Your story

Apple bloom walks up to you as you are watching her friends and surprises you by actually talking to you "so um mister? Me and the girls have been trying to get our cutie marks for longer than any pony in Ponyville I reckon..." she trails off but now her friends are flanking her and while her eyes are still downcast they both look up at you with hunger in their eyes. You wait for a beat for her to continue but when she doesn't you prod "Yeah maybe, no shame in that. lots of my friends from Canterlot didn't get theirs until their second year of college." Sweety Bell looks a happy about that but the other two seem to get a little sadder "um well yea I guess but we were thinking... well we have talked to nearly every other pony about how they got their cutie mark but we haven't talked to you yet on account of..." she trails off but looks toward the patched area of your shop and the hastily repaired planters. You think to yourself, you haven't told any pony around here your story... could be dangerous but at the same time....
