Are Marks All That

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.

Possible Marks

Crepe was now sitting in the royal therapy room. It was a gift Timidthy had gotten from his aunt and mommy a few hours before he had went to his graduation. Of course seeing the room had made Timidthy burst into tears, but now it brought a smile. As soon as he got out of school, since he was grounded for a month, he'd run here and book as many clients that came to him. The room had a bright orange marble floor the shined and glimmered.

Most of it was covered by a rectangular pale yellow carpet. There was a big arm-chair that was a dandelion yellow just like his hair. A few feet from his chair was his patients plush couch it was a tangerine color. As it had pillows and stuffed animals on the it. In front of it was a glass table that had magazines, books, crayons, and plan paper.

Along with a few stress, anger, and nerve relieving items. That we're made to relax after all word's could only push a pony do far. The walls we're a sunset orange as it had little sheep designs pained on it, in the far corner was a bookshelf. The light in room, unlike most, was blue the room hadn't started out like this. He had told him mom and his aunt to put these specific colors in the room.

After all in psychology yellow and orange often made ponies more cheerful. While blue made them feel more relaxed and green well made ponies feel hopeful. Maybe Timidthy's coat color had to do with why ponies believed in him so much? Probably not they most likely liked him for his personality, Timidthy sat in the arm-chair. He then watched as Crepe came in eyeing the new room as he sat on the couch.

Timidthy opened his mouth to speak but as soon as Crepe saw the couch had pillows he grabbed two. He placed one to cover his flank and buried his head in the other one. Timidthy went silent as the gears in his head started to turn. Blood Bones walked in with three hot chocolates. One of them being in a big mug with wipcream he placed in front of Crepe.

The other two just being in regular mugs with no wipcream, Timidthy took one with his magical grasp. While Blood Bones started drinking the one he had,

"Good luck." He said glancing over at Crepe with concern before leaving. Timidthy shut and locked the door with his magic. Before he took a long drink of his hot chocolate and placing it down. Crepe lifted his head and took a drink from his before letting his head lay on the pillow. Timidthy stayed silent knowing the Crepe was trying to organize his thoughts. Finally his friend took a deep breath,

"Tim......have you ever considered me a blankflank?" Crepe said. The Prince eye's widened taken a back from the question.

"Well......in the insult term no.....but in the fact you don't have a mark.....yes." Timidthy said very hesitantly, Crepe sighed as more tears came to his eye's. Timidthy felt a jolt of guilt before levitating a few tissues over to the colt. Crepe tried to steady his breathing. He had never really cried in front of royalty and he didn't want to start now. But still he took the tissues knowing that his emotions were a bit unstable.

"Crepe you mind telling me what brought this on?" Timidthy said,

"M-My brother told me that k-kid's around o-our age are ge-getting their marks. And.....that if I don't have mine by eight year's. Th-Then my parents will start to grow impatient.....a-and that other kid's will start to make fun of me." Crepe whimpered, "I-Is that true?" Timidthy took a deep breath himself and took a sip of his hot chocolate,

"Well......a mark comes when a pony realizes a talent that makes them feel special. And since all you've ever done is bake maybe you need to do something more to get your mark. It's not that you're doing the wrong talent it's that you're not sure whether it's good for you. Am I right?" He said and Crepe nodded as he used the tissues to wipe tears from his eye's. "Okay so....I heard of this baking contest that Sweet Dreams's mother is doing. The winner gets ten thousand bits. And gets their bake good put in her newest cookbook along with getting their desert shown in the shop. It's on Sunday which means you can get a chance to really show off your talent." Crepe's eye's grew in understanding,

"And I could get my mark! Thanks Tim you're the best!" He said before he jumped off the couch grabbed his hot chocolate and stormed out the door. Timidthy was stunned for a moment but smiled he jumped off his chair and walked to the door. But was quickly stopped when he saw Meadow,

"Please tell me you know anyway I can get my mark! I know you we're just with Crepe and it's late so just lay it on me!" She said. Timidthy smiled slightly,

"My mother is a judge in a perfume, conditioner. Lotion, shampoo, and flower growing contest on Saturday." He said and Meadow hugged him and kissed him on the forehead.

"Thank you!" She said before galloping off, leaving a thoroughly mortified colt. Timidthy then walked out the room and shut the door before leaving on wobbly hooves to his room.

Timidthy was now in his room having a video chat with Sweet Dreams.

"She put her lips on you!" Sweet Dreams shrieked,

"Yes, but only on my forehead no reason to get aggressive." Timidthy said quickly. Sweet Dreams noticeably calmed,

"So she's entering the flowery stuff contest and Crepe's entering the baking contest?" Sweet Dreams asked wanting to confirm the information.

"Yes. It's kinda the only way they can get their marks and they're both really good at what they do! If they win I'm sure they'll get their marks!" Timidthy said with a bit of confidence in her voice,

"I can't argue with that! Also there's nothin this new fondue place in Canterlot. I think that would be a great place for a date tomorrow." She replied batting her eyelashes, Timidthy giggled.

"Yeah. I'd like that. Good night my angel." He said,

"Good night my prince." Sweet Dreams said before they both hung up and went to bed.

Gotta Find It

Author's Note

We have a song! And in it two charecters will be singing the at the same time. So to represent that color when two charecters are singing it will be black.

Gotta Find It

Crepe had taken over the kitchen trying out new recipes. Much to his mother's annoyance as none of them we're breakfast related. The sun had just risen ten minutes ago. And the colt had already made three different kinds of crepey deserts. Right now he was making a crêpe cake as his family members watched in concern and amazement.

"Um....brother don't you think you should slow down?" Binkey said as his brother was icing the cake with cheese from cheese cake. Crepe wasn't even taking his eye's off his cake,

"No! I've got to make something amazing by Sunday! Something nopony has ever seen or tasted!" He said and Binkey just continued to watch not even daring to ask. Meanwhile in the orphanage all the orphans we're gathered by Meadow's room door. As she had a huge basin and was dropping all sorts of perfumery items inside. And then trying them put on Cream Cake much to his annoyance and discomfort.

"She's gone crazy." One of the orphans said,

"Actually I don't blame her going nuts. The contest that she wants to enter is judged by the Princess." Another one spoke out. Meadow looked back and her face burned red before she used her magic to shut and lock the door. She sighed in frustration before levitating a cup filled with fruit punch and pourned it inside the basin. (Unknowingly to anypony) sad balled music began to play. As Meadow was mixing the vat,

I want to find what makes me special.

Not something that shows my dark heart as an individual.

I want my mark so my talent will spark.

But what's the use if I'm am really good at it.

When I don't have it.

I've gotta find it so I can have a purpose in life!

I've got to find it so nopony will laugh at my flank!

I've got to find it this week or I'll never find it!

I've got to!

No matter if I die tryin.

The scene switched to Crepe as he was now throwing his crepe cake away, he screamed in frustration why couldn't he get this right?

Pastures have been my entire life.

Ever since I could walk I've always been attached.

So why is it that I don't have a mark to match?

Maybe it's because I havnt been challenging myself?

Well that's going to end at the contest!

I gotta get my mark and I gotta win to do it!

I'll make something so awesome that all the other bakers will cry and I will win the first prize!

The scenes then split with Meadow on one side and Crepe on the other both having looks of determination.

I'll walk in with my masterpiece.

All the adults with have smug smiles that show they don't believe in me.

The judges will just scoff and roll their eyes as I pass by.

Finally they'll walk to me and they'll judge my greatest work.

And they'll be amazed! They'll be shocked and dumbfounded!

They'll give us first price and all the adults will be astounded!

Then my mark will appear while the loosers are in tears.

I gotta, I have to, and I will earn my mark!

So that my destiny will spark!

And the music ended as the two continued their work.

Timidthy and Sweet Dreams we're walking around Canterlot. As a few ponies watched the royal couple walk by.

"Tim, je ne comprends toujours pas pourquoi tu as tellement...nerveux autour des oiseaux." Sweet Dreams said in a hushed tone,

"Sweety, je ne veux rien en parler... c'est privé." Timidthy replied his cheeks growing red. Sweet Dreams then sighed and gave up, she had tried to crack her sexy prince. But she just had too much love to push him out of his comfort zone. Sweet Dreams looking up to see a white bricked building with a marble roof the sign had a fondue pot on it. Mixed with chocolate and cheese she smiled and looked over to Timidthy. Who looked at if he wanted to drink the chocolate from it. Sometimes she did wonder. If Blood Bones's and Timidthy chocolate and fudge love was a bit unhealthy. But as long as they we're happy it didn't bother her, and the two walked into the establishment. The two quickly took their seats and a waiter came over to ask which type of fondue they wanted. Sweet Dreams looked over to Timidthy who held his tongue begging for her not to say it.

"Chocolate." Sweet Dreams said and Timidthy smiled sheepishly. And the waiter walked off with a pleased smile, he came back in a matter of seconds. He placed the fondue put in the center of the table and placed two bowls of fruit and vegetables in front of the foals. He then walked away and Sweet Dreams was quick to grab a strawberry and stick it in the fork. She then dipped it in the chocolate and stuffed the strawberry in Timidthy's mouth. Much to his surprise, he wanted to open his mouth and speak but with so many ponies around. He didn't want to appear as if he didn't have any manners. He swallowed it,

"Sweet Dreams please we're in public." Timidthy whispered and Sweet Dreams giggled. Before stuffing a piece of cheese into his mouth.

"Come on it's not like their going to do a news article on how your fillyfriend likes to feed you. That's boring news straight up." Sweet Dreams said just before her mother and Timidthy's came into the shop,

"I wish I didn't have to but I have no choice. I know all the contests will be surprised." Celestia said.

"Yes it feels like such a shame a few of them might even drop out." Sugar said,

Timidthy and Sweet Dreams listened with growing interest. And nearly fainted when they heard Celestia spoke.

"I wish we didn't have schedule it for tomorrow." The two then left. Still unaware of what there children had just heard.

The Masterpiece

Once the parents left Timidthy called the waiter over for the bill. He gave it to Timidthy and he started to pull out the needed bits plus tip.

"Tim what are you doing?" Sweet Dreams said putting her hoof over his,

"I'm paying the bill we have to tell Crepe and Meadow." Timidthy said.

"No! If we do that then they'll be extremely stressed. Plus this is the only date I'll be able to have with you for three more months." Sweet Dreams whined, Timidthys sighed as he bit his lip.

"If we don't tell them then they will freak even more when they find out. Plus since I'm grounded when we get back.....I'll spend the whole month with you doing what you want." He said feeling slightly guilty for having to cut the date short, Sweet Dreams blushed.

"Your right and you're the sweetest colt in the world." She said just as Timidthy put the bits on the bill and a small bag of bits down on the table. The waiter came back and picked up the plates while giving a pleased smile at the bag of bits.

"Sorry we have to leave sir. If it's any help I'll be sure to tell Prince Blue Blood of your find eaterie." Timidthy said,

"Well of course. Thank you Prince." The waiter said. And the couple trotted out the store, Sweet Dreams smiled and kissed Timidthy on the cheek. He blushed as he wanted a bit more than a small peak. Timidthy looked around and saw a lot of ponies we're out and about finally he took a chance and kissed Sweet Dreams. Her eye's widened in shock before Timidthy pulled back,

"Sorry but I know its going to be a while." He whispered and started galloping to the castle. Sweet Dreams snapped out of it and chased after her coltfriend. All the friends we're now at the castle as they'd just gotten an emergency text from Timidthy.

"I can't believe he called us! I need to make my cake I havent even scratched the surface!" Crepe grumbled while Binkey shuttered,

"I can agree the last one he tried to make was made out of prunes." He whispered in Bumper's ear. The pets shot up from a loose floor board and sat with their owner's. All except Cream Cake who kept his distance and have his owner a death glare.

"I can't come up with a good enough scent." Meadow complained as Poppy walked over to Cream Cake and sniffed him, the poor pomeranian grew green and passed out. Cream Cake turned red,

"I can say. That chinchilla smells like dragen feces, and a skunk had a baby." Console whispered to Data.

"So where are they?" Gizmo said just before the door slammed open and Timidthy and Sweet Dreams came in.

"Umm.....we have a little problem..." Timidthy said,

"What is it?" French Press said and Sweet Dreams screamed with worry in her voice.

"The contests have been changed to tomorrow!" Crepe and Meadow gasped while Binkey and Cream Cake had looks of horror on their faces,

"What!? But how?" The tech nerds said all at once.

"I don't know they're both busy during the original date now." Timidthy said and just like that Crepe and Meadow got up everypony in silence wondering what they're next move will be. They run out of the room, past the guard's, out the castle and don't even look back.

"D-D-Do y-you th-th-think th-th-they'll b-b-be o-o-ok-okay?" Spark asks and for once Timidthy shrugs and says,

"I don't know."

It was the next day as the contests we're getting started Blood Bones was at flower contest. With Bumper, French Press, Spice, Serenity, Citrus, Data, and Console tagging along. The other's but Timidthy and Sweet Dreams we're at the baking contest ready. The two in question we're watching both from the sky as they both sat on a cloud. Timidthy and Sweet Dreams both had binoculars around their necks. As they waited in anticipation.

"I wonder if they'll even show." Sweet Dreams said nervously,

"Maybe they looked pretty upset." Timidthy said using his magic to put the binoculars to his eye's. Suddenly Timidthy's tail shot up in shock,

"What is it!?" Sweet Dreams said.

"I see them!" The prince said, Sweet Dreams fumbled around with her binoculars. Finally she put the things to her eye's and scanned the ground. She was beginning to give up until she saw two figure walking with carts attached to their backs. The items that we're in the carts we're covered by a tarp, Crepe and Meadow looked as if they had stayed up all night. And their hair looked like they had gone through a tornado.

"Yikes I think French Press will have a heart attack when she sees them." Sweet Dreams said as she moved the binoculars towards the mentioned filly. And she had a looked of horror that almost rivaled Rarity's, the two had gotten to a seat at each of the contests tables. And put their goodies on the table as well, and the contest got started. The judges (Celestia and Sugar) judged the deserts, flowers, conditioners, shampoos, and more.

Finally each of the contest judges only had one more entry. Meadow and Crepe. They're faces we're nervous as Celestia walked up to Meadow and Sugar walked over to Crepe. Finally they both took a deep breath and removed the tarps. And everypony gasped before going silent.

Crepe's desert was huge and took up the entire plate as it had a glass dome over a crepe cake it had twelve layers. Each one of the layers being kept together with whipped cream and zap apple jam. The crepes themselves looked to be filled with chocolate if Sugar wasn't mistaken. The top of the cake was topped off with whipped cream and a chocolate truffle. Meadow's entry was in a large pink bottle with Cream Cake being next to it.

His entire body was glowing as his fluff and his coat looked as smooth as silk. Cream Cake gave off a mango scent to Meadow but she knew other ponies would have smell a different scent. Finally with a nervous smile on his face Cream Cake waved.

Marks Found

Silence rang over the contest. Theses entries we're much different from anything else nopony was sure how to react. That is until a cloud lowered with Sweet Dreams and Timidthy on it, the filly got up and said.

"Come on! You worked for this! Time to get your cutiemark!"

The other's in the audience started cheering,

"I believe in you guy's!" Timidthy said through the uproar. Crepe and Meadow smiled, Sugar then cut a piece out of Crepe's cake. She placed it on a plate and took a bite, her eye's lit up as a smile spread on her face. She swallowed it and everypony went silent for what she was going to say.

"Marvelous! Fresh ingredients, creamy chocolate, and soft crepes. I'm impressed." Sugar said before walking to the center of the competitors and their deserts. Celestia smiled over to Crepe before she turned her attention to Meadow.

"And what about your entry?" She said and Meadow smiled nervously,

"It's a conditioner, shampoo, lice and dandruff removal. Coat and smoothing, straightening, bath soap. It gives the average pony all the types of soaps they'll need. Instead of filling their cabinets with a ridiculous assortment of them. Also this is minor but anypony who smells it will smell their favorite scent." She said, "But to prove that it works I need a member from the audience." Meadow looked around but nopony would lend a hoof, Celestia whispered into her ear.

"You know Blood Bones has a bad case of dandruff." Meadow smiled and grabbed her bottle as she teleported to Blood Bones. Everypony's eye's we're on her as she looked at her coltfriend. Blood Bones had a nervous smile as she looked over to Celestia who gave him a wink. Meadow squirted some of the liquid jelly on Blood Bones's hair. She put the bottle down and mushed the stuff in his hair. Meadow put his hair back into its usual hairstyle as it glowed and shined and was as smooth as silk. Everypony stared in amazement and Blood Bones gave a mental sigh of relief as the itch in his scalp stopped. Meadow picked her bottle back up and teleported back to her table. Just as Celestia got to the center of all the tables,

"My little ponies this was a difficult decision but I think both Sugar and I have come to the winner's." She said.

"Yes. Celestia will you do the honours?" Sugar said,

"Of course. The winner of the flower contest is.........Meadow." Celestia said and the mentioned filly smiled wildly. Unbeknownst to Meadow her cutiemark appeared. It was bottle just like the one that had just one the contest. It was surrounded by flowers of all shapes and sizes with bubbles coming from the top. Timidthy noticed it and smiled hoping the same would happen to Crepe. Sugar cleared her throat had said.

"And the winner of the baking contest is.......Crepe! Congratulations you get your first-ever chance in the world of baking!" Crepe felt tears come to his eye's before something in his brain clicked. Suddenly a blinding bright flash came from his flank everypony covered their eye's. After the flash everypony looked to see Crepe's cutiemark had appeared. In the center was a huge star with a chef hat in the center and four other stars surrounded the big one. Everypony cheered as Binkey jumped from the stands and hugged his brother. Blood Bones teleported over to Meadow who was disappointed hers hadn't come. She gave a weak smile to Blood Bones who in return pointed to her flank. Meadow smiled and gave her coltfriend a bear hug. This was a fantastic day for everypony.

It was after the competition as a huge party was held at the castle for both Meadow and Crepe. And the kid's we're the most excited,

"I knew it!" Timidthy said.

"I'M SO PROUD OF YOU GUY'S!" Citrus screamed and again everypony but Blood Bones and Timidthy covered their ears,

"Thanks!" Crepe said as he was taking another glance at his cutiemark.

"I'm so happy! I can't stop smiling!" Meadow said,

"Mom and dad are not going to believe it!" Binkey said.

"I bet they faint from happiness!" Sweet Dreams said, suddenly Meadow was surrounded in a red light.

"Excuse my but I want to borrow the future flower protect master." Blood Bones said before he teleported off with Meadow, the two landed on Blood Bones's bed.

"So what's up?" Meadow asked.

"Well first I'm very proud of my little lily." Blood Bones said sweetly, "Also......did mom tell you about...." He continued trailing off in embarrassment.

"Yeah she did." Meadow said as Blood Bones ears went back pressing on his skull, "Hey, no reason to get like that. You can keep the rest." His ears shot up,

"Really but-" Blood Bones said before Meadow spoke.

"But nothing you deserve it you've always been by my side." Her coltfriend blushed and kissed her,

"Thanks." Blood Bones said.

"No problem; Bonesy." Meadow said as she booped her prince on the nose.

It was day's after as all the friend's we're now in the school carriages. Heading back to boarding school for another three month's. But Meadow and Crepe had huge smiles on their faces. Excited to see what the other colts and fillies would think. Suddenly Crepe's chattie vibrated and he looked at a message from Serenity.

First thing when we get to school I'm going to take you to rose-bud rock. Having a nice chat there sounds fun.

Crepe blushed like mad and he smiled goofly as he typed back.

I'd lv:heart:e that.

'I can't believe how lucky I am.' Crepe though as the carriage stopped by his school. And everypony jumped out of the carriage chatting as they entered the school. He looked around the crowd and saw Serenity waving him over. Crepe blushed even brighter and followed Serenity.

"Ya know I see why why sister likes to stroke Binkey's flank. It looks sexy with that mark." She said once they we're fully out of ear shot.

And Crepe giggled knowing very well his life was only going to get better from then on.

Meanwhile Timidthy was putting all his stuff back in order and smiled he had never been prouder.
