"And thank you again girls!"

Said the VERY happy store owner as the Cutie Mark crusaders left the antique store. The three girls left with big smiles, all pretty happy at how it had all gone down. The owner had been so surprised and happy with how her store looked, that the three fillies could not help but feel happy too. Not to mention they got a nice pile of bits, which only served to sweeten the whole experience.

Luckily enough, when Apple Bloom asked about the snow globe, the owner happily gave it to them free of charge! Apparently she had no idea what it was, or who was in there. Apple Bloom felt a little bad about it, but as Scootaloo said as they walked out, what she doesn't know won't hurt her.

The three made their way to the park, with Apple Bloom carrying the snow globe and the bits in her saddlebag. "I can't believe our luck!" Squealed Scootaloo in excitement. "We got a magical alicorn that grants us wishes!"

"Told you it was a good idea to help out at the store." Apple Bloom smirked.

Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, you didn't know about the globe, so that doesn't count."

"It does so!" Argued Apple Bloom. "I found him, and it was my idea to go in the first place!"

"She has a point." Agreed Sweetie Belle, making Scoots roll her eyes again.

"Oh whatever! Let's get him out!"

The CMC found a more or less secluded spot in the park, and sat down at a bench. Apple Bloom reached into her saddlebag, and got out the snow globe. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked on expectantly as Apple Bloom placed it on the table in front of it.

"Hello, you in there?" Sweetie Belle asked.

There was a second of silence, when suddenly a puff of blue smoke appeared in front of them, and the colt stood on the table, coughing a bit as he waved the smoke away. "Sorry, I'm not used to getting out..." He said, shaking his head, and then smiled. "Hey guys! How did everything go?"

"I went great, the owner was really grateful for the job we did." Apple Bloom smiled. "She said she has never seen her store so clean before."

The colt grinned, puffing his chest out a little, looking exceptionally pleased with himself. "Well, it was nothing." He said in a bad attempt of seeming humble.

"Hey, uhm..." Scootaloo paused. "Wait, we didn't get your name."

"Oh right!" The colt nodded. "You can call me, uhm... You can call me... What was it..."

The three fillies stared at him for a minute or two, when Sweetie Belle leaned forward a little. "You don't remember your name either?"

"Hmm... No..." He let out a sigh, sitting down on the table. "Haven't used it in a while, so I guess it just kind of faded away." It was amazing how carefree the colt could look. He didn't look too sad about it, more like shrug it off and keep going kind of attitude.

"How about we come up with a name for you?" Apple Bloom suggested, earning her a smile from the colt.

"Okay!" The colt nodded excitedly.

The three fillies started to think. "Well, how about Blue Bird?" Sweetie Belle suggested. "Because he is blue..?" Her tone suggested that she knew full well how lame that reasoning was.

"No, no, no." Scootaloo shook her head. "How about Thunder Blaze!?"

"Ooooh, I like it." The colt grinned.

"Thunder Blaze?" Apple Bloom asked, looking unimpressed. "Doesn't really fit him..."

Sweetie Belle nodded. "Yeah, I agree."

"Oh and Blue Bird was much better?" Scootaloo asked.

"We could call him." Apple Bloom thought it over. "Apple Starlight?"

Now it was Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo's turn to look unimpressed. "Why is it always apples with you?" Asked Scootaloo. "And where did you even get Starlight from?"

Apple Bloom made a face. "Well, first off because of his cutie mark." She said and pointed at the colt's flank. "And where did you get Thunder Blaze from?" For the first time since they had met him, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked at the colt's flank, spotting a golden star shooting start.

"Huh, didn't notice that before..." Scootaloo mumbled.

The colt looked down at himself. "Me neither."

"Alright alright, so maybe something with stars?" Sweetie Belle suggested.

"Star Bright?"

"Starswirl?"

"I think that's trademarked..."

"Star Shooter?"

"Wishing Star?"

"Starfish?"

"Steve?"

The girls continued to list off names, all of them containing the word star in them. None of them they could agree on. After about twenty minutes, the girls were leaning over the table, all of them trying to think of a name they could all agree on. Meanwhile the colt still sat on the table, looking at them expectantly.

"Stardust?" Sweetie Belle suggested.

"Nah..." Responded the two other fillies.

Scootaloo let out a groan. "This sucks, how about we just call him Bob, and get on with it?"

"No, Scootaloo, he has to have a good name." Apple Bloom argued, getting Scootaloo to nod. "Now, there has to be a perfect name for him out there..."

"Comet?" Sweetie Belle then suggested.

The two other fillies looked at her, almost seeming surprised. "Comet..." Apple Bloom repeated, as if trying the name out. "Not bad."

"Comet..." Scootaloo nodded. "Sounds pretty cool."

The three of them nodded to one another, and then looked at the colt with big smiles. "How about it, you like the name Comet?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Comet?" The colt tilted his head. "It does have a nice ring to it." Then he grinned, standing up and pointed to the sky in a dramatic pose. "From this moment on, I shall be known as Comet!" The crusaders laughed, and clapped their hooves together as if to applaud him. Comet laughed sheepishly, sitting down again as she scratched the back of his head.

"Okay, now that we got that sorted out." Grinned Scootaloo. "Comet, I wish for-"

"Hold on!" Comet interrupted, holding out his hoof. "I'm sorry, Scootaloo, but I can only grant each of you one wish per day, and you have already used your wish for today."

Scootaloo's eyes widened in realization. "What, no! I take it back!"

Comet shook his head. "Sorry, no refunds. I can't annul a wish just like that, and give it back, it isn't how it works."

"Well that's stupid!" Scootaloo declared.

"Take it easy, Scootaloo. You will get another wish tomorrow." Sweetie Belle reminded her, but she only got an unsatisfied grumble back from Scootaloo. "So, is that one of the rules you mentioned before?" She then asked, turning her attention back to Comet.

"Ah, yes!" Comet nodded. "One wish per filly each day. You also can't tell anyone about me."

"Why not?" Apple Bloom asked.

The colt shrugged. "I don't know, it's just the rules."

"Wait, so isn't it dangerous for you to be out in the open like this?" Scootaloo said, looking around to see if anypony was nearby.

Comet smugly. "Don't worry, only you three are able to see and hear me right now." He let out a chuckle. "But I guess we should get the big ones out of the way. Rule one, I can't kill or harm anyone. Rule two, I can't mess with love. Rule three, I can't bring anyone back from the dead. Rule four, no time travel!"

"That's it?" Scootaloo asked.

"Nope." Comet shook his head. "But that's some of the bigger ones."

Apple Bloom smiled excitedly. "How about giving us our cutie marks?!"

"Yeah, great idea!" Scootaloo nodded, and Sweetie Belle joined in.

"No can do." Replied Comet.

"WHAT?!" All three yelled, almost making the colt fall backwards.

He frowned, holding up his hooves as if trying to calm them down. "S-sorry, but I can't give you cutie marks..."

"Why not!" Demanded Scootaloo.

"Well, I have no idea what your special talent is, and even if I did, I could not grant you the mark for it! It's harmony magic, it keeps changing, so I can't mess with it." Comet tried to explain. seeing their disappointed faces, he quickly added. "B-but I can help you figure out what your cutie marks are!"

"You can?" The three asked in unison.

Comet nodded. "Yeah, we just have to try a bunch of stuff and figure out what you are good at!"

The girls sighed. "We are already doing that..." Sweetie Belle sighed.

Comet snorted. "Yeah, but you haven't done it with somepony like me before." He grinned.

Scootaloo thought about that for a moment, then grinned herself. "Hey, he's right! We can do a lot more if he is around to help us!" She looked back at Comet. "So if we wanted to see if we can get our cutie marks in, uhm..." she thought about it for a moment. "Uhm, railroading, then you could do it, right?"

"Yup yup!" Comet smiled. "I could give you your very own train to drive!"

Now the girls all looked excited again, realizing the possibilities, and how many new things they could suddenly try. It was around this time the girls realized it was getting late. It wasn't too bad, but they did have school tomorrow, and so couldn't spend too much time outside today.

Apple Bloom smiled, looking at comet. "Then tomorrow we will begin our new and improved quest to find our cutie marks!" The other two let out a cheer, and so too did Comet. "Until then, how about some ice cream before we head on home?" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were quick to agree, and so Apple Bloom looked at Comet with a smile. "I wish for us all to have our favorite ice creams!"

Comet smiled, and gave a single nod. "Coming right up!" There was a flash, and in an instant there were three bowls in front of the girls, filled to the brim with ice cream, whipped cream, and with cherries on top. Comet had also been smart enough to make three spoons appear next to the bowls. He smirked as he saw the girls marvel at the sight of the large desserts.

"Wow, these are the biggest bowls of ice cream I've ever seen!" Scootaloo declared, not hesitating for a second before digging into her chocolate ice cream.

Grinning, both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle started to eat their ice creams. After maybe a minute or two, Sweetie Belle looked over at Comet. "So, where is he going to stay?"

"In the snow globe." Scootaloo said with her mouth full.

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. "I know that, but where is the snow globe staying?"

"Well wherever you put it, I won't be able to go far from it." Comet noted, earning him a confused look from the trio.

"Why not?"

"I told you." Comet said. "I'm bound to it, look." He raised his head, stretching his neck. Then they saw it, a glow appeared around Comet's neck, and they watched as a golden chain made of light moved from his collar to the snow globe. "You see?"

"That's horrible!" Apple Bloom frowned.

Scootaloo nodded. "Yeah, that's pretty messed up."

Sweetie Belle looked at Comet, a pleading look in her eyes. "But my wish can set you free, right?"

Comet looked at her, thinking. "Well, as I said, I am not really sure what will happen. You might be able to free me, but I think I would become tied to you three instead."

Without thinking about it a second longer, Sweetie Belle pointed at him and said, "I wish you were free from the snow globe!"

Comet's eyes widened, and having no other option he granted the wish. Before their eyes, it was like the chain shattered, only to then reappear. Only this time, there was no one chain, but three, and neither of them led to the snow globe. Instead each chain led to one of the crusaders.

"Uhm..." Scootaloo hesitated, watching as the chains vanished into thin air. "What just happened?"

Comet looked a little concerned. "I think what just happened was you three got substituted from the snow globe." He looked unsure, something that didn't exactly serve to ease the worries of the fillies. "So my guess is that I am now tied to the three of you..."

"Just like that?!" Apple Bloom asked in disbelief.

Comet shrugged. "I've never had anyone wish for that, not that I recall anyway. Haven't had a master for..." He thought for a few seconds, then shrugged once again. "I don't know, so you girls are probably the first ones to ever have wished for something for me." He grinned.

"So does this mean you can grant us more wishes?" Asked Scootaloo.

"No."

"Drat!"

"Sorry, Scootaloo, but rules are rules." He said with a small sad smile. "Anyway," Comet yawned. "I should get some rest... I'll see you girls tomorrow." Then before any of them could ask what he meant, he vanished in a puff of blue smoke.

Scootaloo waved her hoof in front of her, trying to keep the blue smoke away from her ice cream. "Geez, he could at least have done that a bit farther away."

"So, who should he stay with?" Sweetie Belle asked, moving back to her former question.

Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked expectantly at Apple Bloom, who shrugged. "I don't mind him staying in my room." He nodded to the snow globe. "Reckon he's going to stay there until morning."

"Okay, but let's promise not to make any wishes before we all get together!" Scootaloo suggested.

"Alright, that seems fair." Apple Bloom agreed, and Sweetie Belle nodded too.

The cutie mark crusaders finished their desserts, or tried to at least. It was the best ice cream any of them had ever tasted, but there was simply too much for them to eat. After some time, the three gave up, making sure to throw it out in a bin before they left the park. The three of them said their goodbyes, and Apple Bloom trotted all the way home.

It was already late afternoon, with dinner just around the corner. Apple Bloom couldn't help but let out a groan at the thought of eating dinner. Granny wouldn't have liked it if she knew Apple Bloom had just eaten ice cream, but she just needed to power through it. Besides, when she had wished for ice cream, she had imagined popsicles or something, not huge bowls of luxury ice cream!

Not that she or the others complained about such a minor detail...

As she walked the dirt road leading up to the farm, Apple Bloom thought about what kind of colt Comet was. He was an alicorn, or at least he looked like one. He had no memory of who he was, or why he was even stuck inside a snow globe. The only thing he really seemed to know about was his task of granting wishes, and the rules he had mentioned. This was all really strange, but it was no use speculating on it now. Better wait until he was rested, and then she could ask him more about it tomorrow.

Soon enough Apple Bloom arrived home, she greeted her family, and excused herself before making her way upstairs. Once there, she took off her saddlebag, and took out the snow globe. As she placed it on the bedside table, she was just about to turn around to go to the bathroom, when she noticed something odd.

She looked at the snow globe once more, and found to her surprise that there were multiple lights on inside the castle. Before it had been completely dark, with windows as dark as an abandoned house. Now they were lit, like somepony was actually living inside it.

She frowned, thinking back on Comet, and when they had first seen him step onto the balcony. Did that mean he was actually living inside of that tiny castle? That it wasn't just an empty model?

She leaned a bit closer, trying to see if she could see past the large windows. Sadly, she could not see anything, either the glass was not made to be looked through, or perhaps the light was just too bright. Apple Bloom let out a frustrated grunt, but then shook her head. She could ask Comet about it tomorrow, perhaps he would even have remembered something of who he was?

The more she thought about it, the more she found herself wishing to know... Wait a minute...

"Wish..."

She mumbled, then smiled. That's right, she could wish for him to remember! Yes, once they all gathered tomorrow, she would wish for Comet to remember everything! Sweet apple, she was such a bright filly. With a satisfied smile, she turned around, and trotted to the door. Stopping just for a moment to look back at the snow globe.

"See you tomorrow, Comet." And with that, she left the room.

Author's Note

Sorry there was no major wishes in this chapter. I wanted to get the introduction and some of the basic rules out of the way first.

Anyway, thank you all for sending in your wishes for, well, the CMC's wishes. I should let you know I won't be taking them all, and there is some stuff I won't have them wish for. I hope to do some fun ones where some of them can go wrong, and the girls has to figure out a way to get out of the situations they put themselves in.

Of course, not all wishes ends up being a problem. Scootaloo wishing for herself to be able to fly is a good one, and can happen with no negative consequences.

I hope you all continue to enjoy the story!
