Total silence from the Cutie Mark Day Camp, just the remaining echos from Rumble, Button, and Shady.

"I just can't see what we did wrong. I thought everypony was having fun." Sweetie Belle sighs as she looks at the direction where the campers are going to.

"They were until that Rumble, Button, and Shady came and made a mess of things. What are they doing now?" said Apple Bloom as she also looks at the forest.

"It looks like whatever they want." Scootaloo said to the two fillys.

"Honestly, it's not all that different from what they were doing here." Sweetie Belle said as she shakes her head.

"Then what was the point?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Point is that Rumble, Button, and Shady are the mad ponies that must be stopped!" Scootaloo said as she wants to go after the three colts.

"Now calm down, Crusaders. We just need to talk to them again. The key is to remain calm." Sweetie Belle said to the two.

After a few minutes, the Crusaders head on the direction where the colts took the remaining campers. Mostly likely a location where it's half boring and half fun due to Button bringing some extra Joyboys.

"Cutie marks... make you... special!" Sweetie Belle yelled to the colts.

"By putting you in a special little box!" Rumble yelled as well.

"Special!" Sweetie Belle yelled again.

"Box!" The three colts yelled as once.

"Come on, Sweetie Belle. I think you've "remained calm" long enough." said Apple Bloom as she moves closer to Sweetie Belle.

When the three fillys get closer, the three spot Kettle Corn covered her Cutie Mark.

"Kettle Corn, you covered your cutie mark?!" Sweetie Belle questioned Kettle Corn.

"Im blank flank again, Keeping my options open. I'm more than haikus." Kettle Corn said to Sweetie Belle.

"You just haiku'd right then!" Sweetie Belle said surprisenly.

"Don't let them get in your head! You're an open-ended question! Blank flanks forever!" Rumble said to Kettle Corn then to the foals.

"Blank Flanks forever!" Button Mash and Shady Daze said.

"Blank Flanks Forever" said the foals as well.

"Blank flanks forever! Blank flanks forever!" Pipsqueak said as Skeedaddle tosed a Horseshoe. "Whoa! You're cracking great!"

"Thanks!" Skeedaddle said then he gasp. "Oh, no! What if I get a cutie mark in it?!"

"Then you'll be stuck doing it forever! Blank flanks, no more potential cutie mark activities!" Rumble said as he looks at Skeedaddle.

"What's even the point in them, when we have Joyboys!" Button said as he brings out more Joyboys.

"Don't they, give you a Cutie Mark?" Skeedaddle asked.

"Nah, only arcade games do it!" said Button Mash said as he turns on his own joyboy.

"Well new rule, Joyboys are alowed......." Rumble stopped for a moment then continues. "I think of anything else that won't get us Cutie Marks!"

"Photograph is one thing Rumble!" Shady Daze said as he takes a picture of the nature around the camp.

"Fine...... that too!" said Rumble as he shakes his head.

***

"Well, Cutie Mark Day Camp is a bust." said Sweetie Belle.

"No, it isn't! It's a swell idea! We just can't seem to talk any sense into that... thatRumble, Button, and Shady." Apple Bloom sighs as she doesn't want to say their names.

"Maybe[ i]we can't, but I bet I know somepony who can." Scootaloo said.

After a few hours later, the three fillys head to the Wonderbolt academy to tell Thunderlane the news of what happend with Rumble, Button Mash, and Shady Daze.

"Lemme get this straight. My little brother and his friends up-ended yourentirecamp? How in Equestria did he do that?" Thunderlane asked the Crusaders.

"Well," Sweetie Belle inhales a big breath then speaks as fast as she could. "it started when they couldn't toss a horseshoe or paddle a kayak or shoot an arrow or use a pencil, and we felt bad that ther weren't good at anything, but now the three won't want a cutie mark at all because the're afraid they'll get stuck doing something they won't like forever, you know?"

"No, I don't. Rumble and his friends ae good at all that stuff." Thunderlane said to Sweetie Belle.

"Well, that doesn't make a lick of sense. Unless... they were bein' bad at stuff on purpose!" Apple Bloom said as she figured it out.

Thunderlane sighs as he knows what Rumble was going to do, "I was afraid of this..."

"Afraid of what?" Scootaloo asked.

"Ever since I became a Wonderbolt, Rumble's either watching me or trying to fly like me. He won't do anything else. That's why I thought your camp was such a good idea." Thunderlane said to the three filly's

"Then what about Button and Shady?" Sweetie Belle said to Thundelane.

"Huh? I dunno. Probably their parents know....... mostly Lovetap maybe!" Thunderlane rolls his eyes.

"I don't understand. If Rumble wants to be a Wonderbolt someday, what's wrong with that?" asked Scootaloo.

"Not a thing. But right now, he isn't even giving anything else a chance." Thunderlane said to the Scootaloo.

"Sounds to me like Rumble, Button, and Shady aren't afraid of bein' put in a box at all." Apple Bloom said to the two fillys.

"It doesn't?" Sweetie Belle said.

"Nope. I think Rumble, Button, and Shady already picked out a box. The're afraid they'll get a cutie mark that'll keep them from it." Apple Bloom said as she though of a plan.

***

Camp Blank Flank is a bit more active due to Shady's and Button's activity. The colts are getting a lot of attention with the activities.

"I don't know how to say this, Rumble, but Blank Flank Forever Camp is kinda..." Pipsqueak stopped as Skeedaddle finished his sectence.

"Boring?"

"No, not that. A little fun but not that fun then Camp Cutie Mark." Pipsqueak said to Skeedaddle.

"Heh, i though you were going to say boring too, buuut, i'm alright with that!" Rumble said as he stops to see the Crusades and Thunderlane getting closer to the Camp.

"Huoh, this means that this camp is going overboard!" Shady Daze said to Rumble.

"Shoot....." Rumble said quietly then looks at Button and Shady. "Look, i know what he is going to do..... let's escape when he have the chance and get back to Ponyville.

"Good plan, and looks like we might have Pip and Skeedaddle with us as well!" Button Mash said as he looks as Scootaloo is about to speak.

"Attention, blank flanks of Cutie Mark Day Camp!" Scootaloo said to the foals.

"The Cutie Mark Crusaders are pleased to announce today's special guest – Thunderlane!" Sweetie Belle shouted.

Whoosh

"Hey, everypony! It's me!" Thunderlane appears from flying.

"Anypony who's interested, gather 'round for a day of activities with a genuine Wonderbolt!" Apple Bloom said to the campers.

"Uh, sorry, Rumble. But cutie mark or not, I'm not missing out on this!" Skeedaddle said to Rumble.

"Bad plan, retreat is the only option!" Button Mash said as he has a plan.

"What's the plan, small smoke bombs?" Rumble asked Button.

"Huh, yeah....." Button saif as he waits for the oportunity.

"I know this trick what they're going to do, so much to convince us to go back with them." Rumble said as he shakes his head. "We aren't afraid of Cutie Marks, right?"

"No sir! We aren't afraid of them." The two colts said as they watch what the Crusaders doing.

"Come on you three come join us!" Apple Bloom said to the three colts. "It's going to be fun watching Thunderlane!"

"Yeah! Come join us, also maybe you can fly with Thunderlane, Rumble!" Sweetie Belle said to Rumble.

"How about NO!" Rumble yelled. "NOW BUTTON!"

"Roger! Let's hope this work-" Buton Mash said as the Smoke bomb covers a half a mile radius.

"WHAT?" The Crusaders and Thunderlane said in shock.

"We aren't afraid of Cutie Marks! You though of us wrong!" The three colts yelled as they run away from the smoke.

"Get back here!" Thunderlane shouted as he and the Crusaders can't see anything.

"This can't be happening!" Scootaloo said as the smoke starts to fade. "W-We though we had them!"

"Where did they go? The only..... way is Camp Cutie Mark, then back to Ponyville!" said Sweetie Belle as she turns to the only direction the colts went to.

"There's no way to catch up to them, Rumble and his buddies are really fast and will take forever." Thunderlane said as he shakes his head.

"Now what are we gonna do?" Apple Bloom said as she looks up at the sky as it's almost sunset.

As the chapter closes, it didn't end well for the Crusaders. What is Rumble, Button, and Shady's real problem with Cutie Marks, or do they not have a reason?
