Chapter 31: The Cutie Pox

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Dear diary,

When I walked out of my library today, the last thing I expected to see was Apple Bloom with two cutie marks one with a hoop or something and one with spinning plates. Another thing I didn't expect was to have my face violated by a big metal hoop that Apple Bloom was controling and mess my mane up so it had the same style as Rarity. But what do you know? Combine Twilight Sparkle and Ponyville together and eventually, it'll happen. To make it even worse, Spike, the small dragon with a big heart who wants to do the nasty with Rarity, then wanted to do it with me. I could tell because of the hearts in his eyes. Also, because of that, I found out that Spike only loves Rarity for her looks.

Unfortunatly, I was dragged into this the next day when Applejack brought Apple Bloom to me about this cutie mark problem. She had another cutie mark. This one was for tap dancing. I was really confused by what I saw. A pony with three cutie marks. I never saw anything like it in my life before I saw her. These things were so simple. But this was the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They were sometimes simple themselves and for some reason, they go for the more harder ways to try and get their cutie marks and I dont know why. But they were very simple talents and Apple Bloom had never performed any of the things she was doing at that moment in her life as far as I knew. I didn't understand it. How could she be so good at it straight away? Even if it is a pony's special talent, they would still need a load of practase to know that it could be their special talent. It wasn't just that either. She got the cutie marks before she ever tried the talents. It was obvious something was wrong.

Luckily for them, I was just reading a book about weird illnesses that effected ponies. Spike brought the book down for us to flick through. A page caught my eye when I found an illness that matched all of Apple Blooms symptoms. It was something called the cutie pox. It made ponies get cutie marks all over their bodies, but as soon as they appeared, ponies would do what the cutie mark showed and they couldn't stop. But unfortuatnly for Apple Bloom, there was no known cure and the cutie pox dissapeared just as mysteriously as they arrived. Very strange indeed. Just then, Apple Bloom got another cutie mark and started speaking a weird language that I didn't recognise. We needed somepony to help. That's when an idea came to my mind. I needed somepony who knew about this weird stuff. Maybe a cirtain Zebra.

As soon as we left the library to find Zecora, Apple Bloom got another cutie mark in construction. She immdediatly started to build a sculpture and it was complete in seconds. I have to say, it was pretty impressive. But imagine if she done that with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and without the cutie pox. Oh, how desasterous it would be. Then she was cleaning chimies, playing the accordian, became a lion tamer, a chess master and a fencer. That was when ponies started to get suspcious. Some ponies started to say she was cursed. Another peice of evidence that Ponyville doesn't do their research and I still wonder why the library is always empty. There is no such thing as curses. It's an illness! Anyway, ponies started to wonder what was going on, so the once again fuck-up of the day, Spike the dragon decides to tell them by saying that it was mysterious, from centuaries ago and with no cure. Thank you Captin Chaos. I swear, sometimes Spike does it to watch ponies react and to entertain himself. What happened next, I though was a bit of an over reaction. Everypony started running and screaming. Soon, Ponyville was deserted.

Just as it happened, Zecora arrived thinking that everypony was hiding because she arrived. Pretty conveiniant, but Applejack thought it was a 'Zebra sense'. Celestia knows where she got that from. Applejack and I explained to her what happened and what we found out so far and in return, she gave us information on what Apple Bloom wanted. She went to see Zecora about trying to get a cutie mark by drinking a potion. But then Zecora reavealed a flower called hearts desire and then she left. Leaving Apple Bloom with a plant that can give a pony anything they desire. A perfectly safe thing to do. But we found out more. Zecora took out some seeds from her saddle bag. She said that the plant is a cure, but it can only grow when somepony speaks the truth. Looked like all of Apple Blooms secrets are going to spill out. I wonder what her dark secrets are. I wonder if there is a spell to make a pony spill all of their secrets. Maybe, if there is one, I should try it on Fluttershy. She is very quiet and I'm almost cirtain she is hiding something.

Applejck planted the seeds and demanded the truth. We all thought it would be Apple Bloom to spill the beans, but for some reason, Pinkie Pie was the one to blurt out her lies and tell the truth, but even that was a lie and she started crying, begging it to stop. Average Pinkie Pie. After that strange moment, Apple Bloom soon started to admit it and tell the truth. When she did, ponies started to come out and listen to the truth of her lies. She admited they were fake and the plant started to grow.

After about two or three more lies, the plant was fully grown and Apple Bloom ate it whole. I mean, what if that wasn't how it was done? What if it needed to be put in a potion? Apple Bloom could of just ruined a chance to get rid of the cutie pox. I think she was lucky it worked. She learned her lesson and apologised to everypony. Applejack was very proud of her to owning up. Then an idea came to my head. I wanted her to write to Princess Celestia. That was a perfect example of what a young foal should learn once in their foalhood. Plus it would also get me out of doing it. Making a pony who had just been cured of a illness to do my job... I'm sure that was a perfectly fine thing to do. Anyway, she wrote her friendship letter to Princess Celestia and Spike sent it off. She finally learned a lesson and that she had to be patient to get what she wants.

Now I can't wait till next week when I'm dragged into something else because the Cutie Mark Crusaders already forget that lesson. I know for a fact that they will never learn.
