1. Let's quiet down, please. We have
a very important lesson to get to.
Copy !req
2. Thank you.
Copy !req
3. Today, we are going to be
talking about cutie marks.
Copy !req
4. Boring.
Copy !req
5. You can all see my cutie mark, can't you?
Copy !req
6. Like all ponies, I wasn't born with a cutie mark.
Copy !req
7. My flank was blank.
Copy !req
8. Awww, the's tho prethious!
Copy !req
9. Then one day, when I was about you age...
Copy !req
10. I woke up to find that a
cutie mark had appeared!
Copy !req
11. Look at her hair!
Copy !req
12. Yes, I know. But honestly, that's how
everypony was wearing their mane back then.
Copy !req
13. I had decided to become a teacher.
Copy !req
14. And the flowers symbolized my hope that
I could help my future students bloom...
Copy !req
15. if I nurtured them with knowledge.
Copy !req
16. The smiles represented the cheer I hoped to bring
to my little ponies while they were learning.
Copy !req
17. Now, can anyone tell me when
a pony gets his or her cutie mark?
Copy !req
18. Oh, oh, oh!
Copy !req
19. When the dithcovers that thertain
thomething that maketh her thpecial.
Copy !req
20. That's right, Twist.
Copy !req
21. A cutie mark appears on a pony's flank...
Copy !req
22. when he or she finds that certain something...
Copy !req
23. that makes them different
from every other pony.
Copy !req
24. Discovering what makes you unique isn't
something that happens overnight.
Copy !req
25. And no amount of hoping, wishing or begging
will make a cutie mark appear before it's time.
Copy !req
26. What?
Copy !req
27. Apple Bloom!
Copy !req
28. Are you passing a note?
Copy !req
29. What could be so important that it
couldn't wait until after class?
Copy !req
30. It's blank!
Copy !req
31. Reminds you of anypony?
Copy !req
32. Want thome thweet? I've got thome peppermint thticks.
Copy !req
33. I made them mythelf.
Copy !req
34. They'll make you thmile!
Copy !req
35. No...
Copy !req
36. I don't know why we had to sit through
a lecture about getting a cutie mark.
Copy !req
37. I mean, waiting for your
cutie mark is so last week.
Copy !req
38. You've got yours...
Copy !req
39. I just got mine.
Copy !req
40. We all have them already.
Copy !req
41. I mean, almost all of us have them already.
Copy !req
42. Don't worry, you two. You're still totally
invited to my cuteceañera this weekend.
Copy !req
43. It's going to be amazing.
Copy !req
44. It's a party celebrating me
and my fantastic cutie mark.
Copy !req
45. How could it not be?
Copy !req
46. Bump, bump
sugar lump rump!
Copy !req
47. Gimme a break.
Copy !req
48. See you this weekend...!
Copy !req
49. Blank Flanks!
Copy !req
50. It's not fair! It's just not fair!
Copy !req
51. Oh, don't get your mane in a tangle.
Copy !req
52. You'll get your cutie mark.
Everypony gets one eventually.
Copy !req
53. But I don't want one "eventually".
I want one right now!
Copy !req
54. I can't go to Diamond Tiara's
cuteceañera without one. I just can't!
Copy !req
55. 'course you can!
Copy !req
56. You know, I was the last pony in my class to get
a cutie mark. And I couldn't be prouder of it.
Copy !req
57. I knew my future was to run Sweet Apple Acres
and these bright shiny apples sealed the deal.
Copy !req
58. Come to think of it, Granny Smith
was the last one in her class too.
Copy !req
59. Same with Big Macintosh.
Copy !req
60. I really don't see how that's
supposed to make me feel better.
Copy !req
61. That probably means that being the last one in
your class to get a cutie mark runs in the family.
Copy !req
62. Runs in the family...?
Copy !req
63. Runs in the family!
Copy !req
64. RUNS IN THE FAMILY!
Copy !req
65. You've got apples for your cutie mark...
Copy !req
66. Granny Smith has an apple pie...
Copy !req
67. Big Macintosh has an apple half...
Copy !req
68. My unique talent must have
someth'n to do with apples!
Copy !req
69. Apples! Apples! Apples!
Copy !req
70. Apples.
Copy !req
71. Get you delicious, nutritious apples here!
Copy !req
72. Delicious and nutritious! And so many uses!
Copy !req
73. You can eat 'em...
Copy !req
74. Play with them...
Copy !req
75. Hey, watch it!
Copy !req
76. Create fine art for your home with them...
Copy !req
77. You have to be crazy not to get
a bushel of your very own.
Copy !req
78. She's so creative...!
Copy !req
79. You, sir!
Copy !req
80. Care about some apples?
Copy !req
81. Uh... no thanks.
Copy !req
82. Why not?
Copy !req
83. I have plenty at home.
Copy !req
84. Are you sure?
Copy !req
85. Yes, I'm pretty sure...
Copy !req
86. You're *pretty* sure.
Copy !req
87. But You're not absolutely, positively
completely super-duper sure. Are you?
Copy !req
88. Uh... if I buy some apples,
will you please leave me alone?
Copy !req
89. Awright!
Copy !req
90. You forgot your change!
Copy !req
91. That's how you sell some
apples and get a cutie mark.
Copy !req
92. So, what does my cutie mark look like?
Copy !req
93. A shoppin' bag full of apples?
A satisfied customer eatin' an apple?
Copy !req
94. Maybe I gotta increase my sales figures first.
Copy !req
95. You touch it, you buy it!
We take cash or credit.
Copy !req
96. I'm sorry, ma'am...
Copy !req
97. Ma'am!
Copy !req
98. Now, Apple Bloom, you can't just...
Copy !req
99. That'll be four bits.
Copy !req
100. I didn't put those in my bag!
Copy !req
101. Likely story... Four bits, lady!
Copy !req
102. Apple Bloom!
Copy !req
103. I am really, really sorry about that. She's new.
Copy !req
104. Here, take these. No charge.
Copy !req
105. And these.
Copy !req
106. And these.
Copy !req
107. Ya'll come back, now, ya hear?
Copy !req
108. What?
Copy !req
109. Sorry, little sis, but your
applesellin' days are over.
Copy !req
110. What? But how else am I
gonna get my cutie mark?
Copy !req
111. Home! Now!
Copy !req
112. Listen, sugar cube. I know it's hard
to wait for your very own cutie mark.
Copy !req
113. But you just can't force it.
Copy !req
114. Besides, your not that grown up just yet.
Copy !req
115. Ain't there other fillies
in your class without one?
Copy !req
116. Well... Twist doesn't have hers yet.
Copy !req
117. Do you think it'd feel better
if you went to the party with her?
Copy !req
118. Well, there you go!
Copy !req
119. Bet you and Twist will have
a great time together.
Copy !req
120. Now run along and find your friend.
Copy !req
121. You're sure you don't want me to stick
around till the end of the market?
Copy !req
122. Hey! Who's been using my racket?
Copy !req
123. Yeah. I'm sure.
Copy !req
124. Oh. What'th up, Apple Bloom?
Copy !req
125. So I was thinkin'.
Copy !req
126. Maybe we could go to Diamond
Tiara's cuteceañera together?
Copy !req
127. I don't have a cutie mark, you
don't have a cutie mark...
Copy !req
128. Well, um...
Copy !req
129. Ithn't my cutie mark thwell?
Copy !req
130. I've alwayth loved making
my own favorite thweets...
Copy !req
131. but it took me thome time to dithcover
that it wath my thuper thpecial talent.
Copy !req
132. Pretty thweet, huh?
Copy !req
133. Yeah... Pretty... sweet.
Copy !req
134. Hey... This doethn't mean we can't
go to the cutetheañera together.
Copy !req
135. You're thtill gonna come to the party, aren't you?
Copy !req
136. Of course she will.
Copy !req
137. It's not like being the only pony there
without a cutie mark would be, like...
Copy !req
138. the most embarrassing thing ever.
Copy !req
139. Whoa...
Copy !req
140. Looks like somepony's got a dark
cloud hanging over her head.
Copy !req
141. Let me do something about that.
Copy !req
142. What's the matter, kid?
Copy !req

Copy !req
146. I WANT IT NOW!
Copy !req
147. Cutie mark? I can get you a cutie mark like that.
Copy !req
148. Applejack says these things take time.
Copy !req
149. I have to just wait for it to happen.
Copy !req
150. Why wait for something to happen
when you can make it happen?
Copy !req
151. But Applejack says...
Copy !req
152. Hey, who are you gonna listen to?
Copy !req
153. Applejack...
Copy !req
154. or the pony who was first in
her class to get a cutie mark?
Copy !req
155. I always liked flying n' all but
I was going nowhere in a hurry.
Copy !req
156. It wasn't until my very first race that
I discovered a serious need for speed.
Copy !req
157. And KAZAM!
Copy !req
158. This sweet baby appeared as fast as a lighting.
Copy !req
159. That's right!
Copy !req
160. Stretch out those legs. Gotta be nice and loose.
Copy !req
161. The key here is to try as many things
as possible as quickly as possible.
Copy !req
162. One of them is bound to
lead to your cutie mark.
Copy !req
163. Are you ready?
Copy !req
164. I'm ready!
Copy !req
165. I said...
Copy !req
166. ARE YOU READY?
Copy !req
167. I'M READY!
Copy !req
168. Jugglers, go!
Copy !req
169. Hang gliding, go!
Copy !req
170. Karate, go!
Copy !req
171. Kite flying, go!
Copy !req
172. Ultra-Pony Roller Derby, go!
Copy !req
173. Tried that one... tried that one... tried that one...
Copy !req
174. Your new outfit is, like, perfect for the party.
Copy !req
175. I know. It totally shows off my new cutie mark.
Copy !req
176. I love being special.
Copy !req
177. Can you imagine how embarrassing
it must be to be... not special?
Copy !req
178. I don't even want to, like, think about it.
Copy !req
179. Tried that one... Huh, tried that one...
Copy !req
180. I'm doomed. Doomed! I'll never find somethin' I'm good at.
Copy !req
181. You look like you'd be good at eating cupcakes.
Copy !req
182. Eatin' cupcakes?
Copy !req
183. Eating cupcakes?
Copy !req
184. Eating cupcakes!
Copy !req
185. I really appreciate all your help, Rainbow Dash.
Copy !req
186. You're really great coach and
I've learned a lot from you...
Copy !req
187. and I'm sure I can learn a lot more, but...
Copy !req
188. I've got some cupcakes to eat!
Copy !req
189. See you at the cuteceañera!
Copy !req
190. Hold on, Pinkie Pie! I'm comin'!
Copy !req
191. I can't believe I didn't think of this.
Copy !req
192. A cupcake eatin' cutie mark. It's so obvious!
Copy !req
193. Now, where are those cupcakes?
I'm ready to chow down!
Copy !req
194. I don't have any cupcakes.
Copy !req
195. Oh.
Copy !req
196. But you look like you'd be good
at helping me make some!
Copy !req
197. I guess, uh, "makin' cupcakes"
cutie mark could work too.
Copy !req
198. All you have to do is take a cup of flour,
add it to the mix.
Copy !req
199. Now just take a little something sweet, not sour.
A bit of salt, just a pinch.
Copy !req
200. Baking these treats is such a cinch,
add a teaspoon of vanilla.
Copy !req
201. Add a little more and you count to four
and you never get your fill of...!
Copy !req
202. Cupcakes, so sweet and tasty!
Copy !req
203. Cupcakes, don't be too hasty!
Copy !req
204. Cupcakes! Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes!
Copy !req
205. Hot! Hot! Hot!
Copy !req
206. Those look much better than the last batch.
Copy !req
207. Guess I'm not cut out to be a baker either.
Copy !req
208. I just have to face it.
I'm gonna have a blank flank forever.
Copy !req
209. What about that?
Copy !req
210. What about what?
Copy !req
211. Is there someth'n on my flank?
Is there, is there, is there?
Copy !req
212. A cutie mark! It's up!
Copy !req
213. A... a measuring cup? No.
Copy !req
214. A mixin' bawl? No.
Copy !req
215. Are those cupcakes?
Copy !req
216. A tower of cupcakes, maybe?
Copy !req
217. Flour! It's flour!
Copy !req
218. Yay! I guessed it! What game
do you wanna play next?
Copy !req
219. Please say bingo, please say bingo...
Copy !req
220. Whoa...! What's been going on in here?
Copy !req
221. We've been making cupcakes. Wanna try one?
Copy !req
222. No, thank you. Not that they don't look...
Copy !req
223. delicious.
Copy !req
224. Twilight! You have to help me!
Copy !req
225. What's the matter?

231. I don't follow.
Copy !req
232. How can I help you?
Copy !req
233. You can use your magic to
make my cutie mark appear.
Copy !req
234. Oh no, Apple Bloom.
Copy !req
235. A cutie mark is something that
a pony has to discover for herself.
Copy !req
236. Please, Twilight. Just try.
Copy !req
237. I'm sorry, but...
Copy !req
238. Oh please, please, please, please, pleeeaaase!
Copy !req
239. Alright, alright.
Copy !req
240. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Copy !req
241. Yes! I knew you could do...
Copy !req
242. it.
Copy !req
243. I'm sorry, sweetie. But I told you...
Copy !req
244. Try again! Try again!
Copy !req
245. Told you that not even magic can make
a cutie mark appear before it's time.
Copy !req
246. It's hopeless. Hopeless!
Copy !req
247. I just won't go to the party. I can't go!
Copy !req
248. Everyone will just laugh at me and
make fun of me and call me names.
Copy !req
249. It'll be the worst time of my life.
Copy !req
250. I'm sure it won't be as bad as all that.
Copy !req
251. Forget it. There's no way I'm going to that...
Copy !req
252. party.
Copy !req
253. How could I've forgotten the time?
Copy !req
254. How could I've forgotten
Pinkie Pie was hostin' the party?
Copy !req
255. How could I've forgotten
it was at Sugarcube Corner?
Copy !req
256. Don't forget you party hat...
Copy !req
257. Forgetty Forgetterson.
Copy !req
258. I have to get out of here
before anypony sees me.
Copy !req
259. Hey!
Copy !req
260. It's my cuteceañera.
Copy !req
261. I'm supposed to get the first bite of cake.
Copy !req
262. Okay, Apple Bloom. Almost there...
Copy !req
263. Apple Bloom! You made it!
Copy !req
264. After I heard about Twist, I was
afraid you wouldn't show up.
Copy !req
265. I sure am glad you came to your senses
about this all cutie mark thing.
Copy !req
266. These things happen when these
things are supposed to happen.
Copy !req
267. Tryin' to rush it will just drive you crazy.
Copy !req
268. I'll let you be. Looks like your
friends want to talk to you.
Copy !req
269. Well, well, well. Look who's here.
Copy !req
270. Nice outfit.
Copy !req
271. Just someth'n I, uh, pulled together last minute.
Copy !req
272. It really shows off your cutie mark.
Copy !req
273. Oh, wait. That's right. You don't have one.
Copy !req
274. I have a cutie mark.
Copy !req
275. What? Since when?
Copy !req
276. Since, um... earlier today.
Copy !req
277. Oh really? Let's see it.
Copy !req
278. I shouldn't. I couldn't.
Copy !req
279. My cutie mark is so unbelievably amazing.
Copy !req
280. I'm afraid that if I showed it off...
Copy !req
281. everyone would start paying
attention to me instead of you.
Copy !req
282. Outshined at your own cuteceañera?
Copy !req
283. Can you imagine how
embarrassing that would be?
Copy !req
284. Uh, forget it.
I didn't really want to see it anyway.
Copy !req
285. Okay! Well, I'm gonna go mingle.
Copy !req
286. Enjoy your party!
Copy !req
287. Oh no!
Copy !req
288. Wow, that IS an amazing cutie mark.
Copy !req
289. Nice try...
Copy !req
290. Blank Flank!
Copy !req
291. You got a problem with blank flanks?
Copy !req
292. I said, you got a problem with blank flanks?
Copy !req
293. The problem is, I mean, she's,
like, totally not special.
Copy !req
294. No, it means she's full of potential.
Copy !req
295. It means she can be great at anything.
Copy !req
296. The possibilities are...
Copy !req
297. "like, endless".
Copy !req
298. She could be a great scientist...
Copy !req
299. or a amazing artist...
Copy !req
300. or a famous writer.
Copy !req
301. She could even be
mayor of Ponyville some day!
Copy !req
302. And she's not stuck being stuck-up like you two.
Copy !req
303. Hey! This is MY party,
why are you two on HER side?
Copy !req
304. Because...
Copy !req
305. You don't have your cutie marks either?
Copy !req
306. I thought I was the only one!
Copy !req
307. We thought we were the only two.
Copy !req
308. I for one think you are three very lucky fillies.
Copy !req
309. Lucky? How can they be lucky?
Copy !req
310. They still get to experience
the thrill of discovering who they are...
Copy !req
311. and what they're meant to be.
Copy !req
312. And they've got all the time
in the world to figure it out.
Copy !req
313. Not just an afternoon.
Copy !req
314. - Wow, Apple Bloom.
- Do you really think you can be a mayor?
- I wish I could be a scientist.
Copy !req
315. Maybe I got my cutie mark too soon?
Copy !req
316. Hey, what's everypony doing?
Copy !req
317. This is my party, everypony's supposed
to be paying attention to me!
Copy !req
318. Whatever. We still think you're
losers. Right, Diamond Tiara?
Copy !req
319. - Bump, bump, sugar lump...
- Not now, Silver Spoon.
Copy !req
320. Name's Scootaloo.
Copy !req
321. And I'm Sweetie Belle.
Copy !req
322. Apple Bloom.
Copy !req
323. This thong is tho thuper!
Copy !req
324. So I was thinkin'. Now that we're friends...
Copy !req
325. I mean, we are friends, right?
Copy !req
326. How could we not be? We're totally alike.
Copy !req
327. We don't have cutie marks...
Copy !req
328. Diamond Tiara and Silver
Spoon drive us crazy...
Copy !req
329. Totally crazy!
Copy !req
330. Now that we're friends...
Copy !req
331. what if the three of us work together to find
out who we are and what we're supposed to be?
Copy !req
332. We could form our own secret society.
Copy !req
333. I'm liking this idea!
Copy !req
334. A secret society! Yeah.
Copy !req
335. We need a name for it though.
Copy !req
336. The Cutie Mark Three?
Copy !req
337. The Cutastically Fantastics?
Copy !req
338. How about...
Copy !req
339. The Cutie Mark Crusaders?
Copy !req
340. It's perfect!
Copy !req
341. - This is gonna be so great!
- We're gonna be unstoppable!
Copy !req
342. What do you say we celebrate
with some of these delicious cupcakes?
Copy !req
343. Not the cupcakes! Trust me.
Copy !req
344. Let's see if there are any cookies!
Copy !req
345. - Yeah!
- Come on!
Copy !req
346. "Dearest Princess Celestia."
Copy !req
347. "I am happy to report that
one of your youngest subjects..."
Copy !req
348. "... has learned a valuable
lesson about friendship."
Copy !req
349. "Sometimes the thing you think will cause
you to lose friends and feel left out..."
Copy !req
350. "... can actually be the thing that
helps you make your closest friends..."
Copy !req
351. "... and realize how special you are."
Copy !req
