Mr. and Mrs. Cake find their early morning interrupted by the Cutie-Mark Crusaders on another crusade, this time relating to mareliness. After her friends lose interest, Apple Bloom goes a bit further to visit another mare, and learns some new things about herself.

This story was originally published in February of 2020, as part of a trade with Catross, who wanted an Apple Bloom story. I commissioned the cover art by Jotun22.
