Character Summary:

In the Saddleveil plains, there were a lot of things to do for a little foal : there were butterflies to observe, grass to roll in, pebbles to collect, flowers to munch, brooks to splash in, and once she was tired enough, Bumble Buns could huddle against her teddy bear close to the fire in the chimney while Mommy made dinner. Life was awesome at the family farm.

Life was awesome back there, and life at the residential school of Fillydelphia paled in comparison. Why did she had to go to school ? Her parents said every pony had to, but she hated every minute of it. She hated the grey, morose buildings she lived and worked in. She hated the work the school forced her to do, full of uninteresting, meaningless stuff she had to learn by heart. And the ponies there weren't nice, not one of them. They said nasty things in her back, and they made fun of her, and they giggled, making sure she could hear them without knowing what was going on. They made fun of her name, in the naïve and cruel way only children can be, and they made fun of her because she had no cutie mark, and they thought she was stupid because she came from a farm. The only friend she had was her plushie teddy bear, which followed her everywhere in the bottom of her schoolbag. Life at school was miserable, and she was glad to go back home every weekend, and sad to go back there every sunday night.

Years passed on. Bumble Buns grew up, spent wonderful vacations at her house with her family, and lonely days at school. She learned to make pastries with her mom, and she loved to do this, she loved to make bread, brioche, buns, with honey and maple syrup and sugar and butter in it, and she loved the ones with honey most. She gave her pastries to the other ponies at school and they started to become nicer, but she never made friends with any of them ; and the mean bullies there started to say she's fat and ugly, which was especially mean thing to say to a young filly. But was hurt the most was how they rubbed in the fact that, despite not being a foal anymore, she still had no cutie mark. Look at the Blank-Flank ! She have no cutie mark, and she will never have one, and that's because she's nothing special ! They laughed. Bumble Buns wasn't a very happy pony.

Her parents were worried about her. They tried to help, but they couldn't do much. They couldn't put her in another school, and they couldn't teach her at the farm all the things a school teach. But they did their best to make her happy. They offered her a lot of toys, they spent a lot of time with her during the week end, they spoiled her a little, and it certainly made the weeks more bearable for the little earth pony. She looked forward to the weekend, and she loved to help her family work at the farm. She woke up and had hot chocolate and pastries, and she could go to the fields with her grandfather and her father and her mother and she helped them a lot, and sometimes she would sleep under a tree when she was tired. And at dinner time they all had a great meal made by her grandmother, with a lot of things she liked in it. It was a fantastic way to spend the day.

She even gained her cutie mark by helping her grandfather at the farm. It was a summer day : he let her come with him to take care of the bees, because he had to collect the honey, and he said she was old enough to come with him now, if she behaved well. She did her best to behave well, and he showed her how the bees lived in their hives, and he explained how they made the honey, and he showed her the honeycomb, and she could even watch him extract the honey with the strange machine that extracted the honey. It was awesome ! Then she helped him put the honey into honey jars and pots, and later in the day they both realized she had a cutie mark on her flank, with three honeycombs and a bee. Bumble Buns was thrilled, she had her cutie mark, and she had an especially cool one ! All the family was very happy, and that night they had a big cake with a lot of honey in it.

The little earth pony spent the rest of the summer learning a lot of things about bees and honey and beekeeping, and it was the best summer of her life. Eventually came the day where she had to go back to school, but it wasn't as dreadful as before. Even if the other ponies weren't nice, she didn't care, she had a cutie mark, and a goal too, she wanted to be a bee keeper ! Bumble Buns wasn't “nothing special” anymore.

School still wasn't fun, but she studied harder than before, because she wanted to learn all there was to learn about running a farm. She learned a lot. She learned mathematics, and accounting stuff, and how to sell her honey pots and make a profit so she could live on farming. She went out of school and visited Fillydelphia, too : she never took the time to get out and visit it before. It wasn't such a bad city, even if the countryside was better. She especially liked Southridge, because of all the different cultures there, and their cooking ! She tried many restaurants, and she ate buffalo food, zebra food, griffin food, and discovered lots of different recipes from all around Equestria. It was there that she celebrated the day she finished school ! And she ate and drank so much, she felt sick and had a mighty headache the following morning. But she didn't care, because she was going home for good now, even if it meant an uncomfortable, bumpy trip back with a nasty hangover.

She now lives as a happy and cheerful young mare, taking care of a bee keeping farm in the Saddleveil Plains, just like she always wanted to. She sometimes go to Fillydelphia, to sell her honey and honey products, or just to spend a week end in the city. And if sometimes she feels lonely because she doesn't have any real friends, she can still sit close to the fire in the chimney with her teddy bear while her mom make the dinner.
