One bright sunny day, Apple Bloom and the Cutie Mark Crusaders decide to try their hooves at bowling! They fail miserably (as usual), but what's this? As Apple Bloom makes her throw, someone yells "Cool! A bowling cutie mark!" Apple Bloom, excited, looks at her flank... which is still bare, as the cheers were for a young pony who happened to get a strike in the next lane. To add insult to injury, her own ball finally completes its meandering journey to the pins, only to bump against one without even budging it.
