//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: I Hope you're Happy with Her! // by Soniclink137 //------------------------------// Diamond Tiara walked Silver Spoon near the Ponyville High School. Ponyville High School was situated near Ponyville’s park which was the perfect place for the students to play around, have group events, and anything else that the students thought of. As such, it wasn’t that long of a trek for Diamond Tiara to show Silver Spoon the High School. The High School was the same color as Cheerliee’s elementary school, and was almost the same design, only it was slightly larger to fit in the more classes that the Elementary School didn’t have. Also instead of the playground that the elementary school had, the high school had a track behind it and a few fields for games like hoofball. And it was that track that Diamond Tiara was bringing Silver Spoon to in order to check something. As they both reached near the track and the hoofball field they noticed a few colts running across the track, and a couple mares on the other side of the track. Eventually as they continued trotting closer to the track those colts noticed the two fillies out of the corner of their eyes. A forest-green unicorn with an aquamarine mane and a yellow earth pony with a navy blue mane both stopped to look at the two fillies, while another earth pony and pegasus both continued onwards after giving their friends a look for breaking practice just to stare at the two fillies. That’s not to say they weren’t impressed with her looks as well, however they found practice more important than staring. “So this is what the field you guys have looks like,” Silver Spoon said, completely oblivious to the fact that the colts were staring at her. “It’s not as fancy as the one in Manehattan, but I kinda like it.” “Pfft, if you want to trade I’ll be fine that,” Diamond Tiara said. She was looking at how the two colts were looking at Silver Spoon and smiling about it. “I wish our field was fancier, but no matter how much I bri…I mean ask the principal he never listens to me.” “Well maybe it’s because I see that field every day, but I kinda miss the country feel of this field,” Silver Spoon said. “But if you want, maybe someday I can show you the field if you’re ever in Manehattan sometime. I’d be more than happy to.” “Is it just me, or have you become peppy since going to Manehattan?” Diamond Tiara asked. “Well a lot happened to me since I transferred there,” Silver Spoon said. “Actually Diamond…I really wanted to talk to you about that. You see…” But Silver Spoon was interrupted as the two colts that were at first looking at her walked up to her and the yellow earth pony waved his hoof right in front of Silver Spoon’s face in order to get her attention. Silver Spoon wanted to talk to Diamond Tiara first and then talk to the colts, but they were persistent in getting her attention. And Diamond Tiara put her attention to the two colts as well so Silver Spoon wasn’t given much of a choice. “Relay Race,” the yellow earth pony said to Silver Spoon. “Hey, names Discus Toss,” the green unicorn said. “And you’re name, is All Mine.” Silver Spoon was silent out of surprise at the forthcoming of the two colts, but Diamond Tiara just smiled all the more because of it. The earth pony filly walked around the colts and put herself in-between Silver Spoon and the two colts, mostly by pushing the two colts away from her. She looked over at the two colts with the smiles still on her face. “Stay back you two,” Diamond Tiara said. “I need to talk to my friend alone for now. You two can bug her later.” “Out of the way Tiara,” Discus Toss said as he took a swing with his right forehoof to show getting out of the way. “We’re here to talk to…” “Silver Spoon, my friend,” Diamond Tiara reminded him. “Fine, but you two owe us dates later,” Relay Race said. To Silver Spoon he said “Or at least you owe us a date later.” “Maybe if you’re lucky,” Diamond Tiara said with a smirk. “But if she’s going on a date then so am I.” “Alright, I’m good with that. See you both later,” Discus Toss said. He gave a smirky half smile towards Silver Spoon, “Especially you beautiful.” Both the unicorn and earth pony colt turned around and walked away back to the track. They happened to get there just as their earth pony and pegasus friend passed, which got them another disbelieving look from the two. They both chuckled before the four of them continued on their run around the track. “What exactly was that about?” Silver Spoon asked Diamond Tiara as soon as the two were far enough away. “Who are those two?” “Nopony important,” Diamond Tiara said as she turned to face her friend. “Some ponies that happen to be in track, and I think they’re both going to be juniors next year. But the best part, is they both couldn’t keep their eyes off you.” Silver Spoon blushed. “Are you…are you trying to get me a date or something? You know I’m only here for a few days to visit you right?” “I know that,” Diamond Tiara said. “I just needed them to prove something for me, something that you can help me with. And also, if this happened to get you a coltfriend then that’s just another win for you. Just imagine what the ponies in Baltimare will think when you come back taken. You’ll get popular fast.” Silver Spoon wasn’t sure whether to respond to the date part first, the fact that Diamond Tiara had some sort of plan that she needs help with, or her thoughts on actually getting popular in Baltimare. So she decided to get her priorities straight and go for Diamond Tiara’s plan. Diamond Tiara didn’t usually plan anything unless it was big, and if Silver Spoon remembered anything from her friend then it involves Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle somehow. “What exactly do you need help with?” Silver Spoon asked. “What are you planning Diamond?” “It’s easy,” Diamond Tiara said. “I’m going to get Rumble to stand in town square where everypony can see him. As for you, you’re going to put those new looks of yours to good use. Rumble already was gawking at your new looks, so all we need is a little push. You get right up in front of him and start flirting with him while I bring Scootaloo to town hall. Finally, when the time is right, you plant a nice kiss on him right where Scootaloo is able to see it.” Silver Spoon took a few steps back out of surprise. “Wait what?” she asked. “First off, who is Rumble?” “He was that colt that was hanging around Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle before,” Diamond Tiara explained. Through that, and how Diamond Tiara talked about Rumble before, Silver Spoon was able to figure out the next part. “Rumble…is Scootaloo’s coltfriend isn’t he?” Silver Spoon asked. He could have just possibly been a crush of Scootaloo’s or something, but because they were both hanging out together Silver Spoon doubted that. “That’s the point,” Diamond Tiara said. “We’re going to get Scootaloo so jealous. That’ll teach her for showing off her coltfriend. And if I can get Sweetie Belle there that’ll be even better. Those two will regret the day they ever met me.” “But…” Silver Spoon was just about to start, but Diamond Tiara cut her off. “And also thanks to your new looks, after this we both are going to have coltfriends of our own,” she said. “Whether you get Rumble, or if we get those two colts that are in track it doesn’t matter, either way we both will have coltfriends and Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle won’t.” “But Diamond…” Silver Spoon said. “I…I’m not going to do that. It’s not right! I didn’t come here to break up anypony, or get a date. I just came here to hang out with you. And Diamond I need to tell you…” “Well then don’t think of it as breaking up those two,” Diamond Tiara said in an exasperated tone. She was starting to lose patience at her friend. “If Rumble breaks up with Scootaloo to date you then he isn’t ‘loyal’ anyways. I don’t even know why I have to persuade you on this anyways. I thought you were my friend. I’m helping you get yourself a coltfriend so why can’t you help me?” Diamond did you have to play the friendship card? Silver Spoon thought. I came here to start our friendship back up after so long, but not like this. I didn’t want to end up doing this. “Alright fine,” Silver Spoon said reluctantly. “I’ll use my looks to try and charm Rumble. If he stays and doesn't object…then I’ll go through with your plan. But if he walks or flies away then I’m not going to pursue him or force him to do anything. I’m not going to force any breakup or anything.” Silver Spoon turned around and started walking in the direction of Ponyville. She sighed out of disappointment from what she was about to do, but didn’t let Diamond Tiara see it on her face. I…promised her that I wouldn’t use my looks for my own purpose again, Silver Spoon thought as she walked around the high school. Rumble, I don’t know anything about you but I hope you’re smart enough to fly away when I come to you. Diamond Tiara watched as Silver Spoon walked farther and farther away, becoming increasingly smaller in size as she goes. Eventually, as soon as Silver Spoon was out of ear shot, Diamond Tiara looked back at the track behind her. She waited for a few more minutes until the forest-green unicorn finally rounded the track again. “Hey you!” Diamond Tiara yelled at the unicorn. The unicorn stopped to look at her for a few seconds. By the look of things he was tempted to continue onwards and ignore Diamond Tiara, but he decided better of it because of her connection to Silver Spoon. So grudgingly, Discus Toss got off the track and trotted across the grass to Diamond Tiara’s location. “What do you want?” he asked. “I need you to do something for me,” Diamond Tiara said. “What’s in it for me?” Discus Toss asked. “Do you want to get lucky?” Diamond Tiara asked. “Alright I’m listening,” Discus Toss said as he took a step back to listen. “There is going to be a pegasus colt that will be standing at the center of town hall later today,” Diamond Tiara said. “Silver Spoon is going to be flirting with that colt and just to make sure he doesn’t go away I want you to use your magic and hold him in place. Silver Spoon will go on for a while until she finally gives him a kiss. After she does that, you can feel free to let him go.” “So I’m supposed to watch as the filly I’m trying to get is flirting with another colt and watch as she kisses him?” Discus Toss asked. “Don’t worry, it won’t matter afterwards,” Diamond Tiara said. “I’ll have already won then. Afterwards I’ll help you get Silver Spoon.” “Hmm…you know magically holding somepony against their will is against the law,” Discus Toss said. “I could get in a lot of trouble for helping you with that.” “My father is Filthy Rich,” Diamond Tiara reminded him. “Guess what that means I have access to a lot of?” “Alright deal,” Discus Toss said as he extended his hoof. “Good,” Diamond Tiara said as she shook on it. “Head over to town hall later. I’ll make sure to give you the money after you are done helping me.” “I was hoping for before, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers,” Discus Toss said. He then ran off back on to the track. Diamond Tiara smiled in anticipation for what she knew was going to be a good day later. Everything was in place for her plan to come into fruition. All she needs to do now, was go find that gray pegasus and get him to stand in town square where Silver Spoon was waiting.
