Origin of a cutie mark
If you look closely, in the front right seat is a filly with Scootaloo's model, and in the front left seat is a filly with Sweetie Belle's model.
A little pony who likes flowers?
A silver spoon cutie mark. Guess the owner's name.
How does an Earth pony do archery?
Cheerilee's cutie mark: three happy flowers.
Cheerilee getting ready to teach her class about cutie marks.
Cheerilee's students, ready to learn
Look, it's absolutely nothing!
Cheerilee starts her lesson.
Examples of cutie marks.
Diamond Tiara, who has her cutie mark, finds the lesson "boooring"!
Hm, is that a portrait of Celestia in the background? Guess she IS always watching...
Apple Bloom with a pencil in her mouth.
Whoa! What a comparison!
Cheerilee as a filly
"D'awwwww"
"Then one day, when I was about your age, I woke up to find that a cutie mark had appeared."
Cheerilee as a teenager, in very stereotypical '80s punk style
Pshh, everypony look at how funny Cheerilee looked!
Did Cheerilee change her tail?
"Yes I know, but honestly, that's how everypony was wearing their mane back then."
My hooves, they look good.
Oops, is that Sweetie Belle before her debut later in the episode? Hm, and another Celestia portrait in the background... they appear to be everywhere...
It takes skill to write like that.
Hey, can you hear me?
I'm a good angel.
Passing a note
Pass the note here, please.
Apple Bloom just being nice...
Apple Bloom getting caught.
Getting scolded for passing a note.
I spy ... a note on the ground!
Blank just like Apple Bloom's flank.
Seriously guys...?
Apple Bloom's flank is completely blank.
Great, now the whole class knows! And Sweetie Belle has been replaced by a teal coated, gold haired imposter!
After class
The schoolhouse.
Twist seems pretty happy about something.
Yet Apple Bloom is so sad...
Why are you so sad?
Why you not happy, like me?
Your happiness is making me more sad...
You need to cheer up, Apple Bloom!
Not this again...
What the hay? Where did you two come from?!
Oh, nowhere at all. Just caught up to say "what's up?"
There is a spy in our midst...
As if you haven't already done this before.
Careful, it seems Twist is prone to biting other fillies.
Butting in much?
Why the heck are you so adorably snooty, Diamond Tiara?
Apple Bloom staring off into space for no reason.
Apple Bloom: Who are you again?
Where'd you come from?!
Diamond Tiara: Get a good close look at my face...
Epic dancing time!
I'm so glad we're such good friends.
Let's show off our cutie marks again!
Grr, I'm angry now after being sad for so long.
Let's stylishly walk away while we laugh and talk.
What'd they say? They're so far away!
I got so angry... that now I'm sad again....
Applejack helping out
Apple Bloom telling her problem to Applejack.
Applejack about to pick up an apple.
She doesn't look cheered up.
Applejack's attempts to cheer her sister up. Don't seem like they're working.
Why, I remember when I got my cutie mark.
I can hear the apples...
"Runs in the family!"
Applejack, a happy farm pony.
I'm suddenly cheered up.
Happy...
"My unique talent must have something to do with apples!"
"Apples!"
"Apples!!"
"Apples!!!"
"Heh... apples."
Lyra talking to Tornado Bolt, while Cherry Berry is in the background with Shoeshine.
Lucky Clover, walking past Applejack and Apple Bloom.
Juggling an apple on her head.
Swallowing an apple whole? Wow Apple Bloom.
Golden Harvest and Shoeshine, when Apple Bloom tells them to buy apples.
The jump...
...and a perfect hit!
That's one way to make apple juice
About to kick an apple.
It's Art!
You sir!
Care to buy some apples?
Ah!
Listen kid, I ain't got time for this!
Come on, buy an apple and I'll leave you alone!
You know you want to!
Seriously! Buy an apple; it'll do you some good.
Poker Face
Ooh, flying bits.
The bits land perfectly in her pocket.
Gee, thanks sir?
It's called, You can keep the change Applejack.
What in Equestria, 'lil 'sis?
Everyday I'm twistin'!
"Hmmm..."
First of all, what was Berryshine trying to do?
Do I have to tell you the rules?
"You touch it, you buy it!"
"We take cash or credit..."
What's going on with you, Berry?
Scared, Berryshine.
Applejack doesn't look pleased.
Apple Bloom secretly puts apples in a pony's bag
Officially the most popular Sweetie Drops voice.
"Likely story..."
"Four bits!"
Put a sock (or hoof, in this case) in it!
"Apple Bloom!"
Not impressed...
..Here, take these too.
Sweetie Drops doesn't like buckets of apples.
Gosh these are heavy.
Now to scold a certain yellow filly.
An angry Applejack.
Angry Apple Bloom.
Now, listen here sugarcube.
Listen 'lil sis, you'll earn your cutie mark eventually.
I'm sure sugarcube, now go on and find your friends.
Apple Bloom looks reassured.
Who's been using my racket?!
Rainbow Dash helping out
"So I was thinkin'... maybe we could go to Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera together."
Twist earned her cutie mark!
Le gasp!
Le checking out Twist's cutie mark.
"Pretty sweet, huh?"
Now, Apple Bloom is even more upset.
Look at me, I'm miserable!
Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara walking by.
Hearing the words from the bullies' mouths.
Apple Bloom about to cry...
Rainbow to the rescue.
"What's the matter, kid?"
About to tell Rainbow her problem.
Now I'm gonna block out the rest of the world
Can you help me?
"Hey, who are you gonna listen to, Applejack, or the pony who was first in her class to get a cutie mark?"
A fast Rainbow Dash.
"The key here is to try as many things as possible as quickly as possible.
"One of them is bound to lead to your cutie mark."
"Are you ready?"
"I said, Are you ready?!"
"*Tweeeeeet!*"
"Juggling, go!"
Guess juggling isn't her special talent.
"Hang-gliding, go!"
Looks like this isn't her talent either.
Rainbow Dash has a black belt.
"Karate, go!"
Karate Bloom!
Ow!
Flat on her back.
"Kite-flying, go!"
Too bad, kite flying would have been a nice cutie mark.
"Ultrapony Roller Derby, go!"
Apple Bloom blushing.
Oh no!
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walk by while Dash is trying to think of new ideas.
"Tried that one, tried that one, tried that one..."
I give up!
"You look like you'd be good at eating cupcakes."
I mean I did give up, but cupcakes sound tasty right now.
"Eating cupcakes?"
"Eating cupcaaakes!"
Apple Bloom takes her leave.
Pinkie Pie helping out
I don't have any cupcakes
You'll need that, Apple Bloom.
"All you have to do is take a cup of flour, add it to the mix!"
"Now just take a little something sweet, not sour!"
"A bit of salt, just a pinch!"
Yeah!
"Baking these treats is such a cinch!"
Balancing a tray on her head.
"Add a teaspoon of vanilla!"
Teaspoon vanilla.
"Add a little more and you count to four, and you never get your fill of..."
"Cupcakes!"
"So sweet and tasty-"
"Cupcakes!"
"Don't be too hasty!"
Awkward smile, let Pinkie help you out.
"Cupcakes,"
"cupcakes,"
"cupcakes,"
"cupcakes!"
These are much better than the last batch!
Apple Bloom still thinks they taste terrible
Don't cry, charcoal cupcakes are great!
Flour for a cutie mark? Never seen that one before.
Pinkie notices a mark on Apple Bloom's flank.
She sees a white blotch and imagines what it might be...
A measuring cup?
A bowl?
Cupcakes?
"Flour. It's flour! Yay! I guessed it."
"What game you wanna play next? Please say bingo, please say bingo."
Twilight Sparkle helping out
Hey Twilight! Wanna try some cupcakes?
Wow, I'll be sure to tell Applejack about her sister's baking skills.
Twilight passes on Pinkie's cupcakes.
I'm so super doomed.
You can use magic to make my cutie mark appear!
Pinkie Pie's cutie mark.
Back to stirring!
Apple Bloom begs Twilight to use her magic to give her a mark
Yay!
Twilight makes the attempt
First is a wheelbarrow full of apples, but it quickly fades
Please Twilight?
Second is a pink kite.
Third is three white cupcakes.
Fourth is a blue teddy bear.
Fifth is a red tricycle.
My cutie mark!
The thirteenth, a trio of brown footballs, is Twilight's last attempt, which also fails.
Aww Twilight.
The cute-ceañera
This is going to be the worst moment of my life.
"Forget it. There's no way I'm goin' to that-"
"...party."
Trying a cupcake...
Ooh, bad cupcake!
Noi, attends the party too.
Diamond Tiara in her beautiful ballerina dress.
Twist talking to Cotton Cloudy.
Ah, I'll hide behind this chocolate pony.
It seems that Apple Bloom forgot Pinkie Pie was hosting the party
"Don't forget your party hat, 'Forgetty Forgetterson'!"
Apple Bloom, hiding behind a big cake.
The cake looks scrumptious to Snails.
Wow, and here I had thought only Pinkie could manage bites that big.
Apple Bloom's cover is ate.
They hear something...
Diamond Tiara scolds Snails...
As Apple Bloom jumps to find a new hiding place.
What a hat, Lily Dache! You've really outdone yourself!
Ooh, balloons!
Ooh noo.
Cute-ceañera party balloons
Royal Pin sure is pokey!
Do the Pony Pokey and poke some balloons!
Completely oblivious.
Gotta find a new cover.
Hope they don't see me.
Piña Colada and Princess Erroria at the party.
Berryshine walks by...
..I could use a drink..
..Nopony is watching right?
*sluurp*
Berryshine being her typical self.
Ah, I've been caught!
Applejack unintentionally stopping Apple Bloom's escape plan.
Cotton Cloudy with Dinky.
Diamond's wicked glare.
Ooh, I know.
Improvised dress.
What, this old thing?
Devious grin.
Here comes trouble.
And a serious Silver Spoon.
(Wow, she's actually buying it?)
Just forget it.
Their attention has been turned.
Uh-oh...
Busted!
"Nice try, blank flank!"
Laughing bullies.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo protect Apple Bloom
They were hiding too.
"I said, "You got a problem with blank flanks?!"
Just because she doesn't have a cutie mark yet, doesn't mean that she's not special!
Her possibilities are, like, endless! And my eyes are like, wierd looking!
Coming to her rescue.
She could even be mayor of Ponyville someday!
And she's not being stuck up like you two!
Confused bullies.
Happy to see that there are other fillies with blank flanks.
Twilight Sparkle attended. Who knew?
They just don't know special, when they see it.
What you saying?
The Cutie Mark Crusaders!
Apple Bloom, grinning.
They've got all the time in the world.
The fillies paying attention to Apple Bloom and her friends.
No bump bump sugar lump rump, Silver Spoon!
Diamond Tiara, clearly not in a good mood.
Spoon and Tiara watching The Crusaders get all the attention.
Twist dancing with other fillies. It won't be "So super" when she sees her glasses are broken.
Cheers!
The Founding Mothers' very first meeting.
Thanks for standing up for me, guys.
Now that We're friends, we name for our new club.
They both drive us totally crazy!
This idea is awesome.
Scootaloo, thinking hard.
Ooh, I got one.
How about my idea?
Hey, where'd the flying cupcake come from? This calls for a fanfic.
DON'T... EAT... THE.... CUPCAKE. It tastes of ashes.
Cookie splattered.
The reaction when Scootaloo didn't catch the cookie.
"Sometimes, the thing you think will cause you to lose friends and feel left out..."
"...can actually be the thing that helps you make your closest friends and realize how special you are."
