Hear good, hear ye!
This meeting of the Cutie Mark Crusaders is now in session!
Who wants to do roll-call?
I'm pretty sure we're all here.
Yeah.
Apple Bloom, what's this all about?
Oh, nothin'...
except this letter from Babs Seed
sayin' she's got her cutie mark!
What?!
She says it's a pair of scissors!
So... she's good at cutting stuff?
Of course! She was always fussing with her bangs and tail!
I'll bet she grows up to be a celebrity stylist!
But if she spends all her time cuttin' hair,
who's gonna run the Manehattan CMCs?
Well, not Babs!
She can't be a Cutie Mark Crusader if
she's already got her cutie mark!
Oh, wow. I guess you're right!
I'm glad she's happy,
but I sure wouldn't want to be up to my flank in mane hair all day.
Can you imagine getting stuck
with a cutie mark you didn't like?
No... or at least I hadn't...
Don't worry, Apple Bloom!
Most of your family has apple-related cutie marks!
I bet yours will be, too!
And what's not to like about apples?
There's the core, and sour apples, and rotten apples,
and apples with worms in them- What?
Not helping.
I guess I just spent so much time
worryin' about how to get a cutie mark,
I never even thought about what would happen after!
There's just so many things I never considered!
I'm sure there are, but you don't need to-
What if I finally get my cutie mark and I don't like it?
What if I get my cutie mark and nopony likes me?
Well, that's just ridicu—
What if the Crusaders drift apart?
I mean, we won't really be the Cutie Mark Crusaders anymore!
What if it's not an apple?!
Will I have to move out?! Where will I live?!?!
All right, that's enough, sugarcube.
Those are way too many questions to answer all in one night.
But—
And nopony's gonna make ya move out.
Are you sure, Applejack?
Of course, I'm sure. Now get some sleep.
You'll see.
Everything will be better in the mornin'.
Hush now, little sister
You're loved by all you know
You'll never lose their friendship
No matter where you go
There ain't no call to worry
So don't you cry or fret
A cutie mark won't change you
No matter what you get
No matter what I get.
Hoo-ee! Nothin' like a good night's sleep!
Breakfast!
You were right, Applejack! I feel much better!
I don't know what I was so worried about last night!
See, now what did I tell you?
A good night's sleep'll fix just about an-
Well, no wonder you were so worked up!
What? What is it?
Looks like somepony got her cutie mark!
I can't believe it!
I got my cutie mark!
Wait 'til I tell the others that my
cutie mark is a... a... what is it?
I have no idea what it means.
I know what it means!
It means I can retire!
Infestations? You mean like... Parasprites?
Hah, please, anypony with a trombone can get rid of Parasprites.
I'm talking about the scarier stuff! You ever hear of... twittermites?
Twittermites? Oh.
Pest ponies like you and me are the only things
keeping these live wires from destroying half of Equestria!
Pest ponies?
It's no easy trade!
Even the best of us yearns for the day
they can move on to greener pastures.
Oh, now that you're here to take over my day has finally come!
Take over?
You're gonna need to stop repeating what I say
and pay attention if you're gonna learn anything.
I'm sorry. I guess this just wasn't what I was expectin'.
Don't worry; with a cutie mark like that I'm sure you've got the touch.
The touch? Oh, sorry.
Now, you're gonna need to be quick.
Once these things get out it can get pretty shocking.
Wait, what do you mean?
Ow!
Hah, told you! And the further apart they spread,
the more powerful these jolts will get!
What do I do?!
Call 'em back, of course.
Twittermites!
Bugbugbugbugbugbugbug!
Well, looks like you're all set.
Drop me a note sometime at the Piney Shade Retirement Community.
Now, hold on! I'm sure this job is real important,
but... I don't think I wanna call bugs for the rest of my life.
Hey, where'd he go?
Well, well, well! Look at the new bug pony!
It's pest pony.
Ew, it sure is! Ew!
I might've known you'd end up with the worst cutie mark ever!
But look on the bright side!
Whenever you need a friend, you can just go out and catch one!
That's not funny.
Heeere, friendfriendfriendfriendfrieeend!
Stop it!
Here bug, here bug! Will you be my friend, bug?
Because nopony else will!
You know what? My cutie mark isn't the worst, you two are!
I'd hate to think that Diamond Tiara is right, but...
this cutie mark sure isn't what I was hoping for.
Why should you have to keep it, then?
Who's there?! What do you mean?!
If your cutie mark bothers you so much, get rid of it!
Well if you know how to wave a hoof
and erase a terrible cutie mark, you go right ahead!
As easily said as done.
Huh. Now that is some serious magic.
Hey! Where's everypony goin'?!
Mayor! What's goin' on?!
Apple Bloom, you've got to get your family out of town!
Twittermites!
Here, bugbugbugbugbugbug!
Here, bugs!
Come on, here!
Apple Bloom! What in tarnation are you doin'?!
I'm tryin' to stop the infestation, of course!
Only a pest pony can do that!
Now come on! We gotta skedaddle!
But I've gotta do somethin'!
Are you crazy?!
Whoo-ee. That's what I call a nightmare!
It seemed so real!
Breakfast!
Applejack! You are not gonna believe the dream I just had!
I guess I needed more sleep than I thought!
See, now what did I tell you?
A good night's sleep'll fix just about-
Well, no wonder you were so worked up!
What?
Looks like somepony got her cutie mark!
Again?! I mean... I did? Woo-hoo!
Potion making! Now that's more like it!
More like what?
Never mind.
I'm just glad Princess Twilight's lessons finally paid off!
I expect you'll want to run off to the clubhouse
and tell your friends all about your new cutie mark.
But before you go, make sure you do all your-
chores?
Whooo!
Why all the excitement?
Yeah, what's going on?
Oh, nothin'... except this brand new cutie mark!
That's amazing!
Wow! That's amazing!
I know!
That's so cool! I know!
That's so cool!
I don't suppose either of you got yours?
Nope.
Me neither...
I know it's silly but I'd always hoped we'd get our cutie marks together.
Me too...
But I'm still super excited for you!
Absolutely!
I know! Let's call this meeting to order!
I'm sure the three of us can figure out how to get two more cutie marks!
Um, yeah... the thing is...
What?
Well, you can't be a Cutie Mark Crusader
if you've already got your cutie mark...
Oh, yeah... Just like Babs Seed...
Well, I could just sit quietly in the corner 'til
you two figure out what you're gonna do...
Well, technically the clubhouse is for Crusaders only.
Oh. Right. I guess I should just come back later, then...?
Why? I mean, you can't come in then either.
Oh.
Rules are rules.
I don't even think we're still supposed to be friends.
What?!
Sweetie Belle! Scootaloo! Come on, fillies, this isn't funny!
More trouble with cutie marks?
No! I mean, w- yeah, I mean, well, I got mine,
but my friends didn't get theirs, and now there's all kinds of trouble!
Sounds to me like cutie marks and trouble are two peas in the same pod.
I guess so...
I mean, if I was a blank flank I guess there wouldn't be a problem!
Your wish is my command.
Hey Apple Bloom, why'd you want to meet here?
Well, us blank flanks have to meet somewhere!
Um, actually, Apple Bloom, we... both sort of got our cutie marks.
You did?!
What are they?
Oh, we don't have time to go into all that!
And we certainly don't have time to hang out at an old clubhouse.
Yeah, we've got responsibilities now.
But maybe we'll see you later.
Much later.
Wait! Hold on! I can get my cutie mark back, I think!
Rrgh! I mean, I got it once, right?
Oh, just wait a second!
Nooooooooooo!
What in Equestria's goin' on?!
Breakfast!
I'm not so sure sleep is the cure-all Applejack thinks it is.
Uh... Applejack?
I know you said sleep is supposed to make you feel better, but...
I'm pretty sure it's makin' me feel worse.
See, now what did I tell you?
A good night's sleep'll fix- Well, no wonder you were so worked up...
Wh- didn't you hear what I said?! I was trying to-
Weeeell, what do we have here?
What is it, Granny? What's wrong?!
Oh, nothin', right, Applejack?
Right, nothin' at all. Right, Big Mac?
Truth is, Apple Bloom, it's your cutie mark.
Eeyup.
Oh no, what is it now?!
Well, I can tell you what it ain't. It ain't no apple.
Nope!
What?!
And we don't have room for non-apples.
Nnope.
Time for you to mosey on. You can't stay here.
But this is my home!
Oh, and you're gonna have to change your name.
Eeyep!
I think just 'Bloom' has a nice ring to it, don't you, Applejack?
Eeyup!
Noooooooooo!
Ugh!
Alright, this is getting ridiculous.
Whoo-ee!
I never thought I'd be so happy to not get a cutie mark.
What the?!
I don't wanna see another cutie mark as long as I live!
Back so soon?
All right, whoever you are!
I dunno what spell you went and cast on me,
but I want it to stop right now!
I didn't cast a spell, on you or anypony else.
I only did what you wanted.
Rrrgh! Why would I want you to torment me with nightmares?!
You didn't want to catch bugs, and I helped.
You didn't want to lose friends, and I helped.
If there's a problem with your family, I'm sure I can help with that too.
I didn't want your help! Just get away from me!
Oh Apple Bloom, you can't get away from your own shadow.
Princess Luna?!
My shadow?
What do you mean?
It's just me?
You mean I've been doin' all this to myself?
Of course, Apple Bloom. It's your dream.
If I've been dreamin' this whole time, why don't I just wake up?
Sometimes we can worry about a thing so much
the fear can make us feel we're trapped in a nightmare.
I don't suppose there's anything you're particularly afraid of, is there?
...Yeah...
I guess I've been pretty worried about gettin' my cutie mark.
Well, that is the same as worrying about who you are.
That is what a cutie mark is.
If you cannot accept who you are, your life might seem like a bad dream.
But if I like who I am, you think other ponies will too?
Of course.
Then it doesn't matter what my cutie mark is!
Indeed.
But that's so simple!
I must be the only pony in the universe
that's worried about her cutie mark.
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are havin' nightmares too?!
It's been a busy night for us all,
but I think it's time to bring it to a close.
Princess Luna!
I know you've all had a lot on your minds tonight,
but I think Apple Bloom has something
she'd like to share before you wake.
We're still asleep?!
Cool!
Well, I guess I should call this dreaming
of the Cutie Mark Crusaders to order!
I know we all got pretty anxious
when we found out Babs got her cutie mark,
but I for one don't want to have nightmares
every night from now 'til we get ours!
Me neither!
And even though we're all a little scared,
a cutie mark won't change who we are or how everypony feels about us!
It's lucky we're all scared of the same things.
That way we can just help and remind each other to just be who we are!
And when the day comes that you all finally get your cutie marks,
you can be sure they'll fit you to a T.
Exactly!
Do you fillies think that Babs is worried
or scared about some of this stuff?
I know! Let's put together a care package for her!
That way she'll know she isn't alone!
We wouldn't want her to think that just because she isn't a Crusader,
we can't still be friends!
But, eh... maybe we should wait 'til we wake up.
Good idea.
There ain't no call to worry
So don't you cry or fret
A cutie mark won't change me
No matter what I get
Well, sure looks like somepony's feelin' better.
You have no idea.
See, now what did I tell you?
A good night's sleep cures just about everythin'.
I guess so. I just wish it hadn't been so exhaustin'.
