06x19 - The Fault in Our Cutie Marks

Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

so scootaloo's keeping petunia busy like

you asked what did you two want to talk

about

i'm sure you get these questions all the

time oh this is so awkward um you're the

expert so we thought you'd have some

insight into our daughter's new

cutie mark what's wrong

obviously we're both very proud of her

and her cutie mark despite its uh

unsettling nature

unsettling

i don't care what you mean her moc

doesn't bother you at all hey check out

what we found

look

a spiny-backed pony source in our own

backyard and i found him on my very own

how cool is that

she's an archaeologist

of course what'd you think she was gonna

be a pirate

[Music]

pirate

why would we think that

[Music]

my little pony my little pony

[Music]

a beautiful heart faithful and strong

sharing kindness

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

another successful cutie intervention

you know crusaders i don't want to toot

our own horn

but we've helped a lot of ponies figure

out their purpose in life like blue nope

here nice that's the bone blunt

yep everywhere you look there's a pony

we've helped find a purpose

you've gotta admit we've had a pretty

good effect on every pony since we

discovered our destiny and started

helping other ponies discover theirs

could this get any better or what

scooter you do know there will always be

challenges

someday some point you might even come

to us with a problem that even we can't

handle like say

a griffin

exactly like a griffin but that's just

crazy talk or not

[Music]

is that really a griffin you're darn

tootin it is what do you think that

griffin wants

i guess we've got to ask her but aren't

griffin supposed to be kind of mean and

cranky

crusaders looks like we got to step

carefully

[Music]

the cutie mark crusaders i can't believe

it's really really you

this trip is not crazy

how in the blooming apples did you know

who we are

know who you are

but you can call me gabby since we're

friends now

pleased to meet you

[Music]

well howdy um gabby

i'm just about the most excited

that's ever been about anything

excited but whatever for

what for what for everypony in town

tells me of your amazing assistance how

you help ponies find their place in the

world

it's a calling but and that's why i'm

here i need help too

i want you to give me a cutie mark

um can a griffin even get a cutie mark

i don't know but i think we should

probably find out

gabriella gabby

gabby

why do you even want a cutie mark it

doesn't seem like a very griffining

thing to want

right right right

you're telling me i don't know if you've

heard but griffins can be a little bit

unfriendly

don't pay much attention to each other

and if they do it's not you know the

good kind of attention as for me i'm

just a little male delivery griffin who

likes to spread a little bit of griffony

sunshine on my round which always makes

me feel different from the other

griffins

[Music]

i do anything for any old griffin in

need

but it just always seemed like the

harder i tried the less i fit in

it wasn't until your friends came to

griffinstone then i realized some

creatures actually like helping each

other and i saw something so awesomely

awesome how helping spreads from pony to

pony and griffin to griffin

i knew then that i had to find out why i

was so different from the other griffins

and i knew the answer just had to have

something to do with those wonderful

amazing marks on the pony's clinics

and i admit

i became

maybe a little obsessed so first chance

i had to deliver a letter from gilda i

took it so i can find the perfect pony

to help me understand what those marks

are

everybody here told me one thing

i just had to see the cutie mark

crusaders they've helped everypony here

get their cutie marks and i knew i just

knew that someday i'd have one too a

cutie mark of my very own

that's why i flew all the way here i

want to find my own place in the world

and i know you can help me by giving me

a beauty mark so let's make with the

cutie

whenever you're ready

did it happen yet

uh

not exactly

how about now how about now how about

now

um gabi

i hate to break it to you but it sounds

like you might have heard some tall

tales about what crusaders can do

i mean we are kind of awesome and all

but no pony can just give you a cutie

mark it just sort of

happens

though i'm pretty sure it doesn't happen

to griffin's or if it does

we've never ever heard of it oh i hadn't

thought of that

sounds like a challenge and who could be

up to it but the world famous cutie mark

crusaders cutie marks it's in your name

and everything right right

now i have to deliver gilda's letter to

rainbow dash i bet by the time i get

back you'll have it 100 figured out

toodles for now

[Music]

what she wants

it's not possible right i don't know but

i know someone who just might

i've read every book on the subject and

i've never read a thing about any

creature other than a pony getting a

cutie mark but twilight gabby flew all

the way here so we can help her there's

gotta be something we can do

say

is there some kind of spell you can whip

up to make her mark appear um i don't

know if any of you remember but using

magic to get a cutie mark never really

works out all that well

oh

right

crusaders i'm sorry while i can't say

for certain that it's utterly impossible

the chances of gabby getting an actual

mark are

pretty slim

everything i've ever learned tells me

it's just not gonna happen

oh no for gabi what the apples are we

ever gonna tell her

[Music]

crusaders this is terrible

gabby really believed in us and now

we're gonna let her down

but what else can we do

hmm

you know what crusaders so what maybe we

can't help gabby get a cutie mark but we

can still do what we're best at we can

help her find her purpose

and i reckon doing that is the same for

griffins as it is for ponies or any

other creature in equestria all we have

to do is be extra special clear with her

like crystal empire clear

[Music]

you wonderful wonderful crusaders i just

know you figured out how to help me

because you're all so incredible

well

gabby we've talked it over and we think

we may just be able to help you out but

not exactly in the way you think

see

here's the thing about you getting a

cutie mark

you didn't let me finish

um i think maybe that could have been

clearer

[Music]

she's still going anypony know if

griffins ever get tired what do you

think my mark will be a lightning bolt

an erupting volcano i don't care if it's

a jar of marmalade i know i'll love it

whatever it is hold on just a hoof step

gabby there's something we need to clear

up we can definitely help you find your

purpose but that mark's probably not

gonna happen

what

it's true

twilight's never heard of a creature

other than a pony getting a cutie mark

oh

is that all you had me worried for a

second i mean there's a first time for

everything right and she didn't say it

was impossible right

well not exactly

well then if anypony can make it happen

it's you three i mean you haven't failed

yet

you know what gaby i promise we're gonna

do everything we can to help you get

your mark

it's gonna happen i can feel it

[Music]

and she's off again why incarnation

would you promise something that just

can't be done

i know what it's like to want something

that's out of reach

and just because it hasn't happened yet

doesn't mean it can't

maybe trying for the impossible isn't so

bad guess we'll never know for sure

unless we give it a try

all right but where do we even start

where we always do with a good

old-fashioned crusaders chart

[Music]

the first thing we gotta do is found

your purpose no pony gets a mark without

one oh right let's do this what are you

good at do you play any sports or like

to dance or how about singing i just

love to sing la la la

wow i kind of want to just try

everything i mean i don't even know what

to pick

don't worry that's what we're here for

like a racer at the starting line you're

chomping at the bit you are here to find

your purpose and a place you really fit

and until you find your place and laugh

you're never gonna quit we can help you

find the purpose in your life

a griffin mixes lion's strength with

winged eagles might when i finally find

my purpose then my cutie marks in sight

crusaders i won't let you down i've just

begun to fight you're gonna help me find

the purpose in my life

[Music]

got a job it's just no fun call on me

i'll get it done

[Music]

that's the sphere

i'll try anything to get my cutie mark

keep up with me crusaders we're just

getting our start rock your little ones

to sleep while hanging up the sheets i

can help you with your heavy load walk

granny cross the street

i'll run you round the faces bath it's

really no big feet can we help her find

the purpose in her life

[Music]

cheer you if you're feeling low plant

your garden make it grow write a piece

for your quartet filling in on clarinet

bake that cake as fast as lightning

she's so good at things it's frightening

cutie mark crusaders i think we've got a

problem

fill the boat and sail it out across the

[Music]

know that seas can count on me

cmc's you're gonna help me

[Music]

gabby's special purpose can't be

everything right it may as well be

i don't know how we find what she's

supposed to do when she can do it all

and if finding her purpose seems

impossible we can just forget about the

whole griffin getting a cutie mark thing

which is actually

i never should have gotten her hopes up

i did it oh so laid on me crusaders

what's my purpose and how do we get a

mark on these here punches

gabby

we

we don't


wait

what are you saying

we're saying that since you can do

everything so amazingly well

we just can't figure out what one thing

you're supposed to

gabby

we can't help you

but but you're the world famous cutie

mark crusaders i can't believe it i

i won't believe it

gaby wait

we're sorry we're so so sorry

this is just awful

for the first time ever the cutie mark

crusaders are cutie mark

failures

[Music]

i'm sorry crusaders i really thought we

could help gabby

i thought we could help anypony

maybe that's just it maybe we can only

help ponies or maybe we just plain

failed

then what do you call this

a cutie mark

what you got your mark after all even

though we couldn't find your purpose but

what

huh oh and what does it mean a cauldron

uh i don't know

maybe it means my purpose is uh helping

sakura with potions that was the first

thing i tried i guess it just took some

time to appear but here it is this is

awesome we're not failures whatever we

did worked i had a feeling we could help

you and we did oh we've gotta go see

twilight right away she'll wanna know

about this

correction she needs to know about this

i bet she'll want to write a whole book

about the very first griffin to get a

cutie mark of her own oh

totally um but you know a rainbow dash

asked me to pick up her answer to

gilda's letter i better take care of

that before i forget

here's an idea uh you head to the castle

and i'll meet you there cutie mark and

all

um

wow can you believe it we were able to

help her get her mark after all come on

crusaders let's tell twilight

gabby you just missed her she was in

such a hurry she didn't even come in

just drop this letter and zoomed away

dear crusaders i'll never forget you you

really are every bit as awesome as i'd

heard i'm heading home to tell all the

griffins how you did the impossible by

getting me my cutie mark toodles

wait a second cutie mark

you actually got a griffin a cutie mark

for the first time in recorded history

you know what this calls for a

full-scale research project

this makes no sense gabby didn't come in

and show you her mark you have got to

get gabby back here right away i have so

many questions oh i hope i have enough

ink and parchment to document everything

spy guess what just happened weird yeah

we didn't show twilight her mark like

she said she was gonna do

something in this here applesauce smells

kind of fishy we'd better find her and

find out what's going on come on

crusaders

keep your eyes on the skies ponies yeah

we can't have gone far she's not in the

air she's right there gaby hold up we're

in common

um

sorry and no time to chat i just stopped

to help this pony get out of the lock

and then i really gotta fly okay

[Music]

[Applause]

gabby we're your friends why in

equestria are you running away from us

we're running away oh i'm not running

away i'm just uh

excited to show my lovely new cutie mark

to everyone in griffinstone you mean the

cutie mark that's running right off your

flank

yep

that's the one

i guess the one thing i'm really not

good at is

faking things

wow gabby painting on a fake cutie mark

to make yourself feel better you must

have been really upset

sure i was disappointed but i didn't do

it to make myself feel better i wanted

to make you feel better

i couldn't bear you three thinking you

failed after you tried so hard to help

that's why i had to leave before your

twilight found out the truth

i'm sorry i wasn't honest with you

i'll just wing my way back to

griffinstone

thanks for trying

you don't need to apologize for caring

about how other ponies are feeling i'm

just sorry we couldn't come through for

you

hmm

maybe we can gaby clean up and meet us

at the crusaders clubhouse

[Music]

i know you all tried your very best but

i guess griffins and cutie marks just

don't mix maybe i don't even have a

special purpose

hang on a second

we were racking our brains trying to

figure out your destiny until we

remembered how every time you did

something new you tried to help

everypony around you even us

how did it feel when you showed up with

that fake mark and the three of us

thought we'd actually helped you

well

i was really glad i helped you feel

happier

so maybe helping is your thing you might

even say it's your purpose

but helping just feels good

it couldn't have anything to do with

what i'm supposed to do with my life

right

gabby finding your special purpose

doesn't have to be about being good at

something it's about feeling good about

something inside

and it looks like your destiny is a

whole lot like ours helping others and

you don't need a symbol on your flank to

know that but since we are the cutie

mark crusaders we meet you in anyway

behold

your very own beauty mark

we carved it to mark the moment we all

figured out what you should do with your

life but they look just like yours

you can't mean

you bet we do you're one of us now gabby

today we dub thee the very first griffin

you may not be able to get a cutie mark

but you're selflessly dedicating your

life to helping others anyhow i can't

think of anything more crusadery than

that

awesome

my very own

who lands six you sure have earned it

and so are we

scootaloo you're pretty amazing even

though things look bleak you still found

a way to help gabby in the end of course

helping's what we do right

[Laughter]

i'm gonna go home and do my very very

best to bring cutie mark crusader values

to griffinstone i promise

promise us one other thing too

come back soon

after all you're a crusader now

crusaders forever crusaders forever

[Music]

my little pony

[Music]

[Applause]
