A Glimmer from the Past

The next day Starlight went in the classroom. She heard voices talking about her and felt that they were looking at her. It was terrible. She trotted to her table and sat down. Then the teacher came in the classroom: "Good morning my little ponies! Today we talk about cutie marks."Seriously?, Starlight thought, Is this some kind of a bad joke? Don't we have anything better to do?

"Starlight Glimmer? Can you tell me when a pony gets a cutie mark?"

"It gets its cutie mark when it discovers its special talent and finds its destiny."

"Excellent!" Then the teacher started talking.

"Pssst! Starlight!" Jet Set!

"What?"

"Don't you have a special talent? Because you have no cutie mark."

"This again?" Starlight sighed.

"Yes I would like to know !"

"I still haven't figured out what it is."

"Really? Because you are the only one in class without a cutie mark. I think you don't have a special talent."

"Everypony has a special talent", Starlight replied.

"Are you sure? Blank flank forever!", Jet Set said.Starlight rolled her eyes.

"Blank flank, forever!"

" Can you please stop getting on my nerves?"

" Nope! Blank flank forever!" he continued. Starlight became angry.

"Stop It!" she shouted.

"Starlight Glimmer?"

"Shut up!"

"Don't talk to your teacher like that!" Wait what?, Starlight wondered.

" But I didn't mean... ", Starlight began but the teacher interrupted her:

"Go outside and think about your bad behaviour!"

"But I didn't mean you!"
"What are you talking about?",her classmates claimed, " You are a liar. You obviously talked to her!"
"No! What are you talking about? You know what happened. I was talking to Jet Set!", she said feeling tears in her eyes.

"Liar! Liar!"
" I have to believe your classmates. They are the majority. You can go now!" the teacher decided.

"But..." she protested.
"Leave that room this instant! " Starlight ran out of the classroom while tears were running down her cheek.

"This isn't fair!" She went outside the building.

"What isn't fair?", Starlight heard somepony' s voice.

"Huh? Who is there?"

"Just me."
"Who are you?" She turned around and saw a unicorn mare with a weird cutie mark.

"What kind of cutie mark is that?", Starlight asked the stranger.

"Well, it is a broom."

"So your special talent is... cleaning?"

"Yes it's terrible isn't it?"

"You don't like it?"

"Why should I? Do you want that your destiny is being a cleaner?"

"There are ponies who don't like their cutie marks?"
"Yes! I assure you THIS isn't fair! You are lucky that you don't have your cutie mark yet. You could be anything!"

"I can?"
"Yes. Sometimes it is better, if you don't have one or don't have a special talent at all! Oh I have to go! See Ya!" Then she went away.
What a strange pony. I wonder where she came from, Starlight thought, Oh maybe I should go back to. Then she went inside.
