Way To The Heart MLP Make Your Mark Misty X OC Alexis

Cutie Blossom Bash

"Are you okay Misty?" Alexis asks as the group is riding in the Mare Stream as Misty stumbles slightly.

"Oh yeah! I'm just... Oh! ...still finding my balance!" Misty says as she smiles.

"The Mare Stream can take some getting used to! At least we're taking you on a secret surprise adventure! Are you excited?" Sunny asks as everyone looks at Misty.

"Oh yeah! Definitely! Uh so um... what is it?" Misty asks curiously.

"We are going... to Zephyr Heights for the annual Equestria Cutie Blossom Bash!" Sunny says as the group happily cheers.

"You'll love it." Pipp says happily.

"Cutie Blossom Bash? What is that?" Misty asks curiously.

"It's only the cutest springtime celebration of all that is fresh and new. I'm talking flowers, blossoms, bunnies, fashion. The looks you will see Misty. The looks." Pipp says happily.

"But more importantly it's an official ceremony and celebration for all of the ponies that have gotten their new Cutie Marks that year." Hitch says.

"It's kind of like a day of honor." Alexis says as she looks at Misty.

"Yeah. And it's kinda cool how we're finally combining the tradition we've all grown up with." Zipp says as Izzy squeals in excitement.

"I love the Blossom Bash! It's so springy! See? I've already crafted seven flower corsages. I only need to make a few hundred more." Izzy says as she shows Misty her creation.

"A few hundred?!" Misty asks in alarm.

"Yeah! For all the ponies who are going to cheer you on!" Pipp says as the group cheers happily before they see a large storm cloud.

"Quick turn!" Hitch shouts.

"I got this." Zipp says as she makes a sharp turn causing the group to stumble slightly as she avoids the cloud.

*Timeskip*

"What's wrong Hitch?" Alexis asks as she notices Hitch isn't looking very happy.

"Thinkin' about Sparky again?" Izzy asks as she walks over.

"Yeah. Ever since his run-in with Opaline he's been so tired. I didn't wanna drag him all the way to Zephyr Heights but I miss him." Hitch says.

"Well at least he's resting with Grandma Figgy!" Izzy says.

"Yeah Hitch. Sparky will be alright until we get back." Alexis says.

"You're right. Grandma is the best at making anypony feel better." Hitch says.

"See? Sparky is in great hooves! You just gotta get your mind off things." Izzy says.

"I know how we can do that! Let's go around and share our Cutie Marks stories with Misty! I'll go first. Back when I was a little filly I didn't have many friends. But my dad always said when life gives you lemons make lemonade and sell it to raise money for the library. So I did! My lemonade was a hit! I sold almost every cup right away. But two ponies wanted the last one. They started arguing but then I stepped in to help. They realized they were fighting for no reason! That's when my Cutie Mark appeared! My dad told me it's because I helped those ponies put aside their differences. He was so proud. That spring I got to trot the stage in our Cutie Blossom Bash. Ah it's one of my favorite memories." Sunny says happily as she and the others go around telling about how they got their cutie marks before they all look at Alexis.

"Your turn Alexis." Hitch says.

"Sure. I got my cutiemark when I was pretty young. Back when I was still living with my birth family actually. When I was little I used to run everywhere with the other pups in the pack. But one day we got separated from the pack and got lost. The others I got lost with began fighting over who's fault it was but I managed to get them to stop and got them to agree to let me try leading us back to the territory. I had remembered my mom's trick she taught me when I wasn't sure where I was to check for anything familiar. As we kept walking I found more things I recognized from our territory and managed to get us all back safely by the next morning. I got my cutiemark because I was able to lead and help when those around me needed me. I've always been good at leading and helping others. But that one situation really helped that to shine and it got me my cutiemark." Alexis says happily as she smiles.
