Soon it was the afternoon and school had let out for the day.
Contrary to yesterday, Tiara came prancing on in to greet Randolph and happily accepted his loving embrace.
“Greetings, Mistress Diamond,” Randolph formally declared, still taking care not to outright refer to Diamond in her role. “How was school today?”
“It was amazing!” Diamond happily declared while bouncing up and down! “But every moment I kept thinking of you, and of all the fun we’re gonna have together!”

Ugh! Could this be any more saccharine?

Next chapter will be the last.

Well, that's a shame. Hopefully there will be a sequel.

9504507 There probably will be, someday. I'm liking the idea you proposed, I'm thinking it should involve Apple Bloom finding out and inviting Diamond Tiara over for a padded sleepover at Sweet Apple Acres, since there's not a lot of padded pony fics featuring Apple Bloom.

9505685 And that needs to change. There's not a whole lot of padded Big Mac stories either. I'm wondering how Applejack and Granny Smith would feel about the sleepover. I could see Applejack, like Spoiled Rich, being against Apple Bloom exploring this side of herself at first, only to come to accepting it after Big Mac and Granny Smith talk to her.

Very nicely done. It is sad to know the story is coming to an end but also good to get super excited about all that is to come in the final part of this tale.

I'm very glad you took the time to explore this part of Diamond Tiara. It's also nice to see her get a good story that gets us to see a side of her that could be as a result of her upbringing, or lack thereof.

9505707 I'm thinking a sequel should incorporate Big Macintosh as a caretaker, since I don't think any padded pony works featuring Apple Bloom have really made use of him. It's understandable since he hasn't interacted with her as much but it would still be nice to see.

9506068 Really, the only episodes that had them interacting together at all are season four's "Pinkie Apple Pie" and season five's "Brotherhooves Social." I hope we get at least one more in season 9.

9506195 I'd kind of like that too, even if they can't top the emotional investment "Brotherhooves Social" had.

9506198 And, from the looks of the trailer, it looks like we'll be getting an episode centered around Applejack and Apple Bloom, hopefully similar to episodes like "Sisterhooves Social", "A Royal Problem"or "Sleepless in Ponyville." These two haven't actually had a sisterly episode like Sweetie Belle and Rarity or Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. And from what I've heard, we'll be getting an episode regarding the sibling rivalry between Twilight and Shining Armor.

9506203 Yup. Apparently it's the 200th episode, and is also a celebration of the five main VAs. Not sure how that's going to work but I guess we'll see.

9506203
Twilight and Shining have a sibling rivalry? Since when, I've seen every episode but don't remember them having such rivalry.

9506205 Hopefully it'll be better than the sibling rivalry we got with Littlest Pet Shop.

9506232 I know, it's weird for me too, especially within the context of "BBBFF." But considering the fact that Shining played a prank on her by telling her that ladybugs were constantly watching her through their spots, this suddenly doesn't seem so implausible. I'm hoping the episode in question will be a fun-filled hilarious episode.

9506382 I'd be fine if they didn't acknowledge any of the shorts, to be honest. They were extremely lacking in substance, and in the case of that Twilight one it made no sense considering she didn't freak out when a ladybug flew right past her in "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies", not to mention her chant with Cadence that includes ladybugs.

9506418 I don't see why saying the word "ladybug" would have any effect on her. And the ladybug flying past her in "It Ain't Easy Bein' Breezies" was a very minor detail that's easy to forget. Personally, I really enjoyed the shorts and hope that they'll eventually be released on DVD. Why they weren't released on the "Best Gift Ever" I don't know.

9506544 Because only three of them came out right after "Best Gift Ever", the rest were released over a course of six weeks beginning in late January.

9507168 Ah, that's true.
