Sweetie Belle: That bowling sure was fun, even if all I got was gutter balls.
Scootaloo: Yeah, at least you were able to keep your ball in your lane. I don't think Mr. Kingpin is ever gonna let me play again! [Rides her scooter to the extreme as she jumps over a rock] Hey, maybe I could get my cutie mark in demolition!
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: [Laughs]
[Apple Bloom was too upset to enjoy the joke]
Scootaloo: Aw, come on, Apple Bloom.
Sweetie Belle: I know just what you need to put the bloom back on your apple.
Sweetie Belle: A treat from Sugarcube Corner will cheer you up.
Apple Bloom: [Sad] No, it won't.
[Sweetie Belle & Scootaloo thinks of another plan]
[Kazoos blow]
Pinkie Pie: A party will cheer you up!
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: [Blow party whistles]
[Kazoos blow]
Apple Bloom: No, it won't.
[Pinkie Pie crashes down as she fell from Apple Bloom's rejection of her party]
Rarity: A lovely new chapeau will cheer you up.
Apple Bloom: No, it won't.
[Apple Bloom walks away to the direction of the forest]
Scootaloo: Come on, Apple Bloom, it's just a cutie mark!
Sweetie Belle: Or lack of a cutie mark!
Scootaloo: Shh! That's not helping! [Apple Bloom walks to the Everfree Forest] Apple Bloom! Where are you going?! Apple Bloom, come back! [Apple Bloom was angry and left]
[Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were worried and were moving quick to find (Y/N)]
[(Y/N) was working with the construction ponies on the construction of houses for the future guards that were appointed by Princess Celestia herself]
(Y/N): Alright, I think that is enough for the day. It seems we are close to finishing. Alright, ponies... you can head home now. I don't want you all to miss your loved ones.
[All of the construction ponies left to their temporary homes in Ponyville with their families being there.]
[Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were rushing into
Sweetie Belle: (Y/N)!
Scootaloo: (Y/N)!
(Y/N): Girls! How have you been? Sorry I haven't gone to your crusading. I was busy with my role as-
Scootaloo: There's no time.
Sweetie Belle: Apple Bloom was upset and she walked into the Everfree Forest!
(Y/N): [Serious] Continue with what you were going to do. I'll find Apple Bloom in no time. [Flies really fast towards the direction of the Everfree Forest]
Sweetie Belle: He's so fast!
Scootaloo: Yeah!
[Meanwhile with Apple Bloom]
Apple Bloom: [Trips and fall on her face and in groaning in pain] Whoa! Ah! Ooh! Ow! Nnnn...
Zecora: Well, who is it that we have here? Why, it's Apple Bloom, my dear!
Apple Bloom: Ow...
Zecora: What has happened to you, youth? Ah, you've gone and chipped your tooth.
Zecora: Come with me, I have just the trick that will fix you up quite quick.
[Apple Bloom enters Zecora's home]
Apple Bloom: [With a lisp] I've tried everything, Zecora, and still no cutie mark! Well, I'm gonna be as old as Granny Smith and still have a blank flank!
Zecora: Your frustration is well understood, but one must be patient for all things good.
Apple Bloom: [With a lisp] Ugh, I've heard that from every pony I know! And now from every zebra I know! I'm just too impatient to be patient. I just want my cutie mark and I want it now!
[Apple Bloom startled Zecora into dropping too much into the brew]
[Poof!]
[Zecora glares at Apple Bloom as Apple Bloom smiles nervously as she heads away from Zecora's potion brewing]
Zecora: For your cutie mark, you will have to wait. We must fix that tooth before it's too late. [Stirring and pour the potion onto the bowl] Now drink down every little drop, and this mixture will mend that chip on top!
Apple Bloom: [glug, glug]
Apple Bloom: Oh my star apples, you did it, Zecora! [Looking around] Golly, you have tonics that heal all sorts of ailments. Bad bones, bad back, bad breath...
Zecora: Yes little one, it is true, I have many a healing brew.
[(Y/N) opens the door aggressively]
(Y/N): Zecora... have you seen Apple Bloom around here?
Zecora: She is right here.
(Y/N): Apple Bloom... what were you doing in the Everfree Forest all alone? You are lucky Zecora was here.
Zecora: A young pony walking in the forest lost, comes at a great cost.
(Y/N): [Rolls his eyes over the rhyming]
Apple Bloom: I'm sorry, (Y/N). I was just too upset and I want to have my cutie mark now.
(Y/N): Don't fret over it, Apple Bloom. It is best to learn patience.
Apple Bloom: Even you? Everypony and zebra are telling me the same thing.
(Y/N): Why were you at Zecora?
Zecora: She came with a chipped tooth, so I came with a brew in hope to sooth.
Apple Bloom: And not only stuff that fixes the bad, but stuff that brings the good! Good health, good hair... good heavens! [Idea came to her head] Hmm... I bet you can mix up a brew to fix... anything.
Zecora: There are many mixtures in this room, but none for what you want, dear Apple Bloom. A magic potion does not hold the key. For a cutie mark, time is the only remedy.
(Y/N): Trust us, Apple Bloom. You will get your mark in due time. And it will be the greatest moment of your life. Just wait.
Apple Bloom: Fine. Whatcha got goin' on there?
Zecora: I am brewing up another mix for a rooster and his chicks. [Muffled] It seems the rooster has lost his crow, [Normal] making mornings very slow.
Apple Bloom: Hey, I've seen that flower bloomin' in Ponyville! What is it?
Zecora: It is one we call 'Heart's Desire'. A dash will ignite the rooster's fire. With Heart's Desire, his talent comes into view, and he'll give a mighty cock-a-doodle-doo!
(Y/N): Sounds amazing.
Apple Bloom: [Scheming] Zowie! Heart's Desire, huh?
Zecora: Ay me, but what is this? I have run out of amethyst. I must go get this purple flower for my brew to have full power!
Apple Bloom: [Staring at the bowl and the Heart's Desire flower] Yeah, you go, you go. [Smiling]
(Y/N): Apple Bloom? What are you thinking?
Apple Bloom: Don't you see, (Y/N)? With this Heart's Desire, I can get my own cutie mark. Pretty great, huh?
(Y/N): I think this is ridiculous. I don't believe in any way shape or form of artificially making a cutie mark appear. It's just seems dangerous.
Apple Bloom: You don't know that since you never tried. Since you got your cutie mark at a really young age.
(Y/N): My calling was nowhere close to safe compare to other ponies. But that's besides the point... you are not doing this.
Apple Bloom: [Frustrated] You can't tell me what to do.
(Y/N): Yes, I am. I am your brother and a Crusader.
Apple Bloom: [Angry] You are neither! [Covers her mouth]
(Y/N): [Eyes widen then turn to scowl]
[(Y/N) was leaving until he stops at the door]
Apple Bloom: I didn't-
(Y/N): Do whatever you want... [Harsh tone] little one. After I take you out of this forest, I refuse to talk with you.
[Apple Bloom mixed up the special potion and consumes the bowl full of Heart's Desire and went near (Y/N)]
Apple Bloom: Listen, I'm-
(Y/N): [Teleportation spell used to send them to Ponyville] Done. You do your thing and I'll do my thing. Got it. [Teleportation spell]
Apple Bloom: [Frustrated] Well, fine! Who needs him! At least I going to get my Cutie Mark soon.
[Meanwhile at the Golden Oak Library]
Twilight: I hope (Y/N) likes this dish.
Spike: At least you didn't mess up like the other dishes.
Twilight: I think he would love this pasta I made. [Sets it on the table]
[(Y/N) teleports near Twilight and Spike]
Spike: Whoa!
Twilight: Whoa!
Spike: Somepony needs to warn us.
(Y/N): [Angry tone] As if you can.
Twilight: Are you alright?
(Y/N): No. But I'm not in the mood to talk about it.
Twilight: Uhh... okay. How about we eat dinner? I made you Tomato Basil Penne Pasta. Hope you like it.
(Y/N): Okay. I am hungry. [Sits down]
Twilight: I think you will like it.
(Y/N): This looks good. [Takes his fork by levitation and takes a bite] Mmm... this is really good.
Twilight: [Blush] Thank you. I try to make it good for you.
(Y/N): [Levitates his fork with the pasta and motioning it to Twilight] Come on, Twi.
Twilight: [Nervous] Okay. [Opens her mouths]
(Y/N): [Feeds Twilight] [Blush] Do you like it?
Twilight: This is actually really good. I'm happy to know you like my food.
(Y/N): I always liked you. I won't stop loving you just for being a bad cook. [Chuckles] Besides, I'm a good cook myself.
Twilight: Thank you. But I want to cook for you. To show how much I appreciate your company.
(Y/N): Oh, Twi... [Kiss] I love that you care. [Finishes his dinner] I'm heading to bed now.
Twilight: Of course. You must be exhausted.
(Y/N): That's one reason. [Heads to the bedroom and sleeps]
[Timeskip]
[Stop at 4:47]
[(Y/N) is next to Twilight]
(Y/N): [Thinking] Look at the little show off.
[Apple Bloom throws her hula hoop at Twilight grazing her hair into having Rarity's hairstyle]
(Y/N): [Gently pushes Spike] Alright, alright. No funny business with my fiancé!
Applejack: [Whistle] [Bucks the table as a pie and plates]
[Apple Bloom's catches all of them]
[Slices of pie reaching to ponies sitting down landing on top of a plate]
[Ponies were cheering for Apple Bloom except for (Y/N)]
Apple Bloom: [Looks at (Y/N)]
(Y/N): [Walks away]
Apple Bloom: [Felt guilty]
[Time skip to nighttime at Sweet Apple Acres]
Applejack: Yee-haw, little sis! Congratulations on gettin' not just one, but two cutie marks! We're mighty proud of you, right, Big McIntosh?
[Apple Bloom looks tired]
Big McIntosh: Eeyup.
Applejack: I've never seen anythin' like it. Have you, Big Mac?
Big McIntosh: Nnnope.
Granny Smith: Why, the way you were a-hoopin' and a-hoppin' and kickin' and spinnin' reminded me of when I was a spry young filly. [Felt pain] Guh, charley horse, charley horse! [Big Mac taps Granny Smith's hip] Ooh, that's better.
Applejack: Why, Apple Bloom, I think you're ready to hit the rodeo circuit right now!
Apple Bloom: Actually, I'm ready to hit the hay right now. I'm plum tuckered. I'll see y'all in the mornin'. [Heads upstairs] Night!
Applejack: Night! Oh my, little Apple Bloom has finally blossomed, hasn't she, Big Mac?
Big McIntosh: Eeyup!
[Time skip to Applejack sleeping in the early morning]
[Tapping]
Applejack: [Grunting] What in tarnation is that? [Opens the door and checks Apple Bloom's room] Apple Bloom, what is all that awful... tapping? [Gasp] Three cutie marks?!
Apple Bloom: [Tapping due to her tap dancing cutie mark while hooping and plate spinning] Help me!
[Applejack was shocked by this predicament]
Apple Bloom: [Scared] Help me!
Applejack: C'mere, you! [Tries to grab the hula hoop with her mouth but fail] Ow! Ow! [Tries to grab her hooves but shakes away] Whoa!
Apple Bloom: I'm sorry, Applejack! I dunno how to make it stop!
Applejack: Well, I know somepony who might!
[Applejack sends Apple Bloom to Twilight and (Y/N) home]
Applejack: [Knocking]
Twilight: [Opens the door] [Yawn] What are you doing here so late?
Applejack: Twilight... we have a mighty problem in our hand! [Shows her Apple Bloom]
Twilight: Take her inside so I can have a look at this.
Applejack: [Moves Apple Bloom inside the Golden Oak Library]
(Y/N): [Heads downstairs] What is with the incessant tapping!? [Gasp] Apple Bloom... what's wrong with you?
Twilight: [Looks at Apple Bloom's flank and sees three cutie marks] Three cutie marks. Three talents. I've never seen anything like it! I was just reading something about unusual equine illnesses. What was it? [Levitates some books to find the right one]
Spike: 'Perplexing Pony Plagues', perhaps? [Grabs it from the top shelf using a ladder and jumps down to Twilight's back]
[Author's note: The alliteration in that line alone]
Twilight: [Praise] Yes, Spike, you're amazing!
Spike: Yes, well, I do have some talents.
Twilight: [Reads the pages] Hay fever... the trots... [Gasp] Cutie pox!
Apple Bloom, Applejack, (Y/N), and Spike: Cutie pox?!
Twilight: Cutie pox. This puzzling pony plague afflicted a population of ponies back in the Paleopony Period!
Spike: Heh, say that ten times fast!
[Twilight was not impressed by his antics she shoved him off of her back]
(Y/N): Not a good time, Spike.
Twilight: Random cutie marks appeared all over the ponies' bodies, causing them to perform all the talents that came with them!
Apple Bloom: Just like me!
Applejack: [Concerned] Yes, but what's the cure? What's the cure?!
Twilight: [Shocked] It says here there's no known cure!
Apple Bloom, Applejack, (Y/N) and Spike: No known cure?!
Twilight: The cause of the breakout was never discovered, and the cutie pox disappears as mysteriously as they arrived!
Apple Bloom: Oh, no! [A fleur de lie cutie mark appears on Apple Bloom's flank] Sacré bleu! Plus de marques de cutie! [Gasp] Qu'est-ce c'est?! Je parle Français?!
Applejack: [Scared] My sister's speakin' in fancy!
(Y/N): [Deadpan] She's speaking French. [To Apple Bloom] Je suis peut-être en colère contre toi, mais je ne l'ignorerai pas.
Apple Bloom: Merci beaucoup, (Y/N)! Je veux dire que je suis désolé
(Y/N): [Smiles]
Apple Bloom: [Smiles knowing that is the face of a forgiving stallion]
Twilight: What are you saying, (Y/N)? She needs help!
(Y/N): [Hits his face] [Thinking] For a pony that is really smart, she doesn't know some French.
Applejack: I know she needs help! We can't just wait for this to go away! We gotta find somepony to mix up a cure! And fast!
Apple Bloom: Tout de suite!
(Y/N): I know a way to get one.
Applejack: [Angry and shaking him up as she is scared for her sister] Why didn't you tell us!? Tell us!
(Y/N): I don't have a cure, but I know a zebra that might have the knowledge on how to cure this predicament.
Applejack: [Realisation] Zecora!
[Everypony was running to get to Zecora as it is morning]
Applejack: Hurry, hurry!
Apple Bloom: Dépêchez-vous! [New cutie mark appears]
[Jackhammer sounds]
Apple Bloom creates The Birth of Venus (Pony Version)]
[Apple Bloom gets a new cutie mark appearing as a chimney sweeper]
[Another cutie mark appears as she is now an accordion player]
[Accordion playing]
[Ponies were startled by the amount of cutie marks and talents]
[Another cutie mark appears and Apple Bloom is a lion tamer, taming three lions that came out of nowhere for the plot]
[Lions roaring]
[Another cutie mark appears making Apple Bloom a professional chess player beating an old pony in a game of chess]
[Another cutie mark appears as she is now a professional fencer and another fencer appears out of nowhere fencing with Apple Bloom]
[Twilight, (Y/N), and Applejack were worrying while Spike was busy eating popcorn]
Lily Valley: She's cursed!
[Apple Bloom does a circus act balancing herself with a pole]
Rose: Hexed!
[Apple Bloom is flying on a kite]
Daisy: Enchanted!
Spike: No, she's not.
Daisy, Lily Valley and Rose: [Sigh of relief]
Spike: [Oblivious] She just has some weird mysterious disease with no known cure called cutie pox.
Ponies: Cutie pox?! [Screaming and panicking as they hide in their home]
Pony: [Panicking and fighting to run away from Apple Bloom] She's got the cutie pox!
(Y/N): Spike! That's not something you should say to ponies! I had to learn it the hard way in the past. Telling ponies these things even when it is minor causes panic.
[Hawk cry]
[Zecora appears]
Zecora: I thought I had removed their fear the last time that I visited here. But doors are barred and shutters shut. Guess I should've stayed inside my hut.
(Y/N): It's not that, Zecora. It's actually... [Pointing to Apple Bloom]
[Apple Bloom writes an equation]
Zecora: What is going on here? Apple Bloom has more cutie mark than what should appear
Twilight: Zecora! Apple Bloom has cutie pox! We were just on our way to see if you had a cure!
Applejack: But magically you're here! Was your zebra sense a-tinglin'?
Zecora: My 'zebra sense' did not bring me round, it was a special flower that I needed found. I thought I picked enough to fix all the potions I had to mix, but after my visit from Apple Bloom, some had mysteriously left my room. Apple Bloom! What do you say? Did this flower just walk away?
(Y/N): I was there too. You should explain to her.
Apple Bloom: [Window cleaning cutie mark appears] I... uhh...
[Author's note: I guess ponies were prepared for nukes and radiation? I don't know]
Zecora: A cutie pox cure I have forsooth, for healing power is in the Seeds of Truth. [Shows the Seeds of Truth]
Applejack: Well, well then give 'em to her! Quick!
Zecora: These seeds must be planted in the ground. With the truth, they'll grow, and the cure is found.
Applejack: Come again?
(Y/N): The seed grows when one speaks the truth.
Zecora: Indeed. The Seeds of Truth do hold the cure, but one must speak words, [Spoke with slight anger] true and pure.
Apple Bloom: [gulp]
Applejack: Well then let's get to it!
[Applejack plants the seeds on the ground]
Applejack: Alright, they're planted, [Yells at everypony in Ponyville] now somepony tell the truth!
[Apple Bloom continues to get more cutie marks as Pinkie looks at Apple Bloom and everypony nervously]
[Apple Bloom was swirling around like a tornado]
Apple Bloom: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Applejack: [Scared for her sister's life is at stake] Somepony! Anypony! [Most ponies were hiding instead of telling the truth]
Pinkie Pie: [Confessed] Yesterday I told Mrs. Cake that I ate two corn cakes, but I really ate three! [The seeds did not grow prompting Pinkie to truly confess her 'crime'] Okay, six! I ate six corn cakes! [The seeds did not grow] [Cries] Make it stop! Oh, make it stop!
(Y/N): [Frustrated with the ponies not co-operating except Pinkie Pie] I'll say the truth. I was mad at Apple Bloom for not listening to my warning. When I told her, I am her brother and a Crusader, she told me I am neither. I was mad at her until I saw her with three cutie marks and wanted to help her. And I know what Apple Bloom did, but I think the seed would prefer Apple Bloom to tell the truth.
[The seeds were growing but it just wasn't enough]
Twilight: It's working!
Applejack: Apple Bloom?
Apple Bloom: [Confessed] It's me! I admit it! I didn't earn my cutie mark! They're all fake! I figured the Heart's Desire would help me get what I wanted most! So when Zecora left her hut, (Y/N) tried to stop me and I said some hurting words to him and I mixed up a special potion and put the rest of the Heart's Desire in it!
[Ponies awing]
Apple Bloom: [Chomps, chews and swallows] Ahh. [All of her cutie marks disappears as she lies down on the ground]
Sweetie Belle: [Concerned] Apple Bloom!
Scootaloo: [Concerned] Are you okay?
Apple Bloom: I'm great, and I've never been happier to be a blank flank. But I'm awful sorry I lied, 'specially to you gals. I was so desperate for my cutie mark, I just got carried away. [To (Y/N)] I'm really sorry for saying those hurtful things to you. I really didn't mean any of that. I was desperate and I took it out on you, even when you warned me of the danger. [To Zecora] And I'm really sorry I snuck those flowers from you, Zecora. Why, I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted me to come by again.
Zecora: [Lifts Apple Bloom's chin] Now, Apple Bloom, do not be silly. You are always welcome, my little filly. With each mistake you learn something new, growing up into a better you. And you, (Y/N), I am glad you try to warn Apple Bloom, even though her attempts at her goal was doom. You are a different pony from when I last saw you. Now you are blooming into something new. [Zecora disappears like Batman does to Gordon]
(Y/N): This zebra... disappearing when she just gives off her annoying rhyming. [Chuckles]
Twilight: [Shocked at how Zecora disappears and then directs her attention to Apple Bloom] Apple Bloom, would you mind writing to Princess Celestia and telling her what you've learned?
Apple Bloom: I'd be happy to, Twilight! Spike?
Spike: Ready!
Apple Bloom:
Dear Princess Celestia,
Waiting for what your heart desires can be really hard. So, you may try to take a shortcut. But this dishonesty never works, because you didn't earn what your heart desired. The only cure is being honest with yourself and others. And that's something every heart desires.
[Spike blows fire to the scroll as it is sent to Princess Celestia]
(Y/N): That was a great lesson you've learnt.
Applejack: I sure am proud of you, sis. Seems like you finally learned the importance of patience.
Apple Bloom: [Smile] Yup! All good things come to those who wait.
[Moment of silence]
Apple Bloom: Well! I've waited long enough.
[(Y/N), Twilight, and Applejack were startled by this incredible 'patience' of Apple Bloom]
[The Cutie Mark Crusaders were running]
Scootaloo: Actually, that was way too long.
Applejack: What?!
Sweetie Belle: Are you coming, (Y/N)?
(Y/N): [Sigh] Sure, I'll come. I'll leave the construction ponies building the guards home for later. [Flies]
Apple Bloom: So what are we gonna do today to earn our cutie marks?
Scootaloo: Well, I was thinking, for a pony who's never mixed up a potion before, you sure stirred up something fierce.
Sweetie Belle: Yeah! So what if your talent is potion making?
Apple Bloom: Oh my gosh, totally! Let's go talk to Zecora, now!
Sweetie Belle: Yeah!
Scootaloo: Woo-hoo!
(Y/N): Remember to stay close to me. You don't know what happens in the forest. Or do you want a repeat with Fluttershy.
[The Cutie Mark Crusaders were lined up and running behind (Y/N) as he is flying above them]
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Sir, yes sir! [Laughing]
(Y/N): [Laughing]
[End]
