20 years ago, the mane 6 were well known. 20 years ago, the crusaders were without marks. 20 years later, they made a memory book.

20 years after school. The crusaders are wanting to renew old memories from the past, set in an AU or the future, whatever you call it.

Meanwhile, Silver and Diamond are done for, unless..

Memories

"Were the toughest little...ponies in town.." Sweetie belled sung quietly, crying a bit, "Got the moves got the mojo...no harder working ponies around...we are a trio..." That's when she really cried, "Work as a team..." Her singing was covered by her sobs. The crusaders had just broken up a day ago, and Sweetie didn't know what to do. Her elder sister Rarity calm over, patting Sweets head.

"Easy, Belle...its okay, darling....everythings gonna be fine, take a deep breath." She did so, "Good girl...now, I know your upset, but I'm sure you'll have your little group back soon..." Sweetie then yelled outta no where,

"No Rarity! You don't know that at all! A fights a fight, nobody can fix that." Rarity stuttered a few buts, but Sweetie stormed out. She sighed, singing the song sadly, "Were the toughest little..ponies in town...Got the moves got the mo-jo..no harder workin ponies around...We are a....(Together in separate places) Trio....work as a team...well be the first ponies out on the.,.flag waving scene...."

Sweetie sighed, trotting off. The fight was bad, they argued and called eachother names. They even acted like brats...like Diamond Tiara

Quite strange.

"When we put our minds together...we can achieve...were the Cutie mark crusaders, and we should believe....we've got determination..to reoresent the nation...for the win.." Applebloom sung sadly, holding back her sobs. She really missed the team, thinking about them as she sat down under an apple tree. It was horrible. She kicked them both. "How could ah..ah never meant ta! It was jus' a stupid argument!" She kicked the tree in frustration, an apple falling on her head, "Oww!" She shrieked.

Pain wasn't gonna stop her from saying sorry. It was like she was trapped in unending tunnels, until she said something and spoke up. Her family couldn't help, and she just needed alone time to think. Of course, her thinking session was just another silly thing to Applebloom. She wasn't gonna cry, no fear, no pain could stop her from saying something and speaking up.

Yea, she was going to apologize. But how? She thought, clueless. She can't just call up a club meeting, or can she? It was weird thinking like this but AB didn't care

Huh, she felt like Silver Spoon..

"We've got hearts, as strong as horses. And were playing the win, as we galop to glory, we can conquer any challenge were in. Weve got hearts...hearts strong as hor-ses." Scoots sighed, flaring her wings as she rode on her scooter in random directions. She couldn't fly, and AB insulted her...great..

"I don't get it!! This is so frustrating! Gah!!" She ran her scooter into a bucket, falling over and getting up. She dusted herself off, groaning and sighing. It was frustration and anger taking her over, she had said very personal things about her friends meanly to them, and she regret every second.  The fight was stupid, and she felt lije she wanted to commit suicide. Scoots couldn't do that though, that was crazy.

It was stupid and crazy. So was this session. "I hate this! Why can't I just say sorry.." She sighed, "I'm such an idiot, girls, please come back to me..." She cried, but a blue blur then flew up to her.

"Squirt, are you alright, squirt?" Scoots chuckled at that voice. It was Rainbow. She had been adopted as Rains sister.

"I'm just...sad me and my friends are done....I want us to get together again but that would just be weird..." Rainbow looked at Scoot, landing. She smiled, eyeing her.

"Look, squirt, I know how hard this is, I understand. I once got in a huge fight with Soarin, and we didn't talk for a month. Until one of us decided to be the voice of memory. So we got out the greatest memory we found amd shared, it brought us together." Scoot put her head up, wiping her tears.

"So your s-saying...memory is t-the way to g-get rid of my pa-pain?" Rainbow nodded, flying off as two ponies trotted up.

"Follow." Scoot said to them, heading off.

When they arrived, they saw it. The crusader clubhouse. Sweetie Belle stormed up there, smiling. "Dusty, but ah think ah can fix it." Bloom stated, chuckling. Scootaloo laughed along with Sweetie. "So whyd y'all bring us here?"

"Remember the time when we got our marks, became the cutie mark friends." They nodded. "Its the best memory I've seen, what about you?"

"I remember when Applebloom got her head stuck in the honey jar." Sweetie chuckled, "It was so funny watching you run around bumping into stuff."

"Yea.." Applebloom smiled. "But the best day is when we sang that song...and when we performed at the games...That was the best, I still remember the song. Were the toughest little, ponies in town, got the moves got the mojo. No harder working ponies around, we are a trio, work as a team. We'll be the first ponies out on the flag waving scene!"

Sweetie then smiled, "Oh yea! And this: When we put our minds together, we can achieve, were the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and we should believe. Weve got determination, to represent the nation, for. The. Win!"

Scoots sighed happily, singing: "We've got hearts, as strong as horses, and were playing the win, as we gallop to glory. We can conquer any chalkenge were in. Weve got hearts! Hearts strong as horses." The laughed, singing the last oart together. "That. Was. Awesome!" Scoots laughed, hoofbumping them.

"Its pretty amaxing what memories can do." Sweets said, hugging them.

"I guess your right about that, Sweetie. Its not anything but heart. Nothing can tear us apart, ever girls. Nothing. Not even the worst of things, we will be alright if we stick together. Even if were not beside eachother, we know we always got somebody to help. We are one of friendship

I know it seems hard, but our power is one, with 3, 2, 4, or anything! Are you with me!" Applebloom cheered.

The girls laughed, hugging. It was nice. Now, you may be wondering. Where are our heros today? Well, out on adventure of course. Everfree, mountains, canterlot, anywhere they could be, they are together.

Diamond scowled at Silver, "I hate my life, I swear. Those crusaders are ruining me! Ugh..I just wanna...wanna...UGHH!!!!!" She scowled. Silver looked at her worried.

"Tiara...it's not their fault..they have friends because they're nice, not popular! I mean...you can't break up friends like that." She smiled weakly, Diamond gagging.

"Barf in my mouth! It's like your one of those idiots, now about the breaking up part? I could do that! They got back together, oddly. I mean, That scooter-riding freak stole Rumble from me! It's like with me: Rumble and Diamond sitting in a tree.." She said dreamily, but somebody coughed.

"P-U-K...I-N-G." It was Rumble, he snorted digusted. "Diamond, we are NEVER gonna be together, Ev-er!! You gotta accept that. You are mean, rude, and a complete brat! This is why nobody likes you anymore, you treat everyone like servants, especially Silver Spoon." He pointed at Silver, who looked down.

"I g-guess you do treat me like a servant sometimes, Tiara.." She sighed. "I don't wanna work for you anymore....Your a snob, I don't even know what our marks mean! A spoon TIARA, a damn spoon! What does it mean, that I'm a sugar-spoon? Your only talent is being mean, and the only reason I'm doing it is because I'm following your footsteps! I don't wanna be mean..." She sobbed, walking away, sighing.

Silver had bumped into the clubhouse, hearing giggling and chatting. She sighed, walking up the creaking steps quietly and knocking on the door. Sweetie Belle answered, "Ye- Oh, you. What?" Scoots scowled, looking through the doorway. Silver had tears in her eyes. "Are you...crying?"

"Y-yes! I hate Tiara, I hate her! I hate my cutie mark, I hate the past, I HATE IT ALL!" She sobbed. Sweetie brought her inside, the rain soaking the floor. "I realized that my cutie mark didn't mean anything, I think Tiara is just jealous that you could be whatever...I followed cause I didn't have any friends..." She cried more, Scoots noticing a cut.

"Did you...?" Spoon nodded. She had cut herself out of rage with a knife, she had no control over herself. Sweetie looked down, "Sorry.." She quietly mumbled, "I'm sorry we thought you did it on purpose. We never knew how lonely you were..or even noticed you. We just sat in here carelessly, never thinking anything that happened. I think you came to the right place, Silver." She and Silver smiled weakly.

"Thank..you..guys. I don't know what to say." She cried in joy and hugged them. They were a bit shocked, but smiled and hugged back.

It was nice to have real friends.

Silver knew.

Spoon had gone home, telling her mother she wasn't gonna hang out with Diamond anymore. Her mother nodded, sighing and calling up Filthy Rich .

"Rich residents, who is this?" The butler said.

"Get Filthy Rich on the phone, now." He nodded, telling his boss and sighing.

"Hello, Mrs. Spoon.." He sighed

"My daughter has just informed me of such. Something has caused her to not want to hang out with your daughter."

"What!?"

"Yes, she says she's hanging out with another group."

"Alright, I'll inform Diamond of this right away." He sighed, hanging up. "DIAMOND!" He yelled through the halls, Diamond coming up.

"Yes daddy?" She asked quietly.

"Why is Silver not wanting to be friends with you?!"

She gulped, "I don't know Daddy! She just started yelling at me and-" He gave her a look, "Fine! She was mad at me for bullying and Rumble told our friendship off! Please don't be mad at any of us, if anything it's my fault." Filthy sighed.

"No sweetie...I'm not mad, just very disappointed. You should know better, but I'm not gonna punish you.. Go." He sighed.

"Dad.."

"I SAID GO! BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!!" She scurried off to her room, sighing. Diamond cried in her pillow.

"What have I done...stupid mark..I need peace.." She then looked at the scissors on her shelf. "NO.....I can't..." She sighed, crying herself to sleep.

"Dear, why art thy crying?" Luna smiled, putting a hoof on the pink mares shoulder. "Thou need to take a breath, and think." Diamond looked up, tearing up. She sighed. "Think. Thou can fix this. Tis not going to be easy. But thou need to know I'm not so easy in life either."

"Really?" Diamond looked up, confused.

"When I came back from being Nightmare Moon, it took a while for some to get used to me. I was still feared. But I realized that's the fun of it! Thou can make friends by apologizing and having actual fun." She smiled, "Wake up." Diamond blinked twice, waking up. She knew what to do.

Tiara knocked on the clubhouse door, coming in quick. "I need to talk to you four.." They looked confused, "Sorry for what I did in the past, it was mean of me....I don't even know what my talent is..I guess I was.." She gulped and mumbled, "Jealous.." They smiled.

About the 6. They are off on missions. Far away, facing fears, being good, fighting, smiling, laughing. Like the new 5.
