>"And that's why we have ball emergencys.

Thanks for explaning that pinkie. I would have never have known.

>"No problem Anon! Now you know!"

>"And knowing is half the battle!" cheerilee says

>"Na-Na-Naaaa" they both say at the same time

>You swear to celestia you heard that somewhere before

>Anyway

>You three arrive at the treehouse.

>The pie pinkie gave you smells good and is still warm.

Hey girls? You still up there?

>A brief pause

>Applebloom pokes her head out the window.

>"What do y'all want?

>"What do we want?" Pinkie says

>"Were to turn that frowny-downy into a smiley-whiley silly filly!"

>Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo pop their heads out too.

>"Oh yeah? How?" Scootaloo asks.

Well, we brought you a pie in hopes of cheering up.

>They look at the pie for a brief second

>"Really?" Scootaloo says

>Well fuck

We just hate seeing you like this. Please come down and cheer up.

>"Well, why should we? All this work for a cutie mark and nothing to show for it. We may as well stay up here. Were an annoyance to people in ponyville anyway." Sweetie Belle says

>"Oh, yeah? And how is that?" cheerilee asks

>"Well, the time we ruined Carrot Top's carrot field trying to get our cutie marks in rollerskating." Applebloom says.

>"And the time we broke fluttershy's window trying to get them in kickball. Sweetie belle adds

>"Dont forget the time where we almost set anon's house on fire trying to juggle." scootaloo adds

>I wanna know how that was gonna play out...

>"You guys arent an annoyance! You guys are awesome!" pinkie says

>"Whatever. It still hasn't gotten our cutie marks..." sweetie belle says

>"Dont worry about those silly filly! Those will come in time!

>"No they wont!" scootaloo speaks up

>"We have tried over and over again to find out what are special talents are. It has been months and everyone else in our class has them. Except for us. We wont ever be special, and nothing can change that." she continues

>"You girls are special! How can you think that you're not? cheerilee adds

>"Im sorry ms.cheerilee, but were not special at all. We all came to accept that now." applebloom answers

>The three retreat back into the treehouse

>"Girls wait! I-" pinkie says

Its ok pinkie. Let it go. Lets leave them alone for now.

"But anon-"

No. Trust me. We will get them out of this.

>You look at cheerilee

>She is looking down at the ground

>you can tell she is feeling sad for them

>you kneel down to eyelevel and she looks you in the eye

I promise.

>She smiles at you and gives you a hug.

>you return the hug and stand up and turn to pinkie

Ok, pinkie lets go.

>"But, they're still-"

>You grab her and pin her down.

>"Anon, what are you-"

>Pinkie pie starts laughing like a maniac

>Probably because youre tickling her

>"N-no! S-stop anon! Stop! That tickles!

>after about thirty seconds you let go of her

>she is still giggling.

>"That was fun anon!

I know were gonna cheer them up pinkie. Dont worry.

>you smile at her

>she smiles back

I cant believe they dont think theyre special

>you look up at the treehouse

Those three will be more special to me than they will ever know.

>"Theyre the ones who helped you adjust to life in ponyville. I remember you telling me." says cheerilee

Yeah. How sweetie belle helped me get a job sewing at rarity's boutique. How scootaloo gave me the grand tour of ponyville. And how applebloom brings me apples just to make sure I have enough food.

>"Dawww! Thats nice of them!" pinkie adds

Yeah, thats why I have to do this for them. Lets start walking back to town to see if we can think of anything else to do for them.

>you start walking back to town

>pinkie and cheerilee start following you

Those three are like my best friends.

No.

They ARE my best friends.

>"Hey! I thought I was your best friend!" pinkie spoke

You are silly!

she giggles

>"I know. I just wanted to hear you say it again!"

Oh you. And cheerilee, youre my best friend too.

>She looks at you

>"I am?"

Of course. Whenever im missing wherever I came from alot I come to you to blow off some steam. And then we go out for some food. And I love helping you out with the class whenever I get the chance.

>"Its no problem anon. That is what friends are for."

>She smiles warmly at you.

Both of you make me feel special, so how can we make them feel special?

>there was a pause and then pinkie stopped and looked at cheerilee.

>cheerilee looked back at her and then looked at anon

>you look at cheerilee and then looked at pinkie

>you were all thinking the same thought

"Party in the classroom!" you all say
