Cutie Mark(ed) Crusaders Prompt Tag Collab

Written by Fluttercheer

The Crusaders came to a halt as they had brought some distance between them and the castle. Now they allowed themselves to trot again. Twilight could be very dangerous if somepony did something to her books and while in the library, they already saw that risky glimmer in her eyes. She could barely hold herself together. But now, they were far away enough.

Scootaloo sent another stone flying. "Great, now Twilight gave us something to do and that turned out as so boring that we started to play with the books instead and now she threw us out and we have nothing to do once again!"

The other two fillies just nodded sadly. "I wish we could have some fun!", Scootaloo said groaning.

"Did I hear fun?", a voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.

In the next second, Discord appeared at their side. Usually they were happy to see him, but now not. They were just sad and so were the looks they gave him. "Oh my, why are you making those faces?" he said, pretended to be shocked.

"Because we don't have anything to do and we're bored," Sweetie Belle answered.

"Oh, bored you say? Let's say if I can't change this!"

By a quick snap with one of his fingers, their cutie marks suddenly got detached from both sides of their flanks and the six symbols floated into Discord's claws.

As they had arrived there, he started to juggle them.

"Hey! Give them back!", Apple Bloom yelled at him.

"Oh, but why would you want that?" he asked. "Didn't you say you want to have some fun?"

"Yes, but that ain't funny!" she replied.

"Yeah, Apple Bloom's right!" Scootaloo added. "Do you really think it would cheer us up to be blank flanks again, or what?!"

Discord's face became pale. "Oh. I suppose that's right."

He snapped his fingers again and their cutie marks appeared back on their flanks where they belonged. All three of them did an instinctive look on their flanks to see if everything was alright.

As they had made sure that their cutie marks were really back, on both sides of their flanks, in the right colors and not suddenly upside down, they sighed relieved.

"I had better laughs than that....." Scootaloo said and crossed her hooves, still miffed by Discord's stupid joke.

"So, where's ya fun now?" Apple Bloom asked provocatively. " Ya claim ta be able ta do something funny for us and now we wanna see if ya really can!" She smirked.

"Oh, most certainly, my dear Apple Bloom!" With these words, Discord snapped his fingers again and when the Crusaders looked around, they couldn't believe their eyes.
