//------------------------------// // 4 - Return to Ponyville // Story: The Legend of the Rare Rainbow Diamond, Rarest Diamond that Ever Existed // by Blue Tiger //------------------------------// Spike and Rarity didn't talk much on the way back to Ponyville, nor when they got there. Rarity was still mad at Spike for eating the only known Rainbow Diamond that ever existed. They noticed Twilight flying to them. "Hey Rarity," She said when she landed in front of them. "Did you find the Rainbow Diamond?" "We did," Rarity said. "But Spike just couldn't help but eat it." "But you know gems are his favorite foods," Twilight said. "Especially if they're extremely rare. Those are the ones he thinks taste the best." "Oh yeah," Rarity said. She took out the book she borrowed. "Here's the book back. I won't be needing it anymore." "Thanks," Twilight said. She took out a book herself. "A new copy of the Rare Rainbow Diamond came out! Somepony discovered another Rainbow Diamond somewhere in the Grand Canyon while you were looking for the one in the Himalayan Mountains." "Really?" Rarity said as she took the book. She opened it and read it. "Another Rainbow Diamond has been found somewhere in the Grand Canyon. Somepony found it later after the Rainbow Diamond on the Himalayan Mountains has been 'accidentally' destroyed." "Wait, How did they know the one on the Himalayan Mountains was eaten?" Spike said, surprised. "I don't know, but they were quick to find out," Twilight said. Rarity continued to read. "However, the pony who found it wasn't able to survive because the lack of hydration. Like the other diamond, this will also bring good luck to ponies who find it. It is also worth over $1.5 million." That was all Rarity needed to read. She closed the book and gave it back to Twilight. "Well I guess you know what this means." "You're gonna find that Rainbow Diamond?" Twilight asked. "Without Spike of course," Rarity said. She noticed the upset look on Spike's face. "Well, I guess you can come. But promise me you won't eat the diamond!" "I don't think I can promise you that!" Spike said. The three laughed.
