Litte mane six - Cutie mark hunting part 1- The tree fort

It was a bright and sunny day in Ponyville and currently a small white pegasus with a short gray mane and tail was standing on a cloud high above the town. The young filly grinned as she pulled a pair of goggles over her deep blue eyes. "Ok so if I jump and flap my wings as hard as I can while in a nose dive. I should be able to go fast enough to do the legendary rainboom!" The filly exclaimed to herself in excitement.

The young pegasus pranced in place as she stretched her wings in preparation for her big moment. "Cutie mark here I come!" The filly shouted before diving off the cloud. She flapped her wings to speed up her descent towards the town below. When she reached almost half way she folded her wings and let gravity do the work. After a few minutes the buildings started getting closer. She grinned in excitement although it was hard to tell since the wind pulled on her lips. Then suddenly a rainbow blur came out of nowhere and grabbed the falling pegasus.

The young filly blinks a few times in surprise when she was grabbed from her dive. She was now in the outstretched hooves of Rainbow Dash. The element of loyalty and young wonderbolt made a lap around Ponyville before landing in a field right outside town. She gently set the young pegasus down first before touching down and pulling up her own set of goggles. The white coated filly did the same. "Cumulus do you have any idea how dangerous that was?! I mean it was an awesome dive but you could've been hurt kiddo." Rainbow Dash said as she ruffled Cumulus Drop's mane. "I was gonna pull up before I hit anything." Cumulus said rather sheepishly for a pony.

"What exactly were you trying to do anyways?" Rainbow Dash asked deciding to get to the heart of the matter. "I was trying to perform a rainboom so I could have a cutie mark for something cool." Cumulus admitted feeling a little embarrassed. "Don't sweat it kiddo, your cutie mark will come when it does. You can't force it. Maybe next time just try something that doesn't put you in danger." Rainbow said she ruffles Cumulus's mane again before flying off. Cumulus watched her fly off before letting out a small huff and heading back into town.

While walking home to try and think of something new to try Cumulus heard a voice that made her ear twitch slightly. "Cumulus! Hey! Over here!" A yellow earth pony with a curly purple mane and tail called out waving her friend over to an outdoor table at a restaurant. Cumulus flew over and landed in an empty chair. "Hey Ribbon. Hey everypony." Cumulus said as a unicorn waiter came over and placed five kid's menus on the table. He did a quick head count and used his magic to teleport a sixth menu over to the table. "I'll give you a few minutes to decide, can I start you six on some drinks while you wait?" The waiter said flipping open a little notepad and clicking a pen with his magic. "I'll have a cherry soda." Cumulus Drop said "Orange for me please." Meadow Wind the brown pegasus said. "I'll have Lemonade please." Macoun Apple said "I'll have some Forest Mist pop." Ribbon Runner said seeing they had it on the menu. "I'll have a blue raspberry lemonade please." Pearl Shine said after a moment of thought. "I'll have a grape soda." Rose Star said after thinking about it for a minute. The waiter jotted down the drink order and trotted back inside.

"What happened with you girls?" Cumulus Drop asked. "I was trying to see if my talent lays in something to do with birds and Fluttershy stopped my and said I could be disturbing the birds which could hurt them." Meadow Wind said she sounded disappointed as she started looking at the menu. "I tried to plan a party for a friend but Pinkie Pie butted in and took over when she found out." Ribbon Runner said she knew Pinkie didn't mean any harm by it but it was still a little upsetting to have something she spent a few days planning be taken over by a self quoted professional. She started browsing the menu.

"I tried to help my cousin Applejack plow the field along with Big Macintosh and they told me I was still too little." Macoun Apple said she was still a little upset as she also looked over the menu. "I wanted to see if my special talent was in painting but Rarity saw my painting since I was painting in the town's square and stepped away for a moment and painted over my painting of the fountain and gave it to Mayor Mare to hang in the town hall." Pearl Shine said she some paint still on her hooves, she took a napkin and started working on wiping it off before looking at the menu. She hummed a little bit as she looked. She was upset even though Rarity didn't know it was her painting.

"I tried to borrow a book on spell creation from the castle library but Princess Twilight said that spell creation was way too advance for me and tried to give me multiple books on super basic spell casting meant for really young unicorns." The last pony at the table, Rose Star, said as browsed her own menu. Cumulus Drop explained what happened for her as she browsed her menu as well. The other fillies were Meadow Wind, (the brown pegasus), Macoun Apple, (the cream colored earth pony), Ribbon Runner, (the blonde earth pony), Pearl Shine, (the pink unicorn), and Rose Star (the blue unicorn). (This is just to clarify who's who).

"Well I think we need our own private base to come up with ideas in how to get our cutiemarks like the cutiemark crusaders do." Cumulus Drop slamming her hooves on the table. "There's an old tree fort in the tree behind my house we could use." Pearl Shine said offering a suggestion. "That's perfect!" Cumulus Drop exclaimed, her wings fluttered slightly in excitement. That's when their waiter reappeared carrying their drinks. He set each glass in front of the corresponding pony. The colors of the drinks made a little rainbow. The waiter then made the tray disappear and levitated a notepad and pen from his apron. He flipped the pad open and clicked the pen. "And what can I get you girls today?" The waiter asked with a smile.

"I'll have a hay burger and fries please." Cumulus Drop said looking over her menu. "I'll have some fried oats and hay strips." Meadow Wind said looking at the menu one more time. "Can I have a grilled cheese sandwich please?" Pearl Shine asked deciding to order something simple. "Would you like a side of soup or fries?" The waiter asked as he jots down the order. "Fries please." Pearl Shine said. "I'll have a cheese hayburger." Macoun Apple said setting her menu down. "I'll have a small grilled oats salad please." Rose Star said deciding to order something simple. Ribbon Runner hummed as she browsed the menu. "I'll have the bean and cheese quesadilla." Ribbon Runner said deciding on a very simple order. "Ok. I'll have that right out." The waiter said he finished writing the order and collected the menus and replaced them with coloring sheets and crayons for them.

The girls were a little annoyed at being treated like kids, even though they are, and reluctantly started coloring the sheets they were given while sipping their drinks. Cumulus Drop got a picture of the Wonderbolts, Meadow Wind got flowers, Macoun Apple got a farm, not Sweet Apple Acres just a plain old generic farm, Ribbon Runner got balloons, Pearl Shine got a treasure chest, and Rose Star got a magic show scene to color. After a little while they finished neatly coloring the sheets they were given, they had to swap crayons a few times, just as their food was served. The waiter collected the sheets and crayons and smiled. "Ok, enjoy your meal." The waiter said. "Thank you." The girls said in unison as the waiter left. The fillies immediately dug into their lunch.

Soon enough the check came as they finished their food and drinks. The waiter handed over the check and didn't really question the girls not having an adult chaperone since he used to young fillies and colts coming in and eating alone or with friends. The girls took out some bits and paid the fifteen bit bill and actually left the waiter a six bit tip. The girls get up from the table and slowly stretch a little bit and make their way to Pearl Shine's house.

The group soon arrive and head into the backyard and look up at the run down tree fort sitting in the tree behind the house. They weren't even sure where to start with this when the sliding back door opened and Pearl Shine's dad stepped outside. The large burly unicorn had a light purple coat and white mane and tail. He shared Pearl Shine's pale blue eyes and his cutiemark was a cart full of jewels and gems signifying that gem collecting is his special talent. "Well howdy there girls what're y'all looking at?" Mr. Shine asked making his way over to his daughter and friends. "Hi dad, you're home early." Pearl Shine said she was surprised. Pearl Shine got her pale purple mane from her dad's coat.

"Oh yeah there was a cave in at the mines. Thankfully nopony was hurt but the mine's closed till further notice." Mr. Shine said he noticed the girls were looking at the old tree fort. "Mr. Shine can we fix up and use your tree fort please?" Cumulus Drop asked. "I don't see why not. I'll call some buddies and we'll get it fixed up." Mr. Shine said giving a smile and a nod. The group of fillies looked at each other and figured this was better left to the adults since they know what they're doing and the girls could get hurt if they tried messing with power tools. Mr. Shine went back inside to make a few phone calls as the girls ran around the yard for a while.

A few days and some minor construction later the tree fort was complete. "Thanks Mr. Shine/dad and friends." The girls said seeing the newly fixed tree fort. "You're welcome girls." Mr. Shine said as his friends gave nods. They gathered up their equipment and left. The six fillies climbed up the ladder steps on the tree and pushed open the trap door in the floor and smiled as the looked at the fort. It was basically an open box with a small porch and canvas roof that had pink blue and yellow stripes. There was a hidden door leading to the porch. "Looks like we've found our new base." Cumulus Drop said. "Yeah!" The others exclaimed they proceeded to do a six way high five in excitement.
