"Anything you can sing, I can sing softer!"

"I can sing anything softer than you!"

"no you can't"

"yes i can"

A few feet away from the singing duo (Rainbow Dash and Trixie if you have the memory of a theoretical goldfish), there was a unicorn. She was a filly, i.e. a child. She was white with a purple and pink mane and green eyes. She was called Sweetie Belle, and was the younger sister of Rarity, who hasn't entered the story yet.

"This town has gone insane."

"I love Rainbow Dash!" said the orange and purple Pegasus (around the same age) called Scootaloo.

"I mean, there are two ponies singing at each other in the middle of the street."

"Go Rainbow Dash!"

"What has the world come to when there are two ponies singing at each other in the middle of the street?"

"I want to be just like Rainbow Dash when I grow up!"

"YEES I CAAAAN!" came a very loud line from the duo.

"Especially when the two ponies singing at each other in the middle of the street are singing this song over and over again."

"Rainbow Dash is winning! Yay!"

"There is literally no way to tell who's winning, Scootaloo."

"Woo! Rainbow Daaash!"

"Heygirlslet'sgogetour CUTIE MARKS!!"

This outburst was from a newly arrived member of the trio: a yellow earth-pony called Apple Bloom. She had a naturally red mane.

She was talking about getting a cutie mark, a mark that naturally appears on a pony's flank depicting their special talent when they discover it. The 'flank' on a pony is basically the hip/thigh area on a human. The three fillies (i.e. girls) had gotten their cutie marks all together for helping other ponies. Each was a tri-colour shield with two other symbols depicting each of the girl's unique talents.

Sweetie Belle pointed to her cutie mark.

"Apple Bloom, we already have our cutie marks-"

"Ah've drawn up some tables, and ah think ah know exactly how we're finally gonna get our cutie marks! Cutie Mark Crusaders, go!"

"We already have our cutie- you know what, why do I even try? I think I'm the only sane pony left in Ponyville. Have fun trying to get a cutie mark you already have. Scootaloo, I'm guessing you're staying here?"

"Go Rainbow Dash! Woo!"

"Yep. Alright. Bye!"

"But don't ya want to get your cutie mark?"

"Byeeee!"

Apple Bloom stared after her receding friend.

"But how are we meant ta' get our cutie marks if we don't work as a team?"

"Go, Rainbow Dash! Rainboooow Dash!"
