This was her chance. Run blindly into the forest, and never be found. Fizzy desperately wanted feeling to come back to her legs, but with everything happening, all the alicorn could actually do was stand there. She couldn't think of an insult to throw back at the equine filly that arrived. Somehow, she couldn't of said anything that was going to seem a tad insulting.
Then, she vaguely caught sight of Dawn whispering to Sweetie Belle. Both lacked cutie marks. Just like herself. Part of Fizzy wanted to impress them by standing up to Diamond Tiara, but fear engulfed her instead.
Besides, it seemed the equine was in luck. Comet Fire appeared out of nowhere, standing up for the fillies. The alicorn trembled watching the pegasus defend the blank-flanks. This couldn't end well.

Why were there so many of them still hanging around? All Dawn wanted to do was spend the day with Sweetie Belle and nopony else, but nope, it looks like that plan was just ruined in the end as she could tell that they weren't going to leave anytime soon, which did annoy her a little.
But then, her eyes gazed upon Comet Fire whom started to argue with Diamond Tiara, which Dawn gave off a rather small snicker too as she finally retaliated with something herself "Just cause I don't have a cutie mark, doesn't mean I'm not going to get it anytime soon" she scoffed.

Oh, great. Diamond Tiara. Sweetie Belle groaned inwardly. Why couldn't the pink earth pony leave them alone? What fun did she get out of tormenting her and her friends? More importantly...
"Didn't you learn your lesson at your Cute Cenera? Just because we don't have our cutie marks yet doesn't mean we aren't going to get them any time soon. Besides, it means we still have loads of time to figure out what we're best at." Sweetie Belle said. The little unicorn held her head high and grinned from ear to ear. Clearly, she was quite proud of herself for standing up to Diamond Tiara without Apple Bloom or Scootaloo by her side. Dawn worked just as well.
It was only then that Sweetie Belle noticed the presence of Fizzy. Now, the only two alicorns that Sweetie had been aware of up until that point were the Princesses. Seeing one so young in their presence, therefore, was a bit of a shock to the green-eyed unicorn. Where had she come from? Who was she?
Comet Fire's presence hadn't gone unnoticed. Nor had Zee's, of course. The older pony and zebra were trying to help. It would be downright rude to ignore them. "It takes time. Right, guys?" Sweetie Belle asked as she glanced at the two older equines that were present.

Skirting around a small mud puddle, the young prince scanned the ground for any mud, bugs, or rocks. He honestly wasn't in the mood to be getting his mane or hooves dirty! No, forests or woods weren't really Astro's cup of tea, but he had been sobored back in Canterlot! Everyone was so busy! It was almost as if nobody had time for him anymore! Nonsense! They will always have time for me! The dark-blue maned pont assured himself, sighing inwardly, a bit. His initail plan had been to come out and see what Zecora was doing, but the Zebra hadn't been home, so the light grey colt had decided to roam the woods, maybe explore a little bit!
That was when the blue-eyed colt heard the voice of a young filly. Trotting closer, Astro peered through the bushes, not exactly knowing who these ponies were. The colt had been homeschooled and had a tutor his whole life, so, honestly, he didn't have a chance to ever meet ponies his own age. Walking onto scene, he took in the pony's features, four young fillies, a purple zebra, and a blue pegasus. Listening in on the white unicorn's conversation, the light grey pony couldn't help but glance down at his own blank flank. But it didn't matter that Astro didn't have a cutie mark because he didn't have time to figure that junk out. He was a prince. Normally, he would avoid conversations about not having a cutie mark, but, listening in, this grey pony with the stupid diamond tiara for a cutie mark was really getting on his nerves.
"Cotton Candy over here is right," Astro snapped at, using Sweetie Bell's hair as the reference due to the fact that he didn't know her name. "Who cares if she has her cutie mark? And if she gets her cutie mark it probably won't be as hideous and pointless as yours," The young prince grumbled, rolling his light blue eyes as he walked over to Sweetie Bell. Looking her over, he realized that she, too, was a unicorn. But, obviously she wasn't royalty, just the way she talked, and walked, and looked allowed Astro to realized that simple fact.

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA!" The zebra just wanted to help, now she was thrown into a battle of the fillies with some pony else who showed up to help. A flying pony. Envy filled her body. How she wanted wings so badly. And a cutie mark! UGH! She put her thoughts on the back burner for the moment and stared at the new girl who showed up. She trotted up to her and said rudely: "I'm a blank flank too. What of it?" She snorted, eyes narrowing softly. Cranky zebra wouldn't take kindly to this little girl picking on blank flanks. With her being so insecure and all.
"That's not going to help," she mused, turning to Astro.

"Y-Yeah. Us blank-flanks s-still have time to find our special talent. You wouldn't call a newborn foal a blank-flank, would you? The little pony probably wouldn't even feel bad." Fizz finally spoke up. Now was her chance to drift off into the Everfree forest. All on her own. That was certain to show Diamond Tiara that a blank-flank wasn't nothing! The horned and winged filly took a few steps backward, heart racing. Her thoughts drifted to Dawn whispering to Sweetie Belle. Her stomach churned. She had a feeling that they were talking about her. Everypony did, didn't they? If only Fizzy's talent was being able to have better hearing.
Then she wouldn't always feel worried about the thoughts of everypony. She'd know they were talking about her instead of just guess. It seemed everypony's attention was at the older equines and Diamond Tiara. Perfect timing for her to travel to the forest. She turned to face the forest entrance, took a deep breath in, and started clip-clopping her way inside, hoping nopony would notice and stop her.
With her luck, that was unlikely.

Comet Fire's anger intensified a little at Diamond Tiara. Great. She was dealing with a spoiled brat who didn't know how to respect older ponies.
Narrowing her eyes at the filly, Comet Fire was just about to leap at her, before both Zee and Sweetie Belle caught her attention, distracting her from whatever attack she was attempting. Turning her head to face the unicorn filly, Comet Fire nodded. "Took me a long time to get mine. And it was something that was totally unexpected." Comet Fire said.
She barely even noticed Fizzy heading into the forest, until she heard the young alicorn's hoofbeats from behind her. "Hey!" Comet Fire called out. "Where are you going? Everfree Forest really isn't a place for anypony." Comet Fire said, soaring towards the other.

Diamond Tiara shrugged her shoulders at the other ponies and zebra, she didn't care what they thought. She would pick on blank flanks no matter how well she chose. However, the next comment came from a blue unicorn filly. "EXCUSE ME?!" she snapped turning to face Astro. "Who gives you the right to talk to ME like that?!" her nostrils flared, No one dissed her cutiemark. Nobody

"Cotton Candy?" Sweetie Belle repeated. Who did this guy think he was? The way he talked made it sound as if he was snooty. Sweetie wasn't sure if she liked that. Even still, he was agreeing with her. That was what mattered, right? "My name's Sweetie Belle." she told him in a matter-of-fact way. Just to get it out of the way, of course. He might not have wanted to know her name, but he did now.
Zee's own comment about lacking a cutie mark made Sweetie actually look to the zebra's flank. Low and behold, it was blank! An older equine with a blank flank! That had to be the most unlikely thing in the universe! "And... yeah! Being a blank flank isn't a bad thing! We're no different from you, Diamond Tiara. We just haven't figured out what we're good at yet." the little unicorn filly said.
Sweetie wanted to say more, but a bit of movement caught her attention. She glanced back and saw that Fizzy seemed to be leaving them. "Hey... where are you going? Don't you want to stay with us?" she asked.

Stay? What? This caused the filly to stop in her tracks. There she was, just stunned that there were two ponies telling her to stat instead of wander through the forest. "I-I just wanted to get away from the princess. That's why she has a tiara, right? A princess wouldn't wander the Everfree forest. And I figured Miss Pegasus Filly didn't want me to stay around." Fizzy replied to both the pegasus and unicorn filly. Her honey brown eyes peered over to Diamond Tiara. She was distracted by the unicorn colt. This caused a small, vague smile to pop on her face.
"Since the princess seems to be busy, I guess I could stay, Miss... Sweetie Belle." A bad habit of the filly, to call everypony sir or miss. The alicorn debated on whether or not to say her name.
She decided against it.

Comet Fire landed beside Fizzy, with a bit of a rough landing. She couldn't help but smile at the little alicorn's respectfulness towards Sweetie Belle.
"Well, you're certainly not spoiled like Missy over there." Comet Fire said, pointing a hoof to Diamond Tiara. "But for starters, there's no way Diamond Tiara is a princess. She's just some spoiled little brat who's lucky enough to have a rich daddy." Comet Fire said, rolling her eyes. As much as she respected Filthy Rich, she loathed his daughter.
But what was really on her mind was just where this little alicorn had come from. The only two alicorns she knew were Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. "I hope you don't mind me asking...but just where are you from?" Comet Fire asked.

Dawn just stood there in the end. Everypony was talking at once, which caused the filly pegasus to give off a quick little smile until another pony arrived as well. She had yet so another word as she had no clue on what to say. All that was running through her mind right now was if she should just take off right then and there, or hang around for just a bit longer.
Yet, the first thought was starting to get to her more as she extended her little wings, whispering to Sweetie Belle again "This....this was a mistake....I uh, I think I'm just going to um....go somewhere else...." she told her friend, ready to indeed, just take off.

Oh. She wasn't a princess after all. That may explain a few things, like how she lacked a horn, or even wings. Just an earth pony, the only earth pony of the group even. Unless you counted Zee, who was really a zebra. So really, nearly everypony had either wings or a horn in the group. They had a better chance of being royalty than Diamond Tiara. Apparently, she was simply rich.
The young alicorn listened to what Comet Fire had to say, until it came around to where she was from. "Me?" she managed to squeak. Now, the filly hadn't really talked about herself. Sure, there was a handful of ponies who were interested in an alicorn, but the interest often faded once they got the shy exterior of Fizzy. Or saw her flank was blank. Or realized her age. Or weight. But the reason most was probably her lack of flight and magic, or how much of a klutz she could get when trying to earn friends. "Well, I'm from... where was it? Fillydelphia? Yeah, that was it. But I had to move to Ponyville recently."
She glanced over at Dawn. Whispering once more. She looked like she was going to leave. The alicorn had to shrug it off and looked back at Comet Fire. Best not to think about Dawn leaving probably because of herself and instead chat with a pony who didn't want her to go to the forest.

"Hold it, fluffy," Zee said, stepping on Dawn's tail, "You're not going anywhere without an escort." Ears flicked back. Cranky zebra was freaking cranky. She shook her head. "Get ta steppin' cutie mark girl. Trust me, you're outnumbered by blank flanks as you call us." She snorted, stomping on the ground. She HATED bullies. HATED THEM! She was bullied by ponies as a young filly and it had stuck with her for her whole life.

"If it's any care to you, I'm not going into the forest anymore, that plan was already ruined as it is" Dawn begun with a small sigh "No thanks to you" she added in with a grumbled, grabbing onto her tail and pulled at it in order to free it from underneath Zee's hoof.
As she pulled hard enough, she had indeed, freed her tail from under Zee's hoof, falling back in the process as she landed on her back with a light grumble "This is why I hate other ponies...." she added in to herself rather quietly.
