When a Door Closes a New One Opens

Applebloom has been really wanting her cutie mark lately but they have been difficult so she went to Zecora to ask her advice or if she has a potion that may get her her cutiemark.

Applebloom then noticed that she had a potion called the hearts delight and she took it because she could gain a cutie mark that way.

I grew worried when I heard that Applebloom got a second cutie mark because of the fact that I’ve heard of cutie pox before. It was where ponies had multiple cutie marks on their flank and they had an uncotrable desire to perform each of them it went away on it’s own but a cure would be needed.

So we went to Zecora. She was already in town and thought that everyone was avoiding her again. We explained that something had happened to Applebloom and she knew what.

Zecora said that she had the cure from the seeds of truth but they could only bloom if the words were true and pure. I thought this was a good thing since admitting the truth is the first step to fixing one’s mistakes.

Applebloom then admitted that she took the potion and that’s what was causing the effects. A flower then formed and the cutie pox went away. Applebloom apologized to Zecora and her friends which Spike was proud of her for as it showed she was growing into a better her. She even wrote a letter to the princess telling her what she’s learned with the fact that you may try to take a shortcut for your heart's desire but such dishonesty doesn;t work and you have to earn your heart's desire for it to be true. I was happy for Applebloom for learning such a valuable lesson.
