Silver Spoon's Secret

Chapter 3: The Unexpected

"Yes, it's me. Bet you didn't expect me huh?" Silver Spoon kept calm.

"What do you want?" Scootaloo glared at Silver Spoon. She still remembered the insult they gave her yesterday.

"Calm down Scootaloo, I came here alone. Diamond Tiara won't walk behind you and dump tar or anything on you, I promise. We aren't even friends anymore." Silver Spoon said that last part quieter. She meant to say that in her head but her tongue slipped.

"You ain't? Why not?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"Well you see, that's part of the reason why I wanted to talk to you three. But before I tell you, are you hungry or thirsty? I'll pay for everything." Silver Spoon pulled out a small pouch filled with bits and placed it on the table.

"Woah. How much do you have in there?" Scootaloo was shocked. She had never seen this much money before.

"About 200 bits. I have more at home so don't worry about owing me or anything."

Scootaloo's jaw dropped. "Where'd you get all of those bits? Ah'd hate for you to use your life savin's." Apple Bloom asked.

"Diamond Tiara would always give me very expensive jewelry when we were still friends, but now that we aren't I decided to sell them to the jewelry shop. I got around 30,000 bits when i sold everything."

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo's mouths flew open. "Why are you two so shocked by this? Rarity can make 30,000 bits in a year."

"That's a lot of bits." Scootaloo managed to say with her mouth still open.

"Yeah, it's a good amount. So are you going to get something or not?" Silver Spoon asked, getting a little impatient.

"Ah'll have a strawberry milkshake."

"I want a vanilla milkshake!"

"I'll take a chocolate milkshake."

"Ok, I'll be back." Silver Spoon walked away to the counter to order.

"Anypony else still suspicious of Silver Spoon?" Scootaloo asked in a lowered voice.

"Why would we? Silver Spoon seemed pretty sincere when she said she wasn't friends with Diamond Tiara anymore." Apple Bloom replied.

"Yeah, but what if it's a prank?"

"She's buying us milkshakes Scootaloo, why would she do that for a prank?" Sweetie Belle asked back.

"And why did you ask for a milkshake if you think this is all a prank?" Apple Bloom added.

“First of all, I’m hungry, and second, we haven’t been to Sugarcube Corner in a while.”

“It’s been a week Scootaloo.” Sweetie Belle deadpanned.

Apple Bloom sushed. “Silver Spoon’s coming back.”

Silver Spoon walked back to the table and sat down. “Mr. Cake said he’ll have Pinkie Pie deliver the drinks to us in a minute.”

“So now will you tell us what happened?” Apple Bloom asked.

Silver Spoon inhaled, then exhaled. “So after we made fun of you three we went to the spa to have our usual after school spa treatments. I guess while we were getting our treatments I was expressing my sorrow for calling you three names too obviously and she noticed. She started asking me “What’s wrong.” and such. I told her I would explain after we finished with our treatments and that’s what I did. We got into-”

Pinkie Pie trotted to the table, balancing a tray of three milkshakes on her head. “Hiya girls! Here are those milkshakes you ordered!”

Each of the CMC’s reached for their milkshakes. “Thanks Pinkie!”

“No problem girls.” !!! Pinkie Pie sniffed the air. “Oh no! I forgot about the muffins!” Pinkie Pie disappeared into the kitchen.

Silver Spoon cleared her throat. “So anyways, we got into a fight after I explained to her that I hated bullying other ponies, especially you three, and we ended up not being friends anymore.”

After a few seconds of silence, Sweetie Belle spoke up. “So what are you going to do now?”

“Well, I was hoping that we could start over. I feel really bad about how much we’ve made fun of you three about not having a cutie mark.”

“Well girls?” Apple Bloom looked at Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle smiled and nodded. Apple Bloom turned around to Scootaloo.

“I guess it’s cool. But one more chicken joke and it’s over.”

Apple Bloom turned back to Silver Spoon. “Ahlright Silver Spoon, we accept your apology.”

Silver Spoon sighed in relief. “Thank you girls, now I know that I have at least some ponies who forgive me.” She looked around the room. “Do you girls know what time it is?”

Sweetie Belle took out her watch from her saddlebag. “It’s 3:40.”

“I better get going, my parents are probably wondering where I am.” Silver Spoon slid off of her seat. “I’ll see you girls tomorrow!.” Silver Spoon walked out of Sugarcube Corner.

“Think we should also get going? Applejack is probably goin’ crazy. Ya’ll know how overprotective she is.” Apple Bloom spoke up.

“I have some time, Rarity is most likely working on a dress.”

“Lemme just chug the rest of my milkshake and we can go.” Scootaloo grabbed her cup and lifted it up. “Bottoms up!” She chugged the rest of her milkshake in one big gulp.

“Why’d ya say that?” Apple Bloom asked.

“I heard Rainbow Dash say that when she chugs down her drinks.” Scootaloo burped. “Alright, let’s go.” They jumped off of their seats and waved goodbye to Pinkie Pie at the counter, who was tending to Derpy. “Yay, muffins!”
