over the plank, and smiled.

''Woohoo!''

''Nice scootering you got their, Scoot.'' said her honorary sister, Rainbow Dash.

''Thank you, Rainbow Dash!''

''Your welcome, little sis.'' said Rainbow. ''Maybe your special talent is scootering.''

''Scootering?''

Scootaloo thought about it, yea she was good at scootering. Maybe it was her special talent.

''Hey, would you look at that?'' Rainbow smiled.

Scootaloo blinked, before glancing down at her glowing flank. When the light faded, there was a cutie mark; a scooter. Rainbow was right.

''My cutie mark, at last!''

''Way ta go, little sis.''

''Rainbow helped me get my cutie mark, so I wasn't surprised when you earned you cutie mark around me.'' she said.

''Daddy helped you earn your mark?''

''Yep, your turn, Sweets.''

Sweetie blushed but nodded. ''Well, Rainy. I got my cutie mark only shortly after Scootaloo and Twilight Sparkle was the one, who helped me.''

Twilight Time had just begun for the week, and Scootaloo was showing off her new mark. Sweetie Belle smiled. Twilight and Rarity were watching them, Twilight stood up and walked over to them.

''Sweetie Belle, weren't you gonna put on a show?''

''Oh right!'' she gasped.

Sweetie Belle's horn began glowing in it's fine green aura, grabbing a microphone. She stood on a pre-made stage, Rarity smiled. She was there to watch her sister, and to help Twilight with some royal duties. Sweetie Belle began singing, in the finest voice she could manage.

Love is in the air.

Circling all around,

but many can't see it so!

I'm here to show it.

Have you ever fallen in love?

Or meet somepony special?

Even if you haven't, you must know somepony who

has!

Love is in the air, circling all around.

Even if you can't see it, you should know it's

there!

Everypony began clapping for the young filly, who blushed. She was so embarrassed that she never saw the flash which erupted from her flank, until Twilight walked over and smiled, Rarity too walked over and pointed at the flash.

''Would you look at that?'' said Rarity.

''What?'' mumbled Sweetie Belle until she saw the mark on her flank; a note with sparkles. ''My cutie mark!''

She began bouncing around the two mares, yelling. 'Yes! Yes! Yes!'. Applebloom and Scootaloo congratulated and hugged their friend, but Sweetie could see a cloud of sadness in Bloom's eyes, she was the last like the rest of the apples.

Sweetie Belle smiled to herself, her friends had been proud that day but as much as Applebloom tried to hide it, she clearly was sad about the fact that she was the last member of the group to earn her mark.

''Sweets, why don't we head over to Sweet Apple Acres, to meet Applejack and Rarity and then let Applebloom tell Rainy about her cutie mark story, while we tell the twins.''

''Alright.'' nodded Sweetie.

The same sort of thing was happening over at Sweet Apple Acres, by the time the group arrived. Applebloom was just standing up from tell the twins, how she earn her cutie mark. Applebloom was smiling, then she turned and saw her fillyhood friends.

''Hey, guys.'' she said. ''I suppose you been telling Confetti about your cutie mark stories. Well that's a good thing, you tell the twins about yours. They need to learn how to earn their marks whilst I tell Confetti.''

''Alright.'' said the mares, who went and sat down with Harm and Mel, whilst Rainy and Bloom sat down together on the dirt. Bloom smiled down at the young pegasus.

''You remind me of Scootaloo sometimes...'' she mumbled. ''I'm trailing off topic. Well, I was the last of my class to earn my mark. I had gone over to Zecora, the zebra who lives in the everfree forest.....''

''Zecora, why must I be the last of my class to earn my mark?'' she complained, whilst crushing some blueberries.

''Your frustration is well understood, but you must wait for all things good.'' rhymed Zecora, who gently put a droplet of everfree water into the crushed blueberry mix.

The mix turned dam and it slowly formed blue paint, which made Applebloom smile. She looked at the wooded cart which Applejack had asked her to paint, she grabbed a paintbrush carefully and soaked it for a second in the newly made paint.

She added a couple of fresh layers of paint, which dried almost instantly. Potion paint was a bit different from normal paint, as it could dry at high speeds, and it helped. She grabbed a crushed orange paint mix, and added the orange paint for design. She was so wrapped up in her job that she never noticed the cutie mark, which appeared on her flank; a paintbrush coming out of a potion bottle.

''Well, little Applebloom. Your patient had brought you a great gift, which had just bloomed.'' said Zecora, with a smile on her white and grey features.

Applebloom froze, mainly in attempt to figure out what Zecora said. But when she figured it out, she glanced down at her flank and gasped in delight. Her cutie mark at finally appeared, and it was worth waiting for.

''It truly was worth waiting for, my long dream had come true.'' said Applebloom, heart fully. She was smiling, like she was truly proud of something which she was.

''It was alright, even though the Apple Family were commonly late, Applebloom's didn't follow the tradition but she was late so it was worth waiting for. Oh yea, you might wanna look at the twins flanks.'' said Scootaloo, walking over to them with Sweetie and the twins.

The twins giggled, and turned around showing their new cutie marks; both notes but Harm had one note whilst Mel had two. They had earned them with the help of their Auntie Sweetie, and their pendents which had the ability to turn into an instrument.

Harm glanced at Mel, who nodded. The pair gripped hold of their pendents and throw them in the air, Harm's pendent changed into a flute while Mel's turned into a harmonic. The girls grabbed them and began playing, the noise was a beautiful sound and it brought along something with it. Bookworm, who had something to show the girls, walked into the farm when she heard the song. She smiled, and walked over to the group.

''Girls!'' she yelled.

The group looked at the young alicorn and smiled.

''What is it, Bookie? You gotta date with Freshy?'' asked Rainy, with a grin.

''N-no!.... But I have something to show you.''

''What is it, Darling?'' said Harm, attempting her mother's cantorlot like voice.

Bookie smiled, and turned to her side. There on her cream flank was a cutie mark; a book which was open emitting a glow and sparkles. The group gasped, and ran over to their friend.

''Wow, is you talent related to spell books?'' asked Mel.

''Yea...I earned it from finding a spell book using my pendent which can locate books as well as summon books, much like yours can do random things related to your names.'' she said, holding her book pendent.

The group smiled, and hugged each other. At least till randomly, Dizzy ran over and yelled at the top of her lungs, literally.

''DOES ANYPONY HERE REMEMBER ME!? AND SECOND, PONYVILLE IS HOLDING THE SUMMER SUNS CELEBRATION IN A FEW WEEKS!''

''Ow!'' growled Rainy, before shooting daggers at the dizzy eyed unicorn.

''The summer suns is happening here this year?'' asked Scootaloo, she could remember the last summer suns that Ponyville held.

''Yep, and ya know what I can't freaking wait for it!''

''Maybe you could if you stopped yelling.'' growled Rainy.

The group managed to hold down bickering though, by managing to stop Dizzy from yelling everything she said. But little did anypony know was a shadow was floating around them, and it appeared to make a giggle noise.

A mare sat in a dark cave, watching the fillies through a crystal ball. She was grinning evily. The mare was a dark grey, so dark that it was almost black. Her mane was a blood red, and actually was dripping with blood. The mare's eyes were a deathly orange, and she had fangs.

''So, I have finally found the reincarnation of the Papillon, but these foals seem weak so they shouldn't be too hard to keep away from me.''

She got up, and walked into the darkness but not before laughing out loud. ''Just you wait, Papillon.''
