What my Cutie Mark is trying to tell me

"It´s a kite."

"Are you sure, Scoots? It looks more triangle shaped that diamond shaped."

"Well, it does looks kinda like Rarity´s. If you tilt your head this way..."

Scootaloo sighed, already tired of her friends trying to decipher her Cutie Mark. They were happy for her when she got it, for like a minute, then they started arguing about what it meant.

"I told you a million times that it is a kite."

"I think it looks more like confetti. You know, when you found a big piece of paper in the bag that it´s bigger than the others..."

"Pinkie Pie, what are you doing in our clubhouse?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"And what does that mean? That you´re good with kites? ´cause you´re not," Apple Bloom said.

"I´m good with kites! And you´re getting everything wrong! It doesn´t mean that my special talent is kites, it´s a signboard. No wait, that´s not the word Twilight used. It´s symptomatic? No, that one either..."

Scootaloo was in a blank there, trying to remember the word and the other three ponies have no idea what she was trying to say.

"Anyways, it means it´s not about kites! Just like Pinkie, she has balloons but her talent is throwing parties and she loves baking because that´s what her Cutie Mark means, right?" she said.

"Well, I can make balloon animals! Check out, a puppy!"

"Ehh, that looks more like a manticore," Sweetie said.

"Okay then, what about...a scary dragon!"

"Now that looks more like a kitty," Apple Bloom said.

"Argh, okay okay I got this. What about...Princess Celestia?"

"Where are her wings?"

"Aren´t those her wings?"

"They look more like fins to me..."

Scootaloo abandoned the tree house, feeling frustrated and annoyed at the same time. She walked around town, hoping to meet Rainbow Dash. She would understand what her Cutie Mark means, after all, it was after they spent an afternoon together that her Cutie Mark appeared. She was at her bed, putting the pictures of their time together in her album when she noticed the Mark appearing. Their pictures of...flying a kite together.

Maybe Apple Bloom was right after all.

"Ah! Dumb bubbles! They got in my eye again!"

The complaints came from behind a bush. Curious, Scootaloo looked and found Derpy Hooves struggling with what seemed a monster made of bubbles that threatened to eat her.

"What are you doing?"

"Uh, I was trying to wash my uniform but these dumb bubbles keep getting in the way! Go away!" she replied.

"I think you used too much soap."

"Oh, you´re right. I´m such a dummy! I can´t even do my special talent right!"

"Your special talent is washing clothes?"

"Of course! That´s what my Cutie Mark is telling me! Isn´t it?" Derpy said, pointing at her flank.

"I thought it was more syntax? No, that´s not the word either..."

Scootaloo struggled with the word, half hoping Pinkie will pop out of the bubbles to say the word but nothing happened.

"What I meant is that your bubbles represent your personality, how you´re so carefree and let yourself float away, like a bubble does." Scootaloo said,

"It does?" Derpy asked.

"Yes! Just like mine represents my desire to aim higher, to reach the sjy while still keeping my string attached to the ground..."

Scootaloo smiled and soon that smile turned into a giggle that bursted in alughter.

"You okay, kid?"

"Yes. I´m just...you know, i just realized this Cutie Mark business is more complicated that I thought. I spent so much time trying to get my Mark that, when it finally appeared, I didn´t even knew what it really meant. But now I know, I´m going to show my friends what my destiny truly is! Thanks for the help, Derpy!"

"You welcome! wait, what did I exactly do? Wait again, this isn´t even my uniform. Oh, Cloudchaser is going to be mad I mixed our clothes again..."

And while Derpy tried to fix her mistake, Scootaloo rushed to the clubhouse, no longer needing her scooter since now she was flapping her wings with renewed confidence and finally being able to glide like a kite.




(BTW, the word you were looking for Scoots is SYMBOLISM!!!1 ^_^ )
