Prompt #350: "In Your Heart"

((A/N: This prompt was in the form of a song, so I ended up writing lyrics to go along with the music here.))

Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were running some errands in town while the Cutie Mark Crusaders were off crusading, but were surprised to see the three fillies moping in the town square. Concerned, they walked up to the trio to see what was bothering them.

“It’s no use,” Sweetie Belle said as they apporached, “we’ll never get our cutie marks.”

“We’ve tried everything, and we still haven’t found what we’re good at,” said Applebloom.

“We should at least have gotten a cutie mark in looking for a cutie mark by now,” Scootaloo said, kicking at the ground.

The three mares looked at each other, and set out to give the young ones some encouragement. To tell them that it didn’t matter if they had found their special talent yet or not, that there was something more valuable than knowing what it is you were meant to do. And what better way to do that then through song.

First came Rarity:

“You may not think that you’re as special

As other ponies who have cutie marks

But what you always must remember

You are still you in your heart”

As she finished, she pointed at her sisters heart, giving her a smile.

Next was Applejack:

“Some folks they might say you’re not special

Just ‘cause you don’t have your own cutie mark

They just can’t see what’s right inside you

Greatness is there in your heart”

She placed her hat on Applebloom’s head. Within seconds, it had fallen over her eyes.

And of course, Rainbow Dash:

“If you’ve had it rough

Think you’ve had enough

You’ve always got a friend

I will be around

When you’re feeling down

I’ll be there right to the end”

Wrapping one wing around the flightless pegasus, she held her in a tight embrace. But she still had more to say, so:

“So you see, you three, we all care for you

And when you’re sad, we’ll be by your side

But when you’re happy, we’ll be happy too

Because we’re your friends at heart”

Finally, the three of them joined their voices together for one last verse:

“So you are all still just as special

As other ponies who have cutie marks

And we’ll be here for you forever

We’ll always be in your heart”
