'''Apple Bloom:''' A [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]]?<br />

'''Scootaloo:''' [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|What kind of lame cutie mark is a lampshade]]?? }}

* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: While "Call of the Cutie" appears to be about learning to let nature take its course instead of trying to rush into a cutie mark, they still form the Cutie Mark Crusaders at the end in order to keep searching for their special talents. [[Justified Trope]] by the fact they're only children and the school bullies are highly unlikely to back off after being {{spoiler|upstaged at their own party}}.

** Deliberately invoked in "Show Stoppers" after the Cutie Mark Crusaders' embarrassing rock ballad performance at the talent show wins an award...[[Medal of Dishonor|for comedy]].

'''Crusaders:''' ''[[Comically Missing the Point|Comedy!]]'' }}

** In "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", Scootaloo has [[Comically Missing the Point|this gem of a line]]:

** Rather cleverly subverted in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E6 The Cutie Pox|The Cutie Pox]]". They run off to earn their Cutie Marks five seconds after learning a lesson about good things coming to those who wait, but the lesson was about not trying to take a dishonest shortcut to force something you're not patient enough to wait for. So what would normally count as this trope actually reinforces the aesop of earning their Cutie Marks the honest way.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: At times. All other times they have to settle with just being adorable.

Apple Bloom is Applejack and Big Macintosh's baby sister, an [[Moe Moe|adorable]] pony with a yellow coat and fluffy pinkish-red mane. In "Call of the Cutie", she became very insecure about not having her cutie mark yet and began [[Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life|desperately searching for her special talent]]. After learning two of her classmates had the same problem, she formed a [[Power Trio]] with them in order to work together towards the same goal.

An orange pegasus with short hot pink hair and purple eyes, Scootaloo is one of Apple Bloom's classmates. Though she originally hid the fact she hadn't earned her cutie mark yet, she and Sweetie Belle stood up for Apple Bloom during "Call of the Cutie" and became fast friends, forging the Cutie Mark Crusaders so that they could search for their talents together. A brash [[Tomboy]], she effectively serves as the [[Power Trio]]'s equivalent to Rainbow Dash. She has a scooter that she's ''very good'' at riding '''really fast'''.

** To her credit, it improves a little bit from her initial attempt to the time of the talent show.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: More than the others.

'''Scootaloo:''' TLC as in "Tender Loving Care" or "Totally Lost Cause?" }}
