Hello Everypony, I am Theo Vellum, and welcome to my array of stories. I happen to enjoy all kinds of books, I enjoy ponies as well, and lots of other things. I hope to see you all soon.

T

Hello, my name is Diamond Tiara, and I am here to tell you the story of my eleventh birthday wish. You see, it's rumored around the schoolyard that the eleventh birthday is very special, in that any wish you make for it before blowing out the candles on your cake is just meant to come true! So when I wish for the best year ever to have fun and spend way more time around my friends and family, I get a little more than I bargained for.

For an entire year I will have to deal with ordinary family and friend things like spending time with them, celebrating Thanks and Peace day, and all sorts of things that happen every year. But my birthday wish seems to want to be a smart flank, and is also putting my friends and family through exciting things I wasn't even thinking of... Well, I hope you at least enjoy the story of my year, cause I have an entire year worth of stories to go through!


Thanks to Bootsy Slickmane and Mager Blutooth for helping with the editing of the story. And thanks to everyone at the Diamond Cutters chat for your everlasting support. Seriously, you weirdos are the funnest people I've ever been around!

Also, Bootsy Slickmane totally made the coverart! Give him the awesomes. Even though he has plenty of it already.

"It may no longer be a daily challenge, but it's still going to be 366 days of fun for DT. I have lots of ideas for chapters, and plan 50 days ahead for the most part. I want to make sure my viewers get the best they can get, and with Bootsy's artistic help I'll soon be able to add illustrations to some of the chapters too! At this point in time, the Halloween chapter is the only one that has one, but Bootsy is not one to give up, and neither am I. I hope that if you do view my story, you enjoy it immensely, all I really want is to be able to entertain you all." ~ Theo Vellum

wow, that was pretty good. I can't wait to see how her new year goes!

Randolph is a bit of a trip. Might want to toss that "Other" tag if you're going to be staring Buttons and others in later chapters too. Fun start, added to tracking :D

P.S. Awesome cover art!

Are you serious? OCTOBER 25TH IS MY BIRTHDAY!
I took the ACT test yesterday, which was my birthday, just 50 minutes ago. No I didn't take the test 50 minutes ago

5186568 Well well well, Happy Birthday then. Consider this story your year long present!

“Grrrrrr. Everypony in this town is CRAZY!”

Don't worry, Diamond. You're not the only one who thinks that :twilightsmile:

5187432 THANK YOU!
And it will be year long?! OMG!!! THAT'S REALLY AWESOME!

GOOD LUCK! I know it can be hard to keep up with a story for a whole year, from what I've heard... SO GOOD LUCK AND DON'T EVERY GIVE UP!!!!

5187432 Wait, 366 days, so that means it will conclude with her next b-day? COOL ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PRESENT NEXT YEAR!:yay:

You wish to give DT some serious development... thats gonna be a hell of a task. I do look forward to seeing this happen, cause I feel it could make for an awesome fic. Excellent beginning. Keep this up, and you'll have something amazing! :pinkiehappy:

Not a bad chapter.
I'm still waiting to get to the good stuff.

Nice little filler chapter.

I know you're writing these everyday so there really isn't time for revision but you do need to focus on description some more.

“It’s called... The Silver Spooner! It just came to me in a dream!”

Luna gives her dreams based on Bootsy's stories :pinkiehappy:

“OwowowowOW!”
Please ignore me falling down the stairs like an idiot, I was just excited because I suddenly remembered what today was! It was my birthday!

I already love this:rainbowlaugh:

It would be much better if I could open my presents now so I can decide what me and Silver will play with first ahead of time! I mean, it’s so obvious!

I believe Diamond would make a great Lawyer:raritywink:

Randolph then does a few flips out of my room, if I had to describe him... I’d say he’s that funny Uncle I’ve never had. He’s been with us since I was an adorable, angelic, little baby, and he’s pretty fun to be around. Ask him anything and he’ll usually have a pretty cool story to tell about it. I sometimes have to question whether he makes up some of the stories he tells though. Anyway... Back to the presents!

OMG I am loving your Tiara and her take on her relationship with Randolph.:pinkiehappy: it is so much better then her butler abuse in the show.:twilightsheepish:

As soon as I opened the present, Dazzle jumped out and gave me a very scary face. It looks like he’s not very pleased I decided to open her present early... Darn! He and Randolph must have known this would happen! I can hear Randolph giving a big laugh from down the hallway.

this kinna confuses as to whether Dazzle is a he or a she cat.:twilightoops:

I’ve got plenty of old games that I don’t play anymore. And at least two systems I have got spares of since the incident with the thief, banana peel, and the rice. I don’t really have all that much to lose from this. If Button Mash wants to do this, it might finally get him off my back...

are we supposed to know what any of that means?:facehoof:

We were just about to take off, when I notice Apple Bloom doing some tricks on Scootaloo’s scooter. Hm... How can I tease slash humiliate them this time…?

if the party is over what are the CMC still playing in DT's front lawn?

Ok... When Scootaloo tells you that you’re going too fast, even I know you should listen to her. Just what does Apple Bloom think she’s doing?
I felt a little shake. It seems we’re taking off now. I guess I won’t get to see how she screws up this time.
“Woooooah! I- I’m going to crash!” I look just in time to see Apple Bloom flying in my direction. Time seems to slow to a crawl, and I barely manage to just duck in time. I look back, and see Apple Bloom land safely on the ground. Why that little, I oughta... Ow... What’s with this headache? I didn’t get hit with anything... Oh, she pushed my Tiara into my head a little... That little... Ugh, too painful for insults right now. I think I’ll just let this one go.

are you saying that Applebloom got up enough speed to jump over a carriage that is rising into the air and somehow land safely on the other side without dong more then nicking Diamond's tiara into her head?:pinkiegasp:

And that’s how the most exciting and fun year of my life started... Now let me tell you about the next three sixty four. This promises to be a most exciting year!
Day 1 END

great start. some errors and you need to seriously suspend disbelief for AB's big stunt but all in all a great start. Can't wait read the rest Diamond Tiara's HIGH ADVENTURE!:twilightsmile:

Silver trots off and returns with more cookies, though she gets the gross oatmeal ones. How can ponies stand to eat those? Especially the ones with raisins. Raisins are the worst. They’re like these shriveled-up little thingies. Who would wanna eat something so wrinkly? Only nerds like Button… and Silver, but she’s okay. She can eat raisins if she wants.

okay I am with Silver in that I LOOOVE Oatmeal cookies:pinkiehappy:

but i am also with DT in the fact that I HATE raisins!:twilightangry2:

I loved Silver as the Sports Caster!:twilightsmile:

5196825 There's a reason for what happened there, but we won't get to that until a future interaction between Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom. So please, continue suspending your disbelief for a while longer on that part. And as for Dazzle, it's a he cat. I should fix that little error. So you should see it fixed soon. (I sometimes make that mistake myself though.) Also! If you didn't know about Dazzle beforehand, go check out Mager Blutooth. He's the creator of the character.

P.S Thanks for all the comments! It so fun to see so many comments show up, it allows me to know you all are enjoying this story!

The plot thickens.

HAHAHAHA no not really but this was a nice little chapter regardless.

I look forward to that aftermath of the movie marathon

This remains interesting. Keep up the pace, cause so far, you're doing well. :twilightsmile:

5208566 I'm sorry if I made you lose confidence in me. To be honest, I was starting to lose confidence in myself, but a pep talk from quite a few of my fellow Diamond Cutters helped break me out of my sick nervous feelings. Whenever I'm sick I tend to be nervous about the things I'll miss, and whenever I'm intensely nervous I end up actually sick because of it. I'm trying to fix that part of myself however, and I have a commitment to keep, which is why I'm writing two chapters a day from now on even once I've got caught up, though I will still only post one a day once I'm caught up. I hope you still enjoy my writing though, it's... I'm kind of nervous about it. Any constructive criticism is welcome!

That dream... It felt so real... My hooves actually feel sore from all the running I did... But how could a dream feel so real?!

I got a Sleepless vibe from that line...

I’m going to have to have a talk to Button’s mother about staying out of the R-rated movie cabinet.

Button's mom is generally R-rated. No wonder he wants to talk to her... :rainbowlaugh:

So, Dazzle doesn't have sugar in his blood. He has blood in his sugar :rainbowlaugh:

5259312 I was browsing through the comments when I noticed that you mentioned the Diamond Cutters helped give you the motivation to continue writing. I have to admit, this was really incredible to hear. Keep up the amazing work, my friend.

Cheerilee is still a bit mad at you for the incident with the beach ball, the sandbags, and the makeshift hot air balloon.

I guess it's a long story...

I see Silver is well on her way to becoming a superheroine.

Yeah, it isn't dead!
Keep going if you can, I know it ain't easy. :yay:

It is great to hear that, even though you sense that you will not make your planned completion date, you still fully intend to see this project through. I applaud you, good Sir.

I agree... So...
TELL THE LONG STORY!!!:flutterrage:
I am very intrigued, if you couldn't tell. :moustache:

SpongeBob, Dragon Ball Z (I think), and possible EQ3 references.

Also, love the story and all, but I feel like DT and SS should be a little bit meaner. I appreciate you not going over the top, but remember, they are bullies.

Well, not literally.

Yeah... Ask Spike...

My reputation would be ruined! Utterly ruined!

Diamond, are you sure you and Rarity aren't a family?

“Um... Comic... Edian? Comic-Edian! Yeah! Totally that!”

Interesting choice of names...
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/watchmen/images/0/03/020209-portraits04-big.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090302154324

“You like comic books, don’t you, Comic-Edian?”

31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1xdsqWg2a1r0qilz.jpg

jump off the Manehattan tower on a bungee cord with him, or-

Or, like the Comedian, without the cord (not really a Watchmen spoiler, since it's in the first page and this comic is around since 1986).

Hmm, wonder which Power Pony Diamond would be...

5716570 thats a good question. Would she only have Mistress Marvelous and Fillysecond as choices because she is an Earth Pony?

or could she do the Masked Matterhorn without the wings and a prosthetic horn? her special talent is spuosed to do with leadership. Or maybe Radiance?

Then again she does have a hell of a temper so maybe That Hulk pony thing?:unsuresweetie:

6139304
Who knows. What if changes into Hulk when she's angry?

“I suppose that could be the case, after all... Such a sweet little filly like me... Turning into such a monster. I mean the very thought of it is-”

Well, she already is a monster... at least in canon.

5673574

Diamond, are you sure you and Rarity aren't a family?

That would be both one of the most hilarious twists and one of the most awkward moments in the entire show.

6140063 Yeah i can't imagine Diamond Tiara hulking out I'm going for Radiance or Masked Matterhorn cause I think the MM's horn is a prosthetic in the comic so she is not a natural alicorn. She's a Pegasus with a magic phallus on her head LOL:rainbowlaugh:

7097808
I wonder what else she does with it... (and then someone will write a fic about that).

7097890 I'm sure they will:twilightoops:

i wonder if the author really plans 366 chapters for this story.:twilightsheepish:

also I could have sworn most of these had 3 digit word counts now most of them are over 1000 words.:rainbowhuh:

gaah! Day 4 of 16! boy did I let myself get behind.:twilightsheepish:

First there’s her Dad, Bill Neigh, who often teaches a class in a college in Canterlot. From what I hear of him, he often teaches in a very entertaining way that gets students interested in his classes.

O-M-:trollestia: I'm squeeing so hard at that reference.:pinkiehappy:

“Oh come on, you can totally tell that’s a fake monster!” My best friend continues to rant off about how this movie looks so fake and stuff like that. Honestly, is she scared of anything?!

this pleases Silver Spoon :trixieshiftright:

Sweetie Belle and Twist are discussing what kind of Halloween candy they’ll be getting this year,

uh oh Halloween slipped in there.

Well that was certainly super sokaingly satisfying!:pinkiehappy:

Silly Spoony nopony wins in an eating competition. Accept maybe Pinkie Pie.:pinkiesick: or not..

I can't tell if this was a regular pediatrician visit or a dentist visit with all the talk of teeth and cavities. :twilightoops:

Don't worry Dia, it's all fake. Bad actors who will eventually make bad movies.:raritywink:
