After the events that took place that fateful day, Diamond Tiara is faced with new problems. She might have been happy to help the school fillies and colts, but that happiness could never last. Little does she know, that her pursuit of lasting happiness could take her farther than she expected.

Disowned by her parents, Randolph sends her to Mane-hattan to live with Coco Pommel. She is faced with new opportunities and challenges. Will she keep what she learned? Or revert back to the bully she once was?

How much can one little pony take?

-A Little Side Note- If you must leave a dislike, mention in the comments the problem you've found in the story. I will do my best to fix it. After all, I came onto Fimfiction to improve my writing.

I liked it. I wonder why she was sent to live with Coco though, because she doesn't seem to have any obvious connection with the Rich family.
Still, I look forward to seeing where this journey takes us... :twilightsmile:

She started down the street, looking back periodically as Randolph waved back from his perch on the porch. “Goodbye, Mistress Tiara.”
Good bye indeed, the poor old man probably won't live enough to see her again. :ajsleepy:

While many could rest, the little filly stayed up, hoping with all of her might that Coco would accept her.

No Coco tag for this story, I have a bad feeling. :ajsleepy:

Sure this is a depessing start. Let's see where this is going.

I see the author is an Aladdin fan. My favourite character personally, is Iago. Both him and DT have something in common, after all... :)

I hope this doesn't come off as rude (I'm just trying to clear up any confusion). Plus, I wanted to get this reply out before too much time passed.

In the moderation stage, the story didn't have the Coco chapter yet. So, just to be careful, I left it out until Coco made her first appearance so it wouldn't fail moderation. Turns out, it would've been just fine to add a Coco tag at the beginning since the moderators are just looking for anything that breaks major regulations.

Later on, as more characters are introduced, I will add more tags. Just so you are aware.

Hope this clears up any confusion between past and present. :pinkiesmile:

I’ve been reading through and I can’t wait to get to the most recent chapter - can I just say, this is so interesting and I love the way this chapter is done!?
So unique and stylistic and important. It gets the message across so well. I just absolutely love the contrast of the dreams she experiences. The first one is so vividly sweet and beautiful and lovely and the second so accurately captures what the sad reality of a persons’ situation may be... this is so so good. Keep up the good work mate :rainbowwild:

“I do, but if I wear it too long, it hurts.” Dazzle said. “So today, I'm taking a break.”

I like this line. I think it makes good characterization :)

This fic is very, VERY late. My apologies.

What do you mean by that?

It's kinda of a thing I left there since this story has a history behind it. First five chapters were posted late in season 5, when the hype for Diamond Tiara's Reformation was dying down.

Ultimately. I decided to keep it since there was a three year gap in between chapter 5 and 6 (My thoughts are that this statement still stands because it is very late to be finishing up a story, but I'll finish it up nonetheless).

Sorry about the confusion. :twilightsheepish: Hope that clears it up.

(Also, thank you for pointing that out, I will set it on my agenda that I need to correct the story description.)

Can I please get a link to that song?

One of the many reasons why you may not find it using apps such as Spotify or itunes is because this is a royalty-free song (as far as I know). The artist started out on a Newgrounds page, so there is a free download for the music file.

Thank you for asking this! I think I should put in another edit for the story description... or better yet, a link in the story description that leads to a blog post regarding the why and how behind this (Since this is meta).

This story's premise confuses me. I can understand Spoiled disowning Diamond if she got mad enough, but I just can't see Filthy doing such a thing.

Answering this while the concern is still fresh, so please bear with me the unrefined answer I have:

I was about to put in a whole block of text, but in the words of Kevin Malone from the Office; "Why use lot word when few do trick?"

It all boils down to three words:
Filthy was coerced.

From Chapter One, it is mentioned:

“Excuse me?!” her shout conquered the other “I helped you when you were in business trouble… and I can take that away, just as easy… Is that what you want?!”

Silence hung in the air, dissonant to the previous shouts that occupied the room.

“Do… I… Make… Myself… Clear?” Her mother emphasized every syllable

An answer came, as the voice became oddly calm, as if it was submitting “Crystal,”

“Good.”

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! :twilightsmile: I guess I need to work on the art of implication :facehoof: In my experience, its proven to be my weakness.

If you have any more concern regarding the premise, feel free to PM me. I can elaborate if needed (as I said before, I was about to post a huge block of text, but stopped myself).

Again, sorry if this reply comes off as blunt. I'm not meaning it to be that way. Confusion is rarely a friend to reading/writing/comprehension, so I'm glad to clear up any of it!

Welcome Underdog, to the New CMC!~

Under and Dazzle plan is going to be crazy, huh?
Good. And who knows, maybe the Theif can become a friend...
