- "Surprise"!
- >Half the town is here. Pinkie wan't kidding about the party.
- "Hi Anon. Were you surprised"?
- "Yes I was".
- "I was just so excited that there was someone new in town to throw
- a party for, but I sure had my work cut out for me. After all, you didn't
- even know you were coming. I was afraid you wouldn't want to stay, so I
- knew that this party had to be the best one I've ever thrown. I remember
- back when Twilight first came to Ponyville. Now that was a party".
- >You leave Pinkie to talk to herself and head over to Twilight.
- "All this is just for me"?
- "Of course, everyone deserves a good party sometimes".
- >You are distracted by the table with food and drinks.
- >You've never seen so much food in one place before.
- >Grabbing some punch and cake, you head around to talk to the new ponies.
- >Might as well. Threre wasn't much else to do besides stand around.
- >A familiar voice crack assults your eardrums.
- "Here he is. I told you he was real".
- >You are suddenly faced with Sweetie Belle and two others that you guess
- >must be her friends.
- "Hi Sweetie. Who are your friends"?
- "I'm Applebloom".
- "I'm Scootaloo".
- "And together we're..."
- "The Cutie Mark Crusaders"!
- >You wonder how often they've practiced saying it together like that.
- >There is just one question.
- "What's a cutie mark"?
- >They collectively gasp.
- >Scootaloo is the first to recover from the shock.
- "How could you not know what a cutie mark is, Anon? It's only the most
- important thing to happen in the life of a young pony. That's why we
- are on a quest to find ours. In fact, you should help us. Maybe we can
- help each other find our talents".
- >You tell them that you'd like that. They run off, arguing if only
- >ponies can get cutie marks.
