Cutiemark Crisis

Meadow was in her room packing up some of her stuff for Spring Break tomorrow. As her roommate was blabbing about her cutiemark witch was a paintbrush with a spectrum of pain on it.

"I can't believe it! I finally got it! You have no idea how amazing it feels to get your mark. And to finally know you can do something to help contribute to society! Instead of being a worthless pile of manure not being able to value to anything!" Her roommate said, "Anywhoosle I have to go my parents are picking me up today!" And then her roommate picked up her suitcase and left. Meadow blinked and giggled she remembered when she first got her mark the most she said was.

"Meh." She sighed she wished her mark had changed instead she became a blankflank. Meadow blushed and allowed her tail to cover her flank.

'And to finally know you can do something to help contribute to society! Instead of being a worthless pile of manure not being able to value to anything!' Her roommate's voice rang through her head and she closed her two suitcases. And levitated them as she left for the school carriages to take her home.

Meanwhile Binkey and Crepe we're in their school carriages. As theirs stopped in front of their house. They jumped out of the carriage swinging their bags on their bags.

"I'm so glad to see everypony! Bumper's friends said they actually live in Canterlot and French Press is a short jog away! And Spice and Serenity live in a big daisy in the Canterlot garden! Better yet I get to see Star-Studded for more than an episode!" Binkey said as they walked towards the entrance of their house just as the sun set.

"I know! This is gonna be the best week ever!" Crepe said, as he opened the door and let his brother walk inside. He then walked inside himself and shut and locked the door.

"Yeah! Maybe you can finally get your cutiemark." Binkey said as his ears lowered slightly, his brother blinked.

"What?" He said and Binkey gulped,

"Brother. Havent you noticed that fillies and colts around our ages are starting to get their marks? When you six that's the minimum age parents expect you to get your marks. Then when your eight. That's when parents start to consider you a late bloomer and colts and fillies start to question it. Any age older than that parents start to get impatient. And colts and fillies start to make fun of blankflanks. Timidthy is six, Sweet Dreams is seven, French Press and Bumper are eight. Citrus is nine, Serenity and Spice and seven, Blood Bones is six. The tech nerds in order are eight, eight, nine, and five and we are eight. And Meadow she's eight as well and I don't want to make you feel bad brother. But I'm being honest and you need to get your mark. Or else you might start to get bullied, I'm telling you this for your own good. So please brother do something different so you can get your mark!" Binkey said before he ran up to their room leaving his stunned brother to think. Finally Crepe snapped out of it and blushed as he hid his flank. Was it really that important for a pony to get their mark?

The sun had just rose and the royal family we're already having breakfast. Made specially from Princess Celestia, Timidthy's pancakes had soft cream cheese smeared on the top as a fruit face was on it. While Blood Bones's had peanut butter smeared in the top with a fruit face on it. Luna was half-asleep as she simply drank some coffee to get her system to wake. As for Celestia age had pancakes as well,

"It's wonderful to be home! Well.....except for being dragged around like a rag doll but other than that I'm glad." Timidthy said and everypony chuckled.

"They love you Timidthy don't worry when you get older they won't be so clingy." Celestia said making her first son blush,

"So your friend Citrus is coming?" Luna said holding back a yawn.

"Yep! And everypony else too! Our friends made some other friends so there coming over too! But if we make anymore friends I think Pinkie Pie is gonna get jealous." Blood Bones said making his mother and aunt smile while making his brother laugh. Timidthy then covered his mussel and swallowed,

"You did that on purpose." He said realizing why Blood Bones had made that joke.

"Uh-duh! You need to stop acting like such a prince lay back what's mom going to do? Banish us to the moon?" His brother replied, and Celestia and Timidthy smirked while Luna rolled her eye's.

"Good one. But I'd like to argue. She'd probably enslave you two and make you serve her cake." Luna said with a slight giggled,

"Burned." Timidthy said with a snicker while Celestia laughed.

"Good to see we still have our little comedians." She said through her laughs, suddenly every item in the room started shaking.

"Here they come." Blood Bones said just as the doors slammed open and all their friends, new and old, came in.

"HELLO TIM AND BONESY!" Citrus screamed and everypony but Timidthy and Blood Bones covered their ears, the brother's took a deep breath. And in their royal Canterlot voices they said,

"HELLO CITRUS GLAD TO SEE YOU!" And everypony again covered their ears. Timidthy cleared his throat,

"Guess who talked me into doing that." He said nudging his left hoof over to Blood Bones.

"I told you teaching them that was unnecessary." Celestia whispered to Luna who shrugged,

"Well I find it adorable!" Sweet Dreams said as she walked over to Timidthy and wrapped her wing around him.

"Same it's good to hear your voice!" Meadow said as she teleported on top of Blood Bones's back, Bumper ran used his magic to drag Pummel over.

"Tim, this is Pummel. I think it would be great if you talked to him some time." He said as Pummel avoided eye's contact with everypony,

"Hey." He muttered.

"Don't worry he's just shy. First-timer around royalty." Bumper responded, as the rest of his friend's came over and started talking.

"C-Cab w-We pl-pla-play?" Spark said, "Sure!" Blood Bones said. Citrus then slung Timidthy and Blood Bones onto her back,

"Umm.....mom may we be excused?" Timidthy asked and Celestia nodded as Citrus and the rest of their friend's walked out of the castle. The moon had risen as Timidthy and Blood Bones had gotten back to the castle. They started walking back to their room exhausted,

"Nice to see you Prince Blood Bones and Timidthy." Shimmer Sword said.

"Had a good day?" Watchdog said,

"Yep! How's your relationship?" Timidthy asked. Both of the guard's blushed,

"Good we're going to Fillydalfia for a vacation." Shimmer Sword said. Blood Bones opened his mouth to speak but a voice was heard behind him.

"Timidthy!" And everypony turned around to see Crepe he was out of breath and looked to have been crying,

"Can I talk to you?" He said in a whisper and Timidthy wrapped his wing around his friend.

"Of course, brother can you make some hot chocolate?" Timidthy said and Blood Bones nodded,

"Good night." Watchdog said feeling like the prince's would be best at handling this.
