Weeks passed. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were running out of ideas to help the foals get their Cutie Marks. They did all sorts of things on the inside, but now the challenge is for the outside world. Rumble has been busy with Thunder for the last week and has completely forgot about the plan he was doing with Shady Daze.

Another day was ending in Ponyville. The CMC had just finished with the latest that came seeking help. The number of foals was becoming too much for the three of them to handle.

"Sorry, everypony. We're closing' up shop for today. We'll continue to help you out tomorrow." Apple Bloom said as she opened the door.

"Awwww..." Went the foals as they started to head off to their houses.

When they were gone, Scootaloo turned to her two friends and said. "I don't know if we'll be able to help then all tomorrow. Helping the foals one at a time will take forever…”

AppleBloom sighed. "If only there was a way we could help a whole herd of them at once…”

"Wait, that's it! We'd save a lot of time if spotteduld help each other!" Said Sweetie Belle.

"Just like we used to!” Scootaloo said in realization. “Oh, but it'd have to be somewhere big enough to handle all those foals..."

"Somewhere outside, with tons of activities to try..." Sweetie Belle trailed off.

"Are you two thinkin' what Ah'm thinkin'?" AppleBloom asked as she smiled at the other two.

"Cutie Mark Day Camp!" The three shouted.

"And Ah know just the place, Applejack used to go there when she was little." AppleBloom said.

"Camp Friendship!" Scootaloo shouted then stopped. "Oh. sorry. I thought we were all gonna yell that one too.” She giggled in embarrassment.

The three of them laughed and closed up for the day. They have decided that tomorrow was going to be the start of the Cutie Mark Day Camp, and it sure is going to be a hectic day for the three crusaders.

The next day started as the Cutie Mark Crusaders started up a stand in the middle of Ponyville. Button and Shady were near them playing on their Joyboys.

"Oooooohhh, I'm so going to get you Shady!" Button said, mashing his namesake on his Joyboy.

"Not on my watch!" Shady said as he glared at Button. Though as the two were busy shooting each other with the guns, a random players destroyed them both.

"WHAT? How's that possible! We landed in an area nopony goes and still there is good stuff!" Button said,shaking his own screen.

"Grrrr... I bet it's Strike or Caramel Coffee!" Shady said with a groan.

"Well let's just forget about it for now. But hey, where's Rumble? He's supposed to be around here with us." Button said as he looked around.

"Hmmmm, school did let out early so he must be around... There!" Shady pointed as Rumble passed by the Cutie Mark Day Camp registration.

"Attention, all blank flanks!" AppleBloom said as she looked at the foals around the stand.

"And blank flanks affiliates!" Scootaloo followed up. "Come to our Cutie Mark Day Camp and find out what you're truly good at!"

"Bond with other blank flanks and find out what you're meant to do together!" Finished Sweetie Belle.

"I'm not going to this camp." Shady shook his head. "Are you Button?"

"N-No! I'm not getting my Cutie Mark until much later!" Said Button with wide eyes.

As the two chatted for a little bit, they saw Rumble getting closer to the stand and suddenly looked at the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Hey, Rumble!" Scootaloo said as she spotted Rumble.

"Oh, hey Crusaders. Look, i can't stop. I've gotta meet my brother for... something." Rumble said as he stopped for a moment.

"No problem. Just wanted to make sure you heard about our Cutie Mark Day Camp. The first session tomorrow." AppleBloom said with a smile.

Suddenly Thunderlane passed by making a paper be scrunched on the ground.

"What'cha got there, little brother?" Thunder asked Rumble as he landed.

"What? Oh, nothing. Come on! I want to show you a new dive roll I'm practicing.”

*Whoosh*

After a few whooshes, the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders continued to advertise the camp. Button and Shady trotted closer to see Rumble.

"Psss, Rumble!" Shady whispered as he got closer, as well as Button.

"Huh? What do you two want? I'm about to go train with Thunder right now." Rumble said turning to Shady.

"Come one, come all! Cutie Mark Day Camp is for blank flanks of all kinds!" Scootaloo announced in the background.

"We were just wondering if you were alright, it's been almost a week since we last saw you." Button said.

"Well, I just got out of here for a little while, I'm going to go with Thunder."

"Fine..." Button and Shady pretended they left but hid in a bush.

"Hmmm..." Thunder looks up and down.

"Welcome, cutie mark campers!" AppleBloom said as she looked at the foals.

"Who's excited to be here?" Sweetie Belle said happily.

"We are!" The foals said together, except Button, Shady, and Rumble.

"Boring as heck..." Button said quietly.

"You said it..." Shady sighed.

"Well, we're excited too!" Sweetie Belle grinned. "At Cutie Mark Day Camp, you'll be able to try all kinds of things!"

"Kayaking!"

"Horseshoe-tossing!"

"Circle-painting!"

AppleBloom, Scootaloo, and Kettle Corn said to the foals.

"You can try 'em all! But the most important thing is that you'll be tryin' them together." AppleBloom said to the foals.

"That's what worked for us!" Said Scootaloo.

"Then i bet it'll work for these little guys too.” Thunderlane said unexpectedly. All the foals gasped seeing the Wonderbolt in Ponyville.

"Hey, I thought you said we were gonna go practice for the Wonderbolts Ponyville Extravaganza show." Rumble said with a groan.

"I'm going to Wonderbolt practice. You're going to cutie mark practice." Thunderlane said with a grin.

On the next day, it was time for the Cutie Mark Day Camp, and everypony was ready, well, except Rumble. AppleBloom was getting ready to say the first activity, then suddenly a large gust of wind sweeps across the area knocking over another bush that Button and Shady were hiding in.

"Oh crud!" Button said quietly, tough the Crusaders were able to hear him.

"Button and Shady? What are you two doing here?" Sweetie Belle said then gasped. "Are you two finally going to get your Cutie Marks as well?"

"Look, it's not what it looks like!" Button said as he stepped back. "We were just passing by, that's it!"

Suddenly, a large chant of foals started calling out their names.

"Button! Shady! Button! Shady!" The foals said together.

"Grrrrr, fine then... But i bet 100 bits i'm not getting my Cutie Mark the first day Sweetie Belle!" Button said with a groan.

"Huh, then we're glad to have you three!" Sweetie Belle said happily nonetheless.

"Now if you excuse me, i'm going back to training, if not, Spitfire will be mad and fire me." Thunder said before whooshing away.

"The first activity is Horseshoe Toss!" AppleBloom yelled.

The first day of the Cutie Mark Day Camp has just begun. What has Button and Shady gotten themselves into? Whos fault is it to cause this timeline change... I don't know, the writer changes the ideas, not me.

Author's Note

Editor’s note: Sunny believes the author wanted to make a fourth wall joke on the end. Author better watch out if he wants fourth wall breaking…

Original Notes: The first part of Marks and Recreation alternative timeline is complete! Part 2 will be longer and better.

The fourth wall breaker came into my mind acutally before ending the chapter. Hehe.
