With the success of their first Cutie Mark Camp, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo decided to expand their efforts in helping every pony find out their cutie marks. After graduating school, the Cutie Mark Crusaders began the plans for a larger camp, one encompassing the size of a campus. However, the reality of the dream came crashing down on the three ponies as they faced multiple hurtles and goals that took months, if not years, to accomplish. With a large camp site becoming a slow dream, the CMC decided to take the opportunities to both explore their other interests, as well as find other ponies across Equestria who might want to be part of the future Cutie Mark Crusader Camp.

Sweetie Belle made the bold move of moving to Manehatten to pursue her show tune dreams. After a few months of scavenging for money and living in Rarity's dress shop, Sweetie Belle finally landed a role in a major Broadway production. Sweetie's theater career skyrocketed for the next few years: the grey unicorn won numerous awards, dated celebrities, and had her face plastered all across Manehatten. After a five year run, Sweetie decided to retire from Broadway, instead hoping to teach young ponies all about the theater. Sweetie's drama class lasted in Manehatten for another year until the unicorn received a letter from Applebloom saying that the CMC camp was finally ready to begin. Sweetie left Manehatten immediately, returning to Ponyville to help run the CMC camp. Sweetie began the Arts & Culture sector of the camp, recruiting numerous artists, performers, and the likes to work for her in helping ponies find their cutie mark. Two ponies accepted Sweetie's offer to work under her since they themselves once benefited from the CMCs: Tender Taps, working as a dance instructor, and Chip Cutter, working as an art instructor. As they worked together, Sweetie and Chip began growing closer emotionally, with Chip claiming that Sweetie was his muse, and Sweetie finding the strong but sensitive stallion quite attractive. After two years working together, the two ponies decided to try a relationship, of which after only another year became a marriage. One more year passed before the two welcomed a child of their own, a unicorn colt named Marble Chord due to his silver coloring. The three ponies thrive under the arts: Chip continues to see inspiration from his wife and son, Sweetie serves as a drama and musical instructor for young ponies at the CMC camp, and Marble thrives in composing music, of which is sometimes used in his mother's plays.

Applebloom decided to take the brunt of the logistics in creating a successful camp. Alongside helping run the Apple Farm, Applebloom also constructed the paperwork and helped in raising funds for the CMC camp. Although the mare was not alone and had Scootaloo's help, Applebloom ultimately served as the founder of the new CMC camp, slowly leaving behind her duties on the Apple Farm. With the death of Granny Smith while in her early 20s, Applebloom suddenly became a third owner of the Apple Farm, alongside Big Macintosh and Applejack. Despite her sibling's insistence, Applebloom remained dedicated to creating her CMC camp, and after six years of struggle and stress, Applebloom finally managed to bring her and her friend's dreams into fruition. Once the Cutie Mark Crusader Camp opened, Applebloom served as both the head of the camp, but also the founder of the Practicals sector of the camp. Within a short time of its opening, the CMC camp became incredibly successful, resulting in a relief of stress for Applebloom. From this, the mare began reflecting on her life: for almost a decade, the mare dedicated her entire life to the camp, all the meanwhile neglecting her birthright farm duties and even her growing family, already being an aunt to multiple ponies. On top of this, Applebloom received pressure from both of her siblings to start her own family and produce an heir to succeed the mare in one day running the Apple Farm. However, Applebloom also knew that she was not one to be exactly traditional like her siblings, and so the mare felt that life would give her what she needed when the time came. Fortunately, that time came pretty quickly for the yellow mare: upon hiring Tender Taps to be the CMC camp dance instructor, Applebloom asked the stallion to teach her how to dance: the mare needed a little fun, right? Tender agreed, teaching Applebloom after hours as to not disrupt the regular classes. Applebloom turned out to be horrible at dancing; however despite her bad luck with dancing, she continued to attend her class, and Tender gladly continued teaching the mare. Eventually the real reasons for the continued classes came out as Applebloom asked Tender out on a date, of which turned into a relationship. After almost a year of dating, Applebloom learned she was pregnant with Tender's child; however, even when the stallion immediately proposed marriage to appease Applebloom's traditional family, the mare refused on the grounds that she did not care anymore for tradition, instead wanting to see if the relationship would work out on its own. After the birth of their daughter Terra Taps, the two earth ponies continued to date for the next five years where, after Terra received her cutie mark in growing zap apples, Applebloom took the initiative and proposed to Tender, who accepted and awaits their marriage in a year.

Similar to Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo spent the few years after school graduation to explore other dreams, of which involved the sky. Unfortunately, Scootaloo learned shortly after graduating that she would never fly like other pegasi with her handicap, resulting in a deep depression that took another year for her to recover from. After her recovery, Scootaloo decided to not let her handicap stop her from achieving something great, and so the pegasus decided to enroll in athletic training courses where, after two years, she graduated as an athletic trainer serving for the Wonderbolts. Scootaloo served the Wonderbolts proudly, helping the flyers maintain optimum health through stretches, healing, and training. During her time with the Wonderbolts, Scootaloo became close with some of the Wonderbolts themselves, including her old friend Rumble, the newest recruit. The two pegasi hit it off well, both on and off the field. This friendship continued for two years until one passionate yet drunken night, the relationship became physical, of which quickly died out like a flame. After only two more months, Rumble called the relationship off. From this, Scootaloo's depression returned, causing her to quit the Wonderbolts and isolating herself in her home in Ponyville. The pegasus's isolation was brief however, for within a month Scootaloo saw herself pregnant with Rumble's child. At first the mare had no idea what to do: tell Rumble, don't tell Rumble, keep the baby or remove the problem all together. After a few days of thinking (and being sick), the mare decided to confront Rumble; however, her plan fell silent when upon finally working up the courage to return to the Wonderbolts and Rumble did she find the grey stallion with another mare who showed the beginnings of a protruding belly. Unable to speak, Scootaloo left the grounds in angry tears, vowing to never let her unborn child, or any other pony, to know about the father. After her decision, Scootaloo decided to distract herself by putting all of her efforts into helping Applebloom in creating a CMC camp. The distraction lasted for a few more months before Applebloom confronted her pegasus friend on her newly forming swollen belly. Unable to hide anything, Scootaloo told her close friend that she was pregnant; however, Scootaloo refused to name the father and left the conversation at that. Applebloom accepted her friend's decisions and both developed the CMC camp, helped run the Apple Farm, and provided emotional support to the orange pegasus mare. Finally after almost a year of sickness and worry, Scootaloo welcomed a purple pegasus filly into the world, one she named Lunar Luck for the coloring and for the luck she brought her mother. Scootaloo raised Lunar Luck on her own, bringing her everywhere she went: when the filly reached two, Scootaloo helped in the grand opening of the CMC camp, serving as the founder of the Athletics sector of the camp. Lunar Luck even received her cutie mark while tagging along with her mother, and since that day luck seems to follow both Lunar Luck and Scootaloo.

Here I go again! I decided to present my NG interpretations of the Cutie Mark Crusaders in one picture since all three are inseparable. Some things may be subject to change depending on where the show takes these characters and such, so if things change, things change. For now, let me introduce thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth NG families (my gosh) (from left to right), Chip Cutter, Sweetie Belle, and Marble Chord, Tender Taps, Applebloom, and Terra Taps, and Scootaloo and Lunar Luck (and technically Rumble)! For now, some information on the little ponies:
