Meanwhile, I found myself being dragged into the home of Diamond Tiara. As soon as we've entered, we were greeted by this stallion with brown fur and black hair. "Hello sweetie, did my precious little Diamond have a good day at school?"
"I sure did, Daddy." Said Diamond.
"And who's this strapping young colt?"
"This is Sheldon," explained Diamond, "he's Silver Spoon's boyfriend."
"Really," her dad then turned his attention towards me, "you definitely seem to be a real charmer around fillies."
"Indeed," that's when I took notice of the pink furred, dark purple maned, middle-aged mare whom I could only assume to be Diamond Tiara's mother. "It's only a shame that he couldn't be my daughter's boyfriend."
"I am more than capable of getting a boyfriend of my own, Mother." She replied with a hint of annoyance.
Her father turned his attention to me and ask, "So where did you come from, Sheldon?"
Before I could think of a made-up place, Silver Spoon went and told him my actual home. "He like came from Canterlot."
"Canterlot, you say?" skeptical about my provenance, Diamond's mom began to mess about with some of the strands of my brown mane as if putting me through some kind of inspection. "You certainly have the mane style of one from Canterlot, though I've never encountered somepony who has to communicate through a slate. Are you some kind of special needs pony?"
"He's just mute, Mother, it's nothing to make a bid deal over."
"I know some talented surgeons from Canterlot who could fix your speaking predicament," said Diamond's dad. "I happen to have a lot of business partners there, as well. Perhaps I know your father; what's his name?"
Luckily, I never talked about my parents in front of these two, for it'll give me a great chance to make-up a name for my dad. So after quick thinking, I took my chalk and wrote down, "Colt Vandelay."
Diamond's dad looked at my board and said, "Don't think I recall meeting him, but I'm sure he must be a swell pony."
"He mustn't be too much of an important pony if neither of us has ever made his acquittance." Diamond's mom dismissed my dad with the pomposity of any typical snob.
"You'll have to excuse my wife, Sheldon; she can be quite opinionated from time to time. It's been a pleasure meeting you, young colt; give my regards to your parents, and remember, my offer of free surgery still stands."
The second they both left, Silver Spoon said, "He really can like afford that surgery, ya know."
"Yeah," said Diamond, "they don't call him Filthy Rich for nothing." Wow, his parents must've really hated him if they had to put the word "Filthy" in his name.
After that brief encounter, I was then brought into Diamond Tiara's room. It was pink--like most girls room--and had a lot of stuffed animals. But the one thing that surprised me the most was the fact that there's a nightlight in her room. Really, she still sleeps with a nightlight? I mean, if anypony ever found out about this, then she'd probably be embarrassed until high school.
Anyway, I was having to sit with them on some little table that had a miniature tea set. Diamond Tiara was just rambling, while Silver Spoon was nuzzling next to my side. I was focusing my mind at Diamond Tiara--as she kept on rambling. Then next thing you know, I began to see what appeared to be a memory.
...
I saw her and Silver Spoon standing out in the sidelines of some stadium, and they both seemed to be completely bummed out. "It's just not fair!" Diamond Tiara whined.
"Yeah, even when we like cheat we can't beat those Blank Flanks." Said Silver Spoon.
I then saw Rumble walking towards them. "Oh Rumby, I knew you wouldn't forget me." Diamond Tiara was about to kiss him, but he stopped her.
"Diamond, we need to talk."
"About what?"
"I found out what you and Silver said to Scootaloo, and I don't like it one bit."
"What're you saying?"
"I'm saying we're done; you and me, we're never going to be together again."
And as he was walking away, Diamond cried out, "Fine, see if I care! You're nothing without me!"
I must've been fast forwarded to a couple minutes later, because I then saw Diamond in her room, crying her head off, while eating a tub of ice cream and looking at a picture of Rumble. "Why Rumble, why?! I could've been anything you wanted! Silver, I'm out of ice cream, get me more!"
She then tosses the tub over at Silver. She quickly ducked her head and said with a groan, "OK Diamond, I'll get you some more."
...
Wow, I guess she didn't take it as easy as Rumble thought she would. After witnessing those memories, I decided to turn my focus back to Silver Spoon--who was still staring dreamily at me. As she was just gazing into my eyes, I could hear her inner voice say, "Mrs. Vandelay, one day Silver, one day." I can't imagine what's worse: being her boyfriend, or being her husband.
Diamond then got up and was setting something up over at her drawer. As this was happening, Silver closed her eyes and was about to kiss me. Seeing as how her eyes were closed, and that Diamond had her back turned, I quickly used my Mind Powers to have a stuffed animal come in front me, made Silver kissed it, and then set it back.
When Diamond Tiara sat down, I could hear Silver's inner voice say, "His lips are soft...I wonder if that's the only part of him that's soft?" I then suddenly felt her hoof grasping my flank! At that point I took my chalk and wrote down, "Well it was nice hanging with you two, but I gotta go home." And with that said, I ran as fast as I could.
The second I left, Silver said to Diamond, "So...did you like get it?"
"You bet I did." She then went to her drawer and picked up a camera that she had set. She then took a picture out and gave it to Silver.
"Oh thank you Diamond, this'll look like great in my scrapbook!"
When I was finally out of that dungeon, I immediately went straight to my house. As I stood upon the doorstep, I took awhile to catch my breath from all the running. But all that breath was soon taken out of me the second I opened the door and was greeted with, "Surprise!"
As I was having a panic attack, I was soon greeted by this hyper pink pony. "Hi there, you don't know me, but I work with your mom over at Sugarcube Corner! when she first started work, she mentioned that you all just came a few days ago! and I was like," she then let out a loud gasp, "because normally I'm more prepared when it comes to welcoming new ponies! so I then suggested to your mom that I throw you a 'welcome to Ponyville' party! and were you totally surprised?!" not being able to write on my chalkboard for the moment, I just simply nodded. "That's great! well you go ahead and enjoy yourself, I've got some sweets to chow on!"
As soon as the pink pony had left, my mom came to check on me. "So, what do you think? can Pinkie Pie throw a great party or what?"
At that point, I finally regained the ability to write on my board. "Is she always this hyper?"
"Yeah, I imagine that it comes from having to be around sugary filled treats on a daily basis." My mom then tried to make me interact with other ponies. "Say Sheldon, aren't those your little friends at school? go talk to them."
Seeing as how my mom probably had a lot to do today, I figured that I better just go by her wishes. I soon found myself sitting at a table with Pecan, Rumble, and Button. Button was still staring into that little gizmo of his, that is until his mom had snatched it away from him. "Mom, I was still playing that!"
"No Button," his mom told him, "you can play this when we're at home, but until then, talk with your friends."
As soon as she left, Button made a pouty face as his inner voice said, "You'd think that having a girlfriend would be enough for her, but no!"
I felt a tapping on my shoulder. I turned and I saw this tanned fur stallion with a black mane in the shape of a bowl cut. "Hey there neighbor, I'm Pecan's older brother."
"Tex?"
"Oh, so he did tell you a little about me. He also told me that ya got yerself a little crush on Applejack's sister."
"How did you make Applejack your girlfriend?"
"With somepony as straightforward as Applejack, I only hadta talk ta her." I started to feel a bit discouraged after that--what with me not being able to talk and all. But then Tex told me, "Hey, I don't mean that ya literally have ta talk. You can just write down how ya feel on that little blackboard. Now if you'll excuse me, my mare is waitin' fer me." I then saw him walk up to an orange pony with a cowboy hat and started to kiss her.
I was soon greeted by this black pegasus with spiky blue hair. "Hey there little dude, I'm Rumble's big brother, Thunderlane. So, did ya get your girlfriend yet?"
"Not exactly."
"Well hang in there little dude, it may take a while at first, but you'll get her."
Then as soon as he left, I then saw the arrival of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Then for no reason at all, everyone--except me and Apple Bloom--just left the table. We just stared at each other for awhile, and even that's all the time I need to see how beautiful she is. Seeing as how this may be the only chance I'll ever get, I decided to write something down on my board.
"Are you enjoying yourself?"
She looked at the board and said, "Yeah, Pinkie's parties are always fun."
Remembering what Rumble told me, I decided to compliment her. "That's a nice bow you have on."
She was flustered a bit, but then said, "Uh, thanks. I gotta dozen of 'em back at my room."
"Are they all the same color?"
"Yeah, I've always felt that pink was my color." After a brief silence, I could hear her inner voice say, "There's no way that he's inta me; if he is, then he wouldn't be datin' Silver Spoon."
Seeing as how I'm beginning to lose her, I quickly wrote down, "Can I get you something to drink?"
"Well, I guess I am a little thirsty." As soon as I got off the chair and went into the kitchen, I could of sworn that I heard someone shout, "Oh come on!"
When I was inside the kitchen, I noticed that Spike was at the punch table. When I walked up to him, he said, "Hey Sheldon, come to get something to drink?"
I nodded my head, and as he gave me a cup, I wrote on my board, "Thank you."
And that must've meant something to Spike, because he then said, "Wow, you don't know how often it is that I'm ever thanked for my services."
"You mean nopony thanks you?"
"Yeah," said Spike, "even Twilight barely thanks me once in awhile. It's almost as if everypony only sees me as a tool."
"I don't think that."
"Well it's a good thing that I have a friend like you."
"Spike, are you almost done? we need to get back to the castle as soon as possible." I then saw with my very eyes, a real alicorn! this one was purple, and had a dark purple mane with a pink stroke in it. When she saw me, she said, "Hi there, you must be Sheldon. Spike's told me a lot about you."
"Are you Twilight Sparkle?"
"Yes, I'm the princess around here. Although I wasn't always a princess; before all this, I was just a student to Celestia." As soon as she mentioned that name, I dropped my cup and I started to tremble a little. "What's wrong?"
Even though my whole body was shaking, I was still able to write down, "You know Princess Celestia?"
"Yes, sometimes I even send her reports on what happens in Ponyville."
I was slowly backing away from her at this point. When she tried to get close to me, I immediately bolted out and went straight to my room.
...
When the party was finally over, my dad came in to see if I was all right. "Son, what happened back there? why were you running like that?"
I took my chalkboard and gave him my reasons, "I met Twilight Sparkle."
"You did? well aren't you a lucky foal."
"She works for Celestia! She'll tell her where I am, and then she'll take me away!"
"Now son, you shouldn't feel that way towards Twilight Sparkle. Did you use your Mind Powers in front of her." I shook my head. "Then she'll have no reason to tell Celestia. Besides, your mother and I would never let anypony take you away from us. The reason why we moved here in the first place was to protect you. So don't worry about anything; you'll always be safe while we're around."
As soon as he left my room, I looked out my window and I saw a flower outside. Making sure that nopony was around to see this, I opened the window and with my Mind Powers, I made the flower float towards me. And as I kept it floating in the air, I pulled off some of the petals one by one with my mind as well. She loves me...she loves me not...
