So, um, whoa. 
Rum Punch is at slot four and floating down, but I'd fully expected the run to end by, like, a few hours after it happened. Certainly didn't think I'd get to Monday.
It's a pleasant surprise but it is a little overwhelming. 
I really appreciate it, folks. 
Thank you for the favorites, the upvotes, and the comments. I'll try to catch up with some of the comments later today, when I can. 
COMMENT WAR
Oh good Lord. Stahp being so humble. You have the confounding right to be a bit of a Trixie at this point.
Quality deserves praise!

Shouldn't you include adultish Sweetie in the cover art?
You must not have read your own story. Diamond Belle is the ultimate ship. The two are the reverse of each other.
And the way it was told as a coming out and self discovery story with the fear of losing your bestest friends because you happen to be a lesbian while the other is straight and can totally shun you for thinking you'll force yourself or your ways on them?
ANNND Scootaloo once again reprising her role as official alcohol supplier and alcohol inhaler? Well, no one was shown as getting crazy with the drinks but still.
Sweetie Belle's perspective was beautiful and Diamond Tiara complimented that whole discovery thing very well. Very believable.
I may have been an ungrateful fart by not leaving a comment on your story when I woke up and saw it posted in the group, leaving only a measly fav and a like, I apologize. It certainly wasn't because I didn't think it deserving of one. Just been busy helping a friend with his latest story he wanted me to pre-read and well, 4 chapters later and some many butthurt comments elsewhere on fimfic later~ I finally find my way here. Course, other boring rl day to day, but point is your story was fantastic.
I've wished for a Diamond Belle fic and this delivered more than I'd ever expected to receive. So for that, I thank you!
I do hope to see you do more someday if inspiration of new story ideas or sequels ever come up!

She's hard to see in it, but her proportions are a little different. Most Sweetie Belle images I found had the wrong facial expression. (And, to be honest, the image of Diamond I found originally had a smile, but I went with it because it didn't have the tiara on her head (I think she's going to set it aside as she gets older, and it was important in Royals) and her eyes were open wide but not obviously 'smiling'. I turned her smile into a frown and composited it.)
that's my cola, stripping away at the enamel of everyone's feels...
