Listen up! Ah won't tell you this again, so yah better pay attention! Let me ask yah a question! Do you like stories about three fillies and colts trying to find their cutie marks? If not, GET OUT! As for the rest of us, ah think ya'll will enjoy it. First of all, let me tell a little something about myself, my two friends, and the origin of the legendary groups known as The Cutie Mark Crusaders, and the Manehattan Cutie mark Crusaders, it's branch group.
Mah name is Babs Seed. Ah come from a long line of fighters. Yah know that channel on TV that has those cheesy fights between two wrestlers? Well, ah came from that. My father was Hard Seed. He was the legendary champion of the PWE, Pony Wrestling Entertainment. Until one day, some nopony came in and actually beat Hard Seed! People started hatin' Hard Seed cause' he got beat by such a dimwit! That dimwit was Unicron, (Ah know, a really stupid name.) the strongest Unicorn in all of Manehattan! (Ah'm pretty sure he cheated by the way.) So after the fight, mah dad hid from the world, and kept low. He quit the PWE because ponies made fun of him a lot. Then he became a clerk at a grocery store, which was the place he met mah mom at.
Mah mom's Peach Cobbler. She knew about the loss of Hard, and felt sorry. They became friends, best friends, in love, and before you knew it, married. They had "you know what" and soon, they had a filly. Me. Mah dad wanted to name me Bad Seed, but he was drinking water, so they thought he meant Babs Seed. So they named me Babs Seed, though I would've preferred Bad Seed. (Though Ah heard Babs is short for Barbra. Barbra Seed? No thanks.)
Elementary school was a breeze. Ah didn't get bullied, so dat was good. There were plenty of blank flanks in the school. But middle school was dah worst place a blank flank could go to! Almost everypony had their cutie marks, and most of dem were complete jerks. They made fun of me, and soon, Ah had enough. So Ah bought a train ticket, with mah Dad's permission, and spent the next week at Ponyville, a dinky old town where dah 6 Elements are. I met mah favorite cousin Apple Bloom, and mah big bro, Windwaker. (We met at another visit to Ponyville.)
Apple Bloom wanted to recruit me to The Cutie Mark Crusaders! And I thought dat was a good idea, but at dah time, Ah was shy. Like, really shy. (The Flutter kind of Shy. BUH DUM TSS!) Ah guess Ah was scared of being a blank flank. Apple Bloom and two other CMCs took me to see their "float", a giant pumpkin. (Why? Do something cool like a pear!) Ah thought it was a giant orange! And two others thought dat too. They were two jerks named Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They were so rude, their plan of me joining their side ACTUALLY WORKED!
Day after day, we teased and bullied them. But we didn't know they had a plan. They planned to SINK ME IN DAH RIVER! They built a new float, a golden apple, after I destroyed the other one, and they put a trap in the float. I stole dah float, and rode it, not knowing the trap the CMCs placed. But, after a change of heart, Ah guess, they pushed me off dah float, saving my life. I eventually joined the CMCs, making it dah fourth member.
When Ah returned to Manehattan, ponies kept on bullyin' me, but thanks to my new confidence, Ah just ignored dem. Then, Ah found out, most of the time, bullies don't target groups, so Ah decided Ah should make a group! The Manehattan Cutie Mark Crusaders!
Frost was one of mah best friends. (Ah kind of secretly like-like him but don't tell nopony, or your face will be on dah milk carton.) He had a light blue coat, and a blueish silverish mane. He was bullied a lot, like me. So one day, Ah asked him if he wanted to join the MCMC. He said, "Sure. But only if you let my other blank flank friend in as well."
And that leads up to the final member of the MCMC. Butterscotch. She has a white coat with green hair. Ah'm no fashion expert, but even a dummy would say doze colors don't match. Despite her looks, she is a pretty nice filly. And ah think she has the hots for Frost as well. Oh, dah irony, whatever dat meant.
So, one day, we ran out of ideas for finding our cutie marks, so we posted dis thingy on FIMfiction to get ideas from you! Then, after we are done, we post our adventures that you requested in chapters and publish dem on dis story.
It can be anything yah want. Bunny fishing, skydiving, acting, whatevah! So, get busy in dah comments!

Ah bucking hate newspapers.
Newspapers are like the gossip plague. It spreads everywhere, ponies don' like it, (Well, dah sane ones.) and gossip is all that is in there. Poison in reading form, my dad always said.
But ah knew, sooner or later, ah had to become a newspaper seller.
"C'mon Babs!" Wind Waker said to me in the Tardis, his home. (Don't ask where he got it.) "Selling newspapers can get you some extra bits!"
"But ah hate newspapers!" I said and proceeded to tell the exact same thing ah told you earlier to Wind.
"Fine. Be that way." He responded. "But Frost likes newspapers. And you like Frost."
"How did you know!?!" Ah yelled at him angrily.
"I know pretty much everything that goes around in Equestria. I have my sources. But, still, would you do something you're friend and/or crush did?"
Ah sighed. "Yeah. I'll do it."
"Good. Go to the Foal Free Press, which is in the basement of the schoolhouse." Wind walked out of the Tardis. "Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to see a movie with my marefriend."
* * *
The basement of the schoolhouse looked just like a big newspaper office. A white Pegasus colt was sitting in a big, brown, leather chair. He kind of freaked me out a bit.
"Welcome." He said. "I'm Featherweight. You must be Babs Seed."
"Uh, th-that's me." Ah stuttered. "How do yah know about me?"
"Apple Bloom told me about you with the float incident. And I was there to see it happen." Featherweight paused, and then said, "So, what brings you here, Babs Seed?"
"Ah was wondering if yah need somepony to sell newspapers?"
"Actually, we had somepony ask that too!" Mah heart sank when he said that.
"Who?" I asked anxiously. Then I heard the two words Ah dreaded to hear the most.
"Diamond Tiara." Silence filled the room. I was scared.
"What?" I asked rhetorically.
"Uh, Babs Seed?" Featherwheight said. "Your pupils-"
"Became big. Ah know. I sometimes do that when I'm nervous or embarrassed."
"I see. Well, I guess you two will have to prove that you can sell newspapers better." Featherweight said. He passed a package of newspapers to me. "Diamond is selling newspapers in front of the Carousal Boutique. So, I guess whoever sells the most newspapers gets the job." Featherweight got out of his chair and walked in front of me. "I am going to send my intern with you." Featherweight turned his head. "Frost! Over here."
"Frost?" Ah muttered to mahself. And there was Frost.
"Hey Babs!" Frost said to me. "You ready to crush your mortal enemy?" I thought he was joking, but he wasnt.
"Definitely." I said with an evil grin.
* * *
There she was, I thought. Selling newspapers with Silver Spoon. We walked over to where they are.
"Well, well, well." Diamond mocked at me. "Looks like the blank flank's back for more."
"YOU!" Ah yelled at Diamond. "What ah yah doin' here?"
"I'm here to sell newspapers to get extra bits." Diamond replied. "And I guess you two are getting your cutie marks."
"Leave, Diamond. We had enough of your mockery." Frost said. Silver Spoon looked scared.
"Uh, I think my parents are calling me for lunch." Silver said. She bolted out of the scene.
"Stick with time traveling with your stupid brother, Wind Waker." Diamond mocked. And dat pissed me off.
"Say dat again about mah brother. Ah dare yah." Ah said with a serious look.
"I said, stick to time traveling with your stupid brother." Diamond repeated. I was so angry, I punched Diamond on the face.
"Daddy!" She whined as she tripped, fell, got up, and ran out.
"Good job, Babs!" Frost said. "And she left the newspapers here. We can sell them now!"
So that's what we did. We went everywhere, selling newspapers to everypony in town. Even Butterscotch joined. We got SOME bits, but not many. At the end of the day, we looked at our cutie marks, and nothin'! After all our hard work, we didn't get our cutie marks.
"Well dat sucks." I said to Butterscotch and Frost.
"I know." Frost replied. "But at least we got some extra bits. About 20 bits!"
"But what are we going to spend it on?" Butterscotch asked worried.
"Milkshakes." We all replied.
And those milkshakes were delicious. We went to Sugarcube corner and got 3 milkshakes for 12 bits. Ah got strawberry, Frost got vanilla, and Butterscotch got chocolate. Der was only 8 bits left, so we went to our clubhouse, which is an old, abandoned schoolhouse in Manehattan, (We rode on the Tardis from Ponyville to Manehattan.) and got a jar. We put the extra bits for safe keepin', in case we want to get a new clubhouse or somethin'.
And we slept in the clubhouse for the first time. We got sleeping bags and went to sleep. (I got to sleep next to Frost! Whoop-dee-bucking-doo!)
