“So Scootaloo's keeping Petunia busy like you asked. What did you two want to talk about?” Sweetie Belle asked while sipping down a few Irish coffees.

“I'm sure you get these questions all the time. Oh, this is so awkward.” Petunia’s mother said.

“Um, you're the experts, so we thought you'd have some insight into our daughter's new, uh, cutie mark.” Her father said.

“What's wrong?“ Applebloom asked.

“Obviously, we're both very proud of her and her cutie mark...” “Despite its, um... unsettling nature.” Petunia’s father finished

“Unsettling?” Sweetie Belle and Applebloom looked outside and saw that petunia’s cutie mark was some skeleton bones.

“I don't get what you mean.” Applebloom stated.

“Her mark doesn't... bother you at all?” Petunia’s mother said.

“Hey! Check out what we found!” Scootaloo shouted from outside. They all went outside and saw that petunia had uncovered a ponysaur fossil.

“Look! A spiny-backed ponysaurus! In our own backyard! And I found him on my very own! How cool is that?!” Petunia replied, ecstatic at her discovery.

“Oh! She's an paleontologist.” Both of her parents said as they chuckled.

“Of course! What'd you think she was gonna be, a pirate?” Scootaloo asked them.

“Pirate? Pfft! Why would we think that?” Petunia’s mother said as she threw a pirate costume away and proceeded to laugh nervously with her husband.

wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? Vs! The strongest foe! Noone but yourself holds you back!

(the title screen, Ponyball z: adventures in Equestria appears as it flies through canterlot. Cyre is then seen flying by with rainbow dash, princess Luna, twilight sparkle, and Fluttershy joining him.)

A fire burning in my veins, is breaking me out of my chains, and raising my power to the max...

(all of them flare their auras and fly away at high speeds, with cyre joining them a few moments later.the scene changes to seeing spike waving to them, along with the mane 6's friends and family.)

our paths filled with uncertainty, but look ahead then you will see, how we'll become, a part of history!

(King Sombra and queen chrysalis appear first. And behind them, ponehendge appears, and in a flash, the pony of shadows appears. Rainbow then appears with green eyes similar to Sombra's, and twilight and rainbow are engaged in a fight.)

whem someone beats me up, I always get back up, my spirits always coming back, and now it's on the attack!

(Sombra is seen spreading crystals across Ponyville. A fused Saiyan of unknown origin appears and goes super saiyan. Twilight Sparkle and Luna are seen performing the fusion dance, as they fuse together and smirk at the audience.)

jump on all your limits and perchance! Throw away your pain in a kind and loving dance! Gorgeous! I'm born again! In the Dragonballs lies the fate of all men!

(stygian is seen fighting twilight, and it switches to another unknown fusion with rainbow hair. Cyre is seen nodding and he goes super saiyan.)

wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? vs! The future world! Our epic tail will be unfurled! Greater than the best!

(cyre and chrysalis are now seen fighting. It then changes to a screen where he and his friends are in a fighting pose.)

Another week goes by as ponyville enjoys prosperity... for the first time in ages. Cyre and the two fillies, Mitta and Ruby, stayed attached to him, literally at some points. They even went with him on a date with Luna, which was quite awkward. It was a movie date, and the two fillies would constantly marvel at the movie projector.

But seriously, could you blame them? They’d been trapped in sunny town for centuries on end! It went to a whole new level when they asked Cyre to train them. Cyre of course, was very skeptical that they could survive it, but they wouldn’t stop pestering till he gave in and said that he would, and the two made him pinkie promise on that.

Broly... kinda just did whatever he does when he‘s not training with cyre. Not even I, the author, knows what he does.

“Woo-hoo! Another successful cutie intervention! You know, Crusaders, I don't wanna toot our own horn, but we've helped a lot of ponies figure out their purpose in life. Like Bluenote here. Nice saxophone, Bluenote!” Scootaloo said as a stallion walked by playing his saxophone.

“Yep, everywhere you look, there's a pony we've helped find a purpose. You've gotta admit. We've had a pretty good effect on everypony since we've discovered our destiny.” Applebloom noted.

“And started helping other ponies discover theirs! Could this get any better or what? ” Scootaloo asked to the other CMC’s.

“Now, Scootaloo, you do know there will always be challenges? Someday, somepony might even come to us with a problem that even we can't handle. It’s just a feeling that I get every few times a month. And it always seems to happen on a Saturday, oddly enough...” Sweetie Belle said.

All three of them walked to their treehouse to find an intruder.

“Guys, that bird, has a cat’s ass.” Scootaloo said as she pointed to the roof, to find a griffon sitting there. They all retreated into a bush and continued to observe.

“Is that really a griffon?” Sweetie asked.

“You're darn tootin' it is! What do you think that griffon wants?” Applebloom wondered.

“I guess we've gotta ask her, but aren't griffons supposed to be kind of mean and cranky?”

“That’s kinda racist, Sweetie Belle.” Applebloom stated.

““It’s not racist if it’s just bucking true!” Sweetie Belle retorted.

“Crusaders, looks like we've gotta step carefully.” Scootaloo said. The three of them stepped out of the bush, but were instantly spotted by the griffon.

“The Cutie Mark Crusaders! I can't believe it's really, really you!” She laughed as she gave them all a huge, tight hug.

“Aah! Ooh! This... griffon's... not... cranky.” Scootaloo said with a strained voice.

“How in the blooming apples did you know who we are?” Applebloom asked the griffin.

“Know who you are? Know who you are?! Why, I've heard about you from everypony in Ponyville! I'm so excited to meet you, I could just explode! I'm Gabriella, but you can call me Gabby since we're friends now! Pleased to meet ya’ !” She then shook all three crusaders hooves, inadvertently shaking the rest of their bodies as well.

“Well, howdy... um... Gabby.“ Applebloom said to Gabby.

Gabby squealed in excitement. “I'm just about the most excited anygriffon has ever been about anything!”

Sweetie Belle was confused. “Excited? But whatever for?“

“What for? What for?! Everypony in town tells me of your amazing assistance! How you help ponies find their place in the world!” Gabby exclaimed.

“It's a calling, but—” ”And that's why I'm here. I need help, too. I want you to give me a cutie mark!” Gabby interrupted. This threw the crusaders back.

“Um, can a griffon even get a cutie mark?” Applebloom asked them.

“I dunno, but I think we should probably find out.” Scootaloo responded. The other CMC’s proceeded to laugh nervously. They all walked into the tree house for more info.

“So, Gabriella...” “Gabby, 'kay?” She finished.

“Gabby, why do you even want a cutie mark? It doesn't seem like a very... griffon-y thing to want.” Scootaloo mused.

“Right? Right?! Right?! You're tellin' me! I don't know if you've heard, but griffons can be a little bit... unfriendly.”

“See, I told you it’s just plain true!” Sweetie Belle shouted.

“Most griffons don't pay much attention to each other. And if they do, it's not, y'know, the good kind of attention. As for me, I'm just a little mail delivery griffon who likes to spread a little bit of griffon-y sunshine on my rounds, which always makes me feel different from the other griffons. I'd do anything for any old griffon in need.” Gabby said, but quickly lost her quirkiness.

“But it just always seemed like the harder I tried, the less I fit in. It wasn't until your friends came to Griffonstone that I realized some creatures actually like helping each other, and I saw something so awesomely awesome – how helping spreads from pony to pony and griffon to griffon! I knew then that I had to find out why I was so different from the other griffons, and I knew the answer just had to have something to do with those wonderful, amazing marks on the ponies' flanks. And I admit, hehe, I became, um, maybe a little obsessed. So first chance I had to deliver a letter from Gilda, I took it, so I could find the perfect pony to help me understand what those marks are. Everypony here told me one thing – I just had to see the Cutie Mark Crusaders! They've helped everypony here get their cutie marks, and I knew, I just knew, that someday I'd have one, too! A cutie mark of my very own!
Gabby: That's why I flew all the way here! I want to find my own place in the world, and I know you can help me by giving me a cutie mark! So let's make with the cutie! [giggles] Whenever you're ready. Did it happen yet?” She said as she continued to stare at her flank.

“Uh, not exactly.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Howboutnowhowboutnowhowboutnowhowboutnow?” Gabby asked repeatedly.

“Um, Gabby, I hate to break it to ya, but it sounds like you might've heard some tall tales about what Crusaders can do.” Applebloom said.

“I mean, we are kinda awesome and all, but nopony can just give you a cutie mark. It just sort of... happens.” Scootaloo explained.

“Though I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen to griffons. Or if it does, we've never ever heard of it.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Oh. I hadn't thought of that. Sounds like a challenge! And who could be up to it but the world-famous Cutie Mark Crusaders? Cutie marks! It's in your name and everything, right? Right?! Right?! Now I have to deliver Gilda's letter to Rainbow Dash. I bet by the time I get back, you'll have it one hundred percent figured out! Toodles for now! Whee-hee-hee! Gonna get my cutie mark! ” She then flew to deliver dashie her mail.

“What she wants... It's not possible, right?” Sweetie asked.

“I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this, though. That griffon hugs to hard and uses the word “toodles”. This has a 50% chance of all three of us being gagged and tied to a radiator. Come on guys, let’s go see our friend who lives in an even bigger treehouse and ask her.” Scootaloo said.

”I've read every book on the subject, and I've never read a thing about any creature other than a pony getting a cutie mark.” Twilight said.

“But, Twilight, Gabby flew all the way here so we could help her. There's gotta be something we can do.” Scootaloo said.

“Say, is there some kind of spell you can whip up to make her mark appear?” Sweetie Belle asked twilight.

“Um, I don't know if any of you remember, but using magic to get a cutie mark never really works out all that well.” Twilight reminded them.

“Ohhh. Right.” The CMC replied in the same let down tone.

“Crusaders, I'm sorry. While I can't say for certain that it's utterly impossible, the chances of Gabby getting an actual mark are... pretty slim. Everything I've ever learned tells me. It's just not gonna happen.” Twilight said sadly.

“Oh, no! Poor Gabby! What the apples are we ever gonna tell her?” Applebloom asked herself.

“Crusaders, this is terrible! Gabby really believed in us. And now, we're gonna let her down.” Sweetie Belle said sadly.

“But what else can we do?” Applebloom asked.

“Hmm. You know what, Crusaders? So what? Maybe we can't help Gabby get a cutie mark, but we can still do what we're best at. We can help her find her purpose!” Scootaloo said with encouragement.

“And I reckon doing that is the same for griffons as it is for ponies or any other creature in Equestria.” Applebloom said in agreement.

“All we have to do is be extra-special clear with her. Like, Crystal Empire clear.” Sweetie Belle said.

And so, the crusaders resolve to help her find a purpose, because they’re nice like that.

Author's Note

Hey guys! I’m going through some things right now, but at least I have this! Also, I’m planning on doing Equestria girls, starting at legend of Everfree, as to not mess up the canon to much. And I’m changing that theme song, to. It has to be updated for the story now.
